A discussion centers on Trump’s claim about running Venezuela, contrasted with the U.S. jurisdiction over the United States. Debaters note questions of international law and separation of powers. Maduro is described as not allied with the Cartel of the Suns, but linked to cocaine trafficking via others, and Trump is said to have pardoned a former president tied to drug trafficking. Maduro is also accused of blocking oil development due to sanctions and not recognizing Israel.

The truth is Maduro was never affiliated with the “Cartel of the Suns,” which smuggled huge shipments of cocaine from a CIA warehouse in pre-Chavez Venezuela. Maduro’s real ‘crime’ is refusing to work with the cartels, like Trump allies Daniel Noboa in Ecuador and Juan Orlando Hernandez in Honduras - the convicted coke-trafficking former president who Trump just pardoned.

Here's the 1993 60 Minutes report on how the CIA recruited a Venezuelan military officer, General Ramón Guillén Davila, to help them ship 22 tons of cocaine into American cities The Cartel of the Suns disappeared once it lost its utility to the CIA, and was resurrected by the US government when it began targeting Venezuela

Video Transcript AI Summary
A ton of cocaine, worth hundreds of millions, was smuggled into the United States not in the usual way, but through a CIA-backed operation with Venezuela’s National Guard, according to former DEA head Judge Robert Bonner. He says this drug trafficking was approved or condoned by the CIA, and that it was illegal unless approved by the DEA or a US law enforcement authority. Bonner conducted a two-year secret investigation with the DEA’s Office of Professional Responsibility in cooperation with the CIA’s inspector general, and concluded that the CIA broke the law by facilitating drug shipments into the United States. The CIA’s stated rationale for promoting the drug smuggling was that it would yield valuable drug intelligence about the Colombian cartels. The plan, described as an undercover operation in Venezuela, involved the CIA and Venezuela’s Guardia Nacional to handle the transshipment of the cartel’s cocaine en route to the United States and Europe. The operation reportedly produced more than a ton of cocaine, stored at a CIA-financed Counter Narcotics Intelligence Center in Caracas. The center’s commander and the CIA’s man in Venezuela was National Guard General Ramon Guillen Davila. Annabelle Grimm, a DEA agent with eighteen years’ experience, testified that CIA station chief James Campbell and CIA officer Mark McFarlane told her that to keep the undercover smuggling operation credible, they had to keep the cartel happy by delivering their dope untouched by US law enforcement to the cartel’s distributors in the United States. Grimm said the CIA and the Guardia Nacional wanted “to let cocaine go on into the traffic without doing anything,” with no surveillance, no interference. Grimm and others argued that the operation would not stop drugs in Miami, Houston, or elsewhere; the plan was to allow shipments to reach the United States and then enter the traffic. Campbell and McFarlane sought Washington approval, but the CIA leadership in Washington allegedly went over Grimm’s head to DEA headquarters. The joint DEA-CIA investigation confirmed that more than a ton of cocaine moved from the Caracas counter-narcotics center to US streets, and that at one point Guillen’s National Guard tried to ship 1,500 kilos at once—an effort that failed because the box would not fit through the airplane door of a Boeing 707. General Guillen admitted bungling the operation, but he denied involvement in an unauthorized shipment. He insisted the operation was approved by US authorities. The CIA maintains it found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing, though it acknowledged instances of poor judgment and management leading to disciplinary actions for several CIA officers; Mark McFarlane resigned, and James Campbell was brought back to the US, promoted, and later retired. Campbell claimed he devoted his life to his country and felt like a victim in this thing, insisting the issue occurred without CIA knowledge. Senator Dennis DeConcini was briefed by the CIA, and some officials argued no one in the CIA has been prosecuted, while others argued that the drugs did reach the streets. The intelligence gained from the operation was disputed; some questioned whether any valuable intelligence was produced. Three to four truck drivers were arrested, but the larger goal—US intelligence or seizures—was contested. General Guillen later traveled to Miami and was subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury investigating the CIA’s cocaine, but Venezuela reportedly would not permit testimony. The investigation continues to raise questions about the CIA’s involvement in drug trafficking, with ongoing inquiries by House and Senate intelligence oversight committees.

