From Zaporizhzhia’s Nuclear Standoff to Moldova’s Manipulated Elections: Truth, Power, and Peace in a Fractured World

Tonight on International Flavor, Samuel Trapp examines the escalating crisis at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, where diesel generators replace lost grid power in the longest outage since the war began. We explore competing narratives from Russia, Ukraine, the IAEA, and Greenpeace—and what’s really at stake. The show then turns to Moldova’s elections, U.S. influence, and the EU’s push to bypass veto rules. From multipolarity debates to Washington’s oil ambitions in Venezuela, we cut through propaganda to expose where global power struggles are leading.

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
This incredibly awesome music to bring you some incredibly awesome political talk on damn radio

(00:07):
That is correct. I am Samuel Trapp
This is international flavor. You are on damn radio
Lots going on plenty plenty. There's something I just came across that I had read but I didn't realize
There's a 61

(00:29):
Minute video attached to it, which I'm gonna share and
With myself I mean
Listen to it later and it's in Sochi and
Southern Russia, you know in Crimea actually and basically it's a TV show

(00:49):
That I had read this report, but I didn't notice that the actual show that it referenced was out there
And I want to because it has and I'm gonna read you the article I intended to anyway
But it's called it's from a show called the Sanchez effect guy named Rick Sanchez, right?

(01:11):
And they they pose in it something that's of a great deal of interest to me
Basically, it's a million dollar question that they're talking about and well
Obviously, nobody gets a million dollars if they answered a question, but they want to know the following

(01:32):
can
multipolarity
deliver peace
That our world so desperately seeks or are we just destined to swap one hegemony for another?
Okay, get rid of the u.s. Get rid of
EU and what do you get in its place? Is it China? Is it China and Russia?

(01:55):
Is it China Russia India? Is it bricks? What is it? And and I don't know
I I think that like I talked about last night a lot of the UN
BS that's going around. It's it's a shame what we have done and clearly something needs to change what the answer is
Lord knows I mean who knows what the correct answer would be, but it's not

(02:18):
Continuing the way we are. It's not starting out and saying geez. Let's create a war department and
Get ready for war. Everybody's getting ready for war you get ready for war wars a-coming and and I'm not I
Think that's what the world is tired of is all of this war and I have plenty on that topic tonight

(02:41):
That I wish to get to but before I get in this is a very short article
but I haven't had the time to
I'm wondering if it'll let me for example
Save this
Show I wonder if it'll just let me keep it

(03:04):
Here's a link that I copied by you a hundred bucks
It won't let me copy it to where I want to copy it wonder if it'll let me email it to my damn self
At any rate I
I'll skip that part and
Tell you what what this short little article says about this million-dollar question

(03:27):
Somebody named T. Ha
Ocean, and I don't know if I've said her name correctly
Research director at the Ankara Institute, Turkey says that as multi polarity appears
increasingly
inevitable
From their point of view the u.s. Seems to be

(03:47):
retreating into
isolationism
While the u.s. Can afford to go it alone
Other nations particularly in Europe may not share that luxury
I mean we like I've told you repeatedly that we both us and Russia and maybe Brazil
Have the resources the people the money the land everything that you need to take care of ourselves

(04:15):
You know we don't have to
import
things from other countries we do not have to and
You know there's some argument that that is some of what Trump is trying to accomplish
You know getting a more reflective and inward view towards us. I
Haven't made my own determination of that or not. I'm just saying that people have been talking about it, so

(04:40):
Somebody named Radhika Desai professor at the University of Manitoba and a director of the geopolitical
Economy research group says multi-polarity isn't on the horizon. It's been here all along
Ironically this reality may be what obstructs lasting peace as the u.s.

(05:02):
Is fighting against a disappointing end of its unipolar?
Dream, so that's you know Manitoba. That's freaking
Canada right somebody named coffee
Kwakow an African analyst from the University of Johannesburg

(05:22):
Cautions that labeling the world as
multi-polar
doesn't
guarantee tranquility
after all
Could China and Russia be vying for the same dominant position held by the u.s.
As I just said Rick raises a critical point do people trust Beijing and Moscow more than Washington

(05:46):
Well, it's pretty hard to trust
Washington that is for damn sure, but I don't want to make the mistake of
Trusting
Russia and Beijing either you know it's still
You know
Government you know what I mean, and I don't trust ours as far as you could pick them up and heave them

(06:06):
You know there's there's zero to trust you know, but a true believer. You know
well famous last words you're not a
A fool for a client right
For now the answer seems to be yes, we do trust Beijing and Moscow
More than Washington, but history shows us that skepticism is definitely warranted

(06:31):
Because those in power can easily backtrack on their own commitments
So what does the future hold join us for answers in?
This thought-provoking episode well, I thought it was gonna be more of reading right
But it isn't it's a shared a shared video

(06:54):
which I haven't had time to watch or download and I and but I do intend to and
Hopefully I can share it with you tomorrow. That would be that would be kind of fun
But
Something that would
I
Force the u.s.. Force the West for you know and I don't see it

(07:17):
because once again, you know you have Moldova in this position of
being the next Ukraine right and
They're they're changing the rules in the EU to get Ukraine in Moldova
in without a veto they're gonna
Change the rules of how the EU works and get rid of veto power

(07:39):
for like people like Orban who could veto their entry into the
Block, and they're just gonna change the rules. Sorry. We're changing rules at the end
But as I told you yesterday there were some interesting
Developments on that end too because now there's a couple of countries saying that their own

(08:02):
Constitution can override EU mandates, which is also against the EU
You know operational
Structure so I don't know but I but I do intend to get to this article or this show it's called the
Sanchez effect and you can find it out out there

(08:29):
This was this show was put on in Sochi
Crimea and so I'll try to get to that by tomorrow. Okay, there's something extremely dangerous going on and if you haven't heard about it yet
Perhaps I should tell you
so
We talked at length several times about the

(08:52):
Zaporozhye nuclear power plant
Z and PP and it is in Zaporozhye and Russia has taken it over since
2022 and
One of the things they would like to do because this is the largest nuclear power plant in

(09:12):
Europe it's huge and it has six reactors. Okay, and
It has been on shutdown for a
long period of time and
That means it has to be
Powered from the outside during the cool-down phase

(09:34):
So that it gets cool because you can't just turn off a nuclear power plant
And I'm not an expert on how long it takes to to cool the reactors and get it down
But it take it does have to be powered
Externally, okay, and so there has to be power coming in from certain ways. Well recently

(09:58):
The
Power was cut off
Russia blames Ukraine Ukraine blames Russia the IAEA doesn't blame anybody
They just say look we need to restore the power or because now it's been off since
September 23rd, I think and

(10:20):
So, let me summarize
Basically what they are saying
Let's get to where the bottom line why this is such a big deal
So as of October 1st today

(10:41):
External power is
Down, there is no external power powering it
the plants been on
emergency diesel generators
for eight days
This is the longest off-site power loss since the war began

