Got some rare good news. 26 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:09.200 I'm just kidding. Actually, we've had lots of good news 27 00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:12.799 over the past month. Shout out to Trump, Shout out 28 00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:15.640 to Kat Williams. Kat Williams one of my favorite comics, 29 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.840 absolutely hysterical talking about how Trump doesn't. 30 00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:22.840 Trump, don't sleep, my fucker get whatever, he won't. 31 00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:25.920 Love Cat Williams. Anyways, I just thought that was a fun, 32 00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:29.799 fun way to intro US. I got some good news. 33 00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:32.959 More good news is that it looks like the war 34 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:36.439 in Ukraine may be ending at long. Last three years 35 00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:40.040 deep into this thing, hundreds of thousands of parish it's 36 00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:43.519 been hell, to put it mildly, but there is light 37 00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:47.079 at the end of the tunnel. And that light does 38 00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:50.359 not have three chairs sitting at it. It has one 39 00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:54.200 for Vladimir Putin and one for Donald Trump. And Zelensky 40 00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:59.599 is absolutely panicking. And this was what I predicted for 41 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:03.040 a long time now, is that he would eventually be 42 00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.159 left out in the cold because he was doing the 43 00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:10.680 bidding of the existing US State Department and Trump ain't 44 00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:14.479 interested in playing you know that that game anymore. And 45 00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.680 it looks like this dude his toast. So let's go 46 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:18.039 to Trump and see what he has to say. 47 00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:18.800 You have any. 48 00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:21.439 Message for Ukrainians who, after three years of fighting, might 49 00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.039 feel betrayed or disappointed at not having a seat at 50 00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:25.639 these initial talks in Saudi Arabia. 51 00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:31.439 Well, I think I'm really disappointed in what's happened. I've 52 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:33.439 been watching this for three years. It's a war that 53 00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:34.719 would have never happened if I. 54 00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:38.560 Was president, and I've been watching these these you. 55 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:41.759 Know, people being killed at levels that you've rarely seen, 56 00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:45.800 not even close since the Second World War. And I'm 57 00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.599 very disappointed. I hear that, you know they're upset about 58 00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:50.280 not having a seat, Well, they've had a seat for 59 00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:53.000 three years, and a long time before that. 60 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:55.120 This could have been settled very easily, just. 61 00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:59.840 A half a half baked negotiator could have settled this 62 00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:05.280 years ago. I think without the loss of much land, 63 00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:09.319 very little land, without the loss of any lives, and 64 00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:12.240 without the loss of cities that are just laying on 65 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:12.759 their side. 66 00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:14.560 You have those magnificent. 67 00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:18.599 Golden domes that are shattered, will never be replaced. 68 00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:19.800 You can't replace him. 69 00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:23.240 So that part isn't surprising. Trump has been talking like 70 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:25.599 this on the campaign trail, all the way back to 71 00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:28.280 his town halls of a year ago, when he was 72 00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.680 just even pre debate, So this has been his perspective 73 00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:33.520 for a very long time. Nothing is surprising. 74 00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:35.840 Here. Here's where it gets interesting. 75 00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:39.080 We're hearing that Russia wants to force Ukraine to hold 76 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:40.479 new elections in order to. 77 00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:41.879 Sign any kind of a peace deal. 78 00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:44.599 Is that something that the US would ever support? 