Speaker 0: A ton of cocaine, pure cocaine worth hundreds of millions, is smuggled into The United States. Sound familiar? Not the way this ton of cocaine got here. According to what the former head of the Drug Enforcement Administration told Mike Wallace, this drug shipment got here courtesy of what he calls drug trafficking by the CIA in partnership with the Venezuelan National Guard. While rumors of CIA involvement in drug trafficking have circulated for years, no one in the US government has ever before publicly charged the CIA with this kind of wrongdoing. And it's not the kind of accusation anyone in government would make without thinking long and hard. Speaker 1: Let me understand what you're saying. A ton of cocaine was smuggled into The United States Of America by the Venezuelan National Guard Well, they in cooperation with the CIA? Speaker 2: That's what that's exactly what appears to have happened. It's mind boggling to me that Speaker 1: Until last month, judge Robert Bonner was the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration, the DEA. And judge Bonner explained to us that only the head of the DEA is authorized to approve the transportation of any illegal narcotics like cocaine into this country even if the CIA is bringing it in. Speaker 2: Let me put it this way, Mike. If this has not been approved by DEA or an appropriate law enforcement authority in The United States, then it's illegal. It's called drug trafficking. It's called drug smuggling. Speaker 1: So what you're saying in effect is the CIA broke the law. Simple as that. Speaker 2: I don't think there's any other way you can rationalize around it, assuming, as I think we can, that there was some knowledge on the part of CIA, at least some participation, in approving or condoning this to be done. Speaker 1: Judge Bonner says he came to that conclusion after a two year secret investigation conducted by the DEA's Office of Professional Responsibility in cooperation with the CIA's own inspector general. And what reason did the CIA have for promoting this drug smuggling? Speaker 2: Well, the only rationale that's ever been offered is that this would lead to some valuable drug intelligence about the, Colombian cartels. Speaker 1: Over half of the Colombian drug cartels' cocaine crosses the border with Venezuela on its way to The United States at Europe. Back in the nineteen eighties, the CIA was mandated by then president Reagan to develop intelligence on the Colombian drug cartels. And so the CIA, with Venezuela's Guardia Nacional or National Guard, set up an undercover operation, a drug smuggling operation in Venezuela that could handle the transshipment of the Colombian cartel's cocaine on its way to market. The plan was to infiltrate the cartel, and it worked For the CIA National Guard undercover operation quickly accumulated this cocaine over a ton and a half that was smuggled from Colombia into Venezuela inside these trucks and then was stored here at the CIA financed Counter Narcotics Intelligence Center in Caracas. The center's commander and the CIA's man in Venezuela was National Guard General Ramon Guillen Davila. Speaker 3: I tried to work together with them. I was always aware that they were not telling me everything they were doing. Speaker 1: Annabelle Grimm was a DEA agent with eighteen years experience when she was made agent in charge in Caracas. And she says that the CIA station chief, James Campbell, and this man, Mark McFarlane, the CIA officer in charge at the center, told her that to keep the undercover smuggling operation credible, they had to keep the cartel happy. And the way to do that was simple, deliver their dope untouched by US law enforcement to the cartel's distributors, their dope dealers in The United States. Speaker 3: The CIA and the Guadianacional wanted to let cocaine go on into the traffic without doing anything. They wanted to let it come up to United States. No surveillance. No nothing. Speaker 1: In other words, you weren't gonna stop them in Miami or Houston or wherever. These drugs were simply gonna go to The United States and then go into the traffic and eventually reach the streets. Speaker 3: That's what they wanted to do. Yes. And we had very, very lengthy discussions where I told them what The US law was and the fact that we could not do this. Speaker 1: So here you got Jim Campbell, chief station, who knows about this. Mark McFarlane, CIA officer, knows about this and are stimulating this this business of sending what are uncontrolled deliveries of drugs, smuggling drugs into The United States. Right? Speaker 3: Right. Why in the world would they wanna do that? As they explained to me that this would enable them to gain the trafficker's confidence, keep their informant cool, and it would result in future seizures of larger quantities of drugs. And also they hope to I guess, they thought they were going to get Pablo Escobar at the scene of the crime or something, which I found personally ludicrous. Speaker 1: But if Annabel Grimm thought this was ludicrous, the CIA station chief James Campbell did not. He enlisted the assistance of CIA headquarters in Washington to get approval for the drug shipments, and his bosses at the CIA in Washington went over Annabel Grimm's head directly to her bosses at DEA headquarters in Washington. Washington. Speaker 2: They made this proposal, and we said, no. No way. We will not permit this. It should not go forward. And then, apparently, it went forward anyway. Speaker 1: The joint DEA CIA investigation we mentioned earlier confirmed that over a ton of cocaine made its way from the counter narcotic center in Caracas to the streets of The United States. And they discovered that at one point, General Guillen's National Guard tried to ship 1,500 kilos at once. Speaker 3: They were not successful in that because apparently, the package they had put together was too large. It wouldn't fit on the plane. Speaker 1: General Guian admits to the bungled operation. Speaker 4: It was too big for the airplane door because the plane was a seven zero seven. Speaker 1: The box was too big to get into the airplane? $30,000,000 worth of cargo, drugs, all these officials, the Venezuelans, the Americans, the the the Colombians, all so stupid that they don't have a box that's small enough to fit inside their own airplane. The Speaker 4: traffickers made a mistake with the plane. Speaker 1: Is it possible that general Guien was doing this on his own without the knowledge of the CIA? Speaker 3: I would find it very difficult for several reasons to believe that they did not know what was going on. They built, they ran, they controlled that center. General Guillain and his officers didn't