00:05:19.000And so the two democratic republics of Luhansk and Donetsk will be holding a referendum starting on the 23rd, going on until the 27th, about whether or not to join Russia.
00:05:33.000So this is the official formal annexation of the region Donbass and the sub-regions, the provinces Luhansk and Donetsk by Russia.
00:05:46.000Huge development, totally changes the course of the war.
00:05:50.000And we were supposed to get a statement by the Russian President Vladimir Putin tonight, but it was mysteriously postponed at the last minute.
00:06:00.000And so now apparently we'll be getting a statement from the Russian president perhaps later tonight, like midnight, 1 a.m., 2 a.m.
00:06:29.000The Defense Minister is speaking and what is anticipated is perhaps a declaration of war formally against Ukraine and maybe the announcement of a general mobilization of the Russian country against Ukraine.
00:06:46.000So we'll talk about that tonight and what all that means.
00:06:53.000Because right now you've got not a war but a special military operation
00:07:00.000And you don't have necessarily Russia fighting Ukraine so much as largely there is fighting by the militaries, the militias in Luhansk and Donetsk with the support of the Russians in Ukraine.
00:07:18.000If they annex the two territories, then you'll have fighting technically within Russia.
00:07:24.000If Luhansk and Donetsk become part of Russia,
00:07:28.000Then you've got Russians fighting Ukrainians in Russia.
00:07:31.000And these militias of fighters in Luhansk and Donetsk become Russian military.
00:07:36.000So it totally changes what's going on there.
00:07:40.000We'll also be talking tonight about a new poll for the 2022 midterms, which shows that Hispanics are still not going to be voting Republican.
00:07:51.000The majority of them are supporting the Democrats, and the majority of Hispanics remain deeply entrenched
00:07:58.000on left-wing issues, particularly left-wing social and cultural issues.
00:08:31.000So they support the Democrats and they support all this liberal politics which flies in the face of everything that we have been told for a long time by different people in various ways about how legal immigration is really nothing to be too worried about.
00:08:48.000Or, I should put it another way, how the replacement of white people by non-white people is nothing to be too concerned about.
00:08:57.000We're told that by all different kinds of people in many different kinds of ways, if it's not even about immigration itself per se, it's about how the non-white
00:09:11.000Replacement is not going to be a big deal.
00:09:14.000And we were told decades ago that that's because they're actually natural conservatives.
00:09:19.000And then we were told for a time that we can't alienate those people because they're going to be the future of the party.
00:09:38.000And they said that in 2020, the Hispanics voted 40% for Trump which shows, according to Steve Bannon, that we're gonna get these working class Mexicans and these working class blacks.
00:09:50.000They would need to work for them to be working class.
00:10:34.000We're told that we're going to win over these working class Hispanics and the ain't working blacks and that's going to fuel a political realignment and give Republicans control for a thousand years.
00:10:46.000That's what Steve Bannon has been saying on his stupid show for years and it wasn't true in 2020 and it's not true now.
00:10:55.000We're not gaining ground with Hispanics.
00:14:28.000There's a big war where there were gambling streamers, and then there was some Twitch streamer that sexually assaulted some girl, like, touched her boob.
00:14:38.000This is what goes on, and people say our drama is stupid, and then in Twitch world, one of their biggest streamers, I guess, uh, was with some girl who was drunk, and he was trying to, like, resuscitate her, or something, so he grabbed her boob.
00:14:58.000I don't know if that's exactly it, but again, somebody posted about it, and the Twitch community has exploded over it.
00:15:05.000That was like the Franz Ferdinand of the Twitch universe, is that some girl got drunk or something, and a guy was caring for her and grabbed her boob.
00:15:26.000And so anyway so that happened a long time ago and then this has been brought back to light and in this gambling controversy so now there's people attacking some people because they took it easy on this guy that grabbed a girl's boob and those people are attacking the gambling streamers for for being gamblers or something selling it to kids I don't know
00:16:44.000Because not only can't I stream on there, not only can I not make a Twitch channel and stream, or a YouTube channel, but even better, I'm thinking about me this summer, I get on a panel with Sneeko and Destiny and Jadeon and these other guys, Don and Abba,
00:17:05.000And it's a huge stream on YouTube, 25,000 people watching across all platforms or something like that.
