The Charlie Kirk Show - Who Destroyed Nord Stream 2? With Benny Johnson, Jack Posobiec and Erik Fox

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:00:02.000 We have some live coverage of the hurricane with Benny Johnson.

00:00:05.000 We pray he remains safe.

00:00:07.000 Very scary what's happening in Florida.

00:00:09.000 It's a serious storm.

00:00:10.000 It really is.

00:00:11.000 And then also, we speculate a little bit here about Nord Stream 2 with Jack Pasobic.

00:00:17.000 Email me your thoughts as always.

00:00:51.000 We go.

00:00:52.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:54.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:56.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:59.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:02.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:03.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:04.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:01:13.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:22.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:24.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.

00:01:33.000 There's a lot happening.

00:01:35.000 First, our prayers and our thoughts for everyone in the way of Hurricane Ian.

00:01:39.000 I was actually supposed to be in Florida today, and I am not in Florida today.

00:01:44.000 When we saw what was happening there, we canceled a lot of different things.

00:01:48.000 And we are now here in Phoenix, Arizona, obviously.

00:01:51.000 And Longboat Key, Sarasota, Tampa, they are just getting hammered right now.

00:01:57.000 It's no joke.

00:01:59.000 And in fact, the Rumble headquarters, R-U-M-B-L-E.com, is right there.

00:02:04.000 And they're saying 155 mile an hour wins.

00:02:07.000 And I have a lot of family there.

00:02:09.000 I know a lot of people there.

00:02:10.000 And we don't know how this is going to end up.

00:02:12.000 So I just pray that the carnage and the suffering is limited.

00:02:16.000 And I say that because there's going to be carnage and suffering.

00:02:18.000 You don't have 150 mile an hour winds.

00:02:20.000 But I pray that it's just property damage that can be repaired and that people stay safe.

00:02:26.000 It's no joke.

00:02:27.000 I know some people actually that were messaging me saying that they were going to stay throughout the storm.

00:02:31.000 And I said, I don't know if that's wise or prudent.

00:02:33.000 This is not a 50 or 60 mile an hour thing.

00:02:36.000 Kind of in Florida, there is sometimes a culture of, oh, they always say the storm is going to be worse than it actually is.

00:02:43.000 Well, I just really, I don't know how wise that is because all it has to be is right once for you to be wrong and to have some serious damage happen.

00:02:52.000 So we're going to have a we're going to have a report from Frontlines on that in just a second.

00:03:00.000 But I want to get to the Nord Stream story.

00:03:02.000 The Nord Stream topic has always perplexed me.

00:03:05.000 I never understood why there was a pipeline in the first place that was approved from Russia to Germany and to all of Europe.

00:03:14.000 I never understood that.

00:03:16.000 It was never explained to me why it was okay to import natural gas, fossil fuels from a country that our own intelligence agency says it's our greatest enemy.

00:03:27.000 And I'm no fan of Russia.

00:03:29.000 I'm no fan of Vladimir Putin.

00:03:30.000 But I do not think our posture towards Russia and looking at them as a geopolitical sworn enemy of the United States right now is anything.

00:03:39.000 I don't think it's prudent.

00:03:40.000 I don't think it's smart.

00:03:41.000 I don't think it's mature.

00:03:43.000 Churchill had the best predisposition towards Russia.

00:03:47.000 He didn't like them.

00:03:48.000 He understood them.

00:03:49.000 He knew that they were brutal.

00:03:50.000 He knew they were gangsters, but he needed them to defeat a greater evil at the time.

00:03:57.000 I think that we could learn a lot from Churchill of how he handled Russia and how we very well could have a temporary real politic alliance with Russia, understanding that they're gangsters, they're godless, they act as if they're soulless, and they're not exactly a moral government, but they could be very helpful in the coming conflict against the Chinese Communist Party anyway. 0.90

00:04:19.000 Never made any sense to me, though, why the United States Intelligence Agency simultaneously tells us that fossil fuels are the worst thing ever, that you guys all need to have electric cars, you need to get rid of your SUVs, that Russia's the worst thing ever, and they allowed this project to be built from mainland Russia to Germany.

00:04:38.000 By the way, there's plenty of natural gas in the Scandinavian countries.

00:04:42.000 There's plenty of natural gas in pockets of Germany, but this is the same sort of very inexplicable walking contradiction of the American ruling class, which is we hate the thing, but we're okay getting the thing from people that we're supposed to hate.

