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

(00:09):
Hello, good evening. Welcome. I am hoping that you can hear me properly
Jr. If you would endeavor to send me a text if uh, it's not coming in, right? It's been a while
Since I came in remotely it all looks right on the meters, I believe
But uh, we want to make sure that it's all okay

(00:30):
And uh that everything is going the way it's supposed to
And I think it is
but uh
Can't tell for sure at any rate. Hello. Good evening. Welcome. Very glad to be here tonight. Lots of news, uh and events
in the world and uh, if you haven't been keeping track, there's plenty of

(00:54):
Discussion about the old trumpster's 28 point
peace plan
um
And there's also some information
the center of gravity
Here you go. The world can go on without the united state
according to mark carney
oh, shouldn't we all be just very happy that mark carney is is is

(01:20):
Speaking about us in such a manner. He um
He's a very
well-spoken individual
Washington did not overestimate its role in the international arena
Says canadian prime minister mark carney. He adds that a wide range of issues could be resolved

(01:41):
without us involvement
the economic
center of gravity says he
Is shifting away from america
He told journalists on the sidelines
Of the g20 summit over the weekend where the big three presidents trumpster
putin
xi jinping did not show up, but we got to hear from uh,

(02:06):
Uh, you know, mr. Carney from canada. That's important. The u.s. Skipped the meeting
held in johannesburg
south africa
President trump accused that country south africa of perpetrating
Genocide against white farmers and he said that's why he isn't going

(02:28):
Washington also said that only a chairman's summary could be released following the summit because
The u.s. Was not present
So the g20 issued a declaration on sunday anyway
The meeting brought together nations representing three quarters of the world's population

(02:50):
two-thirds of the global gdp
And three quarters of the world's trade
And that's without the united states formally attending said carney on sunday
It should be and he said it is
A reminder that the center of gravity in the global economy

(03:10):
is shifting
well
I tend to agree with him in that
In a in in some respects and that we need to play better with others
But I also think it's kind of rich coming from carney. So according to the prime minister
Decisions reached by the g20 members during the meeting could still carry some weight

(03:34):
Despite the u.s. Boycott
He said that canada is seeking to strengthen its ties with a variety of nations
Including according to the genius carney including south africa india and china
So russia sent a presidential

(03:54):
Representative maximo reshkin who led the moscow delegation at the summit and said it was a success
He added that his team
had a lot of constructive communication
With friendly nations and even received some proposals on economic
cooperation and joint projects

(04:16):
from unfriendly
countries as well
so south african president cyril
ramaphosa
stated that ahead of the the summit the g20
is moving forward and
Will not be bullied and he added that the u.s

(04:37):
Decision to boycott the meeting
was their own
loss
so
That I suppose is is the top important news, huh?
You think that's important the g20 meeting?
Or should we go back to my favorite which has all kinds of uh,

(04:58):
Uh world news involved everybody around the world is interested in this
There's been commentary all over
um
Youtube and everywhere else, you know what I wanted to say and I forgot to remember how I usually say
Uh, I am coming to you

(05:20):
Live from the real estate of the art studio
I'm coming to you live
tonight
from the
parking lot
of the staybridge hotel
in nashville, tennessee
On my way to florida going to florida
for the uh

(05:42):
thanksgiving
Holiday and gonna be down there. So i'm uh
Back to broadcasting on the road hoping that the sound is coming through in a reasonably good fashion
It appears to be on the meter so we shall see if jr has said anything about uh
About it. Nope. He hasn't probably not listening. Ah

(06:04):
let us all
um
Have a single tear roll down our cheats because jr isn't listening to my show then again, he might be
only
only
only text will tell
um, well I wanted to
go into
The all of the talk has been about these meetings at the g20

(06:27):
These talks that are going to be held in geneva and i'm wondering if they're so
Intent on this being geneva. I don't understand that at all
but um
That's that is where it's going to be. They're they're being held in geneva
and so
Uh, it's ukrainian officials. I hear that. Um

(06:50):
Um
The old, uh the team that's showing up in
Geneva for the u.s. It's the u.s. Secretary of state marco rubio
Secretary of the army dan driscoll
and special envoy steve wittkopf

(07:11):
Are meeting with the ukrainian delegation
in geneva
As president trump's deadline looms
Well trump said today that uh, even though kiev was only given until thursday to accept his 28 point plan
Which we spoke quite a bit about on thursday evening

(07:32):
um in my my prior program
all 28 points laid out
that he could be
according to the washington post today that he could be
A little flexible on whether they're going to accept it or not
By the way, if you do wish to call in, um

(07:54):
You still should be able to 5 7 3 7 4 6 80 20 as long as I can
get the um
As long as I can can connect you and i'm pretty sure I can
Connect you if you chose to call
Um, but it doesn't matter
Doesn't matter it matters if you call I will try to get to it and it does matter

(08:18):
I do like to have callers on the show and I do like to speak with them
But the deadline is allegedly thanksgiving day
This thursday is the deadline for the z monster to accept the plan
Now europe is all up in arms and say that they can't live with the u.s. Getting all the money
um from russia's frozen assets

(08:41):
um
um
ukraine, of course is somewhat up in arms, but even the washington post acknowledged that
The reason that this plan is looming large
Is big and and trump what did he say last week? He was out in either in the white house or headed toward. Um
uh

(09:02):
Air force one or to his his helicopter or whichever it was he was on his way
Uh somewhere and you know how the gaggle always grabs him and tries to get him to answer your question
They said what what's going to happen if zelensky doesn't accept and he said well, he can just keep fighting his little heart out
And let him keep on fighting but allegedly according to the post

(09:25):
that the
plan calls for
terminating at that point
Money, but more importantly money in arms, but more importantly terminating
United states
providing
military intelligence
That would be a big deal

(09:45):
If the u.s stopped providing intelligence to ukraine
Frankly, I think they should have been cut off a long time ago
um, and the post said today that basically
They think that
this
Is the fact that a kiev that ukraine is losing their ass on the battlefield

(10:09):
it's finally getting people to
Trump's especially to make a move and the statement on a couple of
programs on
Youtube and on some news that i've been listening to have been that if trump pulls this off

(10:30):
He is officially
the greatest negotiator in history
and the reason for that is because
he will be um
Getting
a victory
Not for russia
Not for ukraine. Certainly, uh, you know ukraine will be losing their asses

(10:56):
Russia will be losing 300 billion dollars in assets and
You know and some other things as well
but the u.s
wins huge, you know because we get
We don't lose anything europe gets nothing. They're completely forgotten and I can see that as a potential

(11:19):
um
I I can understand the argument that it's a big
A big victory for the united states, uh, but I also think
It stops the bleeding
for ukraine
um, but
They get they also get you know, a lot of russia's money that trump gets to

(11:45):
push
Into ukraine, but even bigger than that
Is much bigger than the money much bigger than all that is there was an economist
united states economist professor that was a guy in the reagan administration
that stated today
that

