that is why you get photos as the leaves you lose, they get like another crap thing. another one, this could have been a doctor or nurse could have been the next president. we can't keep losing people out here, the hello and welcome to cross talk. we're all things are considered. i'm peter live out as western leaders recklessly talk of escalating the conflict in ukraine, european voters. it's that the exact opposite message pro war leads are clearly out of step with voters, and they've been punished for in the

cross section ukraine. i'm joined by my guess, daniel mcadams, in lake jackson. he is the executive director of the round hall institute for peace and prosperity in washington. we have richard cook. he is a former us federal policy analyst as well as author of our country then and now and in montreal, we crossed to matthew and read. he is a senior fellow at the american university in moscow and director of the rising tide foundation of canada. gentlemen, costs are girls in effect, that means he can jump any time you want. and i always appreciate danielle, let me go to you 1st. i mean i, i woke up this morning finding out to you and i are the same enemies list. okay. i still again, um you and i, uh, we seem to be highly profiles and these enemies list again another one of these lists that are funded by the us government. good money i used in this fashion, tax k or a pay or money your thoughts. so i'm just obviously hanging out with a route wrong crowd. i go to the bathroom close on me 100. i think this time they

may have stepped on it a little bit because um, you know, there were 390 some of the prominent americans, myself. excluded of course. but you're talking about donald trump, you on musk, tucker carlson, you know, and the fact that this uh, organization um text is affiliated with the us government through the us state department. and with the project they did together and through the usa id, which ones that are project with them, it's going to, i think, make it a little bit embarrassing. as i mentioned on our program yesterday. if i was a member of congress, i'd go down to the floor and say, i would like to know exactly what's going on with our foreign policy. why are we subsidizing a country that is putting americans on list when they know that they've had other list, they put people on that have been killed? so i mean, i think somebody like a merger, taylor green could do it. you know, the mat gates could do it. any of these guys could go down there and make a real scandal out of this. yeah, but the very fact that it's happening is a scandal in itself. i mean, again, you know, they, they do us,

nato is supporting ukraine because of its democracy in our shared values. i have no idea what the share values are whatsoever, and it's just shameful on the part of the us government, particularly the bye, didn't ministration. you know, richard, i started out with my introduction about the european elections and we don't have to delve deeply into them here. but i mean, the message is quite obvious to something that i've been saying on this program. and daniel has been saying on his program. but this isn't a leak project, the ukraine project is a lead project. and if you give the voters the chance every once in a while, they're going to tell you what they think about it. and so you have a leadership in germany and in france where they were embarrassed in front of the public for their public stance on this issue here. i don't know if it will have any impact, but every once in a while and it's, it's a trial balloon to see what people actually think your thoughts as well. i think as we realize, and one of the major themes in my book or countries in and now is that

the western world was taken over by the global this party many decades ago. and the amazon global is party, as we saw by the program put together by the council on foreign relations, right before world war 2 was to go over the course of time the united states, as the enforcer of the global hegemony would engineer a military domination of the entire globe that project has been going on now for a well over a half a century. and what we're seeing today is other parts of the world standing up to that and saying, no, we're not going to go along with it. but there's a tremendous upsurge of uh, of rethinking going on among the population to the western world,

including in europe and, and i know i have my own family and in germany i have a german american grandchildren. and the population of europe is finally themselves. rising up and saying this is ridiculous. why do we need what paperwork pepe escobar, called the head german controlling everything all the time. so that's of sure, well, maybe richard and they're not even doing a very good job of it. i mean, you know that, that's the problem here. you know, matthew, what we've seen over the last few weeks is escalation. i'm calling this program the folly of escalation. and you know, escalation only works or doesn't work to a certain point here. and we go into the realm of nuclear weapons and deterrence. and the problem i see here is it's what got us through the cold war was deterrence

