EPISODE 496: 10M MYSTERIOUSLY APPEARED IN BIDEN'S 2017 TAX RETURN
On today’s episode on Human Events with Jack Posobiec, Poso brings us breaking news surrounding the mysterious $10 Million that appeared in Biden’s 2017 Tax Return and the massive global cyber attack that hit US government agencies. Poso is also joined by Rogan O’Handley, DC Draino himself where the duo dive deep into the Cowardly 20 who failed to hold Adam Schiff accountable for his role in the Trump - Russia lies. All that plus an update on the Russia - Ukraine war from a tactical perspecti...

We are in a fifth generational conflict.
For every lie they tell, we're gonna get in their face and yell two truths.
This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
Christ is dead!
What are the chances that instead of going through with this trial, he takes a plea with the vow to not run for president again like Spiro Agnew did in the 70s?
If you love your children, you need to flee California.
You need to flee.
They are utterly and completely stonewalling.
He's simply sitting there with that smug smirk on his face because the FBI senior leadership believes they're unaccountable.
You have a white guy protecting black people from a black guy and a black prosecutor wants to put that white guy in jail?
Well, look, number one, I don't think you know what the president's defense is, do you?
The Russian Zala Lancet UAV.
At least 250 different pieces of equipment were destroyed by Russians using it.
The Russians are actively using it for counter-battery warfare.
It is a massive counter-offensive with the use of prepared reserves.
The enemy had no success in any of the sections.
They had heavy losses.
All their losses are close to the estimate of what is called catastrophic in terms of personnel.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition, Human Events.
Today is June 15th, 2023.
Anno Domini.
And yes, the pride flag has become the flag of the regime.
The American flag is still the flag of our nation.
Massive cyber attack.
We're keeping an eye on this.
Taking out U.S.
government agencies as This show airs right now, and we're going to keep an eye on it.
We're going to see what's going on because we know that there was a Russian hacker group that came out last night warning of a massive cyber attack.
Now, they weren't talking about the US government directly, but they were talking about US and Western financial systems.
Could these two be linked?
Human Events is not sure at this time, but we're going to be digging in because, as we know, the truth is always in the details.
The NationalPulse.com $10,000,000 mysteriously appears in Joe Biden's bank account in 2017.
Very, very interesting!
Coinciding with the same $10,000,000, $5,000,000 to Hunter and $5,000,000 to the big guy that we're told took place in the same time frame by an FBI whistleblowing informant that we have out.
Folks, we've got D.C.
Drano coming up.
We've got Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer to give us an update on what's going on on the ground in Ukraine.
But we need to dig down on this.
Do not lose focus.
Do not lose focus on Biden.
Do not lose focus on Hunter.
Do not lose focus on the FBI documents, the 1023s, that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Congresswoman, came on here at Human Events for the very first place and explained that there would be more And then we found out what was in that more.
17 audio recordings.
15 of Hunter, 2 of Joe Biden, all talking about $10 million from Burisma that we were told was put through shell companies.
Well, now look at this.
Upon a closer look at Biden's finances, readers were left with a smokescreen which found no traces of S-Corp tax returns from a company known as Celtic Capri.
A CPA, Certified Public Accountant, from Allison Financial Services argued the lack of detail should raise concern for House GOP investigators as further allegations of Biden's potentially incriminating financial affairs come to light.
Republican lawmakers have now announced that they are going to seek clarification from Biden on the order.
Senator Ron Johnson, Biden should disclose and every member of the press on to hound him until he does.
Folks, I said before, I think that we are going to find that it's not just the Bidens.
It's not just the Clintons.
The entire U.S.
government, our leaders, have been bought and sold for years.
And that's why I'm calling for that when President Trump is back in office, when he appoints that special prosecutor, we don't just want, looking into Biden, All federal money that has been going to U.S.
government officials this entire time.
China, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, all of it, they've been flooding this money, Turkey, the Saudis, the Qataris, flooding money into the U.S.
government, into U.S.
pockets for years.
Our government, our leaders are bought and sold, and we need to put someone in the White House to actually go in and clean it up.
And that includes the insider trading.
That includes the selling of individual stocks, all of it.
We are going to go through all of it.
And so, folks, I want to focus directly on what certain congressmen and a congresswoman are trying to do to Adam Schiff right now.