(11:01):
The reactors are in what they call cold shut down radiation levels are normal
plant management and the IAEA both say that and
but restoring off-site power is a
Huge priority they have to restore it
so
Most

(11:21):
Sources, you know and you can go out and read about a whole bunch of this and they all they do is finger point
You know, but most of the sources if you can get to the actual what happened part the cooling
Still needs to occur. Okay, even with the reactors shut down
pumps have to run for the reactor cores the decay heat and

(11:43):
Spent fuel has to cool down right?
Diesel plus on-site procedures make the situation stable for now
But this isn't sustainable long term
off-site power has to be restored and IAEA is getting increasingly a
Vocal and saying look we don't care who's to blame. We got to get the power restored

(12:08):
so why it's why is this tense because every additional day on diesel increases the dependence on
resupply of diesel fuel and there's a war going on over there and
Trust me Ukraine would like nothing better than to deny Russia the ability to get diesel fuel there
I think they'd prefer an incident. I mean in all seriousness, you know

(12:31):
it's a they
This is a I think they would happily watch something big occur at
You know
They would prefer to have some huge massive emergency and just blame it on Russia because that might bring

(12:53):
I don't know the war to an end, you know what I mean?
And even if it destroys whatever's in Zaporizhia, you know for miles around like it did in Chernobyl in the northern part
of Ukraine, right
so
but it's a definitely a
a
serious problem because this resupply the risks that a single failure to get fuel on site a

(13:18):
Generator that faults or dies would be they can't get it
Restarted or a new
strike military drone whatever this would trigger a real
I mean not that this isn't an emergency, but a real emergency some kind of a nuclear issue just like

(13:39):
Chernobyl and the IAEA is pressing both sides to allow
these
Repairs which are a kilometer and a half away from the plant to occur
And so where does the story split, you know, who's who's saying what the Russians are saying?

(14:00):
That fighting and
Ukrainian attacks
Prevent repairs so they cannot repair because Ukrainians attack anybody who comes within any
place where they can get close enough to repair the the

(14:21):
Lines the power lines to get the power restored the off-site power restored, right and
And
The they also say the diesel is working
There is no abnormal radiation
but external power has to be restored and

(14:45):
so
IAEA says well, yes power has to be restored and it has to be restored quickly, but we don't assign
Blame, you know, we're not blaming Ukraine. We don't care who's who's to blame. We just want it fixed Ukraine
Who used to operate it a company called in their go atom and

(15:09):
several Western outlets and NGOs
argue that
Russia is deliberately not reconnecting the power
Is an interesting argument and there there could be some some truth to this
It wouldn't surprise me if this were the case, let's put it that way

(15:29):
Russia is according to Ukraine Russia is deliberately not reconnecting
And or has sabotaged this last power line
to
you know, which
Could restore external power and allow the cooling to be you know

(15:52):
Treated that way and
They've been
The kind of supported in this by what Greenpeace says Greenpeace
Claims that they have a new satellite review that says that the
750
kilovolt

(16:12):
Maybe that's kilowatt. I don't know. I don't understand the
The terminology that they have there the this shows no major combat damage
which contradicts Russia's claim that shelling of the
Power line that leads here is what's blocking the problem
and

(16:33):
So we have Russia saying one thing Ukraine say in another I a e a says the on-site team says
That power loss and nearby shelling
They do report nearby shelling and power loss and say the plant and its people they have the spares to fix the line
and they have the way to get out to the line, but they cannot get access and approval to get to the space to

(16:58):
Repair it and every time somebody goes out there people are you know getting bombed and whatnot and you know
They don't want to send these engineers out to repair this and kill
So grossie who runs the IAEA is working with both Moscow and Kiev for a restoration of this
This is a really big deal and the IAEA

(17:19):
Won't validate either side about who broke what they don't care
They just want it fixed and that's exactly the the point of view they should have
The with all six of the units in a cold shutdown
The heat loads are definitely lower than they would be during normal operation and this reduces

(17:44):
But doesn't get rid. I mean it seriously reduces
But doesn't get rid of the hazard the real risk would be the loss of all AC power
Including the diesel long enough to stop the cooling water
circulation
especially on the spent fuel pools
So there wouldn't be any sort of

(18:06):
Instantaneous blast or anything like that and everyone is
Obsessed with off-site power rather than the reactor status alone
You know they're not with the reactor status because they're already in shutdown
It's not as terrible, but they still need that off-site power
So this is the tenth time that off-site power has been lost

(18:30):
at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant since 2022
Repeated line trips and access fights are always a pattern each time the IAEA
urges a return to a stable grid connection
past incidents do matter in this regard because the IAEA
documented direct drone strikes by Ukraine at

(18:54):
Zaporizhia nuclear power plant in 2024 including a direct hit on unit 6 is dome and
Reports of mines and shelling near the site. This is
not good and
It illustrates how fragile you know the safety is in the in combat situation so but the bottom line

(19:18):
As as much as I can tell it you know without
Intentionally trying to say that it's you know one side or the other you know Russia has been claiming that
Ukraine has been bombing the place for a while
Ukraine says something and I found this entering. I don't know interesting. I don't know speak to the truth of it
I don't know, but like I said it wouldn't surprise me the confirmed fact is this is the longest power outage

(19:43):
stretch
Where they've had to run on diesel and the reactors are shut radiation and normal
but urgent need to restore that power line and
You know who to attribute this to is of course contested Russia's blame in Ukraine
Attacks and access you can't won't let us in there and there go Adam from Ukraine and NGOs saying well

(20:07):
There's no clear damage to the key
Connections and they're saying this is where it gets interesting that this is a deliberate
Non-reconnection by Russia that they don't want to reconnect
and
Like I said I EA state states out, but wants to pressure both sides

(20:30):
But the risk is real and and what they're saying is that if this is true
What Russia has wanted to do according to some other?
stories is
that
they want to

(20:52):
Switch the lines right I mean
For example
Greenpeace asserts to blackout fits a
Russian strategy to disconnect
Zaporizhia from Ukraine's power grids and

(21:13):
Reroute it all to Russia right now. I believe it split
Half of it goes toward Russia half of it goes toward Ukraine
you know when lines go in both ways and
They're saying that if Russia can keep it shut down long enough
they can reroute it to their own power grid and then

(21:35):
Restart to plant in Ukraine gets none of the nuclear power none of it heads west it all heads east
or north you know whatever north south and east and
but not west into Ukraine proper and
All right, that's a reasonably good argument
I would think or something that certainly would be worth looking into if there were if I had any trust in Greenpeace

(22:00):
It'd be it'd be a little different
But I don't know you know trust them any any any more than I trust the government. You know what I mean and
So they say they want to ultimately
Reconnect it and they have previously published
satellite evidence of new Russian power line construction

(22:22):
Toward Mariupol and Berdyansk and these are accusations and the IAEA hasn't said anything about them
right so this is just Greenpeace and
Certain other you know intelligence outlets that are claiming. Oh geez Russia. Just won't steal the power plant well Russia already runs the power plant and
You know Ukraine wants it back remember the back year ago