00:17:11.000And it's like, okay, so I can't be on the platforms and I can't, I can't be on any of them.
00:17:16.000I can't be on Twitter, I can't be on Twitch, I can't be on YouTube, I can't write, I can't use any platform and so nobody can hear about me, can't be on TikTok, can't mention me on TikTok.
00:17:27.000But then, you know, the few times you're able to break
00:17:41.000Abba and Judea and say oh well he was racist so we're never talking to him again and then Sneeko says oh I can't talk to you anymore because he gets a strike on his channel for hosting me and then Destiny makes up this BS about oh your friend reported my friend and then in an unrelated way my friend got banned so now I'm not talking to you anymore so it's like really?
00:18:10.000So anyway I'm just now I'm just complaining but I'm not in that world so I don't even know what the drama is about but apparently there's like freaking millions of people that are watching this gambling drama go on.
00:18:22.000It does say something though that the biggest streamers and the biggest streams and the biggest content is just
00:18:46.000I don't know, I haven't looked at it, but I would assume that if you took the average age of the most active users on all the platforms, I would guess that Twitch is one of, if not the youngest, right there with TikTok.
00:19:02.000Facebook and Twitter skew older for sure.
00:19:07.000I think that TikTok and Twitch have got to be the youngest.
00:19:11.000And the most viral, the biggest content on Twitch, on the front page, it's porn and it's gambling.
00:19:19.000And I don't even use Twitch very much, but I go there from time to time and I watch like Trainwrecks, who I was on his panel a few years ago, and he's just doing a slot machine.
00:19:32.000And then it's these they call them pool streams or hot tub streams where girls are in bathing suits and because they can't do regular porn they can't just it's not a porn site technically so they'll just go down to their bathing suit and hang and hang out in the pool and these are the biggest streams on Twitch and again I hate to be that guy that's like you know
00:19:54.000But there is something to be said about the fact that that is, and I get it, sex sells, and I guess gambling sells as well, but consider the fact that I'm banned from these platforms.
00:20:10.000Because I believe in race, because I think that race is real, and I think the Jews run everything, and you know, I'm being a little simplistic here, but
00:20:20.000That's what I'm known for is, oh he's racist and he thinks the Jews run everything.
00:20:24.000It's like, okay, but porn stars and gambling?
00:20:35.000A lot of this stuff is very generic, is very lame, but it's just... It's just true and it's frustrating.
00:20:41.000Like, consider the Senate will hold multiple hearings about so-called extremist content because I go on there and say, hey, 9-11 was done by Israel.
00:20:50.000That is worthy of the attention of the U.S.
00:21:28.000I think there's regulations where it has to be obscured from public view like you can't see it from the outside.
00:21:33.000So you'll have these little back rooms and little curtained off areas and you just get these zombies there that just go there and just hit the slots.
00:21:42.000And it's all bound up by this misery which just pervades the land, which just saturates the land.
00:22:48.000Dave Portnoy is not white, and he's not a patriot, and he's not a Christian.
00:22:51.000The guy's a straight-up man-child Jew who pushes on kids, which I wasn't even aware of that this is what he's known for, is sports betting, and then promoting on a show.
00:23:03.000He's sitting around on a panel with the TikTokers that do all this softcore type stuff.
00:23:09.000And talking about how they smoke pot and all this, and they call it Andrew Tate and so on.
00:23:15.000Anyway, it skits at what I was talking about the other night.
00:23:19.000We looked at the Queen's funeral and how they called that Hitler.
00:23:23.000It's like the same story with social media.
00:23:25.000There is who they go after, and that's telling, and it's equally telling who they do not go after.
00:23:32.000It's telling that they raise the alarm and they raise a red flag about the guy who's telling people, among other things, things that are considered fringe.
00:23:41.000Sure, race realism, conspiracy theories, all day.
