Is it me or does Archer come off likable? He does look very nervous though and I don’t think it’s Tucker. He’s probably thinking of Epstein death or Obamas chef.
Agreed. He comes off as intelligent, likable and appears to have been caught up in the chase for money, access and power. If he was the pitchman presenting the decks then he’s developed that “sales” skill set. Great interview with insight into the level of corruption in all governments. Loved the nuance in acknowledging how things work without directly saying it. In the end, he FAFO. By the way, Trump’s chef is still alive. 😂
The interesting thing in this conversation is seeing how a Yale/Ivy League degree opens doors to a world 99.9% of us aren't a part of and barely even understand. This is a world of "high net worth individuals" interacting with powerful politicans from around the globe, facilitated by greasy (but well connected) middlemen and international lawyers and bankers.
In his book, 'The Secret Team: The CIA and Its Allies in Control of the United States and the World', Col. L. Fletcher Prouty wrote this:

This is the age of global companies, of global communications and transport, of global food supply and finance and...just around the corner...global accommodation of political systems. In this sense, there are no home markets, no isolated markets and no markets outside the global network. It is time to face the fact that true national sovereignty no longer exists. We live in a world of big business, big lawyers, big bankers, even bigger moneymen and big politicians.
Yes that scene is brilliant. The thing I notice is the camera angle where we see Ned Beatty raving and gesticulating Hitler-like at the end of a perfectly paralell row of banker's lamps. It has echoes of Leni Riefenstahl's 'Triumph of the Will'.

"“How did Devon Archer get himself mixed up with a bunch of guys who pulled off a $60 million fraudulent Indian Tribe Bond Scam?

Ok, now we see some actual truth, unfiltered by media drones
Devon Archer is an adept and very clever and adaptable businessman. Hunter Biden was a crackhead spending his time with whores. Does anyone actually need to know anything more now?
Why isn’t Hunter Biden in prison today? And isn’t his corrupt father in prison as well?
Good interview. Tiniest of nitpicks, but I think Tucker should add like a 10 second intro before the interview starts. Because when I go to his page the interview starts right away and it starts off on mute for me, so i've gotta unmute and then I miss a bit. Probably a way to change those settings but meh, i'm lazy.
Brilliant! Archer lays it all out there as best he can given the constraints he has on him. They both seem to really be enjoying it too and like and respect each other. At a couple of points there towards the end, it seemed Archer was close to tears. I would be too if I were him. He seems like a basically normal guy who “got too close to the sun” as he says often.
Had a kabuki feel with all the smiles and laughing. Agree that he seems nervous underneath. There is more to this story methinks and I doubt it will ever come out. Thanks as always Sasha.
Poland, Lithuania, most of Belarus, and most of Ukraine were once the same country, or rather under the same government (which was dominated by Poland). So Poland coming in is not really as "out of the blue" as it may seem. The Poles still have dreams (or delusions) of using the current situation to somehow reconstitute a modern version of the polity that was their Glory Days.
In any event, I did say anything about "the Polish Empire". These days empires are pretty badly out of fashion, as you may have noticed. The nearest equivalent would be something like an Eastern European Union.
Something that has stuck with me. At the start of "The Looming Tower" An FBI agent starts his 1st day at the Bin Laden Station. He's reading about Bin Laden and Islamic "radicals". and he finds these people act as if The Reconquest of Spain Just Happened. Not 400 years ago. We Americans (for many reasons) have no sense of History. We act as if 50 years is a Long Time. Large parts of the world...disagree.
Addendum. The Looming Tower: Al Qaeda and the Road to 9/11 by Lawrence Wright is one of my FEW Must Reads. To many people act as f that war is over. It's Not.
As always, thank you for the Tucker emails.

Or Clinton chef. Really, how do you drown in New Mexico ffs?
Just curious what happened to Obama’s and Clinton’s chef’s?
They both were drowned for giving the presidents too much good lovin.
Seriously, drowned?
Yes, the chef for Clinton drowned, and Obama’s chef also drowned. They knew too much. https://nypost.com/2023/07/25/tafari-campbells-drowning-parallels-tragic-death-of-clinton-chef-walter-scheib/amp/
Horrible! Thanks for the info. 😔

It is worth noting that this book was first published back in the 1970s.
Also worth noting is the Paddy Chayefsky-written speech given by Ned Beatty in the movie 'Network' (also from the 70s).

Superbly elucidated!
That scene from “Network” chillingly nails all that ails us.
Yes that scene is brilliant. The thing I notice is the camera angle where we see Ned Beatty raving and gesticulating Hitler-like at the end of a perfectly paralell row of banker's lamps. It has echoes of Leni Riefenstahl's 'Triumph of the Will'.

Enquiring minds need to know.

Devon is greedy as hell trying to play innocent— Hunter is likable??? 🤮
Thank you Sasha!
Those two laughed a lot, didn't they?
Broadly speaking Devon Archer's relationship with Hunter Biden (and All That) reminds my of Sgt Schultz. "I See Nothing, I Know Nothing."
Just a poor naive guy who just fo some unknown reason, Fell Into This.
Agreed - conveniently slick

Apparently there’s more to the story.
Thanks, good to hear the human side of these players.
Amr Australia
Most interesting and thank you for posting these interviews.
End of the day, as he so aptly put it, Devon truly got too close to the sun, as did the son himself.
Poland, Lithuania, most of Belarus, and most of Ukraine were once the same country, or rather under the same government (which was dominated by Poland). So Poland coming in is not really as "out of the blue" as it may seem. The Poles still have dreams (or delusions) of using the current situation to somehow reconstitute a modern version of the polity that was their Glory Days.
The Polish Empire is about as likely as the Greek or Roman Empires coming back.
You may know that i may know that. The question is Do They know that?
Poles are really smart people and have been through Hell so yea they know it. :)
As a Pole myself I never met anyone or spoke to anybody about going back to Polish Empire.
Don't think it's a thing.
Then I was mis-informed.
In any event, I did say anything about "the Polish Empire". These days empires are pretty badly out of fashion, as you may have noticed. The nearest equivalent would be something like an Eastern European Union.
OOOHHHH! Someone who reads History!
You get an attaboy ATTABOY.