(22:45):
Well not quite because Trump hasn't been in office yet a year, but they were talking about well jeez you know okay?
US will run the power plant
We'll do it. Yeah, good plan. You know why don't we run it, and we'll make sure everything is safe over there
We'll just steal the power plant. How about that instead of you getting it?
We'll take it you know I suppose that's that goes well with if nobody you know if if you can't decide well

(23:11):
Then mom's taking it. You know you'd like a toy
Toy in the toy in the living room there you are you two are playing it wasn't either one
I'll take it you know throw it away. You know split the baby into whatever you will call it I
Don't know Reuters and AP and others are saying you know this is the longest outage
They really need to do something no immediate danger blah blah blah this the Guardian keeps sight in Greenpeace and mentions a leaked

(23:39):
Russian paper
to the IAEA in June
about
Reconfiguring control and power flows, which has been reported in the press, but not published by IAEA
So whether that's true or not. I don't know
but

(24:01):
When there's a cold shutdown it doesn't mean there's no heat even in shutdown reactors and spent fuel
They got to be have powered cooling and instrumentation
you know with
Diesel generators running and refueled the risk is pretty low, but if something you know you get a station blackout
You're you're screwed. You know spent fuel pools core integrity if could decay heat isn't moved and all of this is

(24:29):
unsustainable redundancy
you know they if they have more than one of these but
Generally 10 to 20 days of diesel autonomy with refueling is about as long as you got and they're halfway through it
But prolonged blackouts and wartime scared the hell out of everybody right and they also
Got to have water for cooling and since a Cacova dam

(24:52):
2023 was destroyed
Zaporizhia's relying on alternate source groundwater and on-site
Reservoirs for cooling which means not a huge reservoir this makes stable electric power even more
Critical and to move the water and keep safety systems running so I

(25:14):
Don't know with the dispute over this
750
Kilowatt
Segment ie a you know just says the line is damaged. We don't care who did it fix it
We have staff ready to fix it. Let us in you know help us get there. We don't care who did it Russia says Ukraine fire

(25:35):
You know firing on it cut the line
And that they also say though
And this is the curious part Russia says well. We're maintaining safe conditions and nothing will happen down there
We won't allow anything well
Okay
Does that mean?
You know you planned ahead for this. I don't know

(25:59):
Green peace and very you know all that other stuff
What would change the risk picture really fast is any or interruption in diesel delivery?
Failed access to the repair cord or a push to restart a unit while the site lacks
You know if Russia wanted to restart one unit, or I mean obviously wouldn't start on, but if they want to restart one

(26:21):
There's not enough
not enough
Defensive posture to keep it going going
The way they need to so it's a it's a pretty scary
scenario
The guy that I like to listen to on the Ukrainian side is as Alex a

(26:42):
Aristovitch and his position you know he is citing the Ukrainians he said qualified
Ukrainian specialists are
Saying that the current dramatization is false or overblown
He said that according to them the reactors are

(27:04):
Inactive and easier to keep safe. He says neither he nor the host or technical experts
So they're kind of saying some of the stuff, but they spoke to some you know some
qualified Ukrainian experts and
He said that
For Russia the Zaporizhia plant

(27:26):
Powers the entire
occupied South and
Crimea Crimea and for Ukraine it could supply you know their industrial regions
You know so this is an important an important
asset so it's a convenient blackmail
amplification pressure

(27:47):
public opinion
political stress for both sides and so
the
There hasn't been enough attention to this in my humble opinion
Not enough people are talking about this you don't need another Chernobyl type incident in Ukraine

(28:07):
They already have one you know with what is the line? It's like 30
30 you know from my
What do you call it conspiracy theory on on the Chernobyl incident that I read to you a couple of
Maybe a week and a half ago
30 30

(28:29):
Radius of 30
That means a 60 mile circle. That's crazy
you know and nobody it's you know uninhabitable and
We don't you don't need another one of those
I mean
I suppose you could say you know well
Then if if we're gonna lose it in Ukraine since they've already lost it well fine blow it up

(28:50):
You know it's a Zaporizhia anyway
We're mad at them they voted to stay with Russia screw it let it go. You know that's
Horrible to say, but I suppose it's possible
You know blackmail there you go who is hitting it with drones and blocking repairs
We don't know says Aristovich. He said he doesn't know, but it's pretty scary on both sides, and then you know a serious

(29:17):
Nuclear incident is part of it
Aristovich sarcastically says that the IAEA chief
being
You know proactive on this the greater the
Danger the higher chance
That he gets you know promoted. You know gets more money and all that he's pretty he you talk about cynical. You know

(29:41):
That that sounds pretty good. He he was asked directly will this change the war he had like a
an hour discussion on this with an
interviewer and he said
If a Zaporizhia
Emergency occurred would it be a game-changer?

(30:04):
and
Aristovich said that right now. It's primarily a media instrument and
psychological pressure
Not a proven technical inevitability in that change in the rules
He doesn't confirm that people have been talking about Fukushima, too, and you know stuff like that. He doesn't I

(30:25):
think
it's
Using him as a guy to say something. It's more of a political
He's taking a political approach kind of like me because I don't claim to be an expert on nuclear
Energy and nuclear power plants. I do get the danger and and I think I've explained it pretty well here, but I

(30:47):
Assume it really would change the work regardless of which side you know you know which side caused it
It doesn't matter and it does need to be to be fixed
that is why this war needs to be one of a million reasons, you know including all the millions of dead that
This war needs to end sooner rather than later

(31:10):
Now Russia has been beaten the snot out of
Ukrainian
Energy
For upcoming winter anyway, they're destroying power plants. They're destroying oil gas
Facilities they're destroying water places. I mean there they are

(31:30):
They are really pounded now Ukraine for their part is doing the same thing
You know all the talks about tomahawks going on or as is a is a serious escalation
You got that idiot Kellogg running around. Oh geez give him some tomahawks. That'd be great
That's a game-changer. Oh, yeah idiot

(31:51):
What in the world is wrong with that guy
He's yeah, I have an idea what's the next ramp up can we can we make it bigger some other way hell
He's he'd be the guy standing out instead of having a Greenpeace sign in front of a nuclear power plant
He'd be going blow this thing up
You know, it's nonsense and the the positions he takes I just don't get

(32:17):
at all, but
Anyway, the Ames, you know strikes on Russia's
They took out
330 kilowatt substations
Railway locomotives, they're trying to get a blackout and put pressure on civilians with with zero power
they're trying to show their own capabilities and that they don't have to negotiate if they don't want to and

(32:42):
they want to destroy Ukraine's ability to
Continue
Military production and logistics. There were a lot of talks in the last few days about Russia
bombing factories where drones and
missile items were being
Manufactured a lot of it and where where they were

(33:06):
some operational plants as well and
So those I get those are not necessarily
Nuclear power plant
Specific but it's why energy is a central issue
Especially heading into the winter because if Russia has beaten the crap out all Ukraine's ability to provide power

(33:27):
Anyway, and the power to the Zaporizhia plant is coming from the Ukrainian side, which it is
Maybe it needs to be restored from the Russian side and you know
But then what Russia will then transfer all the power
To their direction and quit supplying it the other direction, you know what I mean?

