Time Text
And welcome, folks, to Truth vs. News Incorporated.
I'm Dollar Groninger, producer and host, JD.Consultants at live.com, and this is February the 27th, the end of the second month of this new year, 22, and we've had two rough years, and now we're having a rough two months.
I tell you, things are really crashing here, and we need to talk to the best minds in America and who else?
It's a military mind.
The most dangerous one is Jim Fetcher.
He's just got books and other things that really are pursuing truth.
And Scott is a military analyst that is just wonderful, articulate.
Oh, he knows the inside stuff.
And Holly Seliger, what an intelligent young lady who goes and does her research and knows the insights.
So, well, let's just get started.
I guess we got to go back to Putin and other things going on here.
Well, that's what they tell us, Don.
Putin declares a special military operation in Ukraine.
There are explosions reported in multiple cities there.
He said in an emergency address that it was intended to protect civilians but to demilitarize Ukraine in his response to threats coming from that region.
That Russia has no intent to occupy Ukraine.
Explosions were reported in Kiev shortly thereafter, as well as other cities.
Here you see a map where Russian forces are located.
Meanwhile, gas prices are surging to an eight-year high, expected to rise even more as the crisis escalates.
Jim Stone had this summation of what was taking over.
China has officially declared Russia's actions are not an invasion.
Russia's launched so many cruise missiles, there are many clear videos of them flying by.
A Ukrainian Su-27, perhaps the only airborne, was forced to land in Romania because Russia had already destroyed every landing strip in Ukraine.
We have Russian ground vehicles crossing into Ukraine, armored personnel carriers and tanks.
A Fox News reporter is supposed to have been killed, though I don't have a confirmation for that.
Russia's claiming it's already neutralized Ukraine's entire air force.
Traffic jams to get out of Kiev, but where would you go?
NATO invoking Article 4, that means they're going to have a conversation about it, but no decision to react.
Russia has knocked CNN reporters offline.
America has moved its own personnel into bunkers.
Allegedly, a Russian plane has been shot down.
Meanwhile, an hour and a half into the attack, Ukraine's entire navy has been sunk.
This is not a rumor.
Two and a half hours into the attack, Russia declared their entire military was disabled, but things seem to be still simmering.
Russia is one up in shock and awe, massively, to let the West know hands had better be kept off.
Ukraine is being wiped off like dirt off of a windshield.
Everyone is calling Biden weak, saying this would never have happened under Trump.
Biden is promising tough sanctions in response to what's taking place here.
It appears that Ukraine has been able to return some fire, with explosions reported here and there.
Scott, these were the earliest reports we had.
There's some further updates, but your take on how this looks to you in general.
Well, some of the further updates have been the removal of RT and Sputnik from the European airwaves.
The European Commission has set that in motion.
This is a propaganda war, so they are trying to stop Russia's media from reporting truth, essentially, while the West media reports lies and distortions and deception operations.
So ultimately, I've always said that truth is the strongest psychological warfare weapon.
Nothing can withstand it, especially when delivered by someone of conviction and passion and authority.
And that's what the Russians have been very patiently layering and putting out.
This has been a long time coming.
This has been, of course, since before the 2014 coup d'etat.
This originated in 2005-2006.
I had agency friends that were on the ground during the initial elections back then in Ukraine.
And, of course, we know that Obama, Biden, Victoria Nuland, Alexander Chalupa all overthrew the Ukrainian government in 2014.
To set up this Hunter Biden, prostitute, criminal, human trafficking, money extortion, racketeering operation, otherwise known as the country regime of Ukraine.
And it has been used as a leverage point, as a biological warfare weapons factory holding staging point.
Everything designed to inflict Damage and ultimately containment of Russia in the next 20 years.
However, Putin and the Russian Duma have checkmated that move by recognizing Donetsk and Lugansk as traditional ethnic Russian enclaves that will not be subjected to genocide anymore, which was what was happening for eight years when the Asimov or far right-wing groups were shelling and engaging in killing of civilians and the Ukrainian government cut off the water
Supplies to Crimea and all sorts of other things that should be really recognized as genocide.
So ultimately I think all of this truth is going to overwhelm the Ukrainian people and convince them to come to the side of Russia because it also reflects their moral values while the West does not.
And I think Zelensky and his entire regime will either be routed out of the country, caught and prosecuted for war crimes and potentially executed or, you know, imprisoned.
But I think you'll have a re-domination of Ukraine Very, very quickly because this is not going to turn into a Vietnam as much as the West would like to turn it into a smoldering point and a perpetual burn like Brzezinski is notorious for setting up.
This is not going to be a slow burn.
Russia is going to extinguish this very quickly.
They're going to replace things very quickly and they're going to go out And rebuild Ukraine very quickly with a lot of humanitarian public diplomacy operations.
But the first stage is military containment.
That should be over this week.
And then there'll be the diplomatic information war that they will inevitably have to endure.
The Russians will have to endure the European and Western barrages of propaganda.
But after their exhalation of fury, Russians will say, are you ready for cheap gas now?
Are you ready for liquefied gas now at half the price you're paying?
Or do you want to push this?
Because we could care less.
We're going to sell it to Iran, to India, to China, to anybody else.