00:23:45.000But among those things, get married, go to church, go to school, go to college, save your money, get involved, be an activist.
00:23:53.000That's who they go after, and people can debate whether that's a result of bias or not, whether that's warranted or not, but what is unseen is those that are not gone after.
00:24:06.000We can say, oh well sure the senators are reasonable to look into political extremism, but not kids being lured into gambling and porn and drugs?
00:25:54.000But you start saying who these people are and what they're about, suddenly you're an extremist, you're a political activist, you gotta go, you gotta get banned, no one can talk to you.
00:26:09.000So anyway, that's just what's going on.
00:26:11.000But we're gonna get into the news here.
00:26:43.000And it's largely a result of mass immigration from primarily Latin America, but increasingly more from Asia as well.
00:26:51.000And this is something that they don't want people to notice, they don't talk about very much.
00:26:56.000But people are noticing, and they're subconsciously and unconsciously becoming uncomfortable about it and becoming aware of the way in which the country is changing.
00:27:05.000And people are trying to find the words for it, and it's clashing with their anti-racist programming.
00:27:13.000How do we acknowledge our white race and our white country and how it's evolving?
00:27:22.000But without breaking our anti-racist programming, this is how we come up with things like Make America Great Again and all that.
00:27:30.000Anyway, Republicans have been trying to hold back the white constituency in America, their white voting constituency, by reassuring them that Hispanics are actually, not only are they going to be great in America, but also they're not going to threaten political control.
00:27:49.000Because there's really kind of two things going on here.
00:27:52.000The country is becoming less white and that's changing the country.
00:27:55.000That's changing the neighborhoods, that's changing the schools, the workplaces, the cities.
00:28:00.000It's just changing everything because they're not like us.
00:28:04.000I am Hispanic, but, you know, my Hispanic ancestors came here four or five generations ago.
00:28:09.000The people that are coming here are, on average, they have an IQ of 85, they're a different skin color, they don't speak English, they are not educated, they do not have skills, they do not have capital.
00:28:23.000So we are talking about as poor people with an IQ, a standard deviation, lower than the average in America.
00:30:56.000And because in the Virginia governor's race, a majority, I believe, or half of Hispanics voted for the Republican candidate for governor.
00:31:06.000So, they say, because of Trump's performance with Hispanics in 2020, because of Greg Yunkin's performance with Hispanics in Virginia,
00:31:17.000And because of a whole host of other things, people have these fantasies about Hispanics are going to bring Catholic integralism, and people talk about this book called White Shift, about how Hispanics are actually becoming white, they're identifying as white, they're moving, they're intermixing with whites, and their kids are becoming white, and they're leveling up economically and becoming middle class, so they're shifting, whiteness is shifting to encapsulate now Hispanics.
00:32:04.000Since Donald Trump made surprising gains with Hispanic voters, but Republican dreams of a major realignment of Latino voters drawn to GOP stances on crime and social issues have failed to materialize, according to a new poll by the New York Times and Siena College.
00:32:21.000The poll, one of the largest non-partisan surveys of Latino voters since the 2020 election, found that Democrats had maintained a grip on the majority of Latino voters, driven in part by women and the belief that Democrats remain the party of the working class.
00:32:37.000Overall, Hispanic voters are more likely to agree with Democrats on many issues, such as immigration, gun policy, climate,
00:32:46.000They're also more likely to see Republicans as the party of the elite, and it's holding extreme views.
00:32:51.000A majority of Hispanic voters, 56%, plan to vote for Democrats, compared with just 32% for Republicans.
00:32:59.000Hispanic voters are playing a pivotal role in the battle for Congress, making up a significant slice of voters as high as 20% in two of the states likeliest to determine control of the Senate, Arizona and Nevada.
00:33:12.000Latinos also make up more than 20% of registered voters in more than a dozen highly competitive House races in California, Colorado, Florida, and Texas.
00:33:22.000The 2020 election results, in which Mr. Trump gained an estimated 8 percentage points among Hispanics compared to 2016, began changing both parties' outlooks.
