Foreign Mr. Colleen Georgescu, thank you for having me here today. I know we have a lot to talk about. You're one of the most talked about political things right now in Europe, and I understand the importance of it and the timeliness of it. So I just appreciate you meeting me here today.
Colleen Georgescu
Thank you, Sean. Thank you for having me.
Sean
My. It's my quick introduction. You are the center.
Advertiser
You are at the center of one.
Sean
Of the most talked about political events in Europe right now. You ran as an independent nationalist candidate who unexpectedly stirred up a political storm in Romania. The first round of voting. You won with 23% of the vote. On December 4, the US expressed concerns over Russian involvement in cyber activities influencing this election. On December 6, the Romanian Constitutional Court annulled the results due to allegations of the Russian interference with zero evidence. You are known to be a man of the people and you are a believer in Jesus Christ, from what I understand. And so before I start, I found a verse that I thought was very fitting for what you're going through, what the US Is going through, and what the world is going through. Right now. It's Ephesians 6:12. For we are not fighting against flesh and blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in heavenly places.
Colleen Georgescu
Thank you. I appreciate it. Just one mention that independent, yes, but depended by the Romanian people. I am for the working class. I am for the working families. I am for the to foster the domestic economy and to don't depends about others. But looks that it is wrong for the oligarch system, which by the way, in order to start, I am to be very clear, I am not politically correct person and I am against or I am anti oligarch system. I am anti woke. I am anti lgbt. And let's be very clear, we are with God and we are for our land. And this have to be for all the countries around the world, not only for Romania. If it's a signal for Romania, it's great. But in any case, we have to be free man, free people. As the God blessing us from the early beginning. But looks at the oligarch system, which already they lost. They didn't know yet or they know that they don't want to realize that this happened. What has happened? I think they know we dance. I am telling you, Sean, I think they know we are dancing now.
Sean
You know, I've seen a lot of similarities from what I've gathered with this election that's happening in Romania right now. Also with the 2020 election in the United States and the election that we just went through. And so I know you have a limited time and you're a busy man. And so I want to start with what are the allegations against you?
Colleen Georgescu
You know what lies, Rush? Truth waits always. Because we cannot do a changement if we are not say the truth. The truth is the most important part of our life. And all this stuff are related to his interviewer from Russia, which doesn't exist. I have no any relationship myself. And besides, there are zero proofs in general what they are talking about.
Sean
How do they think Russia interfered? What are they saying?
Colleen Georgescu
They are saying that they're interviewed, but they don't explain how important is. They don't even the. The former president Johannes had an interview in December and the journalist asked him exactly as you asked me. No. And he said, we have no proofs, we have just. We suspect, we have a suspicion.
Sean
So there was a very broad statement.
Colleen Georgescu
Yeah.
Sean
No specifics.
Colleen Georgescu
No, specifically. Even, you know, in the. In the Bucharest court, where we have. I mean, they. They have no evidence.
Sean
Did this stem from the Biden administration?
Colleen Georgescu
Yeah. I mean, what I want to say is from the beginning that the second round of elections was illegally and unconstitutionally canceled. They stolen the vote of the people. New elections, or they are talking now, are fraud even bigger, right? And the Romanian people are aware that was a coup d'etat order from abroad and implemented by Romanian oligarchs. Because I want to underline the most important sentence of our conversation today. They are alert about the word peace because they need war. And from early beginning, now and forever, I am the person for peace. I am the president of peace. And all my campaign was for peace. And I said, we don't need war, we need just peace. And when they asked me different, let's say legacy media, we sometime they prefer the lies instead of truth. I said, yes, I shall stop in the first second. Any contribution from Romania for this war.
Sean
Who are some of these oligarchs in Romania? What do they do?
Colleen Georgescu
You know, the system is everywhere. The system is in civil servants. It's in a. Is a system. They are in a network made by Soros from early beginning of 90.
Sean
From Soros.
Colleen Georgescu
George Soros?
Sean
Yeah, George Soros that just got the.