go to the bathroom without telling Mark McFarland or the CIA what they were going to do. Speaker 1: The drug smuggling operation finally unraveled nearly a year after Annabel Grimm says she told the CIA and General Guian that it was illegal to send drugs uncontrolled into The US. Then a shipment arrived at Miami's international airport and was seized coincidentally by US customs. Customs traced those drugs back to the Venezuelan National Guard, but general Guillen told us that operation had been approved by US authorities. Speaker 4: Look. What I see here is that there is a problem between the CIA and the DEA, and perhaps they are trying to find a fall guy who is general Guien. If I had anything to do with illegal drug trafficking, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you. Speaker 1: General Guien is right about one thing. He could travel to New York to talk to us about judge Bonner's charges only because he had already been granted immunity from prosecution in that DEA CIA inspected general's investigation. So we confronted the general with this document, a report from that investigation that reads like his confession. Guillaume lost his composure and when directly confronted concerning his involvement in the unauthorized and illegal shipment of cocaine to The US, confesses. Look. Speaker 4: I say that that confession is not true. In that report, there are a lot of lies. It's useless. I have not confessed anywhere. So you're clean? Clean until the last day god has for me. Speaker 1: So far, there has been no legal action against general Guillen. As for the CIA officers, well, judge Bonner may believe that someone at the agency must have known, but the CIA and the US Department of Justice say they have discovered, quote, no evidence of criminal wrongdoing. However, the CIA did acknowledge to us that the investigation, quote, did reveal instances of poor judgment and management leading to disciplinary actions for several CIA officers. Mark McFarlane, the CIA officer in charge of the counter narcotics center, resigned from the agency last year. We tried to talk to him, but he told us the CIA would take legal action against him if he violated his secrecy agreement with the agency. As for James Campbell, the CIA station chief, we learned he was brought back to The US and promoted, but then he retired. Campbell did tell us, quote, I've devoted my life to my country and feel like a victim in this thing. This happened without our knowledge. We were there to prevent it. While CIA headquarters declined to answer our questions on camera, off camera, a CIA official involved in the Venezuelan cocaine operation did. We talked to some people at CIA. They say the DEA does the same thing all the time. They let drugs walk. They let drugs into the traffic look the other way to further a more important goal. Speaker 2: It's absolutely untrue. And frankly, maybe it it it displays the kind of ignorance that makes the CIA dangerous in this area. It is wrong for an agency of the US government to facilitate and participate in allowing drugs to reach the streets. And apparently, you know, if the if the CIA doesn't understand that, then, I I would be concerned that this kind of incident could be repeated. Speaker 1: The CIA advised us they had recently briefed the chairman of the senate intelligence committee, senator Dennis DeConsini, and they urged us to talk with him, apparently believing he would defend the operation. Speaker 5: It it was an operation that I don't think they should have been involved in. Speaker 1: No question, the drugs got in. I don't doubt that the drugs got in here. You'd think that maybe the agency would want to say, okay, we made a mistake. Speaker 5: I think they made a mistake and I, you know, you hope when these mistakes are made that, hell, not too many more of them are, particularly when the mistake is a large quantity of substance like this that can kill people and probably dead. Speaker 1: We asked the senator why no one in the CIA has been prosecuted for bringing in the drugs. Speaker 5: If you would seem to think there would be a good case there. Speaker 1: Case against? Speaker 5: Against an American who knew anything about it. But, you know, I've been a prosecutor, Mike, and you have to look at the case, convince a a jury or a judge not to throw the case out. The justice department reviewed that, and they decided not to prosecute, these individuals from the agency. Speaker 1: And what about the vaunted intelligence gathered from the whole CIA anti drug caper in Venezuela? Speaker 2: Well, let me tell you. I first of all, I don't know of any because, from what I know, no valuable intelligence, of any kind was produced from this operation. Speaker 1: What intelligence was generated by the shipment of this thousand to 1,500 kilos? Controlled or uncontrolled? It was very positive. Really? Who? Who did you finger? What did you find out? Speaker 4: Right now, a truck driver and a truck that were trafficking drugs into Venezuela are under arrest. There was another truck, and two similar van types were Speaker 1: also caught. So what you're saying is that you captured three or four or five truck drivers. I'm asking about intelligence in The United States that was generated by the actual shipment of these kilos into The United States. Now Speaker 4: whether or not here in The United States they arrested anyone or the intelligence gathered was useless, that is the responsibility of the Americans. Speaker 1: After speaking to us, general Guillen traveled to Miami where federal agents found him and served him with a subpoena to appear before a newly revived grand jury investigation into the CIA's cocaine. But the word out of Venezuela is that the government there will not permit him to testify. Speaker 3: I look at that thousand kilos, at least that thousand kilos. I look at the fact I mean, like, you're a taxpayer, and that was US taxpayer money that built that center, that funded it, that maintained it. And I really take great exception to the fact that that thousand kilos came in funded by US taxpayer money, and it hit the streets of The United States. I find that particularly appalling when you look at all the damaged lives that thousand kilos represents. Speaker 0: And what happened to the tens of millions that were paid for the CIA's cocaine? Well, general Guin insists he didn't get any of it. But judge Bonner says one thing is certain, the Colombian cartel did. They got their money once the dope made it to our streets. Meanwhile, both the house and senate intelligence oversight committees continue to ask questions about what they call, quote, the very serious charges surrounding the CIA's cocaine.

