00:13:38.980 Thank you.

00:13:39.980 Thank you.

00:13:41.980 Thank you.

00:13:42.980 has happened over the past several days, what's happened in the past several weeks. What do you

00:13:46.700 think about the case at this point? If you have a question, submit it on YouTube. We're going to

00:13:50.300 answer it in real time. I am made of questions because let me tell you about what happened today

00:13:54.220 and then we're going to get Elizabeth Milner on who's been in that courtroom to give us a play

00:13:57.340 by play too. But the testimony today was regarding the alleged break-in at Kid Cudi's house, the

00:14:03.640 alleged firebombing of his car. I've said it before, I've said it again. Kid Cudi, very important

00:14:08.160 witness in this case to establish some of the underlying crimes for the overall racketeering

00:14:14.260 charge. So arson that came out of testimony today. You had this member of the Los Angeles

00:14:23.400 Police Department saying that there was an Escalade register. Yeah. So I think someone

00:14:28.080 that testified today was the police. Oh, and this guy's HSI agent, by the way, this dude right here

00:14:32.840 that's shaking, Cudi's hand, this guy's HSI agent. And so is this guy right here.

00:14:36.200 ...to bad boy records that was found near the crime scene, near the scene of the break-in.

00:14:42.600 This is Cudi coming out of the courtroom last week when he testified.

00:14:45.820 Very interesting cross-examination too that we'll get into as well. A lot of discussion about DNA

00:14:50.500 that was found on this glass bottle, the Molotov cocktail that was used in the firebombing of his

00:14:56.580 car, the alleged firebombing of his car, that it belonged to a female contributor, not entirely sure

00:15:01.240 who that is. Big back and forth between the process.

00:15:03.980 So Los Angeles arson investigator. Yeah. So my guy told me yesterday that the people that

00:15:09.840 would testify today would be from LAPD, the arson people. As you guys know, Diddy allegedly

00:15:15.080 cut a hole into Kid Cudi's car and threw a Molotov cocktail in there, right? So I'll show you guys

00:15:21.560 real quick. So this is one of the government exhibits they showed, right? This big hole

00:15:32.520 right here. And then let's see if we can get the other one. This is inside the car. You

00:15:38.420 can see here, the thing kind of came in and exploded here and started lighting things on

00:15:41.920 fire, the door, passenger side door. And this was back 15 years ago, back in 2011, Chad.

00:15:48.780 ... execution and defense regarding fingerprint cards and whether they were apparently destroyed.

00:15:55.520 Defense objected to this. Around 15 years ago.

00:15:57.420 Yes. They objected to this line of questioning because they said it now puts in the minds of

00:16:01.740 the jury that it looks like Combs or his team is responsible for destroying this piece of evidence.

00:16:08.300 There was also discussion about a glove that wasn't tested for DNA. Was it maybe worn by the person

00:16:13.340 who allegedly threw the Molotov cocktail? And then right before they went to lunch,

00:16:19.120 a celebrity stylist gets on the stand, Deontay Nash, worked for Diddy and Cassie. And I will tell you,

00:16:24.320 based on just my reading of the transcript, what personality this guy has. And also quite

00:16:30.640 relevant to Cassie Ventura's testimony, alleged victim number one in this case, really, really

00:16:35.120 important. So without further ado, I want to bring on Elizabeth Milner, long crimes reporter who is-

00:16:40.160 So the arson investigator testified and this Deontay Nash guy. So his name also came up during the

00:16:45.220 testimony, guys, someone that basically worked for Diddy. The arson investigators, they're bringing

00:16:49.280 them because the reason why, you guys are probably wondering, why are they spending so much time on

00:16:52.320 this Kid Cudi event? The reason why they're spending so much time on this Kid Cudi event chat is because

00:16:55.820 this is a RICO case. And for a RICO case, you need predicate offenses to influence the racketeering

00:17:01.900 of the organization. So arson is one of the crimes that suffices under racketeering. So that is why

00:17:09.480 they're bringing in the arson investigator that investigated the fire. They brought in Kid Cudi to

00:17:14.700 talk about it from her first-hand experience as the victim. They brought in Cassie and she spoke about

00:17:18.600 Diddy, giving Diddy the address and all this other stuff. They brought in Capricorn because Capricorn

00:17:24.280 was there when Diddy went with his bodyguard to Kid Cudi's house and broke in. So they're bringing

00:17:30.360 all these different individuals to corroborate that an arson was committed in late 2011 due to Kid Cudi

00:17:37.240 dating Cassie and Diddy being jealous. And then their subsequent meeting after that and everything else

00:17:42.180 like that. That is why it's so important for them to iron out this scenario, this event, so to speak,

00:17:49.180 this arson event, because the arson is going to be used as one of the predicate offenses, okay, to justify

00:17:55.980 their RICO case. Okay, to be honest with you, I think they got a pretty airtight. They got multiple witnesses

00:18:00.720 corroborating the same story. All of them gave a very similar story. There's only really one discrepancy where

00:18:06.100 Kid Cudi said when he got there, Diddy wasn't there versus Capricorn says that they chased him off,

00:18:10.180 which is a bit odd. But in general, the main facts of the case are Diddy went to Cudi's house,

00:18:17.980 broke in, and then the car was firebombed shortly thereafter, right? Now, what I will say,

00:18:26.560 though, and what Diddy's defense did talk about, which is good, so Cudi's Porsche was firebombed on

00:18:34.560 January 9th, 2011, or 2012, excuse me, January 9th, 2012. At that point, Cudi and Cassie had stopped

00:18:40.940 talking, right? So, so for the, you know, the defense was saying, why would Diddy firebomb your Porsche

00:18:49.240 when you guys were already done? You know what I mean? Like, you and Cassie were done. And then they met

00:18:54.680 the day after Diddy allegedly firebombed on or about January 10th, 2012. And that's when Cudi walked

00:19:01.140 in and said that they met at the Soho Hotel and Diddy was sitting there, was standing, looking at

00:19:07.280 the window with his hand behind the back like a Marvel supervillain, right? So this was on or about

00:19:12.880 January 10th. And then Cassie showed up later on saying, hey, you know, you know, I'm sorry,

00:19:20.100 whatever the fuck it may be. But basically, okay, so here's the timeline. Cassie and Cudi start

00:19:25.680 dating in late 2011. Diddy finds out and hits Cassie. Cassie calls Cudi. Cudi comes and picks

00:19:33.340 her up. When Cudi picks her up, he takes her to the Marquee Hotel. Diddy, furious and looking for

00:19:38.360 Cassie, goes to Cudi's house because he knows Cudi's address, thanks to Cassie being an idiot.

00:19:45.040 He goes to Cassie's house and takes Capricorn with him. Capricorn is one of his assistants.

00:19:50.700 While they're at the house, Capricorn calls Cudi and Cassie and says, hey, I'm here at your

00:19:57.140 house, Cudi, because Cudi, Cassie and Capricorn were all friends. Diddy's in there right now

00:20:02.280 with one of his guys. I think it was Rube, right? Ruben or whatever. So Cudi says, what

00:20:08.420 the fuck? He calls Diddy and says, yo, motherfucker, are you in my house? And basically, Diddy doesn't

00:20:14.100 really confirm or deny, but he says, we need to talk. And Cudi's like, okay, I'm on my

00:20:19.260 way. So Cudi goes over there. He goes, he sees that his cameras are pointed down at

00:20:24.060 the floor, his security system, goes into the house, his Christmas presents are open

00:20:28.860 and his dog is locked inside the bathroom, right? Nothing was destroyed or stolen. Now,

00:20:34.920 with that said, after that, Cudi and Cassie went to New London, because Cassie lives in

00:20:41.160 New London, Connecticut, to spend Christmas with her family. This was after this whole,

00:20:46.160 you know, break in. After they spent time with each other at Christmas, that's where Cassie

00:20:51.520 takes the pictures of her being bruised and shit like that. Okay. Because Diddy had basically

00:20:56.480 given her the fucking sparring kick, bong, and kicked her in the back and they left some bruising.

00:21:01.200 Now, after that was done, they went back to California and, or excuse me, Cudi went back

00:21:08.660 to California. Cassie told her mom she was going to California, but she didn't. She actually went

00:21:12.120 to Arizona. So her and Diddy reconciled. She went to Phoenix to go meet Diddy while Cudi went

00:21:17.360 to California. At that point, they stopped talking to each other. This is late, this 2011, December,

00:21:22.240 2011 and early January of 2012. Shortly thereafter, his car is firebombed on the 9th. Then he meets

00:21:31.840 with Diddy Arnold about the 10th and they pretty much squash it there. And Cudi asked him when he

00:21:36.960 meets him, he shakes his hand and says, Hey, what about my car? And Diddy looks at him and says,

00:21:42.080 what car? Right? So that's the timeline of events. Now, who they brought in here, right? On this day

00:21:49.440 was an arson investigator to talk about what they found at the scene and their investigation.

00:21:53.880 And no one was ever arrested for this arson case. And the way that Diddy's defense tried to frame it

00:21:59.000 is like, bro, why would he firebomb your car when y'all were done at this point? You and Cassie

00:22:02.900 weren't talking anymore. You guys were over. Right? Now, unbeknownst to Cudi, Cassie got back with Diddy

00:22:09.320 when she went to Arizona. He didn't know that though. He found that out when he showed up on

00:22:13.960 January 10th to talk to Diddy and she showed up as well. Then they got back together. And he was

00:22:17.920 pissed off about that. Basically, Cassie played both of them. And this is what Brian Steele,

00:22:24.820 Diddy's attorney, had kind of got out through cross-examination. Give me one to the chat if

00:22:31.120 that timeline makes sense. Just so you guys understand this whole Kid Cudi event. Because

00:22:35.040 this is very important to the Rico case chat. Extremely important. They're going to use this

00:22:39.120 as one of the prerequisite crimes. That's why they're bringing all these witnesses in and going

00:22:43.380 through this story tooth and nail. Give me ones if that all makes sense for you guys.

00:22:52.260 Man, it really helps being in a courtroom, guys. I'll tell y'all this, man. I'm getting this

00:22:56.840 testimony first. I got a lot of this testimony for you guys firsthand. And I'm kind of just weaving

00:23:00.720 everything for you guys together. I took parts from all their testimony and gave you guys the summary.

00:23:04.800 Because I watched all of them talk about this event.

00:23:10.520 Awesome. I see a bunch of ones. All right. Let's keep going.

00:23:13.940 In that courtroom every day for testimony. Elizabeth, so great to see you. I have to start

00:23:20.120 with Deontay Nash. Okay. Because I can feel the personality through the court updates. Talk to us

00:23:27.940 about, this was, again, right before the lunch break, called by the prosecution. What did he say?

00:23:34.240 And how was his testimony relevant to Cassandra Ventura?

00:23:40.860 Well, I'm not going to lie, Jesse. I absolutely love everything about Deontay Nash being on the

00:23:45.800 witness stand. He's funny. He's sassy. And look, when I see it, if I were to see an exhibit photo of

00:23:51.460 myself and I looked in a beautiful and this glamorous headshot, I would tell the entire

00:23:55.740 courtroom, too, that I looked fabulous and stunning. And there was just...

00:23:59.300 Oh, he's one of these flamboyant niggas.

00:24:00.760 This eruption of laughter inside the courtroom. And so Deontay Nash definitely at some points

00:24:06.040 during his testimony, the personality is brought out, but he is there to talk about a lot of

00:24:10.680 substance, too. And that is just about his working relationship with Cassie Ventura, as well as

00:24:16.060 Steven Diddy. Yeah, guys, this is the girl that's in the courtroom. This girl is... I spoke to her

00:24:20.840 on multiple occasions. She's a law and crime person. Guys, there's a bunch of YouTubers over

00:24:24.620 there right now. The biggest YouTubers that I know that are there, there's four of them that I

00:24:29.140 know. There's law and crime, obviously. They're the biggest one. There's Armand. And then who else?

00:24:39.020 Tisa Tails, and then me. So...

00:24:43.900 He styled both of them. However, he did have kind of a better...

00:24:48.040 Oh, and Rotten Mangoes, or yeah, I think it's Rotten Mango or some shit like that?

00:24:51.820 ...in relationship with Cassie. Asian girl.

00:24:54.000 ...assie, and he witnessed a lot according to his time, or according to his testimony during his time

00:25:00.020 while he had worked as a stylist with her. And so we're introduced to Deontay Nash around 12 o'clock-ish,

00:25:05.960 right before the lunch break. He was the last witness who was called before we went to lunch.

00:25:10.280 And so he was kind of explaining just how we had started working with Diddy and Cassie. He started

00:25:15.900 off as an intern for Derrick Roche, and Derrick Roche was actually Diddy's stylist. And when Deontay's

00:25:21.660 on the witness stand, Jesse, he's not even referring to him as Diddy or Sean Combs. He calls him Puff

00:25:26.100 or Puffy. That is what he calls him by, and that's normally...

00:25:29.200 Yeah, everybody calls Diddy Puff.

