Speaker 1 (00:00):
French President Emmanuel McCrone taking the lead, arriving in Kiev
today to meet with Ukrainian President Zelinski, one day after
his marathon talks with Vladimir Putin, and McCrone saying that
Putin gave him a personal guarantee. He told me he
won't be initiating an escalation. I think that's important, McCrone said.
The Kremlin denies Putin made any such commitment, So wait,

(00:22):
what what kind of a story is that? So McCrone
claims that Putin made a hollow commitment, and the Kremlin says, now,
he didn't even do that right immediately, which means he
obviously didn't make a commitment, and you don't, you don't
deny a major commitment. So it's a nothing. It's a

(00:45):
big nothing. Anybody who has fallen for the whole looks
like tensions of cooled. What might have been lost in
the translation or something. I don't know. I think the
media just sucks. So c ann reporting today that Russia
is sending warships to the Black Sea for more drills. Man,
they got a lot of drills they need to do,
all in the same area at the same time. A

(01:06):
lot of exercises all happen to be surrounding Ukraine. God,
I'm looking up at the ABC right now and they've
got video of these um Russian transport vehicles going down
a snowy road in the middle of nowhere near the border.
It looks like a color version of something from World
War Two. Uh, let's go through these one at the time.

(01:29):
First of all, I haven't heard this story. I need
to hear this before I can comment on it. On Monday,
Vladimir Putin was speaking about the misk Agreements, which we're
supposed to end the conflict years ago. There's been disagreement
between the two countries over their meaning, and he took
a disparaging shot at Ukraine's president and maybe even his manhood,
saying like it or don't like it, it's your duty,

(01:49):
my duty, which seems quite possibly to be a comment
loaded with sexual, even misogynistic implications. Ukraine's president today responded,
appearing to take the common and straw. He said Ukraine
is a beauty and then as far as it being
his duty to quote take it, Ukraine is very patient
because that's wisdom. Old tough guy KGB Officer Judo champion

(02:14):
in his youth. Putin dropped my beauty on the younger
pretty boy president of Ukraine. Well, first of all, it
sounded like he might be rapping. It's your duty, my
beauty to come around. Cut. I want you a sweet booty.
I doubt it rhymed in Russian, my mistake. Well, and

(02:35):
I love the tone. You know, I mentioned earlier Jake Tapper,
Who's who's really a solid guy? Um, you know, I
don't agree with everything, obviously, but um, he's a solid guy.
He's at China Hawk and the rest of it. He
is an island of sanity in a sea of excrement.
That is CNN. And that was That was an example there.
John Brennan with John Berman with his fake that some

(02:57):
consider sexist, even massage list. You're talking about Vladimir effing Putent.
You think maybe he says stuff that's a little sexist.
You sound like you're about to follow yours. You know,
that's an excellent point. I've been leave northern California before
you get too soft. I'm so used to that sort
of talk. It's slipped by me. Wait a second, the

(03:20):
guy has got he's working on two hundred thousand troops
on the border with possibly nuclear weapons. Now he's sending
ships to the back sea, and you're gonna comment on
the fact that you think he made a misogynistic reference.
He's about to slaughter Ukrainians by the tens of thousands.
And John Bremin CNN are most upset that Vladimir Putin

(03:41):
seemed to be coming off as a sexist. Some think
that comment with sexist or massagyst that is, you know
I'm saying earlier about China. So China. The number of
the most popular movies in Chinese theaters are ones where
they um reenact battles and where the United States loses. Yeah,
and that sort of thing. Anti American Jake Tamper, getting

(04:03):
back to CNN, pointed out yesterday that the no major
studio has made a movie with China as the enemy
in the United States in ten years. So we don't
want to do that because you would lose money. They
do it all the time. Same with this. We're we're
making comments about I think that was a sexist comment
from Putin. And he's gonna invade a country and kill
tens of thousands of people and not even blink. The

(04:25):
the stronger aggressive culture will dominate the retreating weak culture.
It's the history of the world. There's a correlation. It's
just unbelievable. That's our response. Well, that was misogynistic. He wouldn't.
He's astounding if if anybody's do not use gendered language crane. Yeah,

(04:54):
and so all we're putting pronouns and our emails. Those
countries are gonna do what they want to do and
take over the world. I know, folks, did you're slapping
your forehead. I'm slapping my forehead anyway. Uh. The Ukrainians
seem to be getting more serious about what they're up against,
as this report from ABC News last night, Ukrainians are

(05:15):
still preparing for war. So these all represented artillery attacks.
Alexei Danilove, the head of Ukraine's National Security Council, telling
me he is organizing a national resistance. Every Ukrainian who
can fight will fight, from regular soldiers to veterans, to
police officers to hunters. All of those people would be mobilized.

