RUSSIAN CIVIL WAR IMMINENT??? WAGNER GROUP MUTINIES AGAINST RUSSIAN MILITARY | America First Ep. 1180RUSSIAN CIVIL WAR IMMINENT??? WAGNER GROUP MUTINIES AGAINST RUSSIAN MILITARY | America First Ep. 1180


Summary

In this episode, I talk about the use of private military contractors to fight in Ukraine, and how they came to be used by Vladimir Putin and the Russian government. I discuss the history of the private military contractor, Wagner Group, and why Putin authorized them to join forces with the Russian military in Ukraine. I also talk about how Wagner Group recruited members of the Russian prison system to join the fight against Ukraine's pro-Moscow government. I also discuss why Putin allowed them to do so, and what it means for the future of Russia's military and its relations with the rest of the world.

00:00:00.000 Thanks for watching!
00:00:08.000 Because NATO and the EU have strict requirements for a state to join, and one of them is that they can't have a civil war going on.
00:00:17.000 They can't have that level of civil strife.
00:00:21.000 And so by sponsoring that war, not only were they destabilizing the Ukrainian state, they're preventing them from joining NATO and the European Union, and
00:00:31.000 They're effectively bringing territory under Russian control like had been done in Georgia 15 years ago and like is going on currently in Moldova and other countries.
00:00:43.000 Sort of an unofficial outpost of Russian influence in these former Soviet Union countries.
00:00:50.000 So that's the background here.
00:00:52.000 That's Wagner.
00:00:53.000 Now in 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine.
00:00:58.000 And things started to not go very well.
00:01:00.000 Russia attempted to take Kiev right away.
00:01:04.000 I almost called it Kiev.
00:01:04.000 That's what the Western media calls it.
00:01:08.000 But Russia attempted to take Ukraine's capital right away.
00:01:10.000 They went for Kiev.
00:01:12.000 It failed.
00:01:14.000 And it became clear by May and June that the war wasn't going to be over quickly.
00:01:19.000 That probably it was out of the question that Russia might ever take Ukraine's capital.
00:01:25.000 And so it was at that point that Russia began to enlist the help of the Wagner Group.
00:01:31.000 Because at that time, the Wagner Group was primarily operating out of West Africa, and elsewhere in the Middle East.
00:01:38.000 They were operating in Syria, shoring up the Assad government, they were in Libya, they were in the Central African Republic, and Niger, among other countries.
00:01:49.000 And so it was this summer when Putin called in the Wagner Group,
00:01:53.000 To aid the Russian military in Ukraine.
00:01:55.000 And again, there's an important distinction here.
00:01:59.000 The Russian military is under the control of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
00:02:04.000 And that's the official Russian Armed Forces acting officially on behalf of the Russian government, answering directly to Putin on an official, formal basis.
00:02:16.000 They were failing.
00:02:18.000 So Putin called in his friend, Prigozhin,
00:02:23.000 To bring in the private military contractors who are not a part of the Russian state.
00:02:28.000 Not technically, not formally, not officially.
00:02:32.000 They were brought in to help the Russian military, which was not doing so well and which was ill-equipped.
00:02:38.000 And which, really, Vladimir Putin did not want to mobilize the full military.
00:02:42.000 That's the other aspect of this.
00:02:45.000 Is that the private military contractor allows for Russia to be at war without fully mobilizing the state.
00:02:54.000 And there are good reasons for not fully mobilizing.
00:02:56.000 To fully mobilize the economy and to institute a draft and begin enlisting civilians into the army is very bad for Russian society.
00:03:05.000 It hurts Russian morale.
00:03:07.000 We're good to go.
00:03:21.000 Last year, when Russia invaded Ukraine, they didn't call it a war.
00:03:24.000 They didn't declare war on Ukraine.
00:03:26.000 They said it was a special military operation, and that's not just a legal technicality.
00:03:31.000 They don't want to call it a war, because they don't want to fully mobilize the army, because they don't want to drag the Russian society into a war effort.
00:03:40.000 That's all part of this domestic political calculus by Putin.
00:03:45.000 So when the Russian military was not able to quickly take Kiev, Putin called up the private military contractors so that they could sustain this partial mobilization.
00:03:57.000 The Russian military wasn't cutting it, they needed reinforcements, they didn't want to mobilize more of the military, so they brought in the Wagner Group.
00:04:05.000 The Wagner Group was not very big.
00:04:07.000 At the time that the war in Ukraine broke out, the Wagner Group only had about 10,000 troops.
00:04:14.000 And so what Putin did, and this was only possible through a direct authorization of Putin,
00:04:19.000 Is that he authorized the Wagner Group to go to Russian prisons and to begin enlisting felons that are currently imprisoned in Russia into the military.
00:04:30.000 And this has been going on from about July to February or January.
00:04:36.000 And it was only discovered in, I think, January that this was even happening.
00:04:41.000 Or September, maybe.
00:04:43.000 But there was a leaked video where Prigozhin, the head of Wagner Group, was going to these prisons and telling the prisoners there that they could serve in the Wagner Group in Ukraine, and they could go and fight and leave prison, and they would never go back to prison.
00:04:59.000 That was the deal.
00:05:01.000 But it would be very brutal fighting.
00:05:03.000 There'd be a lot of casualties, they'd be on the front lines, but that was the deal.
00:05:09.000 This can only happen with the authorization of Putin because this breaks with a lot of historic precedent.
00:05:15.000 for a military outfit to go from prison to prison and try to recruit felons and basically expunge their record.
00:05:22.000 So Putin had to sign off on this.
00:05:25.000 He brings in Wagner Group to recruit from the prisons, again, so that they don't have to mobilize more of the population, they can kind of shield the population from this, and they bring in the private military contractor to enlist prisoners, which is another unsavory thing that the Russian military probably wouldn't want to do themselves.
00:05:46.000 And so the Wagner Group swells to 50,000 members.
00:05:49.000 And they have a real army.
00:05:52.000 And they go in, and they start doing a lot better than the Russian military.
00:05:57.000 They're advancing at a much faster rate than the Russian military had been.
00:06:02.000 And so around the fall, Wagner Group starts to brag about its military success and they also start to complain.
00:06:09.000 They say that the Russian military is not holding up their end of the bargain, they're not providing the Wagner Group with the logistical support they need, they're not providing ammunition.
00:06:19.000 And so this is where we get to the last six months.
00:06:23.000 This is where things start to break down, because that's ultimately what the day's events are about, is a breakdown and a conflict between the Wagner Group, this private entity, and their very outspoken leader, Prigozhin, and the Russian military, the Russian Ministry of Defense, which is under the Defense Minister and the Russian generals.
00:06:46.000 So this is where we see the origins, and I'll read some background here.
00:06:52.000 These are some news articles from this year which will give some details about specifically how we got here.
00:06:59.000 So, in October and September, the head of Wagner Group, Prigozhin, starts going out on social media.
00:07:04.000 He's very outspoken.
00:07:06.000 He's going on Telegram, actually, and going on other Russian social media, and he's posting these rants.
00:07:14.000 And he's very braggadocious and posting these spectacles like
00:07:21.000 Videos of Ukrainian bodies and smashing Ukrainian bodies with sledgehammers.
00:07:27.000 And he's calling out the Russian generals.
00:07:29.000 And he's challenging them, saying, you can't get the results that I can get.
00:07:33.000 You are not giving me the ammunition that I need to be successful.
00:07:37.000 You're doing that because you can't keep up with me.
00:07:39.000 And so in the fall,
00:07:43.000 He's swearing, he's unprofessional, he's challenging the Russian state, and he's also trying to fashion himself into a political leader.
00:07:50.000 This is a very important aspect of what's happening.
00:07:53.000 This Purgosian figure, by using social media, is trying to make himself into the face of the special military operation.
00:08:02.000 He's allying with the rival political party against Putin's political party, United Russia.
00:08:09.000 He's talking about creating an ideological army in the Russian society that goes beyond just the war in Ukraine.
00:08:17.000 He's trying to get on TV.
00:08:18.000 He's trying to get popularity.
00:08:21.000 And to this day, he's one of the most popular wartime leaders in Russia.
00:08:27.000 The President of Russia, Putin, doesn't like this.
00:08:30.000 And he specifically goes out to the Russian state media and tells them not to broadcast Purgosian's messages.
00:08:37.000 He tells Russian television, Russian print and radio, do not publish these social media videos by Purgosian, do not talk about his military successes.
00:08:46.000 And so 30% of the Russian population doesn't even know who he is.
00:08:50.000 Because he's being throttled by the Russian President.
00:08:54.000 In January, Putin suspends Purgosian's ability to recruit from the Russian prisons.
00:09:01.000 And so Wagner's recruitment dries up.
00:09:02.000 They're not able to keep recruiting more men.
00:09:05.000 This is only the beginning.
00:09:07.000 And then there was a story in the Washington Post a couple months ago about some intelligence leaks that came out of Ukraine.
00:09:13.000 This is a story from Washington Post.
00:09:16.000 It's his quote in late January with his mercenary forces dying by the thousands in Bakhmut.
00:09:23.000 Wagner Group owner Prigozhin made Ukraine an extraordinary offer.
00:09:27.000 He said that if Ukraine's commanders withdrew their soldiers from the area around Bakhmut, he would give Kiev information on Russian troop positions, which Ukraine could use to attack them.
00:09:39.000 Pregozhin conveyed the proposal to his contacts in Ukraine's military intelligence directorate with whom he has maintained secret communications during the course of the war.
00:09:49.000 Other leaked documents reveal that the Russian Defense Ministry officials were privately wondering how to respond to Purgosian's criticism of the military's performance and his demands for more resources, which they conceded were not illegitimate grievances.
00:10:04.000 The documents also speak to a power struggle between Purgosian and top officials, including the Russian Defense Minister, Sergei Shoigu.
00:10:14.000 So this was only revealed in May this year.
00:10:18.000 Washington Post published this.
00:10:20.000 This is leaked intelligence from January.
00:10:24.000 And again, over the last year, Purgosian and his Wagner Group are much more successful than the Russian military.
00:10:32.000 And these are Purgosian's men.
00:10:34.000 These are his guys that he trained.
00:10:37.000 These are his guys which he recruited.
00:10:40.000 And he's complaining on social media and complaining to the military that the Russian military is not as successful, they're not showing up in Bakhmut where the front line is, where there's heavy casualties, and not only are they not as successful, not only are they not providing the manpower support on the front lines, but he says that they're withholding ammunition, and they're withholding ammunition because he's making them look bad.
00:11:09.000 He's so successful, they're not.
00:11:13.000 And so in order to cover for themselves, they're throttling his ability to advance in Ukraine by withholding material support.
00:11:20.000 And as a consequence, Purgosian says he's suffering even more casualties.
00:11:24.000 He's saying, where is the Russian military on the front lines?
00:11:27.000 Where's my ammunition?
00:11:29.000 It's being withheld because they're not successful.
00:11:34.000 And so Prigozhin then, according to the leaked intelligence, goes to Ukraine and says, if you stop attacking my men in Bakhmut on the front lines, I'll tell you where you can fight the Russian military.
00:11:46.000 I'll tell you where they are and where morale is low.
00:11:51.000 And then you can go and fight them.
00:11:54.000 And while he's complaining on social media, within the Russian military, the defense minister and the generals are saying to themselves, well, he's not wrong.
00:12:02.000 He's not wrong about their failures.
00:12:04.000 He's not wrong about the ammunition shortages.
00:12:06.000 They say they're not illegitimate grievances.
00:12:09.000 So they acknowledge that he's kind of right.
00:12:13.000 Then in early May,
00:12:16.000 As the Bakhmut battle is winding to a close, Purgosian goes out and says that he's done.
00:12:22.000 He's going to retreat, he's going to abandon Bakhmut, he's not got the ammunition that he needs, he doesn't have the support that he needs, so he says that if the Russian military doesn't relieve him, he's pulling out on May 10th, and this is another story.
00:12:37.000 It says, quote, the war of words between Wagner chief Purgosian and the Russian defense ministry escalated with the paramilitary group's financier filming himself raging at Moscow and threatening to pull out of Bakhmut.
00:12:52.000 In a statement published by Purgosian's press service, Wagner commanders accused Russia's defense ministry of artificially creating shell shortages for their mercenaries and causing higher casualties.
00:13:04.000 Wagner's statement accuses the Kremlin of being jealous of its forces' successes on the front lines, particularly after the Defense Ministry units were forced to retreat from Kharkiv and Kursan during Ukraine's September 2022 counteroffensive.
00:13:19.000 He said, quote, we were supposed to take Bakhmut by May 9th, and knowing that military bureaucrats almost completely cut our shells supplies on May 1st.
00:13:30.000 Pergozhin's video and the Wagner Statement present an extraordinary breakdown in relations between the Kremlin and its most famous paramilitary unit, whose forces are key to Russia's offensive on Bakhmut, a strategic town that has seen some of the heaviest fighting in recent months.
00:13:45.000 The statement published by Wagner claims Russian Defense Ministry units were supposed to cover the paramilitary group's flanks, but are struggling to do so.
00:13:55.000 The commander's added that there are insufficient resources to continue storming Ukrainian positions and as a result dozens of mercenaries are being killed every day.
00:14:05.000 On May 10th, Wagner's forces will retreat and pass their frontline positions to Russia's official army, said Prigozhin.
00:14:15.000 So he says, and this is after six months, in January he's offering the positions
00:14:21.000 of the Russian Defense Ministry to Ukraine, and the Russian Defense Ministry officials are wondering how they're going to compete in the press.
00:14:30.000 And then by May, after five months of heavy fighting and some say as high as a hundred deaths per day by the Wagner Group, Purgosian says, we're done.
00:14:41.000 If you want to fill in, you can, but we're out because we don't want to bleed anymore.
00:14:41.000 We're retreating.
00:14:46.000 He says they were supposed to help our flanks.
00:14:47.000 They're supposed to be providing ammunition, but they're not.
00:14:51.000 And now we're the ones that are doing all the dying.
00:14:53.000 So we're done.
00:14:55.000 If Bahmut falls, it's your problem.
00:14:59.000 Then a month later...
00:15:01.000 The struggle reaches a pivotal moment, and this is what really created this situation.
00:15:08.000 This is the precipitating cause of this crisis today, which we'll get into the events of today, but I want to tell the whole story.
00:15:16.000 This is the precipitating cause.
00:15:19.000 This month, in June, the Defense Ministry demands that Purgosian sign all the mercenaries in the Wagner Group on contracts with the Defense Ministry.
00:15:31.000 In other words, the Defense Minister, the President, have said, okay, enough.
00:15:38.000 You work for us.
00:15:40.000 They want the Wagner Group to sign all their soldiers over to the Defense Ministry.
00:15:45.000 They don't want them to be private anymore.
00:15:47.000 They want them to be contracted to the Russian military.
00:15:50.000 And it looks like that was an attempt to subordinate Purgosian to the Russian military, formally.