And D.C. Drano is going to come on to explain more to us about what's going on with what he calls the cowardly 20, the cowardly 20 in the House GOP.
Folks, if we are not willing to fight back right now, we are never going to fight back.
Stay tuned.
Human Events continues right after this.
When I grew up in the hood, I rolled with Bloods, and them boys had a saying.
You can't be listening to all that slappy-whack-trimatizolitsabam-ship-nippy-bam-bam like Human Events with Jack Posobiec.

Very excited to bring on our next guest, longtime friend, first time we've had him on this live version here of Human Events, because he's got a story for us that's very confusing to a lot of Americans, I believe.
Where we have, in essence, a Congresswoman who's actually been willing to hold Adam Schiff accountable for his dirty deeds.
And yet, there is a group, as he calls it, the so-called Cowardly 20, that is standing in her way.
Ladies and gentlemen, the great D.C.
Drano.
Thank you for having me on, Agent Pozo.
It is an honor.
Yo, what's going on, Agent Drano?
Task Force Agent.
A lot.
The Coward 20.
It's, you know, the antithesis, the yin to the yang of the Patriot 20.
And what we just saw yesterday was humiliating and infuriating all at the same time.
We had finally the chance to deliver a gut punch back to the deep state the day after they indicted President Trump to go after one of the ringleaders exposed in the Durham report for the Russia collusion illegal spying.
Adam Schiff.
As chair of the House Intel Committee, he had access to intelligence that he knew for the entire four years that he was going after Trump, that this was a farce.
This was a dossier funded by the Clintons, passed through to the FBI, the FISA Warren, everyone watching this show knows what that's about.
So, uh, what happened when we tried to censure and fine him, uh, with a suggested fine of $16 million, half the cost of what the investigations, uh, cost the taxpayer, 20 Republicans decided to join with the Democrats and vote this privileged resolution down and protect Adam shift and it's an abomination and people are really upset in the Republican voter base.
Now, Rogan, this is what I say all the time, that you get these types in there and they have this idea, they say, well, it's going to set a bad precedent.
They say, well, what about this?
What if the federal government starts to use the weaponization of government against conservatives?
And I'm sitting there like, have you not paid attention to what's been going on over the last 10 years?
And if you certainly not paid attention to what's going on in the last 10 Days when we see not one but two indictments of President Trump, the top conservative, the man who is leading every single one of the polls for the presidency, not only in the primary but increasingly in the general election as well.
This is the number one guy on our side.
You should have everyone rallying around him and yet we can't even come up to file a censoring motion?
of one of the top Democrats that led these false charges against him for years.
What's actually going on?
Is there any way to break this logjam or this kind of mentality in the GOP?
Well, so the good news is that thanks to actual MAGA fighters like Representative Anna Paulina Luna from Florida, she's actually, you know, I say she's got the biggest balls in the house and she's pregnant seven months.
And has a busted leg.
And so she's riding around on like one of those one wheel, one legged scooter things.
And so after the failed vote, she rode past Adam Schiff in the hallway and said, I'm still coming after you.
We're filing another motion next week to censure you.
Now, this one is not going to have the fine, but I applaud Anna Paulina Luna for doing that and showing some expertise.
actual courage and integrity because right now a lot of republican voters are are baffled by what happened and and even i was you know some of the names that we respect thomas massey he says oh it's unconstitutional it's not unconstitutional the house has the ability to find people and like you said they're worried about the precedent sense they impeached our president not once but twice
I don't know what platform this is airing, but we'll say something happened in the 2020 election that wasn't so great.
They have imprisoned J6 protesters without trials.
They've arrested now our president twice.
And these people are worried about setting a bad precedent?
Guys, we're in the fight.
The war has begun.
The bad precedent is when you let the bully beat the crap out of you without hitting them back at all.
No, I think that's exactly right.
And we need to understand, folks, that if we have this massive government, if we have this massive system, it is up to us to figure out how we're going to deal with it.
You have to take control of the machine.
You have to use it for your own ends.
Or the other side will simply walk over and use it against us.
That's exactly what's happening right now.
That's what happened in Miami.
That's what they're trying to do in D.C.
with this seditious conspiracy charge, the D.C. grand jury, the Jack Smith, also has opened.
Now, Rogan, is there a way potentially, could they change some of this?