But the only people that will suffer are Europeans, because Russia doesn't need you.
Russia has been strengthened and toughened up after, what, eight years of sanctions?
And I'll close by saying, Anybody, including Trump, that says this would never happen under the Trump regime is full of crap.
Because Trump, in a sense, set this whole thing up by quickening the weapons caches that were transferred to Ukraine.
And that has provoked Russia.
And Russia is doing now what they would have done even if Trump was in office.
And I don't think anything that would have changed.
It's bravado to say otherwise.
And lastly and finally, Vladimir Putin is doing exactly what John F. Kennedy would have done in 1964.
John F. Kennedy did and said that he would invade Cuba and take it over if missiles were there.
That's exactly, precisely what Vladimir Putin has done.
So he should be applauded just as John F. Kennedy was because what Putin is doing may actually end up ultimately saving Europe from war, Jim.
Well, I do believe this could be described as Victoria Nuland's war because she executed the coup in Ukraine that brought about the replacement of a pro-Russian leader with a Western puppet.
Paula, your thoughts?
Yeah, I think Scott's right on so many points.
I think it's kind of funny seeing that the news cycle already, you know, CNN and whatnot saying that You know, Biden's blaming Putin for inflation right now for gas prices and stuff like that, thinking that the Thinking that people are idiots, but I will say that Putin single-handedly ended the pandemic this week, or at least removed it from the news cycle.
So I have not heard anything about death counts or anything like that this in the past couple of days.
It's just been Ukraine 24-7.
So that I guess that agenda is over.
I will say that people are starting to realize it seems like there's a quickening where people are realizing like how quickly These These terroristic attacks by, you know, the powers that be are being launched at us so quickly now they have to pivot from one mass psychological operation to another right now, thinking that they can keep people, you know, in a constant state of fear.
And I really don't think it's going to work.
I mean, the more that they try to push this.
So anyways, Scott's right about the history of Ukraine.
I didn't really know about going back to like 2005, but I certainly have been Uh, following it since like 2013-14 when the Obama-Biden regime basically were funding a color revolution over there.
From what I have heard, Ukraine was kind of being bullied by the EU into a free trade agreement, which we know is just always horrible for whatever country signs up for it.
So they were offered like central bank money.
They were offered to have like their debts paid off by the central banks.
And the president of Ukraine at the time was like, no, we don't want to take your money.
So, of course, there was a coup, and like Scott said, even liberal newspapers have mentioned The Nation and other articles.
You can still find them where they're talking about how the United States is funding Neonazi militant groups because they are helpful to our larger agenda.
And Facebook does not censor them at all, even though they are neo Nazis.
And that's what they're being billed as basically in Ukraine.
Like you said, terrorizing people in Ukraine for years now.
And it's basically come to a head.
There's a lot of reasons why Russia has gone in there.
And just one final point about NATO.
It was put there to be as like a pivot to the Warsaw Pact.
And it was supposedly supposed to be dissolved after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
But instead, it has expanded.
So NATO has extended into Eastern Europe.
And so basically they've continued to be this cudgel, I guess, so independent countries cannot operate on their own.
They have to be under NATO.
And now they're also under the purview of the EU.
So these countries can't operate on their own.
And so I think Scott's right.
I think Russia stepped in at the right time before things really started to get out of hand.
There was a lot of writing on the wall that there was a lot of other operations going on over there.
Well, I think that's all excellent on parts of you both.
No doubt we're being played with the Ukraine narrative, with the news that we're being given.
One day after reporting on U.S.
biolabs in Ukraine, the U.S.
Embassy has scrubbed all Ukrainian biolab documents from the website.
They were apparently distributed all over Ukraine.
I do believe, while Scott may be right, that if Trump had been still president, this would not be playing out the way it is.
There might be a cooperative effort to clean up Ukraine, but here's a proof from the U.S.
Embassy removing the Biological Threat Reduction Program, collaborating with partner countries, The current executive agents of the Biological Threat Reduction Program in Ukraine are the Ministry of Health, the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection, the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences, and the Ministry of Defense.
There's a lot going on here, and one of the scenarios I have been given is that, in fact, Putin is cleaning up these biolabs, that there's a lot of sex and child trafficking going on in Ukraine, which would surprise none of us, and that that's also in his sights, that it's a soft incursion, not intended to harm civilians.
There's an awful lot that is wrong about Ukraine, and in my opinion, whatever Putin is doing there is for the good.
I believe he's the only statesman astride the world stage and that his actions are going to be fully vindicated by and by.
Scott, your thoughts?
Well, that's a very interesting strategy in a Shutting down all the bioweapons lab and I would strengthen that.
I would dovetail that with not only do you close the bioweapons lab but you present a case to the United Nations International Criminal Court for violation of biological chemical weapons treaties and say this has been done by the United States, the United Kingdom with Ukraine participating.
They have created labs for the development of genetically Targeting weapon systems using biological warfare, chemical warfare, and other things.
They've been collecting the DNA from the Slavic bodies.
I remember doing interviews about this last year.
So the Russians do have a case that they could take, and they should, you know, take this information warfare to the legal warfare, diplomatic warfare, by saying here's all the crimes that have been done.