Colleen Georgescu
Which is the same situation as he made everywhere and was a civil society destroyed totally from 1990. And I wish to be very clear that in the first minute, when I shall be official president, the Soros network in Romania will be banned. Banned because did a lot of damage for our country and for our people. A lot, a lot significant. And it's not only for Romania. And by the way, this situation which they made now, they said a dangerous situation, you know, a dangerous precedent not only for Romania, for the whole world, and most special for United States, because I. I know and I was trained and I received the. The massive, the massive constructive education in United States. I remember very well in 1992, when I was first time United States. I remember with, okay, the idea of environment, which is my background, but I learned about the idea, the strong idea of Thomas Jefferson, of Lincoln, of Washington. What does mean the democracy. What is democracy today? They installed the dictatorship with this situation. And again they set a dangerous situation, a dangerous precedent for what will happen next in United States, because they don't understand Washington, particularly today, or a new administration, that this could be a wave very dangerous for all of us. It's not only for Romania. Our dialogue today is not only for Romania. Honestly speaking, you are here because you are aware, as we changed some words before our interview, that the situation is terribly dangerous everywhere, and particularly exactly in the country where we are looking, all of us, for the big changement, for the freedom, for the real democracy. I mean, after so many years, we arrive in the point that they impose the dictatorship. And this is very dangerous because again, it's a precedent for all of us, for the whole world right now. Yes, a lot of people, including Romania, they are looking for January 20th, but I don't know if we shall arrive to January 20th and all of us will be happy on that. The only thing which I can guarantee today to you is what's happened in Romania is one very important step. The people are together, we are one. And this is very important because the people, they realize what is going on and they realize the situation and they realize that the system was exposed, his corruption. This is extremely important for us. Of course, this is not justice, not only Romania. Justice doesn't exist in any country.
Sean
When is the last time that Romania had a present that wasn't under the influence of oligarchs in the deep state? Has there ever been.
Colleen Georgescu
This was started already in 1990. So 1989 was coup d'etat together with a revolutionary act from the people. The true believers at the time, okay, but in fact was a coup d'etat. And Soros network, particularly they. They stolen the country immediately. And we arrive today with zero capacity in order to produce our domestic economy. And in general, the people are some. Is another country, another Romanian country is abroad, which is of course, it's is very dangerous and it's not good for us. So it's one country outside, one country inside and it's not. They are not. They don't left for good. They left Romania because they need decent work and they need a dignity.
Sean
You know, when it comes to the allegations against the Russian influence and the the election process right now, I just want to ask you man to man, have you had any contact with Vladimir Putin?
Colleen Georgescu
No, zero. Absolutely zero.
Sean
Is anybody in your campaign that you're aware of?
Colleen Georgescu
Nobody important is particularly myself. I have no relationship, no contacts, no communication. Just. I know like you from the tv this is all. But in any case important is that nobody ask official then I mean in a sense those guys which they accuse us I'm speaking about the Romanian side. They didn't ask the Russian embassy or official, let's say conversation with with them what is going on here? No and zero evidence. So my side from my side, as I said, it's a zero contract from their side, no evidence. So everything which is going on today in the whole world is because is Russian influence seems to be the commonality.
Sean
So.
Colleen Georgescu
Exactly. It's like meat.
Sean
They did the same thing against President Trump and that wound up being being a hoax.

Colleen Georgescu
Exactly. So don't forget that in the allegation from Trump before, it's absolutely equal with what I receive. It's just they changed Trump with Georges but in fact they are the same.
Sean
When it comes to the, the Russian Ukraine war. Do you lean towards the Russian side? Do you have a stance on that? What would you like the outcome to be?
Colleen Georgescu
So first of all, you can not put weapons before dialogue doesn't exist dialogue. And it's just, you know, the war has his invisible side because behind the war is head of Snake, which is a financial banking system. They need, as I said to you before, they are alert of the word peace because they need war. Because war doesn't mean a lot of influence and money. And in general the objective are the natural resources. We have problems, a lot of problems as country, not only from now, from the history. Why? Because we are rich, very rich country. Is Afghanistan bearish country Is Ukraine Extremely rich countries Russia. There are a few countries very, very, very, very rich. Look, Africa. Why Africa is like this? Because it's very rich. In fact, as continent of course is very rich. But all the countries are very rich in Africa.
