Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Russia Firing On Nuclear Power Plant On LIVE VIDEO w-Posobiec & Daniel Turner

00:00:00.000 Right now, there is a live stream on YouTube showing war at one of the largest nuclear

00:00:14.000 power plants, I believe in the world.

00:00:15.000 Is it in the world, Jack?

00:00:17.000 Certainly one of the largest in Europe, as far as we can tell.

00:00:19.000 They may have larger ones in Asia, but this is the largest one in Europe.

00:00:22.000 You can actually watch on live video on YouTube.

00:00:26.000 At first, we had this breaking news report, and it said they're shelling or firing on a nuclear power plant.

00:00:33.000 And so I titled this stream like reportedly doing this and then Jack was like, I've got the live stream and then we started watching the live stream and you can see fire, you can see what looks like emergency vehicles, you can see military equipment, you can see some kind of firing upon this nuclear power plant.

00:00:49.000 So not, uh, not confidence building to say the least, but certainly one of the most shocking developments we've seen so far.

00:00:54.000 And we've got a lot of other updates too.

00:00:56.000 Russian, uh, warplanes entered, and be very careful how I describe this, violated Swedish airspace and Japanese airspace.

00:01:03.000 People need to realize that Russia is like 50 miles from Sweden and 50 miles from Japan and 50 miles from the United States.

00:01:10.000 So they certainly are very close to all of these countries and, uh, There seems to be a real possibility of dramatic escalation here, so we'll definitely get into all of that.

00:01:20.000 And we also have some of the craziest news.

00:01:23.000 Russia today, RT, completely shut down.

00:01:26.000 I mean, this is crazy.

00:01:28.000 How many people work at this company?

00:01:29.000 Dozens?

00:01:30.000 A hundred or more?

00:01:31.000 All lost their jobs.

00:01:33.000 RT just said an interruption in business.

00:01:35.000 Here's where it gets crazy.

00:01:37.000 Social media has labeled Americans, like Twitter has labeled like Russian state media, and Lee Camp, who is an anti-war, I think it's fair to say he's left, right?

00:01:47.000 Leftist?

00:01:48.000 I guess.

00:01:48.000 He seems pretty centrist to me.

00:01:50.000 He's double-headed, but he's definitely anti-war.

00:01:52.000 He's an anti-war, anti-establishment guy.

00:01:54.000 Spotify took his podcast off the air.

00:01:57.000 The crazy thing is, I don't think his podcast is affiliated with Russia.

00:02:01.000 It's like a YouTube channel that he made.

00:02:02.000 Was Neil Young demanding you take it down?

00:02:05.000 Must have been.

00:02:06.000 But he did have a show on Russia Today called Redacted Tonight, so I don't know if he's still doing that, but this is crazy.

00:02:12.000 Like, war hysteria.

00:02:14.000 We are seeing this in real time.

00:02:17.000 They're banning Russians from sporting events, from video games.

00:02:20.000 Like, FIFA's like, we're not gonna have Russians in our video game. 1.00

00:02:23.000 Did you hear they banned Russian cats?

00:02:25.000 Russian cats from the cat show.

00:02:27.000 What? 1.00

00:02:27.000 White people have lost their minds! 1.00

00:02:29.000 There's a report. 1.00

00:02:31.000 We'll just work real quick.

00:02:32.000 We'll just go through.

00:02:33.000 We have a sponsor tonight, but I want to we'll go through introduction and start to cut you off.

00:02:35.000 But we got Jack Posobiec hanging out.

00:02:37.000 Hey, welcome me back.

00:05:19.000 Let's just jump in to this first story.

00:05:22.000 We have the report here from ABC News.

00:05:24.000 Plant spokesman says Russian troops have begun shelling Europe's largest nuclear power station in Ukraine.

00:05:30.000 Plant spokesman says Russian troops have begun shelling it.

00:05:32.000 That's basically the news.

00:05:34.000 That's it.

00:05:35.000 But we're not stopping there.

00:05:37.000 We actually have this live stream.

00:05:40.000 I can't read Cyrillic, so I don't know who's the person who has the live stream up.

00:05:43.000 It's not us.

00:05:44.000 But someone has been able to get a live stream of the plant.

00:05:47.000 You can see there's some smoke coming out of it.

00:05:49.000 The camera has moved periodically.

00:05:51.000 But let me just do this.

00:05:52.000 Let me jump to this story.

00:05:53.000 Well, it seems to be the name of the plant itself.

00:05:56.000 So I think it might be like an official channel.

00:05:57.000 Oh, okay.

00:05:57.000 It's the actual... Right.

00:05:58.000 Oh, so you're right.

00:05:59.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:05:59.000 What is it?

00:06:00.000 Zaporizitska.

00:06:01.000 Zaporizitska?

00:06:01.000 Yeah.

00:06:02.000 All right.

00:06:02.000 Well, there you go.

00:06:03.000 So we actually have some photos that appears to show steel grabs and video clips showing the actual shelling.

00:06:09.000 You can see this happening right now.

00:06:12.000 I would love to have had someone who knows the finer mechanics of a nuclear power plant to tell us what this could mean, what could happen, because apparently they've already hit.

00:06:23.000 So like, have they hit all of the of the power of the power station?

00:06:26.000 Well, there's lots like at any nuclear facility that you're going to be involved in.

00:06:31.000 And you know, someone who's, you know, as I say, as a military officer, I've got I've done, you know, some basic battle damage assessment training.

00:06:37.000 So just like any military facility or large scale new power plant, You know, there's going to be lots of outlier buildings, administrative buildings, office buildings.

00:06:47.000 There's way more buildings around this thing than the actual nuclear reactors that have the rods in them that have the ability to melt down or anything like that.

00:06:55.000 Now, that being said, it's not a good idea to have a firefight at a nuclear plant to be firing artillery and throwing grenades and all the rest of that for various, very obvious reasons.

00:07:07.000 So this is, is this, uh, what is this?

00:07:10.000 We have this, this image here.

00:07:12.000 Zaporitska, is that what it is?

00:07:14.000 Am I saying that wrong?

00:07:15.000 Well, it looks like, yeah, it looks like in the English they're saying Zaporizhitsa, but in the Cyrillic there was a K. So that was throwing me off.

00:07:23.000 But there's like a, it's, it's like Zaporizhitsa.

00:07:26.000 Zaporizhitsa.

00:07:27.000 But, uh, this is just north of, uh, Malitopol.

00:07:30.000 And that's what, just north of Crimea near the Sea of Azov.

00:07:35.000 So it's so it's on the Dnieper River.

00:07:37.000 So every every nuclear plant needs a water source, right?

00:07:39.000 It's your basic nuclear power value proposition.

00:07:43.000 So same reason, by the way, why most why a lot of US Navy ships, as all US carriers, and all US submarines are nuclear powered, because obviously, they have a Yeah, you know, access to water, plentiful access to water.

00:07:58.000 I was gonna say, though, Russia has attempted, and it's, you know, kind of on again off again to make a nuclear powered cruiser.

00:08:06.000 So actually, with the capability of essentially being able to fire fire cruise missiles, yeah, as this massive nuclear powered platform, which even the US doesn't do.

00:08:16.000 So what are we doing here?

00:08:18.000 Is this just a shocking moment?

00:08:20.000 It's a flash in the pan and maybe nothing bad will happen?

00:08:23.000 Well, it seems, again, this is part of Russia's strategy, right? 0.84

00:08:27.000 They are trying to take over all the strategic key points of Ukraine.

00:08:31.000 And what they're trying to do really is cut the entire country of Ukraine in half using that Dnieper River. 0.90

00:08:37.000 Did you see that map from Lukashenko Belarus showing the attack into Moldova though?

00:08:39.000 towards Kiev, they're coming up from the south through starting obviously in

00:08:43.000 Crimea which they had already annexed in 2014, coming up north they already took

00:08:47.000 the city of Kursan so the next logical move for any military procession in this

00:08:51.000 was that you would you would continue up the river. Did you see that map from

00:08:54.000 Lukashenko Belarus showing the attack into Moldova though?

00:08:58.000 Right. Yeah what do you think about that? I mean that could be a lot of things.

00:09:02.000 Now, we already know that Russia does have some troops in that separatist region of Transnistria.

00:09:07.000 So it could have been a reference to that.

00:09:08.000 I mean, the quality of the map was hard to kind of really make out if there was any writing on it or anything like that.

00:09:14.000 And obviously, I, you know, everybody knows that, you know, I live with a, I have a live-in translator when it comes to this part of the world, my wife being Belarusian.

00:09:23.000 And so I asked her if she could see anything on there and she said I couldn't really see anything.

00:09:27.000 But I remember the night that this all started, we were down in CPAC and we were standing at this place that had crappy hotel Wi-Fi.

00:09:35.000 Nice hotel, but crappy Wi-Fi down in Orlando.

00:09:37.000 And Putin's up giving his speech and she's translating it in real time and then I'm tweeting it out and then Zelensky's coming up giving his response and people are all like, you know, how's Posovic getting this stuff so fast?

00:09:47.000 I'm like, I have a translator sitting next to me.

00:09:50.000 That's always the most difficult things.

00:09:52.000 I've seen a lot of videos of Putin's statements, and I don't know that someone's translated it properly.

00:09:56.000 You know, do you trust a random person on the internet just posting quotes?

00:10:00.000 You know what I mean?

00:10:01.000 There was a funny moment of that.

00:10:02.000 I remember in 2000... Welcome to Vagabor. 1.00

00:10:04.000 That's right.

00:10:04.000 Funny moment of that in 2007 with Condi Rice when she was meeting with Medvedev.

00:10:09.000 Remember, and she kicked the translator out of the room, because she speaks Russian, and she said, you're not... She accused the Russian translator of purposely... The American translator of either not purposely, but she accused the American translator of botching the translation to a point that it was distracting her, and so she asked the translator to leave.

00:10:27.000 How many times has that happened?

00:10:28.000 That's pretty badass, Condi.

00:10:30.000 That's an example.

00:10:31.000 How many times do you think this is happening today, like over and over and over again?

00:10:35.000 Already there.

00:10:35.000 We were talking about mistranslations in like Islam and that the word power and force also mean God and in Arabic and like come on talk about it.

00:10:44.000 And you listen to the MSNBC translation of the State of the Union.

00:10:47.000 Yeah, I was gonna say they don't even translate Biden properly.

00:10:50.000 Just an update on as what we're seeing and the stream is freezing now.

00:10:53.000 So I mean we might be losing, you know, our ability to see what's going on at this power plant, but I don't, I don't.

00:11:00.000 Ukraine's energy ministry and again, fog of war, grain of salt, all the normal, you know,

00:11:04.000 couching statements and corollaries that we have to say.

00:11:07.000 But Ukraine's energy ministry is now claiming that firefighters have been fired at by Russian

00:11:12.000 troops while trying to put out the fire.

00:11:15.000 I don't because they're going directly into an active combat.

00:11:18.000 It's possible.

00:11:20.000 It's entirely possible.

00:11:22.000 Yeah, if you're a firefighter and there's conflict, they don't know who you are, they might fire upon you.

00:11:26.000 But I just, I'm really not a fan of these comic book villainy claims that come out from the West and, to be honest, even from, you know, Russia.

00:11:35.000 Oh, we don't want Ukraine to get nukes or whatever, or we're trying to denazify Putin saying, you know, we're gonna have an Antifa thing or whatever. 0.89

00:11:41.000 That's ridiculous.

00:11:42.000 But the idea You know, we're hearing the absolute comic book villainy of both sides from both sides. 0.98

00:11:48.000 The propaganda is the Russians are evil, and they got these videos of POWs, Russian POWs, crying and saying, like, I didn't know they were going to make me kill women and children or whatever, and I'm like, dude...

00:12:00.000 Don't parade around POWs to me, because I don't trust them when they say that, right? 0.99

00:12:07.000 You've captured them.

00:12:08.000 Their lives are at risk.

00:12:09.000 The Ukrainian Special Forces Command said, we're not going to take prisoners anymore.

00:12:15.000 And a lot of people were like, well, that's an admission of a war crime.

00:12:17.000 They were like, no more capture.

00:12:19.000 If we do, we're going to slaughter.

00:12:20.000 I think, what did they say? 0.98

00:12:20.000 Slaughter like pigs or something? 0.98

00:12:22.000 Yeah, but that actually, I did see some people pushing back on that. 0.98

00:12:25.000 And as we were just saying, that may have been kind of a translation thing, where the connotation may have been more like, we're going to kill you in battle, so you won't be alive for us to take prisoner.

00:12:39.000 Right? 0.59

00:12:39.000 As opposed to, we're not going to allow you to surrender. 0.59

00:12:42.000 No, they tweeted in English something and then deleted it.

00:12:46.000 Yeah, there was like a tweet.

00:12:47.000 No, that was, so I think that was either Kiev Independent or Kiev Post that was covering what was said, but they may have been going off of the mistranslation.

00:12:56.000 Right, right.

00:12:56.000 But again, I mean, so here's what I keep saying throughout all of this, right?

00:12:59.000 And the one thing I've instituted with all my team is saying, we're on a 24 hour, you know, rule with all this stuff.

00:13:07.000 Because how many stories have come out since the beginning of this conflict, almost, I

00:13:13.000 think one week, I think we're at the one week mark today, right?

00:13:16.000 That within 24 hours have been completely debunked, right?

00:13:19.000 This shelling or this pilot, or Snake Island, right?

00:13:23.000 It sounds like a Hollywood script, right?

00:13:24.000 It sounds like you're, yeah, you're like, like a movie script and you're and at first

00:13:28.000 you're, oh my gosh, this is, this is, I can't believe it.

00:13:32.000 And then it turns out, but you actually can't believe it.

00:13:34.000 So keep in mind that you're seeing these situations and it's meant to emotionally affect you and emotionally hook you.

00:13:43.000 And the Western media, by the way, has been leaps and bounds beyond anything Russia has put out in terms of their information operations here.

00:13:51.000 Kind of one little corollary I threw out there was, you know, this sort of debunks all of Russiagate, right?

00:13:56.000 Because it wasn't wasn't the predicate for Russiagate, the idea that the Russians were these masters at information warfare, they dominated the global information environment.

00:14:05.000 And then it turns out that, okay, well, here's Russia in an actual shooting war, which they would really need to have their best info ops up.

00:14:12.000 And they're, you know, screaming about genocide and Nazis.

00:14:16.000 And sure, yeah, you know, we can talk about the Azov battalion, and we can be very truthful about what's going on.

00:14:20.000 But at the same... And yes, there is shelling in Donbass.

00:14:23.000 Yeah, 100%.

00:14:24.000 But it's not the exact same thing that they're alleging.

00:14:26.000 They got the Instagram hot babes of Russia coming out against Vladimir Putin, against their own government.

00:14:34.000 He's done.

00:14:34.000 Yeah, it's time to end it.

00:14:36.000 Call it off.

00:14:37.000 I thought banging the cats was going to do it. 0.82

00:14:39.000 These Instagram models are like the daughters of government officials.

00:14:43.000 See, the thing is, This is the power of influence war. The US controls

00:14:47.000 Instagram. These young women make money off Instagram and feel social acceptance from likes.

00:14:54.000 When that's threatened to be taken away from them, they immediately come out and say, no, no,

00:14:58.000 no, I support the other country.

00:15:00.000 That is scary.

00:15:02.000 Like our corporations do every time.

00:15:04.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:15:05.000 Absolutely.

00:15:05.000 It's terrifying when TikTok, controlled by China, is operating here for the exact same reason.

00:15:11.000 And what will happen if China moves into Taiwan?

00:15:13.000 TikTok is going to light up, and all of these American TikTokers are going to be like, but Taiwan is China, and China has a right, and blah, blah, blah.

00:15:22.000 Taiwan is the Republic of China.

00:15:23.000 Technically, it is China, and the CCP is an invading force.

00:15:26.000 I didn't know you had a TikTok.

00:15:28.000 No, I don't actually.

00:15:30.000 We got banned from TikTok.

00:15:31.000 Maybe I do have a TikTok.

00:15:32.000 I don't remember.

00:15:32.000 I don't think I do.

00:15:33.000 But that's the Republic of China.

00:15:34.000 That's the real government of China.

00:15:36.000 The Republic that was basically pushed onto the island by the CCP.

00:15:39.000 Restore the Republic.

00:15:40.000 I love the thing that the West, that America has exported to the world as the awful hyperbolic language. 0.92

00:15:46.000 Like when Sergei Lavrov The Russian foreign minister is talking about the denazification of Ukraine and they are Nazis.

00:15:52.000 I'm like, you sound like a 17 year old kid in like a high school debate team. 0.97

00:15:56.000 Like, are we all talking on this awful hyperbolic, I'm gonna get rid of the Nazis from Ukraine. 0.94

00:16:03.000 It's just, it's awful how someone who's been a statesman for 60 years sounds like a TikTok kid right now. 0.91

00:16:09.000 Like a boomer.

00:16:10.000 Yeah, it's just unbelievable.

00:16:12.000 Well, he's got to hold on to that, though, because that's now the official line.

00:16:15.000 Yeah, no, he has to.

00:16:16.000 It's just embarrassing.

00:16:17.000 Because I think we need to remember, too, that, you know, any of these statements now that that Lavrov is making, and you're right that he's he's been known as someone who's actually pretty highly respected in the international community, even though, you know, obviously they disagree with him on a lot, that all of a sudden he's throwing that away to, you know, throw off these these little like, you know, pot shot like W.D.

00:16:36.000 kind of lines.

00:16:36.000 W.W.E.

00:16:37.000 And the reason is, though, that's all being played internally.

00:16:41.000 Yeah.

00:16:41.000 Right.

00:16:42.000 And so they're going to show that to the Russian people and they're going to and it's it's going to play into this new

00:16:46.000 narrative.

00:16:47.000 And it's the same narrative that, of course, Biden and all of these companies that are coming out now and banning

00:16:53.000 Russians.

00:16:54.000 You've got I think I was gonna say earlier that Canada has said this Canadian minister of transportation has said they're

00:17:01.000 holding a charter plane in Canada full of Russian nationals and they're not going to let it go.

00:17:08.000 So the internal narrative in Russia right now is that it's the world versus you.

00:17:12.000 And guess what?

00:17:12.000 The world is playing right into that.

00:17:15.000 Well, I gotta say they crossed the line here.

00:17:16.000 Check out this story from NBC News.

00:17:18.000 International Cat Federation bans Russian felines from competitions.

00:17:23.000 We surrender.

00:17:24.000 It is time to give up.

00:17:26.000 Federation International Feline, which hosts over 700 cat shows a year, said it cannot just witness these atrocities and do nothing.

00:17:35.000 Look at these cats! 0.67

00:17:38.000 Okay, I can understand the sentiment.

00:17:39.000 I can't witness these atrocities and not do anything.

00:17:42.000 But like that?

00:17:43.000 That's the thing you chose to do?

00:17:44.000 That wasn't your only option.

00:17:47.000 What if an American is a Russian cat? 0.82

00:17:50.000 Is that the issue? 1.00

00:17:51.000 Kick him into the street. 1.00

00:17:53.000 Get him out of here. 0.91

00:17:55.000 We're dog people, too.

00:17:56.000 Sorry, Oliver.

00:17:58.000 Some poor 60-year-old librarian has been waiting to show her Russian blue all year, and she's from Idaho, and now she's like, what do you mean I can't go to the cat show? 0.93

00:18:07.000 You're a communist sympathizer!

00:18:09.000 Wait, wait, wait, so it's not even that... 0.63

00:18:11.000 No cat bred in Russia.

00:18:13.000 So you could be an American.

00:18:15.000 Or imported.

00:18:17.000 Or no, it's imported or registered in any way.

