00:07:56.000And when that was happening, we were saying this is a totalitarian, this is a fascist, this is a Marxist who wants to silence voices of dissent.
00:08:02.000And of course, we were accused of being conspiracy theorists.
00:08:05.000Well, now that she is unfettered, she's unchanged, she is not a part of the American government, she's decided to go on her tour.
00:08:12.000And she's now, I don't know, the clip in front of the EU with, I guess, an ominous warning.
00:08:20.000Before I describe the details of Russia's recent online influence campaigns, Oh, that's treason!
00:08:34.000undoubtedly preparing a pressure campaign to force EU institutions to roll back regulation like the DSA, to end support for Ukraine, to stop holding Russia to account.
00:08:48.000Doing so is the clearest signal the European Union could send to Russia and other adversaries that it will not stop fighting to preserve democracy at home and around the world.
00:09:01.000So, everything about this is treasonous, and you know what the punishment is for treason.
00:09:08.000Here's the point I want to at least draw your attention to.
00:09:11.000She was installed into government by Joe Biden.
00:09:14.000And this lady is advocating a foreign collective of nations, the EU, to act as enemies of the United States.
00:09:22.000The country she was appointed to serve.
00:09:25.000At what point does it count as treason?
00:12:46.000Admonish. They have experiments to dim the sun, and that's going to be greenlit in the next few weeks, and that includes injecting aerosol into clouds to make them more reflective.
00:16:48.000And keep in mind, by the way, I will say this, at least now they're acknowledging what a lot of climate skeptics, they've called us climate skeptics, have known for a long time that humans, man-made carbon emissions in this, on our planet, it ranges anywhere,
00:17:04.000the total contribution to carbon, anywhere from 1% to 9%.
00:17:09.000The other 91% comes from natural processes, like...
00:17:13.000The ocean, the sun, the interaction between them.
00:17:16.000We've been talking about this for a long time.
00:17:18.000So now they seem to be on board with, oh, driving a Prius doesn't help, so let's block out the sun.
00:17:26.000Maybe they can launch all the Priuses towards the sun.
00:17:29.000Yes. As if Brits needed any help looking like trolls.
00:18:39.000Do you have any idea how confused people will be 300 years when they look upon the rubble of that civilization and try and carbon date the bodies?
00:24:39.000All right, let's go on to President Trump and the Ukraine-Russia offer right now.
00:24:46.000Let me just sort of explain this to you, because it's hard, and it's even hard for me, and of course, laying the brain here has done a great job.
00:24:53.000It kind of started with the mineral rights deal yesterday as I was reading up on it, and I was delirious where I thought I was being chased by Canadian geese in my bed last night.
00:27:11.000President Trump accusing Ukrainian President Zelensky of, quote, inflammatory statements today in a lengthy social media post after Zelensky reiterated he would not concede any territory to Russia, including Crimea, which was annexed in 2014 during the Obama administration.
00:27:33.000I don't like us sending money to Ukraine.
00:27:35.000But I will tell you what I really, really, really, really don't like is Zelensky acting like he's in a position to be making demands on anything.
00:27:46.000And then blaming us for not being able to secure your peace deal.
00:28:49.000Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is boasting on the front page of the Wall Street Journal that Ukraine will not legally recognize the occupation of Crimea.
00:29:04.000This statement is very harmful to the peace negotiations with Russia in that Crimea was lost years ago under the auspices of President Barack Hussein Obama.
00:29:26.000Nobody is asking Zelensky to recognize Crimea as Russian territory, but if he wants Crimea, why didn't they fight for it 11 years ago when it was handed over to Russia without a shot being fired?
00:29:39.000It's inflammatory statements like Zelensky's that makes it so difficult to settle this war he has nothing to boast about.
00:29:47.000Nothing. I know some people think he has some things.
00:29:51.000Nothing. I have nothing to do with Russia.
00:29:55.000Because he knows what they're going to say.
00:29:58.000But I have much to do with wanting to save, on average, 5,000 Russian and Ukrainian soldiers a week who are dying for no reason whatsoever.