And also they should have public hearings
Where they bring up these politicians or military or other figures that they find that are guilty of war crimes, and I know they know who they are, they've been targeting them for the past few years, and actually put them up on camera for these sex trafficking, the criminal racketeering, the stealing from the people, the violation of the constitution of Ukraine, the dissent of Ukraine into this
By public demonstrations and public videos of well-thought-out and very, you know, very attractive legal settings like Reiner Fulmik's doing, you'll win the hearts and minds of the majority of the Ukrainian people to turn.
And I do think the Russian military and the Ukrainian military will overthrow The Kiev regime and institute a MacArthur type of commander-in-chief.
Remember, MacArthur ran Japan for a few years after World War II.
Well, I think a similar overthrow of the Ukrainian government, a re-establishment of a military rule, and then immediately following with elections will transpire.
And, you know, Ukrainian military leadership is the key to announce We're taking over the country.
Zelensky is a war criminal.
He's an idiot.
He's an actor.
He's a comedian.
They had a show using him as a comedian as a psychological preparatory for his political appointment.
That's how the West and the British do this.
And I think you're going to see the military in Ukraine rise up and re-establish the whole tonality Yeah, great point.
And Europe is going to keep falling over itself, making a lot of noise.
But ultimately, they're not going to do anything because they'll freeze to death if they lose all of Russia's resources.
Jim?
Yeah, great point.
Holly, your thoughts?
Yeah, Scott's right.
Talking about the bio labs, a lot of people have been blowing the whistle on this for several years, even before the pandemic.
There's a journalist, I can't pronounce her name correctly, Dilyana Gaytan Zavia, who I had followed a couple of years ago, who was talking about biolabs on the Georgian border, which I think it was the Lugar Center for Bioresearch or something like that.
Very similar to what we had seen talking about in China and the connections between Harvard and the bio labs that were being run over there in China and under the Trump administration, a Harvard scientist was arrested by the Department of Justice for spying and providing bio research information, sharing secrets and whatnot, and a very similar research being done in Georgia with these American backed labs.
And she was talking about, as Scott said, haplo targeting of Slavic people, of Russian people.
And she was really blowing the whistle on these secretive labs, which were taking DNA from people, kidnapping people.
It was horrible going back for many years.
So I am hopeful that that is the case.
I've seen a lot of research, people talking about on the next day, how these targeted strikes coincided with these labs.
And it would make sense.
I was looking for a lot of that research, because as soon as I heard about that, like four days ago, I think at this point, I started to try to archive as much information as I could on the Luger Center, the Luger Lab and other places in Ukraine.
And it seems like all this has been scrubbed within a couple of days.
So it's always pretty telling when a lot of information on the internet, especially from an embassy gets a memory hold.
Yeah, Excellent.
Excellent.
Oh, you're spot on.
Yes, yes, yes.
Meanwhile, US, UK, Europe, and Canada block Russian access to SWIFT.
This is a very bad idea.
It's an international payment system.
This is part of another round of sanctions.
The fact is, it's likely to lead to the collapse or weakening of the dollar.
Meanwhile, NATO has activated a response force to deploy thousands of troops near Ukraine.
Bad idea.
Putin has made it clear in unmistakable language that any interference by NATO will be met with a severe and prompt response.
And unlike Biden's words that mean virtually nothing, With Putin, you can take it to the bank.
He's ordered Russian nuclear forces to be on highest alert.
This is one sign he's serious about it.
Western countries are not only taking unfriendly actions against our country in the economic area.
I'm speaking about the illegitimate sanctions everyone's aware of.
However, top officials of leading NATO countries are also making aggressive statements about our country as well.
He therefore said he'd ordered the Minister of Defense and Chief of the General Staff to transfer the deterrence forces to a special mode of combat duty.
It's not immediately clear what that means, however, but he has warned that if other countries become involved, they will face consequences they have never seen.
Putin's order means Russian nuclear weapons must be prepared for increased readiness to launch, raising the threat tensions between Moscow and NATO could boil over into nuclear strikes, and believe me, wars begin this way.
During a CBS News appearance, a U.S.
ambassador responded to Putin's statement President Putin is continuing to escalate this war in a manner that is totally unacceptable, she said.
We have to continue to condemn his actions in the most strong, strongest possible way.
Now there's a lot of talk against the banking sector.
Gas, oil, swift, it's worse than war.
This is pushing Russia into a third world war, others have observed.
It's very, very troubling.
The capital was eerily quiet after a huge explosion lit up the morning sky.
Authorities reporting blasts at one of the airports.
The past night was tough.
More shelling, more bombing, said the Ukrainian president.
Not a single facility in the country the occupiers wouldn't consider as admissible targets.
He may say that.
I do not believe it.
Putin, I'm convinced, wants to minimize civilian casualties and actually take out national security objectives.
Scott?
Well, he is following the Operation Valkyrie model, which is the encirclement of the Berlin Nazi Germany political government class and the decapitation of them, the removal of them from positions of political power and leverage.
That's what Von Stautenberg tried to do with a small cadre of German officers after the attempted assassination of Himmler and Hitler and a few other of the high-ranking Nazi officials in World War II.
So this is a very well-practiced operation that war planners always incorporate.