00:33:31.000The Times poll shows that historic allegiances and beliefs on core issues remain entrenched, however.
00:33:38.000While majorities of Hispanic voters side with the Democrats on social and cultural issues, sizable shares hold beliefs aligned with Republicans.
00:33:47.000More than a third of Hispanic voters say they agree with the GOP on crime and policing.
00:33:52.000Four out of ten Hispanic voters have concerns that the Democratic Party has gone too far on race and gender.
00:33:58.000Hispanic voters view economic issues as the most important factor determining their vote this year and are evenly split on which party they agree with more on the economy.
00:34:08.000On social and cultural issues, Hispanic voters remain aligned with the Democrats.
00:34:12.000The majority, 58%, have a favorable view of BLM.
00:34:16.00045% say the same about Blue Lives Matter.
00:34:21.000A majority believe that abortion should be legal in all or most cases, even among Republican Hispanics.
00:34:27.000Four in ten oppose the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
00:34:32.000Support for BLM and abortion rights is propelled largely by young people.
00:34:37.000When asked whom they agree with more on gun policy, 49% said Democrats, while 34% said Republicans.
00:35:33.000They still continue to pour over the board, and they still continue to comprise a larger and larger proportion of the voting base in swing states.
00:36:32.000Just this year became majority non-white.
00:36:37.000And once those people get registered to vote, and as they continue to increase their share of the electorate, Texas will become a purple state and then a blue state.
00:37:21.000Texas is gonna be blue, Florida's gonna be blue, Georgia's gonna be blue, Virginia, all the Northeast, the entire- which there used to be some, used to be able to maybe win Maryland or New Hampshire, that's all going blue.
00:37:37.000You would be able to count on two hands how many states Republicans are even gonna be able to win reliably, much less be competitive in, in the future.
00:37:49.000And people have been, and I know all of you know this, people have been sounding the alarm bell on this for decades, and here's the point.
00:38:02.000Because I thought we defeated this logic in 2016.
00:38:06.000I thought that when Trump won in 2016, that shut them all up.
00:38:09.000Because they had been saying this for decades, the neocons, the GOP establishment.
00:38:15.000They have been saying for decades, nothing to worry about, country's changing, and it's getting better.
00:38:21.000That should have decisively finished off that argument, that we want a revanchist, traditional party that's based on the historic demographics of America, based on white people.
00:38:32.000That doesn't mean that we don't want Hispanics in the coalition, it doesn't mean we don't want blacks in the coalition, but the core of the Republican coalition is going to be white people.
00:38:41.000That's who's going to win these elections, is the white people.
00:38:44.000And we should be primarily focused on winning over more college-educated and non-college-educated white people than bending over backwards for blacks and Hispanics by changing our policies on immigration in particular, or crime for that matter.
00:39:06.000A culturally white-lash message, which is what Van Jones said, and it was true, won the election for the Republicans for the first time since Bush.
00:39:21.000For some reason, in the six years since that victory, we have unlearned what we all collectively were supposed to have learned in 2016.
00:39:31.000And this is where we get, like I said a year ago, I'm in a Twitter space debating with the future of the movement, people at Newsmax and ISI and NatCon,
00:39:43.000And National Review and all the rest, all these young guys, a couple of them Jewish, saying that, well now they've got new arguments.
00:39:52.000They've got new arguments as to why legal immigration is awesome and no, we need to pander to minorities.
00:40:07.000And the idea is that we're going to win over these Hispanics and these Blacks and it's not going to matter that we've got mass immigration.
00:40:33.000Not only are they not gonna hurt our political future, but they're not gonna hurt America because they're just gonna become like us white people anyway.
00:40:42.000There's a white shift going on and these Hispanics are gonna become white just like white people.
00:41:57.000They're racially... The reason they have black hair and brown skin and they look Mexican and if they're coming from Nicaragua or Central America, even more so.
00:42:08.000If they're coming from Venezuela, even more so.
00:42:13.000It's because they're racially not white.
00:42:51.000Look at what we were being told by John McCain and Mitt Romney and Kevin McCarthy and Eric Cantor and all these people back then.