00:15:57.000 They said, this guy's out of control, he's running his mouth in the public,
00:16:02.000 He's outspoken against a war and probably actually running afoul of censorship laws in Russia.
00:16:07.000 There are censorship laws in Russia that prevent people from being outspoken against a war effort.
00:16:13.000 He's probably breaking them, even though he's part of it.
00:16:16.000 So the Russian military says, enough.
00:16:19.000 No more prison recruits.
00:16:23.000 You're not going to run your mouth and challenge the Defense Ministry anymore.
00:16:26.000 You're not going to retreat from Bakhmut.
00:16:29.000 You work for us.
00:16:31.000 And Purgosian says no.
00:16:33.000 And this is the story.
00:16:35.000 It says, quote, fighters of the Wagner paramilitary group will not sign contracts with the Russian Defense Ministry, says the Wagner boss, Prigozhin, countering an effort by the ministry in Moscow to integrate the mercenaries into the Ordinary Army.
00:16:49.000 Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu on Saturday ordered all volunteer detachments at the front in the Ukraine to sign contracts with the Defense Ministry by July 1st in order to increase the effectiveness of the army.
00:17:04.000 He did not specifically mention Wagner, but the soldiers are frequently referred to as volunteer assault detachments.
00:17:11.000 In response, Purgosian posted a statement on Telegram saying that Wagner will not sign any contracts with Shoigu, who is his rival.
00:17:20.000 Pergozhin has repeatedly attacked Russian President Vladimir Putin's top military brass for what he casts as treachery, for failing to fight the war in Ukraine properly, and he repeatedly accused the Kremlin's high command of withholding ammunition from Wagner forces fighting in Bakhmut, which has seen some of the fiercest combat of the war.
00:17:41.000 So this is the precipitating cause.
00:17:43.000 The Defense Ministry says, enough!
00:17:46.000 And clearly they're trying to assert supremacy.
00:17:50.000 They're trying to assert primacy in the chain of command over Purgosian.
00:17:54.000 Because you can't have that insubordination.
00:17:58.000 You can't have generals fighting generals.
00:18:00.000 You can't have a general going out and cussing out the Defense Ministry and saying that he's going to retreat and giving positions to Ukraine.
00:18:09.000 It's just unacceptable.
00:18:10.000 And so clearly it came to a head.
00:18:13.000 As they said enough.
00:18:15.000 And Purgosian said no.
00:18:16.000 This is what paved the way.
00:18:18.000 This is another part of Purgosian's response.
00:18:21.000 This is from this past week.
00:18:25.000 Purgosian goes out and says that the Defense Minister is lying to the Russian President about his success in Ukraine, and abjectly resists Putin's direct orders to sign his mercenaries to the Russian military.
00:18:39.000 This is the story, this is the last one.
00:18:42.000 It says, quote, Russia's Defense Minister Sergei Shuigu is lying to President Vladimir Putin about colossal battlefield failures in Ukraine, according to Prygozhin, on Thursday, which is yesterday.
00:18:54.000 His latest tirade comes amid a spat over an order issued by the Defense Minister that members of volunteer formations must sign contracts with the Russian Federation by July 1st.
00:19:05.000 After Purgosian rejected the order, Putin said during a meeting with pro-war bloggers that his Defense Minister's initiative, quote, has to be done and it has to be done as quickly as possible.
00:19:16.000 So this is yesterday.
00:19:18.000 This is the cause here.
00:19:20.000 Purgosian refuses.
00:19:22.000 Putin comes down and says, it's not optional.
00:19:25.000 It's not a choice.
00:19:28.000 This is accepted.
00:19:29.000 This is in line with precedent.
00:19:33.000 It has to happen by July 1st, and it has to happen as soon as possible.
00:19:37.000 And so that's what brings us to today.
00:19:39.000 And the reason I spell out all the background is to understand exactly the nature of what's going on today, because it's not a coup.
00:19:47.000 It's not a coup against Vladimir Putin, although it might look like one.
00:19:51.000 That's not apparently what it is.
00:19:55.000 Although it very well could turn into that.
00:19:58.000 It appears to be a rebellion by Purgosian and the Wagner Group against the Russian military leadership.
00:20:06.000 Because throughout this entire battle, Purgosian has not actually criticized Putin.
00:20:10.000 Not in public.
00:20:13.000 Reports have said that Purgosian is the only one that will criticize Putin in private, but he has not criticized nor has he challenged Putin in public.
00:20:23.000 His rivalry, his criticisms, are about the defense minister and about the generals.
00:20:29.000 And that's what today's events appear to be about.
00:20:32.000 It looks like an effort to solidify control over the Russian military and the operation in Ukraine.
00:20:40.000 Probably serving under Putin until it's over and then, it seems likely, transforming that into some sort of political movement.
00:20:49.000 That is what apparently is happening.
00:20:52.000 But this is the story from today from Fox News.
00:20:57.000 It says, quote, a Russian government agency is opening a criminal investigation into Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin after he called for an armed rebellion on Friday which was aimed at removing the country's defense minister.
00:21:10.000 In a series of video and audio recordings, Prigozhin angrily accused Defense Minister Shuigu of ordering a rocket strike on the private military contractor's field camps where the group is fighting on behalf of Russia and Ukraine.
00:21:24.000 Purgosian said, it's not a military coup, but a march of justice.
00:21:28.000 The evil embodied by the country's military leadership must be stopped.
00:21:34.000 So, earlier today, and these are the first events, this is the timeline, Purgosian claims that the Russian Defense Ministry hit a Wagner camp with missiles and killed thousands of their soldiers.
00:21:47.000 So, Purgosian declares war on the Defense Ministry.
00:21:50.000 That's what it was, a declaration of war.
00:21:52.000 He said, we're going to march to Moscow.
00:21:55.000 Nobody stand in our way or we'll kill you.
00:21:57.000 And he says that the Russian National Guard can join them and take their deal or they'll face consequences and be punished when they take power.
00:22:05.000 He says that they're not attempting to overthrow the government, but they want justice.
00:22:10.000 They're going to march to Moscow and then back to the front lines to win the war.
00:22:16.000 And it was after this that the Russian FSB, which is their equivalent of the FBI, said that they're opening an investigation into Purgosian for declaring this rebellion.
00:22:27.000 And at the same time, the Russian government denied the missile strike.
00:22:30.000 So, we don't know if the missile strike happened.
00:22:36.000 The story goes on, it says, quote, according to the state news agency, the National Antiterrorism Committee, which is part of the Federal Security Services, will be opening a criminal investigation on charges of calling for an armed rebellion.
00:22:51.000 The report states that the Russian president was kept informed of the situation.
00:22:56.000 Moscow appears to be taking the threat seriously as the National Guard and riot police were sent to provide security for key facilities in Moscow, which includes transport infrastructure and government agencies.
00:23:07.000 In a statement to Fox News, National Security Council Spokesperson Adam Hodge said that we are monitoring the situation and will be consulting with allies and partners on these developments.
00:23:17.000 President Biden has been briefed on the situation.
00:23:21.000 Russian state media reported that police checkpoints have been set up on Russia's M4 highway after Rostov towards Aksay and cars are being turned around back into the city.
00:23:35.000 And the latest is that all the highways into Moscow have been closed by the military.
00:23:40.000 So the military and police have been deployed across Moscow.
00:23:44.000 Riot police are out.
00:23:46.000 They have told people not to leave their homes.
00:23:47.000 They have cut off all the highways.
00:23:49.000 They have instituted the Fortress Protocol, where they're protecting Kremlin assets and other Defense Ministry assets in the city.
00:23:58.000 Putin is being sheltered somewhere in the city.
00:24:01.000 The latest updates come from Telegram and from other news agencies, and they show that Google News has been shut down in Russia.
00:24:10.000 They say that Purgosian and Wagner have crossed the border from Ukraine into Russia and they've seized Rostov, which is a major city of more than a million people, and that they've taken control of Ministry of Defense buildings, including the Southern Military District headquarters.
00:24:28.000 And apparently they've done that without any resistance from the military.
00:24:32.000 No shooting, no resistance, no confrontation.
00:24:36.000 Apparently, Purgosian and Wagner walked in from Ukraine into Rostov, or Rostov on Don, Rostov on the Don River.
00:24:46.000 They've taken over the city, they've taken over the police headquarters, they've taken over the Southern Military District headquarters, they've taken over the Defense Ministry building, and there hasn't been any fighting.
00:24:58.000 Meanwhile, Moscow is a fortress, they've sealed off all the highways,
00:25:04.000 And they're protecting all the Defense Ministry assets there.
00:25:08.000 And so what this would suggest about the current state of things is that probably Purgosian is not having any resistance because there are sympathetic elements within the Russian military.
00:25:20.000 And so this is the complete picture of what's going on.
00:25:25.000 Is that after this brewing conflict between the Russian military and Wagner Group, Purgosian declared war on the Ministry of Defense.
00:25:33.000 After the Ministry of Defense gave him an ultimatum, they said, you gotta turn yourself over to the Ministry of Defense, you have to become part of the military.
00:25:44.000 And Purgosian said, no.
00:25:46.000 You are going to become part of Wagner.
00:25:48.000 You are going to become a part of my command.
00:25:52.000 And so now, like Napoleon, he is calling on the Russian military, he's calling on the Russian National Guard to join him to overthrow the leadership of the military.
00:26:02.000 And understand, the Wagner Group is totally dependent on the Russian military.
00:26:08.000 The Wagner Group is dependent on the Russian military supply chains and for logistics, and they can't survive without the Russian military.
00:26:17.000 And the Russian military is much bigger.
00:26:20.000 But what Purgosian is counting on is for the soldiers to turn against the Ministry of Defense.
00:26:26.000 And there are some reports that Russian soldiers working alongside the Wagner Group in Bakhmut are joining up with Purgosian because they agree with him.
00:26:36.000 They're fed up with the Russian Defense Ministry as well.
00:26:39.000 And it would suggest, because Purgosian was able to walk into Rostov, which is a major city, without a shot being fired and without resistance, it would indicate
00:26:50.000 That the Russian National Guard stood down, that the Russian military stood down.
00:26:56.000 And they didn't resist because they want to work for Purgosian.
00:27:02.000 And so now there's this crisis within the military and it's really an open-ended question of where the military's loyalty lies.
00:27:09.000 Some say now that on the road between Rostov and Moscow, probably Purgosian and the Wagner Group will encounter loyalists
00:27:20.000 To the Chechen leader Kadyrov, or to the Russian Defense Ministry, and that there may actually be fighting on the road to Moscow.
00:27:27.000 And so this might actually turn into a full-fledged civil war.
00:27:33.000 And really those are the two outcomes.
00:27:34.000 It looks like either Prigozhin is going to get himself into a war with the Russian military, which
00:27:42.000 It's going to result probably in the collapse of the Russian front line in Ukraine amid this counter-offensive.
00:27:48.000 It's going to result in chaos across the Russian state.
00:27:51.000 It's going to result in all of these territories and allies of Russia, like Syria, Transnistria, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, breaking away without the Russian military support.
00:28:04.000 So that's option one, is a full-fledged civil war, which it looks like, based on Purgosian support, is very likely
00:28:12.000 Or, Purgosian will be arrested in the next few days and killed, and the Russian military will gain control over the Wagner Group.
00:28:22.000 But this is the situation as it stands, and I don't know, there may have been updates since I went live.
00:28:27.000 Because, you know, it's been constantly evolving as the night has gone on, and it's been tricky because some of it's confirmed, some of it is rumors.
00:28:36.000 And so there have been unconfirmed reports that helicopters have been shot down and that there is shooting in other cities.
00:28:43.000 We don't know that for sure yet.
00:28:44.000 What we do know, based on video, is that they have taken control of Rostov.
00:28:49.000 They've taken control and cordoned off the Defense Ministry and law enforcement facilities in that city.
00:28:57.000 I don't think so.
00:29:12.000 And video from Moscow shows that they have locked down the city.
00:29:14.000 So we do have confirmation on all of that, but it's a situation that has been unfolding over the day with a lot of unverified information, but we're learning more as it goes on.
00:29:25.000 And honestly, we still don't even exactly know the nature of what it is, because I actually still think it's an outstanding question of what is Putin's role in all of this?
00:29:34.000 I wonder, because he did meet with Purgosian a few days ago,
00:29:39.000 If he might be in on this in some way, I think that might be a little bit far-fetched.
00:29:45.000 But it's curious to me that they haven't announced that they're going to arrest him yet.
00:29:51.000 They said that they're investigating, but they haven't indicted him.
00:29:54.000 They haven't called for his arrest yet.
00:29:58.000 So it's a little bit puzzling.
00:29:59.000 There hasn't been a huge response from the Ministry of Defense, and you wonder why that is.
00:30:03.000 Is there a power struggle happening in Moscow?
00:30:08.000 And you have to wonder what that conversation was a few days ago between Putin and Purgosian.
00:30:14.000 Probably it was an ultimatum.
00:30:17.000 Probably that is what precipitated this showdown.
00:30:22.000 And it seems that it all stems from Purgosian becoming this outspoken military potential political leader, being stifled, being the victim of this internal politics within the Russian military over his success and their lack of success,
00:30:37.000 So he's stifled by Putin politically, stifled by the military militarily, and he refuses to go down and subordinate himself to the military.
00:30:47.000 And so now, recognizing that, I mean, he probably would be a good candidate for assassination, he's just getting too popular, he's crossed too many red lines, he's saying there's only one way I'm going out and that's... I'm gonna try and take over the military.
00:31:05.000 So he crossed the Rubicon.
00:31:06.000 He went into Russia.
00:31:09.000 And he's counting on tremendous support from inside the Russian Ministry of Defense.
00:31:13.000 He's counting on a lot of people to jump ship to recognize that he's correct.
00:31:20.000 That he's not getting ammunition, that the Russian military has been mishandling the war, they have been lying to Putin, he's counting on support from the Russian National Guard, from the Russian Defense Ministry, in order to pull off a military coup, not against the President, but against a military brass.
00:31:37.000 Now, I don't know how likely it is that he's successful.
00:31:39.000 There may be a protracted civil war, and if he is successful, I think that spells the end of Russia.
00:31:47.000 I don't think Putin remains president in a situation where his government loses a war with a private military contractor, an oligarch.
00:31:56.000 Also, if there was a major civil war, probably would mean that Russia would lose the war in Ukraine.
00:32:02.000 And if that happens, again, I think that's the end of the Putin regime.
00:32:09.000 So a civil war is going to be a very bad situation.
00:32:12.000 I think regardless of the outcome,
00:32:14.000 The front line is broken in Ukraine without a united front.
00:32:18.000 I think they lose all these Russian proxies.
00:32:23.000 For example, Transnistria in Moldova, Abkhazia and South Ossetia in Georgia, even Chechnya in the Caucasus.
00:32:31.000 You're going to get another Chechen War.
00:32:33.000 Syria, among others.
00:32:37.000 A civil war is going to be catastrophic for the Russian state, whatever the outcome.
00:32:42.000 Alternatively, it could all be over very quickly.