(12:06):
He estimates that 360 billion dollars have gone to ukraine
Oh, oh, it's just in the last three years and we're not talking the billions that went from 2014
until
2022
Eight years of nobody paying attention and all kinds of ukrainians getting wealthy

(12:31):
um
because that money does tend to trickle down to use a famous reaganism
and so there are tons of people that benefited from that but
Just since 2022
360 billion dollars from various countries around the world

(12:54):
and the estimate is
that 15
to 20
percent of that
Went in the pockets of corrupt
Actors all over the globe not just in ukraine
So that's not counting the corrupt us people that isn't counting the corrupt europeans

(13:15):
And that doesn't even begin to address the corrupt
um
Ukrainians, which is literally at least 20 percent in my opinion
of the money that comes in and you can't trust the
360 billion either because if they say it's only 360 billion

(13:36):
It's probably been five to six hundred billion because they never tell the truth on how much money is going in there either
and so
the the fact is there are some
huge amounts of money that we are talking about here and
it's uh, it's

(13:57):
probably
uh
very
There's a lot of money that's been stolen
And so
The europeans are all up in arms and they don't want to lose out on this other 300 billion that russia has sitting around
And who's going to get it?

(14:17):
america or 50 of the profits on top of that and the uh,
Europeans aren't even addressed. So this plan according to um,
Uh
Many well the deadline was until thursday to accept the plan
But trump has has said just in over the weekend that you know, we're not going to hold him to this solid deadline

(14:42):
but this um
button submission of this 28 point plan by leaking it somewhere
it uh
Weakens alinsky a lot because basically he's being told that he has to accept it
And they released an alleged draft of the text

(15:02):
And it it triggered turmoil everywhere
Kiev's european backers are scrambling and western media is calling their reaction an emergency
response
Tensions are high
Concern is growing over zalensky's ongoing corruption scandals
while the kremlin

(15:23):
Is refusing to engage in what it calls megaphone diplomacy
And that's following a series of vocal declarations of defiance
from brussels on friday
european council president antonio costa
Admitted that the eu hadn't even been informed about the plan
And zalensky held an emergency call with emmanuel macron

(15:47):
Peter starmer and friedrich mertz and and those three did a little bit of a presser while on the
Uh in south africa at the g20 they all got together and did a little um tv blurb about um
about how
they didn't they didn't think this should should

(16:10):
Uh be done without the involvement of europe and europe not getting any of the
300
Billion dollars of russian money that is sitting around out there
And there was the news
Part that said, um, so the the various, um

(16:31):
Discussions over this. Where did they start?
Um, because there's they've been trying to keep
updating
the timeline
And what they put in here and this this to me
Is troubling. It's not as troubling as
the

(16:51):
Um
Uh hunter biden
Involvement in ukraine, but this is still troubling
Um, and this came out at 11 p.m
Russian time, so this would have been
about
Uh 4 p.m

(17:12):
uh
Missouri time, okay
And so about 4 p.m
It came out that trump's son-in-law
Jared kushner
Is part of the u.s delegation in geneva
And uh, there's a photo of him at the meeting
And kushner is believed to have played a key role in u.s diplomacy in the middle east as well

(17:39):
And uh, you know elsewhere as well, but I don't know. I don't really like that
Nepotism sort of thing. I just don't like it
Um, and then a little bit later, maybe 20 30 minutes after that
Said a member of the ukrainian delegation
um
Actually, uh broke his pen, you know snapped it in half in other words during talks with the u.s delegation

(18:06):
basically, they're being told they got to accept or
Or else and that's probably just bs that's probably just you know, it broke but it does look broken, you know
Somebody actually took a picture of it
And but that'd have to be somebody leaking it because there's no press in there, you know, nobody's in there
and uh

(18:27):
so
I don't know
um, there was also something and I hope jr gets into this in his show tomorrow because i'll be listening if he is
And I want to hear about what um
What he knows about this or if he knows anything new?

(18:48):
So there was the article that came out, um today that says trump's doge doesn't exist anymore
uh at all
Um, I thought it still existed, but it was just not public anymore and that elon musk wasn't a part of it
But I don't know maybe jr knows or he's talked about it before and i've just missed it

(19:09):
But the story is that the department of energy and government official fish
Efficiency has disbanded. Um eight months ahead of when it was supposed to end
Uh donald trump launched the agency with a hell of a lot of publicity
after taking office in january

(19:30):
And said it would be a sweeping effort to slash federal waste bureaucracy
Um, he tapped elon musk to be the czar of it
And the u.s. Office of personnel management the government's human resources
Office has taken over many of doge's functions said reuters

(19:51):
um when asked about doge status
um director scott cooper said
That doesn't exist any longer the agency is no longer a centralized entity
Said the news outlet and uh key doge employees
Have reportedly been absorbed into other sections of the u.s. Government

(20:15):
And the trump administration has not admitted that the agency has been disbanded
Ahead of its uh, decreed termination in july of next year
However, the president has long switched
To referring to doge in the past tense according to reuters
Suspicion about the agency's future began in june

(20:38):
When there was a feud between musk and trump and his big beautiful bill and blah blah blah
at this stage the agency
Is facing legal pushback against its efforts in september ap said the white house had moved to rehire
Hundreds of federal employees that let go during the push. So right back to business as usual

(21:03):
um
Who who can tell we don't know if that's true or not
but um
it's
certainly
Irritating to me that uh that these things get started and um, and don't don't finish
um

(21:23):
Meanwhile the white house is seeking to freeze billions
In foreign aid. I hope this comes out
Donald trump has asked the supreme court to freeze 4.9
billion
in foreign assistance
Move follows a ruling last week
by district judge amir ali

(21:44):
Who said the administration cannot withhold billions of aid that congress already approved?
But under the constitution only congress can decide how money is spent
And the executive branch is required to carry out these appropriations
So solicitor general
john sawyer

(22:05):
Filed an emergency application of the supreme court monday
Warning that ali's ruling raises a grave and urgent threat to the separation of powers
trump asked congress to cancel the 4.9 billion, which it was
Appropriated for state department and u.s. Agency for international development

(22:27):
foreign assistance
and I think there was a
Ruling by alito, but I can't find it
um, I thought I read that alito had
Overturned that decision, but I haven't been able to find the article and I can't remember where I read it, but

(22:48):
Don't hold me to that because I haven't seen it
But since the escalation in ukraine in 2022
The u.s. Has sent billions to kiev most of it through u.s. Agency for international development
And trump and other u.s. Officials claim that large portions
Were lost according to mismanagement and corruption

(23:10):
And did not ever reach the intended recipients
so
USAid is allegedly still shut down saying it's got radical lunatics and blah blah blah
Who knows where it ended up? I think that that money was gone
and that it was uh

(23:30):
That that is uh officially gone
But there you go. Um, here's one for you that I that I am quite interested in. I don't like this anyway
nearly
200 000
Ukrainians might lose the right to stay in the u.s. Now, this is more just um

(23:55):
I don't know what you would call it a public whip or media whipping up the public
in my opinion, but
the article says
200 000 ukrainians could lose their status
um because of washington's border security crackdown
The humanitarian ukrainian refugee program you for you plan was launched