. both sides agreed about the theory and practice of deterrence. now we have one side the west and says, now we're not going to play the guitar escape. he's there doing that at our great peril. everyone's peril. matthew. yeah, it, it is really concerning the, the new logic that entered the scene with these 3rd generation technocrats that seemed to have a real loss in mental aptitudes that was seen at the very least as vicious as people like kissinger or b brzezinski where they had a certain sense, at least of their self interest, and the idea of deterrence was a big factor of the mutual assured destruction which i, again don't, i don't, i don't even think that the mutual assured destruction idea was necessary or good. but the very least, there was an idea of a one side, wasn't going to win nuclear war ways. now with these younger generations, technocrats that have been drinking their own kool aid and operating on these games to remodels, they've been deemed out again. and again, for the past 2530 years demonstrating that they're typically possible. somehow that

according to these computers to we are at least with minimal collateral damage with our, you know, asian or european allies, collateral damage accepted. but, but it's still possible when it's their motive, they're war and they're acting upon this insanity, despite all the evidence to the contrary. and despite the hypersonic missiles, the candles, the other next generation weapons that demonstrate that these mathematical models are, are foolish, are they don't work in reality, but they're still acting on it. and it is very candid, matthew, it's even more concerning and doesn't get the coverage. it deserves obviously in western media. is it? and i think daniel will agree with me here is that over the last few weeks, even months right now we could use the starting point of tucker carlson, his interview with ladder me approved, and that's a good benchmark. there, they're very well aware how the us in nature was disregarding the they these, these concept of deterrence. i mean, even to the point of pleading, say, would you sober up? would you wake up? let me throw that to daniel. daniel, what do you think about that?

no, i mean, to me, it looks like a escalation is the new router of off and you know, the new wonder weapon because everything they put out has been fail, has failed from the javelins to the least. the leopards, everything is spill. so the new wonder weapon now you create and what of one, if only we would have let them strike the russians as they were amassing over the board. if only you had done that, then they would have won. so if we start doing that, then they'll when it was the same thing with the money. oh, if the republicans would only stop dragging their feet and pass this money while they did pass. so money didn't change the thing. and now this is the next escalation, because in their minds, and this is how neo cons operate. they don't have a back, they will have the same thought process as the we do, which is that putting is bluffing. rush is bluffing, they're afraid of us. we're number one where the interest says one nation. so no matter what we do, they won't retaliate, and it's a dangerous and deadly game that they're playing with our lives. you know, richard, i, i here on various podcasts these days. the russians don't bluff,

they act. well yours truly said that about 2 and a half years ago and now it's gotten currency. i wish i would get the royalties for saying it, but i don't. but richard, that is the point here. they're playing a game of bluff that they think that they can win and no one will win this, this game of chicken as well. what we don't realize, uh enough, is that all this will big bluff game is to cover up a total play. natural collapse of the western world. of the western world has been sinking deeper and deeper into debt due to if you use a re based financial system going back really a centuries. they sucked up all of the money in the world that they can get their hands on. but now we're looking at catastrophic data uh, particularly within the united states in the us government, where the government debt is over a 125 percent of the gdp which,

which is acknowledged as being catastrophic. and i have said that the us government has been functionally bank brooks. now for 15 years, the only reason they've escaped from it is a treasury bond level finance by purchased by this federal reserve of us government debt. because everybody else, particularly china, is dumping their us to so all of this looming in the background wearing down the tracks like a runaway train. the system has to cover it up by all of this bluff and all of these for an extra page. there are a smoke screen for what is really happening now. and matthew, you, we had lindsey graham the most and tore us of them all. he just said in the last new cycle, what it's really all about and you create a you create is a gold mine. i mean, another market to put a pillage. i mean they, they really say the quiet part outside out every once in a while. go ahead, matthew. yeah, what does it, what did you say 10 to 12 truly. yeah, dollars,

minerals. 5 and uh, yeah, what, why, why look, the russians and the trainees have the actually included both russia and china in is narratives. we could have it. i mean it, it's like this is inside what stuff and you're just coming out saying it. but then again they're, they're also say, and they're, they're going on a flight board right now as well. i mean, they're looking to try to get the additional $300000000000.00 the cops case from rough for an asset or they are still going for that. there, there, there, there is, i think it's tied to what richard was just saying that there's this collapse function that, that is positive on some level by these, these neil con freaks. and they're just grappling, we're straws for anything that will get them to be preserved from being sucked into this oncoming of bits of collapse. and so they're there, get in a desperate flight, ford motor of what can i get? what can i steal to keep this boat afloat a little bit longer, but it's destined to collapse and can't do anything but collapse unless you, you get your head out of your ass and you realize that we need systemic errors over

