0:00 thank you [Music] so uh while we were away from JK crazy ████ started happening in Russia oh yeah you were texting us about it yeah dude I'm not a group it's Friday like two weeks ago basically and all of a sudden it starts exploding all over Twitter that Russia is going through a coup like a military style cuisine nuts it's all crazy which means that Putin you know the idea is that Putin was going to be replaced by this group called The Wagoner group or the Wagner is what everyone say but they are like a a mercenary group of like 25 000 soldiers that's Putin hired to help um beat Ukraine and then they were turning on Putin and marching all the
0:50 way towards Moscow because they said that the Russian military um bombed their bases betrayed them killed some of their soldiers and on top of that they said that the Russian military was very incompetent and then they got their soldiers killed for following their orders so that's why they said time for Revenge ████ ass they think and and there's also part of that too is you know there's some who believe that Russian military leadership is being too ████ about Ukraine they want them to just go in and ████ level the place win the war damn yeah so they took over like a southern base that was like the control center for the Ukraine war and then they took over that and then they were marching on their way to Moscow and then somehow it stopped just completely and they were taking over these regions with no fighting no fighting but then there's a couple helicopters that got down I think yeah a couple helicopters cut down whose side
1:40 on Russia's side I've seen some of those videos it looks ████ scary as ████ to see something flying and then just drop straight down to helicopters with no fatalities no no they were fatalities on the on the Russian side they were I'm talking about the air the the in the air there were fatalities yeah but there was no resistance marching through yeah like they were just driving and there's even some Russian military that flipped on the Wagner side too and then um and all of a sudden on the way to Moscow like 15 miles away they stopped and then they broke a deal with a Belarus whoa yeah so the uh the president of Belarus basically said hey we'll give you safe harbor over here you guys can chill over here and then Putin said hey I you know the guy um pragosian who's in charge of their forces he's allowed to flee to Belarus and Putin's says it's all good but what
2:31 does that mean I mean and then uh yeah well the Belarus dude was like we'll give you a base that you can you know bring whoever wants to follow so 25 000 mercenaries are going to go to Belarus not everyone but then the Putin also gave them like um amnesty or just basically was like if you want to um join the Russian military like we'll welcome you and then um the base that he allowed Wagner to move to is like super close to Keith and that's the thing so which so people are saying is this a move by Putin to flush out people who weren't loyalists perhaps test his own forces see who's going to be a down ass ████ and who's not oh ████ who flipped right that is very you know where the convincing part is of that because I just thought that
3:21 was like oh what a funny like Theory right but then the backing behind it is purgojin the the leader of the Wagner group um Putin made them they and they're like decades old friends interesting same with the Belarusian president and they've been homies for years for many many years so it's like why all of a sudden now I was flagging it for some other reason that was maybe the reason right we don't know but the main reason is a loyalty test of your own forces do you think that's what is most likely in your opinion dude I don't ████ know honestly because I don't understand Russian politics at all seems like a really expensive loyalty test yeah exactly and why would Putin want to make himself look like ████ to the world Community like now that doesn't that's not a Putin move no now China is going to see them as weaker because like hey
4:12 dude you just got almost waffle stomped and then all of a sudden they just decided to turn back at the to go to Belarus yeah because when I first heard of that I was like okay so that bricks thing is not gonna happen anymore right you know because it's like Russia makes up a big part of it so if like the ████ thread starts pulling out then what other country oh ████ rushes out their ████ together what it needs China ████ Us in like India whatever it's all make this work but if this guy's not then I don't want to and then it just goes back you know interesting so I'm like there's gonna be huge repercussions from this thing like do you think the Iranians view Putin is stronger now like I don't think so yeah that doesn't seem like a that is crazy that a mercenary group which is like private can be almost as strong as an actual country boy if but the the idea is that maybe Russian forces are so exhausted by the war yeah
5:02 that and a lot of moms in Russia right who have dead um children maybe there's a lot of sentiment in Russia that's anti-war now yeah and so those guys were able to walk into territories because I saw videos of Russian citizens giving the Wagner group guys like bottled water and food wow so so that's like our like if our black water was able to like like actually move on our military that's pretty that's crazy how many members are there for Blackwater I don't know I think they they actually dispersed like or they changed the name of the company I don't think they're I think they're called Pelican now or something yeah but they just changed her name Academy and they're called now oh I got it but there's a bunch of them they're not the only ones there's like a bunch of um a bunch of mercenary groups in in America twenty to thirty thousand whoa
5:53 black water guns wow that's like Wagner group then ████ crazy oh damn and so most of these people are made up of like ex military most are ex-military yeah they just want to keep like what's the motivation for someone from the U.S military to want to be immersed so they like what they do yeah like they like being an operator like being in the field they like having cool tactical ████ um but maybe they don't um want to keep doing the missions of the country and they'd rather be a person for hire and they get paid way more they get paid way more they get to have a weapon of choice you pretty much you get to do all the fun ████ that you used to do but take away all the hard ████ so now you have like because aren't they just mainly protecting the assets of like offshore like businesses oil-based or whatever the companies are contracted to be secure