Are there any negotiation going on within the House right now?
Because I understand that they are potentially looking, that she is potentially looking, Carver's Woman Luna, to bring this to the floor next week.
The coward 20 woke up today probably feeling the worst that they've ever felt in their congressional careers because they have kicked up a hornet's nest and they didn't even realize what they were doing, I bet.
Because if you look at what this conservative online mob has done to Bud Light, what they did to Target, we took out $50 billion, Kohl's as well, $50 billion worth of market cap.
Guess what?
Now you guys are the chew toy for our pit bull movement, okay?
We're sick and tired of being pushed over, disregarded, disrespected.
lied to, backstabbed, we're not going to deal with it anymore.
So people like me, we're posting the names and numbers.
I posted on Twitter.
It got over a million views, over 23,000 retweets.
And that's just me, never mind what other people posted.
So their phones have been ringing off the hook.
People I know have been reaching out saying, hey, let's get another motion.
I want to pass it.
I wasn't crazy about the fight, but they're realizing that they made a bad move.
And this is actually how we exert influence, the power of the people on our representatives.
We say, you better fear us a lot more than you fear your donor interests or your leadership lack of integrity.
Because one thing that I've actually been jumping on, and we discussed it on War Room this morning, Bannon called it The most shocking, biggest scandal of the summer, and it has to do with the money.
And what we're finding is some of these people that said no to hurting Adam Schiff are getting money from interests tied to the CCP, foreign investments, Sequoia Capital, Mike Turner, the head of the Intel committee.
He's got a little dirt coming out on Sequoia Capital and his financial ties, McCarthy.
So we're starting to uncover this.
What these 20 backstabbers did is they put a spotlight on themselves and said, hey, everyone, come look at why I'm not doing what my voters want me to do.
And so we're going to expose whatever is holding them back from being true Republican representatives.
Well, this is exactly what I was talking about right before we brought you on that regardless of the different allegations, the people that are out there, the investigations we actually need at some point.
And they're talking about 10 million that was on Biden's tax records in 2017 that coincides with the timing of these payments that are alleged by the FBI informant that this money is coming obviously from Ukrainian gas oligarchs, my My question is, do you really think that's only going on with the Bidens?
We know the Clinton Foundation was out there.
We can see these ties to the Chinese Communist Party and unfortunately it looks like it's not only on one side of the aisle.
Would you support President Trump authorizing a special counsel to actually dig into this very question of foreign money within our government?
100%!
And you know what I want?
Five, ten, fifteen special counsels, separated across the country, all running the same type of operation, so that they can't corrupt just one of them, especially if they're in D.C.
Put one in Nebraska, put one in Alaska, okay?
And then, whoever gets there first, wins the prize.
Whoever perp walks someone that has taken $10 million from Celtic Capri or whatever.
You win the prize.
You get to be Attorney General or something.
We have to play smarter.
We can't just run these D.C.
operations that get tainted by insiders and pressure campaigns.
And frankly, we got to follow the money.
And, you know, for people watching that haven't heard of Sequoia Capital, they are basically the Goldman Sachs of venture capital.
And they're the number one venture capital American company in China.
And the leader of their Chinese arm was up until recently a member of the Chinese Communist Party on their governing council, okay?
Neil Shen.
And they never donated, Sequoia, never donated to Republicans that much.
Maybe like $400,000 over eight years.
In the last few years, they've donated to the McCarthy and McConnell PACs to the tune of millions of dollars.
And guess what?
Sequoia's been making money hand over fist in Communist China, and nobody's investigating it.
That is what I believe happened with Schiff yesterday.
Schiff was running cover for Sequoia.
He called up his Sequoia buddy and says, hey, can you get this thing stopped now that we're not in power?
And that's what I believe happened, and we're uncovering a lot of very incriminating evidence.
Rogan, incredible work, incredible passion.
TheCowardly20, where can people go to follow you to get all the updates?
Because I know you're right in the mix.
Thank you, Jack.
DC underscore Drano on all the platforms.
But, you know, with free speech on Twitter, Truth, and Getter, that's where you're going to find the hardest-hitting stuff.
All right.
God bless you, man.

I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
Alright, we are back here, Jack Posobiec, Human Events.
Folks, I want to remind you something.
We know that crime is on the rise across this entire country, in every single city.