00:18:19.000 But what if that cat is a citizen in another country?

00:18:21.000 Why is where they came from so important to these people?

00:18:23.000 Those cats are just seeking a better outcome, a better life for themselves.

00:18:25.000 The refugees are just seeking a better outcome, a better life for themselves.

00:18:27.000 seeking a better outcome, a better life for themselves.

00:18:31.000 They're being banned.

00:18:32.000 Have they been bugged?

00:18:33.000 Is that the problem?

00:18:36.000 Path to citizenship for those cats?

00:18:38.000 I love this timeline.

00:18:39.000 They're just dreamers.

00:18:41.000 Dream lines.

00:18:42.000 These people like to say- Hold on!

00:18:45.000 You almost got me on that one.

00:18:46.000 The group said the new regulation will last through May 31st and will be reviewed as and when necessary.

00:18:54.000 Like is any of this necessary?

00:18:56.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:18:57.000 I don't understand.

00:18:58.000 This is war hysteria.

00:19:02.000 This is the same thing as the mass formation psychosis we heard about during COVID.

00:19:07.000 This is people being like, Russia, I need to put a Ukrainian flag in my Twitter account and ban the cats!

00:19:14.000 Oh my goodness, there's another sentence here I really have to read.

00:19:19.000 On top of that, our Ukrainian fellow feline fanciers are desperately trying to take care of their cats and other animals in these trying circumstances.

00:19:27.000 There are far greater concerns there.

00:19:30.000 Far greater concerns.

00:19:32.000 And we're going to retaliate by banning Russian cats?

00:19:35.000 Wait, wait, wait!

00:19:36.000 Feline fanciers?

00:19:37.000 Stop, stop, stop!

00:19:39.000 The announcement is the latest blow to Russia, which has been hit with sanctions by a number of countries.

00:19:45.000 They're reeling.

00:19:46.000 What if you own a Russian cat?

00:19:48.000 Do you have to get rid of it?

00:19:50.000 Putin is sitting in his chair stroking his cat and he's like, that's right.

00:19:53.000 He was like, no!

00:19:54.000 Yet!

00:19:55.000 Yet!

00:19:55.000 What do you mean she cannot compete?

00:19:59.000 He looks at his shelf and he's got all of his awards from the cat show.

00:20:02.000 My akushka, my akushka.

00:20:04.000 I am a feline fancier.

00:20:06.000 There was great alliteration in that sentence.

00:20:08.000 Yeah, I got it.

00:20:09.000 My akushka.

00:20:10.000 A lot of alliteration.

00:20:11.000 Did you find out if you have a Russian cat or you now... My akushka krasi.

00:20:15.000 If it was bred in Russia.

00:20:16.000 They're gonna come take it?

00:20:18.000 Wait, bred in Russia or born in Russia?

00:20:19.000 Bred or... Both. 0.70

00:20:21.000 Bred or imported.

00:20:22.000 Because of, I don't know, the cat could have been bred there but then could have given birth in another country.

00:20:26.000 Wait, what?

00:20:27.000 Yeah.

00:20:28.000 If the cat was impregnated... Are you suggesting Anchor Kitties? 0.98

00:20:32.000 It's Anchor Kitties. 0.65

00:20:37.000 We've gone from, in 20 minutes, we've gone from the nuclear fire fight to Anchor Kitties.

00:20:41.000 The most important news comes second.

00:20:44.000 Levity, levity.

00:20:45.000 This is tough because this will be ripping families apart if it goes through.

00:20:48.000 Are you going to separate?

00:20:50.000 There's a great restaurant in D.C.

00:20:52.000 that is a Russian restaurant.

00:20:53.000 I'm almost reluctant to say the name because I don't want to give them negatives.

00:20:55.000 Well, they smash the windows.

00:20:56.000 But they smash the windows.

00:20:57.000 And a friend of mine, a friend of mine ate there last night and said, I've been coming to this restaurant for like the 20 years I've lived in D.C.

00:21:03.000 and it is a Russian restaurant.

00:21:04.000 But they're Americans.

00:21:05.000 They just have Russian heritage and they make Russian food.

00:21:08.000 And now there's like a boycott the restaurant.

00:21:10.000 And they must be like, you put me through friggin' COVID and now you're putting me through this.

00:21:14.000 Like, I just make borscht.

00:21:16.000 How am I responsible for this?

00:21:18.000 When, well, my response was when I saw FIFA had banned Russian clubs and teams or whatever from 0.99

00:21:24.000 the game, I was just like, it's the stupidest thing ever. 0.98

00:21:27.000 And I said, you know what? The Russian people are to blame to all of this. They should be 1.00

00:21:31.000 punished.

00:21:31.000 The funny thing is when I tweeted, I despise appeals to emotion.

00:21:38.000 The left went nuts.

00:21:41.000 You were trending for like two days.

00:21:44.000 I was specifically referring to the translators, more than one.

00:21:47.000 There were three different translators who cried while translating.

00:21:51.000 And that was the viral story.

00:21:53.000 Of course, I tweeted that, because I tweeted about it a bunch of different times, and I made videos about it, but that doesn't play well when they want to, like, criticize.

00:22:01.000 Like, it's the weirdest thing ever, because I've been very, like, pro-Zelensky and, like, been supportive of Ukraine the entire time, so I don't know what they're trying to smear.

00:22:07.000 But when they go nuts on this, and then I tweet, jokingly, because they're all basically like me just screwing around, when I say we must punish Russian-Americans, or my favorite tweet was, I said, whoa, how do we know that Russian-Americans aren't secretly working for Putin, or worse, Trump? 0.75

00:22:23.000 That did not make any of them angry.

00:22:26.000 Or when I said punish Russian civilians, that didn't make anybody angry.

00:22:31.000 How dare you question the sobbing translators? 0.81

00:22:36.000 Okay, well, y'all just banned cats, so you guys have lost your minds.

00:22:38.000 What gets me about removing the Russian teams from the video game sports is like, okay, I understand trying, like, World War II, we put the Japanese citizens in internment camps, hardcore. 0.93

00:22:49.000 I don't know if it was the right or wrong move, maybe they were spies, maybe they did the right thing, but like, I used to play Civilization, and Hitler's never led any of the German countries. 0.83

00:22:57.000 If you ever play Civilization and you play Germany, Hitler has never been in the game. 0.70

00:23:00.000 They've eradicated the memory of that man from the video game.

00:23:03.000 Still, 80 years later, they're still eradicating the memory.

00:23:06.000 So like, yeah, the Russian teams are gone from sports this year.

00:23:10.000 What if in 80 years, they're still like pretending Russia never existed?

00:23:14.000 It's effing terrifying.

00:23:16.000 So here's what here's what gets me on all of these, you know, and it's it's deplatforming, deplatforming, cancel it.

00:23:22.000 We're trying to use cancel culture the same way that, you know, to affect Russia. 0.95

00:23:27.000 But I don't think they kind of understand.

00:23:31.000 This was a planned operation.

00:23:32.000 This wasn't like Putin woke up one day and said, oh, we're just going to do this.

00:23:35.000 Did you see the report that apparently Xi Jinping said don't invade until after the Olympics are over?

00:23:40.000 Maybe.

00:23:42.000 I don't know.

00:23:43.000 I'm skeptical.

00:23:44.000 But at the same time, you know, I think this is something that was planned out for months in advance.

00:23:50.000 I guarantee you that Putin went around to all of like the top oligarchs, anyone who has any actual sway within Russia, and explained, this is what's going to happen next year.

00:23:59.000 So you need to set up your stuff however you want to set it up.

00:24:02.000 And Daniel, you know this.

00:24:04.000 These guys have stuff off the books in every country around the world.

00:24:08.000 It's not in their names, not in their kids' names.

00:24:10.000 Yeah, you can take their yachts because you know it's them.

00:24:12.000 But they've got mansions you don't know about.

00:24:13.000 They've got planes you don't know about.

00:24:15.000 And they're gonna use them, and they're gonna be fine.

00:24:17.000 So these sanctions aren't going to hurt anyone important in Russia.

00:24:21.000 You're gonna hurt the regular people.

00:24:22.000 You're gonna hurt the disabled athletes that want to go to the Paralympics. 1.00

00:24:26.000 You're gonna go after the oncology researchers that are trying to help people with cancer.

00:24:30.000 in Russia, right? You're going to hurt all of those regular people behind the scenes.

00:24:35.000 That's number one. And number two is you're going to turn all of them not against Putin.

00:24:39.000 They're going to be against you because you put the sanctions on.

00:24:42.000 If you had been the president when this happened last week, what would have been an adequate

00:24:45.000 response?

00:24:46.000 Well, I mean, at the same time, you have to go back and say, you know, we responded to

00:24:55.000 escalation with more escalation, right?

00:24:58.000 So it's, we've been ratcheting up things as they've been ratcheting up things.

00:25:02.000 And so from the start, you should have not been doing that.

00:25:05.000 That's always the wrong, the wrong move, obviously.

00:25:07.000 I think, uh, you know, we needed Biden to have, because we knew the invasion was coming.

00:25:12.000 Biden should have had a conversation with Putin a long time ago.

00:25:14.000 And he did.

00:25:15.000 And he should have said, if you hit Ukraine, I will hit Moscow.

00:25:19.000 I'm sorry, Joe Biden.

00:25:21.000 He should have been like, come on, man.

00:25:22.000 Another joke.

00:25:25.000 Donald Trump reportedly told Putin, if you, if you try to take Ukraine, I will hit Moscow.

00:25:29.000 He said all those beautiful golden turrets will be destroyed.

00:25:32.000 Yep.

00:25:33.000 Do you remember?

00:25:34.000 My favorite though, he told Xi the same thing.

00:25:35.000 If you go to Taiwan, I'll hit Beijing. 0.93

00:25:37.000 And the story was that both Xi and Putin were like, like kind of shocked that someone would

00:25:42.000 tell them I will kill millions of civilians if you take a, if you engage in a regional 0.84

00:25:47.000 conflict. 0.98

00:25:48.000 Remember Trump timed the original Syria strikes for when Xi Jinping was meeting at Mar-a-Lago

00:25:54.000 over dinner.

00:25:55.000 And there's, you know, there's a story that as cake was being served, they leaned in and told Xi Jinping that the strikes were taking place.

00:26:02.000 That's right.

00:26:03.000 But you remember when Putin just met with, when Biden just met with Putin a couple months ago, he came back and he said, we talked about seven things that I told him were off limits.

00:26:12.000 I mean, right then and there, I was like, well, what if I'm number eight?

00:26:16.000 You know, like, so seven things that you can't hit.

00:26:19.000 Seven American assets.

00:26:20.000 We went through seven things that he can't touch.

00:26:23.000 That was after the cyber attack that closed colonial pipeline.

00:26:26.000 So right off the bat, Putin, I mean, if anything, he watched the State of the Union.

00:26:29.000 He felt more emboldened.

00:26:31.000 I was going to say, well, I didn't hit any of those seven things, so I'm good to go.

00:26:34.000 And if you watch the Super Bowl halftime show, he's like, they don't deserve to live anymore.

00:26:38.000 We should just invade the West completely.

00:26:40.000 I think people need to recognize that Vladimir Putin is passionate and he's old, which means he's got to make whatever move he's going to make now, because he's almost 70 years old.

00:26:51.000 So I think Russia is going to win what they want to win.

00:26:56.000 We already have these crazy stories about NATO's involved.

00:26:59.000 They're 100% involved.

00:27:00.000 They're just playing weird semantic games.

00:27:03.000 Latvia has apparently voted to allow their citizens to join the fight on the Ukrainian side.

00:27:07.000 Now, how is that not declaring war? 0.96

00:27:09.000 It's so ridiculous. 0.85

00:27:10.000 Well, our military isn't involved. 1.00

00:27:12.000 We're just sending waves of our own citizens with guns into Ukraine to shoot you. 1.00

00:27:16.000 That to me is absurd. 0.97

00:27:17.000 Plus you've got the arming, you've got the resources, we'll put it that way, being given to Ukraine. 0.77

00:27:22.000 So it's ridiculous that we're at this point where it's like, well, if NATO gets involved, they're involved.

00:27:27.000 Yeah, so this is we're back under this is something that I've noticed, you know, kind of zipping around on Twitter, reading a lot of stuff that we seem to have kind of forgotten the sort of rules of the Cold War, like the reason that we don't go directly bullet to bullet, we don't fire upon Russian assets and Russian assets don't fire on us.

00:27:48.000 So we have these proxy wars, right to We had Afghanistan throughout the 70s and late 70s, early 80s.

00:27:53.000 Then we had the Vietnam War prior to that, where again, Russia, of course, was supporting the Viet Cong and supporting the NVA.

00:28:00.000 And then we got involved in the South, but Russia didn't actually send, you know, they may have had a couple advisors, but they didn't send forces down.

00:28:07.000 Same deal with Korea, right? 0.99

00:28:08.000 During the Korean War, Russia didn't get directly involved.

00:28:11.000 They had some air assets, but they sent China in, they had North Korea, but they didn't go in themselves.

00:28:16.000 Same idea for us.

00:28:17.000 We don't want to get into this shooting war with Another nuclear power. 0.98

00:28:21.000 So we end up doing all these proxy wars.

00:28:23.000 And essentially, if you're looking at it from Russia's perspective, they view the current regime, the government of Ukraine, and Ukrainian military as an American or at least Western proxy force.

00:28:37.000 This is since 2014.

00:28:39.000 Since 2014.

00:28:39.000 What, the CIA?

00:28:40.000 Since the coup.

00:28:41.000 Instigated the coup.

00:28:42.000 Is it official that the CIA was involved or is it just assumed?

00:28:45.000 I mean, they were certainly involved.

00:28:46.000 The level of involvement is debated, yeah.

00:28:48.000 There were certainly Western assets involved.

00:28:49.000 I mean, you can have a debate about who started it or whether or not it was justified, but it certainly was US-supported.

00:28:57.000 And that blockaded and hindered their ability to get oil into the Black Sea, so that's why he took Crimea almost instantly after that?

00:29:05.000 Well, I mean, it changed a lot of things, obviously.

00:29:08.000 But they were looking at a situation where, remember, the Russian Black Sea fleet that's at that port of Sevastopol has always been there, right?

00:29:14.000 That's always been a Russian naval port.

00:29:16.000 And that's their major port, their major Navy base on the Black Sea.

00:29:20.000 So they were never going to give that up.

00:29:22.000 They just weren't going to.

00:29:23.000 It's their only warm water port.

00:29:25.000 It also grants them access to the Mediterranean.

00:29:27.000 Yeah, it's key.

00:29:28.000 Which causes issues with the Bosphorus in Turkey because Turkey controls... Russia's already in a weakened position with that being the case.

00:29:37.000 Yeah, with Turkey being in NATO, I mean, how do they get through the Bosphorus?

00:29:39.000 Well, so, I mean... That's why they're taking Ukraine so they can go over land. 0.99

00:29:42.000 If you need to get through the Bosphorus, you know, just because Turkey says no doesn't mean you can't get through.

00:29:47.000 Yeah, I think there was a big issue with that because Russia did it. 0.61

00:29:49.000 No, no, I think the U.S.

00:29:50.000 did.

00:29:51.000 Somebody was like, we don't care and just went, and Turkey was like, eh. 0.95

00:29:54.000 Yeah, shipping routes, man.

00:29:55.000 I think the Suez is also underrated.

00:29:57.000 I think a big part of why the military buildup in the Middle East that the United States has been doing is to protect the Suez Canal and the shipping.

00:30:03.000 100%.

00:30:03.000 But also look at, if you want to go through and actually look at what we can see, not the apocalyptic, you know, version of Greta Thunberg climate change, but the actual climate change effects, that if you look at that Northern Sea route that's opening up across, essentially, the Arctic Ocean, Russia is a clear beneficiary of all of this because you can make it from Dalian, China to Rotenburg, Denmark in like two thirds the time or even half the time that you would take that you would need to go through the South China Sea and then the Suez Canal.

00:30:34.000 If you cut that all around, that's the reason that Russia knows that going 15 years from now, they're going to be the ones in charge of that northern sea route.

00:30:42.000 I would advise anyone that's listening to the show to pull up like a map, a Google map, or like some sort of map and follow along.

00:30:48.000 Yeah, because it's really cool when you type in the names of these places and you can understand geographically what's going on a lot easier.

00:30:54.000 Let's do this too.

00:30:55.000 I got this story out of UPI.

00:30:56.000 Russian warplanes violate Sweden's airspace.

00:31:00.000 Reportedly, Sweden's Air Force dispatched JAS-39 Gripen aircraft in response to two Russian Su-27s and two Su-24s briefly entering its airspace east of Gotland Island in the Baltic Sea.

00:31:12.000 We also have reports Japan says a Russian helicopter violated its airspace and scrambled fighter jets.

00:31:18.000 To give you context on the sheer size of Russia, We come over here to where we got Google Earth pulled up.

00:31:26.000 Here's Japan, right? 0.88

00:31:27.000 That's Russia right here. 0.72

00:31:28.000 There's Vladivostok.

00:31:29.000 And so you've got these islands.

00:31:31.000 We're talking about, what, 50 to 100 miles away from Japan.

00:31:34.000 That's Russia. 0.84

00:31:35.000 If we zoom out and go all the way across Russia over to Europe, check it out.

00:31:40.000 Not only do you have Moscow right here with Finland, you have Kaliningrad, which is right here.

00:31:44.000 It's an oblast.

00:31:45.000 And this is Scotland.

00:31:47.000 So Russia is massive.

00:31:50.000 On top of that, let's just go over here and point out the fact that Russia is 50 miles from the United States.

00:31:56.000 So they got a lot that they're spread out very thin.

00:32:00.000 It doesn't mean that they can win.

00:32:03.000 But it does mean that they can reach many different people very, very quickly.

00:32:08.000 And if Russia has been preparing this for some time, they can easily move troops and armaments into various regions Arguably, very close to many different countries you'd expect to be on the other side of the planet, without anyone knowing, or at the very least, without setting off alarm bells and pissing anybody off.

00:32:26.000 It's their own country, it's Russia. 0.93

00:32:27.000 So they put troops in the East and the West, and they can effectively be ready to fight on all spheres of the planet.

00:32:34.000 And one of the things that Jack was just talking about when it comes to the Arctic is, we've been watching the Ukraine build up for a long time, the troop build up on the Ukraine border for a long time.

00:32:43.000 The Putin's army buildup in the Arctic has been massive.

00:32:46.000 It gets very little coverage, and the ones who are the most afraid are the Norwegians, because they're not members of NATO, right?

00:32:51.000 I don't believe they're even part of the EU.

00:32:54.000 They're the largest oil and gas producer up there, but Russia is saying, no, no, no, this is ours.

00:32:59.000 The Arctic is ours, right?

00:33:00.000 And there's a reason why clearly they want the Arctic.

00:33:03.000 They are building enormous, and have built, enormous LNG ports along their north coast in terms of export LNG now directly to to the world in terms of military force.

00:33:15.000 I mean, it's it's it's pretty clear that Russia does have a strong command presence when it comes to the Arctic at this point, the United States, I think only has one icebreaker at this point.

00:33:25.000 And it's it's always you know, it's kind of in a It's always stuck in the ice.

00:33:33.000 It's barely, you know, barely works very well.

00:33:35.000 China has a ton of ice cutters, but of course, China does not have any actual access to the Arctic.

00:33:40.000 So if China, this is another part of that relationship, this burgeoning relationship that we're seeing between China and Russia.

00:33:47.000 If China wants access to the Arctic, they've got to go through Russia. 0.59

00:33:50.000 If Russia wants their financial backstop, they need to go to China.

00:33:54.000 You kick them off swift, well, one belt, one road is right there for you.