Sean
I know that there is a lot of Russian and Chinese influence in South.
Colleen Georgescu
Africa but I know because of those.
Sean
Because of those resources.
Colleen Georgescu
Those resources. Exactly. But the sign is that they give to them the chance to be free as before the colonial gym. You know what they, they, they did the, the slavery is very, very present today is not abolished.
Sean
So when it comes, I just want to read, I want to ask my question. Are you pro Russia in the Ukraine war, yes or no?
Colleen Georgescu
I am pro Romanian. You're pro Romanian. I don't care what is going on there you just. It's not my business how you can have a war in the middle of Europe. Just think about that. It's a crazy time. I mean, it's incredible. I mean I was trained for diplomacy, for dialogue. We have all the capacity in a dialogue to discuss about this. Nobody is about this. I understood what I had a number that United States and together with Europe till now they invest more than 300 millions in this world. Could be wrong, could be right, I don't know. But anyway looks that is most probably that. So how you can lose this money in the moment when you have more than more then 25% of the whole world is under the level of poverty which I smell below $2 per day. Okay. Have you been sometime in Africa?
Sean
I have been to Africa.
Colleen Georgescu
I have many times, eight years. And I know the situation there. They invest in both sides and they fight. What does mean this for this third millennium where we arrive as people, as human being, besides our national countries and our nationalism and our freedom, the most important is we are very, very close to lose the humanity from us. And this is my way with my people. Again, I'm not pro Samoa, I'm not pro American, I'm not pro Chinese, I'm not pro Russia, I'm not pro Ukraine. I'm just pro Romanian, but I'm pro humanity. This is most important part of my, my, my campaign and my my way.
Sean
Would it be fair to say you're just totally indifferent to the Russia Ukraine situation? Your only concern is you don't want Romania involved.
Colleen Georgescu
Could be more specific.
Sean
You just don't want Romania involved in the Russia Ukraine conflict.
Colleen Georgescu
Yes. Yes. I don't want to involve my country there. It's not our war. We have to take care about our land. Only about our land, about our welfare, about our families. I wish and I definitely I have to be a president who take care about the children, to take care about the families and to take care about the peace inside. The peace for the whole world come from our peace, from us, from inside us. It comes from here.

But what is what the legacy media is doing is exactly what is not truth. And this is the main important point. I mean who has a first power in the world? I'm telling you, legacy media and this is a very, very dangerous situation because if you are speaking or if you are writing because someone behind you pay you exactly as Trump said, follow the wardrobe.
Sean
You know, I think that the, the world is on the precipice of a media revolution and legacy media every day is losing more and more credibility.
Colleen Georgescu
Legacy media, yes.
Sean
The, the, the media landscape is, is being revolutionized by podcasts like this.
Colleen Georgescu
Indeed, indeed. And moreover it's the people they have to recognize what's. What's happened in Romania because Romania made act of that of dignity, of honor which not exists too Much spread in the world today. So the Romanian people, they are looking for the dignity of human being. They are looking for the dignity of our country to be. To weigh the respect. You have to respect first yourself, you know, and it's not secure for any person today in the world, because it's not a code of morality, doesn't exist. And for this reason, I said, what has happened now in Romania? And there's no reaction from abroad, in special, from United States. They don't understand what is going on here, because if they use Romania as a door for war, what would be next? So, first of all, they killed the democracy, they installed. The dictatorship will be a precedent, as I said, for the whole world and special for United States, because all the people, they are looking for the changement which President Trump will arrive soon. How can do that if it's not reaction exactly. To the main important door for the democracy and of the situation, which is today? I mean, again, this was happening the last year in December 6th, when they canceled, as I said, the second round of election, and they definitely installed the dictatorship in Romania. So today, it's quite more than one month. No reaction. I can understand the situation. Official to be recognized, to be official. But even that you can have reaction. No reaction. And this is also, I said, for the Romanian people, it's important because we expose the corruption of the system with this situation and we expose the corruption everywhere. Because I said, the Romanian people, I said in the early beginning, is aware of the fact that was a coup d'etat. Exactly. As I said, order from abroad and implemented by the Romanian oligarchs. European Union is totally for this war. We are not. It's not our war. It's not our problem. Again, we are looking just for peace. I don't want to see one man, one young man to be involved in this situation.
