Regime change on the mind? From Russia to our own government? What happened in Russia over the weekend? We have Jack Pesobic to help us unpack that. And is Joe Biden being replaced? We give our analysis.
00:00:50.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:22.000Former criminal and hot dog salesman who eventually built one of the largest catering and restaurant businesses in post-Soviet Russia.
00:02:29.000And yes, from there, he branched into running a private military company, effectively mercenaries.
00:02:34.000Now, in Russia, private military companies are technically legal, illegal.
00:02:40.000Yet Wagner operated with impunity anyway, as a de facto private army under Progozhin's control.
00:02:47.000Now, Wagner's troops, many of them recruited convicts, not exactly sending their best, have fought in Syria, in Africa, and of course, thousands of them have been fighting in Ukraine, where they've been taking on a bigger and bigger role over the past year.
00:03:04.000You've probably heard about the long battle over the city of Bakhmut that was heavily handled by the Wagner group.
00:03:11.000Now, according to Bogozhin, he lost more than 20,000 men trying to take the town, openly disputing lower figures put out by the Russian government with this coup attempt.
00:03:23.000It's not clear if he was telling the truth or trying to lay the groundwork for his own bid at power.
00:03:28.000Now, you must remember that in third world countries, Russia is not technically a third world country, but in many countries, there's constant coups or attempted coups and who controls the military to overturn the country.
00:03:40.000You would call this a potential insurrection.
00:04:06.000That would be like if Blackwater took over the city of Phoenix.
00:04:09.000Blackwater, the private contracting firm, used to exist under Eric Prince.
00:04:12.000For a moment, it looked like Wagner was making a serious bid to overthrow the Russian government.
00:04:18.000The government was setting up roadblocks and other defenses on the way to Moscow.
00:04:21.000Putin reportedly fled the city, but after about 24 hours, Progozhin backed down.
00:04:26.000He reportedly took a deal to leave the country for exile in Belarus or perhaps even Africa, while Wagner forces in Ukraine will be folded directly into the Russian army.
00:04:35.000So Vladimir Putin's government survived, but this is hugely damaging to him.
00:04:40.000One of his own subordinates launched a rebellion instead of crushing it, and they had to cut a deal to end it nonviolently.
00:04:47.000And all public reports say that he threatened to just kill his family.
00:04:50.000The Russian government said, we're just going to kill your family if this continues.
00:04:53.000This might mean that another power struggle is imminent.
00:04:57.000It could mean another bid to replace Putin.
00:04:59.000Or it could mean that if he dies, the struggle to become his successor will be much more chaotic and violent.
00:05:04.000Now, something the West will not tell you about Putin is that Putin is actually not the most radical voice in all of the Kremlin.
00:05:12.000There are hyper-Russian nationalists that just say, why don't we just nuclear bomb Russia?
00:05:50.000Is that you have a 50-50 shot, and sometimes even worse than that, of actually getting a government that is as bad or even worse than what you currently are displacing.
00:06:03.000Regime change as an American foreign policy has been a staple over the last couple decades.
00:06:08.000So Putin, whatever you want to say bad about him, has tried to run Ukraine as a limited war with limited number of troops and limited spending by the Russian government.
00:06:16.000He has not treated it as an existential conflict for Russia, but there are people inside Russia who think that it is.
00:06:23.000Now, this is really important: that what we saw happen in Russia this last weekend, first and foremost, is what a real insurrection looks like.
00:06:31.000So I'm going to first connect it to domestic politics.
00:06:34.000Tanks, military leaders, central planning, roadblocks being formed up.
00:06:39.000Yeah, that's an actual insurrection, not a bunch of people that get overly excited or passionate in a riot outside the U.S. Capitol where grandmas are going into the Capitol Rotunda and taking selfies.
00:06:54.000Wagner was Russia's most effective fighting force.