00:33:58.000 But Ian, in answer to your question, if I want to curb these excessive and obviously aggressive and insane behaviors of the Russian government, You know, you can say, all right, we're going to try to put sanctions on Russia.

00:34:10.000 But obviously, they've priced that into this proposition.

00:34:13.000 Have we tried putting sanctions or using economic leverage on China, on the oligarchs of the CCP, on CCP leaders, going after them, going after the Yuan, using anything that we can there?

00:34:24.000 Because obviously, China and the United States do not have a strong trade relationship.

00:34:28.000 We never really have.

00:34:29.000 But China and the United States?

00:34:31.000 Oh, yeah, obviously.

00:34:32.000 Russia, you said China?

00:34:33.000 Excuse me, Russia and the United States.

00:34:34.000 Russia and the United States.

00:34:35.000 You think that's just because we don't have sea routes and we're not, right?

00:34:37.000 Because China and the United States are kind of right next to each other.

00:34:39.000 I mean, I guess the Russians and the Americans do have plenty of sea connections.

00:34:43.000 They just don't have much to trade.

00:34:44.000 What is it?

00:34:45.000 Why are they not a great trade leader?

00:34:48.000 They're so massive is what I'm at.

00:34:50.000 Who, why the Russians, what is an American not trade leader?

00:34:52.000 Is it just because it's like uninhabitable?

00:34:54.000 Most of Russia, most of Russia is uninhabitable that those, the, your, yes, 1.00

00:34:58.000 on a map it's, it's massive, but a lot of that area is, is either unused or

00:35:02.000 it's not arable or they just don't have the people, the population to, uh, Putin

00:35:05.000 was trying to hire, you know, uh, farmers for Siberia at one point or like

00:35:09.000 recruit people to come in and, oh yeah.

00:35:10.000 Give them a place for free as long as they were on the land. 0.97

00:35:12.000 Right, they were talking about bringing, you know, the South African farmers up there as a way to, you know, get away from the issues they were facing, the farm murders down in South Africa.

00:35:19.000 But yeah, for the majority of that area, right, you're really only looking at it in terms of resources.

00:35:26.000 And when it comes to those resources, as Daniel, of course, would be able to explain much better than me, and knows it better than me, you know, we are competitors in those areas.

00:35:34.000 Yeah, it's pretty terrifying to think of the 21st century and all those resources in Russia, with the actual amount of power Russia has, which is not that much, and the amount of land they have, which is very, very, very much.

00:35:46.000 That's why the currency stuff doesn't hit them the way that we would expect it to, because they still have the resources.

00:35:52.000 But I would disagree when you say they're not that powerful.

00:35:54.000 They have, what, like 60% of the military capability of the entirety of NATO?

00:35:59.000 It's substantial.

00:36:00.000 They have a different type of cow.

00:36:02.000 More nukes.

00:36:04.000 Absolutely.

00:36:06.000 We are their largest customer for fertilizer, right?

00:36:10.000 Around $800 million a year in fertilizer that now probably we're not going to buy.

00:36:15.000 What are we going to do?

00:36:17.000 We live in a rural area.

00:36:18.000 You're getting ready to harvest in a couple of weeks.

00:36:20.000 What are you putting on your field?

00:36:22.000 You need about a hundred pounds of fertilizer per acre.

00:36:25.000 So if I have a 5,000 acre cornfield, do I just lose the crop so I have to buy it from somewhere else?

00:36:31.000 So what are corn prices going to do?

00:36:33.000 Wheat prices have already doubled.

00:36:35.000 So we're worried about the price of the pump.

00:36:38.000 I'm an energy guy.

00:36:38.000 And I am.

00:36:39.000 I'm worried about the price of the pump.

00:36:41.000 This November, I can't imagine what food prices are going to be.

00:36:44.000 And you want to see violence.

00:36:46.000 Wait till people are hungry.

00:36:46.000 Yo, it's already.

00:36:47.000 I might have misheard you.

00:36:48.000 You said, I thought you said we sell them.

00:36:50.000 No, we buy from them.

00:36:51.000 We buy fertilizer from them.

00:36:52.000 Yeah, no, we buy from them.

00:36:54.000 And it's disturbing that we buy it.

00:36:56.000 Well, no, it's disturbing that it might get cut off.

00:36:56.000 It's disturbing that we buy so much.

00:36:58.000 It's disturbing that we buy our pharmaceuticals from China.

00:37:01.000 And that is what I hate about globalism.

00:37:03.000 Who decided, who's the brain trust that said, let's put these things in the hands of our enemies? 0.99

00:37:09.000 Let's just point out how moronic the leadership of this country has been. 0.99

00:37:14.000 Outsourcing to China, then we get COVID. 0.99

00:37:17.000 What does China do? 0.60

00:37:18.000 They have their citizens across around the world buy up PPE and ship it back to China.

00:37:22.000 We don't make our own medicine. 1.00

00:37:24.000 You have to be a special kind of stupid to outsource to China and then pick a fight with Russia, who is going to be working with China. 0.98

00:37:34.000 So now we're in this position where, like you brought up, fertilizer, but we've also got vitamin C, antibiotics. 0.99

00:37:39.000 Now you get Biden coming out in the State of the Union address being like, We're gonna be investing in these these chips for your computer chips, and he's basically signaling War may be coming and we will lose Taiwan I can and I can verify that first thing you said in case anyone thinks that you're lying Which you never would or you're misrepresenting the truth married to an Australian in November of 19 Andrew said

00:38:03.000 I was talking to my mom, and he's from a rural town in the Outback, and said, my mom said the weirdest thing happened.

00:38:08.000 Like, she was at the grocery, and this bus of some Chinese people got off, and they bought everything.

00:38:15.000 She said, like, what the heck was that?

00:38:17.000 She said, and then, like, neighbors talk.

00:38:19.000 This is November of 19, he was saying, it's so weird.

00:38:22.000 Everyone I talk to in my little town says, a van of Chinese people will show up, and they will buy everything in the store, and it will disappear.

00:38:29.000 Well, it's interesting because we've been talking a little bit about nuclear weaponry and mutually assured destruction.

00:38:42.000 One thing not a lot of people consider is that biological weaponry is also considered to be a weapon or a form of a weapon of mass destruction.

00:38:48.000 And China literally created one and released it.

00:38:51.000 I know that there's still some debate around that technically, but I think it's pretty straightforward.

00:38:56.000 Wow.

00:38:57.000 I would say, yeah, well, it's so lab leak, but if a country accidentally detonated a nuke at another nation, I don't think we would give them a pass because it wasn't intentional. 0.86

00:39:06.000 This is, again, to the moronic nature of our leadership, for Fauci to be working in any way with any groups that were working with China. 0.92

00:39:16.000 You are working with a group that despises you. 0.95

00:39:19.000 The Chinese Communist Party does not like us.

00:39:22.000 They want to displace us.

00:39:23.000 They've insulted us.

00:39:26.000 Outright say they want to take Taiwan, they press the South China Sea, they sink Vietnamese ships. 0.98

00:39:30.000 This is not a country we should be like, let's give them more stuff.

00:39:34.000 Let's give them more access, more resources, more authority.

00:39:37.000 And it's just the sheer absurdity of the U.S.

00:39:40.000 picking a fight while giving things away.

00:39:42.000 It's the craziest thing.

00:39:44.000 So I suppose the neoliberal idea is that if we build trade lines, we won't go to war.

00:39:49.000 Well, that was it.

00:39:51.000 That was Clinton and the Golden Arches.

00:39:54.000 The Golden Arches theory is a version of it.

00:39:56.000 The idea that two nations that have a McDonald's have never gone to war with each other.

00:39:59.000 Which is not true.

00:40:00.000 It's not true now.

00:40:01.000 It's interesting because it is the case that countries that stop trading with each other are more likely to go to war.

00:40:07.000 Libertarians down hard.

00:40:08.000 Yeah, but that said yeah, I mean a huge part of this I think it's just indicative of our total inability to defer gratification as a people.

00:40:18.000 So there's this country that we're trying to pick fights with while at the same time still giving away our resources to them because there's a short-term gain for it in it for us.

00:40:26.000 We're not actually thinking about a long-term strategy here when they very much are.

00:40:30.000 I wouldn't say that not trading with a country makes you more likely to go to war with them.

00:40:34.000 I don't think that's a fair correlation.

00:40:35.000 I'm saying there's... I'm not... Okay, that's fair.

00:40:35.000 Oh, that's fair.

00:40:37.000 I mean, it's corollary.

00:40:39.000 It's not a causal thing.

00:40:40.000 They were saying it the other way around.

00:40:41.000 That if you trade, then you will not go to war.

00:40:43.000 It creates a disincentive to go to war.

00:40:44.000 And this is what we were told in the 90s when we gave China most favored nation status under Clinton.

00:40:49.000 As they begin to grow and become a trading partner and as they get a taste of our world.

00:40:54.000 It will open them up and it will make them more transparent.

00:40:56.000 And what they did is they polluted capitalism.

00:41:02.000 It's a very bizarre almost Marxist idea that the way we solve people's problems is just by increasing access to resources or building It's very materialistic.

00:41:11.000 It's an issue of materialism, yeah, so we do see it with hyper-capitalist ideologies

00:41:16.000 as well, but they meld together very, it's very ironic because people see like hyper-capitalism

00:41:21.000 and communism as being diametrically opposed, but the reality is this idea that we can solve

00:41:26.000 people's problems simply through materialism and that they will become more evolved and

00:41:31.000 better people because their wealth has grown is obviously completely backwards and we're

00:41:35.000 seeing the effects of that now with China.

00:41:36.000 Look at what we did in Afghanistan.

00:41:37.000 We gave them all iPads, but they don't have internet.

00:41:39.000 It's like, well, there you go.

00:41:41.000 Congratulations, guys.

00:41:42.000 I think we need the U.S.

00:41:44.000 government to heavily invest in some kind of public infrastructure for protecting the American people from nuclear war.

00:41:52.000 Perhaps we could build big underground vaults and we call the company something related that like vault tech.

00:42:00.000 Vault tech.

00:42:01.000 Like technology.

00:42:02.000 And we would number each vault.

00:42:03.000 In order to communicate, could we have certain armbands?

00:42:06.000 Yes.

00:42:07.000 Absolutely.

00:42:07.000 As an example.

00:42:08.000 Like a computer?

00:42:09.000 Actually, well, I'm... What would you even call something like that?

00:42:12.000 I don't know, like a...

00:42:15.000 Now, since the U.S.

00:42:16.000 dollar is going completely, you know, since the U.S.

00:42:19.000 dollar is going out of, is being devalued, what could we use as currency in this situation?

00:42:27.000 The most logical answer to that question would be soda bottle caps.

00:42:31.000 I can't think of anything else.

00:42:32.000 You can melt the metal down.

00:42:32.000 Well, it's metal.

00:42:34.000 It wouldn't make any sense to use ammo.

00:42:36.000 Daniel's like, what is going on right now?

00:42:39.000 I assume it's a movie or a video game.

00:42:41.000 I don't know what we're talking about right now.

00:42:41.000 Fallout.

00:42:43.000 I didn't even play.

00:42:45.000 I want to point out real quick.

00:42:45.000 I just know the lore.

00:42:47.000 When Jack said we could wear something on our wrists in Fallout, you have the Pip-Boy, and the Pip-Boy shows your health status.

00:42:47.000 I'm old.

00:42:53.000 I'm literally wearing a Wu.

00:42:55.000 You're pretty close, yeah.

00:42:55.000 I can pull up my health status and my heart rate and stuff.

00:42:59.000 But it doesn't have the graphics.

00:43:00.000 But check it out.

00:43:01.000 When I was getting sick, the whoop knew I was sick before I knew I was sick.

00:43:05.000 Of course.

00:43:06.000 And so did Google.

00:43:07.000 And so did Jeff Bezos.

00:43:08.000 He gets his daily Tim Pool report.

00:43:12.000 Jeff Bezos is like, he like wakes up and he goes to grab his coffee and then he like opens a tablet and he goes, Oh, Tim's sick.

00:43:17.000 Dude, wouldn't it be hilarious if there was just this long con sabotaging or like this idea of warfare where the companies that own that IP are actually like selling it to China and then China ever so tweaks like, all right, I know this is healthy for him.

00:43:31.000 We're going to tell him to do the less healthy thing instead of the thing that's more healthy for him because we're going to weaken him as a person.

00:43:36.000 You'll notice people didn't really laugh when you said that.

00:43:38.000 That's kind of freakishly possible.

00:43:40.000 People drive into swamps because their Google Maps tell them to sometimes.

00:43:40.000 Do you think so?

00:43:44.000 No, I think it's possible.

00:43:46.000 I think it's possible that people would listen to that.

00:43:48.000 I'm half joking about this because it seems like such a tiny little thing.

00:43:48.000 Absolutely.

00:43:53.000 Yeah.

00:43:54.000 Before it, guys, before we get too far off this.

00:43:56.000 So the nuclear plant situation.

00:44:00.000 The actual nuclear specialists are coming out of the woodwork to say that no, we would not see a Marvel movie-style explosion.

00:44:09.000 Yes, it is bad.

00:44:10.000 There could be radiation that comes out of that.

00:44:10.000 Fuel could leak.

00:44:12.000 But let's not retweet government pronouncements uncritically.

00:44:15.000 It is a different kind of reactor than Chernobyl.

00:44:17.000 You can scram it.

00:44:18.000 You can do emergency shutdowns.

00:44:20.000 The concrete shells they have on this thing are capable of being hit by aircraft weighing 20 tons and not going They were not melting down.

00:44:28.000 And it's, Ian, you and I were just talking about this before, you know, the reason Chernobyl melted down is because they were running a test and the test went crazy.

00:44:35.000 It wasn't just some random fire that broke out and then it, you know, ignited everything.

00:44:39.000 And Chernobyl, because it exploded, it shot nuclear fissile material into the atmosphere, I believe, and then it blanketed the area.

00:44:46.000 Right after carbon.

00:44:47.000 If the corium just melts, it just falls into the earth.

00:44:49.000 It just falls down and then hits the cement and then melts through the cement and keeps melting through the ground until it cools down.

00:44:56.000 So fortunately for everybody out there, you know, crazy as it is, you are not in a situation where this thing could melt down over this.

00:45:03.000 Hey, they turned the chat on, it looks like.

00:45:04.000 Oh, no.

00:45:05.000 No, they stopped it.

00:45:05.000 Okay.

00:45:06.000 The stream ended.

00:45:06.000 I see.

00:45:07.000 They did have a chat.

00:45:07.000 Oh, they stopped the stream.

00:45:09.000 Yeah.

00:45:09.000 We'll see if they have a new one.

00:45:09.000 Stream ended.

00:45:11.000 Did they have a new one up?

00:45:12.000 Yeah.

00:45:13.000 But does that have the chat up?

00:45:15.000 Disabled.

00:45:16.000 Chat is disabled.

00:45:17.000 Oh, I still have a chat going but maybe it's... They disabled the chat for the nuclear firefight.

00:45:21.000 I can't tell... Can you imagine, can you imagine being able to see the chat?

00:45:27.000 The APCs are still there.

00:45:28.000 The artillery is still there.

00:45:30.000 Can you imagine, like, if we were able to document other historic events like this, if we were able to watch live streams that had occurred of, like, events in World War II and see the chat.

00:45:38.000 Pickets charged.

00:45:39.000 And a lot of people were just like, yeah.

00:45:41.000 I still have a chat on mine.

00:45:42.000 Really?

00:45:43.000 Oh, you're on a different one.

00:45:45.000 Yeah, someone else has aggregated a bunch of live feeds.

00:45:47.000 Hastings.com, like, oh, he's arrived.

00:45:49.000 Right.

00:45:50.000 William's here.

00:45:50.000 Well, I wonder...

00:45:52.000 The charge of the Light Brigade.

00:45:53.000 I wonder how much of it would just be like crazy, insane memes too, because I feel like that's what it's going to be today.

00:45:58.000 No, no, it was. 0.93

00:45:59.000 I was talking about this, the Megaminds Ukrainians with massive balls meme, and I'm like, it was a really garbage meme, but you've got intelligence agencies spamming pro-Ukraine propaganda. 0.89

00:46:10.000 It works to a certain degree. 0.87

00:46:12.000 Look at all the people that have put the Ukrainian flags in their Twitter profiles.

00:46:16.000 I'll tell you one of the things that really triggered the establishment, the lefty activists,

00:46:21.000 was when I said, I noticed everyone was flying West Virginia's colors.

00:46:24.000 I was like, it's about time everyone recognized how awesome the state is, because, you know,

00:46:27.000 West Virginia University uses blue and gold.

00:46:30.000 They got pissed at me for that.

00:46:31.000 I was like, why are you so mad?

00:46:32.000 It's a joke about the colors for West Virginia.

00:46:35.000 Calm down.

00:46:36.000 I think they really believe this is like the end of Western civilization.

00:46:39.000 This is like the beginning of the end of Western civilization.

00:46:41.000 People have been so freaked out and manipulated by Russia.

00:46:44.000 I understand the fear of the Soviet Union, communist nuclear missile crisis, but Russia is not the Soviet Union, it's a federation.

00:46:51.000 You can argue there are a bunch of oligarchs in control over there, as well as you could argue that in America that there are. 0.95

00:46:55.000 And in China, apparently, oligarchs are running the show. 1.00

00:46:58.000 And in Ukraine.

00:46:59.000 And in Ukraine.

00:47:00.000 But I do love what you said, because you have heard that a lot from politicians.

00:47:03.000 This is an attack on Western civilization.

00:47:05.000 We have to defend Western civilization.

00:47:07.000 And the first thing I thought of was if Six weeks ago.

00:47:10.000 I said something about Western civilization.

00:47:12.000 You would have called me like a white nationalist You know now we love Western civilization again, you see Joe Biden when he said that the people of Ukraine are fighting for their homeland and they're like I have an iron will an iron will and And it was, Lauren Southern pointed this out.

00:47:29.000 She was like, that was like every racist dog whistle. 1.00

00:47:32.000 That if Trump said that, they would start writing article after article saying it.

00:47:37.000 So her argument was he was accidentally racist by their own standards.

00:47:41.000 And she's right.

00:47:41.000 She's right.

00:47:42.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:47:42.000 They just ignored it.

00:47:43.000 So you know what they're doing, by the way, with this?

00:47:45.000 They are going to, I guarantee you, they are going to try to use this nuclear plant situation as a way to get a no-fly zone instituted.

00:47:53.000 You watch.

00:47:53.000 Yeah.

00:47:54.000 I can see this is where it's going to go.

00:47:56.000 They're going to turn around and say, you have to institute this because of the recklessness that we're seeing, because of the shelling, and you're going to have to institute a no-fly zone at whatever the cost.

00:48:07.000 And I assure you, in the event that happens, they're going to liken it to Chernobyl.

00:48:11.000 They're going to say, the risks of another Chernobyl should never be allowed!

00:48:15.000 Oh my goodness.

00:48:16.000 So we are instituting a no-fly zone!

00:48:18.000 Vladimir Putin, mark my words!

00:48:20.000 I didn't see Chernobyl the movie, but was it scare tactic or was it accurate?

00:48:23.000 It was a TV show, wasn't it?

00:48:25.000 I thought it was fantastic.

00:48:27.000 I thought it was very well done, actually.

00:48:28.000 But did it scare people into nuclear fear?

00:48:31.000 Oh, big time.

00:48:33.000 Big time.

00:48:33.000 I mean, if you're someone who's anti-nuclear, that's the movie you want everywhere.

00:48:38.000 The Fukushima meltdown scared Angela Merkel into canceling her whole country's nuclear reactors.

00:48:43.000 And you want to say, but Germany doesn't have a lot of tsunamis, Angela.