00:30:05.000I look forward to being able to help Ukraine and Russia get out of this complete and total mess that would have never started if I were president.
00:30:58.000You may not like the terms as far as what he expects with the lines where they are right now, what territory he expects, what he's willing to compromise on.
00:31:06.000He's been, for everyone saying, you can't trust this guy at all, he's been more consistent, not saying he has been entirely consistent, he's been more consistent on his terms in coming to the table than Zelensky.
00:34:08.000Yeah. Now the United States, our funding, because it's more than all of these European nations combined, it is the foundation.
00:34:15.000It's the premise for Ukraine to continue the dying, to continue the kidnapping of their own citizens, including, in some cases, people who really have no business being in the military, to throw them to the front lines of the meat grinder.
00:34:28.000They can't do that without our constant funding.
00:34:31.000So please tell me how that's compassionate.
00:38:26.000Yeah. Like, if you get to the point where it's like, we need to be able to join NATO, you understand that that is saying, we will make no concessions or compromises with Russia, who, by the way, have largely kicked our ass.
00:38:39.000Yeah, and it may be good for Ukraine to be a part of NATO, but it's not good for the rest of the world, certainly not good for Europe, to have Ukraine as NATO at that point, because if that's the case right now, then we are technically supposed to be at war with Russia.
00:39:39.000Alternative is, hey, Ukraine, take your chances with Russia having control of the nuclear plant.
00:39:48.000There would be a formal recognition of Russian control over Crimea, which I bet you is going to be a sticking point, of course, with Zelensky.
00:39:59.000Trump was, of course, strategically vague about this point when he talked about it last night in the Oval Office.
00:40:05.000The deal that you have with Russia, does it include recognizing Russia's sovereignty over Crimea?
00:42:17.000This was the thing that bothered me, I guess, the most about this, is that this obviously gave them security guarantees.
00:42:22.000It gave them ties to the United States that they didn't have without giving them NATO coverage right now.
00:42:26.000Of course, you could argue that if they'd been in NATO before that this wouldn't have happened in the first place, but yes, that's Fantasyland.
00:42:39.000And let me bring you to the next point here.
00:42:41.000And we were talking about this in run-through.
00:42:42.000So point number seven in this deal is the lifting of sanctions and increased sort of economic cooperation between the United States and Russia.
00:43:08.000Okay, I don't, of course, I don't trust Putin either.
00:43:11.000Do you believe that Putin is more untrustworthy than Xi Jinping?
00:43:15.000Okay, what if we live in a world where as a result of this conflict, we said we know that you guys have been obviously seriously damaged by this war, and if you promise to play ball, we're actually not going to put these same kinds of tariffs on you so you can build up your manufacturing sector and cripple China for a lot of raw materials,
00:44:07.000Or is there an opportunity, perhaps, where Russia could become maybe a valuable trading partner and that would prevent them from running into the arms of communist China?
00:44:38.000Similar to China, maybe more expensive than China, but still very cheap.
00:44:41.000And if at the same time we said, by the way, EU, you're going to start buying, as we have already studied, you're going to start buying more energy from us and less from Russia where we could help transfer them from an energy-based economy, which of course kneecaps the rest of the world more significantly than them being largely a manufacturing or raw materials economy.
00:44:58.000Russia makes a huge portion of their income from energy, largely from Europe, who also condemns them at the same time.
00:45:06.000I know, you're saying, none of this makes sense.
00:45:12.000Concessions need to be made by both sides.
00:45:13.000And a lot of people talked about, this is one thing that's very telling to me.
00:45:17.000And by the way, if you are not, we're going to have my half-Asian lawyer, Bill Richmond, a barely legal on a Supreme Court case that relates to your constitutional right to carry.
00:45:39.000Remember how everyone was talking about with Russia?
00:45:42.000They were saying, well, they're just going to march on through Poland.
00:45:45.000I never really bought that, and I always thought that, well, actually, you know what, at this point in time, if I happen to be Poland, I would be more concerned that Russia would maybe be a threat to us if they didn't get a deal done with Ukraine.
