In this episode, we delve into the unfortunate demise of Gonzalo Lira, a US citizen and journalist who was detained by the Ukrainian government due to his criticism of their actions. We explore the co...mplex situation surrounding his connection with the Biden administration and in particular Hunter Biden, particularly his ties to Burisma and Ukraine. The question arises: Did Gonzalo Lira meet an untimely end in a Ukrainian prison as a consequence of his outspoken views?

Starting point is 00:00:30 And welcome to Investigators Podcast. I'm your host Chad alongside my beautiful wife, Sherry. On tonight's episode, we are going to be talking about U.S. political commentator, Gonzalo Lira, dies in Ukrainian custody after criticizing Zelensky government. And this comes after Tucker Carlson had Gonzalo Lira's father on his show on X to where his father was pleading with the United States government and the Joe Biden administration to do anything to save his son. There were reports that Gonzalo Lira was being tortured. in Ukrainian captivity or in a Ukrainian prison or jail.
Starting point is 00:01:05 He then was released. He was trying to make his way to the Hungary border, Hungarian border, in which he was caught about two miles from the border. He then was put back into custody where he later died. The report saying that it was from pneumonia because they would not actually give him any treatment while he was in prison. A lot of the reason why he was already in prison or in prison in Ukraine
Starting point is 00:01:28 was because they said that he was pushing Russia propaganda. So if he had a different viewpoint on what was actually going on in Ukraine, Ukraine found out he was making waves. And they were like, we cannot have someone saying anything that is against the narrative, against the agenda, against what the United States and why they're pushing this war so big. So anyways,
Starting point is 00:01:51 we're going to talk about that in Ukrainian history, Naziism. We're going to go through everything. So, guys, it'll be a good episode, I believe. But it's just really, interesting that Ukraine is going to hold an American journalist hostage no matter what. No matter what their views are or what they stand for or what they're saying. I mean, that's just dumb in my opinion because it's going to come out and we're going to know the truth eventually.
Starting point is 00:02:12 So now we know the truth that Ukraine is not the nicest country in the world. They're going to hold even Americans hostage. And then they ultimately die. Yeah. But we have to understand too. And this is something that we have talked about on previous. podcast episodes where we talk about Russia Ukraine, which is also how we got JD on the podcast before, where we were expressing our opinions and our thoughts on the Russia-Ukraine situation and how it
Starting point is 00:02:39 happened and all of this. But, you know, if you talk to people that have lived in Ukraine, you talk to people that know Ukraine, there's a lot of people that will tell you that it's one of the most corrupt countries in the world. And we have done some episodes on this, right? We did initial episodes on this. And then once we started to learn more about the Ukraine, Um, we, we started finding out just kind of how corrupt it was, but not just how corrupt Ukraine was, but how much the West involvement in the corruption was at play. And so that's everything we're going to talk about tonight. I think this is a very important episode because there's a lot of weirdness going on.
Starting point is 00:03:16 You know, you got Chuck Schumer just today, January the 17th calling for more aid. He says, you're not getting any more money for the U.S. border unless we get more money for Ukraine. This is what he came out to reporters and said. And actually, I would just play that very quick clip of what he said today. And keeping in mind, we have a massive border problem in the United States right now. We have a, we have an ongoing war in the Middle East where you have all of these people that literally hate the United States. And so now they see this opportunity for the U.S. border to just come right through because they know that this is their opportunity to come and disrupt America, to come and commit terrorist attacks. It is the easy.
Starting point is 00:03:57 way ever that you could ever possibly get in as a terrorist right now, and that's through our southern border. This is what Chuck Schumer had to say today when he's talking about lawmakers and what the Republicans are wanting money for to secure our border, but this is their deal. Right. Here it is. We said we have to do both. There are a couple of people in the room who said, let's do border first.
Starting point is 00:04:21 We said we have to do both together. So there you go. So he said, you're not getting border protection. you're not getting border money unless we get that money for Ukraine. And we've already, by the way, spent over $400 billion in Ukraine, I believe, just last year. I mean, this is astronomical money. Yeah, I know. And if I remember Chuck Schumer is from America, do you not think he should think about America first versus Ukraine first?
Starting point is 00:04:49 Because that's kind of what he's doing. He's saying you're not going to get money for your own country unless you put out money for this. country. Yeah. Like, what the heck? Well, it's nuts. And it's funny that there are actual presidents right now, like Donald Trump. He's campaigning on America first.
Starting point is 00:05:06 It is the America first policy. I mean, if you look at like the Democrats, MSNBC, CNN and all these, they say MAGA is an extremist term when literally MAGA stands for Make America Great Again. But they also believe that if you want to protect your own country, you're also an extremist. You're a Nazi. you are a white supremacist. You are a racist. This is what they want to tell you all the time.
Starting point is 00:05:33 But look, all they want is your money to go to Ukraine for whatever the bullshit back-in money laundering thing they got going on, which I think a lot of that has to do with it. You know, we see this and we're probably going to see this in Israel, but nothing like we have seen in Ukraine. But you're right. I think Trump should make instead of MAGA. It should be MAF. make America first because we no longer do that. Right now we are paying out everyone else in every other country and we're not even worrying about our own country.
Starting point is 00:06:05 We're not worrying about our borders. We're not worrying about our homeless people. No. I mean, and that's a huge problem in itself. And then thinking about all the people coming over from different borders, we have nowhere to put them. No, you're absolutely right. No, you're 100% right.
Starting point is 00:06:22 I want to play and I want to start this podcast. cast off by playing Gonzalo Lira's message, right? This is what he had to say. He posted a video while he was in Ukraine. And I believe, I think this is maybe when he had just got out of prison in Ukraine or was about to go into prison. But at the very least, this is his first message. It's only about five or six minutes, but I want you to hear what he has to say because
Starting point is 00:06:45 this is very important. We have to spread this message. This guy died in Ukrainian custody. And this is the country that we are spending billions of dollars of United States. United States taxpayer money and not just U.S. taxpayer money, there are other countries also fund in Ukraine right now, but we have to at least listen to his message and hear what he has to say. Here you go. Zelensky and Hunter Biden have a great deal in common, and you should be aware of it.
Starting point is 00:07:10 You see, Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, well, the Cokehead of Kiev, because he has a cokehead, the Cokehead of Kiev is actually a manufactured political figure. He was manufactured by a Ukrainian-Israeli Cypriot oligarch called Ihor Kolomoisky. Now, Igor Kolomoisky was the man who owns 1 Plus One Media here in Ukraine. And 1 Plus One Media is the company that financed and produced. The TV show, Servant of the People, and Servant of the People, hired Zelensky, a well-known actor in Ukraine, an actor with zero political experience or even any political interest. Well, they hired him to play the role of the president in this show, Servant of the People.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Now, Servant of the People had huge ratings, but a lot of people say that it was really weird, the amount of propaganda and PR that was done for the show. It was disproportionate to any other show of any channel, the amount of PR, positive press and all the rest of it. It was really pushed on the people. Some people say it was completely astroturf. Some people who know how to speak Ukrainian and who have watched the show
Starting point is 00:08:29 have told me that it's a mildly enjoyable show, but no big deal. But anyway, the show was hugely popular. And it ran from 2015 to 2018. And almost seamlessly, Kolomoisky, the oligarch, created a party called Servant of the People, same name as the TV show. And their candidate was Zelensky, a man with no previous political experience and indeed no previous political interest.
Starting point is 00:08:59 And Kolomoisky financed Zelensky, to the point that Zelensky today is a billionaire. How many actors do you know are billionaires? I mean, I don't think that Tom Cruise is a billionaire and he's the most successful actor in the world if he's just an actor. Zelensky is more than just an actor. He's the finger puppet of Kolomoisky, this oligarch.
Starting point is 00:09:26 And do you know who Kolomoisky also financed to the tune of $50,000 a month plus additional benefits of different sorts? Hunter Biden, yes. In 2014, Burisma, the Ukrainian oil company, gas company, excuse me, hired Hunter Biden to be on its board of directors to the tune of $50,000 a month. Who do you think controls Burisma? Kolomoisky, the same guy who manufactured Zelenskyy as president of Ukraine. Yeah, I bet you didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:10:07 Zelensky and Hunter Biden are spiritual cousins. They are bankrolled by the same guy. It's funny because both of them have drug addictions, pretty serious ones. Both of them get their money from Kolomoisky, and both of them are intimately involved in Ukraine. But here's the difference, of course. Zelensky doesn't have a dad who's president of the United States, now, does he? Why do you think the White House, the United States, is freaking out so badly over Ukraine? In Ukraine, there are all kinds of secrets.