00:05:01.000 How does that work exactly?

00:05:03.000 So we hate natural gas, we hate oil, we hate fossil fuels, but we're okay getting that and importing that from a country that is a sworn enemy of the United States. 0.92

00:05:15.000 Okay, so this was built from Russia to Germany.

00:05:18.000 It never made any sense to me why it was built.

00:05:20.000 No one ever explained to me why the United States could not at least help with the supply of natural gas to Europe.

00:05:27.000 The only explanation was a logistical explanation, which is understandable, thousands of miles away, not easy to build a pipeline across an ocean, but there's other ways to transport natural gas.

00:05:37.000 You could do it through barge or carrier, other ways.

00:05:39.000 Not exactly the most efficient way, but still, why you have to go through Russia, it almost created the preconditions for a massive geopolitical explosion. 0.56

00:05:51.000 But guess what?

00:05:52.000 Yesterday, there was a massive geopolitical explosion.

00:05:56.000 Yesterday, Nordstream, in the middle of the ocean, the pipeline was sabotaged.

00:06:01.000 It was sabotaged with military sophistication that could only be attributed to a major industrialized country.

00:06:09.000 This was not a bunch of dolphins or fish that went out of their way and all of a sudden the pipeline falls apart.

00:06:15.000 This was underwater, TNT, hyper-sophisticated explosive devices that was done, as Tucker beautifully put it last night, an act of industrial sabotage.

00:06:28.000 So Nordstream is in a lot of ways the lifeblood of part of the Russian economy.

00:06:33.000 The Russian economy operates on oil, natural gas, petrodollar.

00:06:39.000 And so the immediate kind of consensus out of the intelligence agency is that the Russian government did this.

00:06:46.000 The Russian government is the one that destroyed their own pipeline.

00:06:50.000 Now, that could be true. 0.99

00:06:52.000 The Russians are gangsters. 1.00

00:06:54.000 They're known to be liars and cheats in a lot of different ways. 0.99

00:06:58.000 So I'm not dismissing that.

00:07:00.000 But is that the most rational explanation?

00:07:04.000 Does all the mounting evidence building into this particular moment point towards the idea that the Russian government would go destroy their own economic lifeblood right now?

00:07:16.000 Because leading up to this, we have evidence of evidence of evidence on evidence, evidence, on evidence, of first Joe Biden in Cut 83 saying that if Russia invades Ukraine, we're going to bring an end to this pipeline.

00:07:31.000 Play Cut 83.

00:07:33.000 If Germany, if Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the border of Ukraine again, then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2.

00:07:50.000 We will bring an end to it.

00:07:52.000 But how will you do that?

00:07:56.000 Exactly.

00:07:57.000 Since the project and control of the project is within Germany's control.

00:08:02.000 We will, I promise you, we'll be able to do it.

00:08:07.000 That's awfully cryptic.

00:08:09.000 I promise you we'll be able to do it.

00:08:12.000 Now, Joe Biden probably said something publicly that was not a gaffe, but he said something that he did not mean to say.

00:08:19.000 Some intelligence briefing, some sort of plan that was launched.

00:08:24.000 I don't know.

00:08:25.000 I'm just speculating.

00:08:26.000 And that's all this is, is pure speculation.

00:08:29.000 Because to say that the United States government was the driving force or the planner behind what was just happened, which is international economic energy terrorism yesterday, is an act of war.

00:08:45.000 If the United States government was behind this, and I'm not saying they are, I'm asking a question, then that is an act of war against Russia.

00:08:54.000 Have we thought this through?

00:08:55.000 Well, Victoria Newland, who is one of the worst people in the United States government, says if Russia invades Ukraine, one way or the other, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.

00:09:05.000 What do they mean by this?

00:09:06.000 PlayCut 89.

00:09:08.000 With regard to Nord Stream 2, we continue to have very strong and clear conversations with our German allies.

00:09:17.000 And I want to be clear with you today.

00:09:20.000 If Russia invades Ukraine, one way or another, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.

00:09:28.000 Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.

00:09:30.000 So there's two Nord Streams.

00:09:32.000 There's the original Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2.

00:09:35.000 But now we know that this Nord Stream was destroyed.

00:09:38.000 This is going to create a further energy crisis in mainland Europe as we head into the colder and colder winter months.

00:09:48.000 So the United States government approved of the construction of this Russian pipeline just to then say that we're going to destroy it if Russia invades Ukraine?

00:09:59.000 These were underwater explosives with over a hundred pounds of TNT.