Operation Valkyrie, the decapitation of the political leadership, the flooding of the information space with a combination of propaganda and truth.
And really, I think Russia is going at a very lightning speed kinetic operation that will be quickly subdued.
They break the back instantly, and then it's just a cleanup.
And also, they are going to be following up, I think, very soon with overwhelming public relations operations, where they convince the Ukrainian public that it is now that they're truly free.
It is now, with the Russian assistance, that they're finally returned to their virginal state of purity and Hope and optimism as a country and as a nation, because before they were being used as a prostitute and ruined and destroyed by America and by the United Kingdom and by Israel.
So Russia is going to come in with an entire new psychological transformation and identity messaging program, and you'll see, you know, essentially all of the The political controllers in Ukraine now being exposed as thieves, child traffickers, puppets, CIA servants, and you very well could see Putin and Russia initiate a transformation of the entire
Eastern European mind, because never forget Russia, Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Belarus, Hungary, all of former the Soviet Union countries, although they are independent and free and their own, you know, their sovereign destiny now, they have always maintained a conservative religiosity and a conservative-oriented public policy in their hearts.
Yes, they've been bought off and bribed and manipulated by the West, but they feel guilty over that ultimately, and I think Russia is going to assuage them of that guilt and give them a new option for moving forward by, as I've said before, signing non-aggression agreements with each individual country and essentially counterbalancing NATO
And checkmating NATO and these, you know, the UK and the US all in a simultaneous move.
Jim?
Well, it's going to be a bit tricky returning to that virginal state, Scott, but I love your sketch of future prospects.
Holly, your thoughts?
Yeah, I think Scott's absolutely right about Putin going like hard and fast right now just saying, hey, we're going to use nukes if you guys try to step in and try to mess with us at this point.
We're doing this operation.
We're cleaning up.
It's going to be very specific.
And Biden, Biden's just so weak.
I mean, he's just such a putz.
He's just terrible on the world stage.
He's he's meant to destroy the United States in a lot of ways.
He is, gosh, I'm trying to remember the name.
I was only a kid when he was put in power in Russia, but he was like always drunk.
And there's like this video of him and Clinton laughing.
Yeltsin.
All right.
I knew that you guys would know.
Yeah, there's like a video of him, of Clinton and Yeltsin just laughing.
He's just so drunk and just meant to just make a laughingstock out of Russia.
You know, it's a really hurtful era.
It was very damaging to Russia and the Russian people.
Um, from like a psychological perspective to have him in a very similar way that Biden and, and cackling Kamala are out there.
Um, no one can expect even people that voted for them six times cannot expect that they're going to be able to do anything to help America or help Ukraine at this point.
So Putin's in there.
And, uh, if you think about what he has been able to do for Russia, he said a few years ago, we are going to be a self-sufficient, uh, We want to be the number one grower of organic food across the world.
Can you imagine another U.S.
president saying that?
I could never imagine that.
So they've made, they've had record grain Yields past few years, they're becoming energy efficient.
The fact that they got kicked off of SWIFT is only going to hurt the United States, hurt the SWIFT program.
They've basically admitted that SWIFT is dead, which it's an old transfer technology that I think they've had since like the 80s, where it's old computerized Suppose it was instantaneous back then but now it's it's slow system for for using currencies or through different countries and it's It's so slow at this point.
They basically admitted that it's useless, the fact that they can kick off Russia off of it.
It's only going to hurt the U.S.
dollar as the global reserve currency, because then Russia is just going to want to trade with other countries.
And Scott's right that other countries such as Hungary, let's not forget these eastern countries, Hungary put out an arrest warrant for Soros, Poland.
And also Belarus, they didn't go along with the COVID narrative.
You know, Lukashenko said people can drink vodka and play hockey and use a sauna.
He's not going to go along with the COVID agenda.
So in their own way, all these Eastern Bloc countries have really fought the global agenda.
And he's right.
Russia also has Gazprom.
They've got gold reserves.
And with their record grain harvesting, They're going to be fine.
I think it's only weakening the United States the more that we try to sanction them.
Well, let me add, and I want Don to throw in his 25 cents worth too, that if they try to stop Nordstrom, and Biden is talking about it, it's going to create chaos in Germany.
The German people get cheap gas from Russia, half price.
Our gas prices are soaring.
Theirs were about to drop.
I think all havoc, all hell is going to break worth, and it's going to fracture NATO if Biden pushes against Nordstrom.
Don, your thoughts from your perch.
Near Seattle.
Yeah, here in Seattle.
I just have to get things straight here.
Good and bad on all parties here.
Is having bio labs in the Pentagon in Ukraine, is that good for us?
And is it good for the world?
I mean, what were they doing there?
I didn't know anything about them until recently.
Also, is Russia on the good side now or on the bad side?
And how about Putin?
Is he still in power and doing good or what?
I just like to get things square because it looks like things are shifting quite a bit so rapidly I can't keep everything straight.
Well, those who aren't buying into all the propaganda, Don, I think believe Putin's doing the right thing.
I believe Scott Hawley and I would all hold that opinion.
Scott, would you agree?
Yeah, I would agree.
I think, remember, Russia, all of this started after 1990, 1991, when Russia fell apart, the USSR fell apart.