Look, I've said so many times, you gotta get out of these cities.
We had a horrific story in Seattle, I'm pulling it up right here, just yesterday.
Pregnant woman in a carjacking shot and killed.
Unborn child also killed.

I want to bring in here now Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer, because Lieutenant Colonel Schaefer, we had you on, I guess, last week, and we were talking about what you viewed as a preview for the Ukrainian counteroffensive, this thing that's been launched.
President Biden has said this is a top issue for the United States.
We're sending billions and billions of dollars.
We're seeing American armor now, but the images that I'm getting out don't seem to back up what Biden's been saying.
It backs up instead what you've been saying, that these guys are getting cooked in the minefields, the artillery, the defense in depth.
Lieutenant Colonel Schaefer, tell us, what is the update on the ground with this counteroffensive?
So, Jack, thanks for having me back.
And, And yeah, look, I don't take any, I don't know, relish in being right.
I'm sorry that I am.
We're working on Lieutenant Colonel there and want to make sure that we can get that up.
But folks, what we need to understand is that Biden has told us a lie.
He's told us a lie to all of this.
Okay, so they're saying the audience can hear, but yeah, guys, I can't hear right now for a sec.
So, let's see if we can get that worked on for just a minute.
This has been a complete lie.
A complete lie from Biden.
A complete lie from the start.
He's been telling us that this is going to be a victory.
He's been telling us that the United States needs to do this.
He's been telling us all the other stuff.
But folks, we can see the images.
We can see American armor, NATO armor, in these images.
And let's play.
I think we have a clip, actually.
So while we're dealing with this, let's go to the clip to actually show.
We played a little of this in the opening.
We'll show you exactly what's going on, so you don't have to hear it from me.
Watch for yourself.
So, okay, we're working on getting that clip.
We're working on that.
Apologies to everybody out there.
The wonders of live television, as you know.
You can look through this data.
We were told that the Ukrainians were superheroes and that this NATO equipment was going to give them the ability to do anything.
They were able to do anything in the field that they were able to.
Don't worry about the numbers, don't worry about the data, don't worry about the maps, don't worry about any of those things, because we're NATO and we're going to win.
And you Americans, you're going to send billions of dollars over.
And now we saw what happened in Bakhmut.
The tens of thousands of people who died in that city.
For what?
For what exactly?
By the way, those same tens of thousands that could then be turned around and used in this counteroffensive.
That actually was your strategy going forward.
But, unfortunately...
That didn't happen.
And so we see this again, and there's been a lot of theories and a lot of talk right now that when the Russians were looking at potentially doing a winter offensive, and we had experts on at the time talking about this, we were trying to figure out, were the Russians about to launch something over the frozen land, the frozen ground there in Ukraine?
It never came.
Then January, it never came.
February, it never came.
We were wondering what was going on.
I remember the one-year anniversary.
And I'll be clear, even we were anticipating some kind of Russian advance on that one-year anniversary.
It never came.
We saw the fighting in Bakhmut, because it looks like the Russians decided a different strategy.
They went out, and it seems that they wanted people to think there was going to be an offensive, but instead, they sent everybody down to Bakhmut.
And keep in mind, that was not the regular Russian army.
That was the Wagner Group, which is a professional military, sort of a private military organization, side from the Russian army.
They sent down there, the Russians instead dug in.
Okay, do we have Lieutenant Carl Schaefer back?
Tony, can you hear me this time?
Alright Jack, can you hear me now?
I can hear you now, there we go!
Apologies, I don't know what happened there, but yeah, if you can correct me if I'm wrong anywhere from a Navy guy to an Army guy.
Look, I take no comfort in being right.
I feel tragically Well, let's take a breath at the idea that the Biden administration is what I call virtue signaling across the board.
To your point, everything you talked about, Jack, had to do with essentially managing the narrative, talking about weapon systems being the silver bullet, being, oh, yes, well, given this, it's just going to be all over.
It was all, as you point out, a lie.
And, you know, a pro tip here, Jack, never let Victoria Nuland plan your offensive.
I just don't think it will ever go well when you have a State Department weenie who's been completely focused on neocon and neoliberal politics out trying to do military stuff.
And so what we've seen here is massive, over $113 billion either spent in the preparation and being prepared to be spent.
Mark Milley just announced another release of $3 billion today.