Sean
I think a lot of people agree with you on that.
Colleen Georgescu
Exactly.
Sean
I want to move to your campaign. It's my understanding that, that your campaign did not require a lot of money, a lot of capital. You don't trust the legacy media and you took to social media. What we saw in 2020 during the Trump Biden election is Mark Zuckerberg completely deplatformed President Trump. He wasn't allowed to use any social media platforms. Jack Dorsey kicked him off of Twitter. I believe even Google also deplatformed them. Are you experiencing any deplatforming or censorship on any of your social media campaigns?
Colleen Georgescu
Sean? First of all, the social media was used by all the politicians. Correct. Everywhere. I mean, it's not. Not myself first, but in our specific case our campaign use zero budget because this was my wish in order to foster and to foster the Romanian people for the future and for our real democracy and freedom. This was my decision. No budget for that. So the narrative changed the situation. My narrative, not the social media. Social media was just a network in order to rolling to roll the narrative, the ideas. Yes indeed. But this was made by thousand people. I was not involved on that. I made this just with a few people was just a few team, a small team and we spread this and I said do what you want.

If the people they invest their self is not my business. I don't know nothing. Nothing, Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I don't know who made and why they made. So is no any influence of that again, zero. We are here and we trust in our land. We trust in God and this is all which we need. So the problem is Sean is you can see also your question which is normal to give to me is that the people they don't realize they could be another form this campaign because simply they remain in their track and they don't believe there could be other solution, other alternative. Why could be why you have to remain. Because we are not free for this reason. We are not free in our mind to think that can be not an alternative. We. We can think different.
Sean
How have they. How have they shut you down? It's my understanding you won. You won the first round with 23% of the vote. Am I correct on that?
Colleen Georgescu
This is correct. After of course they. They stolen a lot. This probably was more than 30, but.
Sean
It was more than 30.
Colleen Georgescu
Yeah, yeah, because we know from. From our calculation. But in any case was 23rd as you said and I want to mention it in the beginning, they put me on the. On the screen with less than 1% until the end of the day. Wow. Yeah. So for this reason, I mean all the calculation for them, they were wrong. Totally wrong or manipulate.
Sean
What means do you think they'll go to. To try to stop you? I mean we talked about how they deplatformed Trump in 2020 this election. We saw two assassination attempts. We've seen false allegations with. With all kinds of things in Georgia and New York. And so what. What. What are you expecting to deal with? Is this election kind of resurfaces from what I understand that'll they're gonna. Is it may they'll redo the election for.
Colleen Georgescu
In this. This year. Yes, yes, yes. They yesterday they promote that exactly as I said. The new election. New elections are fraud even bigger than what they made already because we discuss about the second round cancer illegally and unconstitutionally. How did they do that simply like that by. By order. Are you. Because Romanian Constitutional Court is something which they made from early beginning in order to help them help the system, the oligarch system in any situation. Which doesn't mean what they did is finish if they said our dialogue today Kalino is shown he's wrong. They cancel.
Sean
Is Romania in the midst of a coup right now? Indeed, that's what's happening.
Colleen Georgescu
In no shame in front of all the old worlds. And the problem, Sean, is no reaction. This is just the reaction from our people, of course, from the Romanian people, also from abroad. This is absolutely clear. Everyone in Europe, you have seen also in Canada, and not only also United States, I'm speaking about Romanian people, but no official position. So in other words, what is going on here? We accept the dictatorship does mean that even in the United States, they accept this. So maybe tomorrow we can see in front of us that it happens the same dictatorship in Washington. I don't know. So this precedent is very, very dangerous because nobody act. I ask you how the former president, which is still totally legal in the position today, how he can have an international meeting or position because he's illegal. The government is illegal. Everything is illegal. After the December 6, the last year, nobody said anything.