Starting point is 00:10:49 In Ukraine, well, see, the more unsavory people in the Washington establishment have used Ukraine as their private piggy bank to the detriment of the Ukrainian people. They have financially raped Ukraine, stripping it of monies and assets needed by the people of Ukraine. And this is part of the reason that Ukraine is one of the poorest countries in Europe, if not the poorest country in Europe, because of the corruption, because of how Westerners have exploited it, Western politicians have exploited it. Hunter Biden, $50,000 a month. And you say yourself, well, 50,000 isn't that much. Yeah, but, you know, $50,000 a year is the medium household income in the United States. In Ukraine, a much poorer country, $50,000 a year would easily solve the problems of a good four or five families in Ukraine.
Starting point is 00:11:50 The financial problems of those four or five families in Ukraine for a year, and Hunter Biden was getting that money per month just for himself. Although, of course, in the Hunter Biden emails, there's talk that seems to be true that the old man would get a 10% kickback of whatever Hunter Biden was getting. That was in the laptop. Oh, yeah. Look it up. You don't have to take my word for it. You don't have to take my word for any of what I'm telling you. Look it up yourself and you'll find it. It's very easy to find. Colomoisky, the Ukrainian, Israeli, Cypriot oligarch, was financing Zelensky, was financing Joe Biden. God alone knows who else he was financing. And he was just one. There's a whole rotten bunch of these people. in Ukraine. And they were all busy paying off the West so that they could carry on their little evil deeds
Starting point is 00:12:56 and whatnot. If you want to know why the West is freaking out over Ukraine, you have to understand that they are all terrified that the truth will come out in Ukraine. So there are to go. Listen, there's a lot to be said here. So Kolominsky, by the way, is the guy that brought in and propped up and finaned. and financed Zelensky. Zelensky was an actor,
Starting point is 00:13:21 and he makes a great point here. Zelensky was an actor that was a mediocre actor at best. He was a star, I guess, in Ukraine, but, you know, if you listen to Gonzalo's point here, it's like even Tom Cruise is not a billionaire, but Zelensky is. And it's because of the amount of money, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:38 No, no, but even before, you know, as Kalaminsky was propping Zelensky up to take the lead in Ukraine because, you know, This Kalaminski guy was a, he's a Russian oligarch. And what that means is he's an elite. He's an elite in Ukraine. He is an elite just like how when this war started, the United States put sanctions on Russian oligards.
Starting point is 00:14:02 The big elites that really controlled a lot of things inside of Russia, a lot of funding to government, a lot of funding to weaponry. And really it goes back to this is how actual governments are controlled. Governments are not necessarily controlled necessarily by the government themselves. themselves, they're controlled by the elites and the money that comes in to the government and to the politicians, which is why the very first thing the United States did when this war started was they froze all assets for Russian oligards. They seized their yachts.
Starting point is 00:14:32 They seized their bank accounts. They seized everything. Right. Because they knew that most of the government in Russia was controlled in various ways through Russia oligards. But in this particular case, Kaliminsky is a Ukrainian oligarch that propped up and put Zelensky in the power probably because of...
Starting point is 00:14:50 Yes. And in 2014, this is when this all happened. This is when they overthrew like the government and put Zelensky in charge. No, they didn't actually put Zelensky in charge then.
Starting point is 00:15:01 They put Zelensky in charge later. But yes, we're going to talk about... That's when they started it. Yeah, this is when the United States CIA allegedly got involved in Ukrainian politics and government. This is when the CIA went over and this is
Starting point is 00:15:16 you know, the big 2014 protests in Ukraine. Right. When they were trying to overthrow their government. Yes. The reason why there was protesting Ukraine is because the Ukrainians knew that this was some bullshit, right? And so what the United States wanted to do in 2014, which we'll talk about in a minute, we'll go into depth on that.
Starting point is 00:15:33 But what they wanted to do in 2014 is they wanted a pro-West president inside of Ukraine. At the time, they had a pro-Russian president, someone that was not going to allow Ukraine to be utilized and manipulated and slaved by the West. Okay? So if you're Putin and you're Russia, you say, hey, we have a president in place right now. He is, you know, you have your country. We have ours.
Starting point is 00:16:00 But we're not going to allow, at least I know this president's not going to allow Western influence inside of Ukraine to where then the United States can come put nukes on our border or bio-weapons labs or any of this stuff. Right. So then CIA comes. comes long and says, nope, we're not going to do that.
Starting point is 00:16:17 We're going to make sure that we're going to potentially overthrow this government. The Ukrainian people said, hell no, we are protesting this shit. There were riots in Ukraine. Yeah, they were really mad. Yes, and so we're going to get into all of this. And as a matter of fact, I think their president had to go in hiding in Florida. Yeah, no, no, no, no. Maybe that's a different guy.
Starting point is 00:16:38 Yeah, it is. Sorry. It is. We talked about that last night. But so anyway, so you get into this whole scenario, right? And then you think about Hunter Biden. Well, Colominski, which is the Ukrainian oligart that put Zelensky essentially in power, propped him up from being an actor into politics.
Starting point is 00:16:57 More than likely, Kolomensky obviously has ties to who, the United States and the Biden administration. How does he have ties to this? Well, Burisma, who is the main funder? And I guess he's pretty much the main dude at Burisma is Kolominski. Now, Colominski and the whole Hunter Biden thing when he went over and was on a board of a board of directors. Yeah, which he has no idea what the company is even about. Yeah, he has no clue what the company is about. He has no idea, has no clue about oil or gas or refinery, any of this stuff.
Starting point is 00:17:33 But anyways, Hunter Biden goes, he gets on this board of Burisma. He has paid $50,000 a month plus potentially unknown amounts of money. outside of the 50,000 a month, because trust me, I can guarantee you they're hiding a lot more money that's been funded than what we know about, right? So that 50,000 a month probably isn't even scratching the surface of how much money Hunter Biden was being paid. Now, why was Hunter Biden being paid,
Starting point is 00:17:59 just like Zelisky was being paid? Well, you also have to look at who is in charge right now of the United States government, and who is the ones that are funding these shit in the amounts of billions, 400 plus billion last year to Ukraine. Well, it's the Biden administration. And just so happens that Hunter Biden was on the board of Burisma.
Starting point is 00:18:18 He was being paid all this money in the tune of potentially millions of dollars from Ukraine and some kind of weird. What it seems like it was a, hey, we're going to pay you this amount of money to get access to the United States government to where when whatever happens or however what happens, maybe us United States led, maybe it's Ukraine led. We don't know. But we're at least going to have influence and control the United States government when we're we need something, we better have it.
Starting point is 00:18:44 There's a lot of people with question, why are we sending billions and billions and billions of dollars to Ukraine? Where the hell is this money going and why are we doing this? Why all of a sudden is like, oh, here's, here's all the money, here's money, here's money. Just like Chuck Schumer said at the beginning of this episode, you're not getting your money for the border to protect our country unless you give me money for Ukraine. Exactly. Like we're not going to protect our own country unless we protect Ukraine first.
Starting point is 00:19:07 Yeah, it's absolutely. Like what the heck is? Like, what is that? Yes, basher crazy. but it gets way crazier than this guys but I want at least to give all the credit by the way here to Gonzalo Lira Gonzo Lira
Starting point is 00:19:20 connected all this and he was unfortunately in Ukraine to connect all this which I would assume he probably had to be in Ukraine to connect all this he had to talk with people he had to dig deep he was an actual investigative journalist he kind of reminds me maybe someone you would refer to as like James O'Keefe or one of these people where you have to be
Starting point is 00:19:41 the ground you have to interview people you got to get deep inside of the things to figure out you got to talk to people that's number one you can't just look on the internet to find shit you got to go places you get to talk to be one person and this is what gonzo lira did this is why he was in ukraine because he knew like this is mass corruption on a on a huge scale and i got to figure out why this is happening and obviously once ukraine figured this shit out they're like we got to put him in prison but what they consider this is russia propaganda now before we get to the video, I do want to at least read you the article about the U.S. political commentator that has died in Ukrainian custody.
