00:00I can't imagine that many people say that it's hard to believe that Putin can be fooled.
00:06It's, you know, everyone can be fooled.
00:10But I wanted to believe, because...
00:14Because...
00:21Because in such a state of Russia.
00:25We couldn't believe it and didn't step into some serious moves.
00:31In other words, we had a constant work in the field of security,
00:36in the field of safety, in the field of military forces and economy and finance.
00:42But we were not ready to face it to do it.
00:45We really wanted to solve the problem of Donbass with a sense of misinteresting.
00:52But it turned out that the other side was thinking and acting differently.
00:57Why did you start the special operations earlier?
01:01By all the reasons you called it?
01:03Yes, of course.
01:04This is my video update on this Monday afternoon.
01:10May the 5th coming to you from Nicosia Cyprus.
01:16Let's talk about some news.
01:21And let's start things off with the first round of the elections in Romania.
01:30And it was George Simeon who ended up in first place with 40.4% of the vote in the first round.
01:41So he will move on to the second round, which will take place on May 18th.
01:47And I believe he will be facing off against the mayor of Bucharest.
01:55I believe ended up in second place.
01:57Second place was very close between a couple of candidates.
02:00But I do think that the mayor of Bucharest, who is the EU globalist's choice for these elections.
02:11Nicosur Dan.
02:14Nicosur Dan.
02:15Nicosur Dan.
02:16That's his name, right?
02:17I know his last name is Dan.
02:19Because I think of Lieutenant Dan.
02:22Lieutenant Dan.
02:24Life is like a box of chocolates, Lieutenant Dan.
02:28Yeah, that's how I remember his name.
02:31But I think his first name is Nicosur.
02:33But the mayor of Bucharest.
02:35He's who the globalists and the EU is pulling for.
02:38George Simeon.
02:40We know George Simeon.
02:42He was supporting Georgescu.
02:44Georgescu was banned by the EU and by the globalists.
02:50from running in the, well, the first elections were cancelled.
02:56And then he was banned from running in these do-over elections.
03:00All because of Russian TikTok interference.
03:05Which has been completely debunked.
03:08But still, they did not allow Georgescu to run in the do-over elections.
03:12So Simeon took over for Georgescu.
03:16He's, in a way, he's running instead of Georgescu.
03:20But he is campaigning and even went to vote with Georgescu.
03:25So he's very much aligned with Georgescu.
03:28And he even said that if he does win the elections,
03:31then he will appoint Georgescu to a very high position in his cabinet.
03:36So the Romanian people have spoken.
03:38They were denied the opportunity for a free and fair election the first time around.
03:44Which was looking like Georgescu was heading for a victory there.
03:49They were denied that opportunity.
03:52And now we have the do-over elections.
03:55And the people said, you know what?
03:57We will support Simeon and Georgescu.
04:03And that's what they did.
04:08With 40.4% of the vote.
04:10And with that much of a percentage, it will be impossible for Simeon to lose in the second round.
04:22With 40.4% in the first round, there is no way that he is going to lose in the second round.
04:33Boy, did the EU really screw up.
04:35The globalists and the EU, they really screwed this one up.
04:39They thought they had it figured out when they canceled the first elections because of their panic over a Georgescu win.
04:48And it has completely backfired.
04:50And now we have Simeon with Georgescu set to win the elections.
04:56Unless, of course, and this is a possibility, the globalists and the European Union decide to cancel these elections as well.
05:07It's possible, man.
05:08You'd have to be pretty, pretty crazy to cancel these elections because you're in absolute panic mode over Simeon.
05:18But who knows?
05:20Ursula, Kayakalis, Macron.
05:24They just might do it, Mertz.
05:28They just might say, you know what?
05:30Just cancel these elections as well.
05:32I'll give it a 5% chance.
05:35I mean, it's possible, but I highly doubt it.
05:40What will happen most likely is that because they can't cancel these elections as well.
05:46The elections will, the second round will take place on May 18th.
05:50Simeon will win.
05:53And the EU and the globalists, they're going to then pile on the pressure on Romania and on Simeon.
05:59And they're going to try, in my opinion, they're going to try to turn him.
06:03Try to get him on side.
06:05Get him to, to the dark side, to the dark side.