Sean
How much of this, how much of this coup has to do with the, the NATO base that they're building in Romania right now? From my understanding, this will be the biggest, the biggest NATO base ever to be built in Europe, 1.5 times bigger than Ramstein Air Base.
Colleen Georgescu
I understood also this.
Sean
10,000 troops.
Colleen Georgescu
I understood. I understood. Which, by the way, they are not Romanians, you know, so probably they, they had the plan before, and the Romanian people, they changed their plan and for this reason, they put a constitutional court to stop and to cancel the second round because again, I was, and I am, and I shall be forever for peace. Why we have to have war? Why you have to. We don't need war. This is my point.
Sean
What will the implications of Romania be if the NATO basis goes to completion?
Colleen Georgescu
Will be a way for a dangerous situation of democracy. United States, it's an important point.
Sean
I would think it would be a major. There will be major implications for Romania, too, if Russia decides to strike that base.
Colleen Georgescu
It's true, but also for United States, because from United States, we are looking for the democracy it actually disappoints, which I said to you, and here we are exactly, exactly on this point, that the situation and the whole system of democracy is affected everywhere. Today look what's happening in Canada. It's a wave of changement. And the real people, as President Trump, they don't realize what is going on here. What is happening in Canada, what is happening in Austria, what is happening in France, you know very well in Germany, by the way, in Europe. Okay, I can understand that each country has his own Problem and not easy to manage, especially the debt. Correct? The debt, the loans related. Before we discuss United States. About 35 trillions debt, which is not easy to be managed, I can understand, even for us. But still it's a problem of human being. Communication is a human being, you know, part of this life related to his God. If in the notes of $1 is we trust in God is real or not? This is my question for Washington. We trust in God, we trust in Romania for sure. Otherwise we. We cannot arrive here. We don't arrive here without that. God made us to arrive here in this point. And for sure we are. We are. We shall continue this way of dignity. But have faith, Sean. And exactly here we are today. You have or you don't have faith. This is the main important point of our dialogue today. And this is my message. You trust or not in God, because here is a spirit, it's a spiritual level. This is absolutely clear. And it's not just a matter of, let's say, economic situation, which I can understand, but it's not. It's nothing more than that. We are here in a historical situation for a big shift after 2000 years of, let's say, of no real democracy, especially in the last 100 years. Romanian people, we don't play games. We are very, very straight for our dignity and for our honor. And we are totally convinced and committed to continue for the dignity of us, of human being beside anything else. Otherwise, that means that what you are doing in this world, why you arrive here? It's a question why we are here? For what purpose? What is our way? Why are life special in this time? No. 100 years ago or 500 years ago.
Sean
The world is definitely a day major decision point.
Colleen Georgescu
Yeah, but we have to recognize the consciousness. We have to conduct us.
Sean
Could you be a little bit more specific as to the consequences to the United States if the NATO base does go to completion?
Colleen Georgescu
Very good question. NATO, based on its own constitution, is a defensive organization. Correct. Everybody is knowing that. Perfect. For this reason, we we as people, even for European Union, even for NATO, we are totally agree and we like to be like that. It's fine. Again, it's fine. But in the moment when you change the constitution and you want to be offensive organization, they change the game. In the middle of the game, change the rules. And here we cannot accept this point. Because if they change the rule and NATO becomes an offensive organization, does mean that is not any more NATO, Correct?
Sean
Correct. That's where I thought.
Colleen Georgescu
This is a huge influence for United States special Today, with the war in Ukraine.

Because Zelinski Zelinsky won the PR war, but Putin won the real war. This is a difference. And the legacy media, they are talking about other things which is not the truth for the United States. In early beginning to you lies, Rush. The truth waits.