6:44 that could be so like let's say like KFC is going to build ████ uh locations in Iraq as they move the base forward and then like let's say the the main KFC guy's gonna go over there he'll be protected by two protected by six mercenary black quarter guys and the recipe they got the recipe in a briefcase with a handcuff and a briefcase are there ever any missions where like military will have to team up with black water or like private military yeah sometimes side by side yeah if they don't have enough resources they'll team up they have to how's the sentiment between them it's pretty cool they're buds a lot of them are like from what they say the way Merc yeah yeah so they're like yeah they're Brothers they're Brothers ah I'll let you just do this like we were both seals now you just do the private stuff I do this uh
7:34 because I was even reading how like those guys um even from European and those countries all join them too oh so it's like an international like yeah because it's a private company and they probably need people and then they'll get other languages French legionnaires and stuff yeah yeah they have different connections from other countries it makes sense but apparently a lot of their philosophies change about country loyalty after they go to war and they go oh everyone's doing the same thing like everyone just has special ops in different countries it's no good guy no bad guy everyone's just it's a war game dude that's that's the crazy thing of that I found out about um like when we were on tour we had a security guy um and he was uh he was marine and then he did private and then whenever we went to different countries he had a guy always meet him at the airport and he
8:25 would give him a gun yeah that's cool nuts that's crazy that's how the movies bro yeah I know he was like yeah this is very normal though like you just kind of keep just have your own contact yeah yeah or a locker filled guns and he gives it a key passports wow that's so cool inventory and they got a computer guy who's just hacking in the Mainframe yeah he said because he said he's he's uh he's the American he lives in Vegas actually but then he said he's the American for another guy that'll come like he'll give him a gun like it's like a ████ thing it's a cool thing one of these things yeah that's dope right they do it for each other all the time oh wow what kind of gun is it does he say I have no I don't know I wouldn't know a ████ gun from a swords
9:17 [Laughter] freaking Samsung remote for all I know for some scale right the um what's kind of wild about what just happened Russia has like a million soldiers right one point one five million is the estimated amount world's fifth largest military force these 25 000 dudes just marched all the way up to Moscow and they were scared of them exactly these guys are probably all like former special ops so they're like way more highly trained like usually it's like the higher level guys that do the mercenary stuff wow and Putin eight hours prior to the deal getting it giving a statement saying these guys are Traders we're gonna ████ you up we're gonna ████ you up hard and then eight hours later he's like it's all chill yeah uh it's all good do you think we'll ever know the real freaking dialogue between that yeah not for 20 years or something because that might be misinformation too about like oh he
10:09 planned it this way because he might have been like oh ████ they can see how vulnerable we were but then he can get out that news be like no we planned it and then he's like guys we gotta get our act together you guys are really mad at us it's crazy that one of the world's superpowers almost had a coup that's ████ crazy it was crazy too to see oh all the hardcore right Wingers like um the the um the guys who were basically like at all times like Putin needs to go whatever like Lindsey Graham's and all those guys like the guys were like no matter what Putin has to go and we're gonna get Putin by exhausting him by doing this war and then they're like basically popping champagne bottles early on Twitter and ████ being like it's Putin's last day let's get Putin's final days in office and all this ████ and then those guys all got wrecked like within hours
10:59 it's like global politics like in the the way that people started dunking on other people shifted immediately the other direction it was so anti-climactic though I thought there was going to be like at least a resistance fight or something any article of it no it literally says in the Wikipedia article like uh you know Wikipedia always makes you put dates and times when things happened and stopped so instead of saying like uh coup began coup ended it just says reason for stopping everyone went home so good that's so funny and they literally did yeah wow and some of the wider guys just went home some of the Wagner guys went to Belarus I don't know how any that gets parsed out yeah me me that's scary you know it blows my mind though like in the world that we live in and the life we have here it's hard enough to keep uh to stay in the middle of all of your friends political
11:50 beliefs without losing them right yeah imagine if you're a ████ politician and you have to stay in the middle of these guys oh man like it could mean death close your house you have to you have to like play nice with everybody ████ that dude I know or even like people that are on opposite sides publicly but they're actually besties in real life yeah but then on-screen debates ████ hate them they hate me and then other photos surface like they've been friends for two decades they're like what the ████ I love seeing Obama with like George W like playing golf I'm always like yeah exactly dude and then everybody's on the Epstein list anyway they're all friends what if that's the reason they're hiding it it's because they're gonna see that everyone's homies It's gotta be the reason because everyone's on the list even celebrities and people like dude
12:41 that's I think that's the real con is like they think the saddest thing to me is like whether you're Republican or Democrat you really believe that those people are trying to help you that's that's very sad I don't think that at all what do you think I think I think uh I think they're there to help us cynics we're jaded yeah you guys are jaded you guys but you guys don't have faith in the ████ political system anymore right in the system oh no I I believe I believe all politicians I believe all government all structures I think the only group that was really trying to help is triple A oh honestly yeah you call them they come in 30 minutes they fix your little tire if they were a political party I trust them because they're way more efficient than the DMV yeah maybe why who I don't trust
13:33 Salvation Army so why not why not I just think they're I think they're Liars too I think they're allegedly yeah I don't have any proof but this is just a gut I agree because they're not even an army yeah exactly this is how I do all my political things just where's the bets at when I go there exactly they're just shaking myself trying to take my money I see a bunch of old grandmas yeah [Music] thank you