06:09Like Maloney.
06:10They're going to try to do what they did with Maloney.
06:12You know, we've got tools, right?
06:14We've got tools.
06:15Ursula is going to sit down with Simeon and she's going to say, we've got tools.
06:19Just like they did with Maloney.
06:21And, and they, and they got Maloney on side for the most part.
06:26Maloney is with the globalists.
06:28She's with the EU.
06:29She's definitely with NATO.
06:30And that's the most important part for Romania.
06:32They have to make sure that Romania is 100% committed to NATO, committed to project Ukraine.
06:38The globalists in the EU, they have a lot of, a lot of big plans when it comes to the project Ukraine.
06:44And Romania is absolutely key when it comes to, to project Ukraine and to escalating with Russia.
06:51So, that's what they're going to do.
06:55That is exactly what, what the plan is going to be.
06:59And they'll allow a little bit of rebellion, like they do with Maloney.
07:02Like Maloney, they allow her to rebel a little bit.
07:05But for the most part, they got her on side, especially when it comes to NATO.
07:09She's absolutely committed to NATO and about 95% committed to the EU.
07:15They give her 5% to rebel and then they bring her back in line.
07:19But that's what they'll do with Simeon.
07:21Anyway, that's the situation in Romania.
07:24That's how I think this is going to play out.
07:26But 5% chance says that they try to cancel these elections as well.
07:31I'll give it 5%, man.
07:33And if that happens, look out.
07:35If that happens, there's going to be a revolution in Romania.
07:38We'll see.
07:39May 18th.
07:41That is when we have the second round.
07:43John Politico says, meet George Simeon, the hard right Romanian election winner, who's banned from Ukraine.
07:49The nationalist chief, pacificly supports Donald Trump and Georgia Maloney.
07:54And he leads the presidential race ahead of May 18th critical second round.
07:59He supports Trump.
08:00He supports Maloney.
08:02He's banned in Ukraine.
08:05Oh, man.
08:06He's banned from going to Ukraine.
08:08Wow.
08:09Hey, Bedoliak, ban this guy.
08:12I don't like him.
08:13I don't like this guy.
08:16He will not be allowed to travel to Ukraine.
08:19True.
08:20We have not seen Simeon get on a train from Poland and travel to Kiev to pay homage to Olenskiy.
08:32We have not seen that.
08:34That's a good sign.
08:35An absolutely good sign.
08:38So that's Politico talking about the election in Romania.
08:44Let's do an update on on Olenskiy and the story that I talked about yesterday, where he he warned world leaders.
08:57Do not go to Moscow on May 9th.
09:00And if you go to Moscow on May 9th, I cannot guarantee your safety.
09:04That was the warning that Olenskiy put out there, of which the collective West has not criticized Olenskiy for this threat, for this warning.
09:13Not one country in the collective West has come out and said that Olenskiy is cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.
09:19He should not be issuing warnings to world leaders like Xi Jinping or Lula, who will be at the May 9th Victory Day event.
09:29Not one leader has come out and spoken against Olenskiy's comments.
09:34That tells you a lot.
09:36Not one world leader in the collective West.
09:38But word on the street, word on the street is that the United States, they told the Olenskiy regime via diplomatic back channels, very quietly, they told the Olenskiy regime,
10:00don't you dare try anything on May 9th when all of these world leaders are in Moscow.
10:07Don't you dare do anything.
10:09That is, that is what the word on the street is.
10:12That is what the United States told the Kyiv regime.
10:18Regime.
10:19And we are getting reports that China, get this, China contacted France and the UK.
10:29And they told France and the UK to tell your puppet, don't you dare do anything in Moscow while Xi Jinping is visiting.
10:43That's what they told France and the UK.
10:46So now we know 1000% with certainty who, who pulls the strings for, for Olenskiy.
10:57China did not go to Kiev.
10:59They didn't go to Ukraine.
11:00They called up Macron and they called up Stammer and they said, you better tell your puppet to, to not try any, any funny business when Xi Jinping is in Moscow.
11:11He better not do anything when he's in Moscow.
11:15I can't confirm this a hundred percent, but those are the reports that we are getting.
11:20Like I said, word on the street, everybody word on the street.