Sean
So this NATO base, just to be clear, the biggest NATO base ever to be built in Europe is going to be constructive to conduct a major offensive into Russia.
Colleen Georgescu
Exactly. This is a word offensive, which is wrong way. And we cannot accept this simply that because it's not our business, it's not our war. Again, we have no how I can say it's not evidence. There doesn't exist evidence on that. Why we have to be involved on that. Have not reason to do that. And again, you cannot change the rules during the game.
Sean
If you do win the presidency. Here we reconstruct the Romanian government. How much we have to. How much of the government is corrupt?
Colleen Georgescu
All.
Sean
All of it.
Colleen Georgescu
All of them.
Sean
How will you reconstruct?
Colleen Georgescu
That is very simple. Very simple. You don't have to do something specific for that. But for sure, in the moment when the productive property is spread everywhere, that means you spread the power to each citizen. You got my point? Because each of them will be free. He has the capacity to produce profit with his own hands. And the states help him. Because the private property is a key element. And here I am exactly as Thomas Jefferson made. I don't invade the wheel, I'm telling you, I'm just. I learn from our predecessors, as Thomas Jefferson was for me. It's a absolute ideal one. And here we discuss about how we can spread the productive property, how we can spread the power to the people in order to produce goods and valued edit. And we don't sell just the natural resources like that. We sell valued edit. You don't sell the timber, you sell the the chair or you sell the understand the furniture.
Sean
You sell the products based on the resources.
Colleen Georgescu
So this does mean that in the moment when you empower your people to produce and to foster the domestic economy, the country immediately they clean the corruption because the corruption now dictates what dictate. Dictate the process. And in the moment when they dictate this, the big fish eat the small fish and it's finished. I mean the. The domestic product, the domestic people, they don't have any word to say. The farmers in Romania there are under the dictatorship of the oligarch system. So just. And this was my plan, my program. Food, water and energy, exactly as Kennedy spoke in the United States. Even, even Trump Kennedy was very specific. We. We have to change agriculture, we have to give real food to our. To our children because we are sick as nation. Except this is happening. But my program was more or less a more specific on that. Food, water and energy. We produce food, good quality of food, natural food, water, good quality energy. We have all the energy is necessary. Why you have to import energy. This is a very, very basic things which we have to do. So another words. We change the situation, change the economic situation. This is a big changement which we have to do. So we don't change the people, we change the system. You got my point?
Sean
I get your point. What kind of energy? How are you going to expand energy?
Colleen Georgescu
We have a lot of water, hydro. Hydro. So first of all, hydro is top. We have oil a lot, of course now not ours is to others too, always to others. But this is not the we. Every. Everything can be. Can be reshaping, can be changed. But we have hydro, we have oil, we have coal a lot. So we have everything. So we can be the main exporter of energy in the region. By the way, the main exporter of the region. We have gas, a lot of gas, including in the Black Sea. So we, as I said to you, our problem is our richestness. We have problems now because we are very, very rich. And this is a problem.
Sean
If you do become the president, will you have the power to stop the construction of the NATO base?
Colleen Georgescu
I have the power to install the peace. This is for sure. The people and in general the entire international world, they have to recognize the peace, not the war. We don't need war. It's absolutely crazy things which we are doing today in all the countries, speaking about any country, if you wish, whatever country you choose. In Europe, China, Russia, United States. Why you need this? No, I ask you why we need. If we can cooperate. We have just one planet which give to us everything, can cover all the needs which we are looking for, but for sure cannot cover one our greed. If we trust in God. Why we need work? I ask you, I ask you personally today, why if we said we trust in God. Correct?
Sean
Correct.
Colleen Georgescu
Correct. Even in a note of $1. No, we trust in God. Why you need work? Well, for what? Because we can cover all the needs.
Sean
You would have to take away greed.
