00:01:32.000Joe Biden has now said he is sending 3,000 troops to the Ukrainian region or Eastern Europe to try and defray Vladimir Putin.
00:01:44.000Leaked documents reveal Biden's Afghan failures from Jonathan Swan from Axios.com.
00:01:50.000Hours before the Taliban seized control of Kabul on August 15, 2021, senior Biden administration officials were still discussing and assigning basic actions involved in mass civilian evacuation.
00:02:03.000So I'm going to connect what's happening in Eastern Europe right now with the Afghanistan debacle.
00:02:09.000Outsiders were frustrated and suspicious.
00:02:11.000The administration was having plenty of meetings, but was stuck in bureaucratic inertia and lacked urgency until the last minute.
00:02:19.000While the world word immediately peppers the internal documents, it's clear officials were still scrambling to finalize their plans.
00:02:27.000Now, first of all, we only have these information because someone is leaking on Biden.
00:02:34.000Right here in my hands, streaming on rumble.com, not on YouTube, but standing in solidarity with Dan Bongino, R-U-M-B-L-E.com, streaming on Rumble this week.
00:02:42.000The National Security Council, someone is leaking these internal documents.
00:02:50.000And basically, it shows that the Biden regime had no idea what they were doing when it came to trying to withdraw from Afghanistan.
00:02:58.000We knew that, obviously, with the 13 dead Marines and the Taliban taking over the country at rapid pace.
00:03:05.000For example, they just decided they needed to notify local Afghan staff to, quote, to begin to register their interest in the relocation to the United States.
00:03:14.000And they were still determining which countries could serve as transit points for evacuees.
00:03:21.000So someone in the Department of Defense wants to try to set the record straight when it comes to the Biden bureaucratic nonsense that led to this.
00:03:30.000So we knew Afghanistan was a disaster.
00:03:32.000We knew this administration could not even pull a simple withdrawal from a country successfully while lying about it and giving us, at the time, a line of nonsense saying, oh, no, no, we got it all figured out.
00:03:51.000So if this administration can't get American citizens out of Afghanistan, why on earth should we believe that they could fight Vladimir Putin?
00:04:02.000If this administration gets too mucked up with bureaucratic inertia, to use Axios' word, with trying to keep the goatherder child predators that call themselves Taliban leaders that are stuck in the 12th century, why do we think that we can stare down Russia?
00:04:23.000That's just one of many reasons why you should be infuriated by the new news that Biden is really, he's really upset about the eastern border of Ukraine.
00:04:35.000So for those of you keeping score at home, how many troops has Biden deployed to the southern border?
00:04:42.000Now, I will be probably visiting the southern border next week.
00:04:44.000I don't even know if Connor knows this or not, or Andrew, but we're working on that, some very exciting things.
00:06:04.000The Winter Olympics are coming right around the corner.
00:06:06.000I do not think that Vladimir Putin is going to invade Ukraine, especially during an international spectacle like the Olympics.
00:06:16.000I think instead, though, Vladimir Putin wants to test whether or not Western forces are willing to sacrifice a country that is not yet in NATO.
00:06:28.000They consider Ukraine to be a NATO ally.
00:06:31.000Now, do I think Russia and Ukraine are moral equivalents?
00:06:35.000Do I think Ukraine is a corrupt country?
00:06:45.000And why American troops need to be sent 5,000 miles away to go defend the sovereignty of another nation while our own country is under attack and being invaded?
00:06:54.000Now, the line that many people in Washington, D.C. are using is, oh, no, those are two separate issues.
00:07:10.000Politico had an article yesterday that was so stunning.
00:07:16.000GOP to Tucker Carlson were the decision makers on Ukraine, not you.
00:07:23.000John Cornyn from Texas, who I actually know is a nice guy, says, quote, he's obviously not in a position of being responsible for those decisions, and we are.
00:07:34.000So let me just give some advice to John Cornyn and the other Republican senators who decided to go to Politico of all places to attack Tucker Carlson.
00:07:42.000It's not about Tucker Carlson, by the way.
00:07:43.000It's about the voters and the people that watch Tucker Carlson.
00:07:46.000You realize it's super unpopular what you Republican senators are doing right now.
00:08:03.000We have double-digit inflation, 107,000, 100-plus,000 fentanyl overdose deaths, most suicidal, alcohol-addicted, tech-addicted generation in history.
00:08:13.000And the priority of Republican senators is whether or not some arbitrary line drawn in like the beginning stages of Siberia is being enforced.
00:08:23.000Yeah, that's called a priority problem.
00:08:28.000Fox News Primetime hosts, according to Politico and others on the far right.
00:08:31.000Oh, yeah, they call Tucker Carlson far right, sure, have excused and even rationalized Russia's aggression towards Ukraine.
00:08:37.000First of all, there is no aggression towards Ukraine.
00:09:12.000They say, oh, yeah, Tucker is this like Pied Piper and this puppet master and all these simpletons and flyover country are now really fired up.
00:09:19.000No, no, no, it's the other way around.
00:09:21.000Tucker actually knows what they believe and he's articulating it in a way that is concise and clear.
00:09:29.000In a way that could undermine Republicans' efforts to emphasize cross-party unity.