And all of everything we're seeing is a massive global virtue signal that does nothing to help beat the Russians if you want to see that, or help Ukrainian prepare to defend itself if you want that.
There's nothing here that's real based on the fact that the Biden administration has lied to everyone, and by extension, NATO as well.
Now, Tony, in terms of the tactical situation on the ground, the Ukrainians say they're taking back villages.
But you look at some of the villages they're taking, these are villages, they're settlements, you know, 100 people, a couple of dozen people that may have lived in these.
I mean, these are tiny, little, minuscule areas.
But of course, the media is turning around acting like they've liberated these, you know, they've liberated Paris, they've liberated Versailles, they've liberated Vienna, but you actually look on the ground, and the facts don't seem to match what we're getting in the reporting.
Right.
You had to look really hard to find actual combat footage and actual reporting.
The only two mainstream segments I've seen that actually are pretty accurate is AP.
AP is accurately reflecting the number of engagements or combat events or battles per day.
I think they've been pretty good on that.
And Forbes.
Forbes has been willing to kind of tell the truth about losses.
One of the things I've noticed is that out of the I think 88 Leopard 2s they've got, they've already lost upwards of between 15 to 20, from my count.
And they're going through Bradleys, M2A2s, like, you know, you can go down to the 7-11 and buy another dozen.
These things are not indicative of a well-trained, very effective military.
Another thing, as an Army guy to a Navy guy, you know, look, I've been in combat with Navy SEALs and Navy guys, so we're all there together.
Nobody does offensive operations in broad daylight, especially when you're trying to breach obstacles.
I mean, Jack, the idea here is that they're not actually following Russian doctrine, Soviet doctrine and how they do it.
They're not following how NATO or U.S.
does it.
And so this whatever they're doing, this hybrid of whatever is resulting in high casualties, minimal breaching of minefields and incremental and I would say almost useless gaining of some level of villages.
You know, bumps in a road that are not going to be something that's going to sustain a victory.
I see this as the Battle of Tenenbaum at the end of World War One.
At the end of World War One, the Germans had nothing left.
They decided to make one more push towards the British and French and American lines because they had nothing left.
They had to do something desperate, in many ways, because almost French warfare in the 21st century That's what it appears like to me at this point by the Ukrainians.
Yeah, it's like the last scene of All Quiet on the Western Front, right?
Where, you know, they know the armistice is coming, they've signed it in the train car, they've all come back, and then the German commander comes in.
That's not the same battle though, is that?
It is the Battle of Tenenbaum.
It's the very last one.
It's when they had nothing left and they moved forward.
Oh, so it is that one.
And they all died.
They were all killed for nothing.
And they all died.
Yeah, they were all killed for nothing and unfortunately when I look at these and I see commentators online saying, well we just need to send more equipment, we need to have more material.
Well what about all the Ukrainian soldiers that are lying there in these broken down armored vehicles and some wheeled vehicles in some cases that have now been captured by the Russians?
Is there no response to any of that that we seem to be getting?
I'm at a loss.
I'm really at a loss looking at these tactics.
And to me, it seems very political.
Yes.
Well, that's woke military.
The woke goes to war, Jack.
That's what I call it.
My friend Blaine Holt, General Holt, and I just did an editorial on this where we talk about this is the new woke warfare.
Woke warfare is all about virtue signaling, Like Millie announced today, we had all these Ukrainian troops being trained all throughout the planet.
It's like a big tour, like a Disney tour for all the Ukrainian troops going out to all these places to be trained.
And there's thousands of them.
Jack, that's not good order and discipline.
That's not a preferred military doctrine where you bring people together, you train them to be uniformly capable of effectively executing tactical exercises.
And then you put tactics together to achieve operational capabilities.
Operational capabilities then, across the board, are linked into strategic initiative.
None of this is happening.
None of this is happening.
You can't virtual signal your way out of the path of oncoming artillery.
Lieutenant Carl Schafer will be right back with you after this break for more.
I'm trying to listen to the new human events with Jack Posobiec.
Okay, we're back here.
Human events.
We've got Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schafer on.
He's just written a new op-ed all about woke military tactics and vis-a-vis the U.S.
military.
Also now what we're seeing in terms of this counteroffensive in Ukraine.
You know, Tony, I pre-recorded an interview with Dr. Michael Savage that's going to be coming out on Friday.
