[00:05:08] Good evening, my name is Vadim Takmenev, live on central
[00:05:11] television. The first informative show about events that
[00:05:15] are discussed and people who are talked about. In
[00:05:18] most cities where we are currently watched, the exact time is
[00:05:22] 19:00. Well, in the next hour, we will, of course,
[00:05:25] as always, have something to
[00:05:27] tell you.
[00:05:30] The American Congress opens a portal to hell. From what
[00:05:33] hell did they pull out the hellish sanctions and why in reality this is not
[00:05:37] a blow to Russia, but a new trap for Trump.
[00:05:41] Betrayal or? How did Washington abandon its
[00:05:44] ally in the desert,
[00:05:47] neural networks against humanity, why artificial
[00:05:51] intelligence developers want to declare war on their
[00:05:53] creation. Protein conspiracy, who and why
[00:05:57] put the world on protein, and how protein propaganda can
[00:06:00] leave you without kidneys?
[00:06:03] The main prize is prison, how the police organized a lottery for criminals,
[00:06:07] who hit the jackpot?
[00:06:10] Style, faith and digital detox. Why the new
[00:06:13] generation chooses church merchandise, trips to elders on
[00:06:16] Valaam, what is monasticism and how the walls of ancient
[00:06:19] monasteries became the main refuge for zoomers from burnout and
[00:06:22] depression. And also a special guest of the program
[00:06:26] Stas Pieha, who this week experienced a deep personal
[00:06:29] loss.
[00:06:39] Well, let's start, as usual, with the main thing. While
[00:06:42] Trump's special envoys fly between Moscow and Kyiv, and the Kremlin
[00:06:46] allows for a trilateral meeting as early as October,
[00:06:49] the American Congress makes a move that can nullify
[00:06:53] all this with a single stroke of the pen. The House
[00:06:56] of Representatives has been discussing for the past few days a bill
[00:06:59] that unofficially received the name "hellish
[00:07:02] sanctions" in the press. The document, which had been waiting for its turn for more than a year, was
[00:07:06] named so at the suggestion of the late Senator Lindsey
[00:07:09] Graham. That is, the draft sanctions had been on the shelf for so long
[00:07:13] that it even outlived its creator. So why did they
[00:07:16] decide to open this portal to hell right now?
[00:07:19] And here begins the most interesting thing: if you look
[00:07:23] at the situation from a logical point of view, then there is simply no
[00:07:26] point for Trump to impose hellish sanctions. He himself constantly
[00:07:29] talks about rising energy prices, and the imposition
[00:07:32] of new sanctions will certainly not lead to their reduction. In addition,
[00:07:36] escalating tensions with Moscow on the eve of new
[00:07:39] negotiations is also far from the best idea. This is what the
[00:07:43] Kremlin is saying as well. Dmitry Peskov has already called
[00:07:46] the document an unfriendly action that will complicate
[00:07:50] peace efforts. So, what is it really, a portal
[00:07:54] to hell for the Russian economy or a clever trap
[00:07:58] in which Trump himself will find himself locked between
[00:08:00] Congress, allies and his own
[00:08:03] promises? Tatyana Proskurikova investigated who
[00:08:06] pushed through the hellish sanctions right now
[00:08:10] and what it means for the negotiations,
[00:08:13] which, it seems, even yesterday gave
[00:08:15] hope.
[00:08:20] The late Senator Lindsey Graham, perhaps, turned in his grave at
[00:08:24] this news, the bill on hellish sanctions, for which he desperately
[00:08:27] fought for more than a year, was finally adopted by Congress. America's
[00:08:31] rivals, not only Russia, but also Iran and China, will
[00:08:35] suffer thanks to this law. Hellish sanctions
[00:08:38] are, first of all, duties of up to 500% on goods from Russia
[00:08:41] and up to... 100% on goods from the largest buyer countries of our
[00:08:45] energy resources.
[00:08:48] China and India, we are telling you, buy oil and gas somewhere
[00:08:51] else. China did not delay its response. We
[00:08:55] consider unacceptable interference in the trade and economic
[00:08:59] cooperation of China with other countries.
[00:09:02] This will cause very little damage to Russia. The law is
[00:09:06] mainly aimed at secondary sanctions, that is, at China and
[00:09:09] India. And I think that we will see damage first of all. to
[00:09:13] ourselves, to the US and Europe. Energy
[00:09:16] prices will rise even more, which is absolutely not what
[00:09:19] Republicans need before elections.