Maduro’s other actual ‘crimes’ are obvious: he sits on the world’s greatest oil reserves, which the US has prevented Venezuela from developing or exporting for over a decade with a suffocating unilateral sanctions regime. And, of course, he refuses to recognize Israel.

Hands down the most antagonistic interview opening I’ve ever seen. Jake Tapper berates Trump’s hostage envoy for “directly negotiating with terrorists” and asks how a Jewish American could “deal with people who are definitionally antisemitic murderers?” https://t.co/0hNPJCYxvp

Video Transcript AI Summary
As a special envoy, meeting with various people, regardless of their nature, is part of my job to assist Americans. Meeting with Hamas was something that we had discussed beforehand. When you sit in front of them knowing what they've done, it's hard not to think of it, but realizing that every piece of a person is human can be productive. Regarding the American hostages in Gaza, one is alive, and four bodies remain. I think Israel has done a masterful job eliminating enemies of the state. I believe a long-term truce is possible where prisoners are forgiven, Hamas lays down arms and agrees to not be part of the political party going forward. I understand Israel's concern regarding direct contact with Hamas and it's important to know what Hamas realistically wants to end hostilities. Something could come together within weeks and I believe there is enough there to make a deal to get all of the prisoners out, not just the Americans.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: US Hostage Envoy, Adam Boulder. Adam, thanks so much for joining us. Let's start on these direct negotiations with Hamas. First of all, obviously, controversial to direct directly negotiate with terrorists. How much sign off did you get from president Trump beforehand? And this is just my personal curiosity. As a as a Jewish American, did you have to steal yourself before sitting down to deal with people who are definitionally anti Semitic murderers? Speaker 1: Well, I would say meeting with people, whether they're good people or bad people, is part of my job. I'm the special envoy. I need to go and have dialogue with anybody and that includes a lot of people that I would classify as not so good people to help other Americans and so it comes part and parcel of the job. I knew that I was going to meet Hamas as a result of it and we discussed it. Then I think when you walk and you sit in front of somebody and you know what they've done, it's hard not to think of it. I wouldn't say it's the most productive. The most productive is to realize that every piece of a person is a human and to identify with the human elements of those people and then build from there. But it definitely feels a little odd knowing what they really are. Speaker 0: So thank you for your candor. So you did get sign off from President Trump ahead of time though? Speaker 1: Of course. Speaker 0: Yeah. What was the result of the meeting? How close are you to a deal to get the American hostages living and dead, murdered, still in Gaza out? How close are you? Speaker 1: Well, first of I wanna note the American hostages that are there, one in particular that's alive, Adi Alexander, and four dead bodies of Americans with about 50 killed. And that's just not acceptable. We live in a place, we live in The United States, the strongest country in the world and there are 6,000 Americans in different countries. So one of my views here is we've got to change that completely. With respect to the Maas situation, I do think there's hope. I think that Israel has done a wonderful, masterful job eliminating Habas, Hezbollah, a number of other enemies in the state that makes things possible that weren't possible before and I think you could see something like a long term truce where we forgive prisoners, where Hamas lays down their arms, where they agree they're not part of the political party going forward, I think that's a reality. It's real close. Speaker 0: Do you have plans to sit down with Hamas again? Speaker 1: You never know. You know, sometimes you're in the area and you drop by. Speaker 0: Alright. It's a very unique pop in, I suppose. So you talked about the job Israel has done in trying to negotiate the the release of the the hostages living and and dead. Axios' reporter Barak Ravid, is reporting the top Israeli official, Ron Dermer, strongly discouraged you from talking directly with Hamas. He said it was a tense phone call. Tell us about that. Do you understand, why Netanyahu, Dermer, others might be upset? Speaker 1: I do understand. I spoke with Ron and I'm sympathetic. He has someone that he doesn't know well making direct contact with the mosque. Maybe I would see them and say, look, they don't have horns growing out of their head. They're actually guys like us. They're pretty nice guys. So he doesn't know me and there are big stakes. He lives in a country where if it sets certain precedents, then it will hurt or help a lot of other people. So I understand the consternation and the concern and I wasn't upset. At the same time, we're The United States. We're not an agent of Israel. We have specific interests at play and we did communicate back and forth. We had very specific parameters by which we fell and the reality is what I wanted to do is jumpstart some negotiations that were in a very fragile place. And I wanted to say to Hamas, what is the end game that you want here? Not the dream end game, but what do you think is realistic at this point because until we know that, it's very hard to reach some sort of truce or some sort of end to hostility. So in the end, I think it was a very helpful meeting. It was very helpful to hear some back and forth. But I think Israel knows walking out of that, it's not like Hamas got the world because I thought they're a bunch of nice guys. Speaker 0: Right. How quickly could something come together in terms of this negotiation? Speaker 1: I think something could come together within weeks. I will say that I believe there is enough there to make a deal between what Hamas wants and what they've accepted and what Israel wants and it's accepted. And I think it it I think there is a deal where they can get all of the prisoners out, not just the Americans.

During the call, Wallace discussed sensitive military topics, including support for Ukraine and nuclear ambitions, leading to significant backlash from the Ministry of Defence, which labeled the audio as Russian propaganda. The incident raises serious concerns about security protocols, especially as other officials, including Home Secretary Priti Patel, also fell victim to similar pranks. Investigations are underway.

How can the UK further support us during this challenging time? We are focused on enhancing our anti-air capabilities and ensuring they arrive swiftly. We are exploring a defensive alliance with a nuclear power, and it would be beneficial if the UK could be that partner. The establishment of official British training centers in our country would be a great step forward. We are eager to support your negotiations, especially since President Zelensky values the UK's involvement, given past experiences like the Minsk agreement, which lacked UK and US participation. A security alliance is definitely a topic worth discussing in these negotiations.

Speaker 0: Oh, I mean, of course, we are currently discussing the idea of a defensive alliance with a country with a nuclear weapon, and it would be great if the UK became such a country. So how do you feel about the idea of, union between our countries? And for example, it was wonderful to open official British training centers in our country. Speaker 1: Well, look. I I think we are very keen to support you in any negotiations, and I know my understanding is president Zelensky is quite keen, to see the United Kingdom, alongside Ukraine in these negotiations, because of the experience that we every every or we didn't have, but the bad experience of the Minsk agreement where just France and Germany were there. And I think there is a desire for the UK and the US.

Is it possible to enforce a NATO ban on interference and close the skies to Russian aircraft? Two points: First, we're sending advanced anti-air missiles that outperform Stingers, capable of operating at night and effectively countering Russian aircraft. Second, I want to understand how Ukraine plans to address the challenge of not being able to fly, especially since a no-fly zone would apply to both sides. Given Russia's significant artillery and missile capabilities, one of Ukraine's few advantages is its ability to target these from the air.

Speaker 0: Is it, possible to somehow make the NATO ban on noninterfering interference and do something to close the sky for Russian aircraft? Speaker 1: 2 things. I've just been looking at our new anti air missile that we're sending you, which is better than Stinger. It'll work at night. It's a very, very fast missile, and it will help close the skies to Russian aircraft. I think what I would like to understand from Ukraine is given that Russia has overwhelming amounts of artillery and missiles, and one of the few areas that Ukraine has a military ability to hit those missiles and artillery is using air and by actor twos. How would you deal with not being able to fly? Because a no fly zone would be for both sides.

“We have always wanted you to join NATO, which is why our training teams were there… over the last five years” UK Defence Minister tells pretend Ukrainian Prime Minister. He blames other NATO nations for failure to secure Ukraine’s membership

Video Transcript AI Summary
What does your colleague from the US think about our status? It's challenging not to pursue NATO membership. We’re saddened by the situation, and Britain has always supported your NATO aspirations. However, with 30 nations in NATO, gaining unanimous agreement is difficult. We've been committed to helping you prepare for NATO membership over the past five years, and we regret the current circumstances. We want to ensure you are not pressured into recognizing Crimea as part of Russia. It’s important that you remain free from Russian influence and aggression.

