The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
So help us God, the mysterious death of Barack Obama's chef continues to generate more questions among
people who refuse to ignore the story. The former president was recently photographed playing golf
with bandaged hands and a black and blue bruised eye. Meanwhile, another story is being floated today that the unnamed paddler who was with the young chef at the time of his drowning was a female employee of Mr. Obama.
Let's start with this article published by the Daily Mail. Barack Obama pictured playing golf while wife Michelle hits the tennis courts on Martha's Vineyard for the first time since the death of their personal chef.
Now, the headline says nothing about the bandages.
Where does this come into the story, Doc?
Well, it comes into the story a little bit later on.
He's out playing golf, and I think we have a close-up still of his bandaged fingers and apparently some have reported
a black eye as well and they've tried to just kind of brush the story off a little bit
saying that he always plays golf with bandaged fingers and does it help it i i don't know i
guess some people you know they wear gloves i mean he's wearing a glove to play? I don't know. I guess some people, you know, they wear gloves.
I mean, he's wearing a glove to play golf.
It's been a while since I played golf.
I never had to bandage my fingers to do it.
But if the excuse is that he always wraps his fingers when playing golf,
my question is, does he always have a black eye when playing golf, too?
All you have to do is go back and look at previous photographs of him playing golf to see if his fingers are bandaged.
And we have gone back through and we haven't seen pictures of, now there could be pictures of him out there doing it,
but most of the ones that we were finding of him playing golf, his fingers aren't bandaged.
So it's just one of those questions that always tend to pop up in situations like this.
And so here's Barack Obama, once again, pictured with the bandaged fingers.
And some are saying he also had a black eye, too.
Well, other than the Daily Mail, not very many news organizations have dared to touch this story.
And one that did pick it up today was PJ Media, and their headline photos show Barack Obama playing golf with bandaged tan, black eye,
and we'll take a look at what PJ Media has to say.
Right, so questions have been raised regarding the recent death of Tafari Campbell,
the private chef of Barack Obama, who drowned off former President Martha's Vineyard Estate, with some
suggesting a potential cover-up due to various unexplained details like unidentified individuals
and misinformation in official logs.
Now, notably, Mr. Obama was seen with a potential black eye and bandages on his hand shortly
after the incident, contributing to the speculation, although some argue these injuries could be
explained by his activities such as golfing. So, quoting PJ Media here, Barack Obama appeared with
what looks like a black eye and a bandaged hand playing golf at the Exclusive Vineyards Club on
Friday while Michelle Obama played tennis elsewhere on the ground. So, remember, this is just four or five short days after
the drowning. Photos of Mr. Obama reveal a bruise or black eye beneath his left eye,
along with bandages wrapping fingers on his left hand. Now, some dispute the significance of the
bandages, insisting they are sports bandages meant to prevent blisters from playing golf. Well, that's why you wear gloves. But you have a black eye and bruised fingers, bandaged fingers on the left side.
Right.
But other details are being noticed as well, according to PJ Media.
For example, some have called out the media for reporting that Campbell could not swim
as an explanation for the drowning, when his own social media posts prove he most certainly could.
So this is adding another layer of complexity
to looking at anything associated with Barry Sartoro.
Well, not so far as far, but Paul, gosh, Doc, there's another story another alibi new wrinkles or new drips of information today
another daily mail story right so farry campbell had been paddleboarding with a female obama
employee who tried to help him when he fell off and tragically drowned in Martha's Vineyard. So why has it taken this long
to identify the other person? That's a great question. Was she the person with him or is she
being told you've got to take, you got to take the rap for the boss, for the big man? That,
that's the question being asked asked and now we get new details
about who made 9-1-1 calls and everything and we've been asking these questions for a week and
a half now so a female staff member of barack obama had been with chef safari campbell when
he tragically drowned while paddleboarding in a pond beside the former president's estate martha's
vineyard daily mail has learned now the woman who was on a separate paddleboard had tried in vain to reach Campbell after he'd
fallen off but was ultimately forced to return to shore to summon help now
listen this rig it was a Secret Service agent who then phoned emergency services
from the Obama compound in Edgerton to report the incident now so there was a secret service agent there
this first time we've heard it that's right and uh mr campbell was a married man
is this the woman the obama employee or is that his wife that's his wife okay so all right um now
the daily mail article goes on to say this. On shore, the witness, the female paddleboarder, the Obama employee, the witness spoke with investigators and was lucid and clear, exhibiting no signs of intoxication, according to insiders.
However, more than a week after the drowning on Sunday, July 23rd, authorities are still releasing only spare details of the incident while withholding the names of virtually anyone involved.
Sources tell Daily Mail that the witness spoke with police at the scene and described her as devastated, but also apparently clear-headed and sober.
The witness directed rescuers to one area where Campbell was thought to have gone under.