00:48:46.000 Like, you shouldn't be worried about that.

00:48:49.000 Let me tell you, Angela Merkel, if a tsunami hit Germany, nuclear fallout is the least of your problems, right?

00:48:54.000 You got a lot bigger.

00:48:55.000 But she shut down the entire country's nuclear program. 1.00

00:48:58.000 Now they're buying LNG from Russia, and they're afraid to sanction that.

00:49:02.000 Liquid natural gas.

00:49:03.000 Which is methane.

00:49:05.000 Yeah.

00:49:07.000 And because they don't have enough energy.

00:49:09.000 Are there other natural gases than methane?

00:49:12.000 No, that's the predominant one, is methane.

00:49:14.000 And if you look at Germany, like the amount of coast they have, it's not that much.

00:49:19.000 So, you know, where are they shutting down these nuclear power plants?

00:49:23.000 It's just Greta Thunberg comes out and she said those magic words.

00:49:27.000 She said, how dare you?

00:49:29.000 And everyone just collapsed and grasped their hearts and realized how wrong they were.

00:49:35.000 For years, we were talking, and Dan, you and I used to talk about this when we were doing One American News, that it was always the Russians that were funding these anti-fracking groups for years.

00:49:45.000 And if you turn on, so okay, they banned RT, right?

00:49:47.000 So RT America isn't there.

00:49:48.000 I think they're still up on YouTube for now.

00:49:50.000 You can go to RT.com.

00:49:52.000 And it was down for a little bit today, actually.

00:49:54.000 Well, no, let's do this.

00:49:55.000 But what was interesting, and not to get into the censorship angle, but you could see what Russia's strategic interests were based on the story selection there.

00:50:04.000 And a huge chunk of their programming was devoted towards green groups, was devoted to anti-fracking, was devoted to this, so that you could watch that and you could say, oh, well, that's something that Russia wants to push. 0.67

00:50:17.000 I wonder why that is.

00:50:19.000 And then I talked to a guy who understands energy. 0.95

00:50:21.000 But you'd sound like a lunatic if you said that just a couple of years ago.

00:50:24.000 People were like, oh, take your tinfoil hat. 0.94

00:50:26.000 Like, oh, he wants to watch RT to find out what the Russians want.

00:50:29.000 No, doesn't that make sense?

00:50:30.000 Doesn't it follow?

00:50:31.000 Let me tell you about RT.

00:50:32.000 We got the story from TimCast.com.

00:50:34.000 Staff of RT America laid off as network announces it is halting production.

00:50:38.000 In a memo to its employees, RT America cited unforeseen business interruption events.

00:50:43.000 Yeah, it could be war.

00:50:47.000 Let me tell you about Russia Today and Sputnik.

00:50:51.000 I was at the RT and Sputnik offices in 2016 during the election with Cassandra Fairbanks and the people in that office Every single one save Cassandra was a pro-Democrat, pro-Hillary activist or individual.

00:51:07.000 They were crying when Donald Trump started winning and then when he won.

00:51:12.000 People were crying.

00:51:12.000 How many rubles were you paid to say that to him?

00:51:15.000 Zero rubles!

00:51:17.000 We know from the dossier that the Ukrainians had nothing to do with that Russia wanted Trump to win.

00:51:25.000 We know this.

00:51:26.000 You look at the content that RT has promoted, the people they've hired, they're anti-war, anti-establishment, and typically leftists.

00:51:35.000 Like, during Occupy Wall Street, people were like, oh yeah, RT.

00:51:37.000 Like, I knew a ton of people during Occupy would be like, you gotta watch RT.

00:51:41.000 Because they were the ones telling the truth about Occupy Wall Street.

00:51:44.000 Or, another way to put it is, promoting anti-establishment protests in the United States that could potentially destabilize.

00:51:49.000 I thought RT and Al Jazeera were great sources during the Syrian con when they wanted to go and invade Syria.

00:51:55.000 I was like, what's really going on?

00:51:57.000 And people, it was like people like, uh, like Lee Camp.

00:51:59.000 People like Lee Camp speaking out against the Syrian war on RT.

00:52:02.000 I don't know if he was on his RT show at that point.

00:52:04.000 If he had started Redacted Tonight at that point, or if he was still on his first show.

00:52:07.000 Look at this.

00:52:07.000 Lee Camp.

00:52:08.000 He's anti-war.

00:52:09.000 I've known him for a long time.

00:52:11.000 I always thought of him as more of a lefty guy.

00:52:14.000 Redacted Tonight was a show on RTS.

00:52:15.000 Redacted Tonight has been cancelled because the US war machine can't handle the truth.

00:52:20.000 If you want to follow my work, go to LeeCamp.com.

00:52:22.000 But not only that, his show on Spotify So let me see.

00:52:27.000 He retweeted it a while ago.

00:52:27.000 It's probably on mine.

00:52:28.000 I don't know if Twitter's going to let me pull it up because I can make me log in.

00:52:31.000 So here we go.

00:52:32.000 His podcast on Spotify has been taken down as well, which is insane because I don't think it had anything to do with... Oh, come on.

00:52:39.000 Are you going to load or not? 0.99

00:52:40.000 Twitter's so stupid. 1.00

00:52:41.000 Let me see if I can pull it up again. 1.00

00:52:43.000 I don't think it's showing anything to do with... There we go.

00:52:46.000 He says a great deal of anti-war and leftist shows are currently being deleted by Spotify, including my personal podcast, Moment of Clarity.

00:52:54.000 You can continue to get all of my stuff by signing up for my email list at LeeCamp.com and RadIndieMedia.com My question is, if that's just LeeCamp's personal podcast, which he also has on YouTube, Moment of Clarity, he's got 18,000 subscribers, Why did he get banned from Spotify?

00:53:11.000 Irrational fear porn.

00:53:12.000 It's the Russian fear. 0.65

00:53:13.000 He was hired by RT?

00:53:15.000 He's an American citizen!

00:53:16.000 RT America?

00:53:16.000 I mean, yeah, technically RT.

00:53:18.000 I guess he's paying his bills, but that doesn't mean they're telling him what to say.

00:53:20.000 Look at this.

00:53:21.000 Rachel Blevins, who does not work for RT anymore because RT doesn't exist, is labeled Russian state-affiliated media on Twitter.

00:53:30.000 She's never going to be able to get rid of that.

00:53:32.000 None of these people are.

00:53:33.000 I hope they do.

00:53:34.000 I mean, oh, this is something I want to talk about Magic Noir.

00:53:36.000 How long after you commit a crime or some sort of transgression do you have to bear the title of that?

00:53:40.000 Just think about what this means moving forward.

00:53:42.000 The hysteria.

00:53:43.000 When they are labeling people as Russians, What happens if this war escalates?

00:53:49.000 You think internment camps are the question?

00:53:50.000 You would be wrong.

00:53:51.000 No, of course not.

00:53:52.000 Especially if, as you said, food's gonna get a lot more expensive and the establishment isn't gonna say that it has anything to do with their irresponsibility in printing trillions of dollars into basing our currency.

00:54:02.000 It's because of what the Russians are doing in Ukraine. 0.97

00:54:05.000 Blame them. 0.89

00:54:05.000 It's their fault. 0.89

00:54:06.000 And your Russian next-door neighbor, if you happen to have one, is just as culpable as anybody else or more culpable than we are, certainly. 1.00

00:54:15.000 And so, no, it's not out of the question.

00:54:17.000 When food gets expensive and you have to decide who gets it, then the prisoners are not the ones.

00:54:21.000 Dude, they're going to scapegoat somebody.

00:54:23.000 I'm not saying it's necessarily going to be the Russians, but they're going to scapegoat somebody for their irresponsibility. 0.96

00:54:28.000 It's already started.

00:54:30.000 It's clearly already started.

00:54:31.000 They're being scapegoated.

00:54:32.000 They're being scapegoated for the inflation.

00:54:35.000 If you're from Russia, if you're from Belarus, right?

00:54:37.000 And I've talked to Belarusians, right?

00:54:39.000 I've heard from Russians about this.

00:54:40.000 I heard you're sleeping with a Belarusian. 0.90

00:54:44.000 It's one way to put it. 0.67

00:54:45.000 They hate this.

00:54:47.000 They hate this war, but you have to understand they are underneath their regimes, right?

00:54:52.000 These are not democracies.

00:54:54.000 You can't actually judge this the exact same way that you would somewhere else, right?

00:54:58.000 And I don't remember the United States getting completely cancelled, every American cancelled, because of the Iraq war, the Iraq invasion, which was, by the way, yes, unilateral invasion.

00:55:06.000 Obviously, that doesn't justify the aggression that Putin's doing right now.

00:55:10.000 But at the same time, you have to look at this and say, look, These people are subjects of their regimes.

00:55:15.000 They're subjects of authoritarian leaders like Lukashenko, like Putin.

00:55:19.000 They don't have any way to effectively respond.

00:55:21.000 Yeah, they can protest and then they all get arrested just like up in, you know, Canada.

00:55:26.000 You know, another bastion of democracy up there.

00:55:28.000 And so you're gonna turn around and yet blame all of the people who just want to live their lives.

00:55:33.000 Who literally just want to live their lives and don't want to be involved in this.

00:55:36.000 I don't think that our invasion of Iraq and Libya, our current invasion, that we are doing right now, we're invading those countries today, right now, I don't think it justifies the invasion, but it definitely explains it. 0.99

00:55:46.000 Well, it destroys our moral standing in the world.

00:55:49.000 And so how can you turn around from a governmental perspective and say, well, we disagree with you doing that when you look at what the United States, by the way, yes, through NATO has done throughout the years, right?

00:56:01.000 And so when you look at Libya, when you look at Afghanistan, when you look at Iraq, you just go around, you could literally walk place to place to place.

00:56:07.000 It's nothing but death and destruction other than, you know, the protection of some parts of Europe, which has been Why is someone yelling yeah, what's up, dude?

00:56:18.000 I watched oh, this is this is the live stream.

00:56:20.000 Okay, this is uh, that's the live stream I watched a video on Uday Hussain last night cuz Rogan I heard him mention he's talking to Majid Nawaz on a show about how horrible Saddam's kids were and I was like, oh, yeah, so Uday Hussain it looks like he was just like daddy's little boy who Saddam beat the hell out of growing up and then I Daddy was like, you can have anything you want, son, anything. 0.97

00:56:43.000 Every video you find of Uday, he's tripping his balls off.

00:56:45.000 It's like he just takes psychedelics. 0.93

00:56:47.000 It's like he's in a... Dude, and he just beat the... He would just abuse... I mean, the human atrocities... Okay, yeah, this is a little off topic, but America went in saying, we gotta stop human atrocity, and Uday was putting people in, like, bleeding machines.

00:57:01.000 He was a psychopath, so... But still, the invasion is completely irrational.

00:57:05.000 Let me pull this tweet from Kyle Griffin.

00:57:07.000 Kyle Griffin, of course, was the MSNBC producer, says the National Association of Broadcasters has issued a statement calling on broadcasters to stop carrying Russian-sponsored programming that's affiliated with the Russian government or its agents.

00:57:19.000 And what are the responses?

00:57:21.000 What do you think people are saying?

00:57:21.000 What are they saying?

00:57:22.000 Who are its agents?

00:57:22.000 No, they're saying...

00:57:24.000 Fox is off the air?

00:57:25.000 Does that include Fox?

00:57:26.000 Ooh, no good for Fox.

00:57:27.000 Right, so who gets labeled a Russian agent now?

00:57:30.000 Because I remember in the Mueller investigation, during all of Russiagate, everyone was labeled a Russian agent.

00:57:36.000 Everyone.

00:57:37.000 Yeah, so this is my prediction.

00:57:38.000 They're going to start calling all Russians bad, and then they're going to start calling all Republicans Russians.

00:57:43.000 Well, they've been doing that for seven years.

00:57:46.000 You're seeing the culmination of that now.

00:57:48.000 I think National Association of Broadcasters, the CEO of that is still Biden's best friend, Chris Dodd.

00:57:55.000 I have to look at that.

00:57:57.000 I thought Senator Dodd was the head of the NAB, which would be interesting.

00:58:00.000 I mean, every trade association has a former senator.

00:58:02.000 Remember the Dodd-Kennedy sandwich?

00:58:04.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:58:05.000 That same Chris Dodd.

00:58:06.000 That Chris Dodd.

00:58:08.000 It's interesting, um, the way, I mean, we've said this before, the left constantly projects, and so that's part of why they're always accusing everyone else of being racist.

00:58:15.000 They are extremely obsessed with race and ethnic identity.

00:58:18.000 That's why they say things like, even if a person isn't white, when they're doing something that favors the system or the patriarchy, they are acting as a white supremacist.

00:58:26.000 They're acting in the stead of whiteness. 0.84

00:58:29.000 And now with all this going on, of course, it's all Russians, even ones who have absolutely nothing to do with the conflict, even though most of them living in the country had absolutely no ability to make any decision whether Or not. 0.96

00:58:38.000 Ukraine was going to be invaded.

00:58:40.000 There's uniforms.

00:58:40.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:58:41.000 They're all being slapped with this label.

00:58:44.000 And in the same way that you often see black political commentators who happen to be conservative labeled as white or white supremacists, I agree with Lydia that we're going to see people being labeled as Russian or Russian-adjacent.

00:59:02.000 Or at the very least that that's very possible.

00:59:03.000 And you've got to look back at History to see what will happen now that we can consider to be a rhyme.

00:59:10.000 History doesn't repeat in rhymes.

00:59:11.000 So, um, what could happen now?

00:59:14.000 Well, freezing of bank accounts.

00:59:16.000 Already seen it.

00:59:16.000 Yup.

00:59:17.000 Yup.

00:59:17.000 Suspension of, uh, of, uh, accounts through, through other, uh, like, like Airbnb and things like that, other services.

00:59:24.000 Being totally removed from social media.

00:59:26.000 They have put a label on Rachel Blevins. 0.99

00:59:29.000 This is creepy stuff.

00:59:31.000 Maybe they'll change Russian state-affiliated media.

00:59:33.000 She doesn't work there anymore. 0.61

00:59:35.000 Twitter should remove it immediately.

00:59:36.000 Lee Camp having his personal podcast deleted for simply having worked for RT in a separate capacity.

00:59:43.000 It was completely deleted off Spotify.

00:59:46.000 Spotify removed it.

00:59:47.000 Does he have cop backups?

00:59:49.000 Oh, it's on YouTube as well.

00:59:49.000 YouTube hasn't taken it down.

00:59:51.000 But this is where it starts getting really creepy, where they're basically going to start labeling people as like, Lessers or It's like the others.

01:00:03.000 They're gonna say are you an other was that a black mirror episode?

01:00:05.000 What was that movie or was that TV show remember?

01:00:07.000 Do you remember?

01:00:07.000 I don't know if you guys remember that one where people are like, are you an other I think yeah, it was a movie.

01:00:13.000 Where some guy is like, you know, here's on TV, a politician say something about,

01:00:18.000 I don't wanna repeat it because YouTube would get mad.

01:00:19.000 I know what you're talking, I think I passed it in and out of the room as you guys were watching this.

01:00:23.000 It wasn't Black Mirror, but it was a similar anthology series.

01:00:26.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:00:27.000 Yeah, what was it, Creepshow maybe or something?

01:00:29.000 I don't know.

01:00:30.000 But it's like the TV, a politician says something about like all others are bad.

01:00:33.000 Yeah, it's like some new TV show.

01:00:34.000 And literally says all those.

01:00:35.000 It's very on the nose, yeah.

01:00:36.000 Is it Channel Zero maybe?

01:00:38.000 I don't know.

01:00:39.000 I watch a bunch of these weird sci-fi things.

01:00:40.000 And then he goes around and he's like, what was that the other day

01:00:43.000 when they're talking about the others?

01:00:44.000 And they're like, why do you care?

01:00:45.000 Are you another?

01:00:46.000 And he goes, no, no, I just saw that.

01:00:47.000 And like, what is that about?

01:00:49.000 And they were like, you're not defending others, are you?

01:00:51.000 And he was like, no, no, I just don't understand.

01:00:54.000 And then eventually, the more he started asking questions about why you're demonizing others, they said, you must be an other.

01:01:00.000 And he sees like a woman running on the street, screaming help. 0.81

01:01:02.000 And they're just beating the crap out of her.

01:01:03.000 And he's like, why are you doing that?

01:01:05.000 And they're like, she's an other. 0.93

01:01:06.000 And he's like, well, stop hitting her.

01:01:07.000 And they're like, you must be an other too.

01:01:09.000 That's where we're going.

01:01:11.000 Russians. 0.94

01:01:12.000 They're going to ban you. 0.99

01:01:13.000 They're going to shut you down.

01:01:14.000 They're going to put a label on you.

01:01:15.000 Let me correct myself.

01:01:16.000 Chris Dodd is Motion Picture Association.

01:01:19.000 They're gonna make sure to make it clear. They are going to make you wear a tag on your social media profiles

01:01:27.000 identifying you as Russian state affiliated media and 30 years ago Seinfeld

01:01:33.000 did that skit with the age ribbon Who won't wear the ribbon?

01:01:37.000 Hey, I marched!

01:01:38.000 I marched!

01:01:38.000 I don't want to wear the ribbon!

01:01:40.000 Who?

01:01:41.000 Who does not want to wear the ribbon?

01:01:43.000 That's where we are now.

01:01:44.000 That's where we are now.

01:01:47.000 The State of the Union and it's and by the way, you know, I look at that stuff and I saw there was like a photo op that they did with this like American Ukrainian flag thing.

01:01:55.000 I hate what I did today.

01:01:57.000 I hate that.

01:01:57.000 So you're defacing our flag that by the way, that is a defacement.

01:02:00.000 That's actually the you have changed the face of the flag.

01:02:03.000 That's where the word defacement comes from, of the flag itself.

01:02:07.000 In order to do that.

01:02:09.000 So, you're not actually going to do anything for the people of Ukraine.

01:02:12.000 You sold them all these weapons, and you provoked Russia. 0.86

01:02:16.000 You talked about them joining NATO, so you lied to them about that.

01:02:20.000 You sold them this false promise.

01:02:21.000 Now that Russia is pissed off, they're attacking you.

01:02:24.000 They've gone completely insane, so they're shelling cities at this point.

01:02:27.000 They're using artillery on cities.

01:02:29.000 And Russia's not going to stop, because this is how Russia fights. 0.91

01:02:33.000 And in the meanwhile, instead of, you know, actually helping the Ukrainian people that you promised, you're not going to do that, but you're going to hold photo ops, and you're going to put on lapel pins and put up hashtags as if that's actually going to stop anyone from dying.

01:02:44.000 The show was Electric Dreams.

01:02:46.000 Thank you for Waffle Sensei.

01:02:47.000 Yeah, Electric Dreams.

01:02:48.000 Awesome show, by the way.

01:02:50.000 That episode, seriously, I talked about it before.

01:02:52.000 You guys should watch.

01:02:54.000 It's the last episode.

01:02:55.000 It's an anthology series.

01:02:57.000 I thought it was absolutely fantastic.

01:02:59.000 Like, the otherization of people.

01:03:02.000 Can I ask something here?

01:03:03.000 Does Twitter do this with people who are affiliated with state media, generally speaking?

01:03:09.000 Or are they only doing this to people affiliated with Russian state media?

01:03:12.000 I think they do it with Chinese state media.

01:03:15.000 But do they do it to the BBC?

01:03:16.000 No.

01:03:16.000 Or the CBC?

01:03:17.000 We've got Indian state media.

01:03:18.000 That's a great point.

01:03:19.000 There's a lot of Indian state media.

01:03:20.000 NPR?