00:32:46.000 If Purgosian doesn't have a lot of support, he'll be arrested within a few days, and they'll put down the rebellion, and it'll still be a very embarrassing disaster, but it probably won't be existential.
00:33:02.000 So these are the developments in Russia, and I have to say, as far as Purgosian is concerned, he's a traitor.
00:33:11.000 Because these actions are going to spell the end of the Russian state, if he's successful.
00:33:18.000 I'll also point out he's a Jew.
00:33:20.000 He's an Ashkenazi Jew.
00:33:24.000 And so in a time of war, he's running away from the front lines to go fight the homeland, to go fight the capital.
00:33:31.000 To go, presumably, kill Russian soldiers in a move that is not going to be good for anybody other than him.
00:33:39.000 So in my view, he's a total traitor.
00:33:42.000 And this is bad for everybody.
00:33:43.000 This is bad for Russia, this is bad for Europe, this is bad for America, it's bad for China.
00:33:49.000 Because Russia falling into some sort of failed state status, which seems more likely by the hour, as we said earlier during the show, is a global catastrophe.
00:34:03.000 Because now you got, what is it, 6,000 nuclear weapons?
00:34:08.000 In the hands of, who knows, rogue elements in the military?
00:34:14.000 It's a very bad situation.
00:34:17.000 This level of instability, presently and in the future, is gonna be like the defining geostrategic calamity of our generation.
00:34:27.000 No joke.
00:34:29.000 If Chechnya breaks away, if these other provinces break away, this is going to spell the end of the Russian Federation.
00:34:35.000 It's a big problem.
00:34:36.000 And by the way, that's not good for anybody.
00:34:39.000 I know the Americans are pushing for this.
00:34:41.000 I know that the American regime is pushing for Russia to lose and they want a coup.
00:34:45.000 They think that if there's a coup in Russia, I don't know, some liberal who is going to legalize gay marriage will get elected.
00:34:53.000 In reality, it's going to be like it was in the 90s, which is chaos, anarchy, violence, and a major power vacuum in a massive part of the world, and a very strategically important part of the world.
00:35:10.000 So this is a very scary situation, and we'll be watching and we'll see what happens here.
00:35:16.000 We don't even really know, again, fully what's happening.
00:35:22.000 I think if you look at the background here, like we did on the show tonight, and you sort of go through the whole timeline from the beginning until the end, I think you can make sense out of it.
00:35:34.000 But we really have no idea.
00:35:35.000 And I think things will become a lot more clear over the coming days.
00:35:38.000 You know, we'll know what the trajectory is, and we'll also know who's in on it, and what really is going on, because right now there's just so much unverified information, it's hard to say.
00:35:52.000 You know?
00:35:54.000 But it's a bad and it's a constantly developing situation.
00:35:58.000 So we'll see.
00:35:59.000 But it looks like to me, to make sense out of it, to tie a bow on it, Russian military goes in.
00:36:05.000 It's not going so well.
00:36:07.000 They bring in the private military contractor to avoid a total mobilization.
00:36:12.000 To facilitate that, Putin opens up the prisons for Wagner to recruit.
00:36:18.000 Wagner goes in.
00:36:20.000 They're very successful.
00:36:22.000 In accordance with modern warfare standards, they're making good advances in Ukraine.
00:36:28.000 And then it seems like the Defense Ministry starts to get jealous that they're being made to look bad.
00:36:33.000 So they pull back.
00:36:35.000 They start throttling his supplies.
00:36:37.000 And it would seem, by taking it to the media, that he was not able to resolve this behind the scenes.
00:36:43.000 Purgosian going out to the media and taking it to the public would suggest that he was making these demands to the Russian Defense Ministry and they weren't listening.
00:36:51.000 So he said, okay, I'll go to the media.
00:36:53.000 I'll go to the people.
00:36:54.000 And I'll embarrass you and I'll destroy your credibility.
00:36:57.000 I'll cause problems there.
00:36:59.000 So in the fall, he starts going on these expletive-laden rants on Telegram about how he's not getting what he wants, he's embarrassing the Russian Defense Ministry, and he's also talking about, and it seems like, a political career.
00:37:15.000 He denies that he wants one, but he's talking about forming an ideological army, bringing Wagner to the society he wants to be the face, and Wagner to be sort of like
00:37:26.000 More embedded in Russian society in the aftermath of the war.
00:37:30.000 Once they're done in Bakhmut, he wants to bring that clout into Russian society.
00:37:37.000 And so Putin doesn't want that, doesn't like another war hero becoming popular, because there really is no political opposition.
00:37:44.000 So he throttles him in the media, throttles him on television.
00:37:49.000 Purgosian, frustrated in January, goes to the Ukrainians,
00:37:54.000 And says, I'll give you their positions if you stop relenting, or rather stop fighting, if you relent and stop killing my guys.
00:38:01.000 I don't know if that deal happens.
00:38:03.000 In response to this, Putin pulls his recruitment from the penal colony.
00:38:08.000 Purgosian, losing all his guys, says that he's pulling out of Bakhmut, and says the Ministry of Defense can fill in where he left.
00:38:16.000 This open insubordination and defiance has reached a Feeford pitch, and Putin says, you gotta become part of the military.
00:38:24.000 Purgosian says no.
00:38:25.000 Putin directly tells him you have to join as quickly as possible.
00:38:29.000 Purgosian now declares war on the Ministry of Defense and says I'm going to overthrow the military and then fight the war my way.
00:38:36.000 And now, it's a fight.
00:38:38.000 And it's a fight about where the allegiance lies in the military.
00:38:42.000 Because if the Ministry of Defense stands with Shoeigu, and with the generals, and with Putin, then Wagner Group will fall apart and he will be arrested shortly.
00:38:51.000 But if there's significant opposition to the Defense Ministry, then there may be a major civil war, in which case Russia explodes.
00:38:59.000 And it's just like game over for a decade.
00:39:01.000 Or longer.
00:39:05.000 But this crisis is brought to you by the neocons position in Russia.
00:39:09.000 They pushed, and they pushed, and they pushed.
00:39:12.000 And to zoom out here and talk about the war in Ukraine, understand that Ukraine has only been able to persist for the last nine years because of American support.
00:39:24.000 This has been going on for decades if you really want to go back.
00:39:29.000 In 2008, Putin said Ukraine and Georgia will never join NATO.
00:39:36.000 Because, of course, since the Cold War ended in 1991, NATO keeps expanding every year, going further and further east.
00:39:46.000 There was a handshake deal in 1991 that said,
00:39:51.000 We will allow Eastern Germany to reunify with Germany and form a unified Germany and become part of NATO, but you can't move NATO further east.
00:40:01.000 There's also another deal, the Budapest Memorandum in 1994, which says that Ukraine will give up the nuclear weapons that it has in exchange for a security guarantee from the West, which kind of set the stage for this.
00:40:13.000 But there's no security guarantee given for Russia.
00:40:17.000 As NATO expands eastward,
00:40:21.000 Putin speaks out and says, there's a limit to how far this expansion can go.
00:40:26.000 And Russia at this point is a fledgling state.
00:40:30.000 Putin's elected in 2000, and Russia's in chaos.
00:40:35.000 Russia's poor, there's violence, there's this gang warfare between organized crime and these Jewish oligarchs.
00:40:44.000 And so Putin comes in and over the course of the last 20 years solidifies the state,
00:40:50.000 In 2007-2008, he says, you're not going to expand into Ukraine and Georgia, it's too close.
00:40:56.000 We need control of the Black Sea, we need control of this peripheral region.
00:41:02.000 But in 2008, NATO says, we want Ukraine and Georgia and NATO, and Georgia attempts to join NATO in 2008, and there's a major war with Russia over this.
00:41:13.000 I think it's in 2006.
00:41:15.000 There's an Orange Revolution in Ukraine.
00:41:17.000 They overthrow the Russian president and they install a pro-Western president.
00:41:22.000 He's wildly unpopular.
00:41:24.000 He gets ousted in 2012 by Yanukovych.
00:41:27.000 Yanukovych is the most popular politician in Ukraine.
00:41:30.000 He's pro-Russian.
00:41:31.000 In 2014, Yanukovych
00:41:34.000 Torpedoes a deal that would bring Ukraine into the European Union, and instead goes with a deal with Russia that would be more lucrative for Ukraine.
00:41:44.000 And then the State Department and the CIA sponsor the Euromaidan coup, and they overthrow the government, and they install a pro-Western leader.
00:41:52.000 Russia moves into Crimea, Russia starts this civil war in the Donbass, and over the last eight years
00:42:02.000 Not just the last year.
00:42:04.000 Over the last 8 or 9 years, ever since this coup in 2014, the United States has been supplying Ukraine.
00:42:12.000 They've been supplying Ukraine with non-lethal aid under the Trump administration, with lethal aid under the Trump administration.
00:42:20.000 They've been redeploying medium-range ballistic missiles to Europe.
00:42:24.000 Turkey has been selling drones to Ukraine, so Ukraine has been armed to the teeth by the West for the last 10 years.
00:42:32.000 Not just the last year.
00:42:35.000 Under Obama, under Trump,
00:42:38.000 They have been fortifying their defenses, bolstering their offensive capability against this separatist movement in Donbass.
00:42:46.000 And they've never backed down, by the way.
00:42:48.000 The pro-Western government in Ukraine has only been getting more aggressive, saying they're gonna take Crimea, they're gonna take Donbass, they're gonna get a nuclear arsenal.
00:42:58.000 This has been going on for 10 years.
00:43:01.000 And Putin has been giving these ultimatums ever since Trump revised
00:43:06.000 The American strategy in Eastern Europe and began redeploying medium-range ballistic missiles Putin has said and he's put out multiple requests and said we need to have a meeting and by the way a reasonable request to get rid of the missiles in Eastern Europe and it can be reciprocal and there can be terms on both sides but he's put out multiple overtures in 2020 and 2021.
00:43:28.000 We have to talk about Ukraine.
00:43:36.000 And it reached a fever pitch in the fall of 2021.
00:43:38.000 Russia deployed hundreds of thousands of troops around the border and said, look, if you don't negotiate, we're going to invade.
00:43:44.000 And the West refused to negotiate, repeatedly.
00:43:48.000 And then in February 2022, Zelensky goes to the Munich Security Conference and says, we need to get nukes.
00:43:57.000 If the West is not going to protect us in accordance with the Budapest Memorandum, then we need nukes.
00:44:04.000 And Putin invaded.
00:44:07.000 Now understand that Ukraine never stood a chance at defeating Russia.
00:44:13.000 Now because Ukraine had been armed to the teeth over the last 10 years, Russia had difficulty taking over Ukraine in a short period of time.
00:44:24.000 So they launched the war February 24, 2022, and they didn't get Kiev.
00:44:28.000 They slowed down very quickly, and that was due to problems with the Russian military, but also because of the, of course, with the support of the Western military for the last decade.
00:44:39.000 But it wasn't until May 2022 that Biden says we're going to give you an unconditional blank check war guarantee.
00:44:47.000 Hundreds of billions of dollars in supplies, in aid, support from NATO, sanctions, you name it.
00:44:54.000 Basically conducting a shadow war against Russia.
00:44:58.000 Giving intelligence on Russian naval vessels in the Black Sea.
00:45:02.000 Sending our own military contractors and mercenaries into Ukraine, giving them strategic advice from NATO officers, giving them armor, giving them artillery, giving them ammunition.
00:45:17.000 And this has been going on now for over a year.
00:45:21.000 And again, the United States knows that Ukraine can't win.
00:45:26.000 What they do know is that if they continue to support Ukraine materially like this, Russia will just suffer more losses.
00:45:33.000 It will put more pressure on the Russian state.
00:45:37.000 And it will be more costly for them when they eventually win.
00:45:40.000 They'll win with a little bit less territory, and it'll cost them a lot more and take them a lot longer.
00:45:47.000 That's all they're playing for here.
00:45:51.000 And what's this really about?
00:45:53.000 It's about the fact that they refuse to recognize Russia's legitimate strategic interest, which is that Russia... Russia does not want to rebuild the Soviet Union.
00:46:02.000 They don't want to march to Berlin.
00:46:04.000 They're not trying to invade all of Europe, like was the concern after World War II.
00:46:10.000 Russia said, Ukraine and Georgia, that's our request.
00:46:14.000 And the United States said, no.
00:46:17.000 No, we want the Black Sea.
00:46:18.000 We want the Caucasus.
00:46:19.000 We want Ukraine.
00:46:24.000 And Putin pushed back.
00:46:26.000 And Washington said, nope, you know, we're not going to budge.
00:46:28.000 We're not going to negotiate.
00:46:29.000 We're not going to budge.
00:46:30.000 And just kept escalating.
00:46:33.000 Until now.
00:46:33.000 And Russia said, well, we're going to do the one thing you won't do, which is we'll just go to war.
00:46:38.000 And Russia knew the United States wouldn't go to war with Russia because Ukraine's not a NATO.
00:46:42.000 So they sort of called their bluff.
00:46:45.000 And the United States said, well, you can take Ukraine from our cold, dead hands.
00:46:49.000 We'll do everything short of going to war to stop you, to make it more costly, and to put maximum pressure.
00:46:58.000 And they put Russia in this impossible situation, where either Russia accepts NATO on their doorstep, and NATO controlling the Black Sea, or Russia has to invade.
00:47:06.000 In which case, Russia has to win.
00:47:08.000 Because if Russia invades and loses, well, the people are going to overthrow Putin.
00:47:14.000 Because now Russia's been subjected to this extremely costly war that has killed lots of Russians and that has been very injurious to their economy and to global trade.
00:47:25.000 And so Putin can't go back to the people after two years of warfare and say, sorry guys, we lost to a very small country with a military the fraction of the size of ours.
00:47:37.000 So they force Putin into a situation where it's unacceptable for NATO to be there.
00:47:43.000 But if he invades, he has to win.
00:47:45.000 But they're also making it impossible for him to win.
00:47:48.000 Even though he's gonna win, they just want to make it as bloody and painful as possible in the hopes that the people will overthrow Putin.
00:47:56.000 Because they know they can't defeat him on the battlefield, so they say, we'll defeat him at home.
00:48:02.000 Well, now we're seeing the fruits of this policy.
00:48:05.000 We're seeing the fruits of a sustained 33-year policy
00:48:12.000 To antagonize and provoke Russia in pursuit of global domination.
00:48:16.000 That's what it's about.
00:48:17.000 The United States couldn't be satisfied with Western Europe, and all of Eastern Europe, and the Middle East.
00:48:25.000 They had to have Ukraine too.
00:48:29.000 Even though it's totally unreasonable, even though it's totally ahistorical, and they refused to negotiate, they said, we have to have Ukraine too.
00:48:38.000 We have to have a dagger at the throat of Moscow.
00:48:43.000 Because we have to.
00:48:44.000 There can be no other superpowers, and there can be no other superpowers with legitimate interests.
00:48:51.000 And they decry Putin.
00:48:52.000 They say he's a war criminal.