(24:19):
shortly after february
2022
and it allowed about
260 000
Ukrainians to enter the country for an initial two-year period
President trump paused the processing
Of applications and renewals early this year as part of a broader freeze on

(24:42):
nationality-based
humanitarian programs
But in march trump said he was considering revoking ukrainian legal status
Entirely, but did not do so in may processing renewals was resumed
but immigration officials processed only
1900 renewal applications

(25:04):
for ukrainians and other nationalities since then
Representing a fraction of those with expiring status
Meanwhile those waiting for decisions on getting an extension
Can be detained by immigration authorities once the status expires
So across europe public and political support for hosting ukrainians is definitely declining

(25:31):
You know, not a lot of people are interested in this anymore
And in august germany, which has over get this number folks
Germany has over
1.25 million
ukrainian refugees
They announced plans to reduce the welfare payments. Those ukrainians are receiving

(25:54):
Because they can't sustain it in their budget. So
polish officials
Recently said the same thing
And they're talking about the scale of the support giving all this freebies to ukrainians and president carol naraki
Suggested this month that preferential treatment for them could end as well

(26:16):
and in the uk
authorities have increasingly denied long-term protection
And working visas for ukrainians saying that western regions of ukraine
Are now safe. So go back home
Several million ukrainians fled the country over the last three years 4.4

(26:37):
million have received temporary protection in the eu
So get this russia said
That 5.5 million ukrainians have arrived in russia
by the end of
2023
Three
And there's two more years after that. I haven't seen any recent numbers on what that is

(27:00):
either but many have left not only because of the conflict but because of mobilization practices
and and this, uh
Confrontation between draft officers and you know, the beatings that they're taking and all of that
um
you know that is
that is

(27:21):
A huge number russia has taken more than europe 5.5
Million of them have applied for russian passports. So on a personal note, I I know that uh in florida
there
Where I where I live in florida, there are tons and tons of ukrainians

(27:41):
And there's a lot of ukrainians that come over and left because they were russian
in ukraine
And not just ukraine
But they had ukrainian passports, but they were russians because that's where their families were
When the soviet union collapsed, but they're all russian. They speak russian. They're russian orthodox all of this and they came

(28:08):
here
but since they have ukrainian
Passports they some of them cannot go back to russia
And so when they try to go to russia they face all kinds of questions about that
And they you know, you can't have a dual
Russian ukrainian, I mean you can but but it's it's hard to do

(28:28):
And so a lot of people are fearful of going back to ukraine to get mobilized
but they're in fear of going to russia because then they fear they fear being somewhat
Targeted. I don't think it's really that big a deal in russia
I think there's a hell of a lot more that go there because they don't
Like what's going on?

(28:48):
In ukraine, and they don't want to be mobilized, but they all have relatives in russia
And so it's I don't know. It's a tough tough issue and this war needs to be done
And america needs to be out of it, but there's a guy an ambassador
named
Alexander darchaev, okay the indefinite

(29:12):
Postponement of the russian-american summit
Remember that one which was supposed to take place in budapest, which was discussed after
The meeting with alaska in between trump and putin
and
There was a later second meeting at the white house when

(29:33):
The old z monster showed up. So the russian ambassador to the us is alexander darchaev
And so there was he was being interviewed and one of the questions was donald trump claimed that the us will conduct nuclear tests
Very soon. I remember i'm very much interested in this in this topic because of my past

(29:56):
And the question is how will this affect russian-american relations and strategic stability?
moscow's initiatives to extend
the strategic arms reduction treaty start
With a prolonged pause in response
And that expires february 5 of 2026

(30:17):
So here's darchaev's response. The situation is a paradox
The american administration has still not provided an official explanation
Requested by the russian foreign ministry as to whether the u.s. President is referring to
live tests involving detonations of nuclear warheads

(30:40):
or
well, which would effectively bury the arms control regime that the americans themselves have destroyed
Or the test of new delivery systems. This leaves a lot of room for speculation
and insinuation
If the americans argue that they need to carefully analyze the russian initiative

(31:03):
In order to maintain the limits
established by the new start treaty for one year after its
expiration
A process can be completed quickly and without negotiation
Then creating
uncertainty around this issue of international security and strategic stability

(31:23):
Does not contribute to mutual
trust and cost
I'm, sorry cast doubt on the american side's
responsible approach
But it is worth noting that the potential resumption of nuclear testing in the u.s. Has drawn sharp criticism
Not only from donald trump's political opponents

(31:46):
But from experts in the professional community who warn of serious negative consequences surrounding such a move
Claims that russia and china remember when trump said that both russia and china were conducting
Nuclear tests they aren't but uh, he claimed they were

(32:07):
That they're testing nuclear weapons and that america must follow suit are completely unfounded. That's true
Um such reversals by the current administration
Are driven by the desire to ensure
u.s. Military superiority
In moscow, however, they are viewed calmly in the light of the break few breakthrough models

(32:30):
Of the latest weapons developed in recent years which provide reliable security for our country. He's talking about russia
We've always been willing to engage in honest and equal dialogue
On this vitally important issue while strictly observing russia's national interests
However, it is important to recognize that the conditions for dialogue will only be met when we observe positive changes

(32:58):
in washington's policy
Towards russia. Well, I say that it is getting
A little more positive with what is going on
Recently
Uh as far as russia and with trump, I I believe that russia is holding the upper hand once again

(33:18):
as far as uh
Talks with the united states as opposed to uh ukraine being you know, um
Forced into something
I'm, not sure how this will end and there's been a a decent amount of talk on the russian side
About how the 28-point plan might not be

(33:43):
All it's cracked up to be but at least they've said they could. Um
Work with it, you know what I mean that they could that's a good starting point and it's it's really um
russia gains
almost
All of the donbass they have all of uh, um

(34:05):
Uh
Donetsk
I'm, sorry. They have all of lugansk and most of donetsk
and uh, they want to
Create the rest turn the rest of it, which is about 15 20 percent
of donetsk maybe
10 to 15 more like it
Um that would turn into a buffer zone

(34:27):
That russia would have to withdraw from
And it would be
Demilitarized and they're talking that uh that an actual wall would be built around them. No, i'm not for walls, frankly
Um, i'm not for i'm for border
Security, but i'm not for walls. Um, so I don't know. I don't know how that turns out. Um,

(34:50):
Anyway, there was another question. Um for
uh
The ambassador alexander darchaev and it was the stalled negotiation
process and trump's cancellation of the proposed summit
In budapest indicate that washington is backed off the ukrainian issue
Can we say that positive momentum of the anchorage summit?