00:43:01.000Think about what we were being sold by the neocons and the GOP establishment of the 2000s and compare it to what we're being sold by the national conservatives or publicly gave them a wedgie.
00:43:14.000Trump humiliated them in like a deep way.
00:43:18.000And in a way he humiliated everybody that opposed him from that side.
00:43:27.000So they came up with this new garbage.
00:43:30.000They came up with this new name, and this new story, and these new people.
00:43:35.000And it's a lot of the old people too, though, to sell you a lot of the same stuff, which is, we're pushing this compassionate conservatism, and Hispanics are gonna be better Americans.
00:43:47.000They used to say they're gonna be better Americans because the American Dream.
00:43:51.000Now they're saying they're better Americans because they're gonna be Catholic, and all these kinds of things.
00:43:56.000And they used to say, it doesn't matter, they're enriching our culture.
00:43:59.000Now they're saying, well, they're becoming white anyway.
00:46:10.000People say, oh, Republicans gotta get real.
00:46:13.000There's a pathway for us to rule America for a hundred years, and it's not involve diluting ourselves into thinking that winning over more Hispanics is gonna get us there.
00:47:00.000Nah, I think it starts with, I think it starts with we need to have something like a white uprising, politically speaking, gain control of social media, maybe just get rid of Congress altogether after that happens.
00:47:29.000It's like Yoda slipping off of the thing in the Senate, and he drops into the ship of Bill Organa and says, failed, I have time to go into hiding for a generation.
00:51:48.000It's a war between people that are living in reality and then these people that are just not living in reality.
00:51:56.000That's what I'm trying to get at here.
00:51:59.000We can live in reality and say, look, Jews are on the show, the country's becoming not white, we're becoming a peasant nation, our wealth is being taken, we don't make anything,
00:52:26.000Well the thing is, Brett, listen here Brett, the thing is we just aren't capturing, we're just not doing enough minority outreach, and GOP's got to play a little bit harder in this next cycle to get these... You know, it's like, when are you going to shut the hell up and get real?
00:52:43.000We're not failing at minority outreach.
00:52:47.000These people have an average IQ of 85.
00:55:24.000And you see the fighting is taking other forms where Russia is cutting off the natural gas to the European Union countries and causing an energy crisis globally.
00:55:34.000Causing an energy crisis and was up until a grain deal was struck recently causing a global food crisis.
00:55:42.000Causing a food crisis causing an energy crisis before the winter.
00:55:46.000It's now the strategic picture is changing although the fighting is stagnated although the actual fighting Ukraine is ground to a halt and there's a status quo that is emerged where Ukraine is shredding their people and their equipment's being destroyed and they're just getting more stuff on tap from from NATO all the time and Russia's just blowing it up and
00:56:08.000The strategic situation is about to be shaken up because Russia has cut off the natural gas to Europe.
00:56:14.000And this is going to have a much more dramatic effect now that the winter has arrived because the temperatures are going to start to get cold.
00:56:23.000And they're going to need lots of energy to heat their homes in Poland, in Czechia, in Germany.
00:56:30.000In Italy, in the United Kingdom, and even countries like the United Kingdom that don't rely on Russia for the natural gas, they do rely on natural gas.
00:56:41.000And Russia is the world's largest supplier of natural gas.
00:56:44.000And if the Germans can't buy natural gas from Russia, they're going to need to buy it from elsewhere.
00:56:50.000And if there's less natural gas overall, the price is going to go up.
00:56:53.000And that's why a lot of British people are looking at their energy bills and they're going to get killed.
00:56:57.000And the government is subsidizing it for consumers, but businesses are getting slaughtered, and German businesses are getting slaughtered.
00:57:31.000Later tonight it seems by the Russian president and the defense minister and we don't know exactly what they're gonna say but the big development is that the People's Republic of Luhansk or the Democratic Republic of Luhansk and of Donetsk are going to declare their intention to join Russia and be formally annexed by Russia and so they'll hold the referendum and
00:57:57.000And people will vote about whether they want to join Russia or not.
