Simeon