Speaker 0: What about your colleague from the US? What do he really thinks about, about our status? So I know that it's pretty difficult to to to not try to, join NATO. Speaker 1: But Look. Look. Look. I don't think we have any of our colleagues. You know, of course, we're sad, and, you know, Britain was one of those countries that wanted you to join NATO. Right? I mean, you know, there are 30 nations in NATO, and that is part of the problem. It's not easy to get every single one to say yes.

So that is, you know, a deep sense of regret. What we don't want to do is see you bullied into making decisions like recognizing Crimea as Russia. So so I I think, you know, we we deeply feel that you should be free away from this Russian, Nazi, and bully.

INSANE: Phony Ukraine PM asks for help with nuclear weapons & actual British Defence Secretary replies UK “will support Ukraine” if they “want to explore new weapons.” Apparently there were even wilder segments removed due to potential impact on “the national security of the UK”

Video Transcript AI Summary
We aim to continue our nuclear program for protection against Russia and would appreciate any assistance in this area. I need to discuss broader issues with my prime minister, but we will support Ukraine in your decisions regarding NATO and weaponry. We can also explore security guarantees together. Our goal is to provide intelligence on Russian intentions and collaborate on feasible options. Regarding the peace treaty, Russia's proposal includes reducing our military and weapons. Can we expect secret supplies of weapons, perhaps stored in Poland? I understand your request.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: We'd like to continue the nuclear program in order to protect ourselves from Russia. It's a difficult question, but if you could help us in this regard, it would be really, really important. Speaker 1: Okay. Well, look, I I I mister prime minister, on all those bigger questions, I think those are questions that I need to speak to my prime minister. The principle is we will support Ukraine as our friend in the choices you make. Whether you want to be part of NATO or you don't want to be part of NATO, whether you want to explore new weapons, etcetera, that is all a matter for you to decide and for the west to to, in a sense, stand by you. And on things like the security guarantees, we would be very happy to look at that with you, in whatever way we can. I understand the need for it, and we would like to be close to you in these negotiations for for really two reasons. So we can provide our intelligence to you as much as possible to let you know what we think the Russians are thinking, and to, just allow you all to be able to to to explore with us what you think is feasible. Speaker 0: Right. Dear secretary, in the proposals for a peace treaty, Russia wants us to reduce the army as well as the number of weapons. In this case, can we count on secret supplies of weapons for us, for example, to store it in Poland? Speaker 1: So, mister prime minister, I understand what you're asking.

British Defence Secretary advises a man he incorrectly believes to be the Ukrainian Prime Minister to “just be very careful” about efforts to acquire nuclear weapons. As a signatory to Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the UK “can’t be seen to be” involved. In other words: CYA.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Any proposals regarding nuclear weapons should be approached with caution. The UK is a signatory to the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty, and any actions that could be perceived as pursuing nuclear weapons must be handled carefully. This is a serious issue that requires thoughtful consideration.

Speaker 0: Any any proposals you talk about are, something that the UK would discuss. On your acquisition of a nuclear or I mean, you think you want to explore a nuclear weapon, I think I would just be very careful about all of that. You know, I think we are a a signature to the Nuclear Proliferation Act. We can't be seen to, to to be doing that. You know, that is that is an entirely different issue, so I think you have to be very careful with that.

Wallace almost loses his cool when he senses he’s being blamed for foreign mercenaries fleeing Ukraine on arrival. After a brief lecture on the concept of a “free press,” the UK Defense Secretary labels British field medic and 6-year veteran Jake Priday an “idiot” and a “failure”

Video Transcript AI Summary
Concerns have been raised about volunteers coming to fight against the Russians, particularly regarding negative portrayals of Ukraine. A recent interview by Jake from Cardiff claimed poor conditions and misrepresentation, influencing other volunteers to refuse contracts, which harms morale. While it's difficult to control what individuals say in the media, there are many who genuinely want to help and fight alongside us. Efforts are being made to discourage thrill-seekers or those without military experience from coming, as they may not contribute positively. We will continue to address these issues as best as we can.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Or maybe you could filter, some volunteers that are coming to our country to fight against Russians. You know many volunteers, and there are some, more frequent case in whether when the British discredit our country in the eyes of the world. For example, Jake Friday from Cardiff recently gave an interview that we have terrible conditions, and we are deceiving everyone, and he managed to convince 20 more volunteers to refuse the contracts. This information undermines the moral of Ukraine's. Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, I I'm not responsible for idiots that come and give interviews on media, I'm afraid. I can try and stop them. But, you know, if people peep you know, there are also, no doubt, people who have come to help you, who are perfectly happy to to stand and fight alongside you. So, if some idiot from Cardiff decides to give an interview, he's probably an idiot. You know, I mean, I I I think it's quite hard for me to in our free press, I can't control those people. But we we're trying to discourage people coming who what we would call our water mitties, you know, people who are thrill seekers, who haven't really been in the army, probably failures rather than the army. But we'll see what we can do.

UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace: “We are not going to directly attack Russian ships or airplanes… at this stage” though it’s a “difficult thing for me to say.” However, he promises more weapons & to let Ukraine regime help decide how close British warships buzz the Russian navy

Video Transcript AI Summary
British warships are requested to assist in the Black Sea, particularly around Odessa. While there won't be direct attacks on Russian ships or planes at this stage, support will be provided through various weapon systems capable of addressing threats in the region. Last year, HMS Defender passed near Crimea, prompting illegal actions from Russia. More weapon systems are being considered, and there are plans to enter the Black Sea soon. Discussions will take place regarding how close to Ukrainian waters, currently under Russian blockade, the ships will approach.

Pranksters request “newer NLAW anti-tank weapons,” saying those previously delivered by the UK “often fail.” Wallace tells fake Ukraine PM they’ve already sent 4,000+ (“We’re running out of our own!”) and shifts blame to “the Ukrainian General Staff” for logistical bottlenecks.

