Kim Bay, a 34-year-old Congolese refugee in Ukraine, faces racial exclusion from evacuation trains reserved for white men, highlighting the host's critique of U.S. military involvement as a dollar-preserving strategy rather than moral duty. The discussion extends to Trump's Russian oil ban raising domestic gas prices and the host's promotion of "Chinese virus" merchandise while disparaging the Freedom Convoy and Mike Johnson. Ultimately, the episode underscores perceived American hypocrisy in foreign aid dependency and racial bias within refugee crises. [Automatically generated summary]

Fighting For Ukraine00:09:42
We are going to give you guns and you're going to fight for Ukraine.
I said, hi.
We're going to fight for Ukraine.
We are not Ukrainian.
We are black.
Hey, well, what's your skin color got to do with anything?
I'm black.
We don't fight for white people.
That's pretty much what you said.
Hey, you weren't saying that when you came to Ukraine.
You bought that phone, that cell phone in Ukraine.
You got that jacket from Ukraine.
You're wearing that hat and that night's jacket from Ukraine.
You look like a damn Ukrainian in me.
Hey, we got a damn good show for y'all today.
But let me tell you about what's going on.
This dude is from Congo.
He's a refugee from Congo.
Yeah, he left.
He went to Ukraine.
You know why?
He wanted to live the Ukrainian dream.
He didn't like it in Africa.
It's like, you know, Africa is not a nice place.
Even if you're black.
Yeah.
There's some nice places in Africa, but a majority of the country is.
I ain't going to call it.
I ain't going to do that.
But don't call it what Trump called it.
I ain't going to call it.
But there's some great places in Africa.
I mean, some beautiful places.
South Africa.
Yeah.
There's some beautiful places.
Everywhere else, I don't know.
I'm sure it's great places there.
I don't think Congo is too good.
It don't sound good.
Congo?
You got tigos running around ripping people's heads off?
Big old snakes swimming in the pool, fucking swallowing your kids.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But anyway, let's get serious on this.
Yeah, let's get this a serious topic.
Let's get serious on this.
So this dude's from Congo.
He's a refugee.
Sounds like it to me, but let me show you the full video.
Yeah.
We are black.
So how can we fight?
How can we fight for Ukraine?
If we fight for Ukraine, we are going to die first because we are black.
One day we see, oh, look at those black people.
I think they are from NATO.
So we have to kill them first.
So how could they think that way?
Come on.
Ukraine.
Look at that black dude.
He's looking.
I know, but man, Ukraine, man, you thought it was a great place to go live and buy them nice clothes and that cell phone.
And all of a sudden, Ukraine is a shithole.
Hey, let me show you the rest of the video.
Oh, oh, get this dude.
Yeah, this next video is going to explain the entire situation.
Yeah, yeah.
It's going to get better, huh?
It's going to get even better.
You hear that?
It's going to get a whole lot better.
Yeah.
You heard from that gentleman there.
He's 34 years old.
He's lived in Ukraine for the past nine years, originally from Congo, and he said he left the Republic of Congo for a better life to escape the political situation, the strife there.
And here he is once again, now having to leave another country and is facing discrimination.
Just a little bit more about what he said, Kira, that he and others endure.
You heard enough.
Nine years?
You just didn't get there, man.
You've been there for nine years.
You look like you a damn Ukrainian.
You've been there for nine years working, living, buying them nice Ukrainian clothes.
But you black, that don't make you Ukrainian.
Yeah.
I mean, I can understand if you was there just on a student visa or something, but I like to be you made Ukrainian, Ukrainian, Ukraine, your home.
You know, and them coming up to you, say, hey, man, we're going to give you some weapons.
They see you as a fellow Ukrainian.
Yeah.
Like they took that, they're over the whole race thing.
Yeah.
They need men.
Yeah.
I mean, they got old white ladies and stuff out there trying to fight Russians.
Yeah.
But so they saw you as like a dude.
And like, yeah.
And what I want to say is this: I mean, they got women and children fleeing because, you know, rightfully so, it's a war zone.
Yeah.
When you see women and children fleeing, and then you see a big, buff, able-bodied man such as yourself, and you pushing people out of the way, hey, let me get the hell out of here.
It makes you look, I mean, they're going to hold you to a high standard because you're an immigrant, right?
They're going to hold you to a high standard because you're a refugee.
It just makes you, when you're like there with women and children fleeing the country, it just makes you look, it makes you look like a freeloader.
Yeah, it doesn't look good.
I mean, it looks bad for white Ukrainians to do it.
Yeah.
Able-bodied men.
Yeah.
And then there's you, and then you.
I don't know.
It's going to make you look twice as bad.
Yeah.
It's like you didn't even fight for Congo.
Yeah.
And now this has happened.
I mean, eventually you're going to have to stand up and fight for something and just stop being a freeloader.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know.