00:58:02.000And this is a story from Russia Today.
00:58:04.000It says, quote, Referendums to join the Russian Federation will be held in the Luhansk and Donetsk People's Republics from September 23rd until the 27th.
00:58:34.000The LPR's decision was soon followed by DPR leader Denis Pushilin, who declared that his state would also be holding a similar referendum on the same date.
00:58:45.000He said he had already introduced the relevant legislation in the DPR's parliament.
00:58:49.000Russia recognized the two territories as independent in February, but most of the world still regards them as part of Ukraine.
00:58:56.000However, Kiev lost de facto control of both in 2014, when the local populations rejected the outcome of the Western-backed Maidan coup.
00:59:06.000Russia sent troops into Ukraine on February 24th, citing Kiev's failure to implement the Minsk agreements.
00:59:12.000Designed to give the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk special status within the Ukrainian state.
00:59:17.000The protocols brokered by Germany and France were signed in 2014.
00:59:21.000Former Ukrainian President Pyotr Poroshenko has since admitted that Kiev's main goal was to use the ceasefire to buy time and create powerful armed forces.
00:59:32.000In February 2022, the Kremlin recognized the Donbass Republics as independent states and demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join any Western military bloc.
00:59:44.000Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked.
00:59:49.000So this is the big development, is that Luhansk and Donetsk, the two breakaway Donbass territories, are going to join Russia this week or next week.
01:00:01.000They're gonna hold a referendum, the people are gonna vote to join Russia, and then Luhansk and Donetsk, like Crimea in 2014, will officially become part of Russia!
01:00:56.000The reason they're doing this now, it seems, they've got almost complete control of Luhansk, they control only about half of Donetsk, and the main city, the Ukrainian armed forces are not far from the main city in Donetsk.
01:01:14.000But the reason that they're annexing these territories is really to raise the stakes, and it really is with an eye towards, in a way, escalating the conflict.
01:01:23.000Because what we have right now, as I said, is not even technically a war.
01:01:31.000When the invasion occurred in February, it was declared as a special military operation, which, I mean, it is really a war, but not officially a war.
01:02:11.000So you've got these militias fighting, and Russia's bringing in people also from the Middle East, and they're bringing people in from the Caucasus, and there are some Russian fighters, but Russia's not fully mobilized for a war.
01:02:21.000They've not officially declared war, and they're not fully mobilized for a war.
01:02:31.000And what this does, by declaring Luhansk and Donetsk a part of Russia, as opposed to independent states, is now the fighting is happening in Russia.
01:02:41.000If Ukraine is attacking Luhansk and Donetsk with artillery, they're attacking Russia.
01:02:47.000They're attacking Russian soil and Russian citizens.
01:02:51.000And when there's fighting in Donetsk, the Russians are fighting to secure control of Russian territory.
01:02:57.000They're not fighting in another country.
01:03:00.000And so, that would be like the difference between Americans fighting in Iraq, or Afghanistan, and Americans fighting for control over Texas, or Americans fighting for control over Alaska, or something like that.
01:03:14.000Or maybe how the Americans would fight, maybe make a little bit more sense in NATO, in a NATO country like Germany, for control over a NATO country like Germany, or in South Korea where we've got a defense alliance.
01:03:28.000And what this does is it changes the dynamic completely.
01:03:31.000Now the Russians can fight a little bit more strongly.
01:03:34.000Maybe they could begin to fight with air support, and they could begin to fight with heavy artillery.
01:03:42.000They could mobilize more people than they could before.
01:03:45.000One of the consequences of annexing these territories is now the people of Luhansk and Donetsk are going to become part of the Russian military.
01:03:53.000The people that were fighting as militia are fighting in the LPR, DPR armed forces are now going to be fighting under the Russian armed forces.
01:04:04.000It's different in terms of how the government is going to treat it, and how the fighters are going to be organized, and how the military is going to treat it.
01:04:15.000Well, probably you're going to see similar referendums take place in other regions along the South as well.