Crews diligently searched the
location that night but did not find a body. Authorities also searched properties around the
pond in hopes that Campbell had possibly made it to shore. Now, if you recall from the other day
when we were covering this, they showed a map of that area and where the 911 call was being made from,
which was nearly close to a mile away from where they discovered his body.
So did she go a mile away to shore?
I was thinking it was two miles.
Oh, yeah, you may be right.
I think it was two miles away.
It was at least that.
And then a Secret Service agent in the obama house
was he in the obama house or was the secret service agent somewhere else was he on shore
well i mean what's what's the story so you notice there's a drip drip drip a little detail hoping
that you just get sick and tired of listening to this, and you've just kind of put it as background noise now.
Yeah, something happened out there, but no one really cares about it.
But you start putting all these pieces together.
It raises more questions than answers.
But Obama's got a bandaged hand and a black and blue eye.
Right.
On his left side.
And nobody wants to tell us where obama was the night his chef drowned
and i mean and you know why not give us the name of the female employee what's wrong with that
is there something wrong with that what about the secret service agent i mean he should be on every
outlet there is out there right you know we tried to save this guy's life right
something doesn't add up and why did they leave his body in the pond all night remember the excuse
they gave the other day that it was too dark or too dark and i mean this is the president's
property yeah there's a body out there. The president's chef who was paddleboarding
with the president's employee while a Secret Service agent
was there. But they're going to let the guy's body
in the pond until morning. And if I was
let's say I was the former president of the United States and
no foul play involved
on my part and my chef
Brown, I would be ordering
everybody, you
find Tafari. You don't
stop until you find that man.
The former president of the United
States could call the current
president of the United States
and ask him to send
the Navy. Seal Team 6 here.
Whoever you need to send.
We've got to find Tafari.
Yeah, the Coast Guard.
We're not going to quit.
They could call the governor.
But no, they called off the search at 11 at night, 11 o'clock at night.
They said, we're going to go home and sleep.
That's all, you know, let's come with a fresh head tomorrow morning,
you know, where our minds are clear.
He might still be alive.
We'll check him in the morning.
Well, we have more than a dead White House chef.
We have another dead banker.
This story just popped up in recent hours.
A Goldman Sachs analyst.
We always watch for dead banker stories because they tend to come in
in waves. Yes. No pun intended in this particular story but a body of a Goldman Sachs analyst its
name was John Kastick who vanished after a concert pulled from New York City waters.
Coincidentally weeks after another man was found in the same creek, after visiting the same venue that John Kastick had visited.
We can go there for a concert.
So this was at the, what's called the, I had it right here, the Brooklyn Mirage.
So it's just odd, and I don't believe in coincidences, John Kastick disappeared after a concert at the Brooklyn Mirage. So it's just odd. And I don't believe in coincidences. John Castick disappeared
after a concert at the Brooklyn Mirage. And a few weeks earlier, back in June, another man was found
in the same creek after visiting an event at the Brooklyn Mirage. Was the other guy a banker also?
No, I don't have enough information on that. Okay. All right. Well, let's go to the Biden scandal story.
Hunter Biden, this is a Daily Mail.
I'll tell you, with a Daily Mail and a New York Post, where would we be without those two newspapers?
Well, we certainly wouldn't have information from anyone else.
They dribble it out on Fox News.
It's like the last two newspapers that are newspapers right after you get beyond
those two papers who do you trust so hunter biden uh told devin archer to buy a burner phone
three days before meeting with then vice president Joe Biden at the White House.
And Rick, what is the only reason you'd buy a burner phone?
Well, I've never bought one, but I would say, so if I made some calls, I don't get burned.
Right.
All right?
So you're trying to hide something.
You're concealing your identity.
You're concealing the origin of the phone calls
and the owner of the phones. So Daily Mail is reporting that Hunter Biden instructed his then
business partner, Devin Archer, to purchase burner phones just days before meeting with Joe Biden at
the White House. Now, this new revelation has raised questions about their further business
dealings and the potential influence over the then Vice President Biden. Now, weeks after the meeting,
both Hunter and Archer announced their board seats at the Ukrainian gas company Burisma,
which has been accused of corruption. So the actual message from Hunter Biden to Devin Archer
was buy a cell phone from a 7-Eleven or CVS tomorrow and I'll do
the same and he wrote this in an April 13 2014 email well we know somebody that does have that
phone call the NSA because they don't want to admit it but they record every phone call in
the United States yeah it doesn't matter if it's a burner phone or not, does it? And they store it in Utah.
Now, Hunter's curious request of Archer to buy a burner phone came at the end of a shocking email discussing their business strategy
that also hinted at Hunter's touting of his influence over his vice president father,
who he described as my guy in his business dealings.