(35:15):
Has been exhausted expired
And darchaev says so this is this is what got me interested darchaev says not at all the significance of the personal meeting
between vladimir putin
And donald trump now back in the white house
Uh lies in the fact that the two leaders negotiate on equal terms and try to find common ground

(35:39):
This is interesting coming from the russian ambassador. So and and uh, and and I think
He's been pretty he's being pretty straight up about it
So just because the dialogue is stalled does not mean it is stopped
contacts at various levels continue
And this requires patience and persistence

(35:59):
Well, I think russia has been
very patient
um at the same time
Of course one cannot ignore the pressure that is exerted by the deep state
Imagine an ambassador talking about the deep state
And its representatives in power who oppose donald trump
They the deep state are pushing the president to increase its pressure on moscow

(36:25):
Which is futile in order to force the russians to immediately
these hostilities
And save the linsky's regime
furthermore the fundamental principles of trumpism
america first
and peace through strength
Imply the necessity of robust negotiation to eliminate accumulated

(36:48):
Irritants rather than relying on personal chemistry that has developed between the leaders
however bumps and pitfalls of such a disillusioned dialogue, which I
Reiterate is taking place outside of the public's eye and away from channels exposed in the media
Should not distract from the main point

(37:10):
As great powers russia and the united states are doomed to agree
on at least a
non-confrontational
Coexistence this has been understood by soviet and american leaders
When they established diplomatic relations in 1933
Following donald trump's inauguration the presidents of our countries also recognized this

(37:35):
When they agreed in a telephone call on february 12th
That they would seek to normalize
the russian american agenda
Um, i'm impatient for this myself. That's the end of his answer, by the way, but i'm impatient for this
I know there's been talks about it, but I haven't

(37:57):
Seen as much movement as I would like to see and that is a little frustrating to me
And it was apparently to the person because the question follow-up was this what is the current status of consultations on
your irritants in the bilateral relations
these were initiated by the previous administrations and

(38:19):
The irritancy means which is the war and given the new circumstances
were intended to facilitate swift removal
Of existing bans and restrictions on operations of diplomatic missions from both countries
This has not yet happened. Furthermore the conditions for issuing

(38:41):
Visas to russians have become more stringent. Why?
Well, it's not all that easy to get a visa
To get to russia either that I gotta tell you it's not all that easy. It's a it's a
Somewhat difficult to do so it's it's it's it's so i've done it three times

(39:03):
Four times yeah four times since uh, 2020
and
Several times before that but that was back in the 90s and it was usually done by somebody else
Instead of me. I didn't really have to go there but to get a russian visa as an american isn't all that simple either

(39:24):
And you uh, so so first so one time I had to drive from missouri all the way to washington dc
To go to the consulate which is you know in washington dc. It's in it's on the virginia side
I forget where but but it's uh, maybe 20 minutes outside of dc proper, right?
And you go to the to the consulate which is in a neighborhood. It's not near the embassy at all

(39:49):
And you go to uh this consulate and it's uh, literally
all
A four hour five hour wait to try to get in
And you have to have an appointment days in advance to get in and that's not easy to create
So it takes you a while to create the appointment to get in

(40:11):
And that was in dc
So then I had to get another one and that one I tried to get
And uh, it said it was easier for me to go from
Missouri to houston, so I went all the way to houston
There it was a tiny bit easier, but it was still a pain in the rear end and

(40:32):
They went through the documents. It wasn't as full. There weren't as many people and we got it done
Now you pay your certain amount whatever the fee is to get your visa hundred and seventy five dollars something like that
You got to have your photos
Specific and the way they do it, you know
Similar to us passport sort of thing, but the russian sizes are all different

(40:56):
And so the russian sides are different the paper sizes are different, you know
You don't have eight and a half eleven
You have like a 10 paper that you got to print everything on and all that stuff anyway
And you have to send in your passport with it to get this done. So you send your passport in
Several weeks before so you're without a passport and your passport is located in the russian

(41:19):
Consulate in houston or in dc, wherever you go. Well, I did that and then so
Between so so the first time taking my trip and driving to uh,
Washington dc from missouri. I mean, what does that cost you you get a hotel for two nights?
You you drive and and I like to drive or you can fly and do whatever I can't remember

(41:40):
I think I flew to houston, but I I can't remember
Um, and I think I flew down there because you know big airport right there
And um, but either way, you know, what do you got a two three hundred dollar, um airline ticket
a hotel for a night and um
And the fee for buying your visa well

(42:02):
In florida. Did I get that in florida? I got a nope. I was still in missouri when I got this. So so the um,
The last time I got a visa and this visa
Current visa that I have expires like in april of next year and I want to go one more time before it expires
but this time
I got all the paperwork together

(42:25):
I found a russian visa
process
Expert speaks russian a russian speaking person
um
A russian who's connected with this
a government somehow
That was in miami
and

(42:45):
Paid I can't remember it was some ungodly amount of money
But by the time you don't have to drive you don't have to get a hotel
You don't have to be gone for three days. It costs like 750 bucks, but they pretty much guaranteed
Your success they said you will have a visa and it will be a three-year visa
I was like really they said yeah, if you don't get it, we give your money back. I was like, oh, well that sounds

(43:10):
Reasonable to me. So I paid the money sent in my passport
Uh, it's still you still had to send your passport and all the stuff and you and you ship it off and off it goes
And and you get your passport back
Uh three weeks later something like that. It all comes in the mail
It's all you know, well documented and you send it in but you get it back and the visa is put in your

(43:35):
passport like uh
Because your picture's got to be on it
It's got to be an on and now there's a little bit of way to get the the paperwork before you go
but I don't know if any of you travel and if in it's um
It's it's interesting. You have to have visas in a lot of places as an american
It's less number than in other places like russians have to go through this to get to america

(43:57):
They have to go through this to get to europe. They have to go through this to get to a number of countries
and the u.s has one of the
Least restrictive passports around but I think I did a show on this. Uh,
Several weeks ago that said we were in the um
In the bottom

(44:17):
Well, we were no longer in the top 10. We're like number 12 or 13 or something in our in in our uh,
Uh passport that you can go places without a visa
And they charge you but it changes all the time too like the first time I went to turkey
You had to get online and get a visa first time. I went to australia

(44:39):
You had to get online line and get a visa
And pay the money, you know to register before you get on the plane
Because it needs to be sent to you and it's all an electronic process and you get it done
So I wanted to know about these visa processes
and they're talking about these
Bilateral deals that the countries have been making and and it came up when they were talking about the the irritants

(45:06):
And so this question
By this interviewer to darchaev about the irritants. These are some of the irritants and his answer went as follows
after this
Uh interviewer followed up on the irritant part of the deal
He said the dialogue on irritants has been ongoing and certain improvements

(45:28):
Have been achieved to date. However, these do not change the restrictive system imposed by joe biden
Because biden didn't talk to anybody for three and a half years
They merely mitigate his most objectionable
Aspect for example the notification regime for diplomatic mission staff

(45:50):
traveling outside
25 mile free movement zone has been relaxed
Previously permission had to be obtained for each instance of crossing the zone
but now
Permission is only required
for travel outside of the agreed quota

(46:11):
now
Relaxations within the quota have been introduced for business and for tourism travel
You correctly note that the issuance of regular visas are citizens
Who the americans serving in moscow?
They don't serve them in moscow shut down the consulate