00:10:19.000You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.
00:10:21.000They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year.
00:10:29.000If you're struggling with back pain, neck pain, shoulder, hip, or knee pain, even general muscle aches and pain, then I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start, still discounted, only $19.95.
00:10:57.000So if you wanted to fight a war with Russia, which would be really dumb, you'd probably want as many people in the military as possible.
00:11:04.000You'd also probably want morale to be high.
00:11:08.000Breaking the last couple hours, U.S. Army begins discharging soldiers who refuse COVID-19 vaccine.
00:11:15.000U.S. soldiers who refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine will be immediately discharged, the U.S. Army said on Wednesday, saying the move was critical to maintain combat readiness.
00:11:26.000Oh, so to maintain combat readiness, we need to discharge the people that have been in our military for years, some for a couple decades, because they're not inoculated against the virus, even though the vaccine is showing to be leaky, ineffective, and at times detrimental to people's health.
00:11:47.000The discharge order is the latest from a U.S. military branch removing unvaccinated service members amid the pandemic.
00:11:55.000The Pentagon made the vaccine mandatory for all service members in August 2021.
00:12:03.000But don't worry, Republican senators are on the case of trying to go to war with Russia.
00:12:08.000So where are the Republican senators that are threatening to shut down the government over the fact that our veterans and our active service members are being forced to get a vaccine against their will?
00:12:24.000Why are Republican senators going along with this?
00:12:27.000Oh, they're too busy talking to Politico, trashing Tucker Carlson.
00:12:32.000Now, this is not about Tucker Carlson.
00:14:05.000Senator Jim Risch, who I've met a couple times, who's also a nice person, continues to saber-rattle against Russia.
00:14:14.000Marco Rubio said Tucker Carlson is wrong, said the U.S. interest, not just in Europe, but around the world, is not having countries decide.
00:15:02.000We don't care about other countries nearly as much, nor should we.
00:15:06.000And at least, at worst, putting pressure on Republican elected officials to, in effect, take Russia's side.
00:15:12.000Never has anyone said to take Russia's side.
00:15:16.000You know the only side that Tucker and this show and Steve Bannon's show and Donald Trump and the tens of millions Americans, you know what side they want to take?
00:15:26.000We want our own country to be put first for once.
00:15:32.000Senator John Cornyn, a member of the bipartisan group crafting legislation to sanction Moscow and support Kiev, dismissed Carlson's criticisms and said the crisis goes beyond just Ukraine.
00:15:42.000Of course, obviously it's like a world war.
00:18:57.000There's plenty of things Vladimir Putin wants that we could provide in exchange for a non-aggression pact, like don't invade Ukraine, don't go after Crimea.
00:19:08.000But we're going to need your help in a variety of different ways to restrain the Chinese.
00:19:31.000He wrote time and time again that a nation should not go to war if the nation is not in vast majority of it, in popularity of it, willing to see it through, and also if there are not other pressing domestic issues at hand.
00:19:52.000An international war can divert resources, energy, morale, and especially after, let's pretend we go to war, okay?
00:20:01.000Let's pretend it's a great idea, which it isn't.
00:20:04.000Do you have faith that this administration would actually make the strategic decisions necessary to protect our troops?
00:20:12.000Let's just make that argument for a second.
00:20:14.000Okay, let's pretend all these Republican senators are right.
00:20:39.000Then, do you trust this administration actually to go to war?
00:20:43.000That's a totally different argument, by the way, but it's a good one.
00:20:46.000Do you trust this administration to bring your son, your daughter, your neighbor, your fellow countrymen into Siberia?
00:20:55.000Here's just another kind of word to the wise: stay out of Russia in the winter.
00:20:58.000I mean, this is not exactly like breaking news.
00:21:03.000You know, when you take a Hillsdale online course by Victor Davis Hansen, basically like across the textbook is like stay out of Russia in winter.
00:21:10.000It's like one of the major takeaways, that amongst other things.
00:21:14.000But would you trust this administration, according to Axios, they can't even get diplomats out of Kabul from goat herders and child predators that are coming from the Kandahar Valley?
00:21:30.000We're supposed to believe that they're going to be able to make the decisions necessary to properly defend our own troops or at least not just defend their life, but make the decisions towards victory.
00:21:51.000The senators continue to write in the article, they say Representative Michael McCall, who is a congressman, says that Ukraine should have a right to self-determination if they want to join NATO.
00:22:09.000Now, what that means, if Ukraine joins NATO, according to Article 6, I think in NATO, Article 5 or Article 6, it's an attack on one, it's an attack on all.
00:22:19.000Do you really think that the cappuccino-sipping Italians and the wine-drinking French and the drug-using Dutch are going to drop all of their pleasure activities and go to arms against Russia because of a border dispute for Ukraine?
00:22:38.000That's what it would mean if Ukraine joined NATO.
00:22:41.000And that's what this whole exercise is about, just so we're clear.
00:22:44.000Vladimir Putin is mobilizing troops to the border because he wants to see whether or not Ukraine will actually be something that we are willing to draw a line over.
00:24:41.000I could see her on top of a tank leading people into battle.