So records from his laptop show Hunter kept 13 phone numbers
active on his AT&T account. That's just on his AT&T account. And some may have even belonged
to Joe Biden. Now, I don't know if you recall this or not, Rick, we covered this story. The
president paid for the phone lines for a period of time and that's according to
hunter's assistant katie dodge okay so do you remember what happened a couple weeks ago
when it was revealed in the hearings that hunter biden had a satellite phone right a global phone
satellite phone and um john sullivan yes from just the news obtained the phone number from obviously somebody
on the committee and he called the number and guess who answered joe biden answered the phone
joe biden was in possession of hunter biden's satellite phone a month ago. Yeah, end of June. And was answering calls on it.
How does he explain that one?
He can't.
And so now in that January 19 email, she wrote, this is Katie Dodge.
I spoke with Hunter today regarding his bills.
It was my understanding that Hunt's dad, being Vice President Joe Biden at the time,
will cover these bills in the short term as Hunter transitions in his career.
So this means that Joe Biden was aware of the multiple phones that Hunter Biden kept
and that basically the Vice President was paying for those phones, Rick.
And that's just on the AT&T account. There supposedly are
other accounts too. I only have one phone
number. So how many burner phones has
Hunter burned through? That's not even counting the burner phones. Those
13 phone numbers are real phone numbers. So how many burner
phones has he burned through in the past 15 years?
I'm sure many of them.
So you know what was happening here?
He and Devin Archer had a meeting at the White House with his dad,
who was vice president at the time.
Weeks later, Hunter Biden and Devin Archer
were appointed to the board of directors
of Burisma Energy in Ukraine.
The reason Hunter told Devin Archer
go to 7-Eleven or CVS
and buy a burner phone tomorrow
was that they needed,
they needed secure communications
after the White House meeting.
Right.
That could never be traced back to them.
That's all it was about.
And then they ditched the phones.
And then they do another meeting, they get more phones.
They just keep ditching them.
They're throwaway phones.
Right.
So you don't get thrown away in a jail cell.
Investigative reporter Paul Sperry
sent a tweet out today
indicating Hunter's immunity deal,
his plea bargain deal,
is going down the toilet drain.
He could end up being charged with serious crimes now.
Yeah, acting as a foreign agent.
So with Hunter Biden's plea agreement torn up and his immunity from further prosecution no longer guaranteed,
it potentially exposes Hunter to charges he acted as an unregistered foreign agent,
which opens up a broader foreign-influencing peddling probe of the entire Biden family.
Well, that'll be the day unless they're pushing Biden out.
That'd be the only thing.
Doc, I want to go back to the day that the deal fell apart a week or two ago.
Right.
And, you know, the dramatic moment, 1130 in the morning in front of the federal judge
and the judge asked the prosecutors will this plea bargain
will this will this protect hunter biden from any future prosecution. This is a federal judge asking a question
of lawyers, prosecutor lawyers, defense
lawyers, asking a question in a federal court and they're all
under oath. They're officers of the court.
The prosecutors behind the scenes knew
they knew Hunter Biden's not going to be prosecuted for
anything right but now they're his defense attorneys knew he's not going to be prosecuted
but they were not anticipating a federal judge asking and asking this question in a courtroom
with all of them under oath. So the prosecutors knowing,
if we lie to a judge,
we're in trouble.
If we tell the judge,
he'll never be prosecuted.
Okay?
She's going to know, hey, something's up here.
What's going on here?
So they had to take the angle well of course he could
be prosecuted this is only this is only giving him um an escape on these minor charges meanwhile
they've been telling the defense don't worry about it don't worry about it but they couldn't say that
under oath in front of a federal judge because Because the defense attorney was also under oath.
And so I was under the impression that, you know, this deal was done.
And that's when they said, might as well just tear it up right now.
So what Paul Sperry is saying is with Hunter Biden's plea agreement torn up
and his immunity from further prosecution no longer guaranteed,
it potentially exposes Hunter to charges.
He acted as an unregistered foreign agent,
which opens up a broader foreign influence peddling probe
for the entire Biden family.
We've got an update right now, Rick.
President Trump has been indicted by a federal grand jury probing
his effort to overturn the 2020 election that's just breaking news now former president don trump
has been invited by invited indicted by a federal grand jury investigating his efforts to overturn
the results of the 2020 election the special counsel's office announced today. Half the country, maybe more than half the country,
is just becoming more determined every day to put Donald Trump back in the White House.
Right. The numbers. And we didn't get to the poll numbers yesterday where it's showing he's polling 71%.
You're looking at the real corruption of of the biden family i mean it's
raw it stinks it's right in front of you mountains of evidence and they're going after donald trump
on trumped up charges every time the bidens get caught at something trump gets arrested that's
right then so here we go again so most of the country is not paying attention to it anymore.