01:03:23.000 Well, I think, what does NPR get, like, a microscopic 4%?

01:03:26.000 Or Al Jazeera?

01:03:28.000 All of Al Jazeera is owned by the Qatari government.

01:03:31.000 Al Jazeera, AJ Plus, all the rest of it.

01:03:34.000 The amazing thing was about the demonization of Russia today, which always confused me, was that Al Jazeera Plus pushed the exact same opinions as RT, for the most part.

01:03:44.000 For the most part, yeah.

01:03:45.000 And it was funded by the Qatari government, yet it was never demonized, and I was confused by this.

01:03:50.000 It was clear the issue was the nation of Russia and not the propaganda of, you know, it's not the messaging of what they're doing, it's the fact that Russia owns it.

01:03:58.000 So if another channel is state-owned and does literally the same thing, promoting the exact same things, who cares?

01:04:04.000 I just find it very interesting that the elite in the ruling class have absolutely no problem with information being imported into our country that's going to destabilize our unity as a country.

01:04:13.000 It just bothers them on the basis of who's doing it.

01:04:16.000 Yo, there's some... Yeah, because they're the only ones who want to be able to do it.

01:04:19.000 Exactly, exactly.

01:04:20.000 It's useful to them.

01:04:21.000 I want to see Joe Biden come out and say, President Zelensky, You have our support, but you must condemn the Azov Battalion. 1.00

01:04:31.000 We will not tolerate neo-Nazism. 0.81

01:04:34.000 I want to see him stand by his campaign message about white nationalism and white supremacy and offer up his support to Zelensky and Ukraine, but condemn the neo-Nazis of the Azov Battalion.

01:04:46.000 Tim, didn't you know the entire reason Joe Biden decided to run for president was Charlottesville?

01:04:52.000 He's literally been on the record saying that.

01:04:53.000 That's the entire reason he decided to run for president.

01:04:55.000 So why isn't he saying something about this?

01:04:57.000 The Azov battalions, no joke.

01:04:59.000 Majid Nawaz on the show last night was really trying to hammer this one home.

01:05:02.000 So what's happening is people from around the world are going to Ukraine to fight with the Azov, and then they're getting radicalized.

01:05:08.000 And then when this is done, what he sees happening, or what he fears, is that they're going to go back home, newly radicalized, and with all this military training now, and then spread this Nazism around the world. 0.69

01:05:19.000 It's the Mujahideen all over again. 1.00

01:05:21.000 It's going to be like the Syrian rebels to ISIS.

01:05:23.000 You're going to have these people go there, be radicalized, fight for an ideology, and then maintain that.

01:05:29.000 Or you're going to empower people of radical ideology with military training and capabilities.

01:05:34.000 And we know where that goes.

01:05:36.000 But I tell you this, man, history rhymes.

01:05:38.000 The U.S.

01:05:39.000 continually does this, and it's almost like they like doing it.

01:05:42.000 It's good for whatever it is.

01:05:43.000 I shouldn't even say the U.S., the West.

01:05:45.000 Halliburton.

01:05:46.000 Yeah, the military-industrial complex for sure.

01:05:48.000 Well, and we know how it works.

01:05:49.000 Anyone who can be even tangentially associated with the right is a person who we can blame the entirety of the conservative movement for every single thing that they do.

01:05:59.000 So they're constantly conflating regular conservatives with the far right, with Nazis, etc.

01:06:05.000 And so if there are these attacks, if Majid's prediction comes true, and I think it's a very interesting and compelling one, Then what's going to happen is you will have neo-Nazis engaging in violence more often because they'll have acquired combat experience.

01:06:16.000 And then what's going to happen is they're going to say, look at the rise in far-right violence.

01:06:19.000 Now we need to censor regular run-of-the-mill conservatives because it was them who radicalized people by pushing them down these rabbit holes, which turned them into Nazis.

01:06:28.000 It's also an excuse to ramp up federal military police when you have internal strife like Nazism on the streets. 0.71

01:06:35.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:06:36.000 Do y'all know about the Office of Censorship in the United States?

01:06:39.000 The Office of Censorship was an emergency wartime agency set up in the U.S.

01:06:43.000 from December 19, 1941 to aid in the censorship of all communications coming into and out of the United States, including its territories in the Philippines.

01:06:52.000 The efforts of the Office of Censorship to balance the protection of sensitive war-related information with the constitutional freedoms of the press is considered largely successful.

01:07:01.000 Largely successful?

01:07:01.000 Oh, largely successful!

01:07:02.000 Oh, it was amazing!

01:07:03.000 Thank you, Wikipedia, for telling us about the successful Office of Censorship.

01:07:08.000 Loose lips sink ships. 1.00

01:07:11.000 The fact is, look at that, thanks IkeTheCensors.

01:07:16.000 Why would we not see the same thing in a World War III scenario? 0.82

01:07:19.000 Or even, maybe we don't even call it World War III.

01:07:21.000 Maybe we enter into full-scale war with just Russia alone and NATO.

01:07:25.000 Why would we not see this same effort?

01:07:27.000 Well, we saw this effort with COVID.

01:07:29.000 Exactly!

01:07:30.000 I was just about to say, didn't we have the Biden administration pressuring social media companies to remove information that they considered to be misinformation?

01:07:35.000 But I'm saying escalated to the next degree.

01:07:37.000 The FCC commissioner nominee who is up, I can't remember her name right now, But they're trying to block it.

01:07:43.000 This is exactly her position.

01:07:45.000 We just saw, we just went through two years of understanding what it was that the amount of people that, you know, the critical mass amount of people would go along with.

01:07:56.000 And they ratcheted things up and they ratcheted things up in the name of crisis, in the name of national emergency.

01:08:02.000 And they just got, had a huge system-wide test.

01:08:06.000 Of everything that they could roll out without seeing any meaningful pushback whatsoever.

01:08:12.000 And in Canada, they're about a year ahead of us.

01:08:14.000 And you know what?

01:08:15.000 I'll add this, Tim.

01:08:16.000 Maybe this is a little bit of a black pill here, but I don't think we'd have another Office of Censorship because we don't need one.

01:08:21.000 Yeah, we already have Google.

01:08:23.000 Exactly.

01:08:23.000 They just flip a switch.

01:08:25.000 You're done.

01:08:25.000 Or Alphabet, rather.

01:08:26.000 It's even more terrifying.

01:08:27.000 They have like 13 companies which are like AI.

01:08:29.000 We are the Alphabet!

01:08:31.000 Alphabet is the name of the company.

01:08:33.000 It's funny because we also have the Alphabet Agencies.

01:08:36.000 It's not a coincidence.

01:08:38.000 We're kind of like one of those alphabet companies, and they're like, yeah, we are.

01:08:42.000 Alphabet.

01:08:43.000 We'll just call ourselves Alphabet.

01:08:44.000 Psychedelics in action.

01:08:47.000 I wonder if Google was, you know, doing all this really great work and they were like, don't be evil guys.

01:08:52.000 And then some, you know, some, uh, bureaucratic administrative state walk guy walks in and says, we're taking over.

01:08:57.000 And the first thing we had to do is guys that, that, that slogan, don't be evil.

01:09:00.000 We're evil.

01:09:01.000 Come on.

01:09:02.000 That's the new model.

01:09:03.000 They were trying to get rid of a double negative.

01:09:05.000 When you say don't be evil, people hear evil, evil, evil.

01:09:08.000 And then they just start thinking it and be, but when you write it and you read it, it interacts with your brain differently than when you hear it.

01:09:13.000 No, Ian.

01:09:14.000 They're just evil.

01:09:15.000 Well, that might be true, too.

01:09:17.000 I mean, it's different people that own the company now.

01:09:18.000 Like, Larry and Sergey were pretty cool, but man, did that thing get out of hand.

01:09:21.000 Aren't they still in Alphabet, though?

01:09:22.000 Partially.

01:09:23.000 I just saw that Sergey sold a bunch of stock last July, I think.

01:09:28.000 Maybe it was Larry.

01:09:28.000 One of them sold, like, I don't know how many millions of dollars worth of stock.

01:09:32.000 They want to control what you think.

01:09:34.000 They need to rally people behind... This is why they got so triggered when I said I despise appeals to emotion.

01:09:40.000 Because I'm directly calling out what is very obvious propaganda.

01:09:44.000 Crying translators? 0.99

01:09:46.000 No, no, no.

01:09:46.000 Hold on there a minute, man.

01:09:47.000 The job of a translator is to translate.

01:09:50.000 Why would you hire someone or keep someone on the job if they're crying?

01:09:53.000 You'd be like, like I said before, you'd be like, oh no, he's crying.

01:09:57.000 Let's get him into the break room and have some coffee and take a breath and get someone else in there who can do their job, you know, because it's manipulation.

01:10:03.000 To follow up with what you said, Seamus, like we don't really need an office of censorship.

01:10:06.000 They closed the office of censorship in 1945 when the war ended, but basically then they started the liberal economic order within like eight months.

01:10:13.000 And I think they just winded in all that censorship ability into this new spy network of five

01:10:19.000 eyes or, you know, of a global military industrial complex.

01:10:22.000 I mean, it's interesting because for a long time you had what was it, the three and then

01:10:27.000 the five major networks that everyone got all of their information from.

01:10:31.000 And that was wonderful for them because it was very easy to control what people were

01:10:34.000 seeing and hearing.

01:10:35.000 And then the internet popped up and now it seemed as if there was a threat.

01:10:38.000 People could get their information from everywhere.

01:10:40.000 But fortunately for them and unfortunately for us, a lot of that power has been consolidated

01:10:45.000 and we're not quite back in the same position, but in some ways we're getting there.

01:10:49.000 I'm optimistic on some level that we won't quite be able to get back to that, but at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter if people are too scared to speak the truth, and most seem to be.

01:10:59.000 Yeah, self-censorship is as effective as forceful censorship in a way.

01:11:04.000 Well, it's interesting.

01:11:05.000 There have been studies which have suggested that people are better capable or would prefer to endure physical pain over social rejection.

01:11:14.000 Wow.

01:11:15.000 Yeah.

01:11:16.000 And it's psychological suffering.

01:11:18.000 Well, I know psychological suffering in general.

01:11:20.000 And so if people feel as if they are being rejected by the group, Or they fear being rejected by the group for stating something.

01:11:31.000 They're going to be very likely to keep quiet in the same way that they'd be likely to keep quiet if they thought someone would physically aggress upon them for speaking out.

01:11:37.000 So this is what the Stasi got into.

01:11:39.000 You watch The Lives of Others, one of the greatest movies on communist surveillance systems and the programs that they had, people informing each other in East Germany.

01:11:51.000 So that was the 1960s.

01:11:53.000 By the 1970s, 1980s, the Stasi wasn't running these massive surveillance programs anymore, and they weren't running these massive incarceration programs the way they do it depicted in that film.

01:12:03.000 What they ended up doing was they realized that if you were a dissident, if you were someone who was a troublemaker, they had a problem with you.

01:12:09.000 It's exactly what Shane was just laying out.

01:12:11.000 First thing they would do is start to ostracize you and then they would start to shame you.

01:12:14.000 They would smear you in the media, they would drag your name through the mud, they would essentially blacklist you, and they would make it so that the social shame upon everyone else of even associating with you would be enough to destroy you.

01:12:27.000 And it was actually much cheaper and far more effective than throwing you in prison and making a potential martyr of you.

01:12:35.000 I wonder about this.

01:12:36.000 How is a show like this possible?

01:12:40.000 We're literally saying that.

01:12:42.000 Partly because it's a group of us.

01:12:44.000 Winging a prayer.

01:12:45.000 Haven't you had the SWAT team come like five times?

01:12:49.000 I mean, so how is it possible?

01:12:51.000 It is possible for now, but look at the forces trying to shut it down.

01:12:56.000 I still feel like we're in the prelude.

01:12:58.000 Yeah, I think a lot of it has to do with a large enough group of people communicating these ideas makes it hard to stop the idea.

01:13:05.000 If it's one person alone in their room on a webcam, then you know, you get swatted.

01:13:09.000 You gotta get up and go answer the door.

01:13:11.000 That's why when I see censorship, I do speak out against it, even if it's someone I don't particularly agree with or don't particularly like or support.

01:13:19.000 The idea that one person or one entity just has this ability to blanket wipe out all communications, right? 0.95

01:13:26.000 That's actually a much bigger issue than some idiot on a podcast that I don't listen to. 0.94

01:13:32.000 Yeah, the vulnerability of our system isn't talked about enough. 0.98

01:13:35.000 From comet strikes to floods to earthquakes to volcanic super eruptions to just a power outage from a solar flare.

01:13:45.000 For example, you're seeing these stories that Google and Apple Pay are shut down in Russia.

01:13:49.000 And so suddenly, because they went cashless, now people are saying, wait, how do I get on the subway?

01:13:54.000 How do I pay for things in stores?

01:13:56.000 How do I do this?

01:13:57.000 And so we've outsourced all, you know, if you're signed up for all these things, now you're outsourcing your very ability to function in society to Silicon Valley.

01:14:06.000 So that gives them that.

01:14:08.000 I mean, this is, we're talking about sovereign power.

01:14:11.000 We can never go cashless.

01:14:14.000 We can never go cashless.

01:14:16.000 We can never go.

01:14:16.000 I mean, that has to be within our DNA as, as like a fight to the death.

01:14:20.000 We can never be a cashless society.

01:14:22.000 So you think we need some sort of federal power that gains that currency valuable?

01:14:27.000 I think you need a physical, not necessarily cash, but I think we have to have a system that you can have a physical commodity that I can hide under my bed.

01:14:34.000 Because if Jack doesn't like me, and he's able to call the guys who own Apple Pay and say, shut down his account, if I can't go to the grocery store, if I can't buy things, if my credit, quote-unquote, is stuck in my phone, and my phone is useless because Jack doesn't like me, That I'm a powerless, I have no agency left.

01:14:52.000 You're lucky I like you.

01:14:53.000 You're lucky.

01:14:54.000 I want to add a caveat to something I said earlier.

01:14:56.000 I wanted to pull up information about what I referenced.

01:15:00.000 What I was referencing, it's not a study about social rejection versus physical pain.

01:15:03.000 There's two articles I'm looking at here.

01:15:06.000 But basically the idea is that they have shown that we process social pain in the same part of the brain that we process physical pain with and there's also a very interesting

01:15:18.000 perspective from Psychology and psychologists. I I'm not sure if it's the

01:15:22.000 consensus or not But basically that

01:15:24.000 Emotional pain is in many ways worse than physical pain because it can be triggered by memories in a way that

01:15:28.000 physical pain cannot so for example

01:15:31.000 I can remember something from the past that hurt me or was difficult for me and

01:15:33.000 The emotional trauma of that can sort of return whereas if I remember a physical injury

01:15:38.000 I'm not going to literally feel that physical pain in quite the same way

01:15:41.000 Wow.

01:15:41.000 Yeah, emotional pain can make you, like, adopt a posture, which can then bring on a certain sort of tension leading to injury.

01:15:48.000 Unless you dream it.

01:15:49.000 Have you ever dreamed, had a dream where you have physical pain and you wake up and like something hurts?

01:15:53.000 I do this to me all the time.

01:15:54.000 Interesting.

01:15:55.000 Yeah, all the time.

01:15:56.000 If you're ever in a dream and you want to get out, close your eyes really tight till they hurt.

01:15:59.000 And then when you open them, you'll be awake.

01:16:01.000 Getting some, so I found an account that has some backstory on how this nuclear power plant situation started.

01:16:08.000 So apparently they're saying that, and again, caveat, caveat, caveat, right?

01:16:13.000 Fog of war, fog of war, granite salt, blah, blah, blah.

01:16:15.000 that they're saying that the Russians rolled up and demanded that the power plant surrender and that the

01:16:20.000 defenders of the plant surrender.

01:16:22.000 They said, we have overwhelming force. You should surrender.

01:16:25.000 You should stand down so that we can take over this plant and do so peacefully.

01:16:29.000 The defenders refused. And that's when the firefight started.

01:16:32.000 Wow. So those were Russian soldiers on the ground.

01:16:34.000 So it was Russian soldiers on the ground, and it looked like there were defenders.

01:16:37.000 And if you look at that clip that a few people have pulled out of that livestream, it looks like you can actually see tracer fire rounds being fired from the roof at the Russian artillery.

01:16:48.000 Okay.

01:16:49.000 And then, so was there incoming artillery?

01:16:51.000 Well, the artillery's on the ground.

01:16:53.000 Right next to the power plant?

01:16:56.000 Yes.

01:16:56.000 Oh, are they firing that artillery at the power plant across the street?

01:16:59.000 Well, at the defenders.

01:17:01.000 Wow, that close range?

01:17:02.000 Yes.

01:17:02.000 Wow.

01:17:03.000 That's insane.

01:17:04.000 Yeah, that's what you're seeing in the video.

01:17:05.000 Okay.

01:17:06.000 I thought stuff was coming from out, and then I thought I saw missiles flying outward from there, but that wasn't what I was looking at.

01:17:11.000 No, those are just shells.

01:17:12.000 Okay.

01:17:13.000 So we actually just watched a battle take place in real time.

01:17:16.000 Yes, we did.

01:17:16.000 That's kind of amazing.

01:17:17.000 Yes, we actually did.

01:17:18.000 A modern siege even.

01:17:19.000 I remember a couple modern feats of social media.

01:17:23.000 The first was when the Al-Qassam Brigades in Palestine were firing rockets into Israel and the IDF and the Al-Qassam Brigades were tweeting at each other in a flame war during a hot war.

01:17:34.000 And a lot of people were actually laughing because it was like, You know, Al-Qassam was like, we will wipe you out, and the IDF was like, try it, we'll stop you, and I'm like, they're tweeting at each other.

01:17:43.000 But then there was, in the Middle East, we got video, a GoPro attached to a tank.

01:17:53.000 And the soldiers who were shooting back at it or being fired upon were also, they also had GoPros.

01:17:58.000 And so the footage made it to the internet where researchers were able to find both perspectives and put it in a single video where you could see both sides of a conflict online.

01:18:07.000 Crazy stuff.

01:18:08.000 Yeah.

01:18:08.000 Could you hear both the voices of the people from either side?

01:18:11.000 You couldn't hear anything from the tank because the camera's outside and the people are inside, but you could hear the people on their Well, have you seen the Chechens and the Azov leaders are now sending are cutting videos about each other about talking about essentially how they're gearing up for this massive fight in Mariupol?

01:18:26.000 Wow.

01:18:27.000 And so that those are your kind of your considered your most brutal fighters on either side.

01:18:30.000 I mean, and for Azov, I mean, you can find very quickly, videos of Azov committing beheadings, committing crucifixions of ethnic Russians.

01:18:38.000 Chechens, I think, goes without saying, extremely, extremely brutal. 1.00

01:18:42.000 Or if you know anything about the Battle of Grozny or the Chechen Wars.

01:18:45.000 And so the leaders of Kartarov, who is the leader of the Chechens, is now coming in. 0.96

01:18:50.000 He's pro-Putin, fighting for the Russians, going in, specifically targeting that Azov battalion.

01:18:57.000 And some of the messages I was getting from a contact that I have that's active duty right now, was that they were, you know, possibly trying to get Azov to at least surrender.

01:19:07.000 And they were saying, hey, if you we just want the city, we don't need we don't need to kill all of you just leave and we'll let you go out to the West.

01:19:13.000 Well, you can go to Lviv, we won't even, you know, we will let you surrender and just just evacuate.

01:19:17.000 And of course, Azov was saying no.

01:19:19.000 We saw a video, Azov, a member of the battalion, dipping bullets in pig's lard.

01:19:23.000 Right. 0.90

01:19:24.000 And then saying we're going to get the... because a lot of Chechens are Muslim.