Starting point is 00:20:17 This is from the Epic Times. Gonzal O'Leara Jr. or U.S. citizen and political commentator died in Ukrainian captivity last week after being charged with spreading pro-Russia propaganda while commenting about the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war. And it quotes, we can confirm the death of U.S. citizen Gonzalo Lira in Ukraine. The U.S. State Department confirmed in an emailed statement. to NTD News on January 15th.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Mr. Lira 55 operated multiple YouTube channels where he posted videos commenting on the progress of the Russia invasion of Ukraine and speaking critically about the Ukrainian government of Vladimir Zelensky. A dual citizen of the United States and Chile, Mr. Lira had been living in Ukraine prior to the Russian invasion in 2022.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Ukrainian authorities began investigating Mr. Lira on March of 2022, days after the start of the invasion and he was arrested in May of 23 under a law that punishes speech that justifies glorifies or denies the Russia invasion of Ukraine
Starting point is 00:21:21 so let's just break this down for a second he was arrested for speech at the very least I don't give a shit what you want to say you can be like oh we have to we have to protect Ukraine they arrested this dude on speech
Starting point is 00:21:35 which then turned into his death period I want you guys to understand that very, very clear. So anybody that's like that's going to come with us and say, oh, but Ukraine this and no, listen to me, he was arrested for his speech, for an opinion, for something that he obviously probably thoroughly investigated. It's not just an opinion probably from Lira. It was something that he went to Ukraine.
Starting point is 00:21:57 He was in Ukraine before the invasion. And he just had a adversary opinion and not just opinion, but probably a lot of investigative approach, I guess. With a lot of factual information. Journalism. You know, when you're there on the ground, you're going to see the facts right in front of you. You know, when you're on the internet,
Starting point is 00:22:20 you don't see it so much. But when you're on the ground, you see everything and you see how everything's playing out. Yeah. And this guy was there to do that. Well, we talked, by the way, we talked to one of our friends. We were at our friends house July 4th this past summer.
Starting point is 00:22:34 We won't say names or anything. But, you know, it was, It was one of my best friends, but his wife, you know, she lived in Ukraine for quite a while. And so we had talked about, hey, we had done episodes on Russia Ukraine. And I was like, what do you think of Ukraine? Because she's like, I live there, actually. She lived there for, I don't remember exactly how long. It was like a couple years.
Starting point is 00:22:55 Yeah, maybe. Something like that. And she said, what I can tell you is, and she's, by the way, not political in either side. She probably has no idea about what Republicans believe are Democrats. But she's like, what I can tell you is, you can. Ukraine is one of the most corrupt places I have ever seen or been. And this was obviously prior to the Russia thing, Zelensky. I mean, it might have been in Zelensky term.
Starting point is 00:23:17 I don't know. But at the very least, it was very corrupt. It was very jaded. And if you talk to many people that live in Ukraine, it was also that way. But there's a reason why, too, that, you know, people like Gonzalira, they have to control that narrative, that speech. because if their people find out how corrupt and how screwed up things really are, people will revolt and they will lose their country
Starting point is 00:23:42 because they were already in corruption to begin with. It's similar to if you've ever heard the term, like if you hang around the wrong people, you're probably going to get in some wrong shit. And that's what Ukraine was doing. They were hanging around and being influenced by the wrong people, which is a.K. the West, I hate to say it, but they were used.
Starting point is 00:24:00 And because of that, now they're facing the consequences, which I guess in some ways, United States, they're like, well, we've got to protect them now because we actually kind of got them here. But also they're using this to their advantage as well. They're making tons of money off this. Off our own taxpayer money. And I think that's why J.D. reached out to us.
Starting point is 00:24:17 You know, he was a dude from America that came to Ukraine to help the Ukrainians fight the war first. And now he's on the, you know, the front lines, I guess. Yeah, with the Ukrainian military. But he was really pissed at us by questioning Ukraine's integrity, I guess. Yeah. You know, about what's going on. He's like, you are totally wrong.
Starting point is 00:24:38 You don't understand this. But the more and more things are coming out, you know, the reason why we first came out about that was there was another American. Yeah. Wasn't he an American? He is. Yeah. He's an American veteran. And he came out and said, there's actual Ukrainians bombing their own selves to make it look like it's Russians.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Yeah. And that's what we're talking about that night when J.D. got pissed on us. remember? Yeah, and that's called a false flag. Yeah, but Ukrainians were actually coming out and saying the same thing. They saw it. Yeah. I mean, he interviewed a lot of people in the streets and said this was Ukrainians.
Starting point is 00:25:15 And by the way, a lot of those people said this was Azov Battalion. Because Azov Battalion, which we're going to get into, by the way, who is Azov Battalion? Do they have ties to Nazism? Is Nazism still going around in Ukraine? Like, how big is that in Ukraine right now? We're going to get into that kind of a little bit of history. That has got to be a huge. huge topic of their history.
Starting point is 00:25:35 It is. And it is, absolutely. So, so Ukrainian captivity, so while jailed ahead of trial, Mr. Lira alleged that his fellow inmates did the dirty work for the prison guards by repeatedly beating him. Ukrainian authorities denied those claims,
Starting point is 00:25:52 but Mr. Lira managed to post bail in July of 2023 and took to social media and YouTube thereafter to announce that he intended to flee Ukraine and seek asylum in Hungary. And at that time, he explained that he felt that there were few chances to flee east, though the active combat zone, or sorry, through the active combat zone to find safety in Russia. So while he said, he also believed that most countries border in Ukraine to the West would simply return him if asked by Ukrainian authorities. He predicted he might have a chance of finding asylum in Hungary.
Starting point is 00:26:24 And we've talked about Hungary, by the way. Hungary is not necessarily part of the world system, the world governance. Hungary has their own shit going on. They have very secure borders. The West and European Union and NATO are coming down hardcore on Hungary because they're not, they're not, they're not, they are one of the last people to stand their ground is like, this is our country. As far as NATO, yeah. We want freedom. We want prosperity for our people.
Starting point is 00:26:49 And so European Union, NATO and the West are saying, oh, and you know what? Okay, fine. You ain't going to join us and you're not going to go along with every single thing we say. Then we're going to, we're going to come down hard on your ass. We're going to, we're going to sanction you. we're going to restrict trade. We're going to do all this shit. All they're trying to do, the West,
Starting point is 00:27:06 aka European Union and NATO and all this, they're trying to make life hell in Hungary until they submit. All because they want to be a sovereign country. Yes, absolutely. A country on their own where they don't rely on anybody and no one relies on them. They just want their own country.
Starting point is 00:27:24 You're 100% right. So Tucker Carlson mentioned this, obviously. Like I said, Tucker Carlson broke this. I want to play Tucker Carlson's peace on this or at least part of this. And guys, this is very important. And I want you guys to share this. I mean, share this especially with anyone that's like, oh, we got to defend Ukraine. We have to do this.
Starting point is 00:27:42 There are always two sides of a story. And if JD's listening out there, which we've had JD on many times, I just say that like, JD's a great guy. And we've had him on the podcast many times. And Sherry and I have talked a couple of times just randomly. And we'll say, especially the more we find out, the more we hear about. We've even asked J.D.
Starting point is 00:28:01 this on the podcast. Now that he's fighting on the front lines, he is an American veteran. And I worry about him. I mean, we both worry about him. And I'm always checking up to make sure he's posting something every few days, see where he's at. I just don't want J.D., to die for Ukraine if it is a very corrupt system of how this whole thing goes.
Starting point is 00:28:19 I understand that he's on the ground with the people of Ukraine. He sees the people. But that's not necessarily who's in charge. He doesn't care necessarily about. the corruption and all that stuff there. But I do worry about him fighting a war that is maybe
Starting point is 00:28:36 I don't know, that's agendaized. Yeah, but supposedly he's a nerd about Russia in history of Russia. He says he is the world's most nerd when it comes to Russia. So I guess, you know,
Starting point is 00:28:53 putting that in place, he has his reasons why he's backing Ukraine. Absolutely. Yeah. And and so maybe after this episode because listen we're just giving our thoughts and opinions on this and hopefully we can get JD back on if he if he hears this episode he can you know I guess rebuttal some of this if he wants to
Starting point is 00:29:13 but right now we're focused on gonzola lira we are focused on what gonzola lera had to say and what he did I want to play this tucker carlson clip to you guys of what tucker cross and to say because it's very important here you go February of 2020 the Russian military rolled across the border of eastern Ukraine. And then for the next year and a half, the American media and political establishment spent, what's fair to say, a disproportionate amount of time talking about Ukraine and America's
Starting point is 00:29:44 obligation to support Ukraine and pay for Ukraine's military and its government and, of course, support it morally and above all to hate Russia. And most Americans obeyed. Politicians wore Ukrainian flags on their lapels. American citizens put Ukrainian flags on their mailboxes and on their bumper stickers. But one thing most Americans didn't get a lot of was actual news from Ukraine. What was it like to live there? What was happening inside that country that we were supporting and paying for?