(46:31):
Um due to lack of personnel because we pulled everybody back
And so there are no operating consulates in moscow or in russia at all
And you only have the the embassy and the embassy was severely limited. So russians can't get visas. It's very difficult
so he says
um

(46:52):
They're now limited to consular
sections of embassies in astana and warsaw
Where a schengen visa is required. So a schengen visa is a visa that allows
um
A foreigner, uh to go all over europe and so russians have to have them
Ukrainians have to have them but they've limited that when they

(47:15):
Become the eu and certainly when russia went so there's a lot of visa free travel for ukrainians in europe
But it used to be that ukrainians and russians had to have schengen visas which cover all of europe, right?
and so now for a russian to get an
American visa before they used to be able to go to the american consulate in moscow

(47:38):
And there were a couple other ones and I forget the cities they were in but they were there were several inside of russia
Um where russians could go but now they can't and the embassy didn't do them
They were they were curtailed. And so these uh ambassador these embassies are now
Authorizing authorized to take russian visa stickers

(48:02):
in the us embassies in astana and warsaw poland
and
but
the russian people
Can't get to warsaw, which is an eu nation. They can't get there without a schengen visa
So they have to get a schengen visa first and then a us visa and that doubles the length of time

(48:25):
They got away. So he's just pointing that out. It says at the same time the situation
With diplomatic and service visas has improved a little bit. This is somewhat given
the mass expulsion
Of russian diplomatic staff that was initiated by washington
under the biden years followed by

(48:47):
retaliatory measures which ultimately led to a shortage of personnel on both sides because um
After the u.s. Expelled a bunch of russians the russians expelled a bunch of the united states
Incidentally despite the smaller staffs the working regime of depleted consular offices did not change

(49:08):
During the aforementioned consultations on these irritants the parties agreed to ensure uninterrupted
banking services for diplomats
They committed not to block financial transactions
With appropriate exemptions from sanctions
This is the primary concern of the united states who was sanctioning everybody, right?

(49:32):
um, but progress stalled in this regard, um,
Because they have failed to address the root cause of the abnormal state of bilateral relations
Which hinder the normalization process envisaged by the presidents meaning trump and putin
The u.s. State department
Categorically refuses to discuss the return of six properties that have been confiscated

(49:57):
From the russian federation and are now being treated as someone else's private property
the american special services which have taken the properties under their
Protection are illegally denying access to the russian ambassador
and to russian diplomats
similarly the linking

(50:18):
By linking the commencement of meaningful discussions on this matter to a resolution in ukraine
The u.s. Is responding to the suggestion of resuming
Direct air links like an aeroflot which was told also told they couldn't fly
Which washington suspended following the commencement of the special?

(50:40):
military operation
And the guy says the interviewer then says is there any hope that this dialogue will get off the ground
because nothing's been done on it at all and he says
We are not giving up. We are urging the state department
Negotiating team not to narrow the dialogue on these irritants

(51:02):
Contrary to the task set by the presidents. It is important not to limit ourselves to these visa issues and day-to-day
Practicalities of ensuring the functioning of diplomatic missions, but rather to focus on restoring
Normality more broadly. The first step is to return to december 16

(51:24):
What 2016 when barack obama frustrated by hillary clinton's defeat in the presidential election?
Initiated the russian-american diplomatic war and that's true. He really did
We are now painfully dealing with the consequences of this we will continue to work persistently

(51:45):
in this direction
so talk about um
What do you call it a sore loser remember when obama went and uh
scratched all the russian consulates and and terminated a whole bunch of
of
diplomatic channels and positions because hillary clinton lost and it was all due to

(52:08):
russia gate remember
um, and it was all due to russia, so he he
took a very big
approach to uh
to beat up on
Uh russia in that way
so
Did you hear about this one i've found this one, uh

(52:31):
very weird
and uh
It says this this came out
Earlier today and then maybe I can get jr to uh, take some interest in this for his show also
two u.s men
Have been indicted
for allegedly plotting an armed operation

(52:54):
to take control of a caribbean island
kill its male population
And enslave the women and children
According to the u.s attorney's u.s attorney's office for the eastern district of texas
Gavin
Wiesenberg 21

(53:15):
and tammer thomas 20
both from the dallas area
conspired to recruit and lead an unlawful
expeditionary force
to illa de la ganave
A tropical island with a hundred thousand residents that is part of the republic of haiti

(53:37):
the plan
discussed between august 24 and july of 25
Aimed to stage a coup
For the purpose of carrying out their rape fantasies
Weisenberg and thomas intended to murder all of the men on the island
So they could turn all of the women and children into their sex slaves prosecutors said on thursday

(54:04):
Adding that both men have been charged with
conspiracy to murder
maim or kidnap in a foreign country
and produce child pornography
Is that crazy or what?
I'm going to see if I can do this. Let's see

(54:26):
Hello, let's see. Hold on a second. Take me a minute. Okay. Can you hear me?
I I can hear you quite well. Thank you
Cool. I want to make sure I can hear you. Well say something
Hello, uh, okay, cool. I'm, sorry. I'm i'm remote. So, uh

(54:47):
That means hello good day, how are you?
Yeah, that's right. Yeah, you taught me that I well actually
Uh, you inspired me to learn that. So anyway, um
so hill and billory
They've rejected the subpoena from the house ethics committee or something
And you know steve bannon

(55:09):
And the other guy the good looking older fella, you know
um
Peter navarro, I can't remember his name. Yeah. Yes. Yes. There you go
Peter navarro, they went to jail
Because they refused a subpoena and where is hill and billory?
They're still sitting in their blood-sucking satanic villain, wherever it might be. I don't know bro

(55:31):
But there are devils out there in this world. You know, there are don't you?
I know I do. Yep
They're devils. Candace ellen said that uh said that mccrone ordered her assassination
Well and charlie kirk, did you hear that?
Bro
Well, no, I didn't I I try to dip in and out, you know, I try not to get too

(55:55):
Overly involved because it drives me fucking batty bro. I don't know how you do it
I don't know who and jr and josh and paulie and all you guys that do your shit
I don't know how you stick with it because it drives me fucking
Crazy to try to keep up with all this shit
Well, I almost didn't do one tonight because I was uh

(56:18):
In a long meeting with a bunch of lawyers today in st. Louis
And then I I didn't leave that meeting until about 3 30
And I was you know, i'm on the road
to florida and so I don't know if you heard the part where I said i'm coming to you live from a
daybridge street parking lot in uh, memphis, tennessee

(56:41):
I didn't hear that
Sounds
It sounds like that's where you're coming to me from honestly, it does. Oh, i'm sorry. Well, i'm sorry. It sounds bad, but
No, it doesn't sound bad. It sounds like you're the man on the road, bro
It sounds like you're one of the last fucking true patriots
For I know I know, you know, you don't think that

(57:02):
Trump is the greatest guy in the world or anything like that. Not
But I don't think he's worse not remotely. He's doing a good job. It just yeah
I'm not always i'm not always for
You're the classic moderate
And you know without moderates we'd be doomed but the problem is we don't have many moderates like you sam