My personal thought
at this stage, you know, August
2023, the political
climate changes from
month to month.
You can't say a year before
a convention who's going to be
nominated. You can't say a year before
an election who's going to be elected.
A few months ago
I couldn't see any way that Donald
Trump could pull this off.
It just looked like they're going to crush this man.
They're going to put him in prison.
But every indictment he gets, he gets 10 more points in polls.
He gets stronger.
And now I think all the Republicans running against him should just go home.
Stop wasting your money.
You're wasting your time.
You might be a good candidate,
but you are not,
you are not going to defeat Donald Trump for the Republican nomination.
He is the nominee.
And every time the Democrats arrest him,
his polls go up.
So he is going to be the nominee.
Now, the question is, doc, can they get him behind bars? Polls go up. So he is going to be the nominee.
Now the question is, Doc, can they get him behind bars before the election?
And even if they do, will it matter?
Will it matter? Because if he gets the Republican nomination, I don't know, would the RNC rescind the nomination and take him off the ballot
if if they imprison him what would that look like
and can they i mean the thing of the legal repercussions can they do it i don't even do it
he's the rightful nominee he's not not dead. He had nothing. He just went to prison because he's fighting a corrupt government.
So even if they succeeded in putting him in prison before the November election, Donald Trump will still win the presidency.
They will have to send a Supreme Court justice to the prison to swear him in.
Just the image of that.
Then he will pardon himself. In the prison
he'll pardon himself and order the warden to open the
cell. He'll
walk out. The President of the United States
now he has a problem because George is going to arrest him.
That Now, he has a problem because Georgia is going to arrest him. That prosecutor, what's her name?
Fannie, whatever.
She's going to arrest him by September.
On the racketeering charges.
Yeah, on interfering in Georgia's election.
Right.
Okay.
The president cannot pardon a state crime right only federal crimes
if he pardons himself in prison he's got to make sure he's not in a federal prison in georgia
or new york has new york and arrested him yet
yeah they've yeah they got charges against him in new york city okay and in new york city
and he's supposed to appear in federal court thursday according to fox news here now doc
really what's where he's at right now is can he run out the clock can he can he extend his time
that they can't get him in trial they can't get a conviction before the 2024 election.
Because if he can get to November without being in prison, he will be the president of the United States.
No doubt about it.
He will be the president of the United States.
You couldn't write a crazier script than this, could you?
No, you really couldn't.
Honestly, so if you're going to make it crazier, let him go to prison and pardon himself from in the prison.
And have Chief Justice Roberts, you know, swear him in, in the prison.
And ironically, the news media goes right along with it because they want to talk about Donald Trump and his troubles and everything.
But the more they talk about Donald Trump and his troubles and tribulations, the more his polls go up.
Because the people know that the media is out to get him and that they're working with the leftists in the Democratic Party to put him in prison. I mean, the Democrats have turned this country into,
you know, I hate to say, you know,
to pick a Central American or South American or African nation.
I don't want to pick their nation and offend anybody.
A banana republic.
Yeah, a banana republic.
That's what they've turned us into.
It's a joke now.
But we have
a real crime syndicate
in the White House.
It's a real crime syndicate.
They're real thugs.
They are extortionists.
They'll do anything. They'll plant fake
evidence on people.
The FBI is corrupt.
The Department of Justice is corrupt.
Some of the federal courts are corrupt.
Donald Trump is,
this time, if he wins,
he's got to carry
a massive majority
in the House and the Senate
that he can push through
the most radical
reform bill ever,
reform package
ever in the history of this country.
He's got to have the power.
He's got to be able to suspend the federal
protection of federal workers. He has to have
the power to fire anybody.
Anybody. Any
federal employee. He's got to have that power. There's only one way you can clean these people out. He's got to fire anybody anybody any federal employee he's got to have that power there's only one way you
can clean these people out he's got to fire them and but really the only way he can do that is to
like you said carry both the house and the senate yes with a republican majority that that has that
is on board with him that has you can't do a mitch mcconnell You can't have old Mitch leading the thing.
Mitch won't be in the Senate next year.
He's just not going to be there.
He probably won't even know at this point.
Right, he won't know.
He's not going to be the Republican leader in 2024.
He may not make it to the end of this year.
But Mr. Trump, if he gets back in the white house he's got to learn from his
mistakes and his mistakes his biggest mistake when he was in the white house is the people
whom he appointed he appointed people who stabbed him in the back, who betrayed him.
So he's got to figure out who advised him to appoint these people.
Right.
And never rely on their advice again, including your son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
Whoever gave him the advice, and I think the advice was Jared Kushner, Mike Pence.
Yes.
The various neocons were there feeding him names.
So you put this person in as attorney general, put this person in at the FBI.
Everybody he appointed betrayed him.
They betrayed him.