Starting point is 00:30:13 Well, you couldn't really know because there's virtually no coverage of it. But on social media, there were a few people reporting, in what seemed like a pretty honest way, from within Ukraine. And one of them was an American citizen called Gonzalo Lira. He'd lived in Ukraine for quite some time, and he posted, particularly on Twitter, his accounts of what life was like there and his view of how the war was going. And so for people who were interested in what was happening, he was worth watching. Here's one of his reports. The Russian economy is sailing on, sailing on. European economy, people are starting to die of hypothermia in the UK because they don't have access to the cheap energy of Russia from before.
Starting point is 00:30:56 see and so everything that the west has thrown at the Russians has boomeranged right back at them and so now they're panicking and they're trying to figure out a way out of this situation and they figure that if they throw more tanks it'll help it won't help the right the Ukrainians rather they had like something like 2,000 tanks before the start of this conflict you think a couple of hundred now is going to help I mean why are they asking them because those 2,000 tanks are gone as basic you know and so what a couple of hundred maybe 300 tanks. Is that going to change the outcome of the conflict? Oh, well, the Russians are just going to destroy them. In the West, all of the propaganda has said that, you know, Zelensky is a hero,
Starting point is 00:31:38 a Winston Churchill figure, you know, and the Kiev regime are just angels and stuff like that. No, they're bloodthirsty murderers, the Kiev regime. I'm telling you right now. So he made a couple of points. One, Russia is not losing the war with Ukraine. Russia is winning. Two, the Russian economy, despite the sanctions from the United States and Western Europe, and despite the war, has not been destroyed. The Russian economy is actually fine, and in some ways it's improving. It's becoming more independent, more commodities-based, and that's an advantage for a country with a lot of commodities like Russia. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy and U.S. military power has suffered as a result of the war. Now, Lira, to the extent that people responded to him in this country in our media was denounced as a Russian puppet and a liar and a propagandist, but in the U.S. In fact, now we can admit he was right. What you just heard was true, factually true.
Starting point is 00:32:30 Russia is not losing the war in Ukraine. Russia is winning. Russia's economy is fine. Ours is not. So what happening in Zalilera? Well, for posting that video and others like it, he was arrested by the government of Ukraine, the one that we pay for, the supposed democracy that we support for moral reasons against the autocracy of Russia. He was arrested. And then he was let out. And then he tried to leave the country. He tried to leave Ukraine. Here's a video.
Starting point is 00:33:00 His last video. This is Gonzalo Lira. I will definitely be sent to a prison labor camp where I will most certainly die. And so I decided that the smart thing was take my chances in terms of getting across the border. Right now, I'm maybe five kilometers away from the, border with Hungary. Over the last two days, I rode my bike just about 1,300 kilometers from Karakov all the way here to the border. And my intention is to cross the border, get to Hungary, and in Hungary I'm going to ask for political asylum. So either I will cross the border into Hungary in the
Starting point is 00:33:58 next couple of hours or I will be arrested again and God knows what will happen to me. He never made it. Yeah, he never made it. He was picked up and I want to point something out here. When Tucker did this video, he did not know that Gonzalo or Gonzalo, sorry, I'm saying his name wrong, Gonzalo Lira is now dead, right? So Tucker did post an update on this. But Gonslow Lira himself said that if I get caught or I have to go back there, I'm going to die.
Starting point is 00:34:36 Yeah, I'm going to die. There's no question. He got beaten in prison. He was put through hell because he had an opinion that was not of the West or not of Ukraine. And this is bullshit. And by the way, this is what the United States government and media want you to also believe yourself. If you're a United States citizen or a Canadian citizen or anybody else, If you speak against the government, you are a terrorist.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Look at January 6th. Now they're going after, by the way, January 6 people, they're going after people that didn't even enter the Capitol. They are literally starting to go after people that were just in the outskirts. They were in the protest. They were around the Capitol and they're starting to go after those people. They are making a very clear statement. They are pieces of shit globalist and that you are nothing to them.
Starting point is 00:35:22 And if you go against our authoritarianism, that we're going to put you in prison. We're going to jail you and we're going to make you suffer. This is the shit we're living in. This is, and if you believe in the Bible, this is in time stuff. This is stuff that like if you don't agree with what we say
Starting point is 00:35:39 and our lies and all of our bullshit, you're going to end up in prison, we're going to torture you and you're going to eventually die. I mean, look at the January 6th protesters. Even the people that went in January 6th, doesn't matter. There were people that still do not have a trial set. There were people that had cancer that would, was refused cancer medications in custody.
Starting point is 00:35:59 There are people, and by the way, this is something I've thought about as well. There's been a few people send us some stuff recently about commentators, people that have commented on January 6th in support of January 6th prisoners. The FBI is showing up at their house. Literally, they're showing up at their house and trying to charge them with crimes. People have cynicism. And they said, hey, you better watch out. You know what?
Starting point is 00:36:26 Fuck that. I mean, sorry, I hate to say that. No, that's bullshit. But getting back to this guy, like this sucks for him. He was out there reporting, doing independent journalism, trying to get everyone the truth or what he sees as the truth and get it and spreading the word. And he gets arrested in Ukraine for saying something that Ukraine doesn't like. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:50 By the way, I think he's right, though. Yeah. And he's in these jails for some time. and finally they let them go. It's almost like this is what it reminds me of. Okay, we're going to release you, but we're going to have our guns on you and you have to run and you have like 20 seconds to get out of our view or we're going to kill you.
Starting point is 00:37:07 No, but he posted the bell, so they took his money. And obviously they knew exactly where he was at all times. Yeah, they knew where he's going. Yeah, they knew. And they knew they're not going to let him go because he was two miles, five kilometers, I think is two miles. Who knows? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:37:21 I don't know. It's close. Whatever. I think it's like two miles from the bar. border. Yeah. And they came and got him back. And at that time, he knew he was dead.
Starting point is 00:37:29 And that's just so sucky for somebody to even, like, have freedom of speech and talk about, you know, things that's going on that he's seeing. And he's going to be killed for that. Well, you got to think. I mean, I've thought about this. I mean, when people send us stuff to where. Because I don't think he died of, I'm sorry. I don't think he died of pneumonia.
Starting point is 00:37:50 I think they killed him. Yeah, potentially. But I don't, you know, it. It's to the point. I mean, it's like Jeffrey Epstein, you know, how he just miraculously killed himself. And although nothing points that he actually killed himself. If the deep state and the globalist want you dead, you're going to be dead. And make no mistake, in my opinion, I think Ukraine is definitely a part of global system.
Starting point is 00:38:09 They are heavily funded by the West, which is heavily involved in globalism. And you have this guy like Gonzalo Lira that was very devout in his beliefs. And he was willing to die for it. He knew that he was willing to die for the truth. And just so everyone knows, so are we. I mean, I hate to say that, or so am I. I don't know about Sherry. Sherry's looking at me like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:38:34 I don't know about that. But I'm just telling you right now, like, I'm not going to quit speaking the truth, no matter what the threat is. It doesn't matter. Because this is bullshit, and we have to tell as many people as we can possibly tell. And that's why I encourage all of you to share this episode. Let people know that, hey, this is what Ukraine does in situations like, this. Now, is there a bigger story here? Well, we don't know. I don't necessarily think so.
Starting point is 00:38:58 We've heard so many different accounts of this. Every account I've heard of this seems legit. Every person I've ever talked to that lived in Ukraine says it's corrupt. And then what we're going to end this episode with over the last, or I guess the last segment of this is, is we're going to kind of prove how corrupt this system is. And but let's let's finish what Tucker Carlson says here. Go ahead, babe. Sorry, you want to say. Well, I was just since I was going to say this whole thing is so iffy because of the way Zelensky even came in office. Before Zelensky was the other president, which all Ukrainians loved, right? Well, and then when they kicked it.
Starting point is 00:39:35 They didn't not like him. Well, they liked him a lot, but they kicked him out and brought him in. And he's an actor. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, he's an actor. I mean, he's still acting. He's doing great at it so far. All right, here you go.