11:24So Olenskiy, he is, he is demanding that the, uh, the Ukraine parliament members that they vote to approve the minerals deal,
11:40which is really not much of a minerals deal, but he wants the parliament members to approve this.
11:50And, uh, and if they don't approve the minerals deal, then Olenskiy is threatening them by saying that he will tell the United States, he will tell the United States to, to revoke their travel visas to the US.
12:14He's going to demand, he's going to demand that the United States do not give them travel visas.
12:20If they vote against the rare earth minerals deal, the investment fund, it's not a minerals deal.
12:27It's an investment fund.
12:28I've talked about this in, uh, in a video that I made a couple of days ago.
12:33It's an investment fund that's going to be set up in Ukraine.
12:39We'll stay in Ukraine for 10 years, according to a post from the, the economy minister.
12:47I think she's the economy minister that traveled to the United States to sign this agreement.
12:51And, uh, according to her statements, this, uh, this fund will, will be 50 50 split between the US and Ukraine.
13:01It's going to remain in Ukraine for 10 years, far, far away from, from an audit or from any kind of oversight.
13:09And it's going to stay in Ukraine and money's going to pour into this fund from Ukraine, from the United States.
13:15And it's going to stay put for 10 years, 10 years in the Ukraine, in the Ukraine washing machine, which will spin round and round and round.
13:27And when we have the agreement, at least we have one of the three agreements, they say there are three agreements and no one knows if the other two were signed.
13:37The first agreement, uh, was signed, but no one knows if the other two were signed the main agreement, which is the limited partnership agreements.
13:44We have not seen that one.
13:45And that is the main agreement.
13:46The agreement that we have seen doesn't really tell us much of anything.
13:49It doesn't say anything at all, really.
13:51And the main agreement that constantly references the LP agreement.
13:55We have not seen the LP agreement.
13:58From what I understand, the parliament has not seen the LP agreement, the Ukraine parliament.
14:03They have not seen the LP agreement.
14:04They have not read the LP agreement.
14:06And they're being asked to vote to approve this, even though they haven't seen anything.
14:11Uh, yet they haven't seen the main agreement, at least.
14:14But they're being asked to, to sign off on, uh, on this.
14:18I wonder if we're ever going to see the limited partnership agreement or if it's going to remain hidden.
14:24So that's, uh, that's Olenski's warning.
14:28You better vote yes on an agreement that you have not seen or not read.
14:32If you don't, I'm going to tell the United States to not allow you to travel to the United States.
14:37That's how important traveling to the United States, I guess, is for Ukraine parliament members.
14:45I guess it's really important to travel to the U.S.
14:50Anyway, that's, uh, that's Olenski.
14:52That's an update on that one.
14:56Oh, what did he post on X?
14:58He posted this on X.
15:00The war will end just as eternal dictatorships fall, just as any empire built on the principles of war.
15:08Disrespect for people and their rights.
15:10Disdain for human life comes to an end.
15:13So, wow, I can't believe he's saying this about, about the empire, the empire that's about to fall.
15:22Is he talking about, what's he talking about here?
15:25Is he talking about the EU?
15:26Is he talking about the U.S.?
15:27Is he talking about Russia?
15:29I think he's talking about the collective West.
15:32I can't believe he posted this about the collective West.
15:37The war will end just as eternal dictatorships fall.
15:40Just as any empire, just as any empire built on the principles of war.
15:45Disrespect for people and their rights.
15:48Disdain for human life comes to an end.
15:50Who's he talking about?
15:52Olenski, who are you talking about in this post, man?
15:55Can't be Russia.
15:57Anyway, Putin, he has a documentary coming out, which marks his 25 years since he burst on to the Russian political scene.
16:1125 years ago, Putin began his journey to save Russia and to restore Russia to greatness.
16:25And he has definitely accomplished that.
16:28And they have a documentary coming out where he has been interviewed by his favorite journalist, Zarubin.
16:37And we're getting some segments of that interview.
16:41And Putin said some things in the interview, what we've seen on the interwebs, which confirm a lot of what we believe happened with regards to Project Ukraine and the West, going all the way back to the 2014 Maidan coup and the Minsk agreements.