(05:38):
Like the overall number of people who could be mobilized
is as high as two and a half million. He
tells me, we need additional weapons and ammunition. He was
standing in front of maps and organizing you know, just
regular local like you said there, anybody who owns a
gunner knows has ever shot a gun, is going to
be part of fighting for their country and that can
be pretty effective. Nobody knows that better than the United

(06:00):
States of freaking America having gone into a rack and Afghanistan. Sure,
you can roll in with your tanks and your guns
and your fancy planes fast and kill a whole bunch
of people, but uh, Vietnam, that armed population that don't
want you there can bleed you for a long time.
And Ukraine is looking to do that to Russia and

(06:20):
it is going to be well. Interestingly enough, Russia ought
to know that too, from their experiences in various spots,
including Afghanistan. Obviously. I well, I think that's why he
hasn't gone in yet, and he's continuing to amass an
insanely powerful force because he just wants to stomp that
out and break their will fast so he doesn't have

(06:41):
to deal with that sort of thing. I think that's
what Putin's hoping for. Looking at it purely academically, there's
an argument argument to be made that's the right way
to do it, sure, and I find it horrific just
for the record, and that's why those numbers came out
over the weekend from from our Pentagon that as many
as fifty thousand Ukrainian civilians could I in the first
couple of days. And there's gonna be a lot of

(07:03):
video of this. I mean they, hey, that's a modern
country with cell phones and all that sort of stuff.
There's gonna be a lot of video of what goes on.
And I wonder how America is going to react to that, because, uh,
they look like us, and for whatever reason, that's just
the way the brain works. I don't know, call it racism,
call it whatever. But when you got it, you know,

(07:24):
when you got those kind of videos coming out of
the Middle East, it's tragic and awful. But their lifestyles
are so different, you know, they don't they don't drive
the cars like we do and live in houses that
look like ours, and etcetera, etcetera. Ukraine, have you seen
the videos out of Kiv. It looks like it could
could be when it could be Omaha, and um and
when we see you know, uh, cars that we drive

(07:47):
in front of stores that we shop at being blown
up and bodies laying in a street and everything like that.
I think it's gonna be quite striking. Yeah, it's the
rare people actually say what you said out loud. But
it's true. I mean, it's absolute true. And you know,
maybe that's not a good thing, but it's a human thing. Yeah.
I just think there's gonna be quite a reaction to that.
I just hope when Putin slaughters the tens of thousands,

(08:09):
he doesn't say anything sexist. I almost play that again, Mike,
that is amazed dirty. On Monday, Vladimir Putin was speaking
about the misk agreements, which we're supposed to end the
conflict years ago. There's been disagreement between the two countries
over their meaning, and he took a disparaging shot at
Ukraine's president and maybe even his manhood, saying like it
or don't like it, it's your duty, my duty, which

(08:32):
seems quite possibly to be a comment loaded with sexual,
even misogynistic implications. Ukraine's president today responded, appearing to take
the common and stride. He said Ukraine is a beauty
and then as far as it being his duty to
quote take it, Ukraine is very patient because that's wisdom. Wow.
The world view of the effect elite in America, the

(08:57):
ivy league, you know. Tab He was talking about this
in a podcast I heard it the other day with
uh comedian actor now commentator and kind of interesting guy,
Russell Brand. He was talking about how when his dad
was a journalist, journalists were more workmen than professionals. It
was a ink stained uh decent way to make a living,

(09:20):
but you were not driving a Cadillac. I mean you're
driving a Chevy. And now through you know various sociological forces,
cultural forces, media forces, all the presidents, men, whatever. Now
journalists are to a large extent ivy league ish children
of the upper class who have decided to change the world.

(09:40):
And so they, in the face of Russian slaughter, would
point out, you know what he said with sexist that
was kind of a microaggression. What he just Uh so
the leader Russia's making misogynistic comments and he's gonna pull
off a eighteenth century move in a twenty first century world,
and in don't care he is the thing. I'm gonna

(10:02):
shame him out of doing it on my blog. Um now,
that's our media's fault. I don't know how they received
it there in Ukraine, but man, I'll tell you what
if I'm President Zealinski and Putin looks me in the
eye and said it calls me my beauty. I'm I'm
a little chilled. Yes, yeah, yeah, he's got the eyes
of a crocodile, you know, and and the emotional you know,

(10:26):
he's got the cortex of one too. When when he
says that he means it. He has doctor's throne out
of windows. Yes, who make comments about COVID He doesn't
like what his girlfriend's boyfriend or whatever. Remember that video
that he had shot on the street. I mean, yeah,
he's a killer. Yeah, he's a murderer. Yeah that and

(10:48):
oh yeah, and then willing to make misogynistic comments. You
know what, you know what, You should cancel him. You
should should try to cancel him. Deep platform man, go
fund me won't send any more money to Putin. I
wouldn't be surprised if he's not racist on some level.
Oh no, he needs to be canceled art And yet

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