(33:49):
so
Let us take a call
Hello, sir
Hey, Sam, how's it going? I didn't hear better
There you it's going better than I could even describe to you. Oh, well, that's good
What's so good?

(34:10):
Yeah, I've got kids. Ah
Let's swirl around me right now. I'm like I've got three children and then one grandchild
and they they are
Just in
They're giving me

(34:33):
feelings
that
Make me believe that
There's something good in this life
Well, there you go. Well, there is something good in this life
But I'm glad they're
Encouraging you toward that belief as well. So deep. Do you have any kids or grandkids? I do both

(34:58):
But you have kids and grandkids quite true
so
How do they make you feel?
Pretty good
That's a weird question, I'm not sure what you mean
Well, what I mean is would you not sacrifice

(35:21):
Anything in this world for them quite true. Yes, so
So, how do we collectively?
Provide a
Just a wide
Swath of information for them to discern

(35:46):
I
Think our
primary objective Sam is to
provide information I
Think that's true provide guidance and learning. You know, I have a there's a Sam jr. Running around, right and
You have a
there's a Sam jr. Running around and he's a he's an interesting cat and

(36:12):
And
For years and years and years, I always wondered because he was just
All of my kids are so much different than me, you know, well, that's not true
One of them is very much like me
But but the other three I you know, you don't understand them and and it's and I love that by the way

(36:33):
I think it's it's it. I don't need a little um, a little mini me, you know, I don't need that in
I
Want them to be their own?
But you do have a mini me. Well, I I do have one. That's quite true. And but
Well in various ways, yes, but but one is extremely like me but Sam jr. Is not in Sam is

(37:02):
Extremely interesting and I remember getting mad at him when
when he was in high school and
Something to the effect of why in the world do you put these ridiculous?
Ideas out there and who is filling your head with these nonsensical ideas and then he would

(37:24):
Come around, you know, try to convince me of what it was and it was more of a I
Don't know what a learning a learning curve
For both of us, I'm I'm saying that I still
believe
Anyway that I taught him more than in and convinced him more than he convinced me

(37:49):
but but I like it when they you know, I think that's part of being your own person part of
Growing up and and so I suppose if I want
If I could pass on anything, it would be to stand up for your own position and don't
But not foolishly, you know, you better have a basis for it. Give me, you know

(38:13):
I've always said to everyone, you know including on this show you can convince me of a lot of things
You can't tell me what I need to believe and say well, you're just wrong. All right
Well, then I'll be wrong or you can convince me why I should come around to your point of view
You don't just go well, you're canceled until you believe the way I say it or this person is canceled or well

(38:39):
Geez, we'll just kill him. We don't like his point of view. We'll just kill him. That'll teach you won't it?
well, no, it actually won't in fact, it'll make me go stronger the other way and that is my point about Sam because
You can convince Sam jr. But you cannot
Tell him what he will or will not believe, you know, you know what I mean?

(39:02):
And and and I like that sometimes it's frustrating but you know, I assume I'm a frustrating person as well
Because you know, I have positions that I have no problem attempting to back up
But I also say that anyone at any time
Can come to me and say?
Have you thought about it from this point of view Sam? Have you thought about?

(39:25):
This what if so in law school they have, you know, they tell you about
the
Socratic method and the Socratic method isn't
wrote
Memorization or here's how it works. It's ideas to make you think and law school is full of it
Okay, and in a lot of ways they really are full of it

(39:47):
No, but but I but I mean they come out and they they
Read you a case and there's no right answer in the law
Okay, it's not black and white. It's well
What about this
What if this circumstance happened? What if you know?

(40:10):
Well, it might be right for this particular person at this particular time against that particular person or group
But maybe it's not the same if it happened to you in this group in this location at a different time
in in
History, you know what I mean?
That's why I have such trouble with people who want to destroy what happened in the past and say, you know

(40:34):
Well, those those idiots killing the Indians. They were wrong. Yep
They probably were and we learned from it those people have in slaves
they were just wrong and so we should cancel them and take their names off of
grade schools and stuff like that well
That is still your history and just because you cancel them doesn't mean that's not still your

(40:58):
History, we're supposed to learn from those kind of things not just cancel it
So I hope that explains some of the ways I think
So it does Sam. So we're so fortunate to have
posterity that are willing to open their minds to

(41:19):
Historical
Issues, you know just history in general and you know
The the old saying is that if we are unwilling to you know
Take lessons from history then we're doomed
To you know repeat them. So so

(41:39):
Have such things
Are you cutting out? I can't hear you
I'm using a pregnant pause
We are so congruent we have so many things that are congruent and
There are so many ways that there are things that are trying to

(42:03):
Separate us and I really truly believe
That there is only one thing to come together under and that is God and Jesus. I
really believe that's the thing and
We
We have got to figure out a way
to get along instead of fight

(42:26):
Fighting is not the way
It's supposed to be we have got to get along
and I
Support that position a hundred percent wish we could get rid of
You know Trump Trump on the one hand talks about

(42:47):
Ending all these wars and on the other hand talks about
the Department of War and
gathering whatever it was 800 admirals and generals together to talk about how we're gonna
We're gonna start winning wars. Well, that means I have to start more of them, doesn't it?
I thought we were about peace. Are we about peace? Are we about war? I'm confused

(43:10):
I'm confused too. So here's what I think
So so so Russia is is a good nice decent Christian
Even if they're a little bit, you know
Communistic and socialistic. They're a good they don't like

(43:31):
Pedophiles, you know what? I mean? They're just decent people and then
America for the most part is decent people. They don't we don't like
Pedophiles and and and baby killers and bomb builders. So why don't we get along?
With Russia, why don't we get along with them? Well, it's just foolish that we don't

(43:54):
I don't know if you listen to my show on Sunday and I but regular
well, well, I know you listen to me regularly, but but I was about to somewhat repeat a
line of thought that I had because I
Truly am
planning and I've already

(44:16):
Looked into what's happening. I want to
You remember I don't know if you remember but I had an interview with that Scott Ritter
Guy that I used to work in the same
Same place he did in the same organization
doing
Verification of our treaties between the US and Russia, right and so so did he and

(44:40):
He got his passport back and was telling about it on my when I interviewed him, right a couple months ago
And he said that he was gonna start and what he had tried to do in the US took his passport
For making the effort they took his passport took him off the plane
Didn't arrest him anything like that just confiscated his passport

(45:01):
and he said what he was trying to do was to go over and
Begin and he had already arranged a lot of these
discussions and meetings to go over and and work with some sort of
Russian American
friendship or
cooperation
organization or something like that and I'm telling you I want to do something like that and