decades. and let's start making corrections, but if you don't do that, well, when the magic, what makes it worse? matthew is that they everything that you just said what richard just said about the economy and then tie in election cycles. okay, so just keep the government going into november. unfortunately, the whole world doesn't revolve around american elections. thankfully finish up before we go to the break. matthew, you know, i, i think like a is like i said, the, the window is closing very fast right now. and, and russian has offered us trun is offered us all of these wonderful windows of opportunity to actually demonstrate what a real cooperative partnership can look like. how we can build infrastructure together. and we've chosen to look the other way over decades now. and to go for hedge money instead. so and, and, and, and that is a craven choice that we've discussed on this program for years. gentlemen, we're going to go to a short break. and after that short break, we'll continue our discussion on ukraine. stay with the

summer to attend and i'm here to plan with you. whatever you do. do not watch my new shells. seriously. why watch something that's so different whitelisted opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please do the have the state department c i a weapons, bankers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. change and whatever you do. don't want marshall state main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called stretching time, but again, you probably don't want to watch it because it might just change the way instead. fine scott, bennett, i'm a former united states army psychological warfare officer really served in the state department counterterrorism office under investor del daily the

. so i wanted to come here to russia in the dawn bass area and to gather the facts, to take back to the american people. the hold on bass of the front lines, the square, the bombs and the bullets are raging. this is where people are dying. this is where the buildings are exploding the all. i wanted to see 1st hand the scars of war. the

welcome. next across stock were all things are considered on peter lavelle to mind you were discussing ukraine, the . okay, let's go back to daniel and lake jackson, speaking of one year, a weapons the f sixteens are on their way. we're told. okay, me reading that for a while here, but ukraine says, you know, with the, with, it's the wonder weapon they're going to store station some of their f sixteens outside of ukraine. well, presumably that means maybe poland, maybe romania, maybe the baltic states. and this bodes very, very badly because for them russian point of view, it doesn't really matter where these planes are stationed, if they're going to be designed to kill russians or even into a russian aerospace. so they are targets. of course i'm getting at article 5, daniel a. yeah, i mean it doesn't take the military expert and i'm far from one to understand that the 16 is, are not a game changer. they say no,

you can brush it has air dominance. that's an absolute fact. you know, i mean, anyone with an eye with eyes can see this. and so they realize this is the case. they can't take off on ukrainian run ways because the russians will bomb the runways. and then the sixteen's, i apparently are very quirky and they have to have for steam run ways to take all from. although otherwise a great plane, never the less so they're going to have to store them and hide them. and romania and poland, pretty dumb idea. and what's the last thing that i read is that the ones that are hidden over there will not be used in combat. they're just kind of spares in case or when the other. ready is, are shot down, which will be the case. and peter, if i could just add one very quick thing on the lindsey graham thing, which is very funny. i was just looking got a chart before the show and lindsay grams, 12 trillion dollars worth of minerals over half of them are located in the 4 provinces that are already part of russia. so good luck with that. have mr. graham, mrs. graham. well, i mean that mcdaniel but this is also all part of

a paradigm that we've seen since the end of the cold war, the under the soviet union. now it's the end of russia. this is, this has been their mindset all along. let me throw it to richard here. i mean, if you, if you look at the, how joe biden soiled, the normandy, come member ration, apparently he sold it in more than one way. all of that are viewers the decide on that. but you mean, you know, when he's a cheering on the death of a russian soldiers, a 100, at an event where the united states and the soviet union were allies. and in an event where the allies could have only invaded normandy, because of the soviet advances on the eastern front. i mean, the, from the russian side, you know, is like been a poll napoleon, the germans denazi's, and now we have nato. it's all part of the same, seamless view of history. richard. well, the western way of making war and i point particular to the british and to the americans is to show,

provokes the other side of that. the other side will react in such a way that we can then point the finger at them and blame them for starting the war . this was the way the spanish american war began was, remember, the main. it's the way the united states army wiped out to native americans because they would, uh, so uh, pressure the native americans killing off there. it's a buffalo that when the native americans reacted they would go in and they would decimate and destroy the villages. it was the way the united states provoked the japanese into attacking before world war 2 and is quite obvious to what we're trying to do. all right, and commentators say this over and over again is to show pressure russia to pressure china that they will react in such a way that we can then say, oh, they started the war. we have clean hands, so we're going to go after them because they're to blame. not. uh, yeah, so yeah, i agree with you. absolutely. but matthew,

