Full transcript with timestamps

0:00 Russia is actively considering the use of nuclear weapons against Europe, not against Kiev, against Europe, specifically the UK and Germany. Just taking out the UK and Germany with nuclear weapons. That's a fact. Now, we're going to explain why we know that that's true in a moment. And at the end of this open, we're going to play an interview we did a few hours ago with a man called Sergey Karog, who is a longtime political adviser to Vladimir Putin and one of the most famous public intellectuals in Russia, been around for about 35 years, advised Boris Yeltson, you know, 30 years ago, more than 30 years ago. Um, and in that interview he says point blank, "Yes, if the Ukraine war continues at this tempo for a year or two more, we speaking apparently on behalf of the Russian government, on behalf of his friend Putin, or at least someone who's very familiar with President Putin's thinking, we Russia will eliminate the

1:11 UK and Germany with nuclear weapons." Now, that's a headline. No one wants to see Qatari gas wellheads blown up. No one wants to see killing of any kind or destruction of any kind. But taking out the two most important countries in Europe, both of which have big American bases, lots of American personnel, of course, international banking. uh Germany being the economic engine of Europe, London being the banking center of Europe of the really of the west along with New York and of course these are two ancient countries with which we have close ties history and kinship and genetics.

1:56 We're going to take them out. We're going to eliminate those countries with nuclear weapons. Saying that right into camera. So that's a pretty big story. Have you read that story? Has anyone mentioned that to you that the most famous public intellectual in Russia, a close friend of Vladimir Putin's, exactly the same age? The two were born a month apart, have known each other a long time, is saying in public that Russia plans to use nuclear weapons against Western Europe. Russia is going to blow up the UK and Germany if things don't get resolved soon. You probably haven't heard that. hasn't actually been on the front page of the New York Times.

2:36 I don't think the Times of London has mentioned it. No one seems to be paying any attention at all to the biggest story of our lifetimes potentially. And that's very odd. And it's not just one guy who's friends with Putin who's saying this. If you watch carefully, or not even carefully, with one eye open at what Russia's been doing recently, things are changing. So, Russia has publicly rewritten its nuclear strategy to include use of nuclear weapons against countries that are acting as proxies for nuclear armed powers. Now, this is kind of classic Russian bureaucratic talk, but it means that under Russian law, Russia is permitted to by its own rules blow up Germany, even though Germany does not have nuclear weapons. The UK supposedly does. Wonder whose hands they're in. But Germany does not have nuclear weapons and Russia has just said no you're fair game for a nuclear strike and not a so not a defensive nuclear

3:35 strike like you launched us we're going to launch against you. No you keep poking us in the face and we're going to eliminate you. Said that publicly and then last week a week ago I think a week ago today Russia sent hypersonic missiles into Kiev into Kv Ukraine. Now, the hypersonic missiles killed probably four people. This was not an attack designed to destroy important infrastructure or to cause massive civilian casualties. This was an attack designed as a message. And the Russians just said this point blank. This was an attack designed to say, "Whoa, you've pushed us too far. We feel like our core interests, our existential interests are threatened. And if you don't back off, the next hypersonic missile we send against which no country has any meaningful defense. You can't stop a hypersonic missile. No one has even claimed that you can.

4:32 The next one will have a nuclear warhead on it and it's coming at you, Europe. So, let's just think this through for a sec. Why would Russia, which is supposedly in this bitter war against Ukraine, being backstabed by NATO and the US, etc., etc., but they're fighting Ukraine over territory. Why would Russia be threatening Europe? Ah, because the Russians, whatever their faults, don't lie to themselves as aggressively as we do. And the Russians are saying out loud what is absolutely true about this war, which is it's a proxy war. It is not a war between Russia and Ukraine, and it never has been. And nothing that's happened in Ukraine since the fall of the Soviet Union 35 years ago has really been about Ukraine.

5:20 There has been a global scramble to control Ukraine, its land, its resources. There are other reasons people want to control Ukraine that are not directly related to land or resources that have to do with history. But in any case, non Ukrainians have been calling the shots in Ukraine for 35 years. That's what Maidan was. That's what the coup, the US back coup was. None of this had anything to do with Ukraine. What's best for Ukraine. We're going to make Ukraine a sovereign nation. The opposite has happened. Ukraine has less sovereignty. Ukraine is more of a puppet. And Ukraine has suffered more than maybe any country on earth over the last four years.