[00:09:22] The American Congress has given the green light to hellish sanctions, which, according to
[00:09:26] the authors' plan, should burn the Russian
[00:09:29] economy to ashes.
[00:09:32] But in Washington, it seems, they poorly studied chemistry, instead of hellfire
[00:09:35] they plan to ignite the so-called cold fire.
[00:09:39] It burns beautifully, looks ominous on the screen, but... it burns
[00:09:43] nothing.
[00:09:45] Here's the new package of restrictions. There's a lot of flames and special effects,
[00:09:49] but the real damage to the Russian economy is about as much as from
[00:09:52] this trick. Washington is burning again, but this time in
[00:09:56] vain. It seems even
[00:10:00] Boris Johnson agrees with this. Economic sanctions are very important, they
[00:10:03] demonstrate political determination, but by themselves
[00:10:07] they will not stop a country like Russia, where everything is based on
[00:10:10] patriotic mobilization. Deputies
[00:10:33] of the Bundestag, military advisers to the German Chancellor, all
[00:10:36] of them almost lost their lives in a drone attack on
[00:10:39] a VIP train, if, of course, Western media
[00:10:42] are to be believed. The former prime minister was returning from
[00:10:46] Kyiv when at 5 am his guards woke him up and told him to prepare for
[00:10:50] evacuation. Excuse me for correcting your brilliant
[00:10:53] report, but no. We were not woken up, we were simply transferred to another track. I
[00:10:57] didn't know anything about it until I started receiving messages when I returned to
[00:11:01] Great Britain. So, talkative Boris Johnson destroyed
[00:11:05] the heroic legend that Kyiv diligently composed.
[00:11:09] The threat to the VIP train was about the same as to
[00:11:12] Zelensky's plane last week.
[00:11:16] My presidential plane was, so they
[00:11:19] used Moldovan airspace. Perhaps they did not want
[00:11:23] to attack me personally, but they wanted to.
[00:12:25] thought for Ukraine, because in order to become a full
[00:12:28] member of the European Union, Kyiv needs to achieve the impossible:
[00:12:32] defeat corruption.
[00:12:35] Ukraine has entered a new round of political crisis, this time the prosecutor
[00:12:38] general has fled, after issuing a suspicion against the head of NABU,
[00:12:41] Krivonos. NABU is the National Anti-Corruption
[00:12:45] Bureau of Ukraine, an independent body created at the request of Western
[00:12:49] sponsors. NABU investigators found that an entire empire
[00:12:53] of fraudulent call centers was covered up.
[00:13:25] he threw Ukraine under the bus, issuing a business trip to Paris for himself.
[00:13:28] The day after tomorrow we will see him in Vienna,
[00:13:32] where he will ask for political asylum
[00:13:35] and receive it, he will say, look, here they are persecuting
[00:13:38] villains, scoundrels, such a viper,
[00:13:42] Kravchenko could have remained in history as only the fourth consecutive
[00:13:45] Prosecutor General to flee abroad, but no, the chief
[00:13:49] delivered a retaliatory blow, the so-called operation, the so-called
[00:13:53] operation was directed. only against me, its
[00:13:56] real goal was to gain access to materials of criminal
[00:14:00] proceedings against the heads and employees of NABU
[00:14:03] SAB. Based on the collected evidence, I signed
[00:14:07] a suspicion against the director of NABU Semyon
[00:14:09] Krivonos. The director of the anti-corruption
[00:14:13] bureau is accused of receiving a bribe in a particularly large
[00:14:16] amount, and he also fictitiously adopted
[00:14:19] a child.
[00:14:34] With the help of fake paternity, Krivonos fell under amnesty and did not
[00:14:38] serve a sentence for bribing voters during the elections to
[00:14:42] the Verkhovna Rada. Do you know this woman? Do you
[00:14:45] know this woman? I am not going to comment on
[00:14:47] falsified nonsense. However, Krivonos had to comment on both cases,
[00:14:51] and during the interview.
[00:15:25] he followed all his commands, as if, I think, Zelensky did not
[00:15:29] know that he was covering up the call center, of course he knew, but
[00:15:32] when a situation arose that he became toxic, he removed him,
[00:15:36] while. he gave instructions,
[00:15:39] he issued a suspicion against anti-corruption
[00:15:43] bodies, because of this he let him leave
[00:15:47] the country. It was the investigation that formed the basis
[00:15:49] of a devastating New York Times article about fraud in arms
[00:15:52] procurement. In 2024 alone,
[00:15:56] Ukraine lost more than a billion dollars due to fraud and
[00:16:00] waste. The voices of Zelensky's former
[00:16:03] associates are also growing louder in the Western media.