Starting point is 00:39:52 Well, actually, it would. help if I didn't mute. It was on unmute already, but anyways, here you go. Five kilometers, rather, from the Hungarian border, he was arrested. Gonzalez-Lera remains in prison tonight, a political prisoner in a country that we were told was free, the country whose government we are still paying for. The Biden State Department is uninterested in the fate of this American citizen. In fact, of course, they support his imprisonment, and no one in the national media seems interested in his fate whatsoever. So we thought it would be worth speaking to his father,
Starting point is 00:40:26 Gonzalo Lira, Sr., who joins us now from Chile. Mr. Lira, thanks so much for joining us. And by the way, I just want to point this out real quick. I do want to play part of his father's plea to the United States because I think this is very important. I want you guys to hear it. Even if you've heard it before, I want you to hear part of it again,
Starting point is 00:40:46 and we're going to talk about it. Here you go. Do you know where he is? And do you know how he's doing? Thank you, Tucker. Thank you. For the opportunity of saying what is going on with my son, Gonzalo. Today, we'll mark the seventh full month that has been arrested in Ukraine.
Starting point is 00:41:06 He has not gone into trial. He's awaiting trial. He was appointed a court attorney that doesn't speak English. He's an Ukrainian attorney. insofar as the U.S. Embassy, they haven't done a thing. Neither I nor his sister living in the USA, and I'm reading because I don't want to lose anything, neither I nor his sister living in the USA,
Starting point is 00:41:39 have been able to communicate with Gonzalo. He's incommunicado. The U.S. Embassy has not answered our inquiry. The embassy in Teeth never offered a defense attorney, never visited him, except for the first time his court appointment last November 8th. The embassy has just burned out, Gonzalo. An American citizen by birth is in jail because he was exercising his right of freedom of speech. His defense, as I said before, is in the hands of a court appointment, Ukrainian attorney that doesn't speak any English. The USA government, with its silence in the face of this scandalous incident, suggests a degree of complicity.
Starting point is 00:42:39 Okay, I got to pause for a second because I got to point out something. So Gonzalo Lera had a court-appointed attorney that did not speak English. Now, what does this remind me of? And I hate to even bring this dude up. But it's Andrew Tate. When Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate got arrested, right, in Romania, and they were arrested and they were put in a prison cell. They were treated pretty harshly.
Starting point is 00:43:03 They had roaches crawling all around their cells. And they got eventually, I think two weeks later, they got papers that said, hey, here's what you're charged with. I think even the papers were not in English. They didn't know what the hell these papers said. Right. They got a lawyer that said had no English. So Tristan and both Andrews said for like two to three, four weeks, we had no
Starting point is 00:43:29 idea what the hell were even in prison for. Had no idea. And this is what they do because. Yes, that's what they do. But would you not think our embassy there would be out there helping him? Because I know there's Americans in every country. We have American emperancies everywhere. Listen, listen.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Why would they not like go and help this guy? Because they're not going to help him because it, I mean, listen, it goes back to Andrew Tate, like whether or not we agree with Andrew Tate and all the shit he says and all that stuff. And I don't, by the way, and we've made that very clear. I know. I know. I get it. But this makes everything what I'm trying to say makes sense.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Andrew Tate was on those people that came out and. pro-masculinity. At the very least, he was, did not do a great job of how he portrayed that necessarily, but it was freedom of speech. It was a way to bring up manhood and kind of like, you know, the same way that the globalists are trying to demasculate, sorry, demasculine men, they're trying to make beta males. You know, you have people like Andrew Tate and some others that are trying to alpha-mell men, right? But then you have people also like Gonzalo Lira that is just trying to speak truth. The globalist system is not going to allow people to rise up and speak out against any of
Starting point is 00:44:47 their agendas, whether it be to make alpha males, whether it be to spread the truth, whether it be any of this shit, anything that is against their agenda, which is why the globalist system, they want beta males. They want you to get into their system of, hey, you're going to accept this or you're not going to be accepted, right? So whatever your religious views are, your belief systems, your sovereignty of your nation, any of this shit, no, we don't care about that. And if you speak up against that, up against our agenda, then you are going to be canceled. You're going to be put in prison. You're going to be labeled a terrorist. And that goes for all of this, all aspects. So
Starting point is 00:45:28 Andrew Tate is in some ways in connection with Gonzalo Lira. Andrew Tate speaks a lot of messages about how men need to empower themselves. Don't be a beta male. Now, there's a lot of shit that he says is very wrong, in my opinion. But Gonzo Alira is someone that was speaking the truth about Ukraine. He saw what was going on. He was there firsthand. And he was also not just canceled.
Starting point is 00:45:55 He wasn't like put off the internet. He was put in prison. Which, by the way, is the next step for the United States in Canada and Australia and New Zealand. This is the next step for you. you think that being banned on social media is bad. What about if you're banned from your everyday life, aka put in prison? Because that is the next step.
Starting point is 00:46:13 In a different country that you don't even belong to. Or in your own country. Because it's going to come to our own country. Yeah, that's true too. I mean, that's why you have everyone crossing the border that has nothing to do with the United States. They don't give a damn about the United States. And now they're trying to say,
Starting point is 00:46:29 hey, you can vote without a license. You know, they tried to use that for the black community by saying, oh, there's a lot of black people that don't have license to vote. They don't have IDs to vote, which is all bullshit. But the reason they really wanted to do that and push that agenda was for all the people coming across the border. They want to change everything about everything you know about your country. And they got to do this in various ways. But one of the ways is that they got to silence any dissenting voices.
Starting point is 00:46:59 And Gonzalo Lira was in Ukraine. It heavily affected the West and what the West was trying to accomplish, especially the Biden administration with Hunter Biden's involvement in Burisma, which was funded and actually Colominski was in charge of that,
Starting point is 00:47:16 which is who put Zelensky in charge of Ukraine, essentially. He brought Zelensky to power. He also brought the Biden administration into power. And so I would love to know Kolominski's connections as far as the globalist movement, because I'm telling you, I guarantee you, this dude is highly connected through the world economic form and all those private meetings and all this shit they're doing. Kolomensky is definitely one of those guys. And this is what we're seeing.
Starting point is 00:47:43 But you have a journalist here that died in custody of Ukraine, this supposedly so sovereign American journalist. Yeah, absolutely. Let's listen to a little bit more about what his father had to say. Carlos Arrest. since nothing else convincingly explains the conspicuous lack of response. Let me just read further if I may, Tucker. I hope you will. Gonzalo was arrested last year.
Starting point is 00:48:15 On April the 15th, Good Friday, until the next Friday 22nd, for that four week, without any charges. He was simply detained. They stole all of his equipment. He couldn't continue working after he was released for at least two, three weeks trying to obtain equipment to continue. His criticism of Zelensky Nazi regime supported by the U.S. government by Mr. Biden, who makes, you know, he is making gargles, you know, that we have to defend. defend democracy. What democracy? Ukraine has never had democracy, let alone today with this man Zelensky. He's a well-known dictator. They were going to have elections, Tucker, and they
Starting point is 00:49:09 canceled those elections. During the Vietnam War, there were elections in South Vietnam. In the middle of the war, Tucker, if you remember. I do remember. I lived O'Sheas in the USA. Let me say more. Last April 27th of this year, Gonzalo put on a web video, this time, and for the first time, Tucker, heavily criticizing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Four days later, the Zelensky police detains Gonzalo through that terrible sinister Gestapo called SPU. My thinking is that the Democratic Party establishment will try to get rid of Joe Biden and shoehorn in Kamala Harris. Because Kamala Harris make no mistake about it.
Starting point is 00:50:08 She's an idiot. I mean, she is, I mean, I seriously believe that she has under 90 IQ points. I mean, she is so stupid. Isn't it odd, Tucker, that four days later, after condemning Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Gonzalo is arrested? Why was he not detained earlier when he was let go the previous year, May 22nd of last year, Gonzalo continued the same language, the same criticism against the war. He predicted from day one category that Ukraine would never win a war against Russia.
Starting point is 00:50:46 He also said, this is going to bleed the USA and the NATO countries holding on for Ukraine to hold a battle with Russia, which will never be one, will never be, you know, succession. Did the state department, Tucker, give the green light to Zelensky to put my son in jail? This is something that it is unbelievable. I mean, the obvious conclusion is if the U.S. government is approving and maybe even encouraging, what happened to your son, a man being thrown into prison to die because he criticized the regime, if they're okay with that in Ukraine, why wouldn't they be okay with that in the United States? I really don't understand.
Starting point is 00:51:37 It just puzzles me. It just puzzles me also with the prompt defense or the reporter, you know, the Wall Street Journal reporter that was detained in Russia. Well, he was really exchanged his military secrets. And my goodness, the way they were defending this man. I don't even know if he's a U.S. citizen. But anyway, his name, I wrote it somewhere. Totally different to Gonzagno.