00:25:31.280 ...the name that he's familiar with.

00:25:32.360 Everyone that knows Diddy personally calls him Puff, because his original name was Puff Daddy

00:25:36.880 for a very long time. First, it was Puff Daddy, then P. Diddy, then Diddy.

00:25:42.880 And so we do see that exhibit photo of Deontay Nash. It was a glamour shot of him. And of course,

00:25:48.480 he said that he looked amazing and fabulous. And I'm sure the transcript read just that,

00:25:53.480 but just being inside the courtroom, it definitely was kind of a good, funny, highlighted moment.

00:25:58.140 And then it got more serious from there. So he was explaining that he had worked with Diddy

00:26:01.940 and Cassie from 2008 to 2018, so about a 10-year period. Then we get into the 2009 to 28 timeframe,

00:26:08.540 which is a long time. But Maureen Comey, who did the questioning under the direct examination,

00:26:13.580 was essentially asking some foundational questions just about how much time Deontay spent with Cassie.

00:26:19.320 And he said he spent pretty much every single day with Cassie. He said he saw Diddy and Cassie

00:26:23.840 together, though, about once a week, but that's still a pretty often time. And then he was asked,

00:26:28.860 what were the names that Diddy referred to Cassie as?

00:26:31.420 Yeah, for those freak-offs. As you guys know, Diddy was having these freak-offs at least once a week,

00:26:36.380 according to Cassie.

00:26:37.220 So first, Deontay was like, oh, baby girl, Cass, Cassie. But then he said that Diddy would also

00:26:44.100 refer to her as the B-word. He would call her an S-L-U-T. He would call her a hoe. But he said

00:26:50.040 it's the B-word that was his favorite word to use in reference to his own girlfriend, that being Cassie.

00:26:55.880 And he said...

00:26:56.220 Snigger Diddy, bro. Calling Cassie a bitch every day.

00:27:02.120 Also, just so you guys know, you know, they had a volatile relationship. They'll fight with each

00:27:08.620 other a lot. You know, Cassie would talk back to him. It'd infuriate him. Like, yeah.

00:27:13.940 He being Deontay said that Diddy would call Cassie an outright hoe, an outright S-L-U-T. And I'm sorry,

00:27:20.940 guys. I know you guys, I have to be very careful with just the words that I can say on air. But

00:27:25.360 Deontay explained that when Diddy would call her these names and when he would use these words against

00:27:29.920 her, that Cassie would be sad. She would be depressed about this name calling. Deontay

00:27:35.740 went on to explain that Diddy threatened Cassie a number of times, threatened to release her sex

00:27:40.580 tapes, send those sex tapes to her... Okay, that's important because Cassie was alleging,

00:27:45.160 this is very important, Chad. So one of the things on Cassie's testimony that she spent a significant

00:27:49.840 amount of time talking about was how she didn't want to leave because she felt as though Diddy would

00:27:55.940 put the sex tapes out and embarrass her and ruin her career in doing so. Now, with that said,

00:28:01.760 this is where we kind of run into a bit of a conflict because on one side, Cassie's saying,

00:28:09.880 hey, he had these videos of me. He would hold it over me and he would say that he was going to

00:28:14.240 release them and embarrass me, right? But we also know, even according to her testimony,

00:28:19.100 that there was this guy that told her, hey, Cassie, word is that there's a sex tape going

00:28:26.260 around about you. What did she do? She called Diddy and said, hey, this guy's telling me that

00:28:32.620 there's a sex tape out about me or whatever. And Diddy told her, don't let him out of your sight

00:28:36.240 and make sure that you get to the bottom of it, right? He was in LA. She was in New York and slash

00:28:41.320 New Jersey at the time. So he obviously had a very invested interest in ensuring that that video

00:28:49.540 didn't get out either, right? Which is contrary to what she's saying where, oh, he held these videos

00:28:55.120 above me and I couldn't leave, right? Another instance was one of their escorts that they would

00:29:00.620 use to have sex threatened to release a sex video or one of these freak off videos. And obviously,

00:29:06.580 Cassie got nervous and Diddy did too. And Diddy actually ended up spending a lot of money,

00:29:11.740 something, someone said to the tune of like, I think academics reported like 5 million,

00:29:15.500 spent about 5 million to pay this escort off to not release the footage. Okay? So,

00:29:22.900 and then on top of that, right, which I think the defense did a really good job here,

00:29:27.580 the defense said, okay, well, if Diddy had these freak off videos and wanted to ruin your life and

00:29:32.040 release them, why do you have the videos on your devices? Because guys, the freak off videos that

00:29:38.300 are still in existence, who did they come from? They came from Cassie. They did not come from Diddy.

00:29:43.840 They came from Cassie. Okay? And it was really interesting for the defense to kind of show this.

00:29:49.820 So that's where the issue lies. Now, obviously, Deontay is confirming this allegation that Diddy held the

00:29:57.660 videos over her head, but there has been conflicting evidence presented at a trial where in some

00:30:03.240 instances, Diddy doesn't want the videos out. And then in others, they're saying, oh, he did want

00:30:06.680 the videos out, but he doesn't have any, he didn't, um, at least the government didn't find any videos

00:30:12.000 of the freak offs, uh, on Diddy's person through all the search warrants.

00:30:16.460 Her parents threatened to beat Cassie's behind and it drove Cassie essentially crazy. She would cry.

00:30:23.140 She would stay in the house. Deontay explained that Cassie would essentially cocoon up when Diddy

00:30:28.200 would just call her these names. And, um, Diddy threatened not to release her music, something

00:30:32.600 that the government has talked about at length, um, throughout a bunch of different witness

00:30:36.680 testimony. And around this, um, timeframe from 2012, 2013-ish, again, when Deontay was still working

00:30:43.940 with Diddy and Cassie, um, Deontay explained that Diddy threatened to do something to Cassie.

00:30:48.520 Now, you can also make the argument, his defense made this as well, to this argument that, oh,

00:30:52.340 Diddy always threatened to not release her music. Well, Diddy actually put her in touch

00:30:55.740 with a lot of artists that she ended up working with. She worked with Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne,

00:30:59.220 um, obviously Kid Cudi, because Diddy actually set Kid Cudi up with Cassie to do music together

00:31:03.840 and ended up having a romantic relationship, which is why he got so pissed off. So on the

00:31:07.360 defensive side, they say, did he really inhibit your career when he's putting you in touch

00:31:10.980 with all these different artists and you're recording music? But who knows?

00:31:13.980 Cassie's parents, now they didn't elaborate what this threat was, but I'm sure once we get

00:31:18.240 back from the lunch break, they'll kind of expand more on just that. But it seems like

00:31:21.840 from Deontay's point of view that Diddy threatened Cassie a number of times. Diddy even threatened

00:31:26.900 Cassie and Deontay, that Cassie couldn't go out with Deontay and that she needed to bring her

00:31:32.120 behind home essentially. And that Cassie again would be referred to as the B word and that Cassie

00:31:39.360 would have to essentially do whatever Diddy said, whether it was how her appearance looked,

00:31:44.020 whether her hair was down a certain way, whether it was up a certain way. And so I think,

00:31:48.020 as far as just the direct examination goes, yes, we did have a funny moment at the beginning of

00:31:52.480 testimony, but really just getting into just kind of the weight of the testimony, it seems that Deontay

00:31:58.080 is kind of, in essence, kind of giving more credibility to a lot of the other witness testimony

00:32:03.580 just about how mean and potentially forceful Diddy was against her.

00:32:09.340 Right. When you're talking about violence, threats, verbal abuse, it's all important for

00:32:13.980 force, fraud, coercion, right? The underlying elements for sex trafficking. It also goes to

00:32:20.660 the larger theme of why Cassie didn't walk away, why she didn't fight back, why didn't she report

00:32:26.760 Sean Combs? It's a big issue in this case. And talking about that power dynamic is something

00:32:32.380 that's already come up in the past few weeks and obviously something that's being explored with

00:32:35.680 his testimony. There was a lot of testimony this morning regarding Kid Cudi.

00:32:41.120 So we got, so now at this point, guys, we got, how many people testified? Capricorn is 17,

00:32:46.580 18 was the arson investigator, and then this Deontay Nash guy makes it 19, pretty much.

00:32:52.980 Because Kid Cudi had taken the stand last week, said that he had this relationship with Cassandra

00:32:57.460 Ventura, and then was retaliated against by Sean Combs, that his house was broken into, his car was

00:33:03.680 torched. And I got to ask you, Elizabeth, based on the testimony today from, I believe, members of

00:33:09.780 Los Angeles Police Department and the Fire Department, it seems like that might have happened,

00:33:14.740 that his house was broken into, and that his car was actually firebombed, right? I mean,

00:33:19.820 Well, we know that for a fact because we got the, we got the video. I mean, sorry,

00:33:23.940 the pictures of his car firebombed. Los Angeles Police Department and the Fire Department.

00:33:28.200 It seems like that might have happened. Hey guys, smash that like button. We got only 467 likes. We got

00:33:32.980 1500 of you guys watching right now on YouTube. We just started up like the video ninjas. Then

00:33:36.020 we're going to get into the Russia stuff. That his house was broken into, and that his car was

00:33:40.660 actually firebombed, right? I mean, what were some of the highlights? But every day during this trial,

00:33:45.060 guys, I will be giving you guys an update on what's going on in the trial. Then we'll get into the

00:33:48.440 other news as well. We cover it all over here, baby. We do, you know, true crime, geopolitics. We do it

00:33:54.380 all, baby. Regarding that testimony about whether this in fact did happen.

00:33:58.860 Yeah, well, we heard a lot of evidence this morning, especially with the first witness that

00:34:05.460 was called to the stand. And that was Officer Christopher Ignacio. He does work with the LAPD.

00:34:11.160 And he was just explaining his response to the December 2011. This happened December 22nd of 2011.

00:34:19.020 The response to the break-in at Kid Cudi's home. And so it was just interesting kind of hearing his

00:34:24.640 perspective, just from an evidentiary standpoint, from a police perspective. And so he says that he

00:34:29.800 was dispatched around 8.20 a.m. that day about a possible suspect kind of staring down near and

00:34:35.820 around the house. And so he responded. And when he responded, what did he see? He noticed right

00:34:40.960 off the bat a black escalade. And it's interesting that that was one of the first things he said when

00:34:45.300 he was talking about his response. Because what did we learn just yesterday when Capricorn Clark was on

00:34:50.200 the stand? That Diddy, Ruben, and Capricorn Clark, according to her testimony, traveled down to

00:34:55.780 Kid Cudi's house in what? A black escalade. And so Officer Ignacio was explaining that he didn't

00:35:02.840 notice the passengers inside the vehicle because there was so much heavy tent on the windows. But

00:35:07.640 what he did notice was a particular license plate. And he said that that license plate number stuck out

00:35:12.820 to him. He remembered that license plate number. He explained that while they had arrived to the

00:35:18.480 house, his partner had jumped over the fence to kind of like, hold on one sec.

00:35:23.860 Late numbers stuck out to notice the passengers inside the vehicle because there was so much heavy

00:35:28.900 tent on the windows. But what he did notice was a particular license plate. And he said that that

00:35:33.740 license plate number stuck out to him. He remembered that license plate number. He, so he responded.

00:35:40.060 And when he responded, what did he see? He noticed right off the bat a black escalade.

00:35:44.640 He told me about whether this in fact did happen. Okay. Lance Amanda's Los Angeles arson investigator.

00:35:50.340 Also, another thing for you guys as well, with the arson investigator, my guy Chad is saying that

00:35:56.720 there were fingerprints that were supposed to be there that got destroyed.

00:35:59.800 It's all important for force, fraud, coercion, right? The underlying elements for sex trafficking.

00:36:06.800 It also goes to the larger theme of why Cassie didn't walk away, why she didn't fight back. Why

00:36:13.080 didn't she report Sean Combs? It's a big issue in this case. And talking about that power dynamic

00:36:18.140 is something that's already come up in the past few weeks and obviously something that's being

00:36:22.220 explored with his testimony. There was a... The government is trying to say that she was

00:36:26.520 coerced and forced versus the defense is saying she was an adult and she made the decision to stay

00:36:31.100 with Diddy. A lot of testimony this morning regarding Kid Cudi because Kid Cudi had taken the stand last

00:36:36.300 week, said that he had this relationship with Cassandra Ventura and then was retaliated against

00:36:41.220 by Sean Combs, that his house was broken into, his car was torched. And I got to ask you, Elizabeth,

00:36:47.940 based on the testimony today from, I believe, members of Los Angeles Police Department and the

00:36:53.140 Fire Department, it seems like that might have happened, that his house was broken into and that

00:36:58.780 his car was actually firebombed, right? I mean, what were some of the highlights regarding that

00:37:03.440 testimony about whether this in fact did happen?

00:37:08.780 Yeah, well, we heard a lot of evidence this morning, especially with the first witness that

00:37:12.780 was called to the stand and that was Officer Christopher Ignacio. He does work with the LAPD

00:37:18.220 and he was just explaining his response to the... Okay, so he's probably more than likely a patrol

00:37:23.760 guy that showed up and he was the first responder, first one to get there on the scene.