00:10:06.000 How many countries have a Navy sophisticated enough to pull this off?

00:10:12.000 No offense to the Germans.

00:10:14.000 I do not know if the Germans have a Navy that could pull this off. 0.95

00:10:17.000 The Brits certainly do.

00:10:19.000 The United Kingdom certainly does.

00:10:21.000 America certainly does.

00:10:23.000 And the Russians certainly do.

00:10:25.000 Just based on a pure military analysis, you know, Jack Posobic says the Germans could easily do it.

00:10:32.000 Fine.

00:10:34.000 Then he knows more about this than I do.

00:10:36.000 Maybe the Germans have a rising Navy that I'm unaware of.

00:10:40.000 But this is a very sophisticated military operation.

00:10:44.000 Who benefits from this?

00:10:45.000 There is a great old Latin phrase, koi bono.

00:10:51.000 To who benefits?

00:10:52.000 To who the benefit of the action?

00:10:54.000 That is the most operative question when you face chaos geopolitically.

00:10:59.000 Who benefits?

00:11:04.000 Look, in the good old days, we Americans argued about which policies to pursue to improve this beautiful country.

00:11:09.000 Charlie Kirk here.

00:11:10.000 Too often we find ourselves arguing about whether or not America is great or not, or whether we should be ashamed or whether we should love America.

00:11:18.000 The reason for this is simple.

00:11:20.000 For too many years, too many of our schools have been neglecting to teach young people about our great heritage of liberty, presenting them instead a dishonest narrative of America as a fundamentally unjust or racist country.

00:11:31.000 Hillsdale College is weighing in for America, the wonderful Hillsdale College, by offering a free online course, such as the Great American Story, A Land of Hope, Constitution 101, The Meaning of History of the Constitution.

00:11:43.000 As we get closer to Constitution Day, September 17th, I encourage all of you to enroll in one of these wonderful free courses from Hillsdale.

00:11:50.000 And even better, encourage your friends and family to sign up too.

00:11:52.000 Begin your Hillsdale course today at charlie4hillsdale.com.

00:11:56.000 That is charlie4hillsdale.com.

00:11:58.000 Check it out: charlie4hillsdale.com.

00:12:03.000 We got a couple things simultaneously happening.

00:12:05.000 We have some friends that are going to be calling in in the eye of the hurricane.

00:12:10.000 We have Benny Johnson, who's going to be calling in.

00:12:14.000 And we're going to play some tape with Benny, who's in Tampa, on how Democrats are promising that if we elect them in the midterms, they're going to get rid of hurricanes.

00:12:24.000 That's quite a campaign promise.

00:12:27.000 For years, we always say, oh, Democrats are going to promise the moon.

00:12:30.000 Not only are they promising that, they are promising an end to natural disasters.

00:12:37.000 Let's throw to Eric, who is in the hurricane right now from Weather Nation.

00:12:41.000 Eric, welcome to the program.

00:12:43.000 What are you seeing on the ground?

00:12:45.000 Walk us through it.

00:12:46.000 Well, this morning it started out as normal.

00:12:50.000 Now, we get in these storms.

00:12:52.000 It's kind of this false sense of security.

00:12:56.000 A lot of rain.

00:12:57.000 Wind isn't too bad.

00:12:58.000 But throughout today, it's really picked up.

00:13:01.000 I am on the outer edge of the eye wall.

00:13:03.000 We're getting gusts up over 100 miles per hour at this point.

00:13:08.000 It's near Port Charlotte is where I'm at on the bay.

00:13:11.000 And actually, all the water has been sucked out of the bay into the ocean.

00:13:15.000 And that's because of the way the winds are just pushing this water out.

00:13:18.000 But unfortunately, on the south side, that water is being pushed in in storm surge near Naples.

00:13:23.000 And then what we're expecting as the storm moves inland is that storm surge in the Port Charlotte area to come in and cause a lot of damage with storm surge.

00:13:31.000 That's going to be the story of this storm.

00:13:32.000 It's going to be the storm surge.

00:13:34.000 And of course, now we're looking at 155-ish mile per hour winds going to be coming throughout the west coast of Florida, especially between Port Charlotte and Naples.

00:13:44.000 And it's going to be devastating in this area.

00:13:46.000 You're already seeing anything, sheet metal, anything that's not down on the ground right now is flying around.

00:13:53.000 So that's actually why I'm in a vehicle.

00:13:55.000 It's not safe to be outside.