17:03And let me tell you three of the things that Putin said, which I think are pretty, pretty interesting, confirm a lot of our reporting and a lot of everything that that we know when it comes to the history of all of this.
17:20Putin said that that the West was was trying to provoke Russia in the three years of the special military operation.
17:30They were constantly trying to provoke Russia.
17:32He means the the long range missile strikes, the attack comes the terrorist attacks, all of these things.
17:38They wanted to provoke Russia into making a mistake and Russia would not be provoked.
17:46They wanted to to try and provoke Russia when it came to to nuclear weapons, perhaps using some sort of a tactical move or something like that.
17:54And Putin said that Russia did not take take the bait on that one.
17:58He actually said that Russia does not need to use a nuke.
18:02He said that Russia can can conclude the conflict and conclude the the objectives of the SMO without having to resort to any types of of weapons like like nuclear weapons.
18:15And then he also said that the collective West.
18:18They they've been wanting to break up Russia from the moment that that he entered the Kremlin.
18:26Their plan was to weaken Russia and to eventually break up Russia into four or five different countries.
18:38West wanted Russia to make mistakes and nuke Ukraine, according to Putin.
18:43There has been no need to use nuclear weapons in the Ukraine conflict.
18:48The Russian president said, adding, I hope it won't be necessary.
18:52Putin stated that Russia has enough forces and means to bring what was started in 2022 to a logical conclusion with a favorable outcome.
19:07Russia standing alone against the West.
19:10The West has been long seeking to finish off Russia and partition it into several smaller countries.
19:18Vladimir Putin has said the civilized world decided that Russia.
19:23The civilized world. It's the civilized world, right?
19:27Anyways, this sorry, this this civilized world decided that Russia had weakened historical Russia called the Soviet Union had collapsed and the remaining parts needed to be finished off.
19:40The largest of them was the Russian Federation, and it also needed to be partitioned into four to five pieces.
19:47I was responsible for the future of the country.
19:50Of course, I began working to ensure that this never happened, he said.
19:54Interesting statements from the Russian president.
20:00I don't think these are statements that that surprise any of us, but it's just interesting to hear Putin say them.
20:10So the German publication Build, they put out an article saying that peace is a nightmare for Putin.
20:20Peace is a nightmare for Putin.
20:22And according to this post from Nexta, Western analysts warn that ending the war could spell disaster for Putin.
20:31Russia is stuck. Military goals unmet.
20:35Economy reliant on defense industry and hundreds of thousands depend on the war economy without defense contracts.
20:42Russia risks recession, but the Kremlin, but the Kremlin's biggest fear.
20:47The heroes of the war, thousands of brutalized armed men returning to impoverished regions with no prospects.
20:54Experts warn of rising violence and crime across Russia.
20:59Are you talking about Russia Build, Build, Nexta, German publication Build?
21:06Are you talking about Russia or maybe just maybe you're talking about the European Union and what's going to happen when this conflict ends?
21:15And you're going to have a lot of angry, very well armed Banderites pouring into into Germany, into Poland, into Romania.
21:28I think that's what they're they're really saying in this this publication.
21:34Sounds like a lot of projection.
21:37The Russian economy impoverished in tatters.
21:43In tatters, I tell you, tatters, tatters.
21:46Ah, yeah.
21:48Risks recession.
21:50Russia risks recession.
21:51Really?
21:524.5% growth recession?
21:54Peace, man.
21:56Putin is scared of peace.
21:58Once peace happens, the tatters starts.
22:02Starts.
22:03That's Ursula's.
22:04You see, that's been Ursula's angle all along.
22:07She's been she's been playing 28 D chess.
22:12She wants eventually for Putin to agree to peace.
22:16And then then that's when the tatters will come out.
22:21Oh, boy.
22:22A lot of projection from build.
22:25That's exactly what's going to happen in the European Union.
22:28Well, the EU is already in recession.
22:30The economies are already a complete mess.
22:33When the war ends, it's going to be it's going to be crazy, man.
22:38You're going to have a lot of weapons, a lot of weapons on the black market, a lot of well-armed
22:43bandarites.
22:45And where are they going to go?
22:48They're going to go to Europe, to the EU.
22:53So let's do an update on the the Houthis.