00:37:27.000 For 2011, this happened December 22nd of 2011, the response to the break-in at Kid Cudi's home.

00:37:35.360 And so it was just... Oh, okay, so the break-in is first. So the firebombing guys happened

00:37:38.820 January 9th, but the break-in was December 22nd, 2011, which makes sense. That's three days before

00:37:46.060 they went over to Connecticut for Christmas. Interesting kind of hearing his perspective

00:37:49.460 just from an evidentiary standpoint, from a police perspective. And so he says that he was dispatched

00:37:54.840 around 8.20 a.m. that day about a possible suspect kind of staring down near and around the house.

00:38:00.940 And so he responded. And when he responded, what did he see? He noticed right off the bat a black

00:38:06.460 escalade. That's a big deal. It's interesting that that was one of the first things he said when he

00:38:10.860 was talking about his response. Because what did we learn just yesterday when Capricorn Clark was on

00:38:15.600 the stand? That Diddy, Rubin, and Capricorn Clark, according to her testimony, traveled down to Kid Cudi's

00:38:21.820 house in what? A black escalade. And so Officer Ignacio was explaining that he didn't notice the

00:38:28.720 passengers inside the vehicle because there was so much heavy tent on the windows. But what he did

00:38:33.700 notice was a particular license plate. Remember, that SUV was what was Capricorn, Diddy, and Rubin

00:38:39.240 used to go to Kid Cudi's house. And he said that that license plate number stuck out to him. He

00:38:44.320 remembered that license plate number. He explained that... Wow, I remember the license plate number.

00:38:49.240 While they had arrived to the house, his partner had jumped over the fence to kind of let him in

00:38:54.740 to the door. So they opened the door. No one was home at the time. But what they did notice was some

00:38:59.900 unwrapped gifts. And it's interesting because while Kid Cudi was testifying, he said that there were gifts

00:39:04.300 unwrapped in the kitchen area. Chanel items. These were fancy gifts, kind of like Chanel bags and watches,

00:39:12.880 that type of thing. And so then later on, more... Three days before Christmas. Detectives arrived to this

00:39:18.300 area. But it's interesting, Jesse, because he was explaining that... Excuse me. He was explaining that when

00:39:25.460 they had exited the home, they noticed that same exact Black Escalade kind of driving back towards the

00:39:31.040 hill, driving at a slower pace, around 10 to 15 miles per hour. He said around the first time he saw the Black

00:39:37.000 Escalade, that they were driving off that, which I think also goes to verify Capricorn Clark's explanation or Capricorn

00:39:43.900 Clark's testimony yesterday, where she was explaining how she, Ruben, and Diddy had all spotted Kid Cudi's car.

00:39:51.020 They chased him and then... Excuse me. Later returned. And so... Now, Cudi's story, he was not chased. He got there and

00:39:58.680 they weren't there. That's Cudi's story. Capricorn's saying they chased him. He's saying that he got there and

00:40:03.960 they weren't there. Which, he's a rapper, might not want to look like a bitch and say, yeah, they chased me

00:40:07.940 around and I was scared. Oh, right before the direct examination ended, we see this exhibit photo.

00:40:13.700 And I think that the prosecution kind of did a big, like, aha moment here because we see the DMV

00:40:18.960 vehicle registration. And I know you kind of spoiled it anyway, Jesse, but that vehicle was registered

00:40:24.100 to Bad Boy Productions, Inc. Cooked. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. That's that's a fucking rap. Yep.

00:40:36.320 Yep. Yep. They 100% have him on the arson now, chat. They 100% have him on the arson now. Holy fuck.

00:40:49.860 Wow. That is fucking air fried, bro. Yep. That's it. That... He might go down for Rico now, chat.

00:41:03.080 Honestly. Oh, man. Wow. The fact... Because here's the thing that you guys need to understand,

00:41:11.400 right? So, witness testimony is always spotty, right? But when you have witness testimony

00:41:19.940 from multiple witnesses, then you're able to corroborate that testimony with something legitimate

00:41:26.340 like DMV records. Cooked, bro. They got him 100% on the arson. And that arson is going to be used

00:41:39.780 as a predicate offense to substantiate the Rico. And it was the exact same license plate, that...

00:41:46.580 They got him 100% on the fucking arson. Now, I don't know if they got... Or the break-in,

00:41:52.700 excuse me, let me rephrase. They got him 100% on the break-in.

00:41:56.540 Officer Ignacio had first spotted. And so, that was the big moment just from his testimony. Obviously,

00:42:01.980 under the cross-examination, it was really picked apart just as far as his response goes to

00:42:07.780 investigating this break-in, whether or not that there were dead-ends around the Hollywood Hills

00:42:15.140 neighborhood. And maybe that was an explanation as to why the Black Escalade was seen again.

00:42:18.820 And I think... I'm going to reach out to this chat.

00:42:21.380 When Brian Steele was doing the cross-examination, he was poking holes where

00:42:24.920 holes needed to have been poked, right? He was asking questions as far as why a BOLO response

00:42:29.520 wasn't put out, why no arrests were made, why nothing was charged beyond just trespassing.

00:42:35.860 It was no burglary charge or no robbery charge, any of that sort. He didn't spot a car chasing

00:42:41.400 another car. And he didn't hear about a kidnapping in this matter. And that there was no property

00:42:48.800 disturbed, even though there was gifts open that Kid Cudi says weren't open when he had left his

00:42:53.160 home. And so, those were the big highlights from his testimony. Then we get into arson investigator

00:42:58.880 Lance Jimenez. And I think Lance Jimenez...

00:43:01.240 Okay. So, we know for a fact, December 22nd, Diddy was there. He broke into his house. That is

00:43:06.560 confirmed. Testimony was pretty interesting today. 100% confirmed. That license plate matches is

00:43:13.580 cooked. Because he is an arson investigator. And he was really kind of explaining just the ins and

00:43:18.120 outs of investigating this type of firebomb or car bomb, but particularly this Molotov cocktail that

00:43:25.060 was lodged into Kid Cudi's home, according to him. He says that he observed when he had responded to the

00:43:31.280 call, that he had observed this car parked close to the garage. And then he saw this black Porsche 911.

00:43:39.440 He saw that there was a cutout roof inside the Porsche, something that we've all seen from those

00:43:43.280 exhibit photos.

00:43:44.360 Yep. I showed you guys the picture. This is what he's referring to right here. This cutout.

00:43:50.340 And he said that his initial hypothesis was the engine wasn't damaged. The back seats weren't

00:43:56.320 necessarily damaged. The weather was good that day. So, this wasn't a natural accent. This wasn't

00:44:01.100 because of the weather or anything like that. He believed, especially after smelling things like gasoline

00:44:07.580 coming from that glass bottle, that he believed this was a Molotov cocktail. And so, we see a whole bunch of

00:44:13.240 different exhibits. We see exhibits of Kid Cudi's front door. We see exhibits of Kid Cudi's driveway

00:44:18.460 with a black Porsche there. It was burned. We see the roof. And Jimenez has said that he believes that

00:44:23.640 that roof was actually cut intentionally. We see the interior of Kid Cudi's Porsche, where you can see a glass

00:44:29.960 bottle. You can see a handkerchief over into the console area, which is kind of like this designery, silky cloth

00:44:35.720 material. And he believed that that was kind of the root and the damage as far as what had happened. And so, he summed up

00:44:45.680 his conclusion because we saw a whole bunch of different exhibits, too, that I'm sure we'll get into more later on, Jesse. But his

00:44:52.300 conclusion was that someone took this bottle, put gasoline in it, put a cloth over it, cut the roof

00:44:58.380 out. The cloth fell out whenever the Molotov cocktail was lodged into the roof. And so, that fire ended up

00:45:03.820 being contained specifically to the car. Now, he says that he's investigated arson when it comes to

00:45:08.940 Molotov cocktails before. He has a lot of experience. He's been doing this fire, or excuse me, he's been doing

00:45:14.100 arson investigation since the earliest, around 2011. So, he's been doing this a long time. And he said,

00:45:19.060 surprisingly, that the damage wasn't as bad as he's seen in other instances that involved Molotov

00:45:23.860 cocktails. He explained that it could have been so much worse, where the fire could have just

00:45:28.260 essentially exploded the car, only leaving the frames of the car. The car could have,

00:45:33.980 or excuse me, the fire. Now, according to Kid Cudi, the car was totaled, obviously, after this,

00:45:37.400 was not repairable whatsoever. Fire from the car could have even went over to the house or to the garage

00:45:43.700 area. I don't think most auto insurance companies would cover this. Molotov cocktail damage?

00:45:47.740 I don't think that's in the coverage.

00:45:49.620 The damage could have been a lot worse than it actually was. So, that was a surprising tidbit

00:45:53.460 that he had said today, where he explained that even though a Molotov cocktail was lodged into the

00:45:58.800 car and it's Kid Cudi had explained while he was testifying that he could not refix the car,

00:46:03.820 the car was beyond repair, that according to investigator Lance Jimenez, that essentially

00:46:10.880 this fire could have been a lot worse.

00:46:13.400 But what's also interesting, Jesse, is that when we start to get into the fingerprints and just

00:46:18.200 the DNA that was collected, essentially the defense thought it was kind of enough for the grounds of

00:46:24.280 a mistrial. Why? Because the government was essentially asking questions as far as

00:46:28.900 whether or not fingerprints were taken inside the car and around the car. But the victim in this case,

00:46:35.620 the victim obviously being Scott Mescady, aka Kid Cudi, he had someone do fingerprints after the break-in

00:46:41.460 at his home. He submitted these fingerprints over to officials and officials officially had this

00:46:47.680 fingerprint card. But the thing is, is he was asked, he being investigator Lance Jimenez, was asked

00:46:54.920 by Mary Slavik while he was questioned under direct, did you find this unusual? Because the fingerprint

00:47:00.920 cards were later destroyed. So, he was asked, do you find this unusual? Has evidence ever been

00:47:06.180 destroyed before? Obviously, there was going to be an objection from the defense. Obviously,

00:47:10.340 there was going to be a sidebar because the defense did not want this information to be heard from the

00:47:15.620 jury. So, when the jury had to kind of leave the room for a quick break for arguments outside the

00:47:20.440 presence of the jury, they were just really getting into it. And Alexander Shapiro just got up and was

00:47:25.980 like, we have the ground, or I believe there's enough grounds for a mistrial. And everyone just

00:47:30.180 kind of was like, okay, what is about to happen? And obviously, we know that didn't necessarily happen

00:47:35.280 because another witness was called later on. But it really seemed like the defense was very upset and

00:47:41.560 found this to be extremely prejudicial against their client. Because it makes the jury believe,

00:47:46.740 the argument is, that someone destroyed the fingerprint cards and that someone was Sean Combs,

00:47:51.520 a member of his team. And I know that the judge even questioned the prosecutor about why you would

00:47:55.280 even ask questions like this. And at the end, told the jury to disregard the commentary about the

00:48:01.000 fingerprint cards. I mean, the genies, I mean, it's already out of the bottle. I mean,

00:48:04.960 they already heard it. Well, they're not supposed to consider it, but they're human beings.

00:48:08.860 Okay, Elizabeth, before I let you go, one more question. So, we're taking a bunch of questions

00:48:13.480 from YouTube right now. Again, I have an all-star panel that I'm going to bring on in a minute. But

00:48:18.180 before I do, we have a question from Leg7K. That is for you, Elizabeth. The question is,

00:48:24.240 hi, hope all is well. I have a question for Elizabeth Milner. What's her opinion on the jury so far?

00:48:29.620 How are they holding up? Well, I think the jury is holding up exceptionally well. I think the jury

00:48:37.000 is very much how they've always been. They've been very involved in this case. And by involved,

00:48:41.680 I mean, they're taking notes down. They're listening to this testimony. From what I can see of them,

00:48:45.640 when I'm sitting inside the gallery, I don't see any heads kind of nodding off, falling asleep,

00:48:49.760 any of that sort. But I'm kind of wondering about the jury myself, whether or not they found this

00:48:55.300 aha moment, the same as us maybe in the press or other members in the gallery, where that big

00:49:00.940 moment where we had seen that defense exhibit about the vehicle registration being to Bad Boy

00:49:06.080 Entertainment or to Bad Boy Incorporated. So, as far as I could tell from the jury, they definitely are

00:49:12.120 still very attentive from it. And they're definitely... All right. Bam. All right. Let's read some chats and

00:49:17.200 get into the other stuff real quick here, guys. I've got a subathon for y'all as well.