00:48:54.000 A war in the 21st century?
00:48:58.000 At the same time that they're calling for war in Cuba because China has a spying capability there.
00:49:05.000 Do you see the hypocrisy?
00:49:07.000 Putin goes to war in Ukraine because NATO has been knocking at the doorstep with missiles and bases and training exercises for 30 years.
00:49:18.000 And that's been part of Russia for hundreds of years.
00:49:22.000 That would be like if Texas voted to join Russia.
00:49:26.000 Would we be like, well, that's what Texas said.
00:49:29.000 Whoop-dee-doo.
00:49:32.000 And when Russia does this, they say it's a war crime.
00:49:34.000 It's a humanitarian disaster.
00:49:36.000 A war in the 21st century?
00:49:38.000 Meanwhile, we're talking about invading Cuba because China has spies there.
00:49:44.000 And meanwhile, we're conducting
00:49:47.000 Covert operations and espionage in all these countries overthrowing their governments.
00:49:52.000 So wait a second.
00:49:53.000 We can do a coup in Ukraine?
00:49:56.000 Two of them?
00:49:57.000 We can do a coup in Ukraine in 2006 and 2014?
00:50:00.000 Thousands of miles away?
00:50:02.000 And that's fine.
00:50:04.000 But Russia invading a state on its border to prevent NATO from being there?
00:50:08.000 That's barbaric?
00:50:11.000 So we could do a coup in Ukraine.
00:50:12.000 We could do a coup in Kazakhstan.
00:50:14.000 We could do a coup in Georgia.
00:50:16.000 And throughout the Middle East and throughout the former Soviet Union, that's fine.
00:50:22.000 You know, because when you overthrow a government with spies and student groups and feminists and the State Department, you know, well that's classy.
00:50:30.000 When you go to war with the military, that's barbarism.
00:50:33.000 Oh, okay.
00:50:37.000 So this sustained policy for 30 years to integrate Ukraine into NATO is what has led to this moment.
00:50:45.000 They wanted Ukraine, they pushed, they pushed, they pushed.
00:50:49.000 In 2014, they overthrow the Ukrainian government and Russia pushes back and says, nope!
00:50:55.000 But the United States couldn't take the hint.
00:50:58.000 They said, okay, you know, you won this round.
00:51:01.000 We'll just keep giving Ukraine, well, we'll start with the freeze-dried hamburgers and blankets.
00:51:06.000 Now we're going to give them drones.
00:51:07.000 Now we're going to put our missiles there.
00:51:09.000 Now we're going to move our military to Poland.
00:51:12.000 Now we're going to do exercises in the Baltics.
00:51:17.000 And Putin says, you know, okay, last chance.
00:51:21.000 You can't, you know, I'm not going to allow this.
00:51:23.000 Ukraine is never going to join NATO.
00:51:25.000 And the United States says, really?
00:51:26.000 What if Ukraine got a bomb?
00:51:28.000 What if they got a nuke?
00:51:30.000 And Putin says, okay, enough.
00:51:31.000 He goes in.
00:51:34.000 Which is, which is honestly fair.
00:51:38.000 And instead of the United States once again saying, all right, you know, what are we going to do?
00:51:43.000 What are we gonna do?
00:51:43.000 Go to war with Russia?
00:51:44.000 They go, yeah, we are.
00:51:46.000 We're gonna go to war with Russia, not directly, but just enough that we, like, destroy their country.
00:51:52.000 And now they, okay, mission accomplished.
00:51:54.000 Now you've destroyed their country.
00:51:57.000 Putin has been forced into a war that he can't lose, but you've made it impossible for him to win.
00:52:04.000 And so now the military's breaking down, and the society's breaking down,
00:52:09.000 And this collapse in the military is going to cause an uprising across these Russian provinces and allies.
00:52:17.000 And not only that, but Ukraine's going to break through, and the war's going to be lost, and the government will be overthrown, and now thousands of nukes are going to fall into the hands of some maniac or someone else we don't even know.
00:52:31.000 And is that good for anybody?
00:52:32.000 Like, is that good for Europe?
00:52:34.000 Is that good for the United States?
00:52:38.000 We could have maintained the status quo in Ukraine and it would have been fine.
00:52:42.000 If we had never overthrown the Ukrainian government, if we just let it be a puppet state like Belarus, it would have been fine.
00:52:49.000 If we had just maintained that, we could have maintained that forever and it would have been fine.
00:52:55.000 We could have.
00:52:58.000 Is that really a big problem for anybody?
00:52:58.000 Look at Belarus.
00:53:05.000 Now, Brazil is rejecting the dollar.
00:53:08.000 India is rejecting the dollar.
00:53:10.000 Egypt and Saudi Arabia are now working with Russia.
00:53:13.000 China and Russia are in an eternal alliance.
00:53:20.000 Nord Stream 2 is gone.
00:53:21.000 So Germany has bet all its money on this green energy and so they already had energy problems.
00:53:28.000 Now they don't have natural gas.
00:53:30.000 Same thing with the United Kingdom.
00:53:31.000 They're decommissioning nuclear plants and they lost the pipeline.
00:53:35.000 So, we're just in a load of trouble and it's because the United States was never willing to entertain the idea that we would conduct a sensible foreign policy that took American interests into consideration.
00:53:48.000 It's always about more.
00:53:52.000 Instead of working with Russia, alongside Russia, or China, or any of these countries for that matter, they had to be colonies.
00:53:59.000 They had to be puppets.
00:54:03.000 The United States is at war with the whole world now.
00:54:08.000 So, it's an abject disaster on every front.
00:54:12.000 And you can thank the Jews running our foreign policy for that.
00:54:16.000 But that's what's going on.
00:54:17.000 We'll see.
00:54:18.000 It's a very bleak situation.
00:54:20.000 It's very serious.
00:54:21.000 I know it's not a very funny show, but you know, what's a punchline?
00:54:30.000 And at the end of the day, you know, you don't have to like Russia to recognize that Russia will always exist.
00:54:37.000 Russia isn't going anywhere.
00:54:40.000 China isn't going anywhere.
00:54:41.000 What do we think is going to happen?
00:54:43.000 We have this foreign policy like we're going to destroy our enemies.
00:54:50.000 Unless you're planning on killing them all, unless you're planning on nuking them, we're going to have to work with China.
00:54:56.000 They've been around for thousands of years.
00:54:58.000 They've been around for 5,000 years and they're not going anywhere.
00:55:03.000 They have been a world power, and for most of that time, THE world power.
00:55:08.000 For 5,000 years, they have been THE greatest power on Earth.
00:55:13.000 It's only been the exception for the last 5 centuries when they weren't.
00:55:18.000 And we're conducting this like...
00:55:22.000 Total war against China.
00:55:24.000 Accusing them of war crimes and all this stuff.
00:55:27.000 Same thing with Russia.
00:55:28.000 Russia's been around for a thousand years.
00:55:31.000 Ukraine has been around as part of Russia for a third of that time.
00:55:38.000 Again, what's the goal?
00:55:41.000 You want to destroy the Russian state?
00:55:43.000 Why?
00:55:44.000 So that gay people in Russia can get married?
00:55:50.000 They've been the way they are for thousands of years.
00:55:53.000 That's how it is over there.
00:55:55.000 We need them to accept liberalism.
00:55:57.000 We need them to accept domination by American crony capitalists.
00:56:01.000 I mean, what is it?
00:56:03.000 These countries are not going away.
00:56:05.000 We're not going to destroy them.
00:56:07.000 We're reaching a point where we can no longer dominate them.
00:56:12.000 The gap between the United States and the next most powerful country is closing.
00:56:18.000 The gap between the United States and every other country is gone.
00:56:23.000 So the era of America calling the shots and being unchallenged by anybody is over.
00:56:29.000 But they're hanging on to it.
00:56:33.000 It wasn't like that.
00:56:34.000 I mean, this is completely ahistorical that one country would be so powerful.
00:56:39.000 And as a result of that, because it was an anomaly, it was never going to last.
00:56:45.000 Russia had a cataclysmic decline due to the collapse of the Soviet government, but invariably they would have rose again.
00:56:53.000 And the same is true of China.
00:56:56.000 China was set back because they never explored the world like Europe did.
00:57:00.000 They destroyed their ships.
00:57:01.000 They stopped inventing new ships.
00:57:04.000 Because they said, we don't need the rest of the world, and so they fell behind for five centuries, but now they're catching up.
00:57:09.000 And, you know, so once again, we're not going to get rid of these people.
00:57:13.000 China and Russia are returning to their position in the world, to their expected, commensurate, relative position in the world.
00:57:28.000 But the United States doesn't want to allow that.
00:57:29.000 We think we can control everything.
00:57:31.000 So we say no.
00:57:33.000 Okay, well, you know, now Russia's gonna collapse.
00:57:36.000 And then what?
00:57:39.000 Oh, I guess we made the world safer for democracy somehow.
00:57:44.000 So anyway, so that's that.
00:57:45.000 I want to move on.
00:57:46.000 I want to get into the Super Chats.
00:57:47.000 Let's see what you guys are saying about all this.
00:57:50.000 Like I said, we'll continue this coverage next week.
00:57:53.000 Maybe I'll do a stream over the weekend if there's something good, but that's where we're at.
00:57:58.000 This is a total disaster.
00:57:59.000 And this is again, by the way, is the last thing I'll say, it's the same foreign policy that brought you Iraq, Libya, Syria,
00:58:09.000 It's the same story.
00:58:10.000 Oh, I know.
00:58:11.000 Let's blow up the government in Iraq.
00:58:14.000 What could go wrong?
00:58:16.000 Let's blow up the government in Libya.
00:58:17.000 Let's blow up the government in Syria.
00:58:19.000 Let's blow up the government in Yemen.
00:58:21.000 What could go wrong?
00:58:24.000 I don't like Gaddafi.
00:58:27.000 And now it's a failed state.
00:58:29.000 Now it's been a terrorist nation for 10 years, 12 years.
00:58:32.000 And it has opened the floodgates of blacks to move through into Europe.
00:58:40.000 Same thing with Syria.
00:58:42.000 We don't like Assad.
00:58:43.000 He's not democratic enough and he's allowing Iran to get a foothold against Israel and supply Hezbollah in Lebanon.
00:58:49.000 Let's take him out.
00:58:51.000 You get a 10-year civil war and millions of refugees pour into Europe.
00:58:57.000 And millions of people, hundreds of thousands of people die.
00:59:00.000 It's a total catastrophe.
00:59:03.000 Creates a power vacuum in the region.
00:59:08.000 You know, it just goes on and on and on.
00:59:10.000 And here's the latest one.
00:59:11.000 Now Russia.
00:59:12.000 Now we're going to push Russia down.
00:59:16.000 The world is better with Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, Bashar al-Assad, and Vladimir Putin.
00:59:23.000 It's better with them in it.
00:59:25.000 It's better.
00:59:25.000 It's more stable.
00:59:26.000 It's safer.
00:59:28.000 And if you work with them, we could improve things.
00:59:35.000 But that's just it.
00:59:37.000 That's the thing.
00:59:38.000 That's the condition that the United States will not accept.
00:59:41.000 They don't want to work with anybody.
00:59:46.000 They don't want partners.
00:59:50.000 They want vassals.
00:59:51.000 That's the problem.
00:59:54.000 And it's in there.
00:59:58.000 If you work with them.
00:59:59.000 But that's the condition they refuse to accept.
01:00:02.000 They don't want to work with anybody.
01:00:05.000 Anyway, so that's that.
01:00:06.000 But I want to move on.
01:00:07.000 We'll get into our Super Chats.
01:00:08.000 We'll see what you guys are saying about all this.
01:00:10.000 Big developments.
01:00:12.000 Exciting stuff.
01:00:16.000 But dangerous.
01:00:22.000 But I hope I explained it well for you guys.
01:00:24.000 Let's see what we got here.
01:00:31.000 No, there's not going to be a face-off.
01:00:33.000 A Mormon will never become president.
01:00:35.000 Well, we just talked about it.
01:00:35.000 We can't allow that.
01:00:55.000 What is wrong with you?
01:00:56.000 What are you, some kind of black guy?
01:00:58.000 What are you, some kind of Mexican?
01:00:59.000 You're gonna go to my event that I'm paying for
01:01:22.000 We're already selling merch and you're going to sell your merch of our intellectual property?
01:01:31.000 That's like when you go to a concert and you see these people, you see these black people outside the venue
01:01:39.000 $5!
01:01:40.000 I got a $20 shirt out here!
01:01:40.000 $20!
01:01:42.000 You know, you see these people, you go to like Disney World and you see these people outside the gate selling bootleg Disney merch.
01:01:48.000 No, you can't fucking do that!
01:01:49.000 What's wrong with you?
01:01:51.000 Figured I'd get great, might as well shoot my shot.
01:01:53.000 What the fuck would you think I'm gonna say?
01:01:56.000 What's wrong with you?
01:01:57.000 What are you, an idiot?
01:01:59.000 Yeah, be my guest.
01:02:00.000 Come profit off of my investment.
01:02:03.000 I'm paying for the rally.
01:02:04.000 I'm bringing everybody out.
01:02:06.000 I want them to spend their money buying your shit.
01:02:09.000 Yeah, you just go print out some stupid fucking t-shirt and you make money.
01:02:13.000 Yeah, all you gotta do is show up and make a quick buck.
01:02:18.000 What's wrong with you?
01:02:19.000 What are you, Jew?
01:02:19.000 What are you, black?
01:02:22.000 What the hell's the matter with you?
01:02:24.000 Just go print out some... Sheesh.
01:02:30.000 Unbelievable.
01:02:35.000 Yeah, that's just unbelievable.
01:02:40.000 Are you coming?
01:02:41.000 What's your ticket number?
01:02:42.000 I'd like to ban you.
01:02:44.000 I'd like to ban your ass.
01:02:47.000 Can I sell your merch at your rally?
01:02:50.000 Now, how would that make any sense to you?
01:02:53.000 You're like one of these black kids that runs into a restaurant
01:02:57.000 And start selling world's famous fucking chocolate bars.
01:03:00.000 You know, it's like I'm sitting there eating at a restaurant and you get some little black kid, you know, they're selling it for their basketball uniforms.
01:03:07.000 Oh, really?
01:03:08.000 It's for our basketball team, is it?
01:03:16.000 That's crazy that you would ask that.
01:03:19.000 Yeah, I'm paying tens of thousands of dollars for this rally.
01:03:25.000 I'm bringing people out here.
01:03:28.000 I'm paying for the venue.
01:03:29.000 I'm paying for the event.
01:03:33.000 You want to come and put my likeness on a shirt and set up a little fucking table outside and sell it?
01:03:40.000 What's wrong with you?
01:03:43.000 How does that make any sense to you?
01:03:44.000 Does that seem right to you?
01:03:48.000 Can you go to a restaurant and sell your own booze?
01:03:51.000 Can you go into a McDonald's and sell your own hamburgers?
01:03:55.000 I mean, just use your head!
01:03:57.000 Wow.