00:06:58.000This would be a real insurrection of the United States would have been on January 6th if actual paramilitary units, not the oath keepers, with weapons.
00:07:07.000How do you have an insurrection with no weapons?
00:07:13.000This is important as we loosely throw around the insurrection term.
00:07:16.000It's also equally important as they're going to try to indict Donald Trump under seditious conspiracy or insurrection.
00:07:24.000All we have to do is look at what just happened in Russia and say, no, that's actually seditious conspiracy and insurrection.
00:07:32.000So since this was actually an insurrection, unarmed Wagner troops, ground troops, occupied the Russian capitol building and milled around a bit.
00:07:40.000Oh, wait, no, because that's not what you do in a real insurrection.
00:07:45.000No, Wagners did not go into the Russian capital building and start taking selfies and start, you know, wondering if they were the QAnon shaman over the Senate.
00:09:02.000But what no one ever wants to admit, again, because they all act like they're experts, which we don't even pretend like we're experts, but we see things honestly and real, is that usually when you have strong men of balkanized countries, they're usually keeping a coalition in check of even more radical people, like Bashar al-Assad or Saddam Hussein or Moamar Gaddafi or Vladimir Putin.
00:09:27.000Strong men who are not to be admired for virtue or for their goodness.
00:09:33.000However, you replace them, you have a vacuum, and that vacuum very well might be filled with absolute maniacs that then might have control of the Russian arsenal.
00:09:45.000So Vladimir Putin, this is a blow to his power and his international credibility.
00:09:52.000But I encourage you to fall short of calling for the collapse of the Putin government because you might get something far, far worse.
00:10:04.000The 4th of July is right around the corner.
00:10:06.000And the people, my favorite people at Good Ranchers, want you to know about their Independence Day deals.
00:10:12.000For the next 16 days, Good Ranchers will be offering the best deals to give you freedom from having to go to the meat aisle at your local grocery store.
00:10:20.000You can revolutionize the way you buy meat during their huge July 4th sale starting today.
00:10:25.000Don't miss out on this opportunity to start buying only meat that was raised here in America.
00:10:30.000And also to start eating the best quality meats you've ever tasted.
00:10:34.000I'm telling you right now, it's hard to win any harder than that.
00:10:38.000When you go to goodranchers.com today, you're going to get an awesome deal on the best beef, chicken, and seafood, all of it raised in America.
00:11:33.000So while the Russian government faces an actual insurrection, Merrick Garland in our own government has certainly been acting like a Russian mob boss, covering up crimes, lying to Congress.
00:11:50.000As the chief law enforcement officer, he's far from gained or earned the trust of the American people.
00:11:56.000And now Speaker McCarthy says he will start the impeachment of the Attorney General, Merrick Garland, by July 6th.
00:12:14.000However, it is awfully convenient for a war-obsessed media to have what happened in Russia this last weekend while the Biden regime is facing its greatest domestic corruption challenge.
00:12:40.000So will this prompt you to do an impeachment inquiry?
00:12:44.000Well, you apparently don't follow me on Twitter because yesterday I laid out very, very clearly by July 6th, because of the allegations from the IRS, because of the whistleblowers and the DOJ, Garland, what he is saying and what David Weiss are saying privately are two different things.
00:13:02.000And if it comes true what the IRS whistleblower is saying, we're going to start impeachment inquiries on the Attorney General.
00:13:10.000You have to go after the roster of the people.
00:13:12.000And let me, I tweeted this this weekend as I was getting caught up.
00:13:16.000I think that this House Republican group, they have definitely disappointed many of you and many of us in certain ways.
00:13:24.000But it is noteworthy that six months since they took the majority, in six months, they have been able to get as much evidence as they have on Merrick Garland and Joe Biden.
00:13:35.000You might say, oh, Charlie, that doesn't matter.
00:13:37.000No, it absolutely matters is there has to be some form of justice.
00:13:42.000At some point, you have to call these people out.