23:00They launched a missile into Israel, which hit the Ben Gurion airport.
23:08From what I understand, the Houthis have launched in the last week 27 ballistic missiles.
23:13And one of the missiles got through the other missiles were were knocked down.
23:20But one of the missiles got through and it hit a field.
23:24It hit the airport.
23:25So it definitely hit the airport.
23:26It was close to the airport, but it hit it hit a field on the property of the airport.
23:33There were injuries from what I read.
23:36And and Israel has now said that they will retaliate.
23:43And I think that's going to be if Israel does retaliate against the Houthis.
23:48I believe this will be Israel's first strike into Yemen, if that is indeed what what they do.
23:56The U.S. has been has been hitting Yemen.
24:00They've been launching missiles into Yemen.
24:02But Israel has not gone on its own yet to to strike at Yemen.
24:09It's been the United States that's been striking at Yemen.
24:12Yemen, the Houthis, they came out with a statement.
24:16And let me read you from Al Arabiya.
24:21Yemen's Houthis militants say they would impose a comprehensive serial blockade on Israel by repeatedly targeting its airports in response to Israel expanding its operations in Gaza.
24:33So.
24:34So.
24:35So the Houthis message is that because Israel, they announced that they are going to to expand the military operations in Gaza.
24:44And the Houthis response to that is that they will try to impose an air blockade on Israel.
24:56So definitely an escalation happening there.
25:02There.
25:03We got the reports.
25:04I believe this is from the Washington Post.
25:08They reported that Mike Waltz was either the Washington Post or the New York Times that Mike Waltz was actually not fired by by Trump.
25:18He was exiled to the U.N. by Trump because what Mike Waltz was doing is that he was communicating with Israel and coordinating with Israel a way to get the U.S. into some sort of a conflict with Iran.
25:37And one of the ways they were going to get the U.S. into a conflict with Iran was to escalate with Yemen.
25:43And through escalation with Yemen, eventually you were going to get the pivot, which was going to be that in order to to to defeat Yemen in order to deal with Yemen.
25:56What you really have to do is you have to go after the country that's that is sponsoring Yemen, that is providing Yemen with with the weapons and the missiles.
26:06And that's Iran. And that was going to be the angle that that they were playing, that Mike Waltz was coordinating with Israel.
26:13And that was what they were presenting to Trump.
26:15So they were going to use Yemen, the strikes on Yemen in order to escalate into a hot war with Iran.
26:23And Mike Waltz was coordinating all of this. And according to The Washington Post, that's why he was exiled to the the U.N.
26:32He wasn't fired. He was exiled to the U.N., which actually speaks a lot to to Trump's fear of actually taking on the neocons.
26:41He was not going to fire Waltz because he doesn't want to fire a neocon.
26:48So what he ended up doing is he just ended up placing Waltz in the United Nations, a position which was previously held by another neocon, Nikki Haley.
26:58So Trump is definitely he's definitely trying to to prevent some sort of of a hot war with Iran for the moment.
27:10But he's he's not ready to take on the neocons, which means that if you ask me, it means that eventually Trump will fold to the neocons and eventually he will.
27:26He will he will end up in some sort of a conflict with Iran, the fact that he would not fire Waltz because of what he was doing.
27:35And he just sent them to the U.N. means that eventually Trump is going to to end up in some sort of a conflict with Iran.
27:43So anyway, that was the update from the Washington Post.
27:50And.
27:52Trump was giving an interview to NBC.
27:56And he said that he doesn't want war with Iran.
27:59He says, I am trying to avoid a war with Iran.
28:04That's what he told Kristen Welker, I believe is her name, Kristen Welker.
28:09And he said that what he wants from Iran is total disarmament.
28:15No nuclear weapons.
28:16Actually, he said he wants Iran to have no nuclear anything, which I think is a very big ask.
28:21No nuclear weapons, no nuclear energy, no nuclear anything.
28:28That was what Trump said in this interview.
28:32Trump pushes for total dismantlement of Iran's nuclear program.
28:36The U.S. president indicated that he wouldn't allow exceptions for power generation, total dismantlement.
28:42Yes, that is all I would accept.
28:44Trump said he questioned the necessity of the Islamic Republic having nuclear technology for electricity generation.