01:04:01.000 I don't know, maybe you're a young kid.
01:04:03.000 If you're a young kid, I apologize, but that's not how it works, okay?
01:04:06.000 If you're a young kid, I apologize, but I don't know, if you're over the age of like 18, you gotta know better, man.
01:04:12.000 What are you, black?
01:04:15.000 Geez.
01:04:17.000 These vendors, these fucking vendors, slinging their trash in the streets.
01:04:22.000 It's everywhere.
01:04:23.000 It's even here now.
01:04:24.000 It's even here.
01:04:26.000 Not enough that it's all over America.
01:04:27.000 It's going to be at an America First rally.
01:04:30.000 Unbelievable.
01:04:36.000 Can I sell my... I'm not reselling your intellectual property.
01:04:41.000 Well then why is it AF merch?
01:04:43.000 How is it AF merch if you're not selling my IP?
01:04:46.000 I'm not reselling your apparel.
01:04:48.000 Then it's fine.
01:04:48.000 Oh really?
01:04:49.000 The hell's the matter with you, man?
01:04:54.000 Might as well shoot my shot, CAC.
01:04:56.000 What are you laughing at?
01:04:56.000 Nervous laughter.
01:04:58.000 Not funny.
01:04:58.000 It's a little funny.
01:05:00.000 Boss Lurker sent $20.
01:05:01.000 Thanks.
01:05:05.000 Boss Lurker sent $10.
01:05:07.000 If you stayed away from the most controversial topics, you could f-far be the number one billionaire TV guy.
01:05:12.000 Can you talk about your decision to tell the truth?
01:05:15.000 Thank you, thank you for everything.
01:05:18.000 True.
01:05:20.000 Uh, well, I don't know that I have really made a decision.
01:05:24.000 I just don't want to be bossed around, you know?
01:05:27.000 Like, why would I... I could do all that, but then I'd just be somebody's bitch, and I will never be somebody's bitch.
01:05:34.000 That's the thing.
01:05:35.000 Like, all these people are perfectly okay just lying all the time and, like, apologizing.
01:05:42.000 Like, they live on their knees.
01:05:46.000 And I don't mean to sound like some tough guy, but that's what it is.
01:05:50.000 I mean, I recognized very early on that, you know, I could just shut up and I could be like, oh, you're not supposed to say that.
01:06:02.000 But I just can't live like that.
01:06:04.000 Like, I just simply cannot live like that.
01:06:06.000 I know myself.
01:06:08.000 I know myself well enough to know that I could never live like that.
01:06:14.000 The groveling, apologizing, the lying.
01:06:17.000 I couldn't do it.
01:06:21.000 And yeah, people might say, well, you've created a ceiling for yourself, you'll never be mainstream, you'll never go to these parties, you'll never be as rich as me, you know, but I would much rather
01:06:35.000 I would much rather be outside the club, but be independent, than be inside the club, but it's dependent on sucking some Jew's dick.
01:06:45.000 I mean, not to be vulgar, but seriously.
01:06:48.000 Because that's what it is.
01:06:50.000 And you know that.
01:06:52.000 You know, I see like Doyle.
01:06:53.000 Doyle's got to sit there with this IDF soldier.
01:06:57.000 And tell them, like, oh, I'm not going to talk about Israel so I don't get banned.
01:07:01.000 If you talk about it in a nice way, you won't get banned.
01:07:05.000 If I'm too aggressive, they'll ban me, so I'm a good little guy.
01:07:09.000 What I've learned is that if you're too aggressive, they don't like that.
01:07:12.000 If you say things like this, they don't like that.
01:07:15.000 So I do what they like, like a good boy.
01:07:18.000 And it's like I could never do that.
01:07:20.000 Like, I could never do that.
01:07:23.000 I do what I want.
01:07:24.000 I say what I want.
01:07:25.000 It gets me in trouble.
01:07:26.000 It creates a lot of problems for me.
01:07:29.000 Some say it limits my opportunities.
01:07:32.000 I don't really care.
01:07:34.000 Because, uh...
01:07:36.000 You know, there's being strategic, and there's compromise, and then there's being compromised.
01:07:41.000 And I just... I will not be compromised.
01:07:44.000 In the future, this will change a little bit, but at least when I started... You know, people look at it now and they go, why did you do that?
01:07:51.000 Why are you like this?
01:07:53.000 But they don't realize that six years ago was different.
01:07:56.000 Six years ago, you couldn't say fucking anything.
01:07:59.000 You couldn't talk about anything.
01:08:02.000 These days, even Crowder will say they have Jewish last names.
01:08:06.000 Alex Jones will say it just looks like they're all Jews.
01:08:10.000 You know, there are some in Congress who will say we've got to cancel foreign aid.
01:08:15.000 And you've got people talking about anti-white and you've got Scott Adams saying I don't want to live near black people.
01:08:20.000 It's a different time.
01:08:22.000 Seven, eight years ago, you couldn't say anything.
01:08:26.000 And I was on the front on all these issues.
01:08:30.000 And whatever, you know, some people give me credit, some people don't.
01:08:34.000 But somebody had to say it first.
01:08:36.000 Somebody had to take the bullets.
01:08:38.000 Somebody had to be the sponge for all the attacks.
01:08:41.000 You know, somebody had to be first.
01:08:44.000 Now everybody's bandwagoning.
01:08:46.000 Now that people look around like a wave, like a domino, they gradually realize, you know, they look to their right, they look to their left, and they see other people are okay with it.
01:08:56.000 And, you know, one becomes two, and two becomes four, and four becomes sixteen, and sixteen becomes a thousand, and a thousand becomes a million, you know.
01:09:05.000 And so gradually people are becoming more hip, and they're waking up to this stuff, but somebody had to say it first, and like these ideas, I played a not insignificant role in making these things accepted behind the scenes.
01:09:18.000 Like a lot of people literally just got red-pilled by talking to me, and people that watch my show,
01:09:24.000 The Gruyper army really penetrated the right and red-pilled at the source.
01:09:30.000 Lookin' like Elijah Schaffer.
01:09:32.000 I don't mean to take credit for him, but you remember my relationship with Elijah.
01:09:36.000 It wasn't great.
01:09:38.000 But people that loved me had been red-pilling him for like five years.
01:09:44.000 And you see the stuff he says now, and it's like, okay.
01:09:47.000 And the same goes across the board, man.
01:09:49.000 The conversation has changed.
01:09:54.000 So, you know, not only is it effective, but also it's like I refuse to be compromised, which was a very hard-line stance, you know?
01:10:04.000 Sometimes you can make a compromise without being compromised.
01:10:08.000 This wasn't the case eight years ago.
01:10:10.000 You could not work within the system without fundamentally being compromised.
01:10:15.000 Now, I don't think it's the same way anymore.
01:10:17.000 I think it's a little different now, but it used to be so bad.
01:10:22.000 It is still bad, but
01:10:24.000 It's, uh, you know, they're definitely having to retreat on some key things.
01:10:30.000 So... So that's why.
01:10:33.000 I never really... I just could never live like that.
01:10:36.000 It's just not in my nature.
01:10:38.000 I'm rebellious.
01:10:40.000 I'm... I have the blood of just, like, outlaws.
01:10:43.000 Like, it's literally genetic.
01:10:45.000 You know, if my ancestors were bureaucrats and pencil pushers and professionals, maybe I would, you know, maybe I'd be respectable and I'd get my degree.
01:10:55.000 You know, my parents want me to get a degree.
01:10:59.000 And, you know, my parents at our summer home, they would be so disappointed in me if I didn't, you know, whatever.
01:11:07.000 Because class is very much still alive.
01:11:09.000 And it's alive because genetics are real.
01:11:12.000 My ancestors were all criminals and outlaws.
01:11:14.000 And I love them!
01:11:15.000 I love them!
01:11:15.000 I don't say that in a bad way, but it's literally in my DNA.
01:11:21.000 My ancestors were in the Mexican Revolution with Pancho Villa.
01:11:26.000 They were associated with the Chicago Outfit.
01:11:28.000 They robbed banks.
01:11:32.000 You know, so...
01:11:34.000 A lot of them were on drugs, crack, heroin.
01:11:38.000 They got in fights.
01:11:40.000 So, you know, my whole family was just like renegades and outlaws and revolution... criminals.
01:11:49.000 Actually criminals.
01:11:51.000 You know, it sounds like I'm idealizing when I say outlaws.
01:11:53.000 They're criminals.
01:11:56.000 Now I've got that same rambunctious Rebellious spirit that's unironically why I'm the tip of the spear because you have a lot of these guys that are maybe smarter than me Or maybe they're more higher IQ than me Better more well-spoken something like that But but I'm the tip of the spear cuz I'm a fucking fighter, okay, I'm a fighter I'm a rebel Like I'd have that engine
01:12:23.000 I've got that InGen-like maniac DNA that these other people simply don't have.
01:12:23.000 DNA.
01:12:29.000 They literally don't have the DNA.
01:12:32.000 The government tells them, you're in a timeout!
01:12:36.000 The Holocaust is real!
01:12:37.000 18 is the age of consent!
01:12:41.000 You know, and these pussies, these over-socialized pussies go, Yes, sir.
01:12:48.000 Oh, it's unthinkable.
01:12:50.000 Hey, you see the game last night?
01:12:54.000 And I'm the descendant of eccentric geniuses and criminals and revolutionaries and just psychos, like actual just maniac psychos.
01:13:10.000 And I just don't, that's just not in my vocabulary.
01:13:16.000 If I wasn't doing this, I would just be some criminal.
01:13:19.000 I would literally just be some criminal.
01:13:21.000 If I wasn't doing this, I would just be some criminal somewhere.
01:13:27.000 I'd be embezzling money from the government, or I'd be a drug dealer, or a serial killer, or something like that.
01:13:38.000 You know, homie doesn't follow the rules.
01:13:41.000 I don't follow the rules!
01:13:42.000 That's why I'm opposed by the whole society.
01:13:46.000 I'm not a rule follower.
01:13:47.000 So, you need guys like me.
01:13:49.000 I'm like a berserker.
01:13:51.000 I break the front line.
01:13:52.000 I'm the battering ram.
01:13:54.000 I break down the front door like the SWAT team, like Ye said.
01:13:57.000 You know, and then Keith Woods comes in behind me with the video.
01:14:04.000 I come in there like, it's the Jews, you know.
01:14:06.000 I break down the door, smoke grenade.
01:14:12.000 I jump over the defensive fortification.
01:14:15.000 Last one in's a rotten egg!
01:14:19.000 You know, and then Keith Woods comes in.
01:14:21.000 He's the armor.
01:14:22.000 He's the fucking heavy.
01:14:23.000 He's the heavy tank.
01:14:26.000 You know, all these other people come in with a little more self-control, and they got the cannon.
01:14:31.000 Keith Wood's video catalog, you know, blows up a fucking building, kills all their cavalry, horses are exploding, horse guts exploding everywhere, guy flies off his horse.
01:14:46.000 You know?
01:14:47.000 But I'm the guy that breaks the front line.
01:14:50.000 I'm the... I'm the maniac that unpins the grenade and just starts running.
01:14:55.000 I am legend.
01:14:56.000 I'm Will Smith and I am legend.
01:14:58.000 I unpin the grenade and I jump at the barrier.
01:15:04.000 So, anyway.
01:15:08.000 That's me.
01:15:11.000 I say something cool, I jump in.
01:15:14.000 You know, and then these more disciplined, these people with self-control, these high IQ people that read books, you know, they come in with the heavy machinery, they build the systems, they build the institutions.
01:15:34.000 I'm the maniac.
01:15:38.000 So anyway... I'm the engine.
01:15:43.000 It's a good thing I'm Mexican.
01:15:44.000 I'm the engine.
01:15:45.000 I come in riding on my horse with the freaking tomahawk.
01:15:50.000 Collecting people's scalps.
01:15:51.000 I'm the one skinning all these people alive and setting them on fire.
01:15:54.000 And they're like, that's not ethical.
01:15:55.000 You can't do that.
01:15:56.000 And I'm like, listen, you want to win?
01:15:58.000 I'm cutting their balls off and feeding it to them.
01:16:01.000 They're like, hey, is that really, that's hypocritical.
01:16:05.000 And I'm like, listen, you want to win?
01:16:07.000 You want to win this for what?
01:16:12.000 People are going, serious movement by the way.
01:16:15.000 I'm chopping a girl's hair off.
01:16:16.000 Sorry, what'd you say?
01:16:17.000 I'm slicing her scalp off.
01:16:20.000 Wait, what?
01:16:22.000 I couldn't hear you.
01:16:22.000 I have InGen DNA.
01:16:28.000 It's just what it is.
01:16:31.000 InGen Joe lives on in me.
01:16:34.000 Through me.
01:16:36.000 The legend of InGen Joe... That was my grandfather.
01:16:43.000 Injun Joe, they called him.
01:16:45.000 And he was a maniac.
01:16:47.000 That's why they called him that.
01:16:48.000 Because he looked like an Indian, and he was a maniac.
01:16:55.000 So.
01:16:58.000 Anyway.
01:17:03.000 Where was I?
01:17:05.000 So that's that.
01:17:06.000 Millennial underscore grow I percent ten dollars.
01:17:09.000 A couple months ago on a stream, you mentioned briefly something about the genetic similarity of close friends resembling that of cousins, but the subject quickly changed.
01:17:18.000 Could you expand on that?
01:17:19.000 Yeah, there was a study... I saw this in Oon's review, I think.
01:17:25.000 Or maybe it was Substack, but it said that the average genetic similarity of lifetime best friends is comparable to a person's third cousin.
01:17:36.000 And the spouse was even closer, if I recall correctly.
01:17:39.000 I don't remember it verbatim, but that was the point.
01:17:41.000 We gotta get rid of the White House.
01:17:42.000 It's too small.
01:17:43.000 Too plain.
01:17:57.000 Cody Davis sent $20.
01:17:59.000 I got to talk with Dennis Prager during his show on the term Judeo-Christian and it went pretty well.
01:18:04.000 The video is on codydavis.substack.com.
01:18:08.000 Also, the goofy VoteMen political action committee is still chugging along at votemenpack.com.
01:18:13.000 So I guess, I take it you calmed down.
01:18:16.000 Because I remember the last time you were super chatting you had some sort of hysterical female tantrum about it.
01:18:23.000 Do you remember this guy?
01:18:24.000 Do you remember this asshole?
01:18:26.000 He was going, uh, you know, I started a PAC that supports only men voting, and I said, what a stupid idea, and he's throwing a... Ironically, just like a woman, he threw a big emotional temper tantrum.
01:18:37.000 It is not a bad idea.
01:18:41.000 And now you're self-promoting.
01:18:42.000 So I guess you had a chance to calm down.
01:18:44.000 Maybe it's not your period anymore.
01:18:46.000 You got a chance to calm down and collect yourself.
01:18:48.000 Now you've returned.
01:18:50.000 Oh, now you want to buy an ad on the show?
01:18:52.000 Really?