Maybe something wrong with you.
Maybe you got a club foot or something.
You can't fight.
I don't know.
Maybe you're blind and one eye.
I don't know.
And you're not able to do it.
You just don't want to fight.
You just don't want to fight.
You don't fight a war.
I mean, like, when it comes to immigration, like, I don't know, man.
It's like, you got to defend your borders from Russia and then you got all these people invading your country.
You're sponging off society.
Yeah, then when shit hits the fan, you take off.
Yeah, it's like you're Ukrainian, if you like it or not.
You've been there for nine years.
Yeah.
But you was willing to live there.
I'm thinking you were willing to live there for the rest of your days.
Yeah.
If Russia didn't invade, I think you were perfectly fine in Ukraine.
Yeah, they was fine when you was buying your cell phones, your caps and your jackets, your nice clothes, and your nice Ukrainian meals.
But for you to say.
I'm not saying he was getting with them Ukrainian white women, too.
I know how black dudes are.
Y'all love y'all some suckers for some white women.
Yeah.
Yeah, but he also said he experienced some discrimination.
Yeah, because he's trying to run.
Yeah, it's some more to this video.
Go ahead.
I had to leave Ukraine.
He is in Dnipro or lived in Dnipro, which is just south of Kiev.
And at one point on the train, that he was trying to get on with so many other refugees.
He said that the guards there said that only women and children would be allowed to board the trains that were headed west.
And that then they saw that there were white men who were allowed to get on, but that the people of color were barred from getting onto that train.
And it was a moment of disbelief for him and certainly one of frustration.
Okay.
I mean, I don't know if those men were able, but I don't know if they had a club foot.
I don't know if they had a cane.
I don't know.
But it sounds like you were discriminated against.
Yeah, I don't know if they were like.
Yeah, but it's like during the times of war, it brings out the worst in everybody.
Just, I mean, man, it's bringing out the worst in you.
You're running when these people provided a life to you.
I'm not excusing people being racist, but I'm not going to excuse your cowardice either.
Yeah, I mean, but maybe he's not a coward.
Maybe just anti-war.
Yeah, it's like, it just, I'm like, I want to say this, like, wartimes bring out the worst in people.
I mean, like, you got these women and these white, mostly white women and children getting on there.
And then here's your big buff black ass getting on there.
So it's going to bring out the worst in people.
Yeah.
Like, see, say, we let them in our country, we provide them with a better life.
Look, shit hits the fan.
They're the first ones on the train.
They just going to, people are going to hold you to a high standard because you wasn't born there.
People, you a refugee.
I mean, I mean, I mean, it is what it is.
People just going to hold you to a higher standard.
And Ukraine talking about their, I don't know, they want to be a sovereign country.
It was never a sovereign.
How the hell can you be sovereign?
You getting billions of dollars in aid from the United States?
Yeah.
I mean, it's like, it's just, all this is like a horrible.
Yeah.
It's just, it's like, man, how can one man get elected and screw the whole country up?
He screwed the whole world up.
Yeah.
He just banned gas.
What are these gas prices?
Oh, they're already going up.
Yeah, he's saying he's doing the right thing so he won't subsidize the war in Russia.
But hey, it's his fault that we're even in a war, Russia.
Well, yeah, we are not taking.
Guess who's paying the penalty?
The American people.
Yeah, we're not taking any more Russian oil.
I don't even know why it was dependent on Russian oil to begin with.
Yeah, what happened with the pipeline you shut down?
Yeah.
Where are you going to get your oil and gas?
You said that was a dirty.
It's like it's dirty.
It's bad oil.
It's going to kill everybody involved.
Oh, okay.
The Russian oil is clean.
Yeah, that was that good oil.
I guess.
But yeah, Bond's a clown.
Hey, brother, stand up for a Ukrainian.
You're a Ukrainian.
Ain't nobody.
If I was in Ukraine, I wouldn't fight that war.
I mean, you're going to win a war against Russia.
Nobody wins a war with Russia.
I mean, I ain't fighting Russia.
I mean, if I was in Ukraine, I would not fight.
I don't even condone U.S. soldiers going over to fight that war.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't condone it.
I'm just, I'm like over this America's being a big brother for everybody when nobody invests in USA.
Nobody gives us money.
Nobody does anything.
Everybody just comes here and sponge off us.
They take money from us.
And now you send soldiers over there to die for something that should have been prevented if USA knew what they were doing.
So the majority of these wars is to preserve that American dollar.
Yeah.
Yep.
Or American dollar.
Yeah.
That's why we fight.
It's not to do the right thing.
It's to protect our way of life.
Honestly, it sounds messed up, which it is, but I mean, we could be living in Ukraine right now.
I wonder what this dude's name is.
Kim Bay or something like that.
From Congo.
Hey, Kim Bae, run for your life, man.