28:50They have so much oil.
28:52Why do they need it?
28:53Civilian nuclear energy often leads to military wars and we don't want them to have a nuclear weapon.
28:59It's a very simple deal, he said.
29:01I just don't want them to have a nuclear weapon because the world will be destroyed.
29:06Trump added.
29:09I mean, his logic is flawed.
29:10Nuclear energy does not need does not lead to to a nuclear war.
29:15Obviously, obviously, that is not the case.
29:18So it's a big ask.
29:21He's not going to get it.
29:22There's no way that Iran would agree to this.
29:24But Iran has said that they do not want a nuclear weapon.
29:29They do not want to be pushed into having to to get a nuclear weapon.
29:33The United States does not want Iran to get a nuclear weapon.
29:35Russia does not want Iran to get a nuclear weapon.
29:37Saudi Arabia does not want Iran to get a nuclear weapon.
29:39Everybody in the region, all the powers do not want Iran to get a nuclear weapon.
29:44And Russia has said that they will gladly mediate and make sure that that Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon.
29:54And and what Trump needs to do is he needs to get Russia on side if he is serious about avoiding a war with Iran.
30:06Russia is the key in all of this.
30:09But you're not going to prevent Iran from from nuclear energy for.
30:16For power generation.
30:21That's that's not going to happen.
30:24That's a ridiculous ask.
30:27Anyway, that is the interview with NBC News.
30:33What else did Trump say?
30:36Oh, he said about Project Ukraine.
30:39He told NBC News that the European leaders, the EU leaders were begging him to call up Putin because the European leaders, they told Trump that when they were trying to call up Putin,
30:52Putin would not answer the phone if you believe that, you know, the leaders of the European Union have asked me so many times to call Putin because he does not answer their calls.
31:09I don't know about that.
31:11I don't know about that.
31:12I don't think the European leaders tried to call Putin because the Kremlin would would pick up the phone.
31:20I don't know if Putin would pick up the phone, but the the administration, the Putin administration would at least pick up the phone if it was Schultz or Macron or or one of these people.
31:35They would pick up the phone and talk to them.
31:37Putin, I don't know.
31:39I think Putin has better things to do than talk to to the leaders of these vassal states.
31:44But they said, according to Trump, please call up Putin because he doesn't talk to us.
31:50He's not picking up the phone.
31:52That's what he said to NBC News.
31:56So speaking of mediation, Lavrov, he offered to mediate between India and Pakistan.
32:03So he talked to to the Pakistan foreign minister and he offered to mediate if if they want.
32:11He said Russia is here and we can try to.
32:15To mediate between you and India and try to prevent a conflict, we are getting reports that the water flow.
32:26From India to Pakistan is.
32:29Is being stopped.
32:32India said to have cut water flow to Pakistan after a deadly terrorist attack.
32:37Last month, New Delhi suspended the Indus waters treaty that ensured water sharing between the two rivals.
32:44We're getting reports that some dams have have now stopped the the flow of water from the Indus treaty towards Pakistan and Pakistan has said that if the water stops flowing,
33:01then this is going to be considered an act of war.
33:10So we'll see if Russia can can play a part in mediating between India and Pakistan.
33:19Maybe Kaya Kalas.
33:21Maybe she will mediate between India and Pakistan.
33:26And she did say that she talked to to the Indian foreign minister and the Pakistan foreign minister.
33:33And she told them to to sit down and negotiate and avoid escalation.
33:39Kaya Kalas.
33:41Who would you rather have mediating Lavrov or Kaya Kalas?
33:48Let's do some clown worlds.
33:50And we can wrap this video up.
33:57So the clown world number one on this Monday.
34:01Yesterday was May the 4th.
34:07May the 4th.
34:09May the 4th be with you.
34:11That was yesterday.
34:12And so the White House, they posted an image and AI generated image of a very buff.
34:24US President Trump holding a red lightsaber.
34:31Yeah.
34:32Yeah.
34:33You had the AI image of Trump as the Pope.
34:38Now you have Jedi Trump.
34:40Completely ripped, ripped Jedi Trump.
34:46But the problem, the problem that everyone has noticed is, that was a pretty scary underpass, is that he has a red lightsaber.
