Summary

Max Blumenthal and Ben Norton start off with an exclusive, bombshell intercepted recording we were leaked of Russian President Vladimir Putin's phone calls.

Then we speak with journalist Bryan MacDonald, who lives in Russia, about the very suspicious alleged poisoning of opposition candidate Alexei Navalny, and what his real, xenophobic politics are.

We also discuss the NATO/EU attempt to orchestrate a so-called color revolution in Belarus and install a pro-Western neoliberal regime.

0:00.0	This is moderate rebels. I'm Ben Norton, joined by my co-host, Max Blumenthal. And before we begin
0:09.3	this episode, we got a great jam-packed episode. But actually, we obtained, we were leaked a
0:15.3	really sensitive recording that was actually obtained between Vladimir Putin and the GRU,

1:37.3	I don't think we've ever uncovered anything like this, but as I said, I've been
1:41.1	cultivating these sources, and we should just go ahead and play
1:45.3	the recording right now for our listeners. And, you know, I think this is going to really make
1:51.1	waves in mainstream U.S. media by the time this hits the digital newsstands, as it were.