Starting point is 00:52:08 No one from the U.S. embassy is defending my son. He lived in the U.S. all of his life. He's a Dartmouth graduate. I mean, he lived in the U.S.A. He has, you know, published counterparts, one of these, you know, books. He's been writing, he's a writer. All right. So I want to interject here.
Starting point is 00:52:32 Biden supported the detention of Gonzalo. And four days after Gonzalo Lira was criticizing the Biden administration and Kamala Harris, four days after he was detained by the Ukrainian government. Now, as his father says, more than likely, it sounds like the United States government gave the green light to the Ukrainian military, the Ukrainian government to detain even potentially torture, we don't know, Gonzalo Lira, because of his message. And if you guys remember guys and girls, they began this episode, which Tucker didn't even play, but what Gonzalo Lira talked about, in that video at the beginning, about the connections with Hunter Biden and Burisma and Zelensky and Kulaminsky. And how is Kolominsky, the oligar of Ukraine, was propping up Zelensky and made him basically a billionaire.
Starting point is 00:53:36 Same way he was doing Hunter Biden by putting him on the board of Burisma, giving him $50,000 a month, probably much more to get access to the United States government. in some type of almost like, hey, we're going to pay you for influence in the United States, government. This is what they did. And so, Gonzalo Lira was pointing this stuff out. Once he started pointing this out and being very vocal. Very vocal about this, right? Well, Gonzalo Lira wasn't in the United States.
Starting point is 00:54:12 It would have caused a huge stink right at this moment for someone to be put in prison, a journalist, a American journalist. For having freedom of speech. Yeah. So instead what they did was they used the fact that he was in Ukraine to send a very clear message. That you don't have freedom of speech there. You talk shit about us. You're going to be put in prison. And this is what is coming to the United States.
Starting point is 00:54:33 Yeah, I know. And it was not only against Ukraine, but he also did say stuff about Biden and Kamala. Absolutely. And four days later, this when he was put in prison. Yeah. And before that, he also said stuff about the connections between Burisma, Hunter Biden, Right. All of it.
Starting point is 00:54:50 All of it. But guess what, guys? These are not conspiracies. These are true facts. These are facts. These are not conspiracies. They are proven. All of it is proven.
Starting point is 00:55:01 Yeah. I mean, especially the Hunter Biden thing, the connection with Brisbane and all this. Yeah. Yes. It's all proven. We're going to be careful because we're going to be the next one. Find ourselves somehow in Ukraine.
Starting point is 00:55:10 I'm not flying to Ukraine anytime soon. Yeah, that's funny. We actually just had an invitation to Ukraine. Well, I'll go on that later. So anyway, so then Biden basically gave the green light, it sounds like, to the Ukrainian government to put Gonzalo or Gonzalo, sorry, into custody. Subsequently, he died. And then, you know, his father also says here that the Washington Post reporter, which was in Russia, that the United States is doing any and everything to get out of custody. Now, what does Washington Post have anything to do with this?
Starting point is 00:55:42 Well, Washington Post is another left or right hand of the government. they say and report anything that the government wants them to report. More than likely, this Washington Post reporter, which, by the way, if you're Putin and you say, oh, well, there's a reporter inside of Russia. And if you look at like the propaganda bullshit that Washington Post puts out on a daily basis, I guess maybe you could consider a Washington Post reporter as a spy
Starting point is 00:56:08 because they are a piece of shit in the United States. They do hit pieces on people that are pro-America here. So why would they not be in Russia, trying to get bullshit information for the United States government because I think Russia even knows that Washington Post is a right-hand arm of the United States government. I mean, you know, there's no question about this. Washington Post does hit pieces on people or anyone that speaks up and speaks out for pro-America policies. Anybody, anyone.
Starting point is 00:56:37 They've been one of the worst with, it seems like, with Trump. But at the very least, they've done a lot of stuff on De Portnoy by trying to, you know, Dave Portnoy came out. He's been on Fox News quite a few times. And then they, then Washington Post reporter, if I'm not mistaken, it was Washington Post. So don't quote me on this. Allegedly, it was a Washington Post reporter that started to try to dig stories to try to cancel Dave Portnoy because Day Portnoy was getting this big, you know, platform, barstool sports.
Starting point is 00:57:07 And then he wasn't on their team. So they had to be like, well, how do we cancel this guy? Right. So the lesson to be learned is if you're. not on their team, they're going to do whatever they can do to cancel you, put you in jail, or silence you. And that's what's going to happen. If you're not on their team, especially if you're in a different country that you belong to,
Starting point is 00:57:30 you're really screwed. So I'm just going to tell you guys, like, out there that are around the world, if you are a journalist and you're out there and you're reporting on this and you're seeing real shit, you might want to wait until you get home. hopefully you don't get put in jail here, but I would rather be put in jail in America than in a different country because you're ultimately going to be killed. That's what happened to this young man.
Starting point is 00:57:55 And it's so sad that this happened to him, especially when they let him out and he was so close to the border, right? And he is like he sees the freedom in front of him. Yeah. And then they get him and he dies. Make no mistake. If they can get rid of you, if you are a dissent. voice that has a platform that speaks to a lot of people, even in the United States.
Starting point is 00:58:18 Maybe you're just a couple of people. By the way, I'm going to come out right now and say that if we end up missing or disappeared, you know why. Because I'm telling you, the January 6th thing, if they could get rid of every dissenting person that was there at the Capitol, they would have. Of course. But it is a big story. But anyone that talks like against the government or, you know, is different than what
Starting point is 00:58:41 the government believes, they want you gone. because you're misinformation, your disinformation, you're a white supremacist, you're a terrorist, and you don't belong in America because you don't have the same views of them. Yeah. Now, I want to get into quickly, the CIA started the Ukraine mess February 22, 2014. Now, we talked about the Ukrainian protest. Well, today's Ukraine crisis is attributed to a February 22nd, 2014 CIA-backed coup while. 69-year-old Russian president Vladimir Putin hosted the
Starting point is 00:59:18 Sochi-Soki Winter Olympics. Now pro-Western separatists led by 50-year-old Kiev mayor, Vitali Kolesko, toppled the duly elected Kremlin-backed government of Victor Yanukovych,
Starting point is 00:59:34 chasing him out of Kiev. Backed by the CIA, the February 22nd, 2014 coup was perfectly timed while Putin had no options, while he completed the Soki Winter Olympics. Not one Western government or press report comes close to admitting how the Ukraine mess started,
Starting point is 00:59:53 instead blaming Putin for the last eight years. Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula from the Ukraine in 2014 after mass protest, prompted Ukraine's Moscow-friendly leader to flee Russia, said the Associated Press, completely distorting the actual February 22nd, 2014 events. Putin was, sorry, Putin was blindsided by a CIA-backed Kiev coup. Now, no Western government or press admits that the February 22nd, 2014 coup threatened Putin's Sefzampool naval base in Crimea,
Starting point is 01:00:29 prompting Putin March 1st of 2014 to annex the Crimean Peninsula. So for the past eight years, the West blames Putin, not admitting that they had the February, sorry, February 22nd, 2014, the I-back coup not taking place. Crimea would still be part of Ukraine. Now, when it comes to today's crisis, Ukraine's 43-year-old President Vladimir Zelenskyy continues to exploit the United States and NATO to antagonize the Russia Federation,
Starting point is 01:00:58 trying without much of Western's help to blame Putin for the current crisis, deputy foreign minister Sergei Rabukov, sorry, who led discussions in Geneva, January 10th, insist that the U.S. and NATO must provide ironclad guarantees that Ukraine cannot receive security assistance from the West. Now, Rybukov said that 59-year-old Secretary of State Tony Blinken will meet Russian Foreign Ministry, Lervov, Friday, in Geneva. So when special U.S. envoy, Wendy Sherman, met with Rikimov in Geneva last week, no progress was made between Sherman and assisted that Russian removed troops from the Ukrainian border.
Starting point is 01:01:41 President Joe Biden has driven a hardcore policy with Russia, not realizing the compromise was necessary to diffuse the current tensions. And it quotes, the Russian side is aware of our determination, said German Chancellor Olaf Scholes at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Now, Raqabov said last week in Geneva that the Russian Federation has no intent of invading Ukraine, a constant accusation made by Zelensky to the United States and NATO officials. Raqqabov said Putin experts, or sorry, expects that the U.S. and NATO to stop encroaching on Russian territory supplying Ukraine with arms and military assistance, and Western officials and the press insist that Russia's troop buildup near the Ukraine indicates an imminent invasion.