00:13:56.000 There's way too much debris flying already.

00:13:58.000 And the core of the hurricane is not even here yet.

00:14:00.000 Well, and 155 mile an hour winds, I mean, that could pick up your vehicle.

00:14:04.000 Maybe my physics are wrong there, but and so please stay safe.

00:14:09.000 How does this relate to previous hurricanes in the last decade on the west coast of Florida?

00:14:14.000 Have they seen anything like this in recent memory?

00:14:17.000 2004 was Hurricane Charlie, but the difference between Hurricane Charlie and this one is just the size.

00:14:22.000 You had a category four hurricane, but that hurricane was very small.

00:14:26.000 And so you didn't have the water pushed up online of land like you're going to have here.

00:14:32.000 This storm is just enormous.

00:14:34.000 And with this size of the storm, it's going to push the water way more than Charlie did.

00:14:39.000 So this is by far the most, I will say, large impacts on the west coast of Florida and probably since 1912-ish, from what I understand.

00:14:54.000 Geez, 1912, that's unbelievable.

00:14:57.000 So, I mean, I hate to ask this question in this way, but what is the prediction of the wreckage or the carnage?

00:15:04.000 I mean, we haven't seen anything like this in a very long time.

00:15:07.000 And from what I understand, the west coast of Florida is, they have some hurricane precautions, but nothing like the East Coast has.

00:15:15.000 Is that correct?

00:15:17.000 Hurricane Charlie in this area really helped them prepare for the next one.

00:15:21.000 A lot of the infrastructure is underground, especially electricity.

00:15:24.000 Believe it or not, we still have electricity and we've had wind gusts over 100 miles per hour.

00:15:27.000 So it did, they are a little more prepared.

00:15:30.000 But what where the difference is is the population.

00:15:33.000 The population of Florida has really grown in this area.

00:15:36.000 And unfortunately, there's a lot of people that's never been through a category four hurricane, especially as it's approaching category five hurricanes.

00:15:43.000 And so that's where my worry is: the people are not taking these wordings and unfortunately are going to be out in the storm and going to get in trouble.

00:15:53.000 Now, the structures, most of the Florida code, building code across the state, you know, like the governor, the governors in the past has mandated that these structures be built properly for these storms.

00:16:06.000 So, so far, if something like this along the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, Alabama, you would see structure damage already.

00:16:12.000 So far, we're not seeing that, but you're going to see that change with that 155 mile-an-hour winds.

00:16:17.000 You're going to really see that transition into damage of not only structures, but you're looking at catastrophic flooding.

00:16:25.000 This storm is really slowing down.

00:16:27.000 So, you're looking at flooding, storm surge, and then structural damage.

00:16:31.000 So, you know, to me, I'm not, I was on Hurricane Katrina.

00:16:35.000 I'm not going to compare that to that, to Hurricane Katrina yet, but you're looking at that type of devastation.

00:16:41.000 Geez, well, stay safe, Eric.

00:16:43.000 You're in the eye of the storm.

00:16:44.000 It's unbelievable.

00:16:45.000 So, stay safe.

00:16:46.000 Thank you so much for joining our program.

00:16:48.000 No problem.

00:17:45.000 Michael says, Charlie, you call Russia godless.

00:17:48.000 Under Putin, active churches in Russia have gone from 7,000 to 40,000.

00:17:52.000 That doesn't sound very godless to me.

00:17:55.000 So look, Mike, I hate to break it to you.

00:17:59.000 Russia is one of the most atheist countries in the world.

00:18:01.000 That very well might be true, but Russian atheism is a very, very strong thing.

00:18:06.000 And in fact, you look at religion in Russia, you very well might be right about a revival in Christianity, of which I highly doubt in some sense. 0.55

00:18:16.000 But the amount of atheists or the amount of non-religious people in Russia is a very considerable part of the population, extremely considerable.

00:18:25.000 And then he says, with all due respect, you sound like McCain, Graham, Pelosi, and Schumer.

00:18:30.000 Yeah, I don't know about that.

00:18:32.000 I don't think McCain, Graham, Pelosi, and Schumer are trying to tell you to have an alliance with Russia.

00:18:40.000 So listen more carefully.

00:18:42.000 So we've been against all that nonsense proxy war stuff in Ukraine.

00:18:47.000 Email me freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:18:49.000 We got Benny Johnson on the line, who is on the front lines in Tampa, Florida.