(57:22):
We need more moderates like you but those old baby boomers those zoomers and boomers. They are not moderates man
They are blue haired pink haired yellow haired
Leftist radical brainwashed f's dude. That's the battle that we're fighting right now
You know what the percentage of men to you know, like guys like you and me and i'm not calling you

(57:44):
Like me I far be it for me
To consider you like me because i'm gonna say you and me are probably more different than we are alike. But here's the thing
those leftist those
I mean freaks disillusioned
bamboozled
in incomprehensible
Dumbbells man, there's like three percent of them

(58:07):
Maybe maybe a percent and a half not many and the big mainstream news and media puts it all out there
Like there's a big fight to fight. There is no big fight to fight man
I'm going to tell you even from your position as a moderate
Going to my position as a very um
I don't know. I don't know what you want to call me a right-wing radical. Maybe a conspiracy theorist

(58:30):
I don't know somebody that doesn't but i'm a conspiracy theorist, too. I i'm i'm
I I believe in my share of conspiracy. You know what I mean?
It's yeah, I do. I do why I continue. I get it. That's why
Yeah, I called in tonight and i'm glad I think you're going on like in the mornings or something soon, aren't you?

(58:50):
Yeah, i'm this week i'm gonna try to do my regular all the way through thursday
And uh, the only issue is is uh
next sunday
I am not leaving
florida until
I gotta take my wife to the airport in tampa and then i'll be driving back from there

(59:15):
But her flight's not till like I don't know noon or something so I can't drop her off till 10
Otherwise i'd leave real early in the morning
It's just a one-time thing
Well, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, i'm i'm doing 7 30 to 9
Or 7 to 8 30 with music after the 8 30 to 9 part

(59:39):
So it doesn't interfere with anybody who starts at 9. I haven't decided yet, but it's probably 7 30 to 9
every morning
thanks for bringing that up, by the way, I meant to mention it and uh,
uh to
But this will be what what is that day december the first
so
But monday I might not be I might be doing it on the road because the 30th is sunday, I think

(01:00:06):
Well, that's great. I'd love so i'd love to hear you at 7 30 in the morning then
a multitude of of other, you know options out there, you know sports radio or
Mainstream media radio or anything i'd love to hear you in the morning. That's great
I love that i'd love fun. Yeah, it's it's uh for me it works out a little bit easier because what i've ended up doing is

(01:00:30):
it was easy when I did it all out of the house, but
But going to studio going to the office going to all these places has made it a little bit
less
um
Bearable, you know what I mean?
But if I go to the studio first and then head to the office from there life is going to be

(01:00:51):
Fantastic, you know, that's an easy that's an easy are you in a hotel room a little bit?
I mean nobody cares about that on the radio, but there you go. No, no
Are you are you off side? Are you in a hotel room or?
It doesn't sound like you're right now. I'm actually i'm actually sitting in the front of my truck
and uh
Because i'm gonna keep on i'm gonna keep on truck and I I like driving at night and I and I would be driving right now

(01:01:17):
But for two things one I got a diesel and it's a little bit loud and two
I was afraid that if I was driving the uh internet
On my tablet wouldn't hold out
And it would you know if you're moving and it would cut me off in the middle
So I was going to pull over like in a rest area or somewhere, but I was in i'm in memphis and so

(01:01:39):
You have a diesel I would have pictured you for like a uh
A tesla guy, you know, uh, or a you know
You know environmentally friendly car, but you have a diesel
Do you know I had a diesel? Do you remember when volkswagen got um got busted for the diesel program?

(01:02:01):
I bought a diesel
Yeah, that's right where they did it was a class action. I bought a diesel
For it cost me
36 000 bucks in 2013. I bought a
tdi passat
Sel and it got 46 48 miles to the gallon and it was a diesel

(01:02:24):
And it was a fantastic car
You know four-door car sedan very nice and and I loved that car and and then I put
in um
So that was 2013 by 2016
I had put a hundred and ten thousand miles on that thing

(01:02:45):
In three years, okay
Wow, yep, 110 000 miles on that car and then
The that is when they had the lawsuit
that um
That said that they would buy back your car. I still owed I still had
Like I don't know. I still had like a year's worth of payments left on the thing. I had I bought it on a four-year

(01:03:09):
payout
and I put a decent amount down and you know, but
The payment was nothing and and and it was but it was I got back
21 000 bucks and they paid off the note that I had left which was like three six thousand dollars
It was some some small amount of money that I still owed on it

(01:03:31):
But they paid it all off and gave me 21 000
To buy a new car. They tried to get me to buy a new volkswagen. I didn't but
That's what they tried to get me to do
Wasn't that what it was? Yes, whatever it was you no, no, no, no, not this one
This was settlement of the volkswagen lawsuit because they lied about the diesel

(01:03:53):
and and they lied about the emissions and so
Volkswagen in a class action got ordered to buy back all of these cars
And and they had to buy back mine, even though it was a hundred thousand miles plus
I don't know how to still I owed some money. It was a cool car. I loved it
It still would have gone for another 200, you know easy and a diesel goes forever, you know

(01:04:18):
Yeah, sorry to go into a story that had nothing to do with it, but
I think it's great. So that's what i'm in search of i've got a 1993 ford f-150
It's got 280 000
and it keeps up I gotta throw out bearing going out on it right now, but
That's gonna cost me

(01:04:38):
You know, I don't know maybe a thousand bucks
And then I have got the problem, you know what the property tax on that truck is
Eight dollars, I don't know but I hate property tax
I hate property tax. I think
It's it's the biggest load of crap I ever heard and if you license them in florida
There's no such animal, you know, you don't you don't pay property tax

(01:05:03):
my point is I keep my uh
My carbon footprint to the lowest possible least common denominator
So it costs them more it literally
Costs them more to send out my fucking bill than it does to what I owe them. I mean, that's the case
That's the true thing I mean I can show you the money

(01:05:25):
But anyway, i'm glad you're on tonight. Uh, thanks for letting me call in and i'll look forward to seeing your morning show
Next week. Yeah, i'm i'm kind of looking forward to the morning show and I hope
I like it as much as I um have the evening
But it's either that or build a mini studio in my house again and and not

(01:05:48):
Have to go to the studio, you know, but I like going to the studio. It sounds better. It's um
You know, it's easier to take calls. I mean you you call them in it's been a little bit. Uh,
Uh, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do it and uh, i'm glad I was and because i'm on i'm on the
a remote program

(01:06:10):
called discord
um to get into the to my voice so it comes across fairly clean and then you're on the telephone and
It used to be that if you were on one or the other you couldn't do both and it was a pain in the rear
And I was afraid i'd screw it all up because I haven't been remote in a while

(01:06:30):
And uh, but but I think it came out pretty good. I very much appreciate your call in tonight and uh,
Thanks for calling and you have a good evening. Happy sunday to you
You too. Good night. Happy thanksgiving
Oh, yes, and you as well
Thanks, bro. Bye
Bye. Bye
And there he goes if I can hang him up don't know how to do it