01:19:26.000 And that's also very concerning because it brings... Habib! 1.00

01:19:30.000 ...religion into it, which... From UFC.

01:19:32.000 Habib, the greatest... He's like a governor.

01:19:35.000 Isn't he a mayor or something?

01:19:36.000 No, I'm thinking of a... You're thinking of the two brothers, right?

01:19:39.000 Yeah, there's an MMA fighter that's like a mayor of a city in Russia right now.

01:19:43.000 Russia? 0.61

01:19:44.000 Klitschko?

01:19:45.000 That's Ukraine.

01:19:47.000 And they're boxers.

01:19:51.000 I got a third right.

01:19:52.000 Thanks.

01:19:54.000 They're fighters of some sort and they're somewhere over there.

01:19:56.000 You should write speeches for Joe Biden.

01:19:59.000 These are the facts.

01:20:01.000 The brave Uranian people.

01:20:03.000 That was hilarious.

01:20:05.000 The Iranian people.

01:20:06.000 The Iranian people.

01:20:07.000 By the way, I noticed you guys mentioned, called it a State of the Union.

01:20:10.000 I can't, in good faith.

01:20:11.000 It's a campaign speech.

01:20:13.000 At the end, he did say the State of the Union was strong, and it's strong because the people are strong.

01:20:16.000 Strong!

01:20:17.000 Technically, you could argue it was a State of the Union because at the very end... You notice, nobody's actually, nobody's even questioning why Putin is doing this now.

01:20:24.000 Have you noticed that?

01:20:24.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:20:25.000 Everyone kind of gets it.

01:20:26.000 It's so true. 0.84

01:20:27.000 That narrative isn't even, the narrative is, okay, you can ask why is he doing this, right?

01:20:31.000 And I think there's a lot of Clearly a huge debate on that, and he's not been very clear about it.

01:20:36.000 In some ways, you know, he has his stated purposes, but we think there's probably some more than that.

01:20:40.000 But nobody's asking why now.

01:20:41.000 Everybody kind of gets that, yeah, this is the time.

01:20:43.000 Well, he actually, so what happened was Biden pulled him aside and really intimidated him and made it very clear that there would be repercussions if he tried to take the hearts and minds of the Iranian people.

01:20:54.000 So Putin said, all right, I won't.

01:20:56.000 Did he whisper into your ear?

01:20:57.000 He whispered, come on man, don't do it.

01:20:59.000 I want to mention this too, Ian, your point about it being more of like a campaign speech, I completely agree, which is why we just released a cartoon about this today for Freedom Tunes.

01:21:09.000 If you guys want to check that out, I just want to plug that because that's very much along those lines.

01:21:15.000 When he said he was going to help cure, what did he say, he was going to cure cancer?

01:21:18.000 He said we're going to end cancer as we know it.

01:21:21.000 What are you talking about?

01:21:23.000 As we know it.

01:21:24.000 They're gonna change definitions.

01:21:27.000 He's gonna do gain-of-function research.

01:21:29.000 He's gonna change the definition of the word.

01:21:31.000 He's like, so I fulfilled my promise, called up Merriam-Webster and said, you know, put another word in there and now it's different as we know it.

01:21:39.000 Different word.

01:21:40.000 He was talking about astrology cancer.

01:21:45.000 He was talking about these people, oh man, I just can't stand the cancer. 1.00

01:21:50.000 When I think people who hate Trump, and there's people who dislike him, I think when they would hear Trump tell a story, I can imagine what their reaction was, like this guy, he's so full of himself, he's such an idiot, blah blah blah. 1.00

01:22:01.000 When Biden told that story, I looked at Putin and I said, I don't think you have a soul. 1.00

01:22:06.000 And he looked at me and said, we understand each other.

01:22:10.000 Did anyone believe that that actually happened? 1.00

01:22:14.000 So Trump tells a story, and they're over the top, and they're silly. 0.72

01:22:17.000 Biden tells a story, and even his supporters are like, yeah, dude, that didn't happen. 0.98

01:22:21.000 Putin was a bad dude.

01:22:23.000 Putin was asked about that.

01:22:24.000 I said, hey, Esther.

01:22:26.000 I said, hey, Putin, get off the diving board, or I'll come and drag you off.

01:22:29.000 In an NBC interview with Putin, they asked him about that, and he was like, I don't remember.

01:22:33.000 It was a diplomacy thing, so he insulted me like that.

01:22:35.000 I don't know why he did that.

01:22:38.000 That's just like a weird thing to say.

01:22:39.000 Joe Biden's like, Vladimir Putin was banging the razor blade on the curb.

01:22:43.000 Get it rusty.

01:22:43.000 Put it in a barrel.

01:22:44.000 Bang this nuclear weapon on the curb. 0.99

01:22:46.000 Get it rusty. 0.98

01:22:47.000 Put it in a barrel.

01:22:47.000 We'll also like call them Esther Williams or something.

01:22:53.000 I just, I find it hilarious that with Trump, Trump is like, if you touch the Ukraine, I will nuke Moscow.

01:23:01.000 Like a very real concrete threat. 0.84

01:23:03.000 And Biden's like, You don't have a soul, man.

01:23:11.000 What does this mean?

01:23:13.000 Joe Biden thinks I have no soul.

01:23:15.000 Let's take Ukraine now.

01:23:17.000 Oh no, Joe Biden will not like me if I do this.

01:23:20.000 Putin's like, I've never had a soul.

01:23:22.000 I'm glad you recognize that. 0.95

01:23:24.000 Putin, like Biden says that, you ain't got a soul, man.

01:23:27.000 Then he walks away and Putin, confused, looks over to like Sergey Lavrov and says, he says, I have no soul.

01:23:33.000 And he goes, yes.

01:23:34.000 Let's take Ukraine.

01:23:35.000 No, exactly.

01:23:36.000 Do you, but do you, do you like, what an unbelievably insane thing for him to ever, even if he did say that, do you think that, um, do you think that somebody on the international stage wants their enemy to think they have a soul?

01:23:48.000 Do you want to be seen as a bleeding heart type?

01:23:50.000 No.

01:23:51.000 I mean, Biden does.

01:23:52.000 Yeah, exactly. 0.98

01:23:53.000 It's just so ridiculous. 0.86

01:23:54.000 It's like, oh, this is so bad for public relations. 0.94

01:23:58.000 People will think I am not nice guy.

01:24:00.000 This would make a good four panel comic.

01:24:02.000 Which actually would be the downfall of Putin inside Russia.

01:24:05.000 If people didn't think he was a nice guy.

01:24:06.000 This would make a good four panel comic.

01:24:07.000 If everybody was a nice guy.

01:24:08.000 A good four panel comic would be like Trump saying, I'll nuke Moscow and Putin looking to Lavrov and being like, let's hold back for a minute.

01:24:16.000 Then Biden saying you have no soul and he'll be like, okay, we're good.

01:24:18.000 No, it's only like Trump gives a direct threat of violence and Biden's like, you're mean, man.

01:24:23.000 Don't attack me in my vulnerable spots, which are here, here and here.

01:24:26.000 He's like, hey man, it'd be really mean if you did this.

01:24:29.000 Biden actually did that.

01:24:30.000 He's like, you ain't got a soul, man.

01:24:32.000 So I'm going to show you a list of all the places you better not attack.

01:24:35.000 There you go.

01:24:35.000 Just that one's most important.

01:24:37.000 I trust you.

01:24:38.000 That's crazy.

01:24:40.000 It's a fundamental risk misreading of this, you know, and you can dig into some of the philosophical aspects of this where, you know, when you look at the United States in, in many ways, at least in terms of how our regime is positioned, you know, we are, it's, it's Athens and Sparta, right?

01:24:55.000 So we are the sea power, you know, we want commerce, we want trade, we want these sort of globalized rules.

01:25:00.000 We want to be able to do business with the rest of the world.

01:25:03.000 Whereas Russia. 0.89

01:25:05.000 Predominantly is a land power.

01:25:06.000 They are a land based power.

01:25:07.000 We were just talking earlier about how they have so many issues for them to be able to, uh, get to see.

01:25:11.000 So they have that, that mindset of strength over everything, um, power over everything might makes right.

01:25:19.000 Um, and it does have a deeper sense of cultural traditionalism, whereas in the U S it is this more, you know, sort of progress, you know, small P progressivism of this enlightened, Oh, we can always be better.

01:25:32.000 We can rise above.

01:25:34.000 Right.

01:25:34.000 These are two very, these are two ideas that are in not only philosophical contention, but spiritual contention as well.

01:25:42.000 And I think if we fail to understand that, we are completely misreading the situation.

01:25:46.000 Not only, and Bill Roggio had a great article about how we've completely misread Russia's strategy in the war.

01:25:51.000 I think that's obvious, but at this point, right, Russia isn't losing just because they didn't take Kiev in the first 24 hours.

01:25:56.000 But I think we completely misread the way Russian leaders are, even just even the way that they think.

01:26:01.000 So if you can't understand how or appreciate how your adversary thinks, how can you ever attempt to get ahead of their decision cycle, get inside their OODA loops, or even predict their future moves?

01:26:11.000 It's so true. 0.84

01:26:12.000 Lawrence Southern made a great point about this yesterday when referring to China or two days ago.

01:26:16.000 We have no idea how the Chinese think, but they know exactly how we think, because they go to the UN and say the United States of America is racist and they don't care about black lives. 0.99

01:26:26.000 We know China doesn't care about minorities.

01:26:29.000 China, in order to sell the new Star Wars film in China, they had to reduce the size of a black actor on the poster.

01:26:37.000 They don't care.

01:26:38.000 I get messages from time to time from Chinese citizens that are like, CCP is not China.

01:26:42.000 So if you really want to understand Chinese, read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, or watch the movie and then read the book.

01:26:47.000 Yeah, but I think I know what you're saying, and I agree with you a hundred percent, but I would go even a little further.

01:26:52.000 Right now in America, it is not just like we have a small P progressivism. 0.99

01:26:58.000 It was not long ago that the American flag on a Nike sneaker caused uproars.

01:27:03.000 So not only do we have a progressivism, we are intentionally, led by this administration, quite frankly, or the progressive left, we are intentionally destroying the pillars of our foundation.

01:27:15.000 And the smallest things, and we've talked a lot about this on the show, the smallest things that unify us, like the national anthem, Well, you should be able to protest that.

01:27:23.000 And this little moment, well, that should be up for debate.

01:27:25.000 And George Washington, maybe we should change the name of the school.

01:27:29.000 So I think if you're Putin, and this is not, you know, shilling for him at all, don't get me wrong, but if you are him and his administration and Russian power, and you look at the West and say, they don't even respect their George Washington.

01:27:43.000 Why are we afraid of these people?

01:27:45.000 Right?

01:27:45.000 Like, we changed the name of Abraham Lincoln School in California.

01:27:49.000 Do you think maybe it's possible that Xi Jinping feels threatened by how introspective we are?

01:27:55.000 No doubt.

01:27:55.000 And how diverse our army is.

01:27:57.000 Yeah, that was it.

01:27:58.000 Wait till he sees our diversity training.

01:28:01.000 Exactly.

01:28:01.000 All of our soldiers are doing TikTok videos.

01:28:04.000 That's why Russia invaded. 0.93

01:28:06.000 Russia saw the threat of the West, diversity trainings, and he was sweating bullets and he was like, we have to invade now before it's too late. 0.76

01:28:14.000 Once they all learn about diversity, inclusivity, and equity, We're done.

01:28:17.000 What you're seeing is so we've we've become quite decadent in in this sort of 30 years since the fall of the Soviet Union, this idea of Fukuyama's, you know, end of history and everyone's going to adopt. 0.73

01:28:29.000 So instead of thinking that our values were Western or that they were derived from the Bible, that they're, you know, Greco Roman, Legal practice, European law, et cetera, principles, enlightenment, all of that.

01:28:41.000 No, no, no.

01:28:42.000 We decided that these were universal principles and that we could go on these nation building projects around the world and that we could impose our way of thinking on everyone because our way of thinking was natural.

01:28:52.000 And we don't even need all this history as you're describing to back it up that we've, you know, that we've advanced from or that we've developed from.

01:28:58.000 No, no, no, no, no.

01:28:59.000 These are just the universe of values.

01:29:02.000 And our job now is to proselytize the world and evangelicalize them To our way of thinking.

01:29:08.000 So the first place, of course, that we're going to try that is Afghanistan, right? 1.00

01:29:12.000 Because, you know, we're going to turn, you know, Kandahar into California.

01:29:16.000 And we never once sat back and thought, you know, maybe the rest of the world doesn't want those things.

01:29:21.000 Maybe they don't think that way.

01:29:23.000 And so that's why you're seeing now, instead of actually focusing on the things that would make our country strong, like energy, strong currency, we do need a strong U.S.

01:29:32.000 If the U.S.

01:29:32.000 dollar, by the way.

01:29:33.000 dollar falls off its perch, that's really going to be bad for a lot of Americans.

01:29:37.000 Because I think that a lot of the people out there that are living paycheck to paycheck, that don't have a lot of savings, you know, you always see those studies out there, and I'm sure it's much worse now about how many people have less than, you know, $5,000, $2,000 in their checking accounts.

01:29:50.000 What happens to them when that checking account becomes completely worthless overnight because the U.S.

01:29:55.000 dollar loses its World Reserve status?

01:29:57.000 They'll print like another $8 trillion and try and just give everyone $4,000 to get them to flow for two more months.

01:30:03.000 So you're seeing now a complete reworking of the world order and that's why even as horrific as these scenes are that are coming out of Ukraine, The long-term implications of this might actually be worse. 0.99

01:30:16.000 Yeah.

01:30:17.000 Because unipolarity is gone.

01:30:19.000 The international rules-based order is gone.

01:30:22.000 Multipolarity is returning. 0.65

01:30:24.000 That's going to be a huge problem for us.

01:30:26.000 Because remember, even, you know, we talk about the SWIFT system.

01:30:29.000 Okay, let's, you know, pull the nuclear plan and kick Russia off the SWIFT system. 0.98

01:30:33.000 Well, the SWIFT system only works because it's backed by the U.S.

01:30:36.000 dollar.

01:30:37.000 If Russia is already planning to get off the dollar, then they don't need it.

01:30:41.000 Well, isn't it interesting how we like to play philanthropist and act like we are exporting Western values around the world and helping people live better lives because we care about the downtrodden, when in many circumstances it's either militaristic intervention or economic bullying to force our way of life onto other people, even in countries where they're not ready for it.

01:31:02.000 Or, ready for it is the wrong term, because some of the things that we try to import into these countries aren't things people should ever be ready for.

01:31:08.000 I find it fascinating, and I don't think it's a coincidence, that the intellectual founders of neoconservatism were former Marxists.

01:31:16.000 And look at the neoconservative mission.

01:31:18.000 Look at what we tried to do in Afghanistan.

01:31:20.000 Oh, we're going to completely and fundamentally restructure a culture at the barrel of a gun.

01:31:26.000 And this country, this entire nation, With a history that we don't even care to understand is going to bow before the order we have determined is the culmination of history, which is how they conceptualize democracy now instead of Marxism as neoconservatives, because we ordered them to at the barrel of a gun and were able to restructure their thinking.

01:31:47.000 It's crazy, dude.

01:31:48.000 I watched... I was looking at a picture of the bath party, Saddam Hussein's bath party, and you just see these young frat boys.

01:31:56.000 It's too long of a conversation to go into now.

01:31:57.000 Check it out, though.

01:31:58.000 Saddam Hussein bath party image, and you see Saddam as a young, rambunctious youth. 0.98

01:32:02.000 That guy was a nut.

01:32:03.000 Well, the thing that I find bizarre about this whole conversation from the 30,000-foot level, especially, are we invading, do we not invade, what is the role of NATO, etc., etc., it was not very long ago that, like, a million and a half Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda slaughtered each other with a machete, and the West just sat there and watched it and said, wow, that's bad. 0.90

01:32:23.000 I mean, like, literally over a million five hundred thousand, and the majority of them were hacked to death.

01:32:29.000 And we just sat there and were like... With Chinese machete.

01:32:32.000 That's bad.

01:32:33.000 But there was... So I don't understand... Should we intervene when there is evil happening?

01:32:39.000 As a philosophy, I understand that position.

01:32:41.000 But we're ready to jump into the Ukraine, but no one wanted to go to Rwanda. 0.88

01:32:45.000 So what's the difference?

01:32:47.000 We're gonna go to Super Chats.

01:32:48.000 If you haven't already, smash that like button, nuke the like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show if you really like it, and head over to TimCast.com.

01:32:55.000 Become a member because we're gonna have a members-only segment up around 11 or so p.m.

01:33:00.000 where we go into more details on conflict, crisis, and other stories.

01:33:03.000 So this is where we're gonna be a bit more crass, and it's the uncensored show.

01:33:08.000 Let's read some of these Super Chats. 1.00

01:33:09.000 We have this from Scarlet.

01:33:12.000 Scarlett, wait, no Scarlett to Joe Nancy. Okay.

01:33:12.000 Yeah, don't do that.

01:33:16.000 Tim, what advice do you have for me? I want to go undercover and report on the ground.

01:33:19.000 I know it's dangerous. What should I bring with me?

01:33:21.000 I have no advice for you other than don't go.

01:33:23.000 Yeah, don't do that.

01:33:24.000 Yeah, don't.

01:33:25.000 In order to enter conflict zones of this degree, you need a lot more experience.

01:33:30.000 So, um...

01:33:31.000 Have you seen the Reddit threads, by the way?

01:33:33.000 Of people like I'm going?

01:33:35.000 There's a whole subreddit of, I think it's Ukraine volunteers or something.

01:33:40.000 One guy was like, and I'm sure there's trolls in there, of course, but one guy was like, Hey, are you allowed to bring weed into Ukraine?

01:33:46.000 Cause I have this bong that I got, but I don't want to break it.

01:33:49.000 It's got residue in it.

01:33:51.000 These stories.

01:33:52.000 Maybe those people should go.

01:33:55.000 Basically like this, if you have to ask a question on the internet to somebody else about whether or not I should go, don't go.

01:34:04.000 Or join the military.

01:34:05.000 I don't know, from your advice, if someone's questioning joining the military.

01:34:09.000 If you want to go and do something good right now and you don't have that training, go to Poland right now, help out with the refugees.

01:34:09.000 Go help refugees.

01:34:16.000 Send money to the charities that are then the NGOs that are stream be there.

01:34:19.000 There's a lot of people or join focus groups You know scarlet Joe says go undercover the That sounds like a death.

01:34:30.000 Please don't try to go undercover.

01:34:31.000 Yeah, because no just do not do that undercover is if you are not easily identifiable You look like an enemy combatant.

01:34:39.000 Yeah.

01:34:39.000 Or a spy.

01:34:40.000 A spy or a risk, especially someone not from Ukraine. 0.99

01:34:44.000 If you're walking around, they need only do one thing.

01:34:47.000 A guy in a military suit will shout out a sentence in Russian or Ukrainian.

01:34:51.000 And when you go, uh, spy, that's it right there.

01:34:55.000 So I had this happen when I was in Ukraine.

01:34:57.000 Oh, I love this too.

01:34:58.000 The young Turks were like smack talking me because they just love talking about me.

01:35:01.000 You live rent-free up there, buddy.

01:35:03.000 I mean, with real estate prices right now, you can't beat that.

01:35:06.000 I appreciate the PR they give me, but I love the commenters.

01:35:09.000 What do you mean, PR?

01:35:10.000 Their channel's so much... I mean, how many views did they get?

01:35:12.000 Okay, that's what they're doing.

01:35:12.000 50,000 views.

01:35:12.000 Trillions.