00:49:23.340 Daryl Philbin says, what does it mean when you kick your girl out because she now fall on your

00:49:27.160 rules and she tries to shame you in a bunch of texts with ad hominems? Also, I own my house car

00:49:32.700 50 hours. I don't know what you're talking about, bro. Brook C says, the Tay Brothers were just hit

00:49:38.120 with extradition warrant for grape and abusive women from the UK. They already had those charges,

00:49:42.140 man. That was his pet name for her. Okay. Coronals. Alan Heard says, or no. Yeah. Alan Heard says,

00:49:50.400 Poulin got blamed for everything. He didn't do. The only thing we can do is let him take that what

00:49:55.400 he wants or go to war with Clay, our military. His cookie sock was all... Okay. All right, Alan.

00:50:04.760 And then he says, Farrakhan Myron, Goody My Nose, America ain't ready to go to war. They wants to

00:50:09.220 activated 1775. Bro, please spell check your things, man. I don't know what you're saying

00:50:14.500 here. All right. Larry Hoover is free. Trump commuted his death sentence. That comes from

00:50:18.780 Nav. Appreciate you, Nav. Yeah, they commuted a sentence today. And let's see. Anything else?

00:50:27.700 Matt Murdoch says, if you haven't seen it already, can you react to the viral video on Twitter of two

00:50:32.760 female Secret Service agents fighting outside Barack's house? I mean, there's not really to

00:50:36.640 react to. They're retarded. They're fucking retarded for that. I did see the video. Two

00:50:40.540 Secret Service agents got in a fight, basically, over one of them showing up late or some shit

00:50:43.740 like that. So, yeah. All right. So, here we go. Let's get into Russia-Ukraine now. We're

00:50:49.240 going to move on to the next topic. And then I'll be on for another 40 or 50 minutes, guys.

00:50:55.180 We got another interview. We're going to do an interview with Noble Gold. We're going to talk

00:50:58.920 gold, man. We're going to talk some money. We're going to talk gold. And then we're going to do

00:51:03.300 after hours for you guys. And then we are going to, you know, have a good show for y'all.

00:51:08.660 So, let's see here. Russia bombards Ukraine with one of the largest air assaults of the war. The

00:51:13.260 attack involved nearly 370 missiles and drones. According to Ukrainian Air Force, at least 12

00:51:16.820 people were killed. Right. So, Russia launched one of its largest air assaults in Ukraine since the

00:51:23.880 start of the war, killing at least 12 people. Hours-long assault in Ukraine by Russia with missiles

00:51:28.980 and drones underscore how months of diplomatic efforts to broker a ceasefire failed to yield

00:51:34.240 a breakthrough. You guys can see absolutely fucking decimated some parts. So, there was

00:51:43.680 the second largest scale attack in two nights and a third in just a week. One of a part of

00:51:47.320 a broader recent escalation by Russia that was brought a spike in civilian casualties despite

00:51:51.740 ceasefire negotiations. Ukraine was also stepped up. Ukraine has also stepped up its own airstrikes

00:51:57.200 on Russian territory, though a smaller scale and with far fewer civilian deaths. Overnight strikes

00:52:01.920 underscore how months of diplomatic efforts to broker a ceasefire have failed to yield a breakthrough

00:52:06.220 as President Vladimir Putin of Russia has dragged his feet on agreeing to any temporary truce,

00:52:11.340 adding conditions that he knows Ukraine will not accept. And after threatening for weeks to walk away

00:52:15.900 from the negotiation, President Trump now appears to be doing exactly that, telling President Zelensky

00:52:21.100 of Ukraine last week that Russia and Ukraine would have to find a solution to the war themselves.

00:52:24.680 Oh, shit. Ukraine's Air Force said on Sunday that Russia had launched 69 ballistic and cruise missiles

00:52:29.880 along with 298 attack drones, adding that about two-thirds of the missiles and nearly all the drones

00:52:35.740 were shot down. The Air Force spokesman, Yurydian Hat, said in an interview that it was the largest

00:52:40.880 bombardment of the war in terms of number of weapons used. These numbers cannot be independently verified.

00:52:46.820 So as you guys can see, man, absolutely crazy stuff going on out there in Eastern Europe. I got a news

00:52:54.100 thing here. Tune in. I think this happened right after the attack.

00:52:57.320 Russia has intensified its strikes on Ukraine with the highest number of drones and missiles launched

00:53:05.820 in a single night yet. At one point, the whole of Ukraine was under an air alert as missiles were

00:53:11.600 fired from the Black Sea and strategic bombers in Russia. Officials in the Ukrainian capital said

00:53:17.140 around a dozen enemy drones had reached Kyiv's airspace, which forced thousands to take shelter in

00:53:22.600 metro stations and basements. It comes as the biggest prisoner of war exchange so far between

00:53:28.280 Russia and Ukraine is now complete. These are the latest pictures we've received from Ukraine.

00:53:34.700 Bruh. That is cooked.

00:53:37.220 ...in the Ukraine's capital. Twelve people are reported to have been killed in Kyiv.

00:53:41.000 The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has warned that America's silence and the silence of others

00:53:45.520 in the world only encourages Vladimir Putin. Our correspondent in Kyiv, James Waterhouse,

00:53:51.660 says the impact of the overnight strikes are far-reaching.

00:53:55.820 This was a night where, according to Ukraine's air force, you've got more than 360 missiles and drones.

00:54:01.640 That is the highest number yet since Russia started launching these huge air assaults in late 2022.

00:54:11.100 In the time since, Moscow has been able to manufacture these drones at a much faster rate.

00:54:18.800 There's also an arms race when it comes to drones between Ukraine and Russia.

00:54:23.680 Both are being fitted with more sophisticated technology and packed with...

00:54:27.840 Yeah, Russia makes its own drones and they also get drones from Iran as well.

00:54:31.960 ...more explosives. And I think that is now translating into, you know, the case of this weekend

00:54:36.840 for cities like Kyiv, 48 hours of pretty sustained bombardment.

00:54:41.660 I mean, last night, the sirens went at midnight and there were explosions right all the way through until sunrise.

00:54:48.620 I mean, the skies were lit up with searchlights and you could hear air defences going off.

00:54:54.000 You could see the occasional drone intercepted. You could hear their motors.

00:54:57.720 And several regions in central, northern, southern Ukraine were targeted in this way.

00:55:04.240 And that is why President Zelenskyy is again urging his allies to put more pressure on Russia

00:55:08.960 to not just stop fighting, stop these aerial assaults, but also to engage in a ceasefire.

00:55:15.500 But at the moment, his calls are falling on deaf ears.

00:55:18.660 So, now let's go ahead and talk about how they did this.

00:55:22.260 So let me show you guys some footage of the attack.

00:55:24.460 Look at this. This comes from The Guardian.

00:55:25.620 Look at that. Fucking huge ballistic missile right there.

00:55:29.480 Let me see if I can make this bigger for you guys somehow.

00:55:38.620 Look at that. Launched the capital by rushing overnight.

00:55:42.380 Look at that explosion.

00:55:46.800 It's among the deadliest attacks on Kiev in the three-year war.

00:55:52.740 Nine people have been killed and more than 60 wounded.

00:55:54.840 That I think, like I said before, the number's up to 12 now.

00:56:12.120 So, you guys are probably wondering, how did Russia actually pull this off?

00:56:15.160 Here's a video from AI Telly.

00:56:16.820 Really good video.

00:56:17.540 Why and how Russia is relaunching his attacks on Ukraine explained.

00:56:19.780 Let's go ahead and go into this thing.

00:56:22.560 I like this channel a lot.

00:56:26.760 There's aerial assaults of the war against...

00:56:28.600 And then I'll also explain how the hell we got here.

00:56:30.980 Iamzeva says,

00:56:32.360 Hey, Mario, completely off topic, but would you like...

00:56:34.440 But would like your opinion on purchasing this house for $130,000 to $150,000,

00:56:37.380 30 miles from downtown Dallas.

00:56:39.720 Two bed, two bathroom, square feet for the house.

00:56:43.840 All seen minor mold, leaking water and plumbing, good or bad buy.

00:56:47.940 Bro, I'd have to, like, look at the numbers and stuff like that.

00:56:51.020 I'd have to look at the numbers.

00:56:52.480 I do that for people on Cals Club.

00:56:53.980 If you're a member of Cals Club, jump on Cals Club,

00:56:55.780 and when we do our Zoom call,

00:56:57.080 I'll definitely go through the numbers with you.

00:57:00.900 Russian attack 100% justified from this guy.

00:57:03.060 Okay, that's from Tay.

00:57:04.500 Now let me see if there's anything else I missed.

00:57:06.860 All Russian nukes...

00:57:08.620 Guys, five and up is what I read.

00:57:10.820 I'll show you a chat on air, but I'm reading five and up.

00:57:15.640 Unless it's Cals Club.

00:57:16.820 Cals Club, I read no matter what.

00:57:18.780 ...Ukraine deploying a record number of drones and missiles

00:57:21.960 in a coordinated multi-night campaign.

00:57:23.940 These strikes targeted more than 30 cities and regions

00:57:27.400 across the country.

00:57:29.140 In an average single night,

00:57:30.440 Russia reportedly launched approximately 367 drones and missiles.

00:57:35.900 Ukrainian sources confirmed that this included 298 drones and 69 missiles.

00:57:41.640 Despite the scale of the attack, Ukrainian air defenses...

00:57:44.940 ...they successfully intercepted the majority of the projectiles,

00:57:47.940 reportedly...

00:57:48.540 Yeah, air defenses that us in Europe gave them.

00:57:50.420 ...shooting down 266 out of the 298...

00:57:53.940 That's not bad.

00:57:55.500 That's like damn near 90%.

00:57:57.560 ...drones and 45 of...

00:57:59.140 So roughly 30-something got out.

00:58:01.580 30, 30, um, roughly 30-something, 32 of the drones got through.

00:58:09.680 ...the missiles.

00:58:10.140 These missiles were launched, including multiple cruise missiles,

00:58:14.980 and not to forget the caliber ballistic missiles.

00:58:17.740 In addition, a dozen KH-59 or KH-69 missiles,

00:58:22.140 along with hundreds of drone, were also used.

00:58:24.600 This is how the assault followed a strategic sequence.

00:58:27.700 The slower drone-like Shahid came first,

00:58:30.380 followed by the faster LANCIP drones.

00:58:32.880 The Shahid drones, if I'm not mistaken, I think those are Iranian drones, Chad.

00:58:35.880 Then came the cruise missiles, and finally, the ballistic missiles.

00:58:40.780 These are perfectly timed so that they more or less...

00:58:43.240 And the reason why is you send the drones out first,

00:58:45.440 and then these other missiles, the cheaper missiles,

00:58:46.940 you send all those missiles out first so that they get intercepted,

00:58:49.620 so the air defense wastes their missiles to shoot down the cheaper missiles,

00:58:54.040 and then the ballistics, the missiles that actually, you know,

00:58:56.780 have the most potential to cause damage, those are last.

00:59:01.020 ...reach at the same time to create chaos.

00:59:06.120 Let's examine why Russia is focused on retaking areas in northeastern Ukraine.

00:59:10.600 In addition to its ongoing aerial offensive,

00:59:13.280 Russia has been amassing troops along the Ukrainian border.

00:59:16.400 The apparent goal is to put pressure on Ukrainian forces stationed in the region,

00:59:20.320 effectively pinning them in place.

00:59:23.860 This strategy is designed to prevent Ukrainian troops from redeploying to the south,

00:59:28.420 where they're...

00:59:28.880 Now, this is very important, because Russia has occupied this area.

00:59:32.440 This is called the Crimea Peninsula, down here, guys.

00:59:36.340 And let's go ahead and show you guys this on a map.

00:59:40.560 Right?

00:59:40.960 And Russia has pretty much controlled this territory since, you know, like 2014.

00:59:52.080 Right?

00:59:52.440 Right.

00:59:58.880 There we go.

01:00:00.220 Boom.

01:00:01.900 All right.

01:00:02.180 Here we go.

01:00:04.260 So, here you go.

01:00:05.420 You go on a grand scale, right?

01:00:06.720 Look at Russia.

01:00:07.400 Huge.

01:00:07.860 11 different time zones.

01:00:08.980 Ukraine over here, also pretty big.

01:00:10.300 I think Ukraine, if I'm not mistaken, is about the size of Texas.

01:00:13.040 So, here is Crimea.

01:00:15.140 And this is what, basically, Russia holds onto, because it's a very important strategic point

01:00:20.920 where they have access to the waterways.

01:00:22.660 Okay?

01:00:22.860 And they took this over back in around 2014.

01:00:24.900 And a lot of eastern Ukraine, as you guys can see here, is pretty much controlled by Russia

01:00:29.640 now at this point.

01:00:30.180 Also, you guys got to understand that a lot of these areas are ethnically Russian people.

01:00:34.440 Okay?

01:00:34.900 So, that's another reason, as well, why they kind of voted to get out of Ukraine.

01:00:40.860 Let's keep going.

01:00:42.320 Where are we at here?

01:00:43.260 Yep.

01:00:43.760 They're urgently needed to counter Russia's summer offensives.

01:00:47.240 By opening a new front in the northeast, Russia aims to divert Ukrainian forces away

01:00:51.860 from other critical areas in the east and south, where Russian forces have been making

01:00:55.940 slow but steady progress.