Colleen Georgescu
This is a point. So the grid will be end in the moment when. Exactly as I said, on economic dimension, as a distributed system, as a sovereignty of the people. Because this I'm looking for in the moment when each of them has power. Each, not few of them. Each in the moment when the private property is strong and private productive property is strong, which does mean he has the tools, he has everything in order to each person to produce himself whatever he wants. Or to construct whatever he wants. You understand my point? Small amount of enterprise. This is the most important Romanian entrepreneurs to be strong. The country will be strong. If we discuss about oligarchs, they are strong, of course. They destroyed Romanian entrepreneurs because they they control the market. The market is not free. The market is control. Is a market controlled by the oligarch system. They control the price in the moment, then they control the price. They destroy the domestic product. So the market, the price of the market have to be free. Free. Free does mean free. No other things. So it's very easy. So for this intern, I said we don't need war if we have all the things which we need. Why you have to have work? Okay, we can understand what's happened 200 years ago, 300 years ago, 500 years ago. We can understand 1,000 years ago. Yeah, until the moment when all the states they arrive to the point and okay, we can understand the construction of the states. But right now, in the third millennium, what is the role I ask you of United nations in this world? In this sense? I left United nations for this reason. Because I know the reason why they built United Nations 1945 for one simply gold piece. We don't need any more war. This was the goal and was not anymore. Until today were more than more than 1,000 wars everywhere and conflicts. What is the role of the nation from 1945 until today? Tell me, what was his role? If the main important role peace was not accomplished, does it mean that me, you as citizen, which already we pay from Correct. From our budget to United nations via our countries? Because this is a rule. Each country is a contribution make a contribution to United Nations. You, me, everybody. How can reflect our contribution the peace zero. Because they installed the war everywhere. Where is United Nations? Tell me, in Ukraine today, or in relationship with Russia, why United nations is not in Moscow today or in Kiev to Discuss about this. Why. Why is not.
Sean
I think it's pretty clear. Because they don't want it.
Colleen Georgescu
Why Washington is not in front of that.
Sean
Because they want the war.
Colleen Georgescu
I told you from early beginning for this reason they canceled the second election with me and with Romanian people because I said peace, peace is the main purpose. So we have to be aware and through you and through other leaders like you, who you trust in God to reflect that we are in a very dangerous situation because we have no in Europe particularly Sean, we have no leaders. We have just power holders and puppets. I see Romania is today it's a puppet. Of course he's controlled by oligarch system. He's not a leader. Leaders are few, very few. And they trust in God and they take care about our people. I hope President Trump I very clear to be a leader. I hope to be a leader.
Sean
I think a lot of people hope that.
Colleen Georgescu
I hope to until the first day. In the first minute. Not first day.
Sean
Yeah. When the election resumes. We have to start from the first round again.
Colleen Georgescu
We. It's difficult to accept this. Almost impossible because new elections are fraud even bigger. We are looking for the second round and we are looking that before 20, I hope or after 20 in the first day. President Trump to. To give a wise, wise signal to all world. But besides, we are Romanian people alone with God. So we continue our way like already. We start for our dignity. For sure that.
Sean
Well, Mr. Georgescu, I really appreciate you being here and I can tell you're a great human that cares a lot about your people. And I just want to tell you.
Colleen Georgescu
What I wish you best. I very much appreciate the dialogues.
Sean
Thank you. Thank you, thank you.

Shawn Ryan Show – Episode #158 Summary: Călin Georgescu Discusses Romania's Political Turmoil and NATO's Role
Host: Shawn Ryan
Guest: Călin Georgescu
Release Date: January 13, 2025
Episode Title: Călin Georgescu - Does Romania's Coup Reveal NATO's Desperation to Push WW3?
In Episode #158 of the Shawn Ryan Show, host Shawn Ryan interviews Călin Georgescu, an independent nationalist candidate who has become a central figure in Romania's tumultuous political landscape. The episode delves into the controversial annulment of Georgescu's election victory, allegations of Russian interference, the influence of oligarchs, and the implications of a massive NATO base being constructed in Romania.