00:13:44.000And I was talking to some Democrats this weekend, some very wealthy seasoned Democrats that I just happen to kind of be in the same room as.
00:13:54.000And there is finally some doubt in Democrat circles.
00:14:00.000And there's also some movements, and I have some sources in these camps.
00:14:05.000There's some movements in the Gavin Newsom camp.
00:14:09.000There's some movements in the J.B. Pritzker camp.
00:14:14.000There are some movements in the kind of Democrat competitor landscape.
00:14:20.000And something very strange happened Friday afternoon.
00:14:24.000And we weren't broadcasting Friday afternoon.
00:14:27.000The media actually started to do their job.
00:14:30.000You could tell a lot by how the media cover stories based on whether or not they've been given permission by the gatekeepers, by the Mockingbird folks.
00:15:49.000They might cover it up or he might not survive it.
00:15:52.000But I think the important part is the doubt.
00:15:55.000There very well might be some very ambitious Democrats.
00:15:59.000I know this for certain in the Gavin Newsom world and in the J.B. Pritzker world and even the Kamala Harris world that this is reaching an indefensible point for Joe Biden.
00:16:11.000I'm sitting here with my dad and if we don't get paid and boom, now we have photo evidence that he was with his dad and that zing, a wire arrives, wire transfer, $5 million.
00:16:23.000Could it be that Joe Biden is going to be removed by the very shadow government?
00:17:25.000They do all the work and share a percentage of the cash they get you.
00:17:28.000Businesses of all types, including nonprofits and churches, can qualify, including those who took PPP loans, even if you had an increase in sales.
00:17:36.000You did the difficult thing for your employees during the virus.
00:17:40.000Let covidtaxrelief.org help you get up to $26,000 per employee.
00:18:23.000I've been doing the Sabbath with the phone.
00:18:26.000And now I do mine, but I typically do it on Sundays where I stay out.
00:18:31.000And so when I was all up on Saturday paying attention to all this, and I said, Charlie, it looks like there's one of these Russian mercenaries went rogue, decided to take a run on Moscow.
00:18:43.000He got turned back very quickly, and he's headed to Belarus now.
00:18:49.000And that is in one sentence, essentially what happened.
00:18:52.000But the kicker here, Charlie, is that with the exception of myself and the other guys on War Room on Saturday morning for the Saturday show, everyone in mainstream media from Fox to CNN to MSNBC said this was going to be the beginning of the end for Russia.
00:19:09.000A civil war was about to break out, that everything was coming loose.
00:19:14.000Putin's entire regime is flying off the skids.
00:19:18.000And it just really interested me because these are people like Michael McFowell, like Peter Zihan, like, you know, even Malcolm Nance and some of these guys, who supposedly have been studying this for decades and decades.
00:19:35.000In fact, McFowl, of course, served as our ambassador to Russia at one point.
00:19:41.000And all of them got this completely wrong, didn't have any understanding of what's going on in there.
00:19:48.000And then Oliver Darcy, which I thought was hilarious, came out saying, you know, at times like this, I really wish that Elon would take away those blue checks from allowing anyone to just buy one because CNN needs to find, you know, good sources of information from Twitter.
00:20:04.000And I said, wait a minute, you're CNN.
00:20:07.000Shouldn't you guys have sources like all over Russia?
00:20:10.000Shouldn't you guys be on the ground doing actual reporting on both sides?
00:20:14.000Like, I don't know, like a news organization would, but you're not.
00:20:18.000You're just reading Twitter and Telegram like everybody else.
00:20:22.000And unfortunately, Charlie, that's what led them to these insane levels of just bewildering comments, pulling their hair out over the weekend saying Russia's completely falling apart.
00:20:35.000When instead, what did end up happening was, as we said, the guy got turned around, sent out to Belarus.
00:20:42.000The other mercenaries are now being folded back into the Russian army.
00:20:46.000And Charlie, it is like I pulled up, opened my Machiavelli this morning.