00:46:02.000I would believe that they're more likely to stop at Ukraine, for example, if some concessions are made, as opposed to the alternative scenario is they steamroll through Ukraine, and uh-oh, here we are.
00:46:11.000Well, the Polish president, their president, Duda, said, De facto, this piece should, in my personal opinion, come down to the fact that neither side will be able to say that it won this war, because each side, in some sense, will have to step down.
00:46:25.000Ukraine will also have to step down, in some sense, because that's what will probably happen.
00:46:30.000He's saying that will probably happen, meaning it absolutely will happen anyway.
00:46:35.000So if Poland is saying, hey, this is something that needs to happen, hey, all of you folks out there who were supporting, you know, the Kinzingers, I don't know, Crenshaw, of course, everyone on the left who are supporting the never-ending funding for this war, based on the premise that they're going to march—think about Poland!
00:47:40.000And figure out, are these guys even in the same neighborhood?
00:47:43.000Because if they're in completely different zip codes, then we may have to conclude that they're so far apart that peace is impossible at this time.
00:47:50.000If Ukraine is in neighborhood, it is Chelsea.
00:48:52.000And so I just wanted to come back to one of the points that you made and then just kind of button this whole thing up.
00:48:56.000Switching them over to a manufacturing, probably not going to happen in any reasonable time frame, but here's the point that's broader, right?
00:49:05.000When we went back up to Nina Jankiewicz earlier, and she said this is one of the strongest statements that you can say that Europe will stand up, they will hold the line.
00:49:12.000No, the strongest statement that Europe can make about standing up and holding the line is stop funding Russia in this war.
00:49:18.000To the tune of more money than you're funding Ukraine.
00:49:21.000That would be the strongest stance they could take.
00:49:23.000Russia's always going to be an energy guy.
00:50:04.000Everybody right now that's out there saying that we should be pushing harder on Ukraine hasn't put a plan in place.
00:50:10.000No amount of money does this, by the way.
00:50:11.000Right. You can give them a trillion dollars tomorrow.
00:50:13.000This does not change the reality on the ground unless you provide them with people to actually fly the planes, because I don't think they have nearly enough pilots to actually do what they need to do, unless you provide them with soldiers on the ground to be able to push people back, unless you provide them with ongoing security guarantees for the rest of time.
00:50:29.000Right. That's the only thing that does this, and the world is not willing to do that.
00:50:32.000Well, it's kind of what we did in the Cold War, where we sort of moved some of our dependence, at least our trading, to China.
00:50:39.000Crisscross. At this point, it's like, okay, China, you don't get to be someone we rely on on account of the fact that you guys are communist dicks who killed like 10 million and tens of millions of people and you guys still support and have statues of the guy who did it.
00:50:50.000So, we got our eye on them, but we're going to take our chances with Russia right now a little bit because they have an incentive.
00:50:56.000If we have to pick from your commie crap...
00:50:58.000Or these semi-commy crap artists who may have a chance at straightening up and flying right?
00:51:04.000All right, let's give them the old college try.
00:51:11.000I'm saying there could be some good to come out of this, and we do need to be aware of the most significant threat, of course, which is not just to the United States, to the entire world, is China.
00:51:20.000And by the way, you know who would agree with that statement if they were honest?
00:51:24.000Yeah. Because they believe the greatest threat is climate change, right?
00:51:27.000We believe the greatest threat is fascism, is the destruction of freedom.
00:51:34.000For example, falling birth rates, the anti-humanist agenda.
00:51:38.000Of course, you would say, oh, okay, biggest power there is China.
00:51:41.000But the left would also say, wait a second, we're most afraid the biggest threat is climate change and the biggest emitter who doesn't give a shit as to your international agreements and will continue to create coal plants and will continue to have unsafe, unclean mining extraction processes,
00:55:31.000Yeah, so really the challenge was a number of organizations that have 18 to 20-year-olds that want to be able to carry handguns in public.
00:55:40.000Sure. And the law since 2003 in Minnesota, and every state's a little bit different, said that you could not.
00:55:46.000So even though you could legally possess one, you could not be carrying it in public.