5:58 Now, why? Well, we'll get into that, but first just to show you how completely this war is being controlled from the outside on behalf of outside non- Ukrainian interests for reasons that have nothing to do with what's good for Ukraine. I want to show you the following clip. And by the way, if you just want to prove the point, how many Ukrainians have been killed in this war, paid for by the West, paid for by NATO and the and Joe Biden? No one knows. Hundreds of thousands. Obviously, it's depopulated the country, but nobody cares. And you would think that if we're waging a war on behalf of the freedomseeking people of Ukraine, if we love the Ukrainians so much that we're willing to send them hundreds of millions of dollars and our best CIA targeters and willing to put biolabs in their country to defend them from Russian aggression, you would think if we love them that much, we might keep a

6:54 tally of how many of them have been killed in the prime of life on the flat landscape of Ukraine. But of course, no one's keeping score because nobody cares. The people running this war on the western side have zero interest in what it costs Ukraine. None. Because it was never about them in the first place. And now to the promised clip. This was shot about 10 years ago. We just saw it. And it's an amazingly instructive piece of videotape. Now you will see and you will recognize immediately the Hungarian man on the left that would be Mr. George Soros, one of the world's most successful financiers, I think, as he's euphemistically described, a guy who's bet against national currencies, really done nothing to make the world a better place or to improve the lives of individuals, has only sown chaos and hatred and violence really for the length of his professional life. For whatever reason, whatever motive might be animating him,

7:55 he is on the left. On the right is a woman called Christian Freeland. She's not Ukrainian either. She's from Canada. She's from Alberta, Canada. She spent the bulk of her career as a journalist working for Reuters and other news organizations, news organizations like that, both in London and in Washington, where we spent quite a bit of time with her. And then she became the deputy prime minister of Canada under Justin Trudeau. H and an economic pooha. And if you're interested in how well she did, well, you can just look up facts about the current state of the Canadian economy.

8:32 Not very well. But here's the interesting thing. Just recently, Christia Freeland, who again is not a product of you, she didn't grow up in Ukraine. She grew up in Canada and lived in London and Washington. Christian Felin is somehow working for president, unelected president Zalinski in Ukraine, who himself is not really that Ukrainian, grew up speaking Russian. He's a citizen of the world like she is like they all are. But she's now an unpaid economic adviser to Ukraine. Unpaid, right? Okay. They're divying up the natural resources of a country they know will soon collapse with no regard for the people who've been killed, of course. But here is Christopher Freeland and George Soros 10 years ago talking about Ukraine and in so doing giving the game away. Watch this.

9:31 Yeah. And I will just offer my own personal testimony here. It's actually amazing in Ukraine. the new Ukrainian government, the new Ukrainian leadership, everyone who I know in that group has been touched somehow by open society and by Jordan like literally either people personally got a scholarship or someone you know their wife got a scholarship. It it's a really remarkable thing. Well, this was a for me uh quite an experience uh to see this and I I didn't realize actually uh uh how much how big an effect it has had over a 25 year period because those were students uh 25 years later they were leaders.

10:24 Everybody she knows in Ukrainian leadership says Christian Freeland. Everybody has taken money from George Soros or their wives have taken money from George Soros. Everyone running the country is actually employed by this Hungarian billionaire who's got nothing to do with the country. Oh, no one would admit that now. That's a conspiracy theory. But George Soros smiled and took credit for it. Of course, we had no idea how successful we were. Successful at what? What was the plan here? You put everybody in a country's leadership on your payroll. To what end?

11:06 What were you trying to achieve? Well, I guess we could debate what Soros's motives were at the time, but we don't need to because as we know, the purpose of a system is its outcome. Over time, we don't have to guess about why certain people or certain organizations exist. We can instead look at what they do. We can judge the tree by its fruit. And the current state of Ukraine was clearly the point all along. destroy the country, depopulate it, change the laws that prevent foreigners from buying its natural resources, its land, some of the most fertile farmland in the world, huge tracks of it. It's an enormous country. It's the biggest country in Europe, also the weakest and the most corrupt. Many people doing this had ancestors in Ukraine. So, there very much is a sense that, wait a second, you know, this is ours, too. Christopher Freeland had ancestors from Ukraine. A lot of people involved in making policy

12:15 about Ukraine had ancestors in Ukraine. And so there is a kind of entitlement that you see on display. No, no, this is an interest. Of course, we have a right to weigh in on this, but not for the benefit of the Ukrainians. Really, all of this is about taking what once belonged to the country they claimed they loved and using that country in order to defeat its much larger neighbor, which is the real prize, Russia. So, the new year is here, but that does not mean you've got to overhaul your whole life. Despite claims to the contrary, you don't have to take drastic measures. Make a few changes here and there, and you'll be a lot better off. And you can start with the snacks in your pantry. Now, products from standard American chip brands are, let's be honest, pretty repulsive, filled with chemicals. They make you feel heavy and bloated. They don't even taste that good. They're not good for

13:09 you. We recommend an upgrade with masa chips. Masa is the easiest way to eat clean without feeling like you're on a diet. The chips contain three ingredients. That's it. Organic corn, sea salt, 100% grass-fed beef towel, and that is it. No seed oils, no mystery chemicals, just food, actual food. And they're amazing. and you feel great after. You don't feel weighed down. We particularly enjoyed the coinero flavor lately, but they're all great. You want to give them a try, visit masachips.com, masach.com/tucker.