00:20:51.000Mercenaries show no fear of God nor fidelity toward man.
00:21:06.000But I think one immediate takeaway from my analysis when I saw this was that I saw these massive tanks and legit military force being threatened.
00:21:15.000And I thought to myself, well, that's a real insurrection.
00:21:17.000And Jack, we were totally on the same page.
00:21:20.000We were completely harmonized because you said something very, very similar.
00:21:24.000So, Jack, how is that attempted coup and insurrection that we saw this last weekend kind of just make what happened on January 6th, just see what it actually is, which is an out-of-control riot with a couple numbskulls and almost everybody else being peaceful and taking selfies?
00:21:41.000So, Charlie, it's going to be very hard for Merrick Garland and Jack Smith and the DOJ and Nancy Pelosi and everyone else to come out and claim that January 6th was itself an insurrection after this,
00:22:00.000because we all just saw, we all just saw with our own two eyes what an actual armed insurrection, no, it didn't end up being one, but what it should look like, right?
00:22:13.000We saw the military cordons wrapped around the building.
00:22:17.000We saw the, you know, a military general type figure giving orders, making statements, making demands against the government, saying that he was going to target Moscow, saying that he was going to target the Capitol, that he was on his way in, that he was on his way to the Capitol.
00:22:34.000It's going to be very hard for them to keep up the big lie, and it is the big lie, that January 6th was an insurrection.
00:22:42.000Because now, even subconsciously, the people on the left, because they were the ones, all right, they've walked themselves into a corner now because they were the ones claiming this is the end of Russia.
00:22:58.000So if that's what a government overthrow looks like, then how can you claim that a couple of Mimos running around the Capitol respecting the velvet ropes of Statuary Hall and admittedly some people rioting, getting into Fistakovs, is anywhere near the same level of thing that we're talking about?
00:23:19.000So, subconsciously, they've actually destroyed their entire argument because the media has already set the bar for what an insurrection was supposed to be.
00:23:28.000But it's like they forgot, they forgot the entire year of propaganda they've been pushing on us regarding January 6th rather than simply talk about it, what the truthful situation was.
00:23:41.000That there was, and admittedly, there are a lot of questions about what happened.
00:23:45.000There were a lot of mistakes, doors were left open.
00:23:48.000There are questions surrounding certain individuals that were urging people to go into the uh go into the Capitol.
00:23:55.000And of course, a bunch of the memes, Charlie, I'll have to send them to you that were flying around on Saturday showed, of course, Ray Epp riding along in one of the tanks saying, We need to go into the Kremlin.
00:24:12.000It goes to show what an actual insurrection is, which again, if people started showing up with tanks and mercenary units, I think that everything would have been handled differently.
00:24:22.000But they need to lie about January 6th.
00:24:24.000They need to exaggerate it because it makes them more powerful.
00:24:27.000Jack, I want to shift gears for a second here with you and talk about the potential domestic regime change.
00:24:33.000I've been hearing little whispers, Jack, little things in the ether.
00:24:38.000And I'm sure you've been picking up on vibrations too, Jack, that J.B. Pritzker and Gavin Newsome and Gretchen Whitmer are even just starting to do a little bit more visits to Iowa and Lincoln Reagan Day.
00:24:51.000Well, they don't do those, whatever, transgender dinners or whatever it might be.
00:24:55.000Jack, do you think that there is a chance that if this does not go well for Biden this summer by Labor Day, there might be a Democrat primary or is the regime going to go all in on Joe Biden, Jack Bosobic?
00:25:07.000Charlie, I've been, I'm long Joe Biden in the sense that I think they will have him as the candidate if they have to prop him up with a stick.
00:25:15.000Joe Biden is a known quantity to a lot of voters.
00:25:19.000People remember him from being Obama's wingman that helps him with certain areas of the country, certain areas of the Democrat electorate.