But at one point, I'll tease it a little bit, he mentions to me, he says, it almost feels like we've got these college girls running the entire intel community.
And I said, I said, Dr. Savage, have you been to Langley?
Have you been to the DIA?
He said, no, I've never had the pleasure, you know.
And at a spot, I said, that's exactly who's running the intelligence community.
That's precisely who has been running it for years at this point.
Look, I know the current director of D.I., Scotty Barrier.
Scotty is not up to the task.
You see him.
I think he's gotten to where he's at by virtue signaling all the way.
Those are the kind of officers who were promoted.
And Jack, if you have the prerequisite for being successful in the Biden administration is being able to virtue signal, imagine that across the board in the intelligence community, in the Pentagon, and most definitely in the State Department.
What we've seen here is Victoria Nuland and Tony Blinken driving what should be military strategy run by the Pentagon.
All the Pentagon is, and you'll see this today if you watch Mark Milley's press conference, he talks about how they've spent all this effort to train everybody all over the planet.
Oh, it's a global event, which means absolutely nothing.
It's meaningless chatter.
Designed to create a perception of progress.
It's all about perception, not reality.
And then he goes through, like, an apocalypse now.
The quote of, you know, a grocery clerk.
You were just a messenger sent by grocery clerks to collect a bill.
He reads off, like, the grocery list of what they're giving him.
That's not strategy.
It's not Norman Schwarzkopf.
Jack, if they wanted to win, they'd pick a Schwarzkopf to actually put together a cohesive, None of that is going on here.
Global logistics, precise integration of technology and firepower that can be put into the hands of troops who are effectively and well led.
None of that is going on here.
And so I think in many ways you're seeing here the ultimate expression of Joe Biden's incompetence by the fact it's not incompetent.
It's about the narrative he wants to put together for purposes of politics.
And that's what I'm seeing here.
Biden is doing this because he thinks it'll benefit him politically.
Well, and I think that's been one of the leading theories.
It's certainly my theory as well.
I think that Biden wants to see some kind of gains and that eventually what he hopes for is a victory in Ukraine.
I'm not sure how he's going to get a full victory at this rate.
But it seems to me that he's doing this it's more it's unfortunately it's not about Ukraine this is about 2024 for him and this is about having a victory.
He just rode on the train for what 20 hours to Kiev on the ground to meet this guy he's been sending over billions of dollars because he knows that if he doesn't have a victory When he goes on that debate stage and it looks like Trump's going to be the nominee, then Trump's going to turn to him and say, you spent $25 billion in Ukraine, you lost, and then you left $4 billion on the ground for the Taliban when you pulled out of there.
And people are going to see that.
So he's terrified of that moment coming because that bill is going to come due in a very, very big way.
Do you view it that way?
Is this about 2024 versus actually the good of the people of Ukraine?
Well, since you and I are intelligence officers, we have to assess things from afar.
Yeah, I do.
I think that what Biden's political inner circle is telling him, you need to be the FDR of your generation.
And the way you do that is create conditions for failure.
Because, Jack, the more they fail in Ukraine, the more they can justify additional spending and trying to involve NATO.
Ultimately, I think he wants NATO involved.
I don't think it's a good idea.
NATO is not ready to fight.
You've seen leaders in NATO saying they don't want to fight.
So I think he would be going in with a divided NATO, which is never good.
I can tell you from the Cold War days, when I was doing reforger 85 in Germany, all the allies were together, there was a clear threat from the Soviet.
We were all together, we would have integrated very quickly and fought them.
No such esprit de corps exists now.
So I think this is, again, this is woke politics 101.
This is all about trying to virtue signal your way into a war that benefits you politically.
It has nothing to do with helping the Ukrainian people, doing the right thing for the EU, preserving NATO for real threats.
It's all about personal benefit.
And plus, I think Joe Biden's compromised.
I think there's more than ample evidence he took the bribes that he's accused of.
So it's a twofer for him.
He's following through.
the bribes he took and fulfilling his requirement for that.
And also, he's actually doing things to benefit him politically.
Nobody else benefits except Joe Biden from the complete morass he's created in Ukraine at this point in time.