01:00:58.000 This tactic is intended to stretch and weaken Ukrainian defense.

01:01:00.960 Yeah, I was going to bring Scott Ritter on today, guys, but he has a tight schedule.

01:01:04.560 Don't worry, I'll bring him back, though.

01:01:06.100 Fences across multiple fronts.

01:01:09.760 One of Russia's key objectives appears to be a strategically important city in the northeast.

01:01:14.800 It serves as a military hub with inherited Soviet-era military infrastructure, including

01:01:19.540 arms depots and air vape.

01:01:20.900 Now, if I'm not mistaken, Kharkiv is where Gonzalo Lira, aka Coach Redpill, was, if I'm not

01:01:28.160 mistaken, before he passed away.

01:01:31.620 When the conflict first started, I think that's where he was.

01:01:35.360 Its location, just 20 miles from the Russian border.

01:01:38.600 And yes, the Ukrainians killed him.

01:01:39.940 The SVU killed him, man, unfortunately.

01:01:42.160 Recipes to him.

01:01:43.240 Logistically feasible and attractive.

01:01:44.940 He was right the whole fucking time, because I remember he was on the ground reporting on

01:01:48.220 this war back when it first started, and he said that Ukraine is losing, and they came

01:01:52.420 and they fucking kidnapped his ass.

01:01:53.840 Their secret police service.

01:01:54.940 These pieces of shit right here, if you guys are wondering.

01:02:01.100 Or is it SBU?

01:02:02.860 Always get it mixed up.

01:02:09.100 SBU.

01:02:09.560 I'm sorry, John.

01:02:10.800 Not SBU.

01:02:11.660 SBU as in Bravo.

01:02:12.540 Yeah, these guys right here, man.

01:02:15.720 These guys killed fucking Coach Redpill, man.

01:02:18.580 These fucking scumbags.

01:02:20.120 Yeah, so they're the main internal security agency of the Ukrainian government.

01:02:23.360 Its main duties include counterintelligence activity in combating organized crime and

01:02:25.940 terrorism.

01:02:26.240 Super fucking crap, these guys, man.

01:02:32.200 Basically, there's like secret police.

01:02:36.120 Target for Russian forces.

01:02:38.520 Why is Kharkiv so hard to capture?

01:02:40.540 You think Kharkiv would be easy to take.

01:02:42.580 It's just 30 kilometers from the Russian border.

01:02:45.220 But that actually works against Russia.

01:02:48.580 The moment they try to gather troops or equipment near the city, they're exposed to Ukrainian artillery

01:02:53.440 and counterattacks, including strikes coming from across the border.

01:02:58.040 And the terrain around Kharkiv, it's wide open and flat and nightmare for attacking forces.

01:03:03.500 And also, guys, know this.

01:03:05.260 As an attacking country, right, you have way less leverage and you are going to, it's much

01:03:11.100 harder to be an attacking country versus a defending country.

01:03:14.260 So Russia invading, they're inevitably going to be put in a position of disadvantage because

01:03:19.900 whenever you are attacking, you have to basically, you don't know the territory as well as the

01:03:24.660 defending nation.

01:03:25.920 So the defending nation has a significant, significant advantage.

01:03:29.780 This is why people like bin Laden and the Mujahideen were able to fight off the Soviets because

01:03:35.340 they couldn't traverse the Afghanistan mountains and fight them effectively.

01:03:39.720 Right?

01:03:39.860 This is why we had such a hard time in the Middle East, you know, going after these Afghanis and

01:03:45.160 these other terrorists in these countries because they knew the terrain and the terrain was to

01:03:49.080 their advantage, very mountainous, difficult to find, etc.

01:03:52.540 Russian troops become easy targets for Ukraine's drones, precision artillery and long-range

01:03:57.100 weapons.

01:03:58.160 There's very little natural cover.

01:04:01.740 Ukraine's also spent years fortifying the city.

01:04:05.120 There are reinforced defensive lines, trenches and barriers surrounding Kharkiv.

01:04:10.280 They've laid minefields and anti-tank traps along the major approach routes.

01:04:15.540 Inside the city, it's even more complex.

01:04:17.880 Ukraine has turned the urban environment itself into a weapon, using buildings, subways and

01:04:23.160 civilian infrastructure to move, hide and fight.

01:04:27.300 As we're watching this while you are in flight mode and you're being bombarded with all kinds

01:04:31.520 of spam emails, jump calls.

01:04:33.620 Ukraine, we need to try...

01:04:34.540 All right, so now we're going to get into why Russia invaded Ukraine.

01:04:37.180 This is very important, Chad.

01:04:38.000 I'm going to add some commentary here as well to give you more context on some of this stuff

01:04:41.680 because a lot of people aren't necessarily as familiar with, you know, Russian and Ukrainian

01:04:46.760 geopolitics and what's going on.

01:04:48.620 So let's get into it.

01:04:49.760 To really understand why Putin invaded Ukraine, we need to try seeing things from his or Russia's

01:04:54.540 point of view.

01:04:55.620 Which the Western media almost never fucking does.

01:04:58.580 And for that, we have to rewind all the way back to the Soviet era.

01:05:03.200 At that time, Russia controlled a vast expanse of land across Europe and its borders were

01:05:07.800 much easier to defend.

01:05:09.440 The Northern European plain, which runs through much of Eastern Europe, didn't extend as

01:05:13.620 far into Russia, making it harder for invaders to reach the Russian heartland.

01:05:18.100 If Meghto had wanted to strike, it would have had to pass through a narrow, flat region in

01:05:22.400 central Germany.

01:05:23.040 After the fall of the Soviet Union, the political insecurity...

01:05:26.480 And this was in the early 90s, right around 1990, 1991, the fall of the Soviet Union happened,

01:05:30.660 which obviously was a very dark time for Russia, an extremely dark time for Russia.

01:05:35.560 And Putin was not in power yet.

01:05:37.760 I think he might have been at KGB at this point.

01:05:40.120 Security situation in Europe changed...

01:05:42.000 He's former KGB.

01:05:43.220 ...dramatically.

01:05:44.280 NATO, which was originally a defensive alliance, began expanding steadily.

01:05:48.040 Now, this is what the Western media never, ever talks about.

01:05:50.720 How NATO expansion provoked Russia into doing what they did in February of 2022.

01:05:57.200 The reality is, is that, look, if you're going to continue to expand NATO closer and closer

01:06:02.300 and closer to Russia's, to Moscow, well, that's a problem for them because now their national

01:06:07.600 security is threatened, right?

01:06:09.340 And the thing is, is that, you know, we have to be very honest with ourselves here.

01:06:14.360 I said this yesterday and I'll say it again.

01:06:15.440 Putin had more justification to enter Ukraine, right, and conduct this conflict than we did

01:06:22.000 invading Iraq.

01:06:23.980 And some people like, some people agree with me on that, some people get mad at me for

01:06:26.960 that, some people say, oh, you're a Russian shill, blah, blah, blah.

01:06:29.140 No, the reality is, I understand that other countries are going to want to practice national

01:06:32.720 security to protect their sovereignty, right?

01:06:35.100 We're not the only country that has national security measures where we want to, you know,

01:06:38.880 ensure that we're in a position where we're not necessarily vulnerable to our enemies.

01:06:42.620 Same exact situation with Russia.

01:06:44.580 Ukraine, which has been a Soviet Union territory forever, right?

01:06:50.420 A lot of these Ukrainians, especially in Eastern Ukraine, are ethnically Russians.

01:06:54.660 They're basically like brothers.

01:06:55.840 So he looks at it like, yo, if Ukraine falls and becomes a member of NATO, which is what

01:07:00.920 Zelensky was trying to do, by the way, FYI, he was trying to join NATO.

01:07:04.460 He absolutely was, despite the fact that he says that he wasn't.

01:07:06.840 He was, right?

01:07:08.620 That would have been really bad for Russia from a national security perspective.

01:07:12.880 And the problem with this is that we've been promising Russia that we're not going to expand

01:07:15.960 NATO for decades.

01:07:17.460 Multiple presidents have promised all the way back to fucking Lincoln.

01:07:21.060 I said Lincoln, excuse me.

01:07:22.220 Clinton.

01:07:22.860 Lincoln.

01:07:23.840 Clinton, right?

01:07:25.900 Since fucking Bill Clinton was in office, we've been promising that we would not expand NATO.

01:07:31.160 But we kept doing it.

01:07:31.900 In 1999, countries like Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic joined.

01:07:38.000 Then in 2004, NATO added Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, Slovakia.

01:07:42.580 And you guys can see here, they're gaining power, strength, and numbers.

01:07:45.940 Obviously, Russia's looking at this from Moscow like, fuck.

01:07:49.420 Albania, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.

01:07:51.680 In the following years, Croatia and Albania became members in 2009, Montenegro in 2017,

01:07:58.580 and North Macedonia in 2020.

01:08:01.180 As NATO continued to expand eastward, Russia became increasingly alarmed.

01:08:06.100 Its greatest fear was that Ukraine, which shares a 2000...

01:08:09.680 And that was the last stronghold.

01:08:12.180 Ukraine was supposed to be the last stronghold, and that was the red line.

01:08:14.860 So, that is a big reason why they invaded.

01:08:18.640 And it's amazing to me how American media never covers this.

01:08:22.020 They never talk about this.

01:08:23.080 They just say, pulling bad, pulling bad.

01:08:24.860 Russia evil, Russia evil.

01:08:26.120 Dictator, dictator.

01:08:26.980 But they don't talk about why he did what he did.

01:08:29.560 They don't talk about how he lied to the Russians for decades, saying,

01:08:32.960 we will not expand NATO.

01:08:33.900 We will not expand NATO.

01:08:34.820 We will not go ahead and be right up on your border.

01:08:36.740 But we kept doing it anyway.

01:08:38.300 You got people like Zelensky, who, by the way, is a puppet.

01:08:41.000 He was put in power by the West, okay, because he is favorable to the West,

01:08:45.640 hence why he's getting all this aid right now.

01:08:47.440 He is a puppet, okay?

01:08:49.520 Back in 2013, 2014-ish, guys, there was a coup, okay, in Ukraine,

01:08:54.300 a color revolution.

01:08:55.480 And basically what happened with this, I think it's called the Maidan revolution,

01:08:57.980 if I'm not mistaken.

01:08:58.660 Someone in chat, please correct me if I'm wrong, right?

01:09:00.800 Actually, you know what?

01:09:01.280 Let's go ahead and just look it up.

01:09:02.160 I think it's called the Maidan revolution.

01:09:04.260 Let's see here if I am correct.

01:09:11.000 Boom.

01:09:12.960 Damn, I'm good.

01:09:13.680 All right.

01:09:14.640 The revolution of dignity.

01:09:17.560 What is the, what's the actual thing for it, though?

01:09:20.440 Okay, or also known as the Maidan revolution.

01:09:22.660 Bam.

01:09:22.980 Let's go, baby.

01:09:23.680 Let's fucking go.

01:09:25.920 This is all off top, by the way, right?

01:09:28.760 Took place in Ukraine in February 2014 at the end of the Euro Maiden protest

01:09:32.000 when deadly clashes between protests in the state force in the capital of Kiev

01:09:34.840 culminated in the ousting of President Viktor Yanukovych.

01:09:41.120 The return of the 2004 Constitution of Ukraine and the outbreak of 2014 Russo-Ukrainian war.

01:09:46.180 Basically, long story short, we were involved in a color revolution to topple a pro-Russia

01:09:52.480 influence government and put a more Western-friendly government.

01:09:58.500 And the thing is, is that this isn't a battle of Russia versus Ukraine.

01:10:02.660 This is a battle of, is Ukraine going to get Russian influence or are they going to get

01:10:07.460 Western influence?

01:10:08.160 That's the reality, okay?

01:10:09.340 That's what this war really is, okay?

01:10:11.440 It's not about Ukraine.

01:10:12.940 It's about who is Ukraine going to be influenced by?

01:10:15.400 Are they going to be influenced by the NATO powers, the United States and Western Europe?

01:10:18.700 Are they going to be influenced by Russia?

01:10:21.720 And Putin looked at it like, if we're not influencing you, we're not going to let the

01:10:24.880 West influence you.

01:10:25.900 And that's why he basically invaded.

01:10:27.160 Because Zelensky was basically flirting with and more than likely trying to push to get

01:10:32.200 into NATO.

01:10:33.740 And this revolution here back in 2013, 2014 was kind of the first shot that no one ever

01:10:38.000 talks about, especially in Western media, especially in Western media.

01:10:42.340 No one ever talks about this, how we fucking toppled their government with intelligence agencies

01:10:47.020 from the West.

01:10:47.720 So in November 2013, a wave of large-scale protests known as the Euromaiden began in response to

01:10:55.340 President Yanukovych's decision not to sign a political association of free trade agreement

01:10:59.660 with the European Union.

01:11:01.240 Why?