(45:27):
I'm planning a trip over there for New Year's
I want I've never been to st. Petersburg and I've never been to Russia over
Their holiday season which theirs is the reverse of ours ours is like the last 15 days of the year
theirs is the first 15 days of the year and the country shuts down from New Year's Eve to about the 15th and

(45:50):
I plan to fly over to st. Petersburg, Russia in
The last week of the year and stay there for two weeks and during that time I want to
Meet with similarly minded people in
Russia now I did a little bit of it when I was in Moscow a month or two month and a half ago

(46:12):
And I did a little bit of it. You know, I did an interview on TV with a group
I had an article published over there where I talk about you know
That we really are normal people, you know, I had and and it's in Russian
but so what you know, and I got interviewed in Russian and that's that's a good thing because there aren't a lot of

(46:34):
people that are going over and saying
What needs to be said and and I think we need to do more of that and and I'm not saying
From the point of view that Russia is always right and that we're always wrong. I don't mean it that way but that the people
We have a lot of commonality and I mean a lot it's like what you said

(46:56):
Generally, they're religious
Generally, they they don't believe in you know
That you know, you can turn some worship. Well, they don't believe
Nonsense, they don't they don't believe in geez if you want to say you're a cat guess you're a cat
You know the litter boxes in schools. They'd throw you in a nut house. You know what I mean?

(47:20):
And I don't know if you know that story or not
But but they were they were providing freaking litter boxes in a school. Wasn't that what kind of?
nonsense Emperor's new clothes crap is that and you know, a lot of us are
Quite similar here. I feel like it's I hate to say it

(47:41):
But sometimes I feel like it's a lot of us that have been around for a while, you know in the older generation
But over there it's
Every generation they're all like what in the world is wrong with those nutjobs over in America. You know what I mean?
Here's what I have to say. I think it's reasonable
for somebody that's

(48:04):
lucid and you know
normal
to be
Afraid of
the leftist
transgender
Thing they're there. I mean there it's reasonable for a normal person to be phobic
of a
Transgender someone that has got like zero

(48:28):
Zero baseline
Intelligence that it's reasonable for a normal person to be afraid of that
ridiculous
You know SH I T
It's I mean, they're G. Holy
f-ing f

(48:50):
They are so
Ridiculously
Unacceptable but I
Don't even know well, but you gotta admit that since the old trumpster came along that that is no longer the default
I mean we are not so we are not seeing that all

(49:10):
All over the television any longer we are you know
Everywhere and and you know, that's actually a good thing
Yeah, so so what I heard and I listen to x-22. Do you listen to x-22 report ever?
I have seen it, but no, I'm not a big follower

(49:33):
Listen to it. Trust me. You'll like it. You're a good guy Sam
I feel I feel so really close to you. You're not a bad guy. You're a guy you fool. Don't I?
You're maybe a little bit of a guy that believes in you know, big world stuff, which is okay

(49:54):
I I don't disagree with that. I mean we need to learn how to get along as a global society
I I truly suck at that. We really do we suck at that, bro
We suck at that so hard that we should be the best at it and we're not
We're not we're not

(50:14):
So anyway, I feel like I kind of bogart your airwaves from time to time, but I so much enjoy
Discussing just open open dialogue with you
Just like Charlie Kirk, you know all Charlie Kirk ever wanted to do whether it be good
Jew or bad Jew or good Christian or bad Christian all he ever wanted to do was just throw out

(50:39):
Some ideas that's all he ever wanted to do and he got shot. He got silenced
Who know who knows who shot him?
Who knows what silenced him someone something silenced him just like they silenced
JFK RFK
MLK they silenced them with an assassin's bullet, you know only because they were they were

(51:06):
They were preaching
Truth, you know just openness honest honesty, you know
Oh, that's the only reason they were shot down and killed is because they were just
offering
Honesty, you know, it's a shit. I saw a I had a

(51:30):
Client down in Florida who was a
she was looking for a a
house and you know, I was I was helping her try to find one for a couple of months and I haven't
Talked to her heard a bit since you know, the house was done and all that stuff was done
That was six eight months ago, but somehow we ended up

(51:53):
on each other's pages on
Social media and I never get on social media any I mean pretty rare the only time I do it is for
Real estate. No, I don't do it for anything else and I just
I'm just sick of it and and every once in a while

(52:14):
I'll get on there and and make a comment about one of my shows or something, but I was on there the other day and
something popped up
From from her and I and I I barely remembered the name, you know what I mean?
but I was reading this name and I was like, oh who is this and
And then it struck me who it was and there was a long. She had written a

(52:37):
Reasonably lengthy post and normally I completely ignore and just click and leave, you know
mark, all is red and I'm out right and
and but but this one it started out with
Since she says if any of you

(52:58):
Have and I'm not gonna quote it. I don't remember it
I'm not gonna pull it up or anything like that and it was a long post
but the basics were the start went like if any of you have
Taken joy in
the death of
Charlie Kirk
Please delete me and never talk to me again

(53:19):
She said I I have seen several people
Posting things that are political in nature and it was for me
It was exactly what I say and what I did say on this program, you know a couple of nights afterward, you know
For a week or so afterward, you know
As long as I was talking about it and what I will say again now and she said look those are you who take joy?

(53:45):
in the death of another
That has been murdered you are not my friends and
you need to get out of my life and I in and she went on a
Bit of a tirade and I read the whole thing and I was like and I always thought she was a you know
She's a I don't know what she's single. She's attractive single mother blah blah blah raising a kid

(54:08):
however, whatever age he was he couldn't have been more than 10 and
she was but I always thought she was a
Little on the worldly side, you know what I mean?
And then when when and I don't know why I just I didn't know her very well and then reading that article. It's like, you know
This is somebody that you and not me, but anybody would need to know this is the type of people

(54:33):
that you want to
associate with our people who don't condemn others, you know what I mean, we don't condemn them we don't
We don't
Cancel them. We don't wish them death. We don't I mean none of these idiotic
things that people seem to do and it's just like what I mean, I grew up Mormon

(54:58):
I think I've said that on this show before and
when I was reading that that story the other day and I think the kid who who shot Charlie Kirk grew up grew up Mormon if
I recall and
There was a Mormon Church that got
shot up the other day some guy drove a truck into it and then got out and started shooting people in the middle of a

(55:19):
Church in what was it, Michigan?
So I didn't know this
You you grew up Mormon. I sure did. Yes
How about that? Have you ever heard about the Mormon?
Mafia I have there's like 35% of the CIA and the FBI
There's something you know one I I had this Mormon kid when I was

(55:48):
I'm a well, I haven't really practiced since I left home, but I don't
I do not
Condemn Mormons I can derm condemn churches. Okay, that's that's my problem is when I was in the military
What about that?