Video Transcript AI Summary
I request that we provide more reliable anti-tank weapons, as previous deliveries have often failed, causing issues for our country. We have supplied over 4,000 anti-tank weapons, with more on the way. However, we are running low on our own stock. I communicate daily with Minister Reznikov about this. Currently, we face bureaucratic challenges; there are two supply routes into the country, but the Ukrainian general staff has opted to use only one, which has slowed down the delivery of supplies to your army that urgently needs them.

Speaker 1: Ours have I don't think ours have failed. I've got the details of ours. We've given you over 4,000. We've got more coming. Right. We're we're running out of our own, but I I speak to, minister Reznikov or text him every day. So, we we we have a problem in bureaucracy at the moment, which is we had 2 routes into the country, and we the the Ukrainian general staff chose to push everything through one route.

Thank you, Secretary. We remember how Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan contributed to the fall of the Soviet Union. Ukrainians have embraced a Western path, and I see parallels between you and Thatcher as strong leaders. My question is about Interpol's failure to exclude Russia. Is there still a chance to apply pressure on them, or can the US influence other countries to act? Absolutely. Interpol's response was weak; they should have suspended Russia entirely due to their misuse of the system. We plan to address this, especially with our American colleagues. This is a critical moment for the US to engage and implement stronger measures against Russia.

Speaker 0: Thank you very much, dear Secretary. We remember how Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan destroyed Soviet Union. Thanks to you, Ukrainians have grown up and followed the Western path. It seems to me that you, yourself and in your politics, as if Margaret Thatcher is like you are like an iron lady, if it's possible to compare. So my question is, it is a pity that Interpol did not listen to your call and did not exclude Russia. So do you think we still have an opportunity to put pressure on them? Or would the US be able to put pressure on some other countries? This is my questions. Speaker 1: Well, I think first of all, Prime Minister, absolutely. The decision well, actually, it wasn't not just decision, the reaction from Interpol to just put interim measures and I have to say is just feeble. It's absolutely feeble. It's very weak, of Interpol in my view. They should have just gone for a blanket suspension because of the the barbarians that Russia are basically in the way in which they abuse, Interpol systems. I will be very candid with you. We intend to pursue this, particularly with our Firewise colleagues and the Americans in particular. And this is this is also a test for America to get leaning into the system and to really make sure that we can we can have tougher measures against Russia.

Kiev spokesperson Sarah Ashton-Cirillo faces another firing after falling for a prank by Russian impostors. In the conversation, Cirillo admits reduced military strength, claims Russians are not human, and blames political interference for her previous dismissal. She also acknowledges the regime's lies damaging relations and throws Zelensky under the bus. Cirillo defends foreign fighters publicly but acknowledges their far-right leanings and security risks privately. She criticizes Maria Butina and eagerly accepts a fake deputy position.

@wyattreed13 - Wyatt Reed

After threatening to "hunt down" so-called "Russian propagandists" around the world, Kiev's infamous spokesperson Sarah Ashton-Cirillo was fired, then rehired. Now Cirillo is likely to fired once again after being fooled by Russian pranksters posing as former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. In the conversation, Cirillo: - Admits their company has been reduced to 14 soldiers by disastrous counter-offensive -Claims “Russians are not European… Russians are Asian. Ultimately they do come from the Mongols, they come from a grouping of people who want to be slaves.” “I wish the rest of Europe and the Western world understood that we are protecting European values and Western values... These people [Russians] are not human. They are enemies of humanity.” - Claims Dugin’s daughter “wasn’t some woman who accidentally killed. This was an evil creature who died a death they deserved.” - Admits decision to fire Cirillo was “political” and came “the highest level” — so high that it didn’t come from Ukraine itself but “New York.” - Claims they were fired because they served as the “expert witness” in trial of fellow U.S. citizen Gonzalo Lira. “The Republicans are trying to use the case of Gonzalo Lira —the ‘Russian asset’ that I testified against — as to try to say we don’t like free speech.” “I do believe that they were very angry in Washington that I was being talked about with Gonzalo Lira, that the two Americans were being discussed, and [the Ukrainians] were told, ‘make it go away.’” “Because I made it clear: Russian propagandists will be hunted down.” - Acknowledges that the Kiev regime's constant lies are jeopardizing relations with other Western states: “If we are making promises we can’t keep and not being realistic, our partners can’t trust us.” “One of the problems is that the messaging that we have coming out is truly fantastic [based in fantasy].” “That’s good for fighting the Russians. It’s not good when we’re using this in discussions with our partners in Washington, our partners in Brussels, and our partners in especially the Eastern European nations.” - Throws Zelensky under the bus — “it’s been 19 months. It’s not about theatre anymore. It’s not about populism on the world stage.” - Brags about personally convincing the Kiev regime’s “partners” at CNN to self-censor their coverage of foreign mercenaries in Ukraine. But when asked later about the British merc recently executed by his own people, Cirillo's tune changes. “We have a terrible problem with most foreign fighters here because they are just a step above mercenaries, and they come here because all they know is warfare.” “And while I defend them in public, in private I know many of them have very far-right leanings, so there’s some Nazi groups… many of them are doing this because they have no lives in their own countries.” “We have security risks, and more importantly we have morale and psychological issues because foreign soldiers are here for the money — most of them.” “And those people are gonna be the ones that are willing to engage in drugs, willing to engage in fundraising where they’re putting the money in their own pocket.” “It did not surprise me that someone was murdered. What surprises me is that we’re still allowing this to happen.” - Claims Maria Butina was a “terrible spy” and “a step above a whore,” and insists she her current political position was a reward from Putin, which is “the reason that we know the [Russian] Duma can never be taken seriously.” - Then, after being offered a (fake) deputy position Ukraine’s rubber-stamp legislature by (fake) Poroshenko, Cirillo takes the bait, literally jolting upright and immediately accepting: “Wow, sir. I would be honored, sir.”