And it didn't, you know, it didn't blow up, it just kind of disintegrated slowly and they made, okay, it's time to kind of reorient and redo everything, and it was a budgetary thing.
And it really represented the greatest opportunity for a humanitarian renaissance of the entire world, but specifically the West.
America and Europe and Russia really could have formed a tremendous friendship society and union, but it was a devastating thing that it didn't happen.
Maybe, God willing, it'll be rectified and it will happen now, But Russia has been cannibalized, it has been dismembered, it has been attacked, it has been criticized, it has been most demonically assaulted by the West since 1991 onward.
And Russia barely escaped that noose, that tar pit that was sucking it down.
It barely escaped that, and Vladimir Putin was the key man who was responsible for that.
Not Medvedev, But Putin possesses the greatest skills of a master intelligence asset, a judo fighter, an intelligence officer, and a political figure.
All of these strands of his experience and skill set and personality have woven together, I think, one of the mightiest leaders on the face of world geopolitics.
And comparing Putin to anyone is like, you know, comparing Muhammad Ali to a blind mongoloid in a boxing ring.
Putin is, you know, unbeatable in many of these ways.
And I'm amazed by his quietness and his humility.
And of course, the propaganda of the West calling him a gangster and a murderer is all lies.
But I have never seen Putin so personally angry as I have this week.
You can see it in his sneering contempt when he talks about the Asimov brigades and these Nazi neo-fascist retards who have been shelling and killing people in Lugansk and Donetsk because they're ethnic Russians.
That expression on Putin's face, I think, embodies and symbolizes the expression on all Russians' faces, and even those sleeping dormant in the Eastern European satellite states.
I think they're all going to wake up, and it's going to end this way.
They're going to say, what does the West have to offer?
Wokeism?
Wokeism is a religion of death and madness.
Do we want to go the way of death and madness and sexual suicide and schizophrenia and transgender this and fear and COVID lockdowns that?
Or do we want to go the way of God and natural law and real human flourishing?
I think they're going to go the latter, and that's where Russia holds.
And Putin has said it by proclaiming, everything the West is doing in wokeism, we did in 1920 and 1930.
And we learned, and we're not doing that ever again.
And the West is now, you know, falling apart by their own hand.
Jim?
Yep.
Holly, I'll take more comments from you about all this as we proceed.
Meanwhile, Trump at AIPAC.
The crane invasion is an assault on humanity and U.S.
borders must be defended.
The 45th president told the conference under Bush, Russia invaded Georgia.
Under Obama, Russia took Ukraine.
Under Biden, Russia invaded Ukraine.
I stand as the only president of the 21st century on whose watch Russia did not invade another country.
The world was a peaceful place because America was strong.
I was proud to be the first president in decades who did not get our country into any wars.
I got you out of wars.
Biden is perceived to be weak, Trump said, which is obvious to the world.
I have no doubt.
Putin made his decision to ruthlessly attack Ukraine only after watching the pathetic withdrawal from Afghanistan, where the military was taken out first, our soldiers were killed, American hostages and $85 billion worth of the finest equipment anywhere was left behind.
Putin is playing Biden like a drum.
Further, Putin escalates matters and further death and destruction cause the more money Putin makes because our oil prices keep climbing higher and higher and higher, where Russia is the world's second largest importer of crude oil and the largest natural gas exporter, accounting for 17% of the world's natural gas, 12% of its oil, where the attack has heavily impacted oil prices.
Trump observed that when he left office, oil was at 36 a barrel, but now it's hit 100, and they think it's going up to 150.
A disincentive for Putin to disengage.
Separately, he observed, Democrats have been saying Ukraine's sovereignty must be defended at all costs, even while they're destroying our own borders and surrendering our own sovereignty.
We have a border.
That's a catastrophe.
The most important duty of every elected lawmaker is to protect and defend America.
And that begins with protecting and defending America's borders.
This, of course, is a lot like shooting fish in a barrel when you're talking about Biden versus Trump on all of these issues.
Trump said if Democrats truly want to fight for democracy abroad, they should start with Canada, where truckers and other Canadians have been protesting for basic rights against the country's COVID restrictions and mandates.
He called the situation a tyranny that should shock and dismay people all over the world.
Remarkably, Tulsi Gabbard was also speaking at CPAC.
The Hawaiian U.S.
Army Iraq War veteran who sought the Democrat nomination in 2020 slammed what she called the Biden-Clinton neocon neolib foreign policy, saying that in an ideal world, our leaders would Hall, James Clapper, former Director of National Intelligence under Obama, before a judge to answer for his lies at Congress about how the government is collecting information.
And they would support the Durham investigation and Clinton corruption in 2016.
Alternatively, they could kill Hall, James Clapper.
Meanwhile, Gabbard was referring to the discovery by Durham that Hillary paid cybersecurity expert to hack Trump's election campaign to establish a narrative to back Hillary's false claim that Trump had colluded with Russia to defeat her in 2016.
The latest strategy and tactic they're using is to try to undermine our free speech by taking it upon themselves to say they have responsibility to protect us from misinformation.
But, of course, they're lying one after another.
She observed, rather than entering into debate with those who criticize it, the current administration opts to instigate a cancel culture for detractors.