01:35:13.000 They're doing better than me.

01:35:14.000 I put my name in people's minds.

01:35:15.000 And people were commenting like, I'd love to see what Tim would do if he was in Ukraine.

01:35:21.000 I was like, I was there when this was starting in 2014, when they were ousting Yanukovych.

01:35:25.000 Were you there as it happened?

01:35:26.000 I was not there as they ousted Yanukovych.

01:35:28.000 I had left just before that.

01:35:29.000 But I was there as they were building the barricades and the Soviet, there's a Soviet general who came in and like, he was in a tent.

01:35:29.000 Wow.

01:35:36.000 It was cool to talk to the guy.

01:35:37.000 I didn't speak Ukrainian or Russian, but we had a translator.

01:35:40.000 And simply walking in, I got surrounded by a bunch of Ukrainians yelling at me and the guys working with me. 0.96

01:35:46.000 And I was just like, American journalist.

01:35:49.000 And then someone came and intervened and started speaking to them in Ukrainian.

01:35:52.000 And then they made the way and let us in.

01:35:53.000 Oh my goodness.

01:35:53.000 They liked journalists.

01:35:55.000 What is under beanie?

01:35:56.000 Show us what is under beanie.

01:35:58.000 Understand this.

01:35:58.000 Never.

01:35:59.000 The Maidan protests, they called it Euromaidan, they were very pro-West.

01:36:03.000 So when they heard American journalists was there, they were like, this is what we need to get support from the West.

01:36:08.000 We need Americans here.

01:36:09.000 And so they were like, oh, oh, oh, this is exciting.

01:36:12.000 But it was ridiculously dangerous.

01:36:13.000 There was sniper fire, people were getting shot.

01:36:16.000 I was not there for that.

01:36:18.000 I had left, I had come back, and I was fortunately not there when it got really bad with the Molotovs. 0.99

01:36:24.000 But I got to go and witness the collapsed Lenin statue.

01:36:29.000 People had like taken fragments of the statue.

01:36:31.000 They took his head and his hand.

01:36:34.000 I got to go into a Ukrainian government building that had been totally seized and occupied and ransacked.

01:36:39.000 By the way, the only coup that was worse than that, of course, was January 6th.

01:36:45.000 Yes, but I want to stress this point.

01:36:51.000 By the time I had left and had devolved into full-scale urban conflict, I was not there.

01:36:58.000 I am not a war reporter.

01:36:58.000 Why?

01:37:01.000 I do civil and urban conflict, which means up until that point, I was like, that's my limit.

01:37:07.000 I've been on the ground in numerous countries.

01:37:09.000 I rode in the back of this truck in Thailand during the Yellow Shirt, you know, Red Shirt Monarchist and Parliamentarian protests and there were bloodstains on the ground because someone in a motorcycle drove by and threw a grenade into it.

01:37:22.000 We got in it after they scrubbed it clean, and then we rode down the street wearing body armor and helmets like, these are the vehicles that get attacked.

01:37:29.000 That was the extent to my capabilities in a conflict zone.

01:37:33.000 When it comes to what's happening now in Ukraine, I don't have the experience, the skill, nor the courage to be in a firefight.

01:37:39.000 Which, and by the way, if you're thinking, I mean, I shouldn't even say this, but if you're thinking, I'm going to go by myself, right?

01:37:47.000 You're already right.

01:37:47.000 Right.

01:37:48.000 Just, Anne Hall, you're already wrong, right?

01:37:48.000 Yeah.

01:37:50.000 You are not going to be going.

01:37:52.000 You're, and not only that, by the way, you're not going to be a help to yourself or others.

01:37:55.000 You're going to be a detriment to others.

01:37:57.000 You're going to be a detriment to people you're trying to help. 0.99

01:37:59.000 You're going to be a hindrance and you are going to get probably yourself killed.

01:38:02.000 And a lot of other people killed if they're trying to save you. 0.92

01:38:05.000 Know your limits, man.

01:38:06.000 I'm just going to say this.

01:38:13.000 Telling people to go and throw Molotov cocktails and run up in civilian clothes against a professional military with mechanized armored vehicles with 14 millimeter, 30 millimeter cannons, right?

01:38:28.000 We've, you've seen the videos, right?

01:38:30.000 I'm sure we've all seen the videos now where the, the entire tree, people tried to hide

01:38:33.000 behind trees because I thought this was like a Marvel movie or something and that the trees

01:38:38.000 would protect you from cannon fire.

01:38:40.000 No, it's not going to work.

01:38:42.000 Everyone was killed, right?

01:38:43.000 Just understand where you are.

01:38:44.000 There's a reason why I don't know about that, but there's a reason why I stayed only in

01:38:51.000 Ukraine for so long before leaving.

01:38:53.000 There's a reason why I can do what some people criticize as parachute journalism to an extent.

01:38:58.000 When it came to the high-level warfare, The journalists that go in after me speak five languages.

01:39:05.000 They're fluent in Russian, they're fluent in Polish, they're fluent in Ukrainian, and several other romance languages as well.

01:39:12.000 So they go on the ground and they can communicate with anyone who approaches them.

01:39:16.000 And that keeps them alive.

01:39:18.000 They probably already have a network established, right?

01:39:20.000 I mean, they had plans for this and they have safe houses.

01:39:23.000 These are people, so the journalists that, you know, eventually they go in that I remain in communication with as I leave.

01:39:28.000 These are people who have already lived in the region.

01:39:30.000 They've lived there for two or three years, or they're from there.

01:39:34.000 When you see a reporter on the ground, there are corporate... I don't like these kinds of journalists that have big security crews.

01:39:42.000 They go into secured zones and then just talk to the camera.

01:39:45.000 It's fine.

01:39:46.000 Okay, that's not what I'm referring to, but actual war correspondents.

01:39:49.000 When I went to Thailand, I was sent with a guy who lived in Thailand for five years and who spoke Thai.

01:39:53.000 They were like, it's, you know, we're in this lull period where we can have you go in and produce an English-speaking, like, experience of what's going on.

01:40:01.000 If it gets too hot, you come back out.

01:40:03.000 We keep our crews on the ground who are war correspondents trained with high-powered rifles, with body armor, military tactics.

01:40:11.000 A lot of the journalists that go on the ground in these situations are former military as well.

01:40:14.000 People need to understand that it's not... These people on Reddit who are like, we're going!

01:40:18.000 It's like, that...

01:40:20.000 After Vietnam, has there been any legit war correspondence from the United States Press Corps?

01:40:20.000 I don't know, man.

01:40:26.000 Like, you put the body cameras on troops and you want to show the reality of what they're going through.

01:40:30.000 I mean, you had people in the Iraq War, in Syria, in Afghanistan.

01:40:36.000 You certainly had people.

01:40:37.000 I remember they were just riding on tanks through the desert.

01:40:39.000 Michael Hastings.

01:40:41.000 Let's read some more Super Chats, though. 0.65

01:40:42.000 We've got, uh, MJ says, I work in nuclear.

01:40:44.000 As long as they don't hit the reactor, uh, building, coolant supply pumps, or the off-site power lines, they will be able to stabilize the reactors with no risk of meltdown.

01:40:52.000 Well, there you go.

01:40:53.000 We got, let's see, it says, Dan Brockman says, Tim, the collision of COV ammo in that pig lard video is far more likely, uh, it's far more likely it's 5, uh, 5.45 by 39, not 7.62 by 39. 0.97

01:41:03.000 Study the AK-74, you silly man. 0.97

01:41:04.000 Not seven six two by thirty nine study the ak-74 you silly man. Love y'all. I stand corrected 0.99

01:41:04.000 Love y'all. 0.99

01:41:09.000 You see you see the video Yeah.

01:41:12.000 Did you see what kind of ammo they were loading?

01:41:14.000 I can't believe you spread that fake news.

01:41:16.000 I didn't look.

01:41:16.000 I gotta be honest.

01:41:17.000 All I saw was what it looked like and I assumed it was 7.62.

01:41:19.000 Misinformation.

01:41:20.000 I mean, that is the predominant round that you're going to see in this 7.62 with AKs.

01:41:24.000 Yeah.

01:41:25.000 Right.

01:41:25.000 That's what I thought.

01:41:26.000 I thought they were using AKs, but he's at AK-74, so that uses the smaller round.

01:41:31.000 Uh, some variants of it do.

01:41:33.000 Yeah, man.

01:41:34.000 So, it's funny when I show people bullets.

01:41:36.000 I love showing people bullets, because you ask them which one's the weapon of war, and I'll show, like, I'll show a polymer-tipped .450 Bushmaster, which is huge, and then I'll show, like, a 9mm Luger or something, and then they're just like, oh, and they point to the big one every time.

01:41:49.000 But sometimes, some people are like, you're tricking me, it must be the small one, and I'm like, yeah, you know why?

01:41:53.000 You can carry more of them.

01:41:54.000 Like, hunters go out with, like, three, you know, three rounds of .450.

01:41:54.000 Right.

01:41:58.000 What if the deer is wearing Kevlar?

01:42:00.000 Who said that again?

01:42:02.000 Oh man.

01:42:03.000 Wait, who said that?

01:42:04.000 Biden.

01:42:04.000 Oh, good for him.

01:42:05.000 That's brilliant.

01:42:06.000 Well, then I'll call Jim Eagle and we'll go to the Field of Dreams and get $130 from Pat.

01:42:11.000 But don't forget Binger.

01:42:13.000 Explosive tipped holopoints for hunting.

01:42:17.000 All right.

01:42:19.000 Let's grab Super Chat here.

01:42:22.000 My contacts are getting all jerky.

01:42:23.000 It's getting hard for me to read.

01:42:25.000 Come on, man.

01:42:26.000 Clayton Johnston says, as someone who has worked a few outages at nuke plants, the transmission substation would be a main and likely the primary target in a power plant unless they are attempting to cause a meltdown.

01:42:38.000 Bad idea to fight there.

01:42:40.000 Unless they want to.

01:42:43.000 GBP says if the narrative that Putin wants the USSR back is true, it wouldn't make sense for him to attack the most valuable and volatile infrastructure, ruin the land, and then cause yourself further problems.

01:42:55.000 That's true, too, and that's why if you could win a war without firing a shot, propaganda and influence, you would.

01:43:02.000 My view on this is the West and Russia are already at war.

01:43:06.000 The West is playing a propaganda-influence war, and Russia's in a third-generational hot conflict.

01:43:13.000 So Russia clearly was losing.

01:43:15.000 They knew it.

01:43:16.000 They said, time for bolts.

01:43:18.000 The West is like, we're not going to go and fight, but they use every manipulative cyber tactic in the book to try and win.

01:43:25.000 And what happens?

01:43:26.000 The children of Russian politicians and oligarchs are begging for the war to end.

01:43:30.000 When you also see that the US is providing, and I don't think this comes as a surprise, but You know, I think it's been publicly acknowledged now.

01:43:38.000 I saw Zero Hedgehog, the article that the U.S.

01:43:40.000 is providing real-time intelligence to Kiev.

01:43:42.000 Wait, you said that these children want the war to end?

01:43:44.000 These are the hot models of Instagram?

01:43:46.000 The children of government officials in Russia.

01:43:49.000 That part I had missed earlier.

01:43:50.000 Okay.

01:43:51.000 I didn't know they were calling for it to end.

01:43:52.000 That's interesting.

01:43:53.000 Yeah, they were saying, we don't support this.

01:43:54.000 We don't want war, no war, all that stuff.

01:43:57.000 Jack pronounced it Kiev, I thought it was Keeve.

01:43:59.000 It got changed!

01:44:00.000 It used to be K-I-E-V, now it's K-I-Y-V, or K-Y-I-V?

01:44:04.000 I've only noted it as K-Y-I-V, but that's because... It's a Ukrainian spelling.

01:44:09.000 It used to be K-I-E-V, Kievan Rus.

01:44:13.000 So, it used to be, people used to say the Ukraine.

01:44:15.000 Well, it's neither because it's Cyrillic.

01:44:17.000 Yeah, that's true.

01:44:17.000 People used to say the Ukraine, but it's just Ukraine.

01:44:20.000 No, it's Ukraine, which means the borderland.

01:44:22.000 Yeah, I catch myself saying the Ukraine a lot, and I'm wondering where I got that.

01:44:26.000 Well, Ukrania, so the root of that is granitsa, which means border.

01:44:31.000 So, Ukrania is at the border.

01:44:33.000 Or, you know, interpreted would be the borderland.

01:44:36.000 So, if you're speaking in Ukrainian or Russian or Polish, you're saying the borderland.

01:44:41.000 But go to Ukraine and say the Ukraine and see their reaction.

01:44:45.000 No, they just correct you because it's like, no, we're not the, we're just Ukraine as a country.

01:44:49.000 Say Ukraine did this. 0.68

01:44:50.000 Not the Ukraine did this.

01:44:52.000 The Netherlands or The Hague.

01:44:53.000 There's a couple of the's.

01:44:54.000 The Bronx.

01:44:55.000 The United States.

01:44:57.000 Yeah, so it's like these United States.

01:45:00.000 I don't think there's any England.

01:45:01.000 I don't think there was any, um, you know, any negative connotation by calling it the Ukraine.

01:45:08.000 It was just sort of, it's racist.

01:45:10.000 It's just racist.

01:45:11.000 The idea was they're all the same race. 0.88

01:45:12.000 What I was told by people is that I am Slavic.

01:45:13.000 So I can say it.

01:45:17.000 Listen and learn, it's racist.

01:45:18.000 What I was told by people in Ukraine was that by calling it the Ukraine, you are saying the people who live on the border as opposed to their national identity of Ukrainians.

01:45:27.000 So saying Ukraine does this, you're saying their name is a proper noun as a people when you're saying, you're basically like saying like the hill people when you say like the Ukraine, you know what I mean?

01:45:37.000 Like, oh, the people in the outskirts.

01:45:39.000 So it's not a national identity.

01:45:40.000 So they were like, that's what I was told.

01:45:42.000 All right, this is a good one.

01:45:43.000 We got OMG Puppies says, Canadian journalist last night was interviewing an Azov guy in Kiev.

01:45:48.000 He dropped the n-word at one point, and they freaked out, afraid for their livestream.

01:45:53.000 As they should be.

01:45:54.000 That's hate speech.

01:45:55.000 It's worth getting a hold of that video.

01:45:57.000 So who was a Canadian journalist?

01:46:02.000 I saw somebody saying, because I looked for it and I couldn't find it, but somebody was even saying that the Azov you could find like on eBay and Amazon, like Azov shirts and stuff.

01:46:11.000 I don't think people realize it's a neo-Nazi.

01:46:13.000 I saw the tweet, but then I went and checked it and I couldn't find it myself.

01:46:17.000 How many people you think understand it's a neo-Nazi group?

01:46:21.000 I think a lot of people do know.

01:46:22.000 But I think it's important to say that there, it's like Lauren said, there's components of it that are Nazis.

01:46:30.000 Is it more correct to say that that way?

01:46:32.000 Like some people have super chatted saying, saying the Azov battalion is a Nazi group is missing the nuance of components of the Azov battalion are Nazis.

01:46:41.000 Well, there's many battalions as well.

01:46:43.000 Right.

01:46:44.000 And so and there's one overall, you know, oligarch, Ihor Kolomoisky, who's funded them and funded a lot of politicians in Ukraine, as well as media outlets.

01:46:54.000 And that's really been bankrolling a lot of this stuff.

01:46:57.000 So yeah, I mean, again, you know, to say Russia is controlled by the oligarchs, it is and then Putin on top of that, but Ukraine has just as many oligarchs as Russia does, you know, proportionally.

01:47:07.000 Justin Wooten says, are you suggesting anchor kittens is the funniest thing I've ever heard.

01:47:12.000 Let Poso roll the hundred-sided die.

01:47:14.000 Alright, let's do it.

01:47:15.000 Let's do it.

01:47:16.000 Here we go.

01:47:17.000 Rolling it up.

01:47:18.000 Should I do this on camera?

01:47:19.000 It's gonna roll very far though.

01:47:21.000 It's like a ball.

01:47:25.000 There it goes.

01:47:26.000 That's a big ball.

01:47:27.000 Ian, rolling, rolling.

01:47:30.000 Lydia, keep him honest.

01:47:31.000 Keep him honest.

01:47:33.000 Oh, it's turning around.

01:47:33.000 It's turning.

01:47:34.000 It's coming back to me.

01:47:35.000 Whoa.

01:47:37.000 That was a powerful roll.

01:47:38.000 That was a Michael over.

01:47:39.000 44.

01:47:39.000 He rolled a 44.

01:47:39.000 We have a 22, a 55, a 99.

01:47:40.000 So 44 in China, that would be because the word four is associated with death.

01:47:42.000 So 44 in China that would be because the word for is associated with death. So that's double death. Oh

01:47:48.000 Oh.

01:47:49.000 Does that mean life?

01:47:50.000 But in Clue, I could get to, like, literally the library from the ballroom with a 44.

01:47:54.000 Yeah, and if you draw a 4 in Zari, you get to go back right out of the gate, and then you're safe. 0.97

01:47:58.000 That would be, so double death.

01:48:00.000 Yeah.

01:48:01.000 Love the 4.

01:48:02.000 It's a very stable number.

01:48:04.000 That's why they make tables with 4 legs. 0.98

01:48:05.000 Hey, connect 4.

01:48:08.000 Anthony Austin says, Tim, civil defense should be reactivated and bunkers built for the public.

01:48:13.000 You know, when you walk around New York, you see a lot of those signs, Fallout Shelter.

01:48:16.000 I wonder if, like, I don't know anybody who has any idea how to use those or what you do in the event of an actual nuke, right?

01:48:23.000 It's like I was saying before, we've forgotten sort of all the rules, all the, you know, where's the manual for Cold War?

01:48:30.000 Can somebody dust it off?

01:48:31.000 And can we go back to read that?

01:48:32.000 There was like a livestyle that we had a secret sealed off swimming pool underground bomb shelter at our high school and no one ever found.

01:48:39.000 I, yeah.

01:48:40.000 Did you guys have one too?

01:48:42.000 Actually, so when I, in my grade school outside Philadelphia, we actually had, we had a straight up bunker.

01:48:48.000 I remember going into it.

01:48:50.000 I remember it having like the radiation logo on it.

01:48:53.000 It had the door.

01:48:54.000 I remember in, I remember doing at least one desk drill and I remember even then thinking like, I don't know how this stops a missile, but okay.

01:49:03.000 You know, I guess the idea is if it hits the school, it stops the rubble.

01:49:06.000 Or if the windows get blown out, you don't take it in the face.

01:49:09.000 Right, right.

01:49:09.000 So, you know, shrapnel and things like that.

01:49:10.000 But then in the 80s, if you were in a, which I am, if the propaganda in the 80s that this was all Reagan's fault, he was gonna do this, all the little kids, please Ronald Reagan, stop us, stop the war.

01:49:19.000 Let's read some more.

01:49:19.000 We got GBP says, World Economic Forum wants us on crypto.

01:49:23.000 Look up the World Economic Forum's strategic intelligence web with blockchain linked to every aspect of life.

01:49:28.000 I've been saying this, my friends, let me tell you a story back in, I think it was 2016 or 17.

01:49:31.000 I went to Davos.

01:49:36.000 Because I have friends who were working in crypto, and the World Economic Forum at the time, they have peripheral events outside.

01:49:43.000 So in Davos, the city, they have the World Economic Forum, which is highly secure.

01:49:47.000 Then they have the entire city.

01:49:48.000 It's like South by Southwest, basically.

01:49:50.000 The entire city goes convention mode.

01:49:52.000 Crypto was it.

01:49:55.000 Everyone was talking about it.

01:49:55.000 Oh, wow.