01:04:24.000And I can't pronounce them, but I think it's a curse on which is north of Crimea and then the one east of that which has just like five Z's and So I don't know how to pronounce that one
01:04:36.000Is Russia going to annex every territory east of the Dnieper River?
01:04:40.000Are they going to annex the entire half of Ukraine, which is ethnically Russian, Russian-speaking, and honestly has a desire to join Russia?
01:05:18.000For another reason, on the other side of the conflict, because while the DPR and LPR militias will now be fighting in the Russian Armed Forces, and while Ukraine will now be attacking Russian soil, and Russia will be securing Russian soil as opposed to fighting outside of it, as well, where NATO was sending these weapons, now NATO is sending in weapons to officially attack Russian soil.
01:05:45.000But at the same time, NATO sending in artillery, they're giving Ukraine artillery now to attack Russian soil as opposed to Russian forces in Ukraine.
01:07:15.000So it's sort of forcing, and Putin is playing it very smart, he's sort of forcing the West out of the picture.
01:07:22.000By cutting off the gas, and by annexing these territories, what is being done here is it's, these are moves designed politically to force NATO out of the conflict.
01:07:36.000Cutting off the gas creates major problems for these western countries.
01:07:40.000It creates problems in the form of civil unrest.
01:08:03.000And if there's a recession in Germany, there will be a recession across the Eurozone.
01:08:08.000And it is causing 10% inflation in the UK and in continental Europe.
01:08:16.000So it's causing political problems, it's causing societal, social problems, it's causing economic problems, and this is because of not just the Eurozone support for Ukraine, but their sanctions against Russia.
01:08:45.000And and we're seeing again this this Russia Ukraine thing it's not in the headlines every day But in a way it is because so much of what is going on is the shock waves and the ripple effect from this It's now a global conflict and you could see that in Armenia and Azerbaijan You can and it's to some extent now Serbia and Kosovo Turkey and Greece Turkey and Armenia
01:09:13.000Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan are now at war.
01:10:02.000Now, there is a strategic benefit that we're getting, which is that there's a strategic benefit for Washington.
01:10:09.000Washington is bringing the European Union under its control, whereas China was subverting Europe for a long time with Huawei and 5G and Belt and Road Initiative.
01:10:23.000We are forcing Russia into China's arms, but at the same time, we're also sort of forcing Europe into the arms of Washington away from China.
01:10:35.000So we're making it costly for them, we're making it costly for us.
01:10:38.000We're forcing Russia into a relationship with China, we're forcing Europe into a relationship with the United States.
01:10:44.000We're going to force the Russian economy to contract by 6%.
01:10:47.000We're also forcing inflation to be 10% here and in Europe.
01:10:53.000And not just with fuel and food, but also in everything else.
01:11:03.000And precipitating all kinds of other economic disasters like a major recession and a stock market crash and layoffs.
01:11:10.000So, the point is, none of this is good.
01:11:13.000This should have been handled very quickly.
01:11:17.000I mean, we should have sanctioned Russia.
01:11:19.000I think you have to if you're Washington.
01:11:21.000It should have never gotten to this point, if we're being honest.
01:11:24.000Ukraine should have never been in the cards that Ukraine would join NATO.
01:11:28.000But once Russia invades, at that point, you're Washington, you have to sanction.
01:11:34.000But it should have been the same BS sanctions.
01:11:36.000They should have let Russia get away with a lot and just be done with it.
01:11:40.000But now it seems like this is going to end the whole world here.
01:11:44.000Because I don't think the NATO is going to stop.
01:11:46.000NATO is going to continue to attack and they're going to be attacking Russian soil.
01:11:50.000They're going to escalate like they always do.
01:11:52.000They're not going to back down with the natural gas thing.
01:11:55.000You know, so there's really no good options here, but that's the current state of the war.
01:12:01.000We're gonna watch and see how that plays out.
01:12:03.000I hope that if Putin starts speaking at 1 a.m.
01:12:06.000I might jump back on to cover it or something, but we still don't even know the full story because we're still waiting on a statement from the Russian president and the defense minister.
01:12:16.000It's supposed to be a big speech about the war.