I'm sure you've all heard them before.
I have, like today.
Russian asset, white supremacist, bigot, racist, extremist, traitor.
She pointed to the wording of a Department of Homeland Security bulletin summary of terrorist threats to the homeland.
According to her, one is thrown into the crosshairs as an enemy of the state if one even questions this president, his administration, or his policies.
Tulsi attacked what she slammed as tribalism, warning it's dangerous and emblematic of a corrosion of a spiritual foundation in this country.
She concluded on an upbeat note, saying the future path will be lit by the fire of freedom that burns brightly in the hearts of Americans in every community.
Let me add, I think this signals that when Donald Trump runs again in 2024, his running mate is going to be Tulsi Gabbard.
Scott, your thoughts?
Well, I don't know about Tulsi Gabbard running side of Trump.
I would think DeSantis or someone else, but we'll see.
I do like some of the stuff that Tulsi said.
She's got some other problems and stuff, but you know, I'll come back to Trump too.
Trump is going to be the victim of sticking his foot in his own mouth if he keeps going down this path of me and selfishness and vanity and how great he is and how no one did a move when he was the president.
All of that is a bunch of crap and garbage.
We know that he got elected on the simple sentence, wouldn't it be great to get along with Russia?
Every American finally Breathe a huge, gasping, fresh air sigh to say, yes, it would be.
We've been waiting for that since 1991.
Why are we still in a conflict with a conservative, Christian, Orthodox, you know, white people of Europe?
Why are we still antagonizing and fighting them?
They're not the Soviet Union.
They're not Communist Russia.
Why aren't we helping and unifying Russia and making it a stronger country?
Oh yeah, because the United Kingdom doesn't want a US or Russian friendly relationship, and it is the United Kingdom which I would say is probably the greatest enemy of the United States because of its manipulation of us into these conflicts.
So if Trump follows this, well we'll tell Russia, we'll push back on Russia when I'm elected, He's a dead man, he won't be elected, no one will want that, despite his other good points, because we're really at the point of war fatigue.
Since 1991, war fatigue has completely exhausted and destroyed our population.
How many men in the military have been shattered by post-stress, you know, post-traumatic stress situations?
How many in the military have been, you look at Afghanistan falling apart, and our absence Of having any sort of redemption or honor in our departure.
Instead, it was like a dog with his tail between his legs.
Our military has been broken and it is further being broken and shattered by transgenderism and this woke agenda and all of this pushing of liberal leftist Democrat values.
All of that is destroying our ability to fight wars.
It's not going to serve us well.
And Donald Trump, I think he really needs to wake up and be intelligent how he analyzes foreign policy from an American people's point of view.
Specifically, he should be saying, Ukraine is a failure because it was overthrown by Obama, Biden, and Hillary Clinton, and it has left this festering sore, and Russia and Ukraine are now, you know, in a fight to alleviate it.
Trump should have a position of, if I'm elected again or brought back in, I will make it a point to settle all these conflicts so that we achieve equilibrium.
And get off this, we're going to bully Russia into submission.
The only thing we would do is put ourselves in the corner and probably blow ourselves up, because Russia's weapons in many regards are superior.
Jim?
Scott, my only exception would be I think this is just political rhetoric of the moment that Trump, remember, wanted to have good relations with Russia.
I agree that Tulsi needs to come around on the Second Amendment, but that's easy to do when you're confronted with a party that wants to defund the police.
And I will add that if you're going to contrast a touch of arrogance with Trump, with the utter incompetence of the Democrats, it's no contest.
I agree.
Holly, your thoughts?
Well, I think Trump's response the other day or something like that was that none of this would have happened, you know, if he was president or it only happened under Biden.
I do.
I do think he's right.
I think there were there was mutual respect between Putin and Trump.
And I think What makes Putin so interesting as a world leader is that he does seem to put his own people first.
And that is something, it sounds so simple, but in this day and age where everyone is, every country is owned by the central banks and they're beholden to the World Economic Forum, or they're always so busy hobnobbing with other world leaders and the Rothschilds and the central banks that they have no time for their own people.
They're too busy selling out their own people.
Someone like Putin that has a basic premise of putting his own people first, is truly magnetic and respected by their own constituents and their own citizens and he brings up their history too.
I mean the Russians have a history which is thousands of years old and they don't forget it so they still have stories of what happened to them during the Bolshevik Revolution and they remember that and he brings it up and actually discusses it With his own people.
It's not a conspiracy theory to them or something to be forgotten about.
And as Scott said, he's also an expert in judo and the art of war and art of war.
The book says to strike quickly like a falcon.
I'm paraphrasing.
But I love that book.
I think everyone should read it.
I think Trump was a fan of that book as well.
So there was mutual respect between the two of them and how you run a country and how you avoid massive conflicts.
And I think in that case, as we have discussed with Ukraine, there had been so many mercenaries and so much corruption, so much human trafficking, so much money laundering, just so much evil that had been brought into this area as a staging event.
To create havoc in that whole area, destabilize.
It's not just about Ukraine.
It's destabilizing all of that area.
And like you said, with Nord Stream 2, it was meant to undermine Germany as well.
So in a lot of ways, this is helping out Germany.