(56:08):
Anointing with oil
You know, I don't comment on that stuff. That is not for me. I am NOT
Any of it
Well, I'm being honest I don't know anything about it because I quit

(56:29):
Associating shortly after joining the military and my issue is and always has been with that religion and
every other religion, it's
Being one person on Sunday and
Someone completely different through the week and when I was

(56:52):
But it's not we it's not for us
I don't let it happen because I don't do it
I don't do what I do during the week and you know, I don't know what I'm gonna do
I don't do anything horrible anyway, but I don't I don't pretend
I'm one person during the week and then on Sunday get all cleaned up put on a new suit, you know put on a

(57:14):
White shirt and go to church and pretend that I'm someone I'm not and I'm not saying that Mormons do this
I'm saying that some Mormons do this. I'm saying that some Catholics do this
I'm saying that every religion has these types and I don't believe that I need a place
To
believe what I choose to believe and to worship a God that I choose to believe in in the manner that I

(57:40):
Would like to do so that doesn't make me a horrible person
It makes me a person that doesn't now I've had arguments with my brothers with with plenty of people that go
Well, wait, Sam
You're not sharing your knowledge with other people at the church and your fellowship. It could be this. Okay
I I take that argument, but I would prefer not to be

(58:04):
And and I try not to judge people. I don't want to judge people
So therefore I'd prefer not to know and I would prefer not to be judged myself
So, I don't know what's right wrong or indifferent nor do I condemn anyone from their belief?
They can live the way they choose and I can live the way I choose. I believe that's what God intended. I

(58:27):
There is
You said it best just you just said it best we have to accept our own
Particular points of view for what they are, you know and and and Sam
That's why I continue to listen and tune in and dial in to your signal
because your signal is is worthy and and and and and

(58:53):
Good to tune into
Well, I'm very glad of that I like it
Yes, of course you do. And so what I try hard not to judge other people. I got my own problems
You could throw stones at me all day long
And so therefore I try not to throw them at others if you wish to be a I don't know what anything

(59:15):
But a murderer I you know people in in in in prison Jesus there
But for the grace of God and you know a cop turning the wrong turning right instead of left, you know
I'd be there. You know what I'm saying? It's and I don't I don't mean that but I mean

(59:35):
But it's but it's true though because
You know
Sometimes it's just luck of the draw, you know
And some of these people end up in horror story lives where the rest of us get to judge them and go
Geez, you know that guy's got a felony. Yeah. Well, trust me
I probably deserved a couple in my life and I don't have one so, you know count yourself lucky, you know

(01:00:01):
But deep down and in your soul of souls and your heart of hearts, you know the right thing
Well, of course and I can honestly tell you that I have never
Intentionally
Screwed one that didn't screw me first
You know what? I'm saying if somebody screwed me now there could be
Unintentional screwings did have happened and I'd do my damnedest to try to fix them. But never I must have I do have a

(01:00:28):
sometimes I have
gone after people who've gone after me and
You know, I don't like that, but I have done it in
No, I'm not a bad guy, I may not be the best but I'm not bad
Should you be a senator a congressman? Oh, hell no

(01:00:53):
Listen what is best for me is to I you know
what I would if I were to be able to have my druthers and do something it would be
to have
People like the fools that currently

(01:01:14):
You
foreign policy in
America and the whole West but this will never happen, you know, it's kind of a pointless endeavor
Have them because all of the so-called experts aren't remotely experts
Certainly not when it comes to Eastern Europe and Russia. They are they are

(01:01:38):
salesmen selling you a
Some some defective goods
So really quick. I I don't think it's a pointless endeavor Sam
You're you're doing you've been doing what you're doing for a long long time brother and listen
There's not very many people that listen closely to you as I do

(01:01:59):
You're you're you're intelligent. You're you're just a smart cat. Okay, so that
notwithstanding
There are songs that go on in the world, there's this guy that his name is Jackson Brown and
You love Jax, of course you do there are lives in the balance and you know, I hope you you know

(01:02:22):
Maybe exit your show with the song lives in the balance
There are so many things and there's only so few of us that that get it together
and it's it's up to us man you and me and you know, the the the
but
Mmm, I don't even know how to say it. There's only a few of us that are

(01:02:44):
Sharing the gospel and I don't mean that in God's way. I mean that in just the world's way
You know just sharing truth just sharing honesty and you do it, you know from your point of view. And so my
Question to you Sam is how better?
Can we share our?
Our

(01:03:05):
Thoughts how better how much what can we do to expand the word?
That is good. We'll share them share share
Everywhere send it out to other people, you know, like do you know?
and and sorry to do an about-face here, but you mentioned Jackson Brown and

(01:03:29):
JR
Took me to the Jackson Brown or allowed me a couple of tickets
I think he gave them to him 90% certainly gave me tickets and was down in the pit at the amphitheater last year
Sometime right two years ago might have been gone might have been too. I don't know but I
was in the pit during the last song and I have a pretty good phone and pretty good camera and

(01:03:57):
I filmed the last song
the oh, won't you stay, you know that one just a little bit longer and
That I posted it on my youtube page there's like
22
23,000 people that

(01:04:18):
that have watched that video and
Every you know once a year, so it'll pop up again and I'm just alarmed as I holy crap, you know, but it was an
Excellent video and if you you know, like a Jackson Brown, of course Jackson Brown
And so, you know you you post that up
He could have deleted it

(01:04:38):
But I think that mine got somewhat promoted because it turned out to be because of JR
I mean hell I was right down there in the front pit and it just
Something happened to make it seriously worthwhile
so it's it's people like you that listen and call in and say things and
and let people know about

(01:05:00):
Damn radio and about all the other people that speak on this on this
channel, you know Wednesday's a
Long day for us. It's when everybody comes and has you know, we have a good number of shows on
You know long radio day and I get to end it, you know
and and I like that that people listen we have a good number of folks that that listen and

(01:05:24):
You know, I I post mine
Part of me part of me thinks I do it too often
you know and that I should cut down and do it one day a week two days a week something like that and
cuz I
Don't know and a lot of times most of the time I have a couple hours to prepare and get the show ready
You know like Jackson Brown practices every day, you know, he has these good shows

(01:05:49):
Sometimes I get on and I'm just winging it, you know what I mean? And and I come up with stuff but but not every day
Sam you're doing the right thing brother and you're and your brother. I don't remember Matt or whatever his name Matthew
Yes
Matthew and then you what do you have a family of like 20?