00:25:26.000And when you talk about putting in someone like a Gavin Newsom, someone who is not really a known quantity outside of California, of course, he's been starting with that, starting to kind of come out more.
00:25:37.000He's getting into his back and forth with Ron DeSantis and others, that they are playing it very smart.
00:25:44.000And I'll put it this way: DeSantis, of course, comes out and says he's going to primary Trump and he's going to go directly after him.
00:25:51.000Now, Trump's not the sitting president, but of course, he is essentially the immediate former president.
00:25:56.000And of course, the frontrunner and has always been the frontrunner in the race.
00:26:00.000So what Newsom has done is actually quite clever because what he's doing is going to the Democrat overlord, the Democrat power bosses, because he understands how the Democrat system works.
00:26:19.000They have these massive dark money groups run by Arab Lake Alarfella Investors and the Tides Foundation.
00:26:25.000And they have all the Soros groups, et cetera, et cetera.
00:26:29.000Alex Soros, we're told, is going to be getting into politics more, Reim Powell Jobs, Reid Hoffman, whatever.
00:26:35.000So he's saying, look, I'm not going to go the full RFK route and actually try to primary someone from within my own party, which, by the way, is a Kennedy tradition.
00:26:45.000If you consider RFK's uncle, Ted Kennedy, primarily sitting Democrat president Jimmy Carter in the primary of 1980.
00:26:53.000But what Newsom is doing is he's standing right on the sidelines saying, hey, guys, I'm right here if you need me.
00:27:01.000I'm right here if you want to put me in.
00:27:17.000I do think, though, that Joe Biden is keeping the coalition together.
00:27:21.000As long as Donald Trump is running for the presidency, all these Democrat mob families are going to get along.
00:27:26.000If Donald Trump ever leaves the picture in some way, shape, or form, there is going to be a brutal red-winning Game of Thrones, absolutely just, let's just say, nasty and very, very medieval civil war in the Democrat primary.
00:27:45.000But as long as Trump is still running, all of them have decided to kind of sit this out and wait for permission.
00:27:57.000Is there a more irresponsible Republican senator than Lindsey Graham?
00:28:02.000How has Lindsey Graham's neoconservative fetish worked the last 20 years?
00:28:09.000Regime change in Iraq, regime change in Libya, regime change attempted in Syria, regime change even in Egypt, which was clumsy.
00:28:20.000Lindsey Graham is now calling for Vladimir Putin, has been calling for Vladimir Putin to be removed.
00:28:26.000He's only going to intensify those calls.
00:28:29.000He's been calling for an outward assassination of Vladimir Putin.
00:28:33.000And so here's another interesting question: if Vladimir Putin is facing a mutiny and a potential insurrection domestically and his country might be folding against him or government or whatever, and again, anyone who pretends they know Russian politics is super strange, okay?
00:30:54.000Well, if you get rid of Joe Biden, what's going to fill that void in the Democrat Party?
00:31:01.000Much more talented, potentially exciting politician.
00:31:05.000Joe Biden's superpower is he doesn't excite anybody.
00:31:08.000Imagine someone that could actually make you feel something at a speech that could actually do the Obama thing with their mail-in balloting and signature verification issues.
00:31:17.000And you've got a serious Democrat machine that's been built, plus a talented politician.
00:31:23.000You're going to have some trouble there.
00:31:29.000Impeachment of Joe Biden is seriously on the table, and I think we should pursue it.
00:31:34.000Now, again, there is a chance sometimes when you do regime change, you get something that is actually more advantageous.
00:31:40.000So Kamala Harris could be that something.
00:31:44.000Kamala Harris, I think, actually could be easier to beat than Joe Biden.
00:31:48.000But it also goes to show that anybody who is guaranteeing you what the outcome will be if we displace Putin or take out Biden, it is a mystery.
00:31:57.000It is several sequences of randomness that occur when you remove a leader of a country.