01:18:53.000 For your substack?
01:18:56.000 Unbelievable.
01:18:57.000 I bet it sucks.
01:18:58.000 I bet your, I bet your commentary on PragerU sucks.
01:19:02.000 If it's anything like your other stupid idea.
01:19:07.000 Where's my apology?
01:19:08.000 Where's my apology?
01:19:09.000 I feel, now I feel bad.
01:19:11.000 Now I feel bad.
01:19:12.000 Cody Davis sent $5.
01:19:14.000 It's also my birthday today.
01:19:15.000 Happy birthday.
01:19:15.000 I'm a terrible person.
01:19:17.000 You can give me a present by subscribing to my sub stack.
01:19:20.000 You know what?
01:19:20.000 There's an article on there about this conflict in Ukraine that is still very relevant.
01:19:25.000 Listen, you know what?
01:19:26.000 Because it's your birthday, I'm not gonna demand an apology.
01:19:30.000 Because it's your birthday, I'll let it go.
01:19:30.000 Okay?
01:19:35.000 And I'll say, you know what?
01:19:36.000 Happy birthday.
01:19:38.000 Hope it's a good one.
01:19:39.000 Okay?
01:19:40.000 You don't need to apologize.
01:19:42.000 We can just let it go.
01:19:43.000 That's your birthday present, alright?
01:19:45.000 Your birthday present is I'll let it go.
01:19:47.000 I will not attack you over that.
01:19:51.000 And I won't require an apology, okay?
01:19:54.000 Because I was about to say I demand an apology from you, but... I didn't mean to attack- I didn't know it was your birthday, okay?
01:20:01.000 I'm sorry I attacked you on your birthday.
01:20:03.000 That wasn't very nice.
01:20:04.000 If I knew it was your birthday, I wouldn't have said all that.
01:20:10.000 But it's hard.
01:20:11.000 I don't know if I can really unring that bell.
01:20:13.000 I don't know if I can really walk that one back.
01:20:18.000 Hey, nothing personal.
01:20:20.000 Nothing personal.
01:20:22.000 But hey, listen.
01:20:24.000 I didn't know it was your birthday.
01:20:25.000 Birthdays matter.
01:20:27.000 I didn't know.
01:20:29.000 If it was your birthday, I wouldn't have said that.
01:20:29.000 I'm sorry.
01:20:32.000 But happy birthday.
01:20:34.000 If it means anything, I hope it was good.
01:20:35.000 I forgive you.
01:20:38.000 Even though you didn't apologize, I forgive you.
01:20:41.000 That's your birthday present, okay?
01:20:48.000 Whoops!
01:20:50.000 Hey, you should have led with the birthday thing.
01:20:53.000 I mean, that's just common sense.
01:20:54.000 You should have led with the birthday thing.
01:20:56.000 Is that what you do?
01:20:57.000 I think everyone found that out like a year and a half ago.
01:20:57.000 Are you just hearing this?
01:20:59.000 Maybe you're one of the people that doesn't have one.
01:21:13.000 Yeah, disavow.
01:21:14.000 You're right about my jawline.
01:21:16.000 What did I do the other day?
01:21:19.000 You're right about my jawline, bud.
01:21:20.000 Disavow.
01:21:42.000 Tim Drake sent $10.
01:21:43.000 AF taking Mexico is like Alexander being made pharaoh.
01:21:47.000 The Mexicans will make you generalissimo and we will build a new city nice and opal with an Italian quarter.
01:21:53.000 We'll put crosses on all Aztec temples like the Vatican did to Egyptian obelisks.
01:21:57.000 God bless 07.
01:21:59.000 That went on a little bit too long, but I like the idea.
01:22:02.000 I appreciate it.
01:22:02.000 Thank you.
01:22:04.000 Little bit going into like a dead and dead territory.
01:22:09.000 Jim's tattoos sent $5 Nick is up against the global Jewish mafia and rampant simping and female worship put some respect on his name Nick that nigga Fuentes ism Christ is King
01:22:33.000 Why don't you just submit to Pope Francis or become a Protestant?

01:23:10.000 Great coverage, by the way.
01:23:11.000 I was watching Jimbo's stream today.
01:23:14.000 Everybody follow Jimbo on Cozy.
01:23:17.000 Great stream!
01:23:18.000 Very cozy.
01:23:20.000 I sort of switched off between Ethan Ralph and Jimbo, but he was doing a lot of great coverage of Russia today.
01:23:26.000 So, love you too, buddy.
01:23:29.000 Thanks.
01:23:30.000 Good show.
01:23:31.000 Good show today.
01:23:33.000 Great!

01:23:39.000 I like the music.
01:23:40.000 I like the aesthetic.
01:23:43.000 Great streamer.
01:23:45.000 Really, uh...
01:23:48.000 Underappreciated streamer, but he's a good one.
01:23:50.000 Oh, really?
01:23:50.000 Thanks a lot.
01:23:50.000 I don't believe that, even for a second.
01:23:51.000 I think if you believe that, you're incredibly naive.
01:24:17.000 That's true.
01:24:18.000 That's objectively true.
01:24:20.000 French Catholics sent $3.
01:24:22.000 Last year, the Times of Israel claimed that Prygoshin was of Jewish descent through his father, albeit with no source.
01:24:29.000 Does this have any pertinence to current developments in your opinion?
01:24:32.000 100%.
01:24:33.000 I immediately distrust him.
01:24:36.000 NotSorry sent $5.
01:24:38.000 Wagner took Rostov without resistance, but that doesn't necessarily mean those Russian forces were sympathetic to Wagner.
01:24:44.000 The stand-down orders could have been issued to avoid escalation.
01:24:48.000 Possible.
01:24:49.000 But it's also possible they stood down because they support him.
01:24:52.000 Hey, thanks a lot!
01:24:54.000 God bless!
01:24:55.000 A little e-girl action.
01:25:11.000 I love that she threw that in there to give herself some cover.
01:25:14.000 Hey, uh, just making dinner for my husband.
01:25:17.000 Oh, okay.
01:25:17.000 Check.
01:25:18.000 Trad check.
01:25:19.000 Checked.
01:25:21.000 Check.
01:25:22.000 Oh, don't worry, guys.
01:25:23.000 She's cool.
01:25:23.000 She's making dinner for her husband.
01:25:25.000 Just trad things.
01:25:27.000 Just trad girly things.
01:25:29.000 Don't worry about it.
01:25:31.000 No, but I appreciate it.
01:25:33.000 Thank you very much.
01:25:34.000 God bless.
01:25:35.000 Have fun with dinner.
01:25:36.000 I'm starving.
01:25:38.000 Can I get some dinner?
01:25:39.000 Can I get a little dinner?
01:25:40.000 Because I'm hungry.
01:25:41.000 I'm hungry.
01:25:43.000 Yeah, pray for Russia.
01:25:44.000 You like the mustache?
01:25:44.000 Thanks, Dad.
01:25:45.000 It's making a comeback.
01:25:45.000 I'll probably get rid of it soon.
01:25:57.000 Uh, yeah, and like every Jew ever.
01:25:59.000 It's called Every Jew Ever.
01:25:59.000 Hello?
01:26:14.000 Yeah, I think there's no scenario where they... I think it's very unlikely they win.
01:26:19.000 But the question is, will there be a civil war?
01:26:21.000 That's not...
01:26:33.000 Like I said throughout the show, it's unlikely that they'll win.
01:26:35.000 But the question is civil war or quick arrest?
01:26:39.000 I love all these corrections that come in.
01:26:40.000 It's like you don't listen during the show.
01:26:43.000 Well, it could also be this.
01:26:44.000 Yeah, okay.
01:26:45.000 I didn't say it had to be one thing.
01:26:47.000 I said it indicates that this might be a possibility.
01:26:50.000 And then people go, well, they'll probably lose.
01:26:54.000 I know I said there's either gonna be a civil war or there's gonna be
01:26:58.000 Uh, quick arrest, but thanks.
01:27:00.000 Yeah, hopefully so.
01:27:20.000 Prosciutto grow I percent three dollars.
01:27:22.000 Would you consider going on Blonde in the Belly of the Beast YouTube channel?
01:27:26.000 She is a big fan and is about as good as it gets as far as women go.
01:27:30.000 She's a mom now.
01:27:31.000 Am sick of Pearl.
01:27:33.000 Why are you watching that?
01:27:35.000 This guy is tuning into Blonde in the Belly of the Beast for her political content.
01:27:40.000 Hey Nick!
01:27:41.000 And reaching out on her behalf.
01:27:42.000 Hey Nick!
01:27:43.000 You should check out Blonde in the Belly of the Beast.
01:27:45.000 She's a big fan.
01:27:46.000 She's not like the others.
01:27:47.000 Like, who puts you up to this?
01:27:48.000 Are you her husband or something?
01:27:50.000 What's the matter with you?
01:27:51.000 What's the matter with you?
01:27:55.000 Bro is watching Blonde in the Belly of the Beast.
01:27:59.000 Hey guys, just another video.
01:28:03.000 What's her content like?
01:28:04.000 Let me take a look.
01:28:06.000 Jeez, fucking people.
01:28:12.000 Oh, brother.
01:28:16.000 Hey folks, I am Rebecca Blond in the belly of the beast.
01:28:20.000 Damn it, I was gonna say hi internet friends.
01:28:22.000 I screwed it up.
01:28:23.000 Hey internet friends.
01:28:25.000 Well, there she is.
01:28:26.000 She's saying it.
01:28:27.000 I have with me really graceful.
01:28:29.000 She's host of one of the best channels on YouTube.
01:28:33.000 She seems like a nice person.
01:28:35.000 She seems... I'm not hating on her.
01:28:37.000 I'm not hating on her.
01:28:40.000 But I just... I don't know why Kruipers are watching that.
01:28:46.000 Come on, prosciutto griper, really?
01:28:50.000 Like, that's just crazy to me that the super chat happened.
01:28:54.000 It'd be one thing if she reached out to me, you know, then I'd say maybe.
01:28:58.000 But some griper's like, hey Nick, you gotta check out Blood or the Belly of the Beast.
01:29:07.000 Bro is down bad.
01:29:09.000 Bro is down bad.
01:29:10.000 What do you want?
01:29:11.000 You want her to give you a shout-out?
01:29:14.000 Sick freak.
01:29:20.000 I love when guys say she's as good as it gets as far as women go.
01:29:25.000 She's as good as it gets as far as women go.
01:29:25.000 Shut the fuck up.
01:29:29.000 I love you buddy, thanks.
01:29:39.000 Good as he gets, as far as I can tell.
01:29:41.000 It's a big deal, bro.
01:29:58.000 Oh, I guess they didn't want you to go to Fuentes Rally.
01:30:00.000 Is that why?
01:30:18.000 Hustlin' Russian sent $3.
01:30:20.000 Moral of the story is I already bought a ticket to the rally and wanted to let you know maybe if someone else can go instead of me.
01:30:26.000 Anyways, love the show tonight.
01:30:28.000 Slava, Russia.
01:30:29.000 Aw, hey, well, I'm sorry, man.
01:30:31.000 That really sucks.
01:30:32.000 He thought he was gonna go.
01:30:33.000 He got his flight comped.
01:30:36.000 That sucks.
01:30:39.000 Yeah, well, why don't you reach out to our team?
01:30:41.000 We'll figure something out.
01:30:42.000 We'll give you a refund or something.
01:30:44.000 I'm sorry to hear that.
01:30:48.000 Yeah, why don't you get in touch with us?
01:30:50.000 We'll see what we can do.
01:30:51.000 Maybe we can work something out, but... I don't know that they did that deliberately.
01:30:57.000 I mean, maybe they just did run out of spots or something.
01:31:00.000 Who knows, but... Yeah, just reach out to our support and we'll take care of you.
01:31:06.000 ValleyZoomer sent $100.
01:31:08.000 I just got paid today less than three.
01:31:11.000 Whoa!
01:31:11.000 Thanks for the big super chat, ValleyZoomer.
01:31:13.000 He's back to redeem himself.
01:31:16.000 If I send $100 super chat, maybe he'll forget... Maybe he'll forget that rant on that Twitter space.
01:31:26.000 Well, I really appreciate the super chat.
01:31:28.000 Thank you very much.
01:31:29.000 Whoa!
01:31:29.000 Putin speaking!
01:31:30.000 Putin speaking!

01:31:52.000 Let's get some 07s in chat for ValleyZoomer.
01:31:55.000 I really appreciate the big super chat.
01:31:57.000 I'm just giving you a hard time about the Twitter space.
01:32:04.000 We're being interrupted by Breaking News.
01:32:06.000 Let's see if we can get the Putin speech.
01:32:08.000 Get some Zs and Russian flags in the chat.
01:32:10.000 Where is it?
01:32:12.000 I guess it's coming up.
01:32:13.000 Well, whenever it starts, let me know.
01:32:15.000 Send it to me.
01:32:18.000 I'll watch it live.
01:32:21.000 French Catholics sent $3.
01:32:23.000 Great show.
01:32:24.000 Informative, concise and thought-provoking.
01:32:27.000 Thank you, Nick.
01:32:28.000 Much love.
01:32:29.000 Hey, love you too, buddy.
01:32:29.000 O7.
01:32:31.000 Thank you.
01:32:32.000 Boogly Woogly sent $7.
01:32:33.000 So this basically a peaceful protest.
01:32:37.000 How long until the ModCup can give them what they want?
01:32:40.000 It's not like they're actually going to start shooting at each other.
01:32:40.000 Morning?
01:32:43.000 Oh, don't be so sure.
01:32:46.000 Harry Potter sent $5.
01:32:48.000 My buddy took this picture of us in college and it made me smile.
01:32:51.000 Great show.
01:32:52.000 Hope all is well.
01:32:53.000 I'm not opening your Imgur link.
01:32:55.000 Nice try.
01:32:56.000 Christopher sent $100.
01:32:59.000 This is for all the garbage superchats.
01:33:02.000 Hey, thanks a lot.
01:33:05.000 Doesn't make it worth it, but it helps.
01:33:07.000 I appreciate the big superchat, Christopher.
01:33:09.000 Big shoutout.
01:33:10.000 You know, you're not like the others.
01:33:11.000 You seem okay.
01:33:13.000 So thanks a lot, buddy.
01:33:14.000 I really appreciate it.
01:33:15.000 Oh, Savage, yo!
01:33:16.000 Big shout-out!
01:33:17.000 Thank you very much.

01:33:19.000 Thanks!
01:33:32.000 Protestant Growiper sent $5.
01:33:34.000 This Hunter Avalon stuff reminded me of when you reacted to that snide catty gay parody video of you.
01:33:39.000 This ass clown couldn't be bothered to steal the skyline without resizing it horribly.
01:33:43.000 Thick nuance.
01:33:45.000 Yeah, that was a good stream.
01:33:47.000 Good times.
01:33:48.000 Judge Red sent $10.
01:33:50.000 Who would win in a fight?
01:33:52.000 1,000 Irishmen or 1,000 Italians?