(01:06:11):
12
12 children 12 children and mostly, you know, my father passed away in oh
7
My mom is my mom is still kicking in
She's 80. She's 85 and honoree as hell
Proud how proud she is of you guys

(01:06:32):
Well, she can't she she can still say cuz I have no idea but she can still say
how many
Grandchildren and great-grandchildren she has and that number is astronomical. She's got like
60 60 something
Grandkids in 90 something great-grandkids. He's close to a hundred and

(01:06:58):
Sam and and you're just one of many and and
So here's what I have to say for you and I'm gonna hang up because we've been it's been a long conversation
But you have to be so
thankful and so grateful for the for the
Matriarchy that that mother left for you, you know
And then and the patriarchy that your father God rest his soul

(01:07:22):
Left for you and now you are the guy that carries on that
legacy that is
Important brother. He was probably the best dude on the planet. You know what I mean?
He was just a good guy
He was a little bit of a perv, you know, my dad was a sexual, you know

(01:07:45):
I mean not a fag but a deviant, you know
That's with a lot of women
That's just the way he was and you know, I just have to you know, I was there
I'm never I've never been that way. I've only been a one
girl guy
How is my father fo sho?
Right a one a one woman one woman man, yeah

(01:08:07):
remember that song
it was by the
I'm not gonna remember it now, but
Norman Jackson a kid a guy a man that my son took
Lessons from Norman Jackson played it. What was that damn song? Damn it. It was my daddy left me a long ago

(01:08:28):
September 6, I don't know
What was that song I wish I didn't know that one
or if I do I don't recall it, but
so
Here's my point. My kid has been so influenced by so many people
Down around this area and now he's like one of the highest

(01:08:54):
renowned
Players ever and it's because of the people he met down around here
Norman Jackson
the Randall's war taste the
You know the all those guys down here
That's where he came from and now he's off out in the world playing playing

(01:09:17):
All over and it's outstanding
It is outstanding. What was that guy's name?
Me I
barely know my own name sometimes so
Well
It's it's been a long call. Thank you. Yes, sir. I appreciate your call

(01:09:40):
Certainly not on topic, but I enjoy it nevertheless and I thank you very much for your call
Very off-topic. Yep. Good night. You have a good night
Thank you
And there he goes well that was an interesting call I enjoyed it that was

(01:10:01):
Somewhat of a tiny walk down memory lane and an interesting
An interesting, what would you call it a stroll?
Through a different part of the forest very nice
I
Wanted to talk about the other night
I and and I'm finished on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, and I really hope that

(01:10:27):
Nothing horrific occurs there
Saner heads will prevail at some point and we will
Get rid of this war, you know, peace will prevail at some point
without
But
One very big but is

(01:10:50):
Moldova and Moldova is is
similar to the next Ukraine the next Bosnia the next King the next places that we talked about and
They're trying to change the laws to allow Ukraine and
Moldova to come in
around a veto
Instead of a unanimous vote to enter they're trying to change the rules and just say oh it just has to be a majority

(01:11:17):
to to change what's going on and
on that vein the
XUSAID chief
Is bragging about
funding a
Democratic bright spot in Moldova

(01:11:37):
American money
Helped president Maya Sandhu narrowly squeaked by at the ballot box
Said Samantha Power the former head of US Agency for International Development
American
Taxpayer money played a crucial role in keeping president Sandhu in power said Samantha power

(01:12:01):
Said Samantha power she said and it was a prank call
with Russian comedians Volvin and Lexus
Power who led USAID under President Biden was recorded and I was list
In fact, I kind of want to play it. Let me see if I can
find it for you because I had it a

(01:12:24):
second ago and
It it it's I think it's too long to fit in here
but I
Think we'll have to find it and play it for you tomorrow
And I had it up on my other computer and not on the studio computer so

(01:12:49):
Figuring out how to get it here is gonna be there
So I'll just tell you the story tonight and but maybe we'll play it tomorrow because geez
This is nonsense and here and maybe JR will play it during his show or something, but this is crap
She under under Biden. She was recorded speaking to these pranksters as they posed as

(01:13:11):
former Ukrainian president Piotr Poroshenko in the video released Wednesday
she reflected on her time overseeing an agency with
15,000 staff and a
multi-billion dollar budget and
cited
expanded aid to Moldova as

(01:13:32):
One of her successes now. I told you that in the mid 90s when I very first went to Moldova
I was on task from the military to
USAID and I got paid
my regular salary, you know, which is what you get anyway, you know and a

(01:13:55):
What do they call it per diem I got a daily rate of
$250 a day in
1993 or something like that and
This is during a time when the average Moldovan was earning $20 a month

(01:14:18):
Okay, you couldn't have spent that money in
Moldova in a year, you know
And it was I remember getting the money to go and go into my ex-wife and saying geez
They told me I gotta leave I'm begun like 18 weeks and when you leave for 18 weeks
They give you some percentage of it up front

(01:14:40):
You know when you go because you get a percentage there and at the end you turn in a final deal and then you get all
Your money, but they since they knew that I was gonna be getting
$250 a day for Jesus however many days that is
18 weeks long number of weeks is
You know, that's a hell of a lot of money, you know, and and I remember going home and given she's my ex-wife now

(01:15:04):
but giving her
Five six thousand bucks and going sorry, I gotta go, you know, I hope this
Eases your pain somewhat
And I know it's gonna ease mine because I'm going to a place where Jesus I'm gonna be fabulously wealthy for about a half
You know for about 18 weeks, you know, whatever that is three three four months almost we were there and it was

(01:15:28):
It was crazy
But and so they're passing money out like like crazy and I've heard that it's ten times worse over the years, right?
But here's what she says with her
15,000 staff and multi-billion dollar budget paying military interpreters
$250 a day per diem nonsense
This was not a country that USA ID had really much of a presence in

(01:15:55):
Very small presence we expanded it
Massively for the sake of Ukraine and also for Moldova
It was a Democratic bright spot with President Sandhu a Kennedy School graduate and a real
reformer
According to power Sandhu narrowly squeaked by the last time though

(01:16:18):
She didn't specify whether she was referring to last year's presidential election election or the recent
Parliamentary vote in Moldova
Sandhu and her party secured both contests with strong support from Moldovan expatriates in Washington
Western nations while failing to secure it a majority in the popular vote at home

(01:16:40):
So at home, they don't get a majority but people who live out of the country swing the vote
So the West is still in control of this lady
Who was educated where?
Kennedy School and then she gets to go over and basically she'll be the queen of Moldova right and anti-russia
We got to get you into
Into the EU, right?

(01:17:02):
This is what it's happening a lots of opposition figures have argued that the process is extremely skewed to limit turnout
And Sandhu who's a Romanian?
Citizen has faced criticism about what opponents describe as authoritarian tactics shutting down opposing media
Branding rivals as Moscow backed criminals that seems to go around we do it here in the u.s. To

(01:17:28):
She has maintained Moldova's path to the EU depends on her leadership
Yeah power said the Biden administration
folded tens of millions of dollars for Moldova into a broader
Ukraine aid
Appropriation requests and then she said that money went much much further in Moldova

(01:17:51):
Than it did in Ukraine because it is such a small country
You can just buy everybody off right? She also suggested people tend to associate Washington support with
arms and the and the Newland
Interference, but they overtook forms of more subtle they overlook. I'm sorry

(01:18:12):
Forms of more subtle support that she was talking about
former US
Undersecretary Victoria Newland is widely described as a key architect of the
2014 coup in Kiev and subsequent escalation of tensions with Russia Moscow
reiterated their own criticism of Sandhu after the latest victories, which foreign minister Lavrov branded as a blatant example of