Yes. he appointed betrayed him they betrayed him yes so mr trump's got to learn from that mistake because i don't want to go through this again i don't want another four years of saying oh my gosh
mr trump you did it again you did it again you put the same people you backed fauci for four years
why didn't you get rid of fau See, these are the things that bother me.
But nevertheless, those are my personal concerns.
I can separate my personal concerns from my political judgment.
Donald Trump is going to walk away with the Republican nomination.
And he's going to win the presidency.
Right now, Doc, he is guaranteed
to be in the White House. At this state,
things can change.
In politics,
nothing is guaranteed.
Things can change. But as
of August 1st, 2023,
Donald Trump is the Republican
nominee, and he is
by far the winner
of the Novembermber election biden is not going to win
re-election biden is not going to be re-nominated you don't think even the nomination no the
democrats got to get him out of there the thing's imploding who who out there rick on the Democrat side Michelle Obama Michelle Obama
and Gavin Newsom
that's their ticket
that's their ticket
and that would be a powerful ticket
and they would be able to
unite really the entire Democrat party
wouldn't they? They would
we've got a story from Fox long ways away yeah fox news biden
irs whistleblower calls on congress to demand access to more witnesses this is uh remember the
yeah the guy from the irs mr shapley there and so according to an irs whistleblower mr shapley
congress should interview more witnesses in their investigation into the Biden family's overseas business stealings.
The supervisor of the Hunter Biden investigation at the IRS, Gary Shapley, claims that there were limitations placed on the investigation that prevented a deeper examination.
Shapley emphasizes the importance of bringing in witnesses to uncover more evidence.
He also suggests that additional investigation is necessary and urges Congress to continue their efforts to get to the bottom of the matter.
He said that was one of the main reasons that we brought forward to the House Ways and Means and House Oversight was that we weren't allowed to follow the normal investigative steps that would have potentially shined more light on those issues.
We were very specific on what we provided,
and those are things that now can be taken, the breadcrumbs that we've left, and they can go and
talk to these witnesses. They can go talk to the government, individuals involved, and they can get
to the bottom of it because every time that we needed to ask questions about President Biden's
involvement and in relation to the business dealings, we just weren't allowed to do that.
So there remains a lot of work to be done, he said, and we can't emphasize enough how important it is
that they continue to bring in witnesses because each witness that comes in is providing more and more evidence,
and it cannot be denied, he continued doc i wouldn't be surprised if uh mr shepley uh
submits a a legal brief an objection whatever document with the federal court
that's hearing hunter biden's plea bargain case can you imagine a senior IRS
basically criminal
investigator? Right. I mean,
at the top of really investigating
international crime, tax evasion.
Can you imagine your federal judge
and you get a
legal
objection from
a senior IRS investigator
saying, Judge judge please do not approve a plea
bargain for hunter biden this man is involved in serious crimes
that ends that would completely end hunter biden's any chance of having a plea bargain no federal judge is is going to sign off
after getting a legal objection from a senior irs and i wouldn't be surprised that he does it
here's an interesting story out of china this is a wall street journal reporting it
china replaces its nuclear missile commander just days after replacing their foreign minister, who disappeared and hasn't come home yet.
Right. And so, and in fact, the previous nuclear missile commander has been missing for several weeks as well.
Oh, really?
Yes. So China has replaced the commander of its missile force shortly after removing its foreign minister. Analysts believe
that this move aims to ensure loyalty to Chinese leader Xi Jinping within the military branch
responsible for nuclear-tipped missiles targeted at the U.S.
Now, it's speculated that this force would also play a crucial role in any potential attempt to
seize Taiwan forcefully. Now, the replacement of both the foreign minister and the missile commander in quick success has sparked interest and speculation about
the motives behind the changes within Chinese leadership. So the removal of Li
Yuqiao, a veteran of the People's Liberation Army Rocket Force, marked an
abrupt end to an unusually short stint in a key military post and comes days
after China replaced its foreign minister
in another decision also shrouded in mystery.
Coming so soon after Quinn's removal,
that was the foreign minister,
the purge of former Rocket Force Commander General Li Yuchao,
a Xi confidant overseeing China's nuclear weapons program,
marks one of China's most profound leadership shakeups in years.
And that's coming from Craig Singleton, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracy, a Washington-based think tank.
Singleton said the recent briefed armed uprising in Russia likely served as a reminder of the need to keep the military on a tight leash. He said the failed Wagner Rebellion almost certainly reinforced Xi's fixation on ideological control,
even at the expense of economic growth and China's ongoing military modernization, he said.
Now, that is a summation of that.