01:33:55.000 Oh, that's a tough one.
01:33:57.000 Italians, 100%.
01:33:59.000 No, I think you're wrong.
01:34:04.000 You probably just, you sound like some jilted Ukrainian or something.
01:34:15.000 It'd be a shame if your whole family got killed by Russia, I guess.
01:34:18.000 Look dude, you're wrong.
01:34:19.000 Russia's based, you're fucking cringe.
01:34:22.000 Ukraine, are you kidding me?
01:34:23.000 Ukraine literally banned the Orthodox Church, you retard.
01:34:28.000 Unreal.
01:34:30.000 Ghost of Mariupol sent $10.00.
01:34:31.000 Nikkimafigures.
01:34:33.000 God does not even work the system here.
01:34:36.000 MyBoyColby sent $20.00.
01:34:38.000 As a Canadian Catholic hoping to come to the States, thank you for everything you do.
01:34:42.000 Hey, thanks a lot, buddy.
01:34:44.000 I appreciate it.
01:34:45.000 Johnny Bravo sent $3.00.
01:34:48.000 Great show tonight, Nick.
01:34:49.000 Don't mind me asking, but are you and people like Gosar, Rogers, and even Vincent in good terms?
01:34:55.000 Haven't heard you mention them in months.
01:34:57.000 What a dumb question, yes.
01:35:01.000 That's actually kind of funny.
01:35:02.000 I hate Vosch though.
01:35:03.000 He's just like the worst human being alive.
01:35:03.000 I really hate Vosch.
01:35:05.000 Thanks!
01:35:30.000 Because they want to jerk off and have sex.
01:35:33.000 That's literally it.
01:35:33.000 They don't want to accept Christianity because it would restrict their
01:35:49.000 Real life, you know.
01:35:52.000 It's fun and easy to be into this weirdo theosophy stuff because it requires no real commitment.
01:35:58.000 You know, it's about as real as their political philosophy.
01:36:02.000 You got Lauren Southern having sex with blacks, Hunter Avalon getting cut by a black person, and it's like, in other words, your political philosophy costs you nothing.
01:36:12.000 Hardly anybody even takes their own political beliefs seriously.
01:36:16.000 Then they join up with these stupid religious stuff
01:36:19.000 And just like that, it's something that requires no real commitment.
01:36:23.000 It's not serious.
01:36:26.000 Because if you were actually religious, you know, you'd have to give up stuff and you'd have to take it seriously and transform your life.
01:36:34.000 But if you just believe in, like, I don't know, ancient aliens or the golden race or whatever, then you could just do whatever you want.
01:36:41.000 You could just do stuff that you feel like doing.
01:36:45.000 So, that's why.
01:36:47.000 And sent $10.
01:36:49.000 Sorry for the dumb super chat.
01:36:51.000 No I'm not a new log I still love AF, I just feel like a dumb goy.
01:36:55.000 If do van me though can I get a refund?
01:36:57.000 If do van me though?
01:36:59.000 What are you saying?
01:37:02.000 Johnny Bravo sent $3.
01:37:05.000 Don't take this the wrong way, but with a person as persecuted as you are, how will you be able to have and sustain a family, wife and children?
01:37:13.000 I have few theories, but I lack answers.
01:37:16.000 I'm just, I'm not even gonna respond to that before I lose my mind.
01:37:19.000 First of all, none of your business.
01:37:21.000 Second of all, I'm actually out here doing this so that other people can have families.
01:37:26.000 It's not my highest priority.
01:37:28.000 Wait a second, how are you gonna come?
01:37:29.000 How are you gonna have kids?
01:37:32.000 I don't know dude, you know, maybe I won't have kids.
01:37:35.000 I would very much like to, and I plan to,
01:37:39.000 And how I do that is really my business, but it's also not my priority.
01:37:44.000 My priority is to be a free and independent man, and if I can't have a wife and kids being a fucking free and independent man, then I'm not gonna have a wife and kids.
01:37:55.000 But I'll be able to, and that's because I have Riz.
01:37:59.000 And you are a fucking retard, and I hate you.
01:38:03.000 Insurgent Honor sent $5.
01:38:05.000 Cooking Tonight King.
01:38:06.000 Great show.
01:38:07.000 Thanks.
01:38:08.000 Dude, Johnny Bravo sucks.
01:38:10.000 Can we kill him as soon as possible?
01:38:12.000 Bob H. sent $3.
01:38:14.000 She's not like the other girls, Nick.
01:38:17.000 I don't know how people watch this show and then they report to me with this.
01:38:21.000 As good as girls go, she's about the best you could get.
01:38:26.000 How many times I've heard that?
01:38:29.000 Well, she's married as far as women go.
01:38:31.000 Bro, shut up.
01:38:35.000 Like, I'm sorry, but how are you watching, like, girls for political content?
01:38:39.000 I don't... Someone explain this to me, like, just walk me through that one.
01:38:45.000 You're sitting down watching long-form political content on YouTube and it's a woman?
01:38:50.000 It's some wife?
01:38:51.000 Like, what?
01:38:53.000 Sorry, but what?
01:38:54.000 And I know a lot of women.
01:38:55.000 Like, Michelle Malkin?
01:38:57.000 Okay.
01:38:59.000 Almost anybody else?
01:39:00.000 What?
01:39:01.000 Why?
01:39:04.000 I don't understand.
01:39:05.000 No.
01:39:05.000 No.
01:39:06.000 No.
01:39:06.000 Just all wrong.
01:39:06.000 You're all wrong.
01:39:07.000 It's all wrong.
01:39:08.000 Nope.
01:39:30.000 Hey, thanks a lot buddy.
01:39:31.000 God bless.
01:39:32.000 Let's go Z.
01:39:46.000 Hey, well, I'm sorry, brother.
01:39:54.000 I didn't know.
01:39:55.000 You should have said you were Mexican.
01:39:56.000 I wouldn't have went as hard on you.
01:39:58.000 Listen, brother.
01:39:58.000 It's okay.
01:40:00.000 Just a misunderstanding.
01:40:01.000 Don't even worry about it.
01:40:06.000 Well, you should have said you were a kin.
01:40:07.000 You should have said you were a fellow Mexican.
01:40:09.000 I would have said, hey, no problem at all.
01:40:11.000 That's okay.
01:40:13.000 You know, when it comes to Mexicans, it's like, hey, you didn't know any better.
01:40:16.000 It's okay.
01:40:16.000 You're new here.
01:40:17.000 You don't know how it works.
01:40:19.000 You just got done picking strawberries.
01:40:22.000 Don't even worry about it.
01:40:23.000 It's fine.
01:40:25.000 God bless you, buddy.
01:40:25.000 I'll see you at the rally.
01:40:27.000 Groypchungus sent $50.
01:40:29.000 Thanks for always providing the best analysis and explanation for things as usual, the 1-2 weeks you were gone felt like an eternity even though Beardson really stepped up and delivered the content.
01:40:39.000 I can't wait for the rally, my birthday is a week earlier so it's gonna be my present this year.
01:40:44.000 Nice!
01:40:46.000 Well hey, thanks for the Super Chat, man.
01:40:47.000 I appreciate that.
01:40:49.000 Yeah, Beardson did step up.
01:40:51.000 Everybody stepped up.
01:40:52.000 I was watching a lot of the content.
01:40:54.000 I'm glad you liked the show and I'll see you there.
01:40:56.000 It's gonna be a great time.
01:40:58.000 Theophilus sent three dollars.
01:41:00.000 Right.
01:41:01.000 As far as Super Chatters go, Johnny Bravo is the best you can get.
01:41:04.000 He's just like... I don't know if he hates me or if he's just dumb, but like every question is just like
01:41:11.000 It's just setting me up for failure.
01:41:13.000 Every question is a curveball.
01:41:15.000 Hey, hate to ask, but are you even still cool with Vince James?
01:41:19.000 Yeah, I fucking talked to him today.
01:41:23.000 He's on the board of my non-profit.
01:41:25.000 What do you mean?
01:41:25.000 But it's like, it's like begging the question.
01:41:27.000 It's like, hey, everybody didn't abandon you, did they?
01:41:31.000 Why are you asking me that?
01:41:33.000 Like, don't you support me?
01:41:35.000 And then the next question, hey, don't take this the wrong way, but how are you gonna start a family?
01:41:39.000 I just don't know.
01:41:40.000 Like, what?
01:41:41.000 Why is that even your business?
01:41:42.000 Why are you thinking about my cum?
01:41:43.000 Why are you thinking about me and my balls?
01:41:46.000 Bro's like, how's Nick gonna get a wife to have sex with?
01:41:50.000 I don't know, dude.
01:41:51.000 Why are you even thinking about that?
01:41:56.000 With Mad Riz, dude, I'll find some hot young girl that I'll brainwash into my cult.
01:42:03.000 I'll find some 18-year-old zealot and, you know, she'll just be so in love with me because of my charisma that, you know, she's not even gonna care.
01:42:12.000 I'm just gonna find some psycho Catholic religious zealot.
01:42:16.000 I don't know.
01:42:16.000 I don't know what I'm gonna do.
01:42:17.000 I honestly don't know.
01:42:18.000 I've never had a girlfriend.
01:42:19.000 I've never went on a date.
01:42:21.000 But I have confidence in my riz that when I find the right woman, I'm gonna easily marry her.
01:42:29.000 I'll easily sail to marriage.
01:42:32.000 And it will be exactly as I want because I don't worry.
01:42:37.000 Because when I set my mind to things, I achieve them.
01:42:41.000 No matter what.
01:42:44.000 And when I don't, it's because it wasn't in the cards and God didn't intend on it.
01:42:50.000 That's my unironic answer.
01:42:51.000 Unironically, that is my answer.
01:42:53.000 I've never had a girlfriend and
01:42:58.000 You know, but I don't even see it as an obstacle because I'm rich, I'm handsome, I'm famous.
01:43:05.000 Like, you know, that's actually not going to be super difficult to find somebody.
01:43:09.000 I'm super charismatic, super charisma.
01:43:13.000 So I'm actually not... The thing that I'm worried about is just working myself up to it because I've never done it before.
01:43:19.000 I think once I'm there it'll happen very easily, but... My primary concern is if the Jews will kill them.
01:43:28.000 My primary concern is if I get married and have a kid, the Jews will kill them.
01:43:34.000 You know.
01:43:36.000 And that's the thing.
01:43:37.000 I mean, some people just aren't thinking about this stuff seriously.
01:43:40.000 They're like, what?
01:43:40.000 You're not going to have a wife and kids?
01:43:42.000 It's like, yeah, you know, sometimes you actually have to lay down your life for something in a meaningful way.
01:43:47.000 What?
01:43:48.000 You're not going to have a wife and kids in a big yard with a dog?
01:43:53.000 It's like, bro, we're in a political revolution in the heart of Rome, and you're like, worried about your wife?
01:43:59.000 Like... What if everybody else was worried about their wife?
01:44:05.000 We wouldn't have anything.
01:44:06.000 We wouldn't have anything great.
01:44:08.000 Hustlin' Russian sent $3.
01:44:10.000 Thanks, he'll do that.
01:44:11.000 The lady was telling me that all was taken care of and telling me to buy plane tickets.
01:44:16.000 The next day didn't answer my calls and texted me saying there were no spots.
01:44:19.000 Women lay.
01:44:21.000 Yes they do.
01:44:21.000 Like they breathe.
01:44:23.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:44:23.000 Why do you think?
01:44:23.000 You ask the question, genius.
01:44:24.000 Oh!
01:44:24.000 I wonder why!
01:44:26.000 Not because we're headed to a nuclear showdown with... I love when he puts all that in the fucking question.
01:44:52.000 I think this is legit.
01:44:55.000 Why do you think U.S.
01:44:55.000 ballistic missile submarines are loading out with tactical nuclear warheads for the first time since their testing?
01:45:03.000 I don't know.
01:45:03.000 I mean, you clearly have an idea.
01:45:05.000 You tell me.
01:45:06.000 Maybe because we're in the middle of a war with Russia.
01:45:08.000 I don't know.
01:45:09.000 What is this?
01:45:09.000 An interview?
01:45:10.000 I like to tell people, hey, ask me questions.
01:45:12.000 And then people pay to ask me questions and then I get mad.
01:45:14.000 Then I go, what is this?
01:45:34.000 Let me know what you think.
01:45:35.000 Hey, ask me a question in the Super Chats.
01:45:37.000 You know, people pay three bucks.
01:45:39.000 Hey, you know, do you think you're gonna do streams on Twitch?
01:45:42.000 I don't know.
01:45:42.000 What is this, a fucking interview?
01:45:46.000 Kinda.
01:45:48.000 Oh, looks like we have a speech.
01:45:49.000 Putin speech, Putin speech.
01:45:55.000 I appeal to the commanders and soldiers of the- Has it started yet?
01:46:01.000 We are warriors.

01:46:29.000 I mean, I guess we'll watch this speech.
01:46:33.000 We'll see what happens.
01:46:45.000 Ah, dude.
01:46:46.000 I am literally so hungry.
01:46:50.000 Alright.
01:46:54.000 Well, if we need to watch that, we'll watch that.
01:46:58.000 We're waiting on it here.
01:47:00.000 Okay.

01:47:03.000 What other... I'm so hungry, dude.
01:47:05.000 I gotta eat.
01:47:06.000 What do I... The Thorpe Family?

01:47:10.000 I don't know that channel.
01:47:22.000 Elizabeth sent $3.
01:47:23.000 Great show tonight, Nick.
01:47:25.000 God bless.
01:47:26.000 Thanks a lot.
01:47:27.000 God bless.
01:47:28.000 Polish underscore mail sent $3.
01:47:30.000 Are you at all concerned about thinking you have found the right one, but realizing later that she's not?
01:47:36.000 No, because I don't believe in that.
01:47:38.000 KoreaFud sent $3.
01:47:40.000 It's like a car.
01:47:40.000 It's like a house.
01:47:43.000 You know, the right one.
01:47:45.000 What does it even mean, you know?
01:47:50.000 Have you found the right one?
01:47:51.000 I don't know.
01:47:53.000 I think she's the one.
01:47:54.000 Like, you're a girl.
01:47:56.000 You're a man that's being written by a woman when you sound like that.
01:48:03.000 What if she's not the one?
01:48:04.000 Are you the one?
01:48:08.000 That's literally a female writing a male character.
01:48:12.000 That's dialogue written by a woman.
01:48:16.000 Bros, wait.
01:48:18.000 I think she's the one.
01:48:20.000 I gotta go.
01:48:20.000 I gotta go chase her.
01:48:24.000 Guys, she's not like the rest.
01:48:26.000 She's different.
01:48:27.000 She's one of the great ones.
01:48:29.000 I gotta go find her.
01:48:31.000 Guys, I just can't.
01:48:33.000 I'm sorry, but I gotta leave.
01:48:35.000 She's out there.
01:48:36.000 I gotta get her.
01:48:38.000 The fucking one.
01:48:39.000 Give me a break.