(01:06:55):
Or it's it's hard to grab these things on the
Um, it's a small screen anyway, and I don't have a mouse
I have a new computer that I was gonna get into use but i'm doing so right now
I'm doing the show
the the beauty of the studio just so you know
Is you have computers screens all around you and you have jr's got tvs everywhere and so

(01:07:22):
The computer screens are accessible and you can do a little bit of research and a little bit of follow-up on what you're trying to
Discuss and you can even do if you are looking for something. Um,
You can do a little bit of research while you're there or follow your stuff online

(01:07:43):
But if you're in your in your truck in a staybridge suites parking lot in memphis, tennessee
Using your
uh
samsung
Tablet, whatever. This is called samsung something tablet. It's an android tablet
and your samsung

(01:08:04):
S24
plus pro edition phone
It's a little more difficult
And so you know
And you can only log into one screen at a time or you gotta cut off the old one
Which makes it a little more on the difficult side. So I appreciate the caller. I appreciate

(01:08:26):
the discussion on it
Um, I wanted to get to because I want to talk about this and I know jr
I'll probably talk about this tomorrow and i've mentioned him too many times tonight, but i'm sure he will talk about this candace owens
um
Says that mccrone has ordered her assassination
um

(01:08:46):
Let's see. So she's the one of course when she claimed that bridgette
macron
Is a transgender woman
um
Says that macron has authorized her assassination
She's currently in a legal dispute with the family macron
After releasing her series

(01:09:08):
Becoming bridgette earlier this year
And in the podcast she alleged that the first lady of france was born
a merrill
And is related to french president by blood
It also claimed that emmanuel macron was involved in cia mind control programs

(01:09:30):
Now i've meant to go back and listen to that and I saw parts of it, but never got there
But in response the macrons filed a defamation suit
They accused her of spreading
outlandish
defamatory and far-fetched fictions
In a post on x on friday

(01:09:52):
Owen said she had been contacted by
a high-ranking
Employee of the french government who claimed that the macrons have
executed upon
and paid
for her assassination
and the assassination of
french journalist javier
prosard

(01:10:13):
prosard
Is the former editor of faith documents?
previously promoted a theory alleging that
Bridget macron born tronio
Had died young and that her older brother jean-michel tronio later had a sex change
And assumed her identity

(01:10:34):
before marrying emmanuel macron
More specifically
Here's what she wrote
That the green light was given to a small team in the national gendarmerie intervention group
I am told there is one israeli on the assassination squad
And the plans were formalized for her assassination

(01:10:56):
She said this is deadly serious the head of state of france apparently wants us both dead
And has authorized professional units to carry this out
The identity controversy surrounding the french first lady first surfaced
in
2021 when someone named amandine roy and journalist natacha ray

(01:11:21):
Claimed that she had been born a man
a french court ruled in macron's favor in 2024
Before an appeals court overturned that verdict in july
of
2025
so
i'm
Wondering where this is

(01:11:43):
Um, I wanted to uh share with you
the
the trumpster's comments
On zelensky fighting his little heart out. If you didn't remember this, this is pretty damn funny the u.s. President
Um, let's see has said ukraine
ukraine's zelensky

(01:12:05):
The z-man or the green goblin who's now wearing black. So I suppose when you change into the black goblin
Uh, he can continue to fight his little heart out should he refuse the proposed peace plan
Washington presented kiev this week a draft proposal
To end the conflict and press the ukrainian leadership to accept it by thursday

(01:12:32):
Trump made this remark while speaking to reporters at outside the white house saturday
And the president asked what would happen he was asked what would happen if zelensky refused
Then he can continue
To fight his little heart out
Yes
um
Trump's latest statement echoes remarks

(01:12:54):
He made on friday when he said that zelensky is going to have to accept something at some point
trump warned that ukraine is headed into a
Cold winter that's what i've been saying forever
While its energy infrastructure sites have been under attack to put it mildly according to trump

(01:13:16):
He will have to like
He will have to like the plan and if he does not like it then, you know
They should just keep fighting I guess said trump
according to the media
Washington threatened kiev with cutting off military aid and u.s intelligence sharing if it rejects
the peace proposal

(01:13:39):
Earlier this year the u.s used the same leverage to press ukraine into accepting trump's rare earths deal
So that deal is still sitting out there, but we haven't heard anything about it. Have we?
um
You know that vance
um

(01:14:00):
Says that ukrainian victory over russia is a fantasy. There are separate stories on that
He said that more than on one occasion
um, but now all the european people, you know the backers, uh, this coalition of the willing idiots
are wanting to uh rewrite the plan

(01:14:22):
And uh, let's see
The eu nations are trying to buy ukraine more time
And they want to postpone
the deadline on thursday
So the approach being taken by these backers tries to rewrite much of the proposed document and conceal the changes

(01:14:45):
as
constructive
updates
The source is familiar with this, uh
effort
Washington has signaled it is not ready to drastically amend the peace plan that has been drafted
um
Ukraine's velensky on friday now this and I remember this but I would I haven't spoken to you since thursday night

(01:15:12):
And what he said was on friday that that ukraine is facing
One of the most difficult moments in our history. He means ukraine's and facing a choice between
accepting
28 difficult points or
Risking losing its key partner and according to media experts washington threatened to cut kiev off

(01:15:36):
Asked about zelensky's take on the situation
Said trump
Zelensky is going to have to accept something
Um putin confirmed that moscow has received the plan
But that the the proposal has not been discussed
in detail yet

(01:15:58):
and the draft proposal
Could become the basis of a final peace settlement. He stated but what they're doing is europe in europe
Is calling this a ceasefire
And that's not going to work and trying to create buffer zones and that's not going to work
at least not without um

(01:16:18):
giving up
all of donetsk all of lugansk zaporizhia and um
her son
And those four oblasts and say and recognizing crimea now
The plan says that they're going to recognize crimea
And the donbass which is donetsk and lugansk, but not zaporizhia and her son that those can be

(01:16:41):
Negotiated later, which is why a lot of people think this is just a glorified attempt at a ceasefire
and so there's been talks that um
That russia won't ever accept this anyway, because it is just a ceasefire
um
i'm not
I'm, not positive if it's going to get anywhere. I think

(01:17:07):
um
that
Well, there was talk this past week and in fact, I saw in the news this morning and another story that I that I
read it said that
the
uh
now that a
is
the
legislature of ukraine

(01:17:28):
That the verhovna rada has ceased operation
And that without them
Zelensky has no power
Okay that he cannot operate without the verhovna rada
But a lot of people in the verhovna rada according to this story that I read and I forget where it was

(01:17:51):
It was uh, you know like politico or something like that, but it said that
that the verhovna rada
Has said that the zelensky
And his corrupt team
They don't have authority anymore and the efforts are being taken
With the us three-letter agencies and stuff like that

(01:18:14):
That they're creating another government to step into place and there's some some
I'm, not saying I know this i'm just saying it was an interesting take on a story that I read this morning
And then I heard talk about it in another one of the political people that I listened to on a regular basis