At a ceremony a day earlier, Xi officially promoted the PLA Rockets Force new commander Wang Hubin
and its new political commissar Zhu Xiexing, thanks for all the Chinese names today, Rick,
to the rank of general and presented them with their new rank insignia. That's according to the
Jinwao News Agency. The appointments of Wang and Xu, who have naval and air force backgrounds respectively,
departed from a longstanding practice of placing China's strategic missile force under the command of officers with
experience in the service. So to translate this,
the new leaders of the rocket force
did not come up through the ranks of the rocket force. They were brought in from
other military branches.
So Taylor Fravel, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
who has written extensively about China's military,
said the decision to appoint officials from outside the rocket force
suggests that there were problems that were identified with Li,
and they were severe, and reflects the importance of the force
as it undergoes a significant expansion amid deteriorating ties with the U.S.
Now, under China's Soviet-style political control over the military, the PLA maintains a dual leadership system whereby military units are actually headed by two officers, typically of equal grade.
So both of these gentlemen were promoted to general here recently.
So it's being led by a commanding officer with formal authority over combat decisions,
but it also has a political commissar who enforces party directives.
So each one of these branches really has two leaders that operate simultaneously.
We'll put up the Times of London headline.
We don't need to go through the content because it's basically the same as the other article, which was Wall Street Journal.
But as you see, Times of London, Xi Jinping orders shake up at top of China's nuclear missile force.
Doc, anytime you read a headline like this
yes that a a country with a massive nuclear arsenal has done an abrupt sudden shake-up
of its top commanders right that that's uh that's an uneasy observation. Something's going on inside Beijing.
Right. And the only thing that I would bring out of this article, Rick, that is a little added to
the previous story is number 30 for control. The South China Morning Post, and this is coming from the London Times article, reported last week that Li, Liu, and another former deputy, Zhang Jincheng, faced investigations by the party's anti-corruption unit.
Well, that's how they put them away.
Sure.
They said they were getting bribed or getting paid off.
But let's face it.
Everybody in China is dipping their hand in the well right
i mean and so they use that when they need to get rid of them that's exactly right next with summit
news hungarian foreign minister says the european union expects to fund the ukraine war for another four years are these guys crazy and he's not that happy about he's no
he's he's upset about it um this uh this we got a video with the the foreign minister and i'm not
sure uh can you pronounce his name yes i can p Peter, I was going to say, Peter Ziarto.
And we have...
I thought you could pronounce it.
Pardon?
I thought you could pronounce it.
I tried.
Try it again.
Ziarto.
Okay, that's a better one.
Condemns the Ukraine war.
So we have this video where you can obviously see his frustration that Hungary has now been committed to continue funding
the Ukraine war. And of course, that takes money out of the coffers of Hungary and of course,
other European nations as well. We apologize for those who are listening because there will be
English subtitles, but you're not going to hear this in english but those of you who are
watching read along and you'll hear what the hungarian foreign minister said yesterday or today
about the eu funding the ukraine war for another four years doc is taking it into
2027 202828. Yes.
Unbelievable. Here he is. Négy év alatt hány ember fog meghalni? Négy év alatt hány magyar ember fog meghalni?
És négy év alatt még mekkora pusztítás jön létre, amit aztán majd valakinek helyre kell állítani?
De a helyzet még abban a szempontból is súlyos, hogy a 20 milliárd eurót,
azt nekünk, Európai Uniós országoknak kéne összeadni.
Ebből 200 millió euró jutna ránk. Now, the European Union has basically committed to spending $5 billion a year for the next four years to support the ongoing efforts in Ukraine.
But $200 million of that $5 billion is going to come from the taxpayers of Hungary.
That's what this man is saying.
He's telling the Hungarian people, we've got to cough up $200 million to keep this going.
It's a small country.
$200 million is a lot of money to a little country like Hungary.
They could do a lot.
They could build roads.
They could build schools.
They could build hospitals with $200 million.
But it's going to go to the war machine so that fat cat warmongers get fatter and kill more people and make more money with their defense industries.
And this war continues for the purpose of draining Russia down so that Russia can collapse
and the warmongers can go in and seize Russia, put in a puppet government,
and then steal all the natural resources of Russia.
That's what it's all about.
Nobody in their right mind would be saying,
we've got to keep this war going for four more years.
Who thinks like this?
Except warmongers.
Right.
The people have got to speak up.
Folks, can I ask you something?
Do you know anybody in the country besides me
who is openly speaking every day against this war?
Can you think of anybody?
Do you have anybody in mind?
No.
I mean, even the ones, you know, there would be some say, well, Donald Trump.
No, he's not.
He's not opposed to the war.
He just says it would end it in a day.
He's not opposed to it.