[00:16:07] The person who heads the country, almost every one of his partners,
[00:16:11] friends, comrades, people he appoints to positions, is involved in
[00:16:14] corruption, so I have a question, does the president know about this or not,
[00:16:18] against his former press secretary, the President
[00:16:21] of Ukraine imposed personal sanctions for an interview with Tucker
[00:16:24] Carlson, but Yulia Mendel continues to expose
[00:16:28] Zelensky, this week she stated that he refused
[00:16:31] five times to conclude a peace agreement, I
[00:16:34] think that... signed the bill, this is not
[00:17:07] an end, it is rather
[00:17:10] an ellipsis, because Trump's signature does not mean that
[00:17:14] sanctions immediately take effect automatically. At the same time,
[00:17:18] with the entry into force of the law, the American president gets a serious
[00:17:21] leverage over buyers of Russian
[00:17:25] oil. Will he want to use it and thus
[00:17:28] further raise energy
[00:17:31] prices? This question still remains
[00:17:35] open. In Moscow now...
[00:17:39] about other important news this Saturday right now
[00:17:42] Yulia Bekhtareva will tell. Yul, what's on the news wires?
[00:17:46] What's new? Vadim, well, today I'll start with a message from the Ministry of Defense.
[00:17:50] The Russian military struck logistical centers,
[00:17:53] Ukrainian ports, and transport infrastructure facilities. In
[00:17:57] the Kyiv region, a customs and logistics center was hit, which
[00:18:00] was used to store military cargo from Europe. In
[00:18:04] the Odesa region, the strike was aimed at a pontoon crossing over.
[00:18:08] Mister, it was needed for the transit of military cargo from
[00:18:11] Romania.
[00:18:13] Well, and of course, in Russia today is the second day of voting in the elections for deputies
[00:18:17] of the State Duma of the ninth convocation, and also for the heads of eight
[00:18:20] regions. In many of them, turnout significantly exceeded the national
[00:18:24] average. In the Donetsk People's Republic, it has already exceeded
[00:18:27] 80%. Today, Valentina Matvienko
[00:18:31] cast her vote. She came to a polling station
[00:18:35] in St. Petersburg. The Speaker of the Council of the Federation stated that all
[00:18:39] attempts by unfriendly countries to disrupt or discredit
[00:18:42] the elections in Russia are doomed to failure. But in some
[00:18:46] polling stations, the voting takes place with a special
[00:18:48] flair. For example, in the Krasnodar Territory, a real
[00:18:52] robot came to the polling station. Of course, it did not
[00:18:55] vote, but it still addressed the
[00:18:57] voters. Dear residents of the city
[00:19:01] of Krasnodar. I urge everyone to come to
[00:19:04] the elections. Unfortunately, since I am a robot, I don't have.
[00:19:11] Well, besides the robot, opinion leaders, celebrities, film
[00:19:15] and theater stars
[00:19:18] are calling on Russians to participate in the elections by their example.
[00:19:21] Well, we will continue to follow the news of this Saturday, well,
[00:19:25] and next up we have an unexpected turn of events in the Middle
[00:19:28] East, which, it seems, caught everyone off guard who
[00:19:32] considered this region their sandbox. The Yemeni
[00:19:35] Houthis, those very ones who.
[00:20:37] headquarters threats did what they always did when the situation
[00:20:41] got out of control, that is, they called Washington.
[00:20:45] Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, asked Donald Trump
[00:20:48] twice in one day to... strike the advancing Houthis from
[00:20:52] the air, he only had to snap his fingers
[00:20:56] to turn the columns of Houthis into dust and ashes,
[00:20:59] but Trump never did, and now not only
[00:21:02] Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, but all other allies
[00:21:06] of Washington are wondering, why? Anton
[00:21:09] Chichulinsky, along with politicians and military experts on both sides
[00:21:12] of the Atlantic, tried to understand what it actually was,
[00:21:15] betrayal of another ally who for decades
[00:21:18] bought American.
[00:21:21] already supplied oil to half the world, or even worse than betrayal, that is,
[00:21:25] ordinary stupidity, which will still come back to
[00:21:29] haunt Trump.
[00:21:36] This is more like an beating than an exchange of blows.
[00:21:40] Here the Houthis attack military
[00:21:41] bases.
[00:21:45] Here they strike oil
[00:21:47] facilities.
[00:21:51] Here they hit Saudi Arabian-owned
[00:21:53] excavators,
[00:21:58] either from some strategic intent understood only by
[00:22:01] the Houthis, or simply because they
[00:22:04] are annoying.