79 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:49.560 Well, we have let me pause it there. Just think 80 00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:52.599 about how ridiculous it is that we've been told for 81 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:57.159 three straight years that we must defend the Ukraine in 82 00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:01.639 order to defend democracy. And this journalist asked what they 83 00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:07.520 straight face, in all seriousness, why are we demanding that 84 00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:10.639 Ukraine hold elections? Isn't that kind of a prerequisite for 85 00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:15.400 a democratic system? Last I checked, don't you have to 86 00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.680 have elections in order to be a democracy, otherwise you're 87 00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:22.839 in a monarchy or some sort of authoritarian deal. But no, 88 00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:26.079 they've been in martial law. So I guess democracy isn't 89 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:27.800 really what we're defending there now, is it. 90 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:31.879 We haven't had elections in Ukraine. Well, we have martial law, 91 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:36.839 essentially marshal law in Ukraine. Where the leader in Ukraine, 92 00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:38.319 I mean, I hate to say it, but he's down 93 00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:42.279 at four percent approval writing and where a country has 94 00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:46.079 been blown to smither. Rings got Most of the cities 95 00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:48.600 are laying on their sides. 96 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:49.480 The buildings are collapsed. 97 00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:53.639 It looks like a massive demolition site the whole. I 98 00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:55.720 mean so many of the cities. I mean, they haven't 99 00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:57.639 done it in Kiev because I guess they don't want 100 00:04:57.639 --> 00:04:59.720 to shoot too many rockets in there. They've done it 101 00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.639 twenty percent, but they haven't done it one hundred percent. 102 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:04.319 If they wanted to do it one hundred percent, it 103 00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.720 would probably happen very quickly. But you have cities that 104 00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:11.920 are absolutely decimated. And yeah, I would say that, you know, 105 00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:13.720 when they want a seat at the table, you could 106 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.759 say that people have to wouldn't the people of Ukraine 107 00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:18.839 have to say, like, you know, it's been a long 108 00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:20.160 time since we've had an election. 109 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:21.800 That's not a Russia thing. 110 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:25.040 That's something coming from me and coming from many other 111 00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:25.839 countries also. 112 00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:29.480 Who That was a bit of too much truth, huh, 113 00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.439 talking about the fact that there hasn't been elections, that 114 00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:34.879 there's martial law, that there's been just immense destruction, that 115 00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:38.519 there's been no appetite for negotiations or peace from the 116 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:41.560 Ukrainian side, the side that has been losing this war, 117 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.519 and the reason that there's been no appetite for negotiations 118 00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:49.560 of peace is because the will of the people be damned. 119 00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:52.720 That was not who was calling the shots here. In 120 00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:54.920 my opinion, it was clearly the US State Department that 121 00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:58.079 was actually instructing Vladimir Zelensky on what to do and 122 00:05:58.079 --> 00:05:59.800 when to do it and how to do it. And 123 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.920 there's a new sheriff in town, so that ain't helping him. 124 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:07.360 With his four percent approval rating, now, I haven't double 125 00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:10.279 checked that to see if that's true. That seems impossibly low, 126 00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:15.120 especially during wartime, but I'm sure it's not high. So 127 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:17.839 let's just assume that Trump is being his normal hyperbolic 128 00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:20.319 self and it's not exactly four percent, but it is 129 00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:25.000 in the toilet. Nonetheless, Yeah, this guy's probably lost the 130 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:29.439 support of his people and it's time, man. And you know, 131 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.040 I will disagree with one aspect of this. I mean, 132 00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:35.120 I do understand Trump's reasoning, but I think if you 133 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:38.759 expect the Ukrainian people and the soldiers there who have 134 00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:41.199 been fighting tooth and nail for three years, those that 135 00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:44.360 are lucky enough to still be alive to accept whatever 136 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.600 negotiation or whatever peace deal you come up with, well, 137 00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:49.879 if they feel as if they haven't had say in that, 138 00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:53.800 I'm not so sure that you won't see an uptick 139 00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:57.920 in fighting post peace negotiation, because you don't have the 140 00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:00.879 sign off from the President of Ukraine. So I think 141 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.680 that could be a mistake. However, to give Trump his due, 142 00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:08.160 I think it's probably true that Zelensky is refusing and 143 00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:10.920 that he is totally unwilling to accept any loss of land, 144 00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:14.040 and I think that that's ultimately going. 145 00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:15.519 To be required. 