00:18:55.000 I just pray Benny doesn't get swept away.

00:18:58.000 Benny, how are you doing?

00:19:00.000 All right, here we go.

00:19:01.000 Charlie, hey, we are from the cell phone in the car.

00:19:05.000 We are on Tampa Bay, a place called Bay Shore right now.

00:19:09.000 Got my dad with me who's evacuated.

00:19:12.000 Forced evacuation here in Tampa.

00:19:14.000 And I am on my cell phone.

00:19:16.000 So please forgive the shaky footage.

00:19:18.000 We'll try best to film in selfie mode, something I know quite a bit about.

00:19:21.000 So let's pop out here and we'll show you the conditions in Tampa Bay.

00:19:25.000 So, very windy right now in Tampa.

00:19:28.000 But what's craziest is not the wind, but rain in Tampa Bay.

00:19:35.000 Yeah, I think we're...

00:19:36.000 From the bay, it's out to sea.

00:19:39.000 And so you have no more bay, and you can see the rocks and sort of, you know, sort of like what would normally be inside of the bay all exposed.

00:19:48.000 There are people out there running around with their kids.

00:19:51.000 I don't know if I necessarily suggest that, but this is what it looks like right now.

00:19:56.000 The hurricane force winds are really, really high and we walk down.

00:20:02.000 Well, very good.

00:20:02.000 Yeah, the bay, the bay is basically emptied is what from what I understand.

00:20:07.000 So, Benny, if you go back.

00:20:09.000 Basically, I almost slipped and fell directly into the bay.

00:20:12.000 Here we are down here.

00:20:14.000 I've walked down a little staircase and you can see sort of what it looks like.

00:20:20.000 You can see the exposed rock, and you can see the exposed barnacles sort of down here on the steps.

00:20:28.000 Excuse my ignorance, then, Benny.

00:20:30.000 Is that happen naturally, or is that a preventative measure?

00:20:33.000 I don't quite understand what the hurricane is so powerful.

00:20:37.000 What I see on local news that it pulls the water out.

00:20:40.000 It's sucking the water.

00:20:41.000 This would normally, of course, be filled with water, and now you're seeing it like a Moses situation with the Red Sea.

00:20:47.000 And so now you can go and walk on what would normally be a full, you know, a full bay.

00:20:54.000 You can see the retaining wall here on Tampa Bay.

00:20:57.000 And by the way, I mean, I just last, but I must say, since we're still live, Charlie Kirk is the person who demanded that I move to Florida.

00:21:08.000 So I blame fully Charlie Kirk for this current situation my family is in.

00:21:12.000 You can blame me.

00:21:13.000 And then when you have 0% income tax at the end of the year, you can thank me.

00:21:18.000 So, Benny, stay safe.

00:21:21.000 You can see homies like walking through the bay. 1.00

00:21:24.000 What's it like out there?

00:21:29.000 It may not happen again.

00:21:31.000 I don't know.

00:21:37.000 Dude's going back to the water.

00:21:38.000 There you go.

00:21:39.000 You got Count Dracula just running through the bay there.

00:21:44.000 Here you go.

00:21:46.000 Walking out.

00:21:46.000 I mean, so, okay, listen, man.

00:21:50.000 This would normally be 15 feet of water.

00:21:52.000 This is a good example, right?

00:21:54.000 So you have this wall right here all the way down.

00:21:57.000 It's been drained.

00:21:59.000 So if this were Nevada, there'd be many bodies.

00:22:03.000 If this were Chicago or the East River, but thankfully it's Tampa.

00:22:10.000 Yeah, so if it was Chicago, you would see all the ballots from the last 30 or 40 years.

00:22:16.000 The surge is going to be very bad, though, right, Benny?

00:22:19.000 I mean, for every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction.

00:22:21.000 I'm no expert here.

00:22:22.000 From what I understand, though, if it sucks all the water out, then the surge is just going to be really bad.

00:22:27.000 Flooding, debris, power outages, all of that.

00:22:31.000 Am I understanding that correctly, Benny?

00:22:34.000 Right.

00:22:34.000 So there's hundreds of thousands of people without power right now.

00:22:37.000 The surge is going to be high tide, and all this water could come up into the neighborhoods.

00:22:42.000 As you can see right around here, I'll spin around.

00:22:44.000 You can see the buildings.

00:22:45.000 You know, there's high rises.

00:22:47.000 You know, there's millions of people who live in Tampa.

00:22:49.000 There's 3 million people who live here.

00:22:51.000 And a lot of them live in flood zones, including, but not limited to my parents, who just moved from Illinois.

00:22:57.000 Again, a Charlie Kirk suggestion that they took.

00:23:01.000 And now they were in a fort's evacuation area because they're so close to the water.

00:23:05.000 But it's wild.

00:23:06.000 I mean, it's wild to see, again, the water receding.

00:23:10.000 That is the rocks.

00:23:11.000 Those are the rocks that would normally be 15 feet underwater, fully exposed.

00:23:15.000 Geez.

00:23:16.000 Yeah, this is a serious one.

00:23:19.000 Benny, I want to get your reaction.

00:23:20.000 I think we have some sound here.

00:23:22.000 Benny, I don't know if you heard this or not, but Democrats are now running on the promise that if we elect them in November, they're going to get rid of hurricanes.

00:23:31.000 Amy Klobuchar cut 66.

00:23:34.000 The snow woman herself says, You put Democrats in power, we're going to get rid of hurricanes. 0.82

00:23:39.000 Play cut 66.

00:23:41.000 We just did something about climate change for the first time in decades.

00:23:45.000 That's why we've got to win this as that hurricane bears down on Florida.

00:23:49.000 We got to win in the midterms.

00:23:51.000 We understand that.

00:23:52.000 We got to win, Benny, because Democrats will make hurricanes go away.

00:23:57.000 Yeah, so you had a segment.

00:23:58.000 So, seconds ago, you were talking about someone who emailed you and said that, you know, people in Russia are now believing in God.

00:24:06.000 Man, nothing will make you believe in God more than witnessing this, this kind of a storm, and the kind of magnitude of nature itself.

00:24:15.000 It really does make you feel small in comparison.

00:24:18.000 It is something that has been happening forever here.

00:24:22.000 Every one of my neighbors has lived through tons of hurricanes.

00:24:25.000 Obviously, this is something that normally happens in Florida.

00:24:28.000 It hasn't hit Tampa in quite a while.

00:24:31.000 But these people are simply hedonists, right?

00:24:32.000 They don't believe in God.

00:24:34.000 So they believe that they can control the weather.

00:24:36.000 They say this all the time.

00:24:37.000 Barack Obama says he's going to lower the waters, right?

00:24:40.000 Well, right before he builds his mansions right on the water.

00:24:43.000 That's right.

00:24:43.000 Maybe that's because he has the power to lower it.

00:24:45.000 But this is just classic hedonism, man.

00:24:47.000 We can't believe that we're in charge of nature and that we are God on this earth.

00:24:52.000 And, you know, nothing will make you believe in God more than standing in the middle of a hurricane.

00:24:55.000 Yeah, it will certainly humble you.

00:24:56.000 We can't forget Joe Biden.

00:24:57.000 Remember when he said we need to prepare for hurricane season by getting vaccinated?

00:25:01.000 Play cut 104.

00:25:03.000 Let me be clear.

00:25:04.000 If you're in a state where hurricanes often strike, like Florida or the Gulf Coast or into Texas, a vital part of preparing for hurricane season is to get vaccinated now.

00:25:18.000 Everything is more complicated if you're not vaccinated in a hurricane or natural disaster hits.

00:25:25.000 So, Benny, are the vaccinated people in Tampa Bay more protected?

00:25:32.000 Yeah, well, listen, we can have some scary stuff happening here, and we hope that everyone's heart stays ticking and that there's no massive spike in bad tickers here because it's going to get stressful.

00:25:45.000 It really will.

00:25:45.000 It's going to supposed to intensify.

00:25:48.000 So, we hope that everyone stays safe, vaccinated or unvaccinated, and there were never vaxxed mandates here in Florida.

00:25:55.000 Thank God for Governor Rondon Santis, who, again, like again, is just believing in nature and God's laws and not forcing people to eat their salads with a comb like Amy Klobuchar and the other sad, miserable hedonists who believe that they can control the weather.

00:26:10.000 This is a natural phenomenon, a natural occurrence.

00:26:13.000 It is really wild.

00:26:15.000 Again, it's like a Moses experience here. 0.97

00:26:18.000 You can see the parting, you can see the bottom of the ocean, essentially, in Tampa Bay.

00:26:23.000 And so it does.

00:26:23.000 It makes you stand back.

00:26:26.000 You are small.

00:26:27.000 You have a creator.

00:26:28.000 And that creator is very powerful.

00:26:31.000 Benny, stay safe.

00:26:32.000 And I got some expert advice from some people.

00:26:35.000 Don't stand there too long in that vacated bay because it could come back very quickly and actually hurt some people, nearly killed them last time.

00:26:42.000 So stay safe, Benny.

00:26:44.000 By the way, with all of the food shortages coming, everyone needs to go to preparewithkirk.com.

00:26:49.000 I'm telling you, Benny, I hope you got your preparedness food because I don't like the food shortages that might be happening.

00:26:54.000 God bless you, Benny.

00:26:55.000 Stay safe.

00:26:56.000 So this Nord Stream situation is a house of cards.

00:27:00.000 It's a stick.

00:27:01.000 It's a pile of dynamite that could very well detonate the entire Western order as we know it.

00:27:09.000 And what's happened in Nord Stream 2, what we do know is that this was absolutely a military operation, but who benefits?

00:27:17.000 Jack, what's your take on this?

00:27:19.000 Who do you think is behind it?

00:27:21.000 Well, Charlie, when you really have to look at this, I mean, there's certainly a number of potential candidates, whether it be one of the NATO countries, whether Five Eyes, of course, which is a portion of NATO that would exclude Germany, the Russians themselves, the Ukrainians.

00:27:35.000 Certainly a lot of people have the capability to do it or at least the motive to do it.

00:27:39.000 But I really think when we also examine the question of who benefits, we should also look at who suffers.

00:27:44.000 And that's clearly Germany, right?

00:27:46.000 Clearly, Germany is the direct. 0.87

00:27:48.000 Uh target of this attack, this economic warfare that we're seeing right here, because it is the Germans who became so reliant against the the better advice of a certain 45th president of the United States to not become over reliant on Russia.

00:28:02.000 They decided to, and they also decided to listen to the advice of Greta Thunberg instead of president Trump, and so instead they decided to put all their chips in on a Russian pipeline.

00:28:11.000 That pipeline is now destroyed as they're hurtling towards an energy crisis across the continent of Europe.

00:28:17.000 You're right, Germany will suffer, but if, in a very sinister way, if you wanted to force a very radical green energy agenda, would you do this?

00:28:26.000 Is that even conceivable?

00:28:29.000 Well Charlie, look at it.

00:28:30.000 You know this is definitely in line with everything that you and I have been talking about with the Great Reset.

00:28:35.000 We just held the Create The Great conference there with Steve Bannon.

00:28:38.000 Uh, we've got the book out at Tposa.com, Slash reset.

00:28:41.000 I mean, this is part and parcel.

00:28:43.000 They do not want people on fossil fuels.

00:28:46.000 I don't think the greenies or Greenpeace have the capability to, you know, lay mines or get uh, get a seal team down there or anything like that, but it's certainly something that they would look at and say, shrug their shoulders.

00:28:56.000 They used to do very.

00:28:57.000 I mean look, Greenpeace used to take over barges.

00:28:59.000 They used to do some very radical stuff.

00:29:01.000 I'm not saying they did this obviously more than a couple of molotov cocktails, no.

00:29:06.000 But Greenpeace back in the day used to do some very radical stuff in Japan and all the rest of fisheries and for all sorts of things.

00:29:14.000 Jack, I want to play a piece of tape here and get your reaction.

00:29:17.000 Let's play cut 81.

00:29:20.000 But we should tell you that maybe not coincidentally, today a brand new pipeline was unveiled, a pipeline that carries Non-Russian natural gas in roughly the same area as Nord Streams one and two.

00:29:30.000 This is called the Baltic pipe.

00:29:32.000 It was inaugurated in Poland.

00:29:33.000 It will carry natural gas from Norway through Denmark to Poland and other countries nearby, and it's likely to do very well, since now it has less competition, Jack.

00:29:44.000 So who in kind of this geopolitical mess would be most likely to pull this off?

00:29:50.000 That has the most to benefit, to make the most people suffer?

00:29:53.000 The American intelligence community is making it seem as if this had to be Russia who destroyed their own pipeline.

00:29:59.000 That doesn't make any sense to me.

00:30:02.000 Well, of course, the question would be, why would you want to lose your one piece of leverage over all of Europe?

00:30:08.000 Right, the entire continent of Europe?

00:30:09.000 You've got this great connector.