we have something called the nuclear weapons this time around. and i'd like to point out to everyone. when you look at great power politics, you tried great powers, try to avoid direct confrontation with other great powers. you know why? because you might lose. that's why you fight proxy wars. the by the administration can seem to get through. it's that through it's fix, go go ahead, matthew, you have whether there's a lack of wisdom on a, on a lot of levels. right. and we, in terms of what richard was just saying, i think that that's actually really interesting, that there is an inability to take the lessons, basic elementary lessons from history and apply them. i mean, it just happened the opening up the, the, the 2nd friday after postponing it for a year and a half after pay. but it finally happened. it happened largely because of the sacrifice of the russians where it would be carried up the balance current, stalling, and stalling red the amount of sacrifice. a rush at the, the russians, and the chinese carrying the weight of world war 2 mostly is on their shoulders.

with 90 percent of them are being absorbed by the russian military and the russian people were all that was ignored until we entered in mid 1944. on the 2nd front of the least in europe. i mean, it, all of that was ignored and all of the da commemorations by biding by these you're keen technocrats. they just completely ignored the russian sacrifice because it's not convenient to be reminded of that when the crude object agenda is to re replay world war 2. but on the other side we're, we're all of a sudden taking the as odds off of a wow. i did, oh, you read my mind. that's exactly where i want to go. daniel daniel, you know a now american arms can be used by the us of battalion about 10 years ago. that was . busy considered illegal by the us congress now they've continually given neo fascist the green light to use our weapons. okay. this is extraordinary. what kind of coverage doesn't get oh, that doesn't. they weren't. they were faded on the campus of stanford not too long

ago. this is this really about values or if it's about values the brought there is there the wrong values, daniel? one of the reasons you and i and so many others made that list. peter is because, according to the organization, people who suggest that there was a nazi problem in ukraine, the are pushing russian propaganda. well, again, if that you, all you have to do is have eyes to see and you can see these are not the nicest guy on the block. and so the idea that they can use the weapons is another reflection of the desperation. i mean, i don't know if you gentlemen saw, but of yesterday i think it was the end. the loo press agency published some photographs of ukrainian military men. and i mean, i'm not a young guy anymore. but these guys looks like, you know, my dad's age. i mean, pretty, pretty bad. pretty, pretty old desperation. there's no man left a fight and that's a problem. and again, we're headed by people like, like the by the administration where button is just simply not a player in this game. so that falls to the 2nd tier, people like jake sullivan. and if you look over jakes career and we don't have time

to go into it now. but this guy has a string of failures, you know, going back to, to libya. i mean this, this guy has, has no achievements whatsoever the same as to a 20 blinking as a i think what you started out. these are men without achieving in their lives without anything other than this idea of power politics and establishing the narrative. their narrative establishes that's, that's what i can do. yeah. but, but daniel, if i can show it to richard, they're not good at any of these things. even if establishing the difference, if they can't deem it so you keep it straight. i mean, this is what they, they don't deal with the real world. they deal with the world what they want it to be. and this is the big disconnect because the russians are primarily concerned with their security. i'm not really sure what the west is concerned about beyond hit gemini, which it doesn't. where is it working out for them anyway, richard, where we need to look at who is busting these people around where their orders are coming from. their orders are coming from to use a phrase,

big global banking and finance. these are the ones who run the hedge a month. they usually have one to give the orders to the new cards. they use the other ones who gives the orders to the us military. now i'm sure daniel has noticed with great interest. the representative, thomas massey, is introduced to bill in congress, very reminiscent of rome, paul, which is to abolish the federal reserve that goes to the heart of the matter. no, he doesn't proposing that bill what we're going to put in its place. but what we have to put in this place is, and indigenous monetary system that a recognizes as the banking system has run the united states and the rest of the western world and a function of bankruptcy. and be we need a new monetary system based on building a functioning society for all of our citizens. so that's kind of where we're at right now. yeah. well, it's really interesting, matthew, is that we,