146 00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:17.519 It's gonna be requisite if you expect there to ever 147 00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:21.319 be peace, because the larger power has dictated the terms 148 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:23.920 of this settlement, as is often the case in war, 149 00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:26.560 if not always the case in war, that the larger 150 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:30.319 power gets to have a better deal than the weaker power. 151 00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:32.079 It's just how it goes. 152 00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:36.000 It's how it's been for America in its empire stages. 153 00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:40.040 We have negotiated terrible peace settlements all the way back 154 00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:44.759 to Germany and World War One. But Iraq, Afghanistan, I mean, 155 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:49.839 we do we implement and use our power and our will, 156 00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:54.279 our strangle hold over these nations in a pretty vicious fashion. 157 00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:56.680 So to expect that Russia is not going to do 158 00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:58.720 the same, I think is just naive. I'm not saying 159 00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:00.800 it's right, I'm just saying it's naive to think that 160 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:03.600 they wouldn't do it too. So my expectation and my 161 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:07.079 belief has been the same for years now, and I 162 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.920 told Destiny about two almost two years ago. I think 163 00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:13.959 that they are not going to accept anything less than 164 00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:17.319 Crimea and a land bridge to Crimea. That has been 165 00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:19.120 the land that they've been holding. I think it's the 166 00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:21.800 land that they expect to keep. Trump said, you know, 167 00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:22.959 they haven't taken Kiev. 168 00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:25.160 He goes, I don't know why. Maybe they just don't want. 169 00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:27.319 Yeah, I don't think they want to because they don't 170 00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:30.199 want to actually be on the border of Poland. They 171 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:32.200 don't want to be on the border of NATO. In 172 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.919 my opinion, that is one of the true aspects of 173 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:38.679 Putin's perspective on this, is that yes, the expansion of 174 00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:41.759 NATO into Ukraine was a red line and that they 175 00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:42.519 were not going. 176 00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:42.960 To accept that. 177 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:47.519 So all of this still aligns with everything that I've 178 00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:52.360 read and believed about this entire war since its inception, 179 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:55.399 and it just seems like this is the inevitable conclusion. 180 00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:57.399 And I think that Trump is absolutely right that they 181 00:08:57.399 --> 00:08:59.399 didn't have to lose all of these people in all 182 00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:02.559 of this land that you could have negotiated very early on, 183 00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:05.799 if not even prior to the invasion, but certainly a 184 00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:08.600 month in when there was a negotiated peace settlement that 185 00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:12.320 was signed off on, at least tentatively, that was torn 186 00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:14.840 up thanks to Boris Johnson at the direction of I 187 00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:16.639 believe it was Jake Sullivan. It may have been blinking, 188 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:19.960 but it's just terrible. It's just terrible. All of this 189 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:23.960 could have been avoided or at least minimized tremendously, and 190 00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:29.159 so spending it positively though, thank God, that this might 191 00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:32.080 actually be ending, that the suffering of the Ukrainian people 192 00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:34.159 might be coming to an end, that there might actually 193 00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:37.440 be sovereignty left for the Ukrainians, that there might actually 194 00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:40.240 be a Ukraine left, given that that was not a 195 00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:43.519 foregone conclusion, I think that that would be good. That 196 00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:46.200 would be a good thing. And most importantly from the 197 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.759 American perspective, which is the one I hold and the 198 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:51.840 one I care most about, is that we might not 199 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:54.480 have to have a war with Russia. 200 00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:58.320 Hey hooray, which I. 201 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.000 Might add was the primary reason voted for Donald Trump, 202 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:04.000 is because that's what he campaigned on, and it appears 203 00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:07.200 that he is interested in delivering on that promise. Thank God. 204 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:10.159 I do not want to see my little brothers sent 205 00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:13.799 off to war, especially a war that is you know, 206 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:15.480 has the potential to be apocalyptic. 207 00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:17.600 It's it just had to be avoided. 