00:30:11.000 The Russians have spent a decade plus planning this thing, paying for this thing, working on building this thing, trying to get it through. 0.92

00:30:17.000 I was at the Helsinki summit between President Trump and Vladimir Putin, where this came up as a point of contention between the two of them from an economic competition perspective where, of course, President Trump was pushing for that American energy dominance, keeping all of the oil Prices low, right?

00:30:34.000 Which, of course, by the way, prevents war.

00:30:35.000 I want to make sure everyone understands that.

00:30:37.000 Low oil prices prevent war in Europe.

00:30:40.000 That's just obvious.

00:30:42.000 Whereas, of course, Putin was saying, well, I can get my prices under yours, and that's why the pipeline is more economically beneficial.

00:30:48.000 So, a lot of this was the driving factor.

00:30:50.000 Then, of course, Biden takes off the sanctions, as Ambassador Grinnell, of course, has brought up many times.

00:30:57.000 And that really paved the way for this because those high oil prices really, really fueled the Russian coffers in terms of it.

00:31:04.000 So, when you look at who benefits, you have to take into consideration the fact that Germany going into this dark winter that they're looking at, where you've got even Deutsche Bank was coming out saying that the Germans were potentially looking to having to chop down trees in order to make up a significant percentage of their heat for this winter.

00:31:25.000 That they, that if they continued the sanctions on the pipelines, the sanctions on Russia, you had Germans just two days ago marching in the streets demanding to drop the sanctions.

00:31:35.000 So, you have to imagine that Olaf Schultz and all the Germans up there were starting to get a little bit pun intended cold feet, right, over the entire idea of sanctions, and that they may have then turned again to Russia to say, maybe we can work out something.

00:31:50.000 Who are the people that benefit?

00:31:51.000 The people that benefit are anyone who want to keep Russia out of a relationship with Berlin.

00:31:58.000 They don't want a Moscow-Berlin access.

00:32:00.000 Now, speaking as a poll, I don't want a Moscow-Berlin access that much very well either, as a Polish-American descent.

00:32:06.000 But when you look at it from that perspective, there's this quote that I go back to from the first, I'm going to pull it up here.

00:32:14.000 It's the first secretary of NATO actually said this years ago.

00:32:19.000 His name was Lord Hastings.

00:32:21.000 And what did Lord Hastings is May say?

00:32:23.000 He said, They asked him, What was the point of NATO?

00:32:25.000 He said, The point of NATO is to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and keep the Germans down. 0.79

00:32:31.000 And that's been ratting around in my head because I realize that this action certainly keeps the Germans down, if anything else. 0.82

00:32:40.000 That's incredible.

00:32:41.000 So, Jack, then how do you think the United States government's going to respond to this?

00:32:45.000 Well, I saw President Trump post it on Truth earlier today and saying that everybody needs to just pump the brakes, cool their jets, because there's a situation here that if you go tit for tat, if you go escalation, if you say, Hey, there's this pipeline over here, what if somebody takes that out next?

00:33:01.000 And suddenly you're taking out pipeline after pipeline after pipeline, right?

00:33:05.000 That is how you spill into World War III very clearly, very quickly.

00:33:09.000 And President Trump came out and said that he would personally be willing to broker some kind of an agreement between the U.S., Ukraine, and Russia to at least get to a ceasefire, at least get to an armistice, or some kind of talks that could be held to just cool over the entire situation so that Germany can get their heat for the winter.

00:33:28.000 We figure out a way to do it, and we don't start pulling fingers and planning blame.

00:33:33.000 From what I've heard, the White House actually was taken by surprise by this.

00:33:37.000 That Jake Sullivan, Blinken, those guys, they did not know that this was coming.

00:33:41.000 They heard about it in the situation room watching MSNBC.

00:33:44.000 So, which is pretty much the only thing they watched in the situation room.

00:33:48.000 So, they were taken aback by this.

00:33:50.000 They were taken by surprise.

00:33:51.000 And I think that's why when you heard some of those initial statements, official statements, it's been pretty low level.

00:33:57.000 Karine Jean-Pierre didn't really have a very strong statement, even at the briefing, which, of course, was almost 12 hours after the initial last reporting took place.

00:34:06.000 And so, she didn't have a prepared statement.

00:34:08.000 The president hasn't put out.

00:34:09.000 I've seen Joe Biden, I haven't seen Joe Biden put out any really forceful or overarching statement on this.

00:34:14.000 So, I still, I think that even they understand the implications of this or the incredibly massive geopolitical implications here.

00:34:23.000 Because when it comes down to it, there's a lot of people that could have done this.