[00:31] Călin Georgescu defines himself as an independent, anti-oligarch, and pro-Romanian candidate. He emphasizes his commitment to the working class, fostering the domestic economy, and maintaining Romania's sovereignty. Georgescu is clear about his opposition to what he terms the "oligarch system," being "anti-woke," and "anti-LGBT," while asserting his alignment with God and the land.
Călin Georgescu ([00:25]): "I am for the working class. I am for the working families. I am for fostering the domestic economy and not depending on others... We are with God and we are for our land."
The conversation addresses the U.S. allegations that Russia influenced the Romanian election through cyber activities. Georgescu vehemently denies any Russian involvement, highlighting the lack of concrete evidence presented by authorities.
Călin Georgescu ([03:41]): "All this stuff are related to interference from Russia, which doesn't exist. I have no relationship myself... there are zero proofs in general what they are talking about."
He criticizes the Romanian Constitutional Court's decision to annul the election results without substantial evidence, suggesting political motivations behind the move.
Georgescu attributes Romania's current political instability to the entrenched oligarch system, tracing its roots back to post-1990 influences, particularly those linked to George Soros. He accuses oligarchs of manipulating the political landscape to maintain control, undermining true democratic processes.
Călin Georgescu ([07:39]): "George Soros... destroyed civil society totally from 1990. The Soros network in Romania will be banned because they did a lot of damage to our country and our people."
He underscores the need to dismantle this system to restore genuine democracy and economic independence.
When questioned about the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, Georgescu expresses a strong preference for peace, positioning himself as a president of peace. He opposes Romania's involvement in the war, emphasizing that the conflict is not Romania's business and criticizing the broader implications of militarization.
Călin Georgescu ([17:46]): "I am pro-Romanian... I don't want Romania involved there. We have to take care of our land, our welfare, our families."
He warns that continued involvement in such conflicts could set dangerous precedents globally, particularly affecting the United States.
Georgescu is highly critical of traditional media outlets, accusing them of disseminating false information and lying to the public. He argues that legacy media supports oligarchic interests and undermines truth, posing a significant threat to democracy.
Călin Georgescu ([25:52]): "Legacy media is exactly what is not truth... they lie while speaking or writing because someone behind you pays them."
He praises the rise of alternative media platforms, such as podcasts, for their role in uncovering the truth and holding power accountable.
Highlighting his campaign's grassroots nature, Georgescu explains that his movement relied on minimal funding and leveraged social media to spread his message. Unlike high-budget political campaigns, his approach was driven by a small, dedicated team committed to fostering genuine change without the influence of major financial backers.
Călin Georgescu ([31:14]): "Our campaign used zero budget because this was my wish to foster the Romanian people for our real democracy and freedom."
He notes that despite not experiencing significant censorship or deplatforming, his campaign still faced media manipulation and misrepresentation.
Georgescu outlines a comprehensive plan to rebuild Romania by eliminating corruption, empowering citizens, and focusing on self-sufficiency. His vision includes:
Călin Georgescu ([53:16]): "We empower our people to produce and foster the domestic economy, which immediately cleans the corruption because corruption dictates the process."
A significant portion of the discussion centers on the planned construction of a massive NATO base in Romania, purportedly the largest in Europe. Georgescu opposes this development, fearing it could escalate tensions with Russia and drag Romania into broader conflicts.
Călin Georgescu ([40:37]): "We are for peace. Why do we need war? We don't need war. This is my point."
He warns that transforming NATO into an offensive organization by altering its constitution could threaten global peace and set a dangerous precedent, particularly for the United States.
Throughout the episode, Călin Georgescu presents himself as a principled leader committed to restoring Romania's sovereignty, eliminating corruption, and promoting peace. His critique of oligarchic influence, legacy media, and militarization underscores a broader concern for global stability and genuine democratic governance. Georgescu's vision emphasizes empowering individuals, fostering economic independence, and maintaining a steadfast commitment to peace.
Călin Georgescu ([58:53]): "We trust in God. Why do we need work? Because we can cover all the needs."
The interview concludes with Georgescu expressing hope for leadership that prioritizes dignity, honor, and humanity over geopolitical ambitions and financial interests.