208 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:21.120 And everyone in the Biden administration was one hundred percent 209 00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:23.720 committed to this war, and everyone in all of the 210 00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:26.440 West seems to be committed to this war. It's crazy. 211 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:29.440 I did want to make this point because you know, 212 00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:32.000 after J. D. Vance went to Germany, to Munich a 213 00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:33.960 couple days ago, and he gave that speech that kind 214 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.080 of chastised them. One aspect of the speech that did 215 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:39.200 not chastise them that or that he did not get 216 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.919 into that I wish he had was that these people 217 00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:45.440 seem to be most interested in war with Russia, like 218 00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:51.519 absolutely bloodthirsty they I'll give them, you know there, I'll 219 00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:53.720 give them the benefit of the doubt and say, it 220 00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:55.480 does seem to me as if some of them are 221 00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:58.080 true believers, that they genuinely believe that Putin is about 222 00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:01.080 to roll across Europe. I have I have never seen 223 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:05.039 signs that that's actually in the works, that it's imminent, 224 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:08.000 that that's happening, that that's the plan. I don't believe it. 225 00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:10.600 I don't believe it. If I'm wrong, I will be 226 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:13.080 the first to tell you, and I will be tragically 227 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:15.840 wrong if that happens. But I just don't think it's 228 00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:17.759 actually viable. I don't think that Putin can do it. 229 00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:19.480 I don't think Russia can do it, and I'm not 230 00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:21.399 even sure that they want to. So I don't think 231 00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:25.120 that's going to happen. But the leadership of Europe, those 232 00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:28.039 people in that conference room at the Munich Security Conference, 233 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:32.159 they seem one hundred percent convinced that that's going to happen. 234 00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:34.399 I mean, if you listen to Kure Starmer's speech today, 235 00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:38.840 He's like, this is as extensive, as existential as it gets. 236 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.919 I want to thank President Macron for convening us this evening. 237 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:47.559 At stake is not just the future of Ukraine. It 238 00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:53.000 is an existential question for Europe as a whole, and 239 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:57.879 they're more vital for Britain's national interest. This is a 240 00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:02.720 once in a generation moment the collective security of our continent. 241 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:08.039 Only a lasting piece in Ukraine that safeguards its sovereignty 242 00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:13.399 will deter Putin from further aggression in the future. In 243 00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:16.240 this moment, we have to recognize the new era that 244 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:20.679 we are in not cling hopelessly to the comforts of 245 00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:25.200 the past. It's time for us to take responsibility for 246 00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:30.279 our security, for our continent. And I've been clear today 247 00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:35.840 Britain will take a leading responsibility as we always have 248 00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:41.120 because Ukraine must have a secure future, Europe must have 249 00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:45.720 a secure future, Britain must have a secure future and 250 00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.840 democratic values must prevail. 251 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:52.360 So that's the Prime Minister of the UK Cure Starmer, 252 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:57.120 saying we must defend them to the last man. He 253 00:12:57.200 --> 00:12:59.279 was obviously meeting with a manual crown who lost his 254 00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:02.080 election in star hasn't stepped down from power after I 255 00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:04.919 think six months now, so they're pretty much doing away 256 00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:07.600 with the entire venear that democracy is legitimate and just 257 00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:11.200 like yeah, they're all warlords. As best I can tell, 258 00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:13.679 I don't support any of them. They don't believe in 259 00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.000 free speech, they don't believe in human freedom, they don't 260 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.159 believe in self defense. Why the fuck are these people 261 00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:21.960 our allies? I don't understand it. I mean, other than 262 00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:25.399 my lineage, which I think I have some English heritage. 