Speaker 0: The situation with my unit currently, I'm still part of them, is very bad in. And I think they're going to be disbanded soon. We're down to only 14 people, in the company. And so while the the entire battalion and brigade were friendly, I can't speak to what the new command structure will be like after the situation takes place when they either get moved or they have to bring new Speaker 1: in. And so what do you feel about Russian orcs now? So I think that it is part of Mongoloidens. Speaker 0: Sir, you have a European party, and the reality is the Russians are not European. Russians, as mister Danilov was clear to say, Russians, have a a different culture. Russians are Asian. And, ultimately, they do come from the Mongols. They do come from a grouping, mister president, mister deputy, of people who are wanting to be slaves and want to be led just as it was from the days of Genghis Khan. And so Yeah. I wish the rest of Europe and the Western world understood that Europe ends at Ukraine. We are protecting European values and Western values the same way those did 100 and 100 and 1000 of years ago when the Mongols were coming in. Oh, I don't know every Russian. I will say that what's happening in the Kremlin and what's happening to every Russian that courts. Vladimir Putin's decisions are not human. These people are not human. They are enemies of humanity, in fact. Speaker 1: Now we have some difficulties. So what is your what is your opinion about con counter offenses now? Speaker 0: For well over a year, we've been asking our Western partners since the days of your presidency, sir, to make certain that they understood the threat of these nonhumans, and they didn't want to understand it. They don't understand that we can only win by winning. And so they're being cautious based on what they know the key to independence, sir, stated that there was allegations that a 100,000 Russians were gathering in Kupiansk and Lemont directions. And to me, this showed a very big problem. If our own media calls it allegations, even though 2 of our generals, who are not political people, said this was the case. Imagine what we must be fighting in the Western media. I have a video coming out very soon where Crimea announced that they had 30% less visitors for poisonous jellyfish. And yet the Daily Telegraph ran a story that people were still visiting Crimea. So we're losing we're having struggles on the information warfare front. And then we have the morale issue, sir, where I'm at the hospital right now, and I'm seeing soldiers who are talking to me very frustrated because they didn't feel like they were being heard in certain areas. And so we are dealing with we are dealing with the reality that until we win the information war, our Western partners won't feel the pressure. But we must win the information war both here on the streets of Ukraine and in the newsrooms in in New York and London and elsewhere. This is why I also had the controversy but felt I needed to do it. When CNN called our fighters Western mercenaries, I had to call for the boycott of CNN and risk my position simply because Russia would have used that as propaganda if CNN didn't change the wording. Luckily, it worked. And I received the apology on behalf of all of the foreign soldiers, and they changed their wording to foreign fighters. But every time there's a slip up by our partners, the slip ups aren't coming from you and the other leaders here in Ukraine as much as it is almost never as much as it is coming from our Western partners who don't understand that Russia's main success in this invasion was on the information front, but their propaganda efforts are the best in the world. Their propaganda they should not be able to hide behind Just because they're given a television show doesn't stop them from being war criminals. Then how can we attack Russian fascists with all of our weapons? And our weapons include DRGs. Our weapons include divergent. Our weapons include saying this is not free speech. You know, Soligolov And Skibaivans, all of them, are committing crimes against humanity. So we saw what the truth was with Dugan's daughter. They put out a book on the 1 year anniversary of her death. That goes to show that who she was in their eyes. It wasn't some woman who was accidentally killed. This was an evil this was an evil creature who died a death they deserved for trying to genocide innocent people. Speaker 1: Yeah. That is true. It doesn't mean that we don't have to target Maria Zakharova too. Speaker 0: She's she was the 1st person to attack me. It was April of 2022, and she attacked me before I was anyone even knew my name outside of USA, outside of Nevada. And she she called me a a creature who only hung around with gangsters, meaning our soldiers. And the worst part with her if she gets accepted in the same way that a state department spokesperson would be accepted, to me, there's nobody that should be off limits, mister deputy, over the course of being able to Speaker 1: carry out our full How they dare that? How how it could happen? I was, I was in a trip, but when I got this the that news, it was terrible. I I think it's it is not fair. It is extremely bad for our reputation to do that. Speaker 0: Yes, sir. It was political as you very well understand politics. I made the statement that Russian propagandists will be hunted down, and I refuse to apologize for that statement. And what's not being said is that I was the expert witness in a case against a Russian agent in Khadikiv. And so by knocking me out of this position, it made my testimony less effective. So on so you know the process. On Tuesday morning, sir, I was fired. At 10 o'clock on Tuesday, I was re reinstated. By Tuesday night, I received the analytics report. The investigation was already done, and I was cleared. On Wednesday morning, sir, I was told that the ministry was completely defending me. And Wednesday afternoon, an email was sent to an American politician regarding me, from a official email address of of the government stating that I was already cleared. And then, sir, 2 hours later, the message appears that I was suspended. Speaker 1: But but but who was who was the the person who ordered to do that? Speaker 0: I was told, sir, that it, came from the highest levels. That's all I was told. And general Tansura was the one who decided on the suspension and the language of the suspension. Speaker 1: When you're talking about high level, what is the what is the person? Speaker 0: I was told that it came from New York, sir, on the trip that, the government is on currently. Speaker 1: My gut it's it's it's so so Ministry of Defense of Ukraine tried to to to help you, to defend you. But someone from the New York decided to Speaker 0: do that. Speaker 1: Oh my god. This is it's a soft pity. Speaker 0: Yes, sir. I think I was told that they had to make a big deal and to shut me up in order to possibly get help. So that's why I understand it. I understand it's political. I'm still in the army. I'm still speaking to several high level officers doing my other work, just not a spokesperson. But, sir, I don't want to serve in I would like to transfer to army. I don't want to serve in territorial defense forces anymore. I have a very strong record of service, and I had an idea. You're a very strong man, a very public man. And you and I had discussed your daughter. What if I was able to be transferred