  1. Thanks for the kitty report. Based on the color of his fur, I think it's the other end of Artur Rehi's video of them digging the cat out , but that video ended before the cat was freed, so I'm happy to see him in loving arms.

  2. I know he was demonetized several months ago, but it was a youtube screwup that was prevalent among many channels at the time. Believe Jake had the same problem around then. I hope this latest is just another goofup on youtube's part. I don't see why youtube would demonetize him for being Russian. They're in it to make money after all.

  3. Very informative, Jake, even for this viewer who already follows US politics closely on multiple channels. Thank you.

  4. Last check before hitting the sack, and wow, aiming for half a million now. That would be 25 trucks!. And to think Jake originally was aiming for just 2 trucks. What a worldwide community effort. $422,651.57 / $500,000 6520 Donations

  5.  @neilpountney9414  Context. Pay attention to context. The question was about US leaders' attitudes.

  6. Some happy news -- Kamala Harris is LEADING by three points in "the most golden poll in America", J. Ann Selzer's Iowa poll. Selzer only polls Iowa, because that's her state, she knows it well, and her polling has been extremely accurate in 2016 and 2020 -- polling within 1 point of actual election results. For Harris to be even close in ultra-conservative Iowa would be great news; to be ahead by 3 points is astoundingly good news.

  7. From US, it's always interesting to hear from an Aussie. Your country has dealt successfully with some of the same big problems we're currently struggling with -- like dumping the Murdochs, and like shoring up your protections for democracy and dealing with corruption in government. I hear, btw, you have two former Prime Ministers of different parties who have agreed to mutually investigate the Murdoch empire. I just hope my country can turn it around in time.

  8.  @allymac18  No doubt true. A Canadian was grousing yesterday about Canada buying missiles from US instead of building up its own production lines. Limits how much Canada can contribute - can't just tell the factories to ramp up production, because the factories don't exist. I'm exaggerating, no doubt, but trying to picture the situation some countries are in that did not keep up their military readiness and then suddenly needed it.

  9. Those were comforting words, Jake ... "when this war is over and Ukraine joins NATO"

  10.  @franceyneireland1633  There's a lot of inspiration in that thought -- "how much damage a single determined individual could inflict on the Soviet Union." Good to remember when we think "I'm just one person, what can I do?"

  11. That's because Harris went in for the handshake right at the beginning. It was the equivalent of "SIT. STAY."

  12. thanks for the goat rescue! I've been wondering what's happening to all the farm animals if the farmers evacuate, and there's no one left to feed them - especially in winter with nothing growing.

  13. Absolutely. We could learn a thing or two from democracies such as the one in Germany -- although as I say that, I know they're having problems too.

  14. That "We Will Rock You" instrumental is fantastic! I hope it goes viral.

  15. This was a day-after-Christmas present, to see an extra Jake Broe video! Thank you. My understanding of the latest drone strike on the Russian airfield is that the 3 soldiers were killed by shrapnel from the drone fragments after Russia shot down the drone. Both reports mentioned that they only had Russia's report on that, no confirmation from Ukraine.

  16. One difference with McCarthy is that he openly supported Ukraine, whereas the new Speaker does not. I think with Mike Johnson it comes down to a literal translation of the Holy Bible. Johnson supports Israel, because Israelites were called the chosen generation, whereas Ukraine doesn't really come onto the radar screen in scriptural terms.

  17. Loved that last clip "we were always cool." And now we all know. ----- Appreciated the coverage on the ICC charge, Jake. As you usually do, you brought a perspective to it I had not heard on other channels. ----- Please don't ever show a clip of Large Marge Three-toes again. It's so embarassing.

  18.  @Muljinn  Fair point. Even neutral Switzerland has regular military drills.

  19. Thanks for the NAFO info. It should get more media attention. I only found out about it last week from a viewer comment.

  20.  @jimberry8417  One possibility floated months ago was that Russia could be declared an illegal UN member based on the fact that they slid into place as replacement for the Soviet Union. Russia as a lone Republic was never voted into the UN. Who's to say that Ukraine, just for one example, should not be the replacement USSR representative at the UN?

  21. Thank you, Jake. Hope you're enjoying your new digs, and that you're having a peaceful contented Christmas season. The dog bit at the end was great.

  22. Almost 8 NAFO trucks so far! ($155,712.02 ) Aiming for 10 now, huh? 🎂👍 What a great way to celebrate your birthday.

  23. Fantastic guest. Been thinking since shortly after Feb 24, that the only threat Ukraine posed to Russia was the success of its people, based on democratic principles. Russian citizens would eventually figure out that their neighbors look a whole lot happier than themselves.

  24. Thank you Jay. Both you and Artur Rehi want to see Ukraine pull back from Bakhmud. I wanted them to move out 2 weeks ago. It's just amazing how long they have held it. God bless Roman and all those soldiers.