01:48:48.000 Unbelievable.
01:48:52.000 Everybody marries the one until they get divorced.
01:48:55.000 You know, half of them get divorced.
01:48:56.000 Guess she wasn't the one.
01:48:57.000 Guess you were wrong.
01:48:58.000 You know?
01:49:01.000 Was she the one?
01:49:06.000 I don't know.
01:49:08.000 Maybe I'll feel differently.
01:49:09.000 Maybe I'll fall in love.
01:49:10.000 Every woman wants that so badly.
01:49:12.000 They're like, I want to be the one that proved that he can love, you know, or something like that.
01:49:19.000 Maybe I'll feel differently once I get horny.
01:49:22.000 Once I get horny, then my brain will transform sex drive into, you know, this nonsense.
01:49:31.000 Because that's really all it is.
01:49:32.000 People look at a video of some slut in a trailer park like the other day.
01:49:36.000 Cutting up hot dogs and say, she looks really wholesome.
01:49:40.000 These are the kinds of mobs that raises troops that fought for the West.
01:49:45.000 You know, and then it turns out she's an OnlyFans whore.
01:49:48.000 And then they go, oh, guess I was wrong.
01:49:51.000 It's like, yeah.
01:49:52.000 Yeah, don't you feel like an idiot?
01:49:54.000 Or did she look like that?
01:49:55.000 Or was she, is she a hot slut?
01:49:58.000 I don't mean to sound callous, but this just happened on Twitter.
01:50:02.000 There was a video that went viral of some girl with her cleavage hanging out, cutting up hot dogs for her kids in a trailer park.
01:50:11.000 And all these right-wing guys are quote-tweeting it, saying, she looks so wholesome, she looks mature.
01:50:17.000 This is assault of the earth.
01:50:19.000 These are the kinds of mobs that raise the soldiers that settle the frontier.
01:50:23.000 And it turns out she's like on TikTok bragging about how many abortions she got and she's on OnlyFans showing her butthole.
01:50:30.000 And then all these fucking people are like, oh, well, either way, regardless.
01:50:38.000 So did she look wholesome and mature and all this or you just want to have sex with her and you projected that on?
01:50:38.000 It's like, really?
01:50:47.000 You saw a hot girl who was a slut and projected this picture onto her, a mirage.
01:50:53.000 I said on my telegram, a mirage generated by your balls.
01:50:59.000 Fellas, I think she's the one.
01:51:00.000 Look at the way she cut up those hot dogs with the scissors.
01:51:08.000 She's the salt of the earth.
01:51:12.000 Yeah?
01:51:16.000 What if she didn't want to have sex with you?
01:51:17.000 You still think she's a salt of the earth, wholesome, or... or what?
01:51:23.000 John James sent $3.
01:51:25.000 When Abba made that false dichotomy about you choosing a white pagan versus a black Christian, it made my blood boil, acting like it is impossible to find a white Christian wife.
01:51:35.000 Yeah, it's a stupid rhetorical question.
01:51:39.000 Rogue Laser sent $5.
01:51:41.000 Won't make it to the July rally, but... It's like a would you rather question.
01:51:44.000 It's like, would you rather...
01:51:46.000 Hmm, would you rather uh, I don't know.
01:51:49.000 What's a what's a stupid would you rather question?
01:51:55.000 And and they're like no no, but you have to answer would you rather have a Non-white Christian wife or a white atheist wife and you're like, well, I'd like a white Christian wife.
01:52:03.000 No, no, you have to pick Why?
01:52:07.000 Well, we can't have multiple priorities.
01:52:09.000 We can't have multiple conditions Okay
01:52:14.000 You can live in a house with a lot of crime, or in a house with a gay pride parade every day.
01:52:21.000 Which do you choose?
01:52:23.000 Neither?
01:52:24.000 Oh, well, no, you have to pick!
01:52:26.000 Oh, I don't know.
01:52:27.000 The crime?
01:52:28.000 C?
01:52:30.000 The gay pride parade?
01:52:31.000 C?
01:52:31.000 It's like, okay, so... You know, but they all think that's the most clever thing in the history of the world.
01:52:38.000 Hopefully to have PAC-4.
01:52:40.000 Love what you do and have been lurking since Grow Hyper War at Ohio State.
01:52:44.000 Hey, thanks a lot, buddy.
01:52:47.000 Sorry you can't make it to the rally, but I guess I'll see you at AFPAC 4.
01:52:50.000 Ohio State, huh?
01:52:52.000 Good times.
01:52:53.000 John Martin sent $3.
01:52:55.000 What do you think should happen to all the traitors whenever Putin crushes them?
01:52:59.000 If he executes them, it would be an excuse for NATO to declare war.
01:53:02.000 No, it wouldn't be.
01:53:03.000 What's wrong with you?
01:53:03.000 No, he should kill them, and that's honestly deserved.
01:53:07.000 That totally tracks with historical precedent.
01:53:11.000 What are you talking about?
01:53:14.000 Where did you come up with that?
01:53:17.000 You fool?
01:53:18.000 Yeah, war crimes and suspected chemical and nuclear terrorism.
01:53:22.000 No, but if he kills the rebels, then they'll have to go in.
01:53:27.000 What's wrong with you?
01:53:28.000 No, that doesn't justify it.
01:53:30.000 Then I would get the marriage annulled.
01:53:32.000 No joke, if I found that out, I would just straight up get the marriage dissolved.
01:53:45.000 You can't lie!
01:53:45.000 Okay, we read that already.
01:53:46.000 Yeah, in a Catholic marriage, you can't lie going into the sacrament.
01:53:49.000 Otherwise, it's not a valid marriage.
01:53:51.000 Okay, why did you send this 3,000 times?
01:54:08.000 Line Rider sent $5.
01:54:09.000 Did you mean it when you told Destiny that you went from thinking Jews were 90% of the world's problems down to like 30%?
01:54:16.000 Did I say that?
01:54:18.000 If I did, I was wrong.
01:54:20.000 They were always 100% of the world's problems.
01:54:24.000 Nick Howard sent $3.
01:54:26.000 You'll skip the formalities.
01:54:28.000 How would you go about converting a faggot to Christian?
01:54:33.000 I'll skip the formalities includes that.
01:54:35.000 Includes that preamble, by the way.
01:54:39.000 Well, these are two different questions.
01:54:49.000 First of all, you know, I don't think, you know, when you say faggot, I know that's supposed to come across as like, you know, like you're really hardcore, like you're really against that.
01:55:00.000 You don't need to call them faggots.
01:55:01.000 You could just say homosexuals or people that are, you know,
01:55:05.000 Homosexual.
01:55:06.000 I don't, and I've said this a long time on the show, I don't think being extremely hostile to to so-called trannies or gay people is necessarily the way.
01:55:19.000 I don't think it's really impressive.
01:55:20.000 I don't think it makes you appear more conservative.
01:55:23.000 I think these are troubled people.
01:55:25.000 I think in most cases these people are victims.
01:55:29.000 Now they become adults and they become
01:55:32.000 Responsible for their actions, but I don't think you can on the one hand say that our kids are being sexualized and our kids are being groomed But then they become adults and you say oh, haha.
01:55:45.000 We're gonna fucking kill you like we hate you So, you know, I don't you know, you come on you're like, I'll skip the formalities How do you get for a faggot to Christianity like who talks like that?
01:55:55.000 What are you compensating for something?
01:55:57.000 I have never cared for that kind of thing.
01:56:00.000 And as far as converting gay people to Christianity, it's a big hurdle.
01:56:05.000 Because gay people are very invested in not being Christian.
01:56:09.000 They're invested in not being Christian because for them, Christianity spells existential danger to their lifestyle, to their chosen lifestyle.
01:56:21.000 You know so much of their so much of their world is built around a sin It's the same thing with it's honestly not that much different than anyone that's promiscuous or a hardcore feminist You always see this whenever somebody is super invested in a sinful lifestyle Christianity is like anathema to them.
01:56:42.000 They can't have it because they're married to their ways they're married to something else and
01:56:49.000 You know, instead of saying, I'll follow God and being moral is my imperative, whatever that means, they say, well, if morality is inconvenient for my life, then fuck morality!
01:57:03.000 Morality can't possibly, you know, your morality can't possibly be right!
01:57:08.000 If morality means that I can't do whatever it is I want to do, well then that just can't be right.
01:57:13.000 And that's totally backwards.
01:57:14.000 Like, if your morality never tells you no, then it's probably not morality.
01:57:21.000 You know, I don't think ethics and morality are supposed to follow everything that you would like to have in your life, or everything that's comfortable or easy for you.
01:57:32.000 Or desirable.
01:57:33.000 That's a pretty good sign that your morality is not, like you don't have an objective engagement with that conversation, that you're just sort of, you know, dressing up your actions in something that suits them.
01:57:48.000 In other words, you're not actually thinking about what's right and wrong, you're thinking about what you want, and justifying it.
01:57:56.000 You know, and saying, I'm a good person because as long as I do this, I'm a good person.
01:58:01.000 You know, as long as I'm nice, as long as I'm not a frickin' asshole, I'm a good person.
01:58:07.000 So it's tough.
01:58:09.000 And you know what?
01:58:10.000 You can't convert... I'm a big believer that you actually can't convert people because grace comes from God.
01:58:15.000 It doesn't come from us.
01:58:17.000 And everybody thinks like you just say the words in the right order and somebody goes, what the heck?
01:58:23.000 You just convinced me.
01:58:25.000 I can't come up with a counter-argument.
01:58:27.000 Because it's very personal.
01:58:29.000 And it has to do with the person's soul.
01:58:32.000 So, you know, there's a very, like, Protestant view, I think, that you go out and convert people.
01:58:36.000 God converts people.
01:58:39.000 And you can play a part in that.
01:58:41.000 But the idea that it's like, you know, you come up to some homosexual degenerate who is totally, thoroughly in this filthy lifestyle,
01:58:54.000 I don't know.
01:59:06.000 Like, I don't think that's an easy sell.
01:59:10.000 And it's definitely not like an argument that you're just gonna win.
01:59:13.000 So I think it's tough.
01:59:14.000 Now, as far as the environment to reverse the damage of gay culture, you gotta take over all the institutions and just not allow that.
01:59:23.000 You know, say that it's wrong.
01:59:24.000 That's the revolutionary thing.
01:59:25.000 Nobody's willing to say it's wrong.
01:59:28.000 You know, you can say whatever you want about it.
01:59:30.000 How about simply, it's wrong, but nobody wants to say that.
01:59:36.000 So we need the culture to say it's wrong and, uh, you know, the kind of culture you've had for thousands of years.
01:59:43.000 Line Rider sent $15.
01:59:46.000 More money for the funny answer.
01:59:47.000 Good night, sir.
01:59:48.000 Hey, good night, buddy.
01:59:49.000 Thanks.
01:59:51.000 Jacob sent $10.
01:59:53.000 It always bothers me when men feel to need to comment on female attractiveness completely unprompted.
01:59:58.000 Like, wow, that girl is so pretty.
02:00:00.000 Honestly, kind of homosexual.
02:00:02.000 What goes through the head of these people?
02:00:04.000 Like you said, it's a balls-created mirage.
02:00:06.000 Well, that's different.
02:00:07.000 That's a little different.
02:00:09.000 I think that's acceptable.
02:00:10.000 You know?
02:00:11.000 You know, because sometimes you're just like, wow.
02:00:13.000 Sometimes... Sometimes you're just like, whoa.
02:00:18.000 And I actually don't think there's anything wrong with that.
02:00:20.000 I mean...
02:00:23.000 You know, I think that's appropriate.
02:00:27.000 But it's one thing to say, like, wow, look at her.
02:00:30.000 That's one thing.
02:00:30.000 It's totally different to say, as far as women go, she's pretty freaking based!
02:00:35.000 Like, that's totally different.
02:00:38.000 You know, because that's one of the things that women are good for, is that they're hot.
02:00:42.000 Not that they give, like, that they're really good at politics, you know?
02:00:46.000 Don't try and tell me, you gotta watch this girl's streamer, but if you say, like, whoa, look at her, it's like, okay, well, that's a little different.
02:00:53.000 Now, some people do it, and it's way over the top, and I know what you mean, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it in itself.
02:01:01.000 Okay, that's just bait.
02:01:16.000 True.
02:01:16.000 Well, that goes for everybody.
02:01:17.000 There's only so much you can do.
02:01:45.000 And unfortunately, we have a culture where it's not helping anybody that the whole culture is pointed in the wrong direction.
02:01:54.000 The whole culture is like a reassurance machine for people that love sin.
02:02:01.000 And homosexuality, particularly sodomy, is one of the worst sins.
02:02:06.000 And so the whole society is just this reassurance machine that says,
02:02:12.000 Love is love.
02:02:13.000 It's okay.
02:02:14.000 Blah blah blah.
02:02:15.000 And, you know, it doesn't help that it's a totally promiscuous society.
02:02:20.000 And so everywhere, and this goes for everybody, it's pornography, it's people are walking around naked, people are having casual sex all the time.
02:02:30.000 It has never been more accessible to see
02:02:34.000 Pornography or lewd media, or to have casual sex.
02:02:38.000 Never been more accessible.
02:02:40.000 Maybe in other times when there's a whorehouse, I guess, but it's pretty accessible these days.
02:02:46.000 So, you know, unfortunately, like the Bible says, it's a narrow road.
02:02:56.000 And you can, you know, you can do what you can, and you can preach the gospel, and you can have that conversation with people, but it's like you said.
02:03:06.000 And it's like I said, it's up to people to make the choice.
02:03:09.000 God gave us free will, you have to choose.
02:03:11.000 And, you know, as far as sin goes, people struggle with sin their entire life.
02:03:17.000 Everybody does.
02:03:18.000 Even the saints were afraid of dying because they didn't want to sin before they got to heaven.
02:03:25.000 But you can't lose your faith.
02:03:27.000 And, uh, you know, that's something that people have to cultivate in themselves.
02:03:44.000 Really?
02:03:45.000 Okay, so you had the money.
02:03:46.000 What were you looking for me to pay?
02:03:48.000 Nigga was like, maybe I could get Nick to pay for my flight.
02:03:51.000 No, boo-hoo, what was me?
02:03:52.000 I lost my flight.
02:03:54.000 Man, maybe I could get my ticket to someone else.
02:03:57.000 Were you expecting me to say, oh, I'll buy your... Oh, now suddenly you can afford the flight?
02:04:02.000 Wow, that's crazy.
02:04:04.000 That didn't take much.
02:04:06.000 Nah, I'm teasing you.
02:04:06.000 I'm glad you're coming.
02:04:09.000 I'm glad you're coming.
02:04:11.000 You know, if you don't...
02:04:12.000 You don't have to come if you are broke.
02:04:16.000 Save your money.
02:04:17.000 Save your money if you're broke.
02:04:19.000 It's just interesting how that changed.
02:04:23.000 That changed really quickly.
02:04:25.000 Hey, thanks a lot buddy.
02:04:27.000 Love you too.