[00:22:09] We are reporting directly from the scene
[00:22:11] of events. This is a Houthi's own correspondent,
[00:22:14] armed with a curved Yemeni dagger, he shows
[00:22:18] the heroes of this offensive.
[00:22:21] Death to America, death to Israel, damnation to Jews,
[00:22:25] victory to Islam. Yet Saudi Arabia will try to
[00:22:28] accuse them of having nothing sacred, that
[00:22:32] they allegedly tried to attack the holy city of Mecca
[00:22:36] for all Muslims,
[00:22:37] with this drone.
[00:22:42] The Houthi command will declare a provocation and at the same time publish
[00:22:46] footage of a downed Saudi F-15 fighter jet.
[00:23:20] critics around the world are studying this rapid Houthi
[00:23:23] offensive and do not understand how it did not fail.
[00:23:27] Those who have been to Yemen know
[00:23:29] the peculiarities of the local
[00:23:31] landscape.
[00:23:34] Now those who have not been will understand why this is
[00:23:37] important. So, look, we are on
[00:23:41] the route along which the Houthis advanced. On
[00:23:44] one side - a completely flat desert, on
[00:23:47] the other - the sea. Let's move on.
[00:23:51] How does this section appear to you, as clear as
[00:23:53] day, or this one, where can you hide
[00:23:57] in case of shelling? Nowhere, here's
[00:24:00] a point on another route, it is further from the coast, but
[00:24:04] it is just as open to air
[00:24:06] strikes.
[00:24:11] The Houthis were here for several days, why were they not
[00:24:14] bombed? Indeed, these are the shots,
[00:24:18] the offensive resembles scenes.
[00:24:30] Saudi Arabia essentially has no army, you understand, it has
[00:24:33] a presidential guard, that is, many people whose professional
[00:24:36] level is approximately equivalent to the level of a security guard
[00:24:40] standing at the entrance to a nightclub. According to Riyadh's
[00:24:43] plan, the Houthis were supposed to be contained, of course, not these
[00:24:46] beauties, participants in amazing military parades.
[00:24:55] but Saudi proxies, several controlled groups in
[00:24:59] Yemen, however, at the moment of the offensive, the Houthis fool them
[00:25:02] with the help of artificial intelligence. The neural network
[00:25:05] falsifies the order of the Vice President of Yemen,
[00:25:08] to retreat. Brothers, you know, even the strongest
[00:25:11] suffer defeats in battle, all units
[00:25:15] should retreat to Moka, to then strike
[00:25:18] the enemy from there. And now the answer to the question: who teaches
[00:25:22] them to assemble their own self-guided missiles?
[00:25:25] Also not a neural network? Here one of the American
[00:25:28] IT giants writes about this in its report.
[00:25:32] With its help, they wrote software for assessing
[00:25:35] the situation, configured the parameters of the control system, launched
[00:25:39] the firmware assembly, and conducted flight simulation modeling.
[00:25:42] All this makes the Houthis a serious threat,
[00:25:46] even those who previously treated them with... admit it.
[00:26:03] Of course, Iran is very interested in the Houthi operation being
[00:26:06] successful. The Iranian idea is to force countries
[00:26:10] to use the Strait of Hormuz as the main route for oil
[00:26:14] exports.
[00:26:17] Where this week this supertanker is blown up by a mine?
[00:26:21] Donald Trump is caught in a lie again, because he said
[00:26:24] this. We took control of the Strait of Hormuz,
[00:26:27] we neutralized all mines. He is
[00:26:30] now accused of... Another strait on the other side
[00:26:34] of the Arabian Peninsula is becoming unsafe.
[00:26:37] The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia asked Trump to send
[00:26:41] American fighter jets into the air to stop
[00:26:44] the Houthi advance, but Trump did
[00:26:47] not. The Houthis called us and said they did not
[00:26:50] want to fight us. What is the reason for his
[00:26:53] inaction? One of the factors is limited arms
[00:26:57] supplies. We hear that as a result of efforts to
[00:27:00] replenish arms supplies for Ukraine. Probably
[00:27:26] many Houthis don't know where France is, but even
[00:27:29] it is already suffering from their actions. No one
[00:27:33] here can fail to see that gas station prices have reached
[00:27:36] historical highs, which causes serious
[00:27:40] difficulties for people. One might even think that this is
[00:27:43] Trump's plan, to change power in Europe through a fuel
[00:27:46] crisis, but the next elections will be in the USA, where
[00:27:50] he is understood less and less. Anton