to your artillery unit along with your child. And I could sort of work in capacity of a sergeant for you. I have thought at the front lines, not in artillery, but as infantry. Speaker 1: I think we can change all things that already caused our army. And my I have many I have many complaints Regarding regarding, current government. You know, I can't say it publicly, but I can say it in a private conversations. And you see what is, what is going on with corruption now? Speaker 0: Yeah. It's terrible. Yes, sir. Speaker 1: It's terrible. It's also because because of, that officials try to earn some money from, From equipment that were provided by, the United States. And it goes to it is, it is really big, Speaker 0: Yes, sir. Anybody who is willing to look at the situation seriously understands we have significant issues when it and if we don't change these issues within the next 6 months, we're going to have a 30 year war, sir. So I believe it was truly political because the Republicans are trying to use the case of Gonzalo Lyra, the Russian agent that I or assets that I testified against as to try to say we don't like free speech. I do believe that they were very angry in Washington that I was I was being talked about with Gonzalo Mira that the 2 Americans were being discussed, and they were told, make it go away, especially because Sarah will not apologize. Because I made it clear, sir, Russian propagandists will be hunted down. I don't care if they arrest me for Speaker 1: It's clearly accumulating us. Speaker 0: Yes. We it looks like we gave in to the Russians. That's the part that was in incredible. Speaker 1: Okay, Sarah. The the bad the bad news is, about our counter offensive. And you know what is going on on the foreign stage. And I see that now we have great problems with equipment. We have great problems with soldiers now. So I can't I can't bear it anymore. And if it will be elections, we have to change the situation extremely. Even we will not we have some troubles with the with the people, with with our human resources. So the problem with corruption is also high. The problem with, our financial debts is also high. So no one is trying to to no one is trying to resolve these problems. Many people are trying to, just to make a great image of them. So they are trying to to help their reputation, especially in politics area. So it is set. Speaker 0: Yes, sir. They're trying to profit off of the blood of our lost soldiers. They're trying to profit off the blood of the men and women who are losing arms and legs. Because if we are making promises and not being realistic, our partners can't trust us in negotiations, and our partners can't trust our projection for what's going to happen in the future because all they can judge us on are the results. And that's one of the problems is that the messaging that we have coming out is truly fantastic. It's almost fantastic messaging, and that's good for fighting the Russians. It's not good when we're using this in discussions with our partners in Washington, our partners in Brussels, and our partners in, especially, the Eastern European nations, sir. Speaker 1: Yeah. And I I really disappointed by our president Now. Speaker 0: Yes, sir. And it's it's been 19 months of this. It's not about theater anymore. Theater was important in the first days weeks. It's not about populism, sir. It's not about populism on the world stage. Speaker 1: Did you hear about the case with, with the English soldier who was killed by his, his partner. So what do you think about Speaker 0: I think that we have a lot of foreign fighters, sir. As I said about your daughter when you were asking about putting within English speaking group or an international group, I think we have a terrible problem with most foreign fighters here because they are just a step above mercenaries, and they come here because all they know is warfare. And while I defend them in public, in private, I know many of them have very far right meetings. So there's some Nazi groups, and I reported this. I also know that many of them are doing this because they have no lives outside of, they're outside of in their own countries. And so we have security risks, and more importantly, we have morale and psychological issues because foreign soldiers are here for the money, most of them. Most of them. And those people are going to be the ones that are willing to engage in drugs, willing to engage in, fundraising where they're putting the money in their own pockets. And it's something we have to be very careful about. It did not surprise me, sir, that somebody was murdered. Unfortunately, what surprises me is that we're still allowing this to happen 19 months after the full scale invasion began. And these issues with foreigners, these issues with corruption, these issues with the fighting within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It takes away the focus from, as you said, the war and, more importantly, from the people of Ukraine. Speaker 1: Yeah. And I I have I have seen the some, some episodes from the Russian show with Maria Butina. So it was, funny to look at it, how they're trying to, to do how to train to harm harm you. It's, that Speaker 0: for me, I wear it as a badge of honor because, ultimately, when I signed my oath. So I am loyal to my country, the United States. But when I gave my oath to the armed forces of Ukraine, I I think she was a a terrible spy. I think she was a step above a whore. And, ultimately, she was rewarded as a Douma member. And this is Maria Butina is the reason, sir, that we know the Duma can never be taken seriously. Speaker 1: I can also propose you some, something. As you know, if it will be election soon, I can propose you to take your part as a deputy on the next level, but It is like a conversations now. Of course, we need to better. And I Speaker 0: would be honored, sir. I can say with no question, and I would be honored because your platform is 1. That's a platform about the future. Thank you, commander. Thank you, mister president. Speaker 1: Yeah. Thank you for your proposals, and, let's be in touch. Have a great day. Sir. Speaker 0: Welcome, sir. Thank you. Here

Video Transcript AI Summary
UN investigators have found that Russian propagandists are complicit in the genocide of the Ukrainian people. In response, they have created a deep fake to discredit the foreign fighters in Ukraine. These fighters are courageous individuals fighting for justice, liberty, and Ukraine's liberation. As a foreign volunteer, I am proud to stand with them and the other volunteers in this fight.

Speaker 0: On the same day that UN investigators have found that Russian propagandists are in fact complicit in calling for and carrying out the genocide of the Ukrainian people, the propagandists themselves have stooped to a new low. Because they can't argue with the facts of my reporting, they've created a deep fake. An AI generation meant to impugn the foreign fighters that I fight with here in Ukraine. Make no mistake, while no group is perfect. These are among the bravest human beings that can ever be found. They're fighting on the side of justice and liberty, and ultimately Ukraine's liberation, because it's not only the right thing to do, because they're the right people to carry it out. I'm proud to be a foreign volunteer in Ukraine, and I'm proud of so many of the other foreign volunteers and fighting alongside me.