00:24:46.000Michael Waltz says, if we don't support them, that sends a very clear message on top of Afghanistan and the debacle that was the withdrawal.
00:24:53.000I agree that, that the United States is no longer supporting its allies around the world.
00:25:53.000The issue at hand is a further redeployment of troops and an escalation of aggression in a far-out distant land so far away while we have mounting national crises.
00:26:06.000Several of them happening simultaneously.
00:26:12.000New York Times, U.S. troops to be deployed to NATO allies in Eastern Europe.
00:26:22.000They are going to ensure a robust defense of NATO allies.
00:26:26.000First 1,000 soldiers that are currently based in Germany will reposition to Romania in the coming days.
00:26:34.000Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Grushko sharply criticized the new transfer of U.S. troops to Europe by the Biden administration as a destructive move.
00:26:46.000And if you're wondering what that sound is in your ear, that's Vladimir Putin having a conference call with Xi Jinping as they are now forming the new Axis.
00:27:00.000It's important that we send a strong signal to Mr. Putin and the world that NATO matters.
00:27:55.000We're getting emails like you wouldn't believe, people that do not want escalated conflict in Eastern Europe.
00:28:04.000And that's the other thing, is that do not deploy troops if you are not willing to see it all the way through.
00:28:09.000If you are not willing to see hundreds of thousands of people die of our own citizens, don't play the game.
00:28:20.000Beijing, as the United States moves to exert maximal pressure on Russia over fears of a Ukrainian invasion, President Vladimir Putin in Russia has found relief from his most powerful partner on the global stage, China.
00:29:05.000Well, war can give you attention, relevancy.
00:29:09.000Wag the dog, as we have called it many times.
00:29:12.000It's not our phrase, but it is a movie that kind of goes through these sorts of themes.
00:29:19.000There's something happening with Biden and how he is being treated by the deep state and also by the power centers in the country.
00:29:29.000So if you look at who has power in the country outside of government, outside of Fauci, outside of the CIA and the FBI, there are two institutions that really steer the zeitgeist in the country more than any other.
00:29:42.000And that would be the New York Times and Harvard.
00:29:45.000One academic, pseudo-academic, and one media.
00:30:25.000The New York Times sues State Department for emails related to Hunter Biden, the Romanian embassy, and whether the United States helped push his personal business interests.
00:30:37.000The lawsuit filed Monday in Manhattan court seeks emails dating 2015 to 2019.
00:30:45.000The New York Times engaging in this kind of a lawsuit is not a one-off thing.
00:30:56.000Now, the reason could be that they might be doing pretend journalism where actually something doesn't exist.
00:31:01.000And this could just be going through the exercises of them being like, oh, no, no, we looked into that, even though they should be looking into five other stories.
00:31:08.000Or the New York Times might be in the beginning stages of trying to send a warning shot to Biden where they're trying to get Biden's attention.
00:31:19.000In the last couple of days, the IRS has issued a subpoena to J.P. Morgan Chase in connection to bank transactions that involved Hunter Biden and his Chinese business deals.
00:31:31.000Interestingly, simultaneous when Peter Schweitzer releases that book red-handed, and we had him on our show, the deep state is leaking on Joe Biden, and the New York Times is suing the State Department for Hunter Biden's records and emails.
00:31:48.000Well, it's becoming more clear that they do not want or believe that Joe Biden will be around for much longer.
00:31:57.000That they're trying to signal to him, like, hey, pal, your numbers are getting low.
00:32:01.000There's more than one way to get rid of you here.
00:32:05.000And the reason could be as simple as bad poll numbers and electability, or it could also be something as Joe Biden being the temporary bridge president, as we've described him, as they want to make sure there's more than one way to keep him in his box.
00:32:27.000The New York Times has sued the State Department for dragging its feet and handing over emails from the Romanian embassy officials connected to Hunter Biden and his famed former business associate, Tony Bob Yulinsky.
00:32:39.000The lawsuit filed Monday in Manhattan federal court seeks emails dating 2015 to 2019.
00:32:44.000The Times alleges that the State Department is failing to address its Freedom of Information Act request in a timely manner.
00:32:51.000When the Times asked, the State Department said it would get around to the request, and the paper was told an answer by April 15, 2023.
00:33:00.000Interesting, interestingly specific date, tax day 2023.
00:33:06.000The Times appears to be looking into whether embassy personnel did any special favors on behalf of business officials, including the president's son and Bob Yelensky.
00:33:16.000Joe Biden was serving as vice president for the two years the emails cover, 2015 to 2016.
00:33:25.000Why would the New York Times be doing this?
00:33:28.000Well, there very well might be a plan in place in real time to remove Biden.
00:33:37.000And maybe Biden is trying to compensate by trying to drum up some sort of conflict that can keep him in place or to try to resurrect his plummeting poll numbers.
00:33:49.000And interesting that all within a couple of days, you have subpoenas going after businesses connected to Hunter Biden.
00:33:55.000You have the New York Times suing the State Department for business deals with Hunter Biden.
00:33:59.000And you have the National Security Council apparatus, the entire national security apparatus leaking on Joe Biden about his failings with Afghanistan.