00:55:51.000And so finally they had a couple of individuals, I think it was three gentlemen and one lady, who were all between the ages of 18 to 20 at the time.
00:55:59.000They were denied the application to be able to get that carry license.
00:56:04.000So with the Supreme Court, with their decision, does this mean that...
00:56:08.000Automatically, now in Minnesota, they can get their carry permit?
00:56:10.000So what that means is the appellate court ruled in favor of the kids and said, you are not actually kids.
00:56:16.000You are adults in the historical context.
00:56:18.000And then the other side, the state, appealed it to the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:56:22.000And the U.S. Supreme Court denied the writ of certiorari, which means they said, nope, looks good to us.
00:57:01.000When they write these complaints and they petition it, they use...
00:57:05.000I'm kind of surprised you would think there'd be some accountability or some kind of process.
00:57:09.000When you're bringing this to court, like, hey, yeah, but that's a lie.
00:57:12.000So the debunk stat, we've gone through this so many times, but it was included in their petition that firearms are the leading cause of death among children and teens.
00:57:19.000And Governor Whitmer just talked about this again.
00:57:22.000That number that you see, it includes youth all the way up to age 24. And like 85% of the kids who were killed by guns were like 15 to 19 years old and they were gang members.
00:57:34.000If you take that out and you actually include children, what people view as children, Guns aren't even top five.
00:58:55.000Yeah! Wait, isn't that just how a Tesla drives?
00:58:58.000It just memorizes the roads and it's like, I got this left, right, oh, fuck!
00:59:02.000I failed my eye exam in the state of Texas just handing me a license.
00:59:05.000I'm not gonna lie, I never actually did take a driving test because I came from Quebec and it was a learner's permit and they didn't understand it.
00:59:13.000They're like, whatever, here's your license.
00:59:15.000I had to go through it for my motorcycle, my Class C license, but not even a fender bender.
01:01:03.000So it's not like all of a sudden we went from, okay, now 18 to 20-year-olds are given a gun and a Red Bull and sent off into the street, right?
01:01:16.000Some guy cliff diving, shooting a mag, shooting a desert eagle.
01:01:20.000Here's a gold one in one hand, a silver in another, and here's some tracer rounds while you're at it.
01:01:25.000No, I mean, it's not like that at all.
01:01:27.000And that was actually cited by the Eighth Circuit.
01:01:30.000They're like, well, you guys already have a lot of these restrictions that you passed those saying that they were really necessary to monitor everyone 18 or above, right?
01:01:38.000Right. If you already got those in place, why do you have to do a blanket over this age group anyways?
01:01:44.000Can I ask you, because this is something that's been a point of discussion for a long time in the firearm community, is this a signal at all, or what are the chances of there being a national sort of constitutional carry?
01:01:54.000Do you think the Supreme Court would ever recognize that?
01:01:56.000Do you think we're heading toward that?
01:01:57.000I think that's the exact right question to be asked right now, because there are multiple circuits that all are in different stages of dealing with this issue.
01:02:05.000So, for example, Colorado had an age ban.
01:02:21.000So we're looking at a circuit split, which is almost one of the perfect opportunities for the Supreme Court to come in and go, you guys say this, you guys say that, these guys win.
01:02:46.000Do you think this might actually be a de facto way of settling that issue where it's like, okay, either you're an adult or you're not, so you get to enjoy your Second Amendment rights or you don't?
01:02:54.000Correct. That was a big part of the argument.
01:02:56.000And some of it was a little confusing because there were restrictions in the past for 18- to 20-year-olds voting, and then there was a time when they were not, and then there was restrictions on certain land ownership versus non-land ownership over time, and these were the statutes that were talked about over time.
01:03:12.000But eventually what they came down to is they said, look, this was meant to allow adults to have the right to bear arms with the minimal amount of restrictions set out in the Constitution and the other case law that's And they said there's no specific reason why we treat these folks as adults now.
01:03:28.000And as the founders had said, adults should be able to carry handguns in public.
01:03:44.000And we're going to take some more of your legal questions today if you're not a Rumble Premium member because it's Chat Thursday and you always have a lot of legal questions because you don't want to pay the retainer.