Starting point is 01:02:25 So as long as Western governments and the press deny that Ukraine's situation started, February 22nd, 2014 with a CIA-back coup, then they continue to blame Putin for the current crisis. Putin has asked for very little, simple guarantees that, Ukraine will not become part of NATO, and at the same time, NATO will not encroach on Russian national security. So when Blinken meets Lavrov in Geneva, January 21st, he'd better come with some concessions. Lavrov 72 in, sorry, is the final word on the matters of Russian foreign policy, a seamless Putin ally, and Biden and Blinken have taken a hostile attitude towards Putin and the Russian Federation since taken office a year ago.
Starting point is 01:03:09 go. So why Biden and Blinken have pushed the world to the brink over the Ukraine situation, as anyone's guess. Ukraine is a poor black country, has no national security significance to the United States, letting U.S. Russian relations deteriorate,
Starting point is 01:03:26 was very harmful for national security. But this is what happened. Now, if you listen to Gonzalo Lira's standpoint on this, well, it should tell you there is obviously it sounds like a connection with the Biden's right uh Burisma we definitely have a connection there and we are there yeah and we're there for a reason it is not just because of the Russian Ukrainian war I think it's more personal but personal than that you know our administration
Starting point is 01:03:57 you know the sun is on the board of this major company in Ukraine yeah it's not It's absolutely crazy. So one of the things that kind of got us in trouble, I guess, with J.D. and some other people kind of went against us towards this in the beginning. When we talked about, one of the things Patrick Lancaster talked about was the Nazi regime of Ukraine. Yeah, and we got to do a whole podcast about this. Yeah, but we're going to get into it now. And we could go on a deep dive on this.
Starting point is 01:04:29 But, wait, I just want to say, I always wondered when the war first started with Ukraine and Russia, why Putin was calling Ukrainians Nazis. I'm like, what is he talking about? If anything, you're a Nazi Putin, you're a Nazi. But come to find out when you really research the history and what's going on in these two countries, Nazi stuff is happening in other areas that we would not normally think they're happening in.
Starting point is 01:04:56 Yeah. So let's start it here. So Patrick Lancaster, well, he is a on-ground reporter inside of Ukraine. We had mentioned them earlier. you know, when he would go and he has been kind of rolling with Russian troops and all this stuff, but he's also been interviewing and has been interviewing for a very long time. I'm not saying he's 100% right or any of that, so don't take my word and his word or any of that stuff for the truth. But what I can tell you is, if he watched his videos and you, and he, as he interviews Ukrainian people, especially old heads, these people have been here in this village or city or whatever for a very long time.
Starting point is 01:05:30 And they say, I know this is Ukrainian soldiers, done this. and has shelled us and all this stuff. Yeah, he's talking about his own country. Hold on. Hold on. Let me finish. Let me finish. He's talking about his own country. But the Azov Battalion is one that they kept talking about. They literally kept saying Azov Battalion, Azov Italian.
Starting point is 01:05:50 Now, Azov Patine was a huge force. I don't know if they still are because I think a lot of them have died. I think a lot of them have been destroyed since then. But the Azov Battalion was seen on pictures. and video with swastikas on their uniforms. You know, swastikas obviously is pro-Nazi. It is anti-Jew. It is anti-basically anything white,
Starting point is 01:06:13 but, you know, in particular, that was something that Hitler was like, hey, we have to have white pure, you know, all this stuff. Yeah. So when Putin started talking about in the beginning of this war that there are Nazis in Ukraine, well, the Western media, including CNN, MSNBC, and all the likes,
Starting point is 01:06:30 are saying, oh my God, this is ridiculous. This is Russian propaganda, but let's just get into a sub-sac article just for a minute. I want to read this because I think this is very important, but this is the Nazi streets of Ukraine. This is a sub-stack article. I just want to let you guys hear this and you make your own decision. I'm not saying true or not. This guy has heavily researched Ukraine, Nazism, and all of this. But since the West-backed maiden push seized power in Ukraine in 2014.
Starting point is 01:06:56 Okay? This is already the beginning of this. We already knew that 2014 was very west-backed. Now again, Ukraine-Russia war, also proxy war between the United States and Russia. Again, the West is involved in Ukraine politics, just like they were in 2014 when the protests and riots were happening, because the people of Ukraine knew that this was bullshit and they actually liked the president, even though he was pro-Russian president. He was a president that had Russia's interest at heart as far as not allowing the West to invade Ukraine to put weapons or munitions or biolabs on their border.
Starting point is 01:07:32 So Putin was like, we're good with that as long as, you know, that happens. But there's still their own little country and they can be their own little country as long as they don't fuck with us. Yeah. Right. So anyway, so they seized power in Ukraine in 2004 and they have embarked on a massive de-russification, Russification. So Russian a de-russification and pro-bandurization campaign, tearing down statues and monuments, replacing plaques and renaming towns and streets. getting rid of anything dedicated to Russians and Soviets and frequently erecting
Starting point is 01:08:07 honors and memorials to World War II area West Ukrainian Nazi collaborators who were glorified for fighting those Russians and communists despite their bloody maskers of Ukrainian Jews, Poles, Hungarians, Russians, and leftists in their place. So this policy has been accelerated even further in recent days as Zelensky has recently put into force directives that Ukraine must be completely derrussified by the end of the year, meaning no Russian influence at all inside of Ukraine.
Starting point is 01:08:42 A Ukraine where before the West-backed maiden push in 2014, 20% of the population was ethnic Russian, and over half of the country spoke Russian on a daily basis. This is a West-backed and funded geopolitical project to rewrite history and manufacture by fire, Jack Putin blood, a viriantly anti-Russian Ukraine, forcing the national identity conception of the Gallican West of Ukraine, where Nazi Germany was welcomed in World War II over the whole of the country. So in the latest round of erasing and reconstitute in Ukraine's history and identity, the Kiev City Council has now renamed Stolokhev Street in Kiev, Ulyss Samchuk Street in honor of Ulyss Simchuk, a rabid ideological anti-Semite and fascist and Nazi collaborator.
Starting point is 01:09:38 So during 1941 and 1942, Ulyss Samchuk worked for the Nazis within the Rakhashemarshak, I don't know what the hell that word is, Ukraine, as chief editor of the pro-Nazi newspaper, Volan in Rovno in West Ukraine. Now, Volan was published in thousands of copies and was widely distributed. In his article, Samchuk lied and cited, justified the murders, and called for the extermination of Jews, Poles, Leftist, Russians, and other undesirables inside of Ukraine. Samchuk wrote his anti-Jewish articles calmly cheerleading for the massacre of 25,000 Jews in Rovna, including 6,000 children that it inspired. and identically a statue of Ula Samchuk has also now been erected in Rofno. Some of Yula Samchuk's best published quotes,
Starting point is 01:10:32 quote, where the Ukrainian states will be built. There will be no Jews there, he says. Samchuk wrote of the mass murder of Jews in Kiev at Babi Yar. Today is a great day for Kiev. And here's another quote, the element that settled our cities,
Starting point is 01:10:51 whether it is Jews or Poles or who were brought, here from outside Ukraine must disappear completely from our cities. The Jewish problem is already in the process of being solved. And here's another quote. All elements that reside in our land, whether they are Jews or Poles, must be eradicated. We are at this very moment resolving the Jewish question. And this resolution is part of the plan for the Reich's total reorganization of Europe. The empty space that will be created must immediately
Starting point is 01:11:23 and irrevocably be filled by the real owners and masters of this land, the Ukrainian people. Samchuk also wrote articles lionized in his personal idol, Adolf Hitler. In Ukrainian today, Yula Samchuk is promoted by the Westback Kiev-Push regime as a hero and a great figure of Ukrainian literature and culture, taught and required reading in schools. Figures such as Samchuk glorified by the Kiev regime are airbrush. rushed away with apologism by the Western and mainstream media and controversial historical figures. Controversial? I mean, there is nothing controversial about them.
Starting point is 01:12:03 That is historical revisionism of the most obscene kind. They are Nazi collaborators and fascist. That is not excused away and exonerated by the fact that they hated Russian and leftists too. This is not just Holocaust denial. It is Holocaust celebration. Israel and the Simon Weissau Center, among others, have reportedly condemned this seismic and state-promoted glorification of heritism of World War II-Ari-Nazi collaboration, war criminals and Holocaust perpetrators like Stephen Bandera, or Bondra. Yeah, Bandera, sorry. And many others by Westback Kiev-Push regime in Ukraine.