(01:18:36):
and
said that
since the verhovna rada
Is is shut down. Basically. They say they're not going to operate anymore and the efforts are being
taken by these three-letter agencies and
people in the know in ukraine
To create a

(01:18:57):
another
Government and and you can call it a shadow government. You can call it whatever you want
but the way I see it is it would be a replacement government and so there's a um,
Zelensky's
um
one of his

(01:19:17):
Advisors a very high up in this advisor is actually
at the
Conference
Usha kov. I think it is but I can't remember for sure if that's his name, but I think it's usha kov who is uh,
Who is there, but I could be mistaken
That uh, no, no, no, no
It's andre yermak that yermak is going to be going to talk with rubio

(01:19:42):
and with uh, the the team in geneva
And that he'll be the one negotiating. There's also talk that zeluzny who is the former
commander, well the general in charge of the armed forces that
Zelensky kicked out in early 2024
And replaced with uh,

(01:20:04):
Firsky who's the guy that's losing all over the battlefield now and sending all these people to the meat grinder
Desk that they're going to but zeluzny
Didn't get he was favored by the u.s
Especially under the biden era and he was sent to
britain as britain's

(01:20:25):
Uh as ukraine's ambassador to britain
And so that kept him there and he's been making friends in britain
And that people seem to think that he's going to be the next qn for who gets to
be, uh, you know when they when they
Boot out the z monster and kick him out

(01:20:48):
They'll bring in zeluzny instead and zeluzny doesn't like firsky
So watch for this in the coming months, especially if trump can get this done in his first year
He might take the effort to get rid of zelensky. Remember the 28-point peace plan includes

(01:21:08):
Elections
Elections within 90 days and somebody has to get an election in 90 days because
The russians say and so do a lot of other people
That old zelensky is illegitimate
And that he can't sign any
um
Peace proposal because it's not enforceable

(01:21:31):
Because he's not he had to have elections in may of 2024
And he never did
And so therefore he's completely illegitimate now. He's a year and a half
past his date of expiration
And he's rotten to the core which uh, all of this corruption is, uh,

(01:21:52):
Is showing
and one of the key
impacts of this, um
28-point peace plan one of the key impacts of this
is
that nobody
is investigated
nobody
is charged with a crime and

(01:22:13):
And I mean on either side and that includes
all of the war profiteers
in um
ukraine
that have
milked
the the us money the um
european money
in fact
The ukrainian money they have stuck it all dry. They've bled ukraine dry

(01:22:38):
They've killed off
uh, you know
million and a half
men
They've lost 10 to 15 million people who who migrated out of the country
And they've destroyed
much of their industrial
And resources

(01:22:58):
base
And they're they're in a world of hurt. And so how do you get this?
fixed
You let everybody who got rich and broke the law and stole all this money. You let them all off the hook
Treaty in a treaty and you go no and then and zelensky can move if you believe in the fact that he bought

(01:23:20):
All these houses there have been at least three stories probably more like five or six that say his his wife
um
zelenskava or zelenska
Depending because in in russian you end the woman's name with an a and the men's is uh is is not
And so him being zelensky her would be zelenska

(01:23:42):
Um zelenska. Yeah, and he's zelensky. And so
Uh at any rate his wife is allegedly has allegedly bought a villa in france
something in paris
something on uh, uh an island in the in the mediterranean or caribbean, I don't remember which
and a small castle in england

(01:24:04):
Now a lot of people say that's all fake news and you don't believe it, but they've certainly pocketed a butt ton of money
um as
Have zelenska have the zelensky and the zelensky's both of them
and uh
so has
Everybody else associated with this war, you know

(01:24:26):
When when trump talks about putting a hundred billion in a fund and and then matching it
European funds and have 200 billion to rebuild ukraine
It makes me want to get a crew of people
and go over there to
but
I don't know that i'd be allowed because some ukrainian had knifed me in the street because I haven't just blindly pumped

(01:24:55):
You know, um pro-ukrainian stuff
And or anti-russian stuff and so, you know
It's it's unfortunate
That that i'd be afraid to go there because ukraine is a beautiful country
I hear and the people are certainly just as fantastic as the russians in most cases

(01:25:17):
although
uh
there are some uh
Some scary parts to that that i'd prefer not to be a part of and uh, but
I I would like to go over there. I'd like to participate in that stuff. I think it'd be fun
Go report from there and maybe do some uh, do some uh

(01:25:40):
Shows from there. I'm all for that
And uh, and i'd love to do it. So I may
Uh try to make that effort. Um, whenever it gets done, but I think I would rather go over to the russian side
Which will be in the donbass donetsk lugansk. Maybe zaporizhia maybe crimea, which would be fantastic

(01:26:00):
so I also heard a whole bunch today about
turkey
pushing hard for this 28 point plan
because they
Want to stop the war before russia takes odessa
Because then russia and not that not any nato countries except bulgaria would be uh in any way

(01:26:24):
Or romania down there. No, I can't remember which one touched the black sea below odessa
Sorry about my geography lessons being off today. I think it's bulgaria, but I don't remember
and uh
But if russia takes odessa
Ukraine would be cut off from the black sea and allegedly
Uh turkey doesn't want that because then russia would be in charge of literally the entire

(01:26:49):
northern half of the black sea
and would control all shipping into and out of there and that a lot of people would not be
in favor of according to uh
Certain commentators in the last uh couple of days that i've been listening to and it does make sense

(01:27:12):
that uh, um
That turkey would want that
and uh, let's see
Um, where did we go?
Um andre yermak. I was talking to you about him on the graft scandal
Andre yermak is the omnipotent chief of staff

(01:27:33):
Has been implicated as well in the hundred million graft scheme
and
this 53 year old
Is now in the crosshairs of this extortion probe
And he is described as ukraine's real power broker with long-standing

(01:27:53):
ties
to
Zelensky and he was a former entertainment lawyer and film producer. He was
Uh acquainted with zelensky when he was uh on ukrainian
tv
and uh, he worked on zelensky's election team
following uh zelensky's election yermak

(01:28:16):
Joined the administration as an entertainment, uh lawyer. I'm sure he's qualified
But he became the presidential aide for foreign policy and acted as keith's representative in
informal diplomatic endeavors
And uh, is he really the true leader of ukraine?
Nobody knows but a lot of people say he is and he's the real power behind the uh,

(01:28:42):
behind the scene and now
naboo
That anti-corruption bureau
Is uh claiming that he is involved
Um, so the alleged involvement of yermak in the energo adam graft affair
um
It means many in ukraine have demanded his dismissal
Um zelensky is said to have refused to dismiss him

(01:29:06):
When the issue was brought up during closed-door meetings with mps from his party on thursday
according to opposition mp oleg
Stay
Gon cherenko the dissenting member of servant of the people
Issued an ultimatum to zelensky and demanded yermak's dismissal
Or promised to quit the party which nobody has done so far

(01:29:33):
All right, we're gonna see if I can figure this out
how to uh
Exit the show properly if I can do that
And uh, make sure that I get there this has been international flavor on damn radio very glad to have you