Well, and the issue as well is that for Zelensky, what I'm interested in seeing is suddenly out of nowhere, we've had all these leaks in the mainstream media about either Zelensky or the Ukrainian government, particularly related we've had all these leaks in the mainstream media about either Zelensky or the Ukrainian government, particularly Because if folks remember, in the early days of that, it was Russia did it, it must be Russia, only Russia has this incentive to do so.
And I remember looking at it, I said, I've never heard of a country Blowing up their own pipelines in the middle of a war.
Blowing up their own supply lines.
It doesn't seem like it would track, but walk me through your theory, because I can't find any historical examples of that.
But of course, if you mentioned anything like that, as I did, as Tucker Carlson did in the aftermath, you're called a Putin stooge, you're a Putin puppet, all the rest of it.
Well now we see, suddenly, out of nowhere in the New York Times, the Financial Times of London, the Washington Post, Oh, I do.
I think Zelensky is the ultimate scapegoat.
at the feet of the Ukrainians for this, particularly targeting their minister of defense, Zeluzny, but also looking at, in general, the fact that they're putting the blame on Ukraine.
Do you think that they're potentially setting up Zelensky as a scapegoat here in case this doesn't go well? - Oh, I do.
I think Zelensky is the ultimate scapegoat.
As a matter of fact, about two months ago, we thought he was going to go down that route of being a scapegoat.
I remember, Cy Hirsch's reporting is out now.
I think someone dumped the information to Cy.
Cy's a great reporter.
I did a shout out to him earlier today.
But the fact that they're now giving information out, or Cy's finding information about the bribes, $400 million bribes to him, to Zelensky, is indicative of the fact that they may be ready to throw him under the bus.
Let me be clear on this.
I always come from the perspective of who benefits?
Who benefits regarding any given action or act?
And I think ultimately, as you and I and others said, Russians didn't blow up their own pipeline.
That's stupid.
And I still think, you know, it's just stupid.
Do I know who did it?
I have a pretty good idea at this point.
I think my eyes tend to swag over to Ukraine with help from the British.
You're a Navy guy, Jack.
You know this better than me.
Getting underwater and blowing things up is not an easy thing to do.
No, but from a Navy perspective, you know, that being said, the U.S.
Navy in terms of that, that is a core competency for Navy divers, for the BUDS teams.
This is something where the U.S.
Navy has trained on this since going all the way back to World War II, the UDT divers, going back to Vietnam when special forces were set up for this specific purpose.
By the way, the laying of underground or underwater mines by U.S.
Navy divers is the first Competency of of that service itself, and I trained as well.
I served with US Navy EOD the best EOD by the way in the entire military I think everybody knows because those are the guys they train on land they train in it for airdrops they train for underwater Navy EOD are some of the top of the top so if you're actually looking for someone who could have provided the training for this look I mean I remember reading the stories about Oh, it was the Colombians who took out Pablo Escobar.
Yeah, of course, because they're not going to admit that it was Delta Force.
Yeah, I could tell you stories about that too.
It wasn't the Colombians, just saying.
Right, right.
We look at that shot, we look at what took out.
But Tony, I want to hold you back over because we're coming up to our third break here.
I want to really go through this situation with Zelensky.
The ability for them to potentially scapegoat him, and then also look potentially at what could the Ukrainians do moving forward if they see other options, if certain avenues are closed to them, with the destruction of this dam, Karhova Dam, right next to Kherson, the draining of the reservoir, they're holding the water back, what exists directly across that now dried out riverbed, that dried out river?
That's the nuclear power plant.
That's the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant going all the way back to the very beginning of this.
And could they take a run?
Stay tuned.
Be right back.
We are now back with Lieutenant Colonel Tony Shaver going through a tactical update in Ukraine.
Also at the strategic level, you know, Tony, I was just looking at here during the break that the BBC reached out to Zeluzhny, the head of the Ukrainian military, essentially the head of their Pentagon, their General Milley, if you will, That's what I'm saying.
sit down for an interview to give them some update of what's going on, some statement on the counter offensive.
He declined the BBC's request for a statement on the progress of the counter offensive.
That's what I'm saying.
If they were doing well, Jack, you'd have a Norman Swartz, Swartz, Scott doing Swartz coffee and things talking about how everything is going their way.
And it's not.
And again, look, my job is to call balls and strike.
I do not take sides in this sort of thing.
And it pains me to say that the evidence so far is that Ukrainians and Zelensky and all the stuff they're doing is not actually achieving their self-assigned military objectives.