263 00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:29.559 I think I know I have German. I've got you know, 264 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:34.159 just European mutt like most white Americans, you know, I 265 00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:36.559 feel bad for the people that live there, but I 266 00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:40.480 have no affinity for the governments of those countries. I 267 00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:42.759 feel like they're worse than our own, basically how I 268 00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:45.720 feel about Trudeau in Canada or the poor Australians and 269 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:48.919 their government. I don't want to be allied with these 270 00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:50.720 people any longer. I don't want to be a member 271 00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:53.000 of NATO any longer. I don't want to be their defender. 272 00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:55.039 I certainly don't want to be their benefactor or their 273 00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:58.879 funding source for their unlimited, endless wars because they are 274 00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:01.600 delusional and believe that Russia's about to conquer them. If 275 00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:03.279 they believe that, I don't even know. Maybe they're just 276 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:06.559 owned by the military industrial complex or intell agencies or 277 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:10.960 who knows, uh, Satan himself. I don't know, don't care. 278 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:12.759 I don't want to fund it. I don't want to have. 279 00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:15.960 You know, my countrymen fight and die for these people. 280 00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:18.519 If they want that war, that's their choice to make. 281 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:20.360 That's not mine, and it's not going to be my 282 00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:25.000 money and my countrymen fighting it for them. Strap up here. 283 00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:27.080 If you want to fight, you get on the front lines. 284 00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:28.080 I'm not fucking doing it. 285 00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:28.919 Not interested. 286 00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:33.039 Thanks pass so That's how I feel about it. Feel 287 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:36.200 free to disagree, if you want to enlist, go at it. 288 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:37.799 I am out. 289 00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:41.879 I am out one d And the good news is 290 00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:44.639 that it appears the United States, thanks to Donald Trump, 291 00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:48.559 is also out. We are done with Vladimir Zelenski. We 292 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:53.480 are done with this constant escalation escalation against Russia, and 293 00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:58.600 we are done with endless wars. We're done, thank God. 294 00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:03.480 Now let's hope I'm right. Let's hope that Trump's stance 295 00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:06.919 is a fixed one and that this will actually be 296 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:10.759 resolved here shortly. And moreover, let's hope for the people 297 00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:14.440 of Ukraine and Russia and Europe that this war ends 298 00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:17.360 so that we can get back to just being nice, 299 00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:22.000 normal people again. What a novel concept, all right. Today's 300 00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:26.600 interview is with a buddy of mine. He is Josiah Baker. 301 00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:29.279 He's the chair of the Libertarian Party of Tennessee. He's 302 00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:31.360 running for reelection, so I decided to have him on 303 00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:32.519 give him a little boost. 304 00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:35.039 See if that helps. I'm just kidding. I just wanted 305 00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:36.360 to chat with him for a bit. 306 00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:38.679 This does get a little bit inside baseball. We talk 307 00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:41.559 a little bit about the inside of the party itself 308 00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:43.919 and how that's all functioning. I don't know if you'll 309 00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:46.000 find that part interesting, but I think you will find 310 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:49.759 the parts interesting in terms of like tactical discussions. How 311 00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:52.840 is it that the Libertarian Party can be utilized to 312 00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.279 make the Republican Party more viable? How it can actually 313 00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:59.519 make it better? Because as of now it is a duopoly. 314 00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:03.120 Can we make half of the duopoly at least not 315 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:06.840 existentially terrible. Well, it appears that we may have, and 316 00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:09.360 it appears that if we continue on that path and 317 00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:10.360 that trajectory, we might be. 318 00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:12.679 Able to improve it further. We'll see. 319 00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:15.759 It's an interesting It's an interesting combo. Hope you guys 320 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:17.960 enjoy it. I'll be back to you in a couple 321 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:20.080 of days. As always, Liberty Lockdown has brought to you 322 00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:24.080 by my pillow dot com Mike Lindell.