Starting point is 01:12:44 The Israeli administration to Ukraine has quietly but officially asked the Kiev, regime to remove Ulyss Samchuk and other Nazi collaborators and Holocaust perpetrators from his list of heroes and stopped glorifying them to Novel. But in the end, geopolitic trumps history and memory of the Holocaust, I guess. This is the Ukraine that the West is supporting and building in Ukraine, the Ukraine of Ulyss Samchuk. And this is a story of Ulyssum. They are prompting him and putting him up on a pedestal. Then you look at the Azov battalion, which is a very big force inside the Ukrainian military.
Starting point is 01:13:19 many of them have been spotted, pictured, videoed, and the liking with Nazi swastikas on their uniforms. They still have that influence of World War II when they had to be influenced with Germany and they had no other choice, I think, and I'm not giving them an excuse, but they sided with Germany. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:40 And Germany came into Ukraine and not only while they're killing Jews, but when you say Poles, it means Polish people. They're killing all the Polish people too. And what was happening is all these people, the Jews, the Polish people, they're running to the trains. They're running for the border. Just like this journalist that we're talking about today was trying to run for the border for his life to save his life. Same thing was happening in these people.
Starting point is 01:14:07 And guess what? They put them all down and shot them. And then the next row of people come up, they put them down in front of these people and shot them. Yeah. This is what's happening in Babiar. This is the whole thing. Yeah. You're right.
Starting point is 01:14:22 It's, they have so much influence with the German Nazi era. And that's why Putin was calling them Nazis. Yeah. Because they really are. I mean, they killed a lot of Jews and a lot of Polish people. It's not just Jews. They killed a ton of Polish people. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:38 Isn't it weird that like all the Democrats that have all the Ukrainian flags in their profiles and on their mailbox and all this stuff? And they're promoting what, Ukraine is prompt is is is is is propping up which is you know Samchuk Nazi yeah is Samchuk I mean and this is an ideology it seems like to be uh you know held closer to their vest something they're very proud of it seems like potentially in Ukraine now I'm not saying all Ukrainian people by the way or Nazis I'm not saying every soldier's Nazis I'm not saying any of that stuff but that was the ideology yeah ideology yeah absolutely and and how much of that is still left I mean we you know
Starting point is 01:15:14 we hear this all the time in the United States we got that white supremacists, we have this. Right. We don't know. I always wondered why Putin was talking about Ukraine and calling them Nazis. I never understood that. But now that we've researched, I kind of get it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:28 So here's an article real quick to Agency France Press, May 4, 2014. And this was the CIA and FBI reportedly advising Ukraine. Dozens of specialists from the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are advising the U.S. Ukrainian government, a German newspaper reported Sunday, citing unnamed German security sources, Bill M. Sontog said the CIA and FBI agents were helping Kiev in the rebellion in the east of Ukraine and set up a function and security structure. And it said the agents were not directly involved, quote, unquote, in fighting, which we've seen that shit in January 6th, with pro-Russian
Starting point is 01:16:09 militants, but their activities limited in the capital of Kiev, the paper said. The FBI agents are also helping the Kiev government fight organized crime, it added. A group specialized in financial matters is to help trace the wealth of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yonovic, Yonkinaj, I'm sorry, I'm saying that name wrong, according to the report. The interim Kiev government took charge in late February after months of street protests, forced the ouster of Kremlin-friendly Yonokovych. Fierce battles between Ukrainian soldiers and pro-Russian separists in the country's east have left more than 50 people dead in recent days.
Starting point is 01:16:44 Now, what they're trying to make this sound like this article is like, oh, well, the United States came to help and save the people of Ukraine. But really, the people of Ukraine were protesting against the bullshit that the United States or the West was trying to perpetrate. They were trying to overthrow and put a coup into place to where they would place someone that was pro West versus pro Russia. There's nothing more to this. Now, guys, Russia is, the Russia-Ukraine situation is a multifacistence. war. And I'm not going to say, hold on. I'm finishing.
Starting point is 01:17:18 Sorry, I just want to say I'm not on the side of Russia either. Yeah, I know that. But why are you? Sorry. Go ahead. But what I want to say is too, is that I think that, you know, of course we're not pro-Russia, you know, propagandists. We're not, we're not someone that's going to be like, oh, Russia's perfect and Ukraine's
Starting point is 01:17:38 horrible. But what we are saying is that there are very different sides of every story. I mean, there are absolutely two sides of the story. We know that we had Gonzalo Lira that was put into captivity. He was put into prison by the Ukrainian government for speaking the truth, at least to what he believed to be the truth. He investigated things. He reported on them and he was put into prison. There were reports that he was tortured.
Starting point is 01:18:06 There are reports that, you know, he was either pneumonia and they didn't treat him, but we don't know. I mean, he could have just been killed. We don't know. But at the very least, he did say in the video, he said, if I have to go back there, I know I'm dead. And I guess I want to play this last video of Gonzalo Lira. And what he had to say, I don't think we've played this yet, but I want to make sure that this is one of the last clips we play. This is the last video he ever posted. We're going to play this again.
Starting point is 01:18:34 Here you go. The start of the genesis of this whole situation is because I had an opinion that went again. against the narrative. And that's why I went to prison. And that's why, if I'm arrested I will die in prison. So I ask you, please, as many people as possible, the American State Department knows exactly who I am and the situation I'm currently involved in. And they know the fate that awaits me. They know it. You know, they They have that saying that, I forget the wording exactly, you know, I'm a little stressed out, as you can imagine, but they have that saying that people are fundamentally good, but for evil to triumph, all you need is the indifference of good people. Please don't be indifferent to my fate.
Starting point is 01:19:49 I ask you this very humbly. please recognize that well the literal death that awaits me if this doesn't work out understand what's going on there you go and he said i just want you guys to understand if this doesn't work out and he's literally on the side of a road he's rode his bike many kilometers to get to the hungarian border and he says i want you guys understand that if this doesn't work out i'm dead. He knew that. And so was he lying there too? Was he lying? It was like he was lying about
Starting point is 01:20:32 all the shit he reported on. No, he knew. Because he knew because he was already been in prison. He was tortured and he was put through hell. And yet this guy knew just maybe a month, month and a half before his death and he was going to die. If I have to go back there, I'm dead. Well, up to that exact time,
Starting point is 01:20:50 you can hear it in his voice. He's about to cry. He knows. He's doomed. He's done. And there's a lot of people that I think in the future are going to be in the same position. And we have to understand how we're going to do, like how we're going to react. I mean, I understand that we talk about these very heavy things. But we're giving you guys a very good example. This is a U.S. citizen that was in Ukraine that spoke out about the corruption and the bullshit that happened in Ukraine. And what subsequently happened to him was death.
Starting point is 01:21:20 And he even told you on video numerous times. He said it was death. And even after the first video, when Tucker Carlson came out and said, hey, guys, Gonzalo Lira is being tortured in prison. And the Western media came out and said, oh, my God, this is just complete BS. There's no evidence of torture. There's no evidence of this. And then he gets out and he's trying to make his way to the Hungarian border to get the hell out of Ukraine.
Starting point is 01:21:44 And he tells you, again, if this doesn't work out, I'm going to die. I just want you guys to know that. Guess what? He's dead now. His father was pleading for the Biden administration to help and save him. but what did the Biden administration have? The Biden administration knew that this guy had some shit on the Biden administration. He knew exactly how all these connections happened.
Starting point is 01:22:04 And sounds like potentially the Biden administration gave the green light for whatever to hell happened to him. This is the America we live in. This is the world we live in. We're not going to get any deeper into this topic. We got a lot of great episodes coming out in a near future. I want you guys to share this episode with anybody that needs to know really, the real happenings potentially inside of Ukraine.
Starting point is 01:22:29 We're not, by the way, we're not talking shit about the Ukrainian, the Ukrainian people or all of the government even. But there is corruption on a deep and dark level in Ukraine. I think it is heavily funded and influenced by the Western government. And I don't know. You take it for what you want to take it. But at the very least, his story needs to be heard. He is now dead. We commend people, by the way, that speak the truth.
Starting point is 01:22:55 even in the face of death. And he did it. And we're very sorry for his family. And we will pray for his family. I know his father was desperate to save his life, but they couldn't do it. So you guys, until next time, we love you. Peace out.
Starting point is 01:23:10 Peace out, guys.