And so the BBC would probably ask them some pretty hard questions, you know, and I don't think the BBC would try to do any gotcha questions.
I'm supposed to be on the BBC to talk about this at some point in the very near future.
They've sent a request.
So I think a lot of people really do want to know what's going on.
And I think that the Ukrainian military and the president of Ukraine should be telling their citizens, if not us, How exactly the war is going and how their investment of blood and treasure is being used.
I think they owe that to their own people, and the fact that they can't talk about it is very troubling.
Now, I want to ask you about this theory, and I've seen some just chatter about this, but there's been all this talk about this dam that was taken out just next to Kherson.
This is that same dam, the same area, and people are missing the map of this, and we'll have to get a map up for the next time we have you on.
But this is directly across from where that failed assault took place just a few months ago, failed amphibious assault, where the Ukrainians, they're on the one side of the river, and what is on the other side is the nuclear power plant, the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant.
That reservoir is now drain dried.
It's completely drained dry.
And the reason for this is that Ukraine, which controls the northern part of the river, right?
It's kind of like the Mekong down in Vietnam.
So they control one part, Russia controlled the other part.
Where they're holding back the river.
They're holding back the dams up there.
They're holding back the locks on the river.
So this reservoir bed is almost completely dry now.
You're talking mud flats.
Could there potentially be a move by the part of Ukraine?
We saw they attempted this amphibious assault.
I mean, I'm not even sure what you would call it.
A quasi-amphibious assault, again, on the nuclear power plant there in Zaporizhzhia.
Which, by the way, is not very far from where these current assaults are going on.
So, this goes back to why I think the dam was most likely destroyed by the Ukrainians.
There was no benefit To the Russians, when they have to deal with a nuclear power plant, Jack, that's probably going to go critical within about 20 days.
I think they've lost about seven days after the dam destroyed itself, or it was destroyed.
And I think, to your point, I think this was done by Ukraine, at least that's what it looks like.
Who benefits?
Well, I don't think the Russians benefit.
It floods area that they have control of, so they don't get benefit from that.
It puts the nuclear power plant that they have control of in danger.
That doesn't benefit them.
But it does benefit the Ukrainians in that there's an excuse now why they can't do the offensive.
Oh, it's complicated.
So I think at this point, the people who benefit most of the Ukrainians, and I think it's sad to say that, that I think again, this was a miscalculation by the Ukrainians on what the effect would be of an act of of unconventional warfare.
The long-term damage it may cause to the Ukrainian people.
I just don't think it was a good idea and I do tend to believe it was Ukraine at this point.
And it really seems to be that this nuclear power plant, of course they know, and we all know, that it's going to get headlines, even though Time Magazine doesn't realize it, but actually Chernobyl did take place in Ukraine, even though Time Magazine came out and said... So Time Magazine had the headline, Will the destruction of this dam be Ukraine's Chernobyl?
Actually, no, Chernobyl was Ukraine's Chernobyl.
That was the first one.
But the point being is...
That's a great journalist moment there, not as opposed to a military analyst.
But at the same time, the underlying facts are true that there is a potential for a nuclear disaster here, the likes of which has not been seen since Chernobyl because of what you just outlined right there.
And I have to imagine that Russia is going to need to move to reinforce that territory right now.
I think you're right.
By the way, for your audience to know, I think there's two short series they should watch to get a better understanding of the Zaporizhia issue, which is one is called The Days, which is about Fukushima.
It's about six episodes on Netflix.
given that the situation has now changed. - I think you're right.
By the way, for your audience to know, I think there's two short series they should watch to get a better understanding of the Zaporizhia issue, which is one is called "The Days," which is about Fukushima.
It's about six episodes of Netflix.
And then obviously the thing on the breakdown and failure of the Ukrainians, well, the Russians during Chernobyl, And that's a multi-part episode series, too, which I highly recommend.
But yes, Jack, I think that's the issue now is what what to be done, what can be done about these issues in the short term.
I think the Russians are going to respond to the nuclear issue.
They know it.
I think they can.
They do have experience.
But again, I think the Ukrainians are doing things to jeopardize their own people's future by not understanding the third and third, second and third order consequences of their action.
It's a very dangerous thing for them to miscalculate on, but I think they've miscalculated.