I think that the first time 339 00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:12.279 we were I guess we weren't even that strong of 340 00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:16.200 a party. Our candidate certainly wasn't strong, but it just 341 00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:19.720 seemed as if the movement and our influencers were strong 342 00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:23.240 in that arena, and that was kind of enough to 343 00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:27.119 give Angela the the leverage by which he can negotiate 344 00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:28.759 real concessions from the Republicans. 345 00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:29.799 So I'll start there. 346 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:34.279 What Stephen Nakaila is the interim chair after Angela mccartil's 347 00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:37.319 stepped down. Just curious what your thoughts are about him. 348 00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:39.880 I'm not super familiar, So what do you think. 349 00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:43.839 Stephen is a He's a nice guy. 350 00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:48.240 Had a meeting with him not long ago to kind 351 00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:52.039 of grasp his take on everything. I didn't even know 352 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:55.720 he was in the running for it till the bonkers 353 00:17:55.839 --> 00:18:00.400 LNC clown show meeting that he kind of got pushed 354 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:02.519 through there and the whole I'm not going to bore 355 00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:05.519 people about internal LP politics because I'll fall asleep mid sentence. 356 00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:08.359 But in essence, he got thrown in at the last 357 00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:09.960 second to get it. I know he's wanted it for 358 00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:13.680 a while. Ran against angela nice guy. I hope that 359 00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:19.279 he has the fortitude of the intestinmal variety to continue 360 00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:23.640 the work. He said that he supports the PDR strategy 361 00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:27.079 that Michael Heiss has created, which is an actual tangible 362 00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:33.440 metric to winning focusing on nullification elections at the state 363 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:38.759 local levels. I support that PDR stand for Project Decentralized Revolution. 364 00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:41.119 There's a great essay that Heyst wrote up about it. 365 00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:44.039 He's also read it. Read the essay. 366 00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:50.039 I'm well aware this is for my audience's sake. Yeah 367 00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:53.200 you can't. You're talking like a military guy using acronyms 368 00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:55.119 that you know. Normanis have no idea what you mean. 369 00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:59.519 Total So Project a Centralized Revolution essentially says the Libertarian 370 00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:01.599 Party needs to be honest with itself, and for over 371 00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:04.240 fifty years it's been largely irrelevant. It's viewed by the 372 00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:07.240 public as people that show up every four years, screw 373 00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:10.359 up an election, crawl back in their hole like puks 374 00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:14.559 of Ponty Phil. But with politics and the reason Libertarians 375 00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:17.319 need to be honest with themselves. We had up until 376 00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:22.279 this last election, no tangible wins at all unless you 377 00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:26.880 count you know, internet verbal chess as wins, dunking on people, 378 00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:29.519 nothing in the real world, nothing in meat space, and hey. 379 00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:31.119 Come on, come on, don't downplay it. We want a 380 00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:32.920 lot of Internet blood support pattle. 381 00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:36.839 Oh yes, yes, a lot of a lot of feudal 382 00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:39.240 arguments into the wee hours of the morning. But yeah, 383 00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:43.119 but Mike's vision with PDR Project to Centralized Revolution was 384 00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:45.960 being honest understanding we as a party need to stop 385 00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:48.640 throwing spaghetti at a wall and hope something sticks. 386 00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:54.079 Have a honed in focus, and it was state level. 387 00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:58.119 We need to focus on local elections with actual nullification 388 00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:02.359 powers like city council, school constable, share of county commission, 389 00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:06.599 mayor these seats that can nullify state and federal eicts. 390 00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:09.039 Because we all learned during COVID it matters who your 391 00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:12.599 local government body is and your state government body. Well, 392 00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:14.319 a lot of us tout Ronda Santis and the way 393 00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:18.440 Florida handle COVID. That's why state level and local level matter, 394 00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:20.920 because the dirty secret is whatever the Feds say we're 395 00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:25.319 going to do, they need local compliance to do so, yep. 396 00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:28.160 And that's why we focus on those seats. It's actual 397 00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:30.960 seats of power. It's not, hey, I'm the you know, 398 00:20:31.079 --> 00:20:32.240 I'm the local dog catcher. 399 00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:34.440 Nobody cares power. 400 00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:37.599 And most importantly, it's they're winnable seats as opposed to 401 00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.839