  25. The subtitle of the Budapest Memorandum was/is "Security Assurance" The implications of that go way beyond just "allowing" Ukraine to remain sovereign. We promised Ukraine would be secure in future if they would give up their nuclear stash. Bill Clinton has since stated publicly that he regrets pushing Ukraine into that positiion.  @E3ECO

  26. Finally the Bradleys make an appearance. They were in Germany around Feb 6 and then no news.

  27. The Republican in my district (Doug Lamborn), and the Republican in the district next to it (Ken Buck), have both said they won't run for reelection. They're done with the MAGA circus in Congress. Buck is good honorable guy, and he's a loss. Lamborn not so much.

  28. Their chocolate sucks. So does Hershey. One of them bought Cadbury and ruined it also.

  29. Trump can lie about pulling out of NATO, 'till the cows come home, but he cannot do that. Congress is one step ahead of him. ..."the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024, enacted on December 22, 2023, prohibits the President from unilaterally withdrawing from NATO without approval of a two-third Senate super-majority or an act of Congress."

  30. Smart idea, Jake, to bring Reagan into the conversation. MAGA Republicans idolize Trump, but regular Republicans still revere Ronald Reagan.

  31. Thank you John Roberts, and thank you Jake for reading his letter. It is beautifully written. I promise to contact my representatives. One is a useless cowardly Republican (not all are, but he is), but I will do what I can to add my voice to others' voices.

  33.  @powergamerx425  oh was that her a few weeks back? I was referring to her excellent statement on Putin. Basically stop him now or spend the next decades dealing with russia's aggression.

  34. I'm in Colorado. Unaffiliated. I expect two ballots in March, one for each party. The only restriction will be that I only fill out one ballot. If I fill them both out, my vote will not be counted. So, yeah, voting in the Republican primary this year 😅😇

  35.  @creampuffwar4457  Scott Ritter is an a-hole. I listened to him one time, and that was one time too many.

  36. That is a wonderful comment. Thank you for writing it. I'd give you a hundred upvotes if I could.

  37. Mike Johnson "I lie most of the time. I know they're lies. People know I lie. I know people know I lie. And yet I lie. My master makes me do this. I have no will of my own. Please call me Moses."

  38. I've made too many comments already, but I just want to thank you, Jake, for the time you spend pulling together good info from many sources. Many Americans barely have the energy to find your channel, let alone all the channels you pull info from. It's a valuable service you're providing. I wish you and other pro-democracy sources could have your own TV channel, so tired Americans could just sit down in the evening, turn on the tube, and get solid information easily. We'd be a much better country if we were all making voting decisions with better info.

  39. Thank you for the Vidnova team clip. Brought tears to my eyes that they can express joy in the midst of ... all the stuff going on there. I'm grateful for the fundraiser so that we could play a part in bringing some rest to the heroes who will spend some time in the beauty of nature and the company of their fellows, and perhaps feel restored. I hope they will feel restored.

  40. Since the NY fraud judgement, I'm sure Trump wishes NATO allies would send their "payment" to his gofundme account. The Interest charges alone are nearly $800K per week.

  41. I've come to know the Ukrainian anthem as well as I know The Star Spangled Banner.💙 💛

  42. MTG called the gestapo the gazpacho, and she wasn't trying to be funny - she was on some rant about "the gazpacho police." Neither she nor Boebert can pronounce the word "indictment" correctly, and it's not like they haven't had plenty of opportunity to learn that word.

  43. Agree. HOW they can still be undecided is beyond me, but there are still people who say they need to know more about Harris. All I need to know is she's not Trump. The fact that she's intelligent, empathetic, and strong is just icing on the cake.

  44. Let GLSDB roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. I appreciate your encouraging videos at a time when other media are saying how slow things are in this "war of attrition." Thousands of undetectable cardboard drones from Australia, and thousands of GLSDBs from the US/Sweden/Boeing/Saab project. That's the ticket.

  45. Just for a lighter note, I think those dogs recognized that van and knew what was in it. 😋

  46. I wondered the same thing. Only reason I can see is that life has always been meager for the majority of their people, will always be meager given the track Putin has put them on, but at least they could once say they were a great world power as they ate their borscht.

  47. This American heard about the recent Polish election on both DW and MSNBC channels. It was as well covered as Slovakia if not more so. The Polish voters stayed strong for democracy, turned out in record numbers as I recall, and there were plenty of upvotes supporting them at the news.

  48. I disagree with Jakes take on punishing those who hire illegal immigrants. Some businesses, especially farming, are absolutely dependent on immigrant laborers, so they are going to hire them or they go bankrupt.

  49. He even says that all the time -- "can you believe these people believe this stuff?" They're so busy worshipping that they don't see him laughing at them.

  50. Seems like a year since you first told us about GLSDB and got us all excited about their capabilities and ease of use. Months and months and months.