Some would say even rfk but even rfk has held back on you know uh you know he says we need to stop it well
yeah i agree with you we need to stop it well we never should have got into it in the first place
he wouldn't agree with that part of it and so um so if you know he would say it was justified for us to you know russia did a
bad thing but we baited them that's that's the thing i think he kind of leans in that area but
you're right he's he's not a uh a total opponent of the war but there's no one out there rick that
is as outspoken as we are about it that this war is it first of all it's an unjust war we baited
the russians into this war for the sheer purpose of blowing things up and propping up the military
industrial complex and bankrupting europe yes ukraine has already been defeated. It's a collapsed, failed state. Without
the Western money,
Ukraine would not
last for five minutes
against Russia.
It's over for them.
So the West has got to keep
pumping billions and billions and billions of
dollars in every month
to keep a war going.
The United States and NATO are fighting Russia
through a proxy war. And repeatedly
Medvedev and Putin and others in Russia have warned us
you're playing with fire.
Basically where they're at, Doc, the Russians are
their attitude is, hey hey we've invested all this
money on a nuclear arsenal and these nukes are just sitting in silos gathering dust we might as
well just blow off the dust and launch them and just use them that's what we invested the money
for we and i've actually heard and i don't you know i don't understand russian i've
read the transcripts right i've i've seen where russian commentators on television have said
basically that why did we build all these nuclear missiles if we're not going to use them
we built them for this reason let's use them and when you get to that place of thinking that you really could use
them, that you really could use nuclear weapons. Why did you build them?
If you didn't plan to use them. That's what they're saying. Why did we build them?
Why have we spent so much money building and storing nuclear weapons
if we never planned to use them? It's time
to use them. That's what the Russians are thinking.
Most of the American people have no idea that this is the thought in Russia
and that any day we could be obliterated for the sake of Ukraine.
What's really going on there? The Bidens and the Clintons and the Obamas have a lot of corrupt money in Ukraine.
Yes.
And as corrupt as the Bidens are, you have to assume that the Bidens are siphoning off hundreds of millions of dollars from the U.S. money going to Ukraine.
To this very day.
Yes. Are we going to find out 10 years from now that Biden's sucked out $5 billion from Ukraine?
Are we going to hear that 10 years from now and go, I didn't believe it.
I didn't think back then they'd do something like that.
It might be a campaign issue when Hunter Biden runs for president.
Right.
And the media will say, it's a conspiracy theory oh we
settled that issue years ago um i'm just going to do the headline uh rt is number 35 ukrainian
drone hit moscow's financial hub this happened this morning so another drone attack in the Такая сейчас ситуация.
Заня рядом с новотелем.
Повреждена секция. Now imagine if there were drone attacks on Wall Street downtown, you know, in Manhattan.
And, you know, we'd be up in arms, wouldn't we?
Especially if we found out that Russia paid another country to do it.
Right.
Who would be the enemy?
Russia would be the enemy.
So who should be the enemy here?
It certainly isn't Ukraine because, first of all, they don't have the technology.
They don't have the targeting.
And they certainly can't do this on their own.
Another, again, we'll just look at the headlines.
London Times, this is the Niger coup.
France evacuates citizens after Junta accuses Paris of planning an attack.
So today, the French government was evacuating French citizens of the country.
So the situation there is becoming more dire.
44, we got a, this is just a video of a French Airbus.
They ended up sending four Airbuses to Niger today total.
This was the second one that had arrived.
And so they are actively evacuating French citizens.
And the article went on to say other
europeans as well rick and so it's uh it's not just a matter i think something big is underway
i think france is getting ready to make a play but both uh bali and um i know i'm trying to think of
the other country but both of them gave stern warnings france if you do anything like that
we're talking war they said if you attack burkina faso yes they said if you attack niger it is an
act of war against all three countries so france could end up in an african war france gets half
of its uranium supply from niger and the european union itself gets about a quarter of all of its uranium supply from Niger. And the European Union itself gets about a quarter of all of its uranium for its nuclear plants.
The ones that are still operating gets about a quarter of its uranium from Niger as well.
This is a key thing.
And by the way, too, there is a pipeline that is under construction that runs from Nigeria up to the northern coast of Africa,
and it goes right through Niger.
And this was supposed to be like the next big pipeline because, you know, Nigeria, you know, produces.
Whose pipeline?
I forget what company is involved with it, but it goes right through the middle of Niger and then connects to the north.
It goes through Niger and Algeria and then to the northern tip of Africa.
Basically right across the Mediterranean.
What I've seen over these 20-some years is just look at where the pipelines go, and then you'll know where the next war is going to be.
Well, in this case, yes, absolutely.
Okay, we've got one more thing.
This is a Bloomberg article. Donald Trump airs a new advertisement decrying the witch hunt as he awaits new charges. And we have the ad itself. This is the brand new Trump ad saying the Biden administration is deliberately coming after me, trying to put me in prison.
Here it is.
What do you call someone this week?
Someone caught in a bribery scandal that made them millions, complicit in a government cover up and uses your government to get special deals for his family.