01:11:01.760 Because he was a bit more pro-Russia, instead of choosing closer ties to Russia.

01:11:07.600 The Euromaiden soon developed into the largest democratic mass movement in Europe since 1989.

01:11:12.200 Earlier that year, the Verkova Rada, that's their parliament, had overwhelmingly approved

01:11:17.520 finalizing the EU Association Agreement.

01:11:19.860 Russia had pressured Ukraine to reject it.

01:11:21.340 The scope of the protests widened with calls for the resignation of Yanukovych.

01:11:26.940 And the Azerov government protesters opposed what they saw as widespread government corruption

01:11:30.380 and abuse of power, the influence of Russian oligarchs, police brutality, human rights violations,

01:11:35.260 and repressive anti-protest laws.

01:11:36.700 Long story short, the government didn't like the fact that Yanukovych wanted to be more

01:11:40.360 pro-Russia, and they overthrew him.

01:11:42.620 And they were absolutely assisted by Western intelligence agencies.

01:11:46.840 Okay?

01:11:47.500 This is really when the war started, chat.

01:11:49.440 FYI.

01:11:50.860 But Western media fucking never covers this.

01:11:55.460 They start the conflict, just like the Zionists, just like the Zionists always talk about the

01:11:59.560 conflict starting on October 7th, people that are pro-Ukraine never talk about this conflict

01:12:04.480 happening in 2013, 2014-ish.

01:12:06.500 Ever.

01:12:06.920 They never talk about this.

01:12:08.140 They just go right to February of 2022.

01:12:11.600 Anyway, let's keep going.

01:12:15.780 Give me one thing in the chat if that makes sense, guys.

01:12:17.980 Give me one thing in the chat if that makes sense.

01:12:19.260 And I really want you guys to understand this because the mainstream media will not show

01:12:27.640 this shit.

01:12:28.380 For a long time, guys, if you had a podcast or a YouTube channel where you talked about

01:12:35.660 the Russian perspective of this, you would get fucking banned.

01:12:38.840 Jackson Hinkle got banned for this shit.

01:12:42.100 Gonzalo Lira got killed for this shit.

01:12:45.500 Right?

01:12:45.880 Scott Ritter, also heavily shadow banned on YouTube and everywhere else for talking about

01:12:50.120 this.

01:12:54.200 Awesome, awesome, awesome.

01:12:58.580 I don't know why they don't invite Russia to NATO.

01:13:00.540 Good question.

01:13:01.440 So this actually came out when Tucker interviewed Putin, guys.

01:13:04.520 And Russia actually wanted to join NATO, but you know why they didn't let Russia in?

01:13:09.160 I'll tell you why.

01:13:12.040 Three words, my friends.

01:13:19.800 Military-industrial complex.

01:13:21.660 That is why.

01:13:22.520 Those three words are why they will not allow Russia into NATO.

01:13:25.700 Because you need an enemy to justify arm sales, arm export, and continue to have this global

01:13:32.740 weapons marketplace that is worth billions, if not billions of dollars.

01:13:36.860 You need an enemy to justify weapon sales.

01:13:39.920 And Russia is that enemy.

01:13:41.860 That is why they will not allow Russia into NATO.

01:13:44.880 That is why they will not necessarily have peace.

01:13:47.060 Because the arms trade, the weapons trade, is far too lucrative.

01:13:51.880 Okay?

01:13:52.540 They need conflict to make money.

01:13:54.340 War makes money.

01:13:55.640 Makes a lot of people rich.

01:13:57.540 All right?

01:13:58.180 So that is why.

01:14:00.200 Good question, though.

01:14:01.700 Good question.

01:14:02.360 And that's the red pill that no one wants to hear.

01:14:06.060 That's the red pill that nobody wants to hear when I talk about how Russia wanted to join

01:14:11.040 NATO.

01:14:12.260 And I think it was Clinton, if I'm not mistaken, stiffed him.

01:14:14.820 It was Clinton or Bush.

01:14:16.280 Bush Jr.

01:14:17.120 One of those two stiffed him.

01:14:20.540 Let's get back to it.

01:14:21.500 A hundred kilometer border with Russia might eventually be invited to join the alliance.

01:14:27.000 For Moscow, that would have been a huge strategic problem.

01:14:30.300 The idea of NATO moving closer to Russia's doorstep was something it simply couldn't overlook.

01:14:34.780 All right, someone says it was Clinton.

01:14:35.860 Okay, cool.

01:14:36.600 Thank you.

01:14:37.160 Thank you.

01:14:39.140 Yeah, I knew it was either Bush or Clinton that would not let him into NATO.

01:14:43.800 Let's take a look at the timeline from 2014.

01:14:48.480 Ukrainian President Viktor Yendukovych abruptly pulls back from signing the long-anticipated

01:14:53.020 free trade agreement with the European Union.

01:14:57.340 The decision sparks massive protests across the country.

01:15:00.620 Which we paid for, by the way.

01:15:02.720 We paid for these protests.

01:15:03.960 We paid for this color revolution.

01:15:05.240 United States and the Western powers.

01:15:06.920 They wanted this government overthrown.

01:15:09.120 As many Ukrainians see the move as a step away from European integration and a tilt

01:15:14.080 toward Russia.

01:15:15.520 March 2014, with Russian troops already in control of Crimea, the region's parliament

01:15:22.920 votes to secede for Ukraine.

01:15:23.880 Also, just so you guys know, Crimea is like 90% ethnically Russian as well.

01:15:29.360 Ukraine enjoined Russia.

01:15:31.920 A public...

01:15:32.400 Also, just so you guys know, when Russia invaded Ukraine and took it, when Russia took Crimea,

01:15:37.560 Crimea, we sanctioned the fuck out of them.

01:15:40.100 The Obama administration sanctioned the hell out of Russia back then when this all happened.

01:15:45.920 And it actually hurt Russia's economy quite a bit.

01:15:48.260 So Russia, knowing that the United States can sanction them at any time and freeze their

01:15:52.860 money, which I think we still have a bunch of their money frozen up, right?

01:15:55.700 What did they do?

01:15:56.700 They started leaning on partners like China, North Korea, etc.

01:16:00.620 They started trying to make their own currency with bricks.

01:16:02.740 And on top of that, Putin bought a bunch of fucking gold.

01:16:06.700 So when they invaded in 2022, guess what?

01:16:09.060 The sanctions from the West have not hurt them that much.

01:16:11.760 Russia's like the fifth strongest economy in the world now, despite the fact that we

01:16:15.320 are heavily sanctioning them from their invasion of Ukraine.

01:16:18.780 So this, my friends, is why Putin has no real need to negotiate with the United States.

01:16:24.200 For what?

01:16:25.020 The sanctions don't hurt him.

01:16:26.220 He has a bunch of gold.

01:16:27.360 The economy's gotten stronger.

01:16:28.780 He insulated himself preparing for this invasion of 2022.

01:16:31.640 Trust me, they've been talking about doing this invasion for a very long time because

01:16:34.380 they always didn't like the fact that Ukraine was fighting with NATO.

01:16:37.160 And he finally pulled the trigger and made it happen.

01:16:39.160 And at that point, they had themselves ready to deal with a sanctioned Russia because they

01:16:44.300 were self-sufficient.

01:16:45.920 That's what happened, chat.

01:16:46.880 And this is what Western media doesn't want you guys to know.

01:16:49.720 This stuff right here, if I told you guys this two years ago, I'd get banned on fucking YouTube.

01:16:55.120 Deadass.

01:16:55.920 They're considering it misinformation, misinformation because the Biden administration didn't

01:17:00.940 want you guys knowing the truth when it comes to what's going on with this conflict with

01:17:04.280 Ukraine and Russia.

01:17:06.460 Why?

01:17:06.720 Because the Biden family has an enormous stake in Ukraine.

01:17:10.940 Okay?

01:17:11.520 Enormous.

01:17:12.700 During Obama's presidency, one of the things that Biden spent a significant amount of time

01:17:16.760 doing when he was vice president was visiting Ukraine.

01:17:19.320 Okay?

01:17:19.720 He pushed to get a prosecutor fired.

01:17:21.720 Literally talked about it on open air.

01:17:23.620 Right?

01:17:24.480 Super corrupt.

01:17:25.460 Him and his son, Burisma, all that.

01:17:26.740 They had a bunch of business dealings with the Ukrainians.

01:17:29.500 That is why we came to Ukraine's aid so heavily back in 2022 when this all happened.

01:17:34.740 Okay?

01:17:35.400 And also, Russia felt emboldened because Biden's a fucking retard.

01:17:38.820 And now we're in a mess that we can't really get out of.

01:17:40.660 It's very difficult.

01:17:41.700 Even Trump is having a tough time coordinating and negotiating with Putin right now because

01:17:45.240 he has all the cards.

01:17:46.560 He has all the cards.

01:17:47.480 The sanctions don't do shit.

01:17:48.740 He's winning the war.

01:17:49.760 He wants to go ahead and get as much territory as he can so he ensures that NATO will no longer

01:17:53.540 come to us doorsteps and he's tried to negotiate and make peace before, but we violated it.

01:17:59.900 The Minsk agreements, etc.

01:18:01.120 We violated so many different agreements that we've made with Russia.

01:18:03.580 We're not expanding NATO.

01:18:05.980 So, yes, the sanctions don't do shit anymore.

01:18:09.420 The referendum follows with 97% of voters reportedly supporting the move,

01:18:14.280 though the results are widely disputed by the international community.

01:18:17.560 April 2014, tensions escalate as 40,000 Russian troops amass on Ukraine's eastern border.

01:18:25.180 Violence erupts in the Donbass region where...

01:18:27.280 Now, the reason why this is so big, guys, is because the Ukrainians were killing these

01:18:31.080 ethnic Russians that wanted to separate from Ukraine.

01:18:37.340 So the Russian military mobilized to try to protect these ethnic Russians.

01:18:41.120 Pro-Russian separatists clash with Ukrainian forces.

01:18:44.920 April 2021...

01:18:45.560 It was damn near a genocide.

01:18:47.500 They massacred those people.

01:18:48.660 Russia ramps up its military presence near Ukraine, deploying around 100,000 troops to

01:18:53.440 the border.

01:18:54.860 And just so you guys know, so you get a mind of what kind of man Putin is, Putin is a hardcore

01:18:59.040 Russian nationalist.

01:19:01.280 Okay?

01:19:02.440 Hardcore.

01:19:03.560 Okay?

01:19:04.180 A lot of people call him a fascist, whatever the fuck you want to call him.

01:19:06.680 But the point is, he cares very much for the Russian people.

01:19:10.660 In response, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky calls on...

01:19:14.120 Yeah, comes into power now.

01:19:15.220 Zelensky got put into power after that other guy got fucking toppled, and Zelensky is a puppet

01:19:19.300 for the West.

01:19:20.220 NATO to accelerate...

01:19:21.560 An actor slash comedian slash cokehead.

01:19:24.020 ...Ukraine's path to membership, citing growing security concerns.

01:19:28.320 This is a map of Ukraine in the year 2022.

01:19:31.560 The area marked in red shows Crimea, which Russia had already annexed.

01:19:35.820 This is February 2022.

01:19:37.280 At this point, a critical mistake was made by the Russian generals.

01:19:41.460 They assumed that taking Ukraine would be easy and spread their forces across the country.

01:19:46.000 This is the map from March 2022.

01:19:48.660 The areas marked in red and checkered show the rapid advance of the Russian army.

01:19:52.480 However, on November 22nd, this is where things took an unexpected turn.

01:19:58.260 Ukraine fought back fiercely, reclaiming...

01:20:00.200 No, the West fought back fiercely.

01:20:03.440 The West fought back fiercely.

01:20:05.180 It wasn't Ukraine.

01:20:05.860 It was our weapons, our technology, our resources.

01:20:09.320 ...significant ground and shocking the Russian military.

01:20:11.780 By February 2025, the Russian army appears to be making some advances,

01:20:16.620 but at a much slower pace than anticipated.

01:20:19.280 You guys can see they pretty much got the southeast portion of Ukraine

01:20:23.100 pretty much dominated and controlled.

01:20:25.500 This is how Russia is using these Orland drones capable of penetrating up to 600 kilometers...

01:20:30.260 And like I said before, Crimea, that peninsula is critical for the Russians

01:20:33.140 because it's a strategic port for them.

01:20:35.060 ...to Ukrainian territory.

01:20:36.640 The second type of drones are FPV, guided by...

01:20:38.860 I think they have their Navy station there, if I'm not mistaken.

01:20:41.400 ...fiber optic cables.

01:20:43.060 These have a range of only 1 kilometer, or about 1.2 miles.

01:20:48.380 Standard FPV, or first-person view drones, on the other hand,

01:20:51.840 have a range of 10 kilometers, or roughly 5 miles and more.

01:20:56.260 Next are the Lancet drones.

01:20:57.840 These are advanced main battle tank killers capable of flying for 40 kilometers,

01:21:02.400 or about 24 miles.