01:49:57.000 I actually had a conversation with the granddaughter of a world leader about Bitcoin.

01:50:03.000 Yeah.

01:50:03.000 I ended up leaving early because I was like, this is insane.

01:50:05.000 There's a blizzard.

01:50:06.000 They call it the internet of things.

01:50:07.000 It was like, there was like a blizzard.

01:50:08.000 It was like five feet of snow.

01:50:09.000 We were going to go snowboarding, but there's like avalanche risk.

01:50:09.000 It was crazy.

01:50:12.000 It was so, it was so, it's so amazing up there though.

01:50:15.000 When you drive in and like, you can see like the mountains and everything.

01:50:18.000 It is crazy.

01:50:19.000 Dude, I'm concerned with mind control.

01:50:20.000 Like, they are already doing it with the media.

01:50:23.000 Obviously, you can see people getting mind controlled.

01:50:24.000 But, like, real, like, when they start tapping in and changing brain waves and stuff, maybe there already are, but I don't think so.

01:50:29.000 I haven't seen evidence.

01:50:31.000 Alright.

01:50:32.000 Bobcat says, Tim, forget your Hollywood image of nuclear war.

01:50:35.000 It would look more like the slow escalation in the game Twilight 2000.

01:50:38.000 Ask Jack, even.

01:50:40.000 I used to play that game.

01:50:42.000 It was like a World War III Dungeons & Dragons game.

01:50:42.000 Twilight 2000.

01:50:46.000 We had tanks and humvees and stuff.

01:50:48.000 It was really cool.

01:50:48.000 Your guys' stats and weapons.

01:50:50.000 The problem we've had with playing Dungeons & Dragons here, or whatever we tried to do with it, is that everyone's too roguish.

01:50:57.000 You know?

01:50:58.000 You've gotta learn how to have fun and just chill with it.

01:51:01.000 But it would be fun to do... Yeah, you gotta learn how to lose.

01:51:03.000 To enjoy losing and make a funny show out of it.

01:51:06.000 It's not really about winning, it's about creating a show for people.

01:51:08.000 A dungeon master, I suppose.

01:51:10.000 All the players too, because it's more about just like putting on a show than about winning a game.

01:51:15.000 There's no real victory condition.

01:51:16.000 It's about having fun, but I would love to film some kind of... If we took all of the politics today into Twilight 2000 or a game like that, and then played out a scenario and like... Yeah, Twilight 2000.

01:51:27.000 I like Aberrant.

01:51:27.000 We should check out it before we play as mutants and you have superpowers.

01:51:30.000 Well, we should do 2024 election D&D.

01:51:35.000 Oh my gosh, can we?

01:51:37.000 Yes!

01:51:37.000 Rather than a dungeon, it's like the Hall of Congress and you have to go from room to room and I can be Nancy Pelosi and these are my powers and you roll the dice and there's a quorum vote and you all have to... Oh my gosh, I would play that game in a heartbeat!

01:51:52.000 But it would be funny to be like, 2024 Donald Trump is getting elected because they did this.

01:51:56.000 Like John Podesta and a bunch of Democrats did a war game.

01:52:01.000 They basically played what is essentially D&D about the 2020 election.

01:52:05.000 And then apparently like Donna Brazile and John Podesta were like, we secede from the Union or like trying to get California to secede or something.

01:52:11.000 Yep.

01:52:11.000 What a crazy, crazy thing, man.

01:52:13.000 It was in one of those Time Magazine articles, wasn't it?

01:52:15.000 Yeah, uh, no, this was a Boston Globe.

01:52:18.000 But everyone everyone basically picked it up.

01:52:19.000 I think Atlantic had it.

01:52:20.000 Yeah.

01:52:21.000 All right.

01:52:21.000 Let's see.

01:52:23.000 Nemetin says, Jack, can you speak to speak some to your understanding of China's 100 year plans, and how this may play into their current geopolitical position?

01:52:32.000 Few people get to develop much longer strategic plans and are ridiculously patient.

01:52:36.000 Well, look, I mean, you know, I think this has been said before, but in a nutshell, so the founding of the CCP was in 19, or not the founding, but the founding of the PRC was in 1949.

01:52:46.000 So their 100-year plan will come to culmination in 2049.

01:52:50.000 That is a key year for them because that is their centenary of taking over all, or their centennial of taking over all of China, with the exception, of course, of Taiwan. 0.78

01:52:59.000 And so the idea is, they want to be in the position where the United States was at that point.

01:53:06.000 They want to be the global hegemon.

01:53:08.000 And if they can have Russia in their back pocket, if they can have Putin, this belligerent, thug, mafioso, you know, Russian mafia type, who's willing to keep, you know, keep Europe at bay, then they will do so.

01:53:20.000 And of course, what China will do here, it's very simple, by the way, they'll come to Europe and they'll say, look, We can keep Putin in check.

01:53:27.000 You just need to make an economic deal with us.

01:53:29.000 You need to give us the most favored status with the EU.

01:53:32.000 We have to work together.

01:53:33.000 And then we'll talk to Putin.

01:53:35.000 We'll bring him down.

01:53:36.000 We'll keep you guys safe.

01:53:37.000 But as long as you go through us, everything's going to be okay.

01:53:40.000 It's your basic, it's your basic mafia protection racket that's going on right now.

01:53:45.000 And unfortunately, it's the people of Ukraine who are the ones who have to suffer.

01:53:50.000 All right, we got this from Eric Vasilyev.

01:53:53.000 Vasilyev, Russian guy here living in Maryland, getting my bags ready for these camps you're talking about.

01:53:57.000 If it doesn't work out there, can I come stay with you guys?

01:54:01.000 Rest assured, Russian-Americans, if you are but a humble American or green card holder or just someone who is uninvolved but you are Russian, we will absolutely hide you beneath the floorboards. 1.00

01:54:12.000 They can come and knock in and we'll just be like, I don't know what you're talking about, anybody here?

01:54:12.000 Yes.

01:54:16.000 You ain't done nothing wrong, bro.

01:54:18.000 Maybe that's why you're getting swatted.

01:54:21.000 Maybe this is preemptive swatting. 0.76

01:54:22.000 We already have Russians in our floorboards. 0.98

01:54:24.000 Every time they come in, they just ask you to... They don't want to be there, but we put them there anyway.

01:54:28.000 We've heard you have Russians in your floorboards. 1.00

01:54:32.000 Just cats, officer. 0.68

01:54:34.000 They're just cats.

01:54:35.000 No, no, no.

01:54:35.000 It's like, I confess, it's true, and they open it up and there's cats everywhere and the cops are like...

01:54:41.000 You think they're gonna change the name of Russian dressing to like freedom dressing?

01:54:41.000 Help us.

01:54:45.000 What they do with French fries?

01:54:47.000 Freedom fries?

01:54:48.000 Freedom dressing. 0.75

01:54:51.000 Oh, man.

01:54:52.000 All right.

01:54:54.000 Tanner Larson says, great show, guys.

01:54:56.000 Dan, what do you think about hydrogen as an alternative way of storing energy?

01:54:59.000 I'm currently working on a project regarding water electrolysis, and I'm curious if you have input.

01:55:04.000 I'm not an expert on hydrogen.

01:55:07.000 The only thing I would say is this.

01:55:08.000 We've been talking about hydrogen as this amazing energy source for 60 years.

01:55:12.000 If it was as good as we were hoping it would, it would have come to fruition by now.

01:55:16.000 I am a firm believer that the free market cannot keep good things off the market.

01:55:20.000 Did you study Stanley Meyer's water car?

01:55:23.000 I did not.

01:55:24.000 No.

01:55:24.000 Apparently prediction just came true from earlier before the show even ended.

01:55:28.000 I'm so sorry.

01:55:29.000 We'll talk later.

01:55:31.000 Kinzinger just called for a no.

01:55:33.000 Kinzinger just said, this proves we need to have a no-fly zone.

01:55:38.000 They watched the show.

01:55:39.000 I don't know if they were watching when we were doing the live stream, but they followed our advice on the camera positions.

01:55:44.000 Have you bought your beans yet?

01:55:45.000 Because you don't want to be fighting over the last can of beans with Agnes in a Walmart parking lot.

01:55:49.000 No, no, no.

01:55:50.000 It's good.

01:55:51.000 Share the beans.

01:55:52.000 Get ready to split your food in half and share it with your neighbor.

01:55:54.000 And then get ready to split it in half over and over and over, just like Jesus did to feed all those people.

01:55:58.000 Well, he multiplied it miraculously.

01:56:00.000 By cutting it in half.

01:56:02.000 I'm a literologist.

01:56:04.000 But that's not what literally it says.

01:56:07.000 Lindsey Graham has just called for President Putin's assassination.

01:56:10.000 I just saw that and I'm trying to pull up a source on this.

01:56:13.000 No, it's his own Twitter.

01:56:14.000 Isn't that a hag crime? 1.00

01:56:16.000 His own Twitter account, is there a Brutus in Russia?

01:56:19.000 Is there a more successful Colonel Stolfenberg in the Russian military?

01:56:23.000 The only way this ends is for someone in Russia to take this guy out. 0.82

01:56:26.000 You would be doing your country and the world a great service.

01:56:29.000 Okay, Lindsey Graham's out of control, he's drunk, and he needs to be removed from power. 1.00

01:56:33.000 And you know, if their leader gets assassinated, the Russian people will certainly stop supporting the war effort.

01:56:39.000 I can't imagine that nobody worse than Putin would ever come up.

01:56:42.000 Yeah, no, that could never ever happen.

01:56:44.000 This is a statement that will be a chapter in history books.

01:56:49.000 When a US senator called for the assassination of the president of a warring nation.

01:56:53.000 You know what I call that?

01:56:54.000 I wonder what Russian TV is going to do with this.

01:56:57.000 I wonder what they're going to do.

01:56:59.000 Remember when we got rid of Trump because we didn't like mean tweets?

01:57:02.000 Yep.

01:57:03.000 I remember that.

01:57:04.000 Lindsey Graham should resign over this. 1.00

01:57:06.000 That's awful escalation.

01:57:07.000 No, I just tweeted that.

01:57:08.000 You need to resign.

01:57:09.000 He needs to resign.

01:57:11.000 We have it right here.

01:57:12.000 Is there a Brutus in Russia?

01:57:13.000 Which is obviously... Yeah, Brutus is the guy that killed Caesar.

01:57:17.000 Stabbed him in the back.

01:57:18.000 One of the guys. 0.64

01:57:19.000 One of the guys.

01:57:20.000 Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian military?

01:57:23.000 The only way is for somebody to take this guy out.

01:57:26.000 What? 1.00

01:57:26.000 These people are psychotic, man. 1.00

01:57:30.000 That's insane. 1.00

01:57:31.000 That's just absolutely insanity to tweet that.

01:57:34.000 It's beyond escalation.

01:57:37.000 It's absurdly irresponsible.

01:57:39.000 It's very well said.

01:57:40.000 Thank you.

01:57:41.000 I was looking for good words.

01:57:42.000 Thank you.

01:57:43.000 He needs to resign because this is dangerously close to informal war declarations.

01:57:49.000 I don't know whatever Russia's Politburo, if a similar person had called for the assassination of Joe Biden, Lindsey Graham himself would be talking about how that is an act of war.

01:58:00.000 I do not like this guy.

01:58:01.000 No, I can't stand him, man. 1.00

01:58:02.000 Lindsey Graham is trash. 1.00

01:58:04.000 He needs to be primaried. 1.00

01:58:06.000 This is like, bro, quit now.

01:58:10.000 I can't believe this, man.

01:58:11.000 The people of South Carolina, y'all need to start calling him and telling him to resign, retire.

01:58:16.000 Just what an unhinged thing to say in general.

01:58:18.000 I'm trying to figure out if it's a war crime.

01:58:19.000 Is it a war crime to call for an assassination?

01:58:22.000 Or are assassinations war crimes?

01:58:24.000 Does Twitter's Terms of Service allow this?

01:58:25.000 Like, we're not at war with them.

01:58:26.000 I actually don't know how Twitter's Terms of Service can allow this.

01:58:30.000 Yeah.

01:58:31.000 Well, screenshot it.

01:58:32.000 Remember, Trump was banned.

01:58:33.000 You would be doing your country and the world a great service.

01:58:36.000 How is this not calling for violence?

01:58:38.000 This is calling for violence.

01:58:39.000 It's beyond him saying, like, threatening Putin's life.

01:58:42.000 So Trump was banned.

01:58:43.000 It is literally him praising the action as honorable and a service. 0.99

01:58:47.000 Crazy, man.

01:58:48.000 Plus, keep in mind, this is a U.S. 0.80

01:58:50.000 government official, an extremely powerful U.S.

01:58:52.000 government official who's about to become part of the majority of the U.S.

01:58:56.000 Senate coming up in September or November.

01:59:00.000 Who's about to become retired.

01:59:01.000 I think they do.

01:59:04.000 I'm on the fence.

01:59:05.000 I think, well, it's clearly a jump ball. 0.92

01:59:07.000 I know we talk about it's sad to see good Congress people go if they have term limits, but this is complete ludicrous. 0.88

01:59:14.000 Beyond the pale. 0.70

01:59:14.000 This is so beyond the pale. 0.70

01:59:16.000 This is like, this guy is just out of his mind.

01:59:19.000 F in mind.

01:59:20.000 Get him out. 1.00

01:59:21.000 I mean, it's so stupid, too. 1.00

01:59:23.000 Like, even if it would be a good strategy to have him assassinated, it's such a stupid thing to say. 1.00

01:59:30.000 The reason assassinations are never a good strategy, just in general, is because you don't know what's... Look what happened when Brutus assassinated and the rest of the senators assassinated Julius Caesar. 0.98

01:59:39.000 You got Caesar Augustus.

01:59:41.000 And he turned the Republic into a full-on empire, and the triumvirate had them all killed.

01:59:46.000 I want to give a shout out to, uh, I agree.

01:59:48.000 I mean, my point is like read the rest of this.

01:59:50.000 It's just, it's not like the way, I guess my point is like, it's, it's an insane thing to even propose, but then the way of, of just like saying it on Twitter.

01:59:59.000 And that's how he's going to make that thought known to the world.

02:00:02.000 I want to give a shout out to Troy Rubert, a super chat who said Lindsey Graham calling for Putin assassination wild times.

02:00:08.000 He, he posted that, um, before we, we, we got the source, we picked it up, but, but, um, free speech, super chat.

02:00:14.000 If he's in Congress and they're debating this and he brings it up, free speech.

02:00:18.000 It's on the table.

02:00:19.000 Maybe not ethical, but it's on the table.

02:00:20.000 You don't tweet it out, dude.

02:00:22.000 Twitter's like a weapon.

02:00:24.000 You've got to use it like a weapon.

02:00:27.000 By the way, you're going to have Russians responding now. 0.60

02:00:29.000 He has completely undermined the US.

02:00:32.000 Vladimir Putin can now come out and say, people of Russia, American politicians are trying to get me killed.

02:00:38.000 These people will not negotiate with us.

02:00:40.000 They have shut down our infrastructure. They are attacking with their waging cyber war against us. Our only op your

02:00:46.000 only option is me It's it's what jack was saying. Lindsey. Graham is a

02:00:50.000 Moron, even if it wasn't a horrible strategy to assassinate him 1.00

02:00:55.000 And even if it wasn't a horrible idea to propose that strategy over twitter. He is 1.00

02:01:00.000 Not the person who's in a position to do so Let me read this.

02:01:06.000 I'm a super chat, I'm gonna read this.

02:01:10.000 Patrick Helton says Lindsey Graham is right.

02:01:13.000 Lindsey Graham may be technically right.

02:01:15.000 He just said it on Fox too.

02:01:17.000 He said it on Fox.

02:01:17.000 He's on Fox.

02:01:18.000 Lindsey Graham is right if you want nuclear annihilation. 1.00

02:01:22.000 Lindsey Graham is right if you want war to reach every, every inch of this globe.

02:01:28.000 Lindsey Graham is not correct in how you end war and conflict.

02:01:31.000 He's talking about how do you, how do you stop Vladimir Putin as an individual?

02:01:36.000 Because if something like this happened, especially now that he's called for it, they're going to, they would, what, respond with a war declaration against us?

02:01:43.000 If somebody took a move to kill, and it was because of Lindsey Graham. 0.75

02:01:46.000 Oh, you get some crazy communist Does he not understand, by the way, that the Kremlin is more than just one person. 0.83

02:01:51.000 There's an entire infrastructure inside that building. 0.93

02:01:55.000 There's an establishment.

02:01:56.000 There's neocons, right?

02:01:58.000 The same way that we have neocons that are surrounding Vladimir Putin.

02:02:02.000 And you can say, well, okay, Putin picked them because they're loyal to him.

02:02:04.000 Okay, great.

02:02:05.000 Now, what do you think the Putin loyalists would do if someone assassinated Putin?

02:02:11.000 And then you could say that because Lindsey Graham just said it publicly on Fox and publicly on Twitter, that it was a U.S.-backed plot.

02:02:18.000 What do you think the Putin loyalists would respond in that scenario?

02:02:23.000 They'd probably start planning a hundred years of war with the United States.

02:02:25.000 These people cannot think beyond first-order effects.

02:02:29.000 This is the same problem that you see on the left and the right.

02:02:31.000 Neoliberals, neoconservatives, they cannot think beyond first-order effects.

02:02:36.000 It's really what it comes down to.

02:02:37.000 It's like most people. 1.00

02:02:38.000 I don't know how many times I can say it's stupid and dangerous and still be effective. 0.99

02:02:42.000 And it makes, and as Tim was just saying, it makes Putin now, it gives him the opportunity to go on the camera tomorrow and say, the United States government is calling for my assassination. 1.00

02:02:51.000 And not only have they punished us financially, now they are calling to kill me.

02:02:55.000 And all I am trying to do is fight for Russia.

02:02:58.000 So you- He's going to say- Let's specify this.

02:02:59.000 So now you've given- Lindsey Graham doing this and not the American government.

02:03:02.000 Yeah, you've given Putin another weapon now.

02:03:04.000 He's going to say a country that invaded another country, Iraq, and then later came out and said it was an intelligence error and destroyed a country has the nerve to lecture us because we're defending our borders.

02:03:20.000 As they attempt regime change, and now because of Russia's willingness to defend itself, they have called for my death.

02:03:26.000 That's what he's gonna do. By the way, you know, Lindsey Graham was a huge supporter of your my Don he went over

02:03:30.000 there with John McCain With Victoria Nuland with so many of these people very

02:03:34.000 early on in 2013 2014. He's with poor Shenko He's he's been tied into this directly. So that's at the

02:03:42.000 same token I guarantee you

02:03:44.000 Russian TV is gonna be playing that clip of Lindsey Graham and then showing the pictures of

02:03:49.000 Lindsey Graham being with the Ukrainian military and this is gonna be a massive

02:03:54.000 propaganda coup for Putin in I After tonight, man. I really do think we are heading

02:03:59.000 towards It's...

02:04:01.000 A very serious escalation with Kinzinger, with Lindsey Graham. 1.00

02:04:07.000 Yeah, but they're both morons at least. 1.00

02:04:09.000 It doesn't matter. 1.00

02:04:10.000 The establishment has chosen its narrative, and they're going to just steamroll it through, and you're going to get sycophants and lunatics who are going to be like, we have to, we must do it.

02:04:18.000 Same as it always happens.

02:04:20.000 The anti-war voices, I mean, Lee Camp is a strong anti-war voice, so of course he's going to- Well, and the question becomes then, do people like Lindsey Graham know what they're doing?

02:04:28.000 Do they know exactly what they're doing?

02:04:30.000 I don't think they care.

02:04:32.000 All right, let's do this.