You call them Joe Biden and acting just like a corrupt third world dictator,
Biden has unleashed a cadre of unscrupulous government bureaucrats he controls
to act like rabid wolves and attack his greatest threat, launching one of the greatest witch hunts
in history. But Biden's underestimated the intelligence of voters. And Trump's support
is growing even stronger. As hardworking Americans come together in huge numbers to stand with
the one person they know has their backs and will fight to make America great again.
I'm Donald J. Trump and I approve.
That's an aggressive ad.
It's a tough, aggressive ad.
He's coming out fighting.
And there's no doubt about the message of that ad.
The Biden administration is corrupt.
They are trying to put me in prison.
And I am fighting for the american people right
and i would think from mr trump's perspective he's got nothing to lose at this point oh
what does he have to lose the rest of his life that would be served in prison
right but i mean he's got he's got to this is survival right. Right. He must win. This is like Russia.
This is the way Putin is looking at it.
We have to win.
Yes.
The same people who are trying to crush Russia.
It's the same regime that's trying to crush Trump and his supporters.
Right.
Russia can't even have a tie.
They have to win completely.
And unfortunately for us, Doc, a Russian win is a devastating defeat for us.
That's true.
This is where these idiots have taken the world. Somebody has to win. Somebody has to lose.
It wasn't like that two years ago. Doc, just go back before the war started. It wasn't like that two years ago.
We weren't in a situation where one country had to win and the
other country had to lose. This corrupt regime has done it.
And Ukraine is the center of
their corruption. And they got greedy.
And they got greedy. they got greedy they wanted russia yes you got it that's
exactly it um they could have gone along with their corruption for a decade in ukraine and
things would have they want they want russia too again my my personal my own political analysis is, as of right now, the Republican nomination, the race is over.
Asa Hutchinson's not going to win.
What's the governor of North Dakota?
I don't even know the poor man's name.
He's not going to win.
You don't even know his name.
Our great governor, love him, Ron DeSantis.
He's slashing staff now.
Oh, yeah.
Love him as governor.
He's the greatest governor we've ever had.
Hope he stays governor.
I would amend the Constitution of Florida for Ron DeSantis to stay governor here for many, many years.
A great governor, but he's not going to beat Donald Trump for the nomination.
Nikki Haley, forget it, Nikki.
Go home.
Who else is out there?
You know, I forget who the other...
We got Vivek Ramaswamy.
The CIA guy, Heard.
Oh, yeah, well, Heard.
He got booed off the stage last weekend.
Like I said, Vivek Ramaswamy oh the hindu guy right yeah oh somebody
got mad at me one of our viewers got mad at me i said uh the hindu guy a couple weeks ago and
somebody wrote to me and called me a racist i'm not saying anything racist about him
no i have nothing against him his indian heritage man do you remember bobby jindal
former governor of louisiana he was a great governor i supported bobby jindal
all right i have any problem with him being an indian i said this guy that's running what's his
name a swami wami guy i forget that promise forami okay he's a hindu has nothing to do with his really
with his race he's a hindu do you want a hindu in the white house do you realize
that i've seen articles doc where at political rallies
christians are promoting this guy as an outstanding born-again Christian man. He's a Hindu.
He's a Hindu. He worships a million gods. Do you want a Hindu in the White House and you think
you're going to revive the country? How's that work? You got a Hindu in a vice presidency right
now whose name means devil. How's working out i'm not voting for hindu
i'll vote for an indian but i'm not voting for hindu
that's my opinion am i entitled to my opinion you are entitled i'm entitled to my opinion
and people are entitled to express their opinions that's too. I love Indian people. No mini-Indian.
I love Indian food.
I have no thing against Indians.
Okay?
But I'm not going to vote for Hindu.
End of discussion.
And you need to pass the word around that this guy is a Hindu.
He's not a Christian.
He's a Hindu.
He's going to bring Hinduism into the White House.
And then you have Mike mike pence of course
it's running who he used to be the vice president mike pence pence pence you're already forgetting
aren't you especially after the encounter with tucker carlson a few weeks ago you got tim scott
uh tim scott's of course there but all these folks nicky haley none of them none of them can even break the five percent
barrier i was uh liking tim scott until he started attacking governor desantis over the fake uh
racial claim against the florida school curriculum right he knows he's he knows that florida is not
promoting slavery right the curriculum written by
an african-american that just told me that just told me tim scott will say anything he's got to
say it away well i i lost my uh favor for tim scott when he's doubled down on the ukraine war
at the iowa event a couple years ago oh yes i mean uh he's all for it i mean let's do more
give him more bombs and missiles.
You know, double the money.
Of course, Chris Christie.
He's running?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yes, he is.
But all these guys, you know, DeSantis is the only one that can break out of the teens.
And not even 20%, mind you.
Yeah.