01:21:04.840 Finally, there are the Iranian Shahid drones,

01:21:06.900 which can travel up to 1,000 kilometers, or approximately 620 miles.

01:21:12.400 These drones can cause significant damage when launched in large numbers.

01:21:16.020 More details, all in the video ahead.

01:21:19.120 In the era of drone warfare, Russia's strategy unfolds through a series of coordinated stages,

01:21:24.740 each designed to maximize the effectiveness of their aerial assets.

01:21:28.620 Stage 1.

01:21:29.180 Surveillance and Target Acquisition

01:21:31.000 The first stage involves the use of Orland drones for surveillance.

01:21:35.160 These drones are critical in scanning the battlefield for Ukrainian targets,

01:21:38.580 serving as the tip of the spear in the process of identifying and selection.

01:21:43.620 Stage 2.

01:21:44.780 Precision Strikes with Lancet Drones

01:21:46.420 Once targets, such as Ukrainian tanks or Jepard anti-aircraft guns, are identified,

01:21:52.360 the next step is to launch Lancet drones.

01:21:55.400 These drones are deployed to destroy or severely damage the identified targets with precision.

01:22:01.240 Before we examine how it works, let's look at its parts.

01:22:04.360 Although the Lancet can be operated by a two-man crew,

01:22:07.380 but behind the scene, it has a number of parts that helps it to operate in the battlefield.

01:22:12.080 Number 1.

01:22:13.140 It requires a catapult to launch a drone.

01:22:15.100 Number 2.

01:22:17.540 An Orland drone that is responsible for navigation and observation for the Lancet.

01:22:22.580 Number 3.

01:22:24.100 A command and control center is required to operate the Orland as well as the Lancet drone.

01:22:29.120 As data regarding the Lancet drone are still classified,

01:22:32.580 let's take a look at the parts as a possible theory.

01:22:35.400 Again, I repeat, this is a possible theory of the engineering behind the drone.

01:22:39.880 At the front of the drone is the electro-optical guidance systems.

01:22:42.900 These cameras act as a light-contrasting edge of the target, dark or light against the general background to track and guide itself.

01:22:50.940 In short, it acts as a guidance mechanism.

01:22:53.800 Just behind the guidance system is the warhead.

01:22:55.920 It is the typical KZ-6, a high-explosive circular, shaped charge, used for demolition primarily to penetrate armor and reinforced concrete fortifications.

01:23:06.080 Moving to the back is the electric-powered engine that propels the drone to the standard speed of 110 kilometers per hour or 68 miles per hour.

01:23:16.860 Interestingly, this drone can operate only for 40 minutes, almost similar to the Switchblade 600.

01:23:22.280 These are the step-by-step process of how this works.

01:23:27.460 Step number one.

01:23:28.800 Two soldiers launch a surveillance drone named Orland using a catapult system.

01:23:32.980 Step number two.

01:23:34.340 The Orland drone tracks and selects targets.

01:23:37.000 Step number three.

01:23:38.340 A soldier unfolds the Lancet drone wings and sets it up for catapult launch.

01:23:42.740 Step number four.

01:23:44.060 The Orland command and control system transfer data target to the Lancet drone.

01:23:47.640 Step number five.

01:23:49.820 The Lancet drone switches to its electro-optical guidance systems as directed by the Orland command and control center.

01:23:56.040 Step number six.

01:23:57.280 The Lancet drone will dive into the target and activate the typical KZ-6, a high-explosive circular, shaped charge, used for demolition, primarily to penetrate armor and reinforced concrete fortifications.

01:24:08.880 Let's simplify again through these animations.

01:24:11.540 The Orland command and control system transfers target data to the Lancet drone.

01:24:15.080 The Lancet switches to its electro-optical guidance systems to track its target.

01:24:20.300 It then descends upon the target using its KZ-6 explosives to penetrate light armor, artillery, guns, or trucks.

01:24:27.140 Stage three.

01:24:28.560 Saturation attacks with Shahid drones.

01:24:31.240 In the third stage, Russia employs low-cost Iranian Shahid drones, which are launched in large numbers, sometimes up to 200 at a time.

01:24:38.840 The affordability of these drones allows for mass deployment, overwhelming Ukrainian defenses, and increasing the likelihood of successful strikes.

01:24:47.120 The sheer volume of Shahid drones in the air serves to saturate the battlefield, making it difficult for Ukrainian forces to counter all of them.

01:24:54.300 Do check out our original animated video on anti-aircraft gun, like the M2 Browning, how to fire at an enemy aircraft, and the ZU-23 and how to operate them.

01:25:05.320 So stay subscribed to not miss a beat.

01:25:07.080 All right.

01:25:12.940 I got to get going here in a little bit, guys.

01:25:15.780 Well, let's go ahead.

01:25:16.980 Now we're going to go ahead and get into Trump responding to these attacks.

01:25:21.760 The New York Post cover calling out the, quote, war of words between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

01:25:29.100 Tensions are rising after...

01:25:30.080 Now we know why Putin attacked in the first place back in 2022.

01:25:33.980 We see what the war is going on now.

01:25:35.340 We saw how they attacked just now.

01:25:36.580 Recently now, here's Trump's response, because he's been trying to make a deal with these guys for a while.

01:25:40.360 Russia launched its largest attacks of the entire three-year war this weekend.

01:25:44.780 Here's the president on Sunday.

01:25:47.740 I'm not happy with what Putin's doing.

01:25:50.240 He's killing a lot of people, and I don't know what the hell happened.

01:25:53.020 And the reason why Trump is so mad is because he launched this attack right after they had done a hostage deal.

01:26:03.580 They did a hostage swap, and Trump was talking with Putin.

01:26:06.020 They had a two-hour-long phone call, and he still did this mission.

01:26:09.120 He did this operation.

01:26:10.040 So obviously Trump is pissed off.

01:26:12.100 Putin, I've known him a long time, always gotten along with him,

01:26:15.740 but he's sending rockets into cities and killing people, and I don't like it at all.

01:26:21.000 A few hours later, the president posted that Putin has gone absolutely crazy, exclamation point.

01:26:29.040 The Kremlin responded with, this is a very crucial moment, which is associated with, of course,

01:26:34.560 the emotional overload and with emotional reactions.

01:26:37.980 Bruh, this nigga saying Trump is emotional? Come on, man.

01:26:40.540 Just last Monday, President Trump and Putin of Russia held a two-hour phone call on a potential ceasefire.

01:26:47.060 Here's White House Ukraine envoy, retired lieutenant general.

01:26:50.220 And that's why he's so mad.

01:26:51.640 Two-hour phone call, hostage deal, and then he still launches this attack.

01:26:55.520 But you guys know now, now you guys know, they launched the attack because they wanted

01:26:58.760 to draw forces away from the South, a.k.a. a very strategic, critical point for them,

01:27:05.680 the Crimea Peninsula and that southeastern region.

01:27:08.820 General, Keith Kellogg.

01:27:10.200 He's done more in 120 days than the previous administration did in 1,200 days.

01:27:16.960 I give him credit for that, that Trump actually, at least he had a phone call with Putin.

01:27:20.280 Guys, Biden didn't talk to Putin for years.

01:27:22.540 ... days.

01:27:23.160 I think he just needs to keep at it.

01:27:24.580 It's frustrating, I know that.

01:27:26.500 But the only guy that can do this is President Trump.

01:27:29.040 You know, negotiations are never easy, but there's nowhere this war is going to end through

01:27:33.840 violence, through killing of soldiers on either side.

01:27:36.600 Right.

01:27:37.200 It's going to come down to negotiation.

01:27:40.080 President Trump also signaled he's absolutely considering new sanctions against Russia.

01:27:45.800 The New York Post editorial board headline, new sanctions can shock crazy Putin to his senses.

01:27:51.560 In focus now, Republican Congressman Brian Mast of the great state of Florida,

01:27:55.100 chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

01:27:57.340 Great to see you always.

01:27:58.940 Thank you for your service as well.

01:28:00.800 Look, Congressman, we are at a point now where...

01:28:03.600 This fucking guy is really fucking chill right here.

01:28:07.480 President Trump seems to be running out of patience with Putin, and that means money

01:28:12.940 taken away from the Russian people.

01:28:15.420 Will that work?

01:28:17.740 No, because the sanctions clearly have not worked.

01:28:20.500 We've been sanctioning the fuck out of them for years, and nothing's happened.

01:28:24.620 Their economy has gotten better.

01:28:26.780 Sanctions don't work a lot of the times, man.

01:28:28.660 They just do business with other people.

01:28:30.240 We kicked them off of Swift, didn't do shit.

01:28:32.100 I think it's a big part of it.

01:28:33.880 You know, I think Putin is negotiating this, not even negotiating, looking for his terms

01:28:37.700 at the table.

01:28:38.740 And he reads this as, if he can continue to take life, and if he can continue to take

01:28:44.120 land in kilometers away from Ukraine, then that puts him in a stronger position to get

01:28:48.720 all of the terms that he wants.

01:28:50.580 And I don't think that he looks at anything other than that, doesn't see the value of life.

01:28:53.940 And so I think President Trump justly characterizes him as crazy.

01:28:58.020 If you have no value in human life, then you are a crazy person.

01:29:00.780 Does he see the loss of resources in terms of 10% or greater of his economy just going

01:29:07.160 to military spending, the extreme high inflation going on in Russia right now, the inability

01:29:11.820 to provide for their people, and the sanctions going on, not just against Russia?

01:29:15.760 Bruh, have you seen Moscow?

01:29:17.720 They're thriving, bro.

01:29:19.080 This is Western propaganda right here.

01:29:22.360 Western propaganda.

01:29:23.640 But against those that are going to buy from Russia?

01:29:25.180 Yeah, that's going to continue to cripple their economy.

01:29:27.800 But at a certain point, he has to either take value for human life, or everybody's going

01:29:33.340 to recognize that he is the war criminal that we have been saying that he is.

01:29:37.460 And I would just make one other point on this.

01:29:40.080 Even if Putin is in a strong position because he can continue to take life and take land,

01:29:45.420 he's getting himself into a position.

01:29:47.260 I think that the world never takes him or Russia back.

01:29:49.640 So that's interesting.

01:29:51.820 And clearly, he's all in.

01:29:53.500 Doesn't matter.

01:29:54.020 Bro, why are they trying to negotiate what I'm done?

01:29:56.560 This Brian Mass guy is a retard, I'll be honest with y'all.

01:29:58.800 This guy is a hardcore Zionist shill.

01:30:02.300 Stupid as fuck.

01:30:03.420 Wore an IDF fucking uniform to a government building, a U.S. government building.

01:30:12.220 This guy is fucking pathetic.

01:30:13.260 No matter what it costs in terms of hurting his own people, he doesn't care.

01:30:18.760 And we've always known that about him.

01:30:20.140 That's not breaking news about Putin.

01:30:21.840 But at this point in history, he thinks that he can win.

01:30:24.860 Can he?

01:30:26.520 I think he can continue.

01:30:27.840 Just what I said, I think he can continue to take land and life.

01:30:31.020 Now, there are some positive things that are going on in this situation as well.

01:30:34.480 You have Ukraine and you have Russia in direct talks with one another right now.

01:30:38.240 You have Ukraine and Russia exchanging prisoners right now.

01:30:41.440 They've exchanged about 600 troops each side in total.

01:30:44.500 By the end of this week, probably they'll be up to 1,000.

01:30:46.660 So you have some positive things going on.

01:30:48.540 And on the Ukrainian side, you do have them with the capabilities to actually hit inside

01:30:52.680 Russia proper.

01:30:53.800 Russia has had to close down commerce in different places and different airports because Ukraine

01:30:57.840 is taking the fight to them.

01:30:59.460 But Ukraine essentially cannot stop them right now.

01:31:02.220 I'd use the words of Marco Rubio last week when he testified to me.

01:31:05.280 He said, listen, Russia wants something that doesn't belong to them.

01:31:08.660 And Ukraine cannot take back what's stolen from them right now.

01:31:11.540 That's the difficult position that we're in.

01:31:13.520 Wow.

01:31:13.800 Just real quickly, yes or no, are we going to help them with the air support that Ukraine

01:31:17.540 is begging for right now?

01:31:19.660 I think we're going to continue to allow European countries to give to Ukraine what they're asking

01:31:25.880 for.

01:31:26.220 They have to ask permission from the United States of America if they got those weapons from

01:31:30.380 us, if we sold them to them.

01:31:31.580 We will continue to allow that to take place.

01:31:33.620 All right, we'll move to this.

01:31:34.800 President Trump is now giving the United States Senate the go-ahead to make changes to the

01:31:39.080 big, beautiful bill that passed the House last week.

01:31:41.340 Watch.

01:31:46.700 Do you have a message for the Senate?

01:31:49.240 A lot of Republicans have said there are going to be significant changes to the budget bill.

01:31:53.680 Well, I want the Senate and the senators to change, you know, to make the changes they

01:31:58.520 want.

01:31:58.860 And we'll go back to the House and we'll see if we can get them.