we got to kind of a sneak preview in st. petersburg at the conference out there last week, but we're going to get it in october. i think when the breaks, as they are, um annual meeting is going to be in cars on russia. and i think they're gonna roll out their own switch to the mit. all about the monetary system that richard was talking about, except for this one will work with out the dollar, matthew. yeah. pushing this has made that clear that that's the intention. i know you are the reading, informed minister or the finance minister last month. also saying that this was in the works, russia is already, i think now i, the last statistic i read was that 86 percent of transactions take place in local currencies versus 23 percent of last year. seen time in, in russian. the russian central bank at least, so you definitely have a convergence, i think by this growing multi polar lines, the bricks which is now seeing, i think there is like with the turkish or foreign minister, calling to join the bricks. there's a huge waiting list now of other nations wanting to get on board this

a viable thing that can flow where the current system of the you, the us dollar is obviously tanking people want off the ship. and i think it's only a matter of time, and as you said, the next brick summit might very well bleed be a place where we see a watershed breakthrough on the alternative to swift as a fully integrated payment system. and god knows what, mike, what beautiful things might come out of that. you know, daniel, you know, is what, these, the, the new elections that are being called in france. and there we could possibly see it in germany. what they're doing is they're all calling for a war economy. they, they're preparing for a war that they can easily avoid explaining that. i mean, it's like me preparing for a marathon. yeah, i can prepare, but it's not gonna happen, right? i mean, for economy what economy, you don't have an economy you had your pipeline is blown up by the americans. what are you talking about? you know, it's a complete joke and i think that's why the european public. i mean, this is a referendum on how they feel their leaders are doing and guess what? they're not very happy in using the a f

d dominated the entire eastern part of germany. i mean, this is a massive protest boat. so my guess is we'll put this in, daniel was in light of what you just said considering the demon ization that party experience for months before the election, at least still did. well, i'm sorry to interrupt, keep going. no, you're absolutely right. i mean, they were one step away from being outlawed and they may still try to do that. my guess is what's going to happen next or this. whoops. are going to get busy. they're going to infiltrate these parties. they're going to have a rogue party members saying crazy things so that they can demonize the parties. they're going to do whatever they can because i think they're in full panic. now with these, with these elections in france as well. i mean, we're looking at the pen, i mean, possibly i'm in different quantities as the snap elections. he called maybe you quit. and if that's the case, i mean there could be a, a real tidal waves there. and so the next step is for this books to get in and undermine the whole thing. yeah, it's all about us a top democracy versus a, a talk receive. but what i see going on in the west is the most fundamental anti

democratic impulses. here we're seeing what the, the, i think the washington post is doing to the great zone. and i think that is a trial balloon. unfortunately, how are they gonna go after other people like on this program? who are dissenting? okay, that's, that's the next major block. we have to deal with the gentleman that's all the time we have on with like my guess in montreal, washington and in lake jackson. and of course i want to thank our viewers for watching us here at archie. see you next time. remember, across the rules, the, [000:00:00;00] the,

[000:00:00;00] the 41 percent of us adults have an up savings to cover a $1000.00 emergency. we have record numbers of americans who are on the verge and having their cars repossessed more than a 137000000 americans are facing financial hardship because of medical. then in america, we do have a welfare system in place to help people who are struggling financially, but it's a conditional system. you have to prove to the government that you truly need help

. the simplest way, like explain the basic income, is that is like social security. for the rest of us, a basic income would be a monthly payments that would go to everyone. just a $1000.00 a month, no strings attached to you. so hey, well, i would like that maybe i don't know, i just wanna go crazy. the reason that i am a fan of guaranteed income because it is this idea that everybody is deserve. and then just by virtue of your being here, the, well, interestingly enough, that was one of the most valuable things that i wanted to do was question, shall we say these ukrainian prisoners? because i wanted to get inside their minds. i wanted to disentangle the strings that tied them up in knots that enabled and animated their actions. what was their decision making process? what were their biases, their prejudices?

what was their psychological profile? i wanted to study them in very deep detailed ways. i am an american i see army officer and i've come to ukraine to try and understand and taking the understanding back to americans about what has been happening here. so i'm very glad that you will sit down and talk with me, and i'm very glad that you speak english because my russian is that good. i myself june to for the regiment as old. i live combo a girl, the most that girl on want somebody to read over a joint as of my name is denied. james, my son is hunter, as my goal sign was that i had. and what i found with the 1st prisoner who was