This is helping out a lot of Europe, people who are stuck in EU and stuck in NATO.
I think that this was a great opportunity.
I'm not saying, I'm not for invasion, I'm not for war, but I'm understanding the point to literally get neo-Nazis out of the area, which the United States is actively supporting at this point.
So maybe all these people, sorry Jim, other people in America who are saying, you know, we need to go defend Ukraine or something, all these punching Nazis people and leftists over here, go out there and go fight those Nazis that we've been supporting.
No one thinks you're for war and aggression.
I caught a little bit of Chuck Todd on Meet the Press this morning.
What was so incredibly interesting was at the break he said, there's a rally around the flag effect when a nation goes to war.
Is Biden going to benefit?
So I thought for sure I'd wait and see what he had to say.
Scottie finessed the segment.
They taped these things in advance.
They cut it out.
No doubt because Americans were saying, how can we get excited about Ukraine's borders when he doesn't give a damn about our own borders?
I think that Biden is going to bite the bullet on this one, and he's going to go down massively.
Very interesting.
They edited out the segment.
Now, get this.
Author Stephen King says Putin's in trouble now because he's no longer dealing with Trump.
King is an amazingly talented author with nearly 100 novels and novellas to his credit.
Rockets to the top of the bestseller list every time, but literature is clearly his strong suit, not geopolitics.
He was roasted after he sought to portray Biden as some kind of tough guy that Putin made a mistake in messing with.
Here's what he tweeted.
Mr. Putin has made a serious miscalculation.
He's forgotten he's no longer dealing with Trump.
Those who disagreed with King had questions and comments for sure.
Some posted reasons why Putin should be shaking in his boots.
I'm sure he's terrified, showing images of Biden tripping.
He can't even walk up the stairs and get onto Air Force One.
Human events host Jan Pacevic pointed out one big advantage the U.S.
has over Russia.
Sure, the Russian army has a lot of tanks, but do they have diversity training?
Some took King's vapid statement as a challenge.
Chamancho2024 said, you are quite humorous.
Let me make a ridiculous statement too.
The world sees President Biden as one of the most capable and innovative foreign policy experts.
And some could see that King's vast experience in the world of fiction may have led to his conclusions about Biden.
Poke him in ghosts, grab your gear, and start your adventure with a ticket for Kochman and Go Tour.
Stephen King made a serious miscalculation, while in fairness, you've spent your whole life creating fictional worlds.
For some who didn't seek things King's way, they realize they do not have a way with words King has that tell a story.
Nevertheless, I'm excited here with Morgan Freeman's wonderful expression.
I don't understand your specific kind of stupid, but I do admire your total commitment to it.
I think that's exactly right.
Others noted that a millionaire like King might not have to deal with the price you pay.
No more mean tweets as gas, price of gas is skyrocketing and will continue to go up.
All kidding aside, the chilling reality is the rest of the world, including our enemies, do not see what Stephen King says.
Here's Robbie Pemberton.
Yes, when I think of Biden, I think of strength and power.
Scott, your thoughts?
Well, I think it's important to return to the very real phenomenon of people's minds are being turned to ash.
Much like a cigar, when it is lit, the flame burns down the tobacco, the cigar, from its green-brown packing of tobacco into gray ash.
And the effect of this COVID-19 vaccine and all of this hysteria that has packed it, which has been a mass psychosis psychological operation.
You and I and Don and Holly have looked at this since 2020, Jim, when it first came out.
And I knew back then What would inevitably be happening and the entire mind of America and these politicians like Biden and these idiots like Stephen King, I've read his books and I just lose all respect for him when he, as I do lose respect for all of these people who try and make Biden look like anything more than a cardboard box.
But the mind of America and the mind of these Westerners seem to be turning into ash, and they're losing it.
They really are physically and mentally, and perhaps it's being accelerated by their age.
As far as I'm concerned, from what I've seen so far in the political diplomatic dialogues that have been emanating out of Britain and France and Germany and this Jen Stoltenberg and all the people, I'm convinced nobody over the age of 55 should be in any political role in all of I'm convinced nobody over the age of 55 should be in any political role in
Because it seems everybody over the age of 55, present company excluded, but everybody over the age of this seem to be in a mental loop or a mental degeneracy or a form of confusion or they are so self-delusional.
They're basing their present on the truth.
On the past glory of America that existed in the 60s and the 70s and 80s.
America is not that nation anymore.
It has no honor or glory that we had in the 60s, 70s and 80s.
It lost it in the 90s and it burned and destroyed it from 2000 until present.
And all of these wars and conflicts all over again, when Trump says you never got us into a war.
Yeah, true.
But he assassinated Soleimani and picked a fight with Iran.
You went into Syria and have been pirating their oil.
You've been, you know, we're part of this.
Continuing to burn down the Middle East and the world instead of trying to put it out and rebuild and heal the damage that we've caused.
We've never had a mea culpa for this.
So there's a major mental breakdown that's coming that will only continue and only accelerate Largely because of the effects of the COVID-19 vaccine and this pathology of wokeism that I think we're going to see the West collapse like a slow train wreck.
Jim?
Well, I agree with you, Scott, that Trump is profoundly flawed.
You know, the assassination of Soleimani is an unforgivable act.