01:32:01.200 In some cases, those changes maybe are something I'd agree with, to be honest.

01:32:05.580 You know, it happens.

01:32:07.480 Some Senate Republicans have warned the bill will be dead on arrival without some significant

01:32:12.480 changes.

01:32:13.260 And Senators Ron Johnson ran Paul.

01:32:15.100 Think CD says, if NATO was a problem, why did they invade Ukraine but not Estonia?

01:32:18.600 Estonia is closer to Moscow.

01:32:19.580 Why invade Georgia in 08 when there's a mountain on the border, but let Finland right next to

01:32:22.700 St. Petersburg?

01:32:23.820 Because a lot of these countries were neutral, my friend.

01:32:26.260 Like, for example, Finland didn't join NATO until after Russia invaded in 22, for example.

01:32:35.020 Mike Lee, Josh Hawley want changes.

01:32:36.880 Or even if they were in NATO, they were extremely neutral, right?

01:32:40.660 Not as adversarial.

01:32:43.340 But Ukraine is the red line because the border shares with it is huge.

01:32:47.180 It's not just a proximity to Moscow.

01:32:49.000 It's also proximity to the country itself and the land border size.

01:32:54.720 So Moscow is just one component to, you know, protecting national security for Russia.

01:33:00.980 Such as larger spending cuts and Medicaid reforms.

01:33:04.700 Here's House Speaker Mike Johnson.

01:33:07.700 I encourage them, you know, to do their work, of course, as we all anticipate.

01:33:12.540 Mr. Titi says, Putin had a joint assassination attempt sent from Ukraine.

01:33:15.580 Can you really blame him?

01:33:16.820 Also breaking President Trump pardons rapper NBA Youngboy.

01:33:19.860 Wow, that's fucking hilarious.

01:33:21.260 Why?

01:33:22.440 Nick is a criminal, bro.

01:33:25.600 Chris says, I just got fired from my job for no reason.

01:33:27.780 I'm from the UK and every workplace I go to just feels like I'm in a foreign country.

01:33:38.280 Employers would rather employ foreigners than its own British people because they know they

01:33:41.840 can get away with mistreatment.

01:33:44.360 That's crazy, bro.

01:33:45.120 I'm sorry to hear that.

01:33:46.620 I hope you're not talking about political stuff at work, man.

01:33:48.860 That might be another reason why you're getting in trouble.

01:33:51.500 Got to be careful with that stuff, man.

01:33:53.560 Few modifications to this package as possible.

01:33:56.460 Because remembering that we've got to pass it one more time to ratify their changes in

01:34:00.860 the House, and I have a very delicate balance here, a very delicate equilibrium that we've

01:34:05.100 reached over a long period of time, and it's best not to meddle with it too much.

01:34:10.180 What do you forecast here, Congressman?

01:34:12.580 I think the point that Speaker Johnson is making is that it should be easier for the Senate

01:34:16.600 to get 51 votes than it is for the House to get 218 votes.

01:34:20.140 We just have a different amount of personalities that you have to deal with.

01:34:23.400 Again, to look at what the President said, we hope that the Senate looks at it very seriously,

01:34:27.420 makes positive changes that can benefit the United States of America, like what we put

01:34:31.700 in there, right?

01:34:32.340 Lowering taxes on Social Security and tips and on overtime and making sure that we raise

01:34:38.260 the child tax credit and the standard deduction and the amount that small businesses are taxed

01:34:45.080 from 20% to 23%.

01:34:46.340 All very positive changes.

01:34:48.080 Yeah, I don't know why I pardoned NBA Youngboy.

01:34:49.580 NBA Youngboy is a fucking scumbag, bro.

01:34:52.520 Like, what's up with pardoning these fucking criminals, bro?

01:34:54.840 Larry Hoover's a crook.

01:34:57.320 Like, I don't get it, dude.

01:34:58.680 Like, let's make sure we keep work requirements for people on Medicaid.

01:35:05.080 You're talking to somebody missing two legs and a finger, and I can tell you, people need

01:35:08.320 that work.

01:35:08.760 You got to go out there.

01:35:09.400 Just because we're not 100% doesn't mean that we don't go out there and have that purpose

01:35:13.320 of work.

01:35:14.240 Amen.

01:35:15.060 And always thank you for your service and your sacrifice.

01:35:18.360 Congressman Mauss, before I let you go, in terms of those things that you-

01:35:22.200 Bro, shut up to Congress wearing an IDF uniform, bro.

01:35:24.720 Big L.

01:35:25.420 Boom, booka!

01:35:26.260 You just mentioned, that's what the president promised he would do.

01:35:31.460 You all, as you just said, passed it in the House, and they only need 51.

01:35:36.640 I say only, it's still a big haul, but still, can the Senate get it done?

01:35:42.140 And what would you say to those senators who have a laundry list right now?

01:35:46.400 I would say you can get it done.

01:35:47.960 Remember, this is about the American people.

01:35:50.120 You don't always need the whole loaf of bread.

01:35:51.980 Yo, guys, do me a favor.

01:35:53.620 Smash that like button, guys.

01:35:54.600 Let's get to 1,000, 1,500 likes, 2,000 likes, somewhere around there.

01:35:58.820 Shorter show today, guys.

01:36:01.260 We're going to do an interview with Noble Gold here in a second, and then we are going

01:36:04.620 to do some after hours for you guys, and we're going to do a subathon.

01:36:07.920 It's going to be a good time.

01:36:08.900 We're just going to keep the stream running after after hours.

01:36:10.980 Right at once, right?

01:36:11.780 Sometimes you can take it slice by slice.

01:36:13.460 We've got a lot of great slices of this loaf.

01:36:16.140 Let's move it forward and make it so that we don't even have to send it back to the House.

01:36:19.420 Let's get it to the president's desk before Independence Day, before Fourth of July, and

01:36:23.260 show the American people what we can get done for them.

01:36:25.160 Well, look, Senator Marsha Blackburn of the great state of Tennessee has a no tax on security.

01:36:31.140 You know, and she's saying that would be a tax on top of tax.

01:36:34.120 That's something that you might see in one of those maybe carve-out type situations.

01:36:37.980 We'll see how it pans out.

01:36:39.420 Congressman, thank you.

01:36:41.340 Thank you, Harris.

01:36:42.260 Hey, it's Will Kane.

01:36:43.600 Click here.

01:36:44.380 All right, let's go ahead and click the Putin assassination attempt as well,

01:36:48.400 because we didn't get to talk about this.

01:36:50.760 I think this is another reason, too, why Putin is pissed off.

01:37:01.320 Vladimir Putin's...

01:37:07.980 War is real, man.

01:37:15.380 A shocking claim has come to the fore, suggesting that Russian President Vladimir Putin's helicopter

01:37:22.340 came under attack by Ukrainian drones.

01:37:26.360 This is...

01:37:27.380 ...as Putin traveled to Russia's border region of Kursk on May 20th

01:37:31.360 in an unannounced visit confirmed by the Kremlin.

01:37:34.360 A top Russian military commander has claimed Ukrainian drones targeted Putin's aircraft

01:37:40.520 mid-flight, as per reports.

01:37:43.320 Yuri Dashkin, head of a Russian air defense unit,

01:37:46.500 reportedly said that Putin's helicopter was at the attack's epicenter,

01:37:50.940 as a large-scale drone assault began as the Russian president flew over Kursk.

01:37:56.740 Russian air defenses reportedly engaged the drones,

01:38:00.260 while the presidential helicopter was still airborne.

01:38:03.060 Notably, it was Putin's first trip to Kursk

01:38:06.940 since Moscow claimed to have pushed back Ukrainian troops last month.

01:38:11.720 During his visit, he met with volunteers, regional officials,

01:38:16.020 and acting governor Alexander Kinchstein.

01:38:19.380 His stop in Kursk came weeks after Russia declared the region

01:38:22.920 was liberated from Ukrainian incursions.

01:38:26.140 But Ukraine insisted that its operations continue,

01:38:29.800 despite Russian claims of full control in the border zone.

01:38:33.060 On May 21st, Ukraine's army said its units remain active near Kursk

01:38:38.640 and continue to inflict damage.

01:38:41.440 Earlier this month, Ukrainian troops were said to have breached the Russian border

01:38:45.440 near the village of Tetkino.

01:38:48.060 Meanwhile, U.S. President Trump has warned Putin

01:38:50.880 that trying to take all of Ukraine will lead to Russia's downfall.

01:38:54.280 I'm not happy with what Putin's doing.

01:38:57.160 He's killing a lot of people, and I don't know what the hell happened to Putin.

01:39:00.480 I've known him a long time, always gotten along with him,

01:39:04.040 but he's sending rockets into cities and killing people,

01:39:07.340 and I don't like it at all, okay?

01:39:10.280 We're in the middle of talking, and he's shooting rockets into Kiev and other cities.

01:39:14.480 I don't like it at all.

01:39:15.800 What do you want to do about that?

01:39:18.140 I'm not surprised.

01:39:19.200 I'm very surprised.

01:39:20.000 We'll see what we're going to do.

01:39:21.400 What am I going to tell you?

01:39:22.880 You're the fake news, aren't you?

01:39:24.260 Bruh, this nigga, man.

01:39:25.700 Yo, that is...

01:39:27.340 You're the fake news.

01:39:29.260 Bro.

01:39:29.520 The fact that he's so unprofessional is fucking hilarious, man.

01:39:35.300 I love it, bro.

01:39:36.180 I love it, man.

01:39:38.200 Oh, man.

01:39:42.540 You're totally fake.

01:39:44.060 All right, any other questions?

01:39:45.500 I don't like what Putin is doing, not even a little bit.

01:39:48.260 He's killing people, and something happened to this guy, and I don't like it.

01:39:52.820 Can I follow up on that?

01:39:55.420 A Russian commander reportedly said that Putin was almost caught in the middle of a drone

01:40:00.980 attack from Ukraine.

01:40:02.800 So do you have any...

01:40:03.680 I haven't heard that, but maybe that would be a reason.

01:40:08.220 I don't know, but I have not heard that.

01:40:15.840 All right.

01:40:17.340 So, okay, guys.

01:40:20.300 So, yo, Bill, Mo, Bill's here yet?

01:40:23.900 So, I know all you guys remember, Donald Trump had Zelensky in the White House.

01:40:29.300 Had to be a few months ago now.

01:40:30.960 And, uh...

01:40:31.660 All right, we'll go ahead and let this liberal talk about this.

01:40:33.480 The clip went mega viral, because he basically berated the guy, right?

01:40:36.460 He basically berated him in front of the world.

01:40:38.940 Quite a message to send when Zelensky is the head of a country that got offensively and

01:40:43.100 illegally invaded by Russia.

01:40:45.280 Of course, Putin was ecstatic about that fact.

01:40:48.020 But at the same time, remember, Trump was trying to make a deal with Ukraine.

01:40:55.000 And the deal, effectively, is like, hey, you got to give us half of your shit from now

01:41:00.300 until forever if you want us to keep supporting you.

01:41:03.040 Basically, like the minerals and the ports and their natural resources.

01:41:06.420 It really is economic colonization of Ukraine being done by the U.S.

01:41:10.860 And, of course, Zelensky, he's in a no-win situation, because if you don't get the help,

01:41:15.560 Vladimir Putin could just take your whole country and you have nothing.

01:41:18.120 Or, you make a deal with the devil with Trump in the U.S., and you're submitting to economic

01:41:22.300 colonization where the U.S. steals, like, 50% of your shit from now until forever, right?

01:41:26.660 So, really put him in an unwinnable situation.

01:41:29.180 Yeah, this guy's a wokey.

01:41:30.280 This is Kyle Kolinsky, guys.

01:41:32.640 For example, he thinks the judge in Minneapolis that, um, you know, that went ahead and covered

01:41:38.420 for that illegal alien, like, he thinks that she's innocent.

01:41:40.440 Like, that goes to show you guys, like, um, how these wokeys are.

01:41:43.800 He's a friend of, um, of your boy, Hassan Piker.

01:41:46.960 But, anyway, guys, I'm going to end the stream here.

01:41:48.880 Uh, we are going to go ahead and go into Fresh and Fit.

01:41:51.460 Going to have a talk with Noble Gold.

01:41:52.900 It's going to be a short interview.

01:41:53.780 Going to talk about, um, you know, money, how gold is affecting with all the warfare going

01:41:57.500 on, et cetera.

01:41:58.320 So, uh, jump on in, guys.

01:41:59.540 We're going to raid it over there right now on Fresh and Fit.

01:42:01.200 Come on over.

01:42:02.120 Uh, going live in a few minutes.

01:42:04.660 Okay, guys, so come on over.

01:42:05.540 I'm going to raid, um, Fresh and Fit on YouTube.

01:42:08.860 And, uh, love you, ninjas.

01:42:11.560 We'll be back with the sub-a-thon later tonight as well with some girls.

01:42:14.840 So, it's going to be a good time.

01:42:16.280 You guys know what time it is.

01:42:17.580 Every single time, every single crime.