(01:18:38):
Electoral fraud and I've been sharing it since before the election on Sunday about what they were gonna do and people going
Yeah, you've jailed anybody that opposes you real democracy, right?
Western style democracy you jail everyone and
And now Maya Sandhu. I wish I had that that

(01:19:02):
Audio to play for you, but I'll find it and it's still interesting. Maybe we'll listen to it tomorrow could be fun
so Poland is
now
rebuffing a demand by Zelensky about Russia
president
Carol Milwaukee has dismissed a call by Ukrainians

(01:19:22):
Ukraine's Zelensky for Western countries to try to close the Baltic Sea
Now Ukraine's not connected to the Baltic Sea, by the way to Russian vessels over concerns that they could be used for
launching drones
I'm telling you there is a ton of talk about Ukraine starting false flag operations and bombing Europe or

(01:19:45):
bombing Poland or sending drones or sending aircraft
Themselves to places and then blaming it on the Russians in order to escalate. It's it's getting serious
Russia's losing their asses and Russia Ukraine is losing their asses and so
Zelensky and the Ukrainians are getting more and more desperate

(01:20:08):
Officials in several EU countries in recent weeks have spoken of drones
Violating their country's airspace there have been speculations in the media that Russia could have been behind the incidents
Western governments have refrained from
Leveling accusations saying there is no evidence
But Poland has been a notable exception saying last month that Russian drones crossed its airspace

(01:20:34):
during strikes on Ukraine
Moscow rejected the claim and noted that Warsaw didn't provide any proof but on Sunday
Zelensky claimed that Russian forces were using oil tankers to launch drones against the EU and
Saying that this is more evidence. Why the Baltic Sea and other seas must be closed to Russian tankers

(01:21:01):
Speaking on the radio on Monday Naroki rejected that demand he concurred that Russian activity is
Concerning he stressed that we're waiting for an analysis from the military such decisions are not made based on Zelensky's words
Brussels and Western governments sought to tackle what they call Russia's shadow fleet

(01:21:21):
Which they claim is used to circumvent sanctions
Well more power to Moscow has called Western sanctions illegal
Warning that any attempts to restrict freedom of the sea including the Baltic will be met with appropriate response
EU officials have also been discussing creation of a
Drone wall in fact they stole Russia's it stole two more billion of Russia's money to assist in creation of this

(01:21:50):
They want to build a drone wall along the Russian border to be able to neutralize unidentified unauthorized UAVs
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov criticized the idea saying that building walls is always bad as history shows
It is very regrettable that this militaristic
confrontational policy of Ukraine may now lead to further divisions

(01:22:14):
Yeah
I'm open that people listen to my
Reading of
the Russian
Representative to the UN after Zelensky and
Rubio spoke
the other day if

(01:22:37):
You get a chance and you or you haven't heard it
You should probably go back and listen to the Russian response
To what Zelensky and Rubio put out
It is
absolutely accurate and
not full of

(01:22:57):
BS like Zelensky's and Rubio's
It's pretty sad that we have a complete inability to tell the truth in the West and
certainly
Politicize
Absolutely everything especially about this war there was a

(01:23:21):
Piece that was talking about Russia and
the real
reason
Behind the u.s. I need to find this article again, and I'll try to find it and bring it bring it back to us
I think because I would like to read it, but the gist of this article went as follows

(01:23:44):
The u.s. Is creating a I don't know a
Pretext let's call it for going into Venezuela
Why?
So that long term they can put their the u.s. His own peacekeeping sorts of things

(01:24:08):
Into Venezuela, why is this important from this story, okay?
Because Venezuela is
one of the largest
Untapped well, it's tapped as well, but but there's plenty more oil
and
If the u.s. Can go to just like Iraq let's go in and we'll control it for the West right

(01:24:35):
we pick on these countries that allegedly can't you know defend themselves and
then go in and
Funnel the that's what everybody accused George Bush of right funneling the oil which is
Find out later there aren't any weapons of mass destruction
You know they were always talking about them their terrorizers. We got like Matt would say we got to go after them

(01:25:00):
they're terrorizers and
The argument is that the same thing is happening even now with the u.s.
Nonsensical blowing up boats in the water and saying it's
Narco-terrorism or whatever that's coming from you know the G's are bringing fentanyl to us

(01:25:21):
I thought it was China that was doing all that now. It's not China. It's
Venezuela you know this that's creative right?
I I didn't like it from the very first ship that was blown out of the water and said oh
Yeah, we killed three drug addicts or drug dealers
We're just supposed to believe that you couldn't pull up stop the boat get out arrest them and

(01:25:47):
Seize the boat and seize the drugs and destroy them without killing them send them to prison do something like that
Send them to the El Salvador prisons. They've been collecting a lot of drug dealers are there right?
Instead we destroy all evidence
Not once not twice now three times we've blown up boats in international waters

(01:26:13):
just on the say-so of
Whoever say so we're taking today to blow them up. That is just wrong
Whether you're guilty of something or not you don't just get blown up
You don't just well here you go. I've decided. You know the king the king gets to do it. Just like

(01:26:33):
You know 500 years ago in England well the king said you stole his
His deer Robin Hood. I guess you got a fry you know and
There you got a hang. That's how it works. You know well, but what about a trial?
Formality nobody needs that we all know you did it so

(01:26:53):
Let's screw all that, but you know that is not how the world is supposed to work
So the argument is that the u.s.. Is creating this scenario
Where they get to go and invade in Venezuela so that ultimately it impacts even further
Russia's oil

(01:27:14):
Because if the u.s.. Can take it and curtail the pricing it would take a little while to affect a price a year or two
According to the article that I read and I'm no expert on it
But they say that if they could curtail it it would force the price it or maybe it was increased
I don't know. I wish I had the article in front of me that they say

(01:27:36):
Affect impact the oil market to such a degree that it impacts Russia
So that there is increased pressure on Russia because the u.s.. Is endgame is still hegemony
It's still Ukraine. It's still we need to control the planet

(01:27:56):
And if we lose you know we're we're running out of rope in this
Ukraine war we are
Losing we're losing with other people dying for it, but it's not Ukraine. That's losing
It's we are the West are losing and it's it's Europe is losing

(01:28:17):
It's the deep state that's losing its hegemony that is losing and I'm
It's an interesting concept whether it's true or not or needs
Something a little bit more to to dig into I'll try to find the article so for tomorrow's show
Which by the way last in the week already this week is just flown by I will try to find the

(01:28:46):
Oil
Allegations of Venezuela, I'll try to find that and I will try to find this
nutty lady this Samantha power
that
And her and her audio of what
She of her prank phone call, and I listened to it all earlier, but I got to be able to find it

(01:29:10):
Just I did want to say one more thing there was a pretty powerful
6.9 magnitude earthquake in the Philippines that occurred today and
You know hope that everybody's okay over there. It's been
Pretty bad deal from what I can see on the news and that'll cover it for tonight