And pulling out of the Iranian peace deal was a big mistake that Bibi manipulated and Trump fell for it.
I don't like those aspects either.
But when I survey the scene and ask, is there a political figure who could do something to make America better?
He's the only guy who pops up on my horizon.
Holly, your thoughts?
Yeah, I'm just thinking about, like, two groups of Americans that I've seen.
Like Scott said, there's, you know, the older people, I guess you could call, who get automatically, you say Russia, and they get automatically triggered into this, the Cold War III narrative, you know.
The cold war that they were raised under and Russia bad and well, you know, I've been waiting 50 years for this.
Let's finally go get them.
You know, I'm ready for a nuclear war against Russia, like they've been programmed to or, you know, let's go destroy Russia.
Not understanding that we don't have a military anymore.
We don't produce anything anymore, especially since NAFTA.
We've been completely hollowed out.
So this America, like Scott said, is isn't there anymore.
There's no There's no standing up to Russia or any of these other countries anymore.
And then there are a lot of people who have this, they share like the Ukrainian memes and like, oh, you know, America is the world liberator.
We're the bringers of freedom.
They get triggered into this.
And no one wants to be liberated by the United States.
Like that's that's really dangerous for any country to be like, America, come help us.
Trust us.
The Ukrainians do not want to be Liberated by the United States.
That's a terrible prospect for most people at this point.
I mean, we just got done liberating Afghanistan after how many years?
I think we probably want to sit this one out.
No one wants to be helped by the United States in that way.
And then just I think it's funny.
I see liberals, people sharing.
Oh, look at these Ukrainian hot Ukrainian women with guns and stuff like that.
And it's like, maybe, you know, you can think about the second, like, this is why this is important, guys, you know, you're, you're talking about a Ukrainian citizens being given AK 47s, and they don't see the hypocrisy of themselves wanting gun control in the United States.
Oh, Holly, that's just such a wonderful point.
I just love it.
Don't you, Scott?
I mean, celebrating civilians in Ukraine being given AP-47, but they want to take them away from us right here in the USA.
I love that, Holly.
That's just... That's a great observation, Holly.
Yeah.
The gun control fanaticism of the tyrants in Canada and America is kept for their own people, but they're very anxious to get AK-47s in the hands of every man, woman, and child in Ukraine to fight against their government being taken over.
I think that's a brilliant observation.
Yeah, absolutely wonderful.
We have just a couple moments before we hit the break, but let me see what we've got here.
Justin Trudeau revokes the Emergencies Act.
It looks like this was a great benefit.
Trudeau credited the end of the lockdown with the Cabinet decision to revoke the measures which he said was needed to end the illegal occupation and clear the streets from dozens of parked vehicles and big rigs.
Critics and opposition leaders criticize the measures, especially those meant to target money and bank accounts connected with those who either organized or took part in the weeks of protests.
It appears he was a monster tyrant, but now it turns out the reversal was because the World Economic Forum wanted to use the Canadian banks to introduce a digital ID, and the run on the bank that Trudeau precipitated contradicted their motives.
This is fascinating.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
A promotional video from the Canadian Bankers Association helped to connect the dots about why the Canadian government made such a quick reversal in their bank asset seizures in the last 24 hours.
As we suspected, it was almost certainly contact from the World Economic Forum to Finance Minister Freeland that triggered the change.
When Trudeau and Freeland announced they'd use the Emergency Act to target financial support systems, banks, and accounts of those who were protesting, they not only undermined the integrity of the Canadian banking system, they inadvertently stuck a monkey wrench into the plans of the WEF and the collaborative use of the Canadian Bankers Association to create a digital ID.
If the Canadian government can arbitrarily block citizen access to their banking institution without due process, however, what does that say about the system the Canadian Banking Association was putting into place as part of their digital ID?
It's not coincidental.
The financial targeting mechanism deployed by Trudeau, Freeland, the Canadian banking system, is the same system used to create the digital ID.
As a result of the government targeting, they created a reference point for those who would argue against the creation of a comprehensive digital identity.
The motive to immediately end was then crystal clear.
That's almost certainly why Freeland appeared so admonished, shocked, and incapable of getting her footing.
However, this does also undermine faith and confidence in the banking system, which cannot be recorded quickly.
The toothpaste cannot be put back in the tube.
The horse has left the barn.
This is now a moment for damage control by the Canadian government.
Why Justin Trudeau has just dropped the declaration of the Emergency Act.
It now makes sense.
All of it.
They're so entrenched in their use of COVID as a pry bar to build back better.
They simply cannot let it go.
Without COVID, they can't keep the vaccinating push.
Without the vaccination push, they can't keep the passport process in place.
Without passport registration at Trakin Monaster, the governing authorities cannot fulfill the mission of a comprehensive digital identity and social credit tracking system.
Indeed, Everything they see is contingent upon keeping the premise of COVID-19 alive.
It's not accidental that the World Economic Forum is at the epicenter of this all.
Don, I'm rather sure we're at the point where we need to take our break.
So, my friend, take us out.
Yeah, this is the 27th of February.
Two months have gone by and one or two months it hasn't.
We recounted a lot of it for you, but there's a whole lot more we're going to do in our second hour.