35:01And everyone knows that follow Star Wars, they know that the red lightsaber is the color of the Sith.
35:11So they got the color wrong when they created this AI image.
35:18Trump posted on Truth Social, two posts on Truth Social.
35:24One post was about Alcatraz.
35:26And he said that he wants Alcatraz to become a federal prison again, which is, I don't think that's going to happen.
35:35I believe Gavin Newsom has already said that is not going to happen.
35:39Alcatraz is a huge tourist attraction.
35:41It was a prison.
35:42It was shut down in 1963 as a prison.
35:46And it is now a tourist attraction.
35:49The Rock, right?
35:50Sean Connery, Nicolas Cage, The Rock.
35:54Yeah.
35:55So Trump is saying we need to turn it into a prison.
35:58Newsom and all kinds of California officials.
36:02They said, no way.
36:04This is a huge tourist attraction.
36:07Not going to happen.
36:09But that was the one post from Trump.
36:13And then he posted about Hollywood.
36:15Maybe there's some connection here.
36:16As he mentions Alcatraz, maybe there is some Sean Connery, The Rock.
36:21Alcatraz, Hollywood Connection, because he posted on Truth Social about Hollywood.
36:27And he said that any films that are made outside of the United States will face 100% tariff.
36:38That's what he posted.
36:40The movie industry in America is dying a very fast death.
36:45Other countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States.
36:52Hollywood and many other areas within the USA are being devastated.
36:56This is a concerted effort by other nations and therefore a national security threat.
37:01It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda.
37:06Therefore, I am authorizing the Department of Commerce and the United States Trade Representative to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% tariff on any and all movies coming into our country that are produced in foreign lands.
37:23We want movies made in America again.
37:25Well, he is right about the incentives that are offered to production studios, to filmmakers in various countries and actually in states as well.
37:40In the United States, you have certain states that offer incentives and tax breaks and all kinds of things if movies are filmed in their state.
37:51So that does exist.
37:54It exists inside the United States as the states compete for the big Hollywood bucks.
38:00And it happens outside of the United States as well.
38:04So he's not wrong about that.
38:07But 100% tariff?
38:14I don't know.
38:17There are certain productions.
38:18There are certain productions.
38:19I imagine there are a lot of productions that can happen in the United States.
38:28Very easily happen in the United States.
38:29They don't have to go outside of the United States.
38:31But there are certain films and certain productions that do need to happen outside of the United States.
38:42They're thinking Mission Impossible, which was filmed in Prague, right?
38:46I mean, the script, everything was saying Prague.
38:49This is where you have to be.
38:51So in order to make the film as real and authentic as possible, of course, you're going to film in Prague.
39:01So what happens?
39:02Does that movie get 100% tariff?
39:08Anyway, that's the latest messages from Trump.
39:16And finally, how are we doing on time?
39:18All right.
39:19I can do one more.
39:20I can do one more.
39:21We're doing okay on time.
39:23Remember the AI video that the CIA put out in Mandarin Chinese in order to recruit spies in China to work for the CIA?
39:34And they created two videos and posted the videos on social media.
39:38Well, predictably, what happened is that China, some people in China, they did the same video.
39:47They created an AI-generated video, which pokes fun at the CIA video.
39:56And it's pretty well done.
40:00Video AI is getting really good.
40:03Getting really good.
40:04And boy, did they really, really spoof the CIA video really well.
40:11And they poke a lot of fun at the US and at the CIA's attempt to recruit spies inside of China.
40:19So I just thought I would mention that as well as an update.
40:22That's the video, everybody.
40:24This is not an AI-generated video, even though some people in the comments every now and then they say that I'm not really walking anywhere.
40:33And all of this, all of this is AI, not AI.
40:39You see, not AI.
40:42I don't want to hit the poor tree to prove that this is not AI.
40:46I'm sorry, Mr. Tree.
40:48I didn't mean to punch you.
40:49Anyway, that's the video, theduran.locals.com.
40:52We are on Rumble Odyssey, BitChute, Telegram, Rockfin, and X.
40:56Go to the Duran shop, pick up some merch like what I'm wearing in this video update.
41:01There's a link in the description box down below.
41:04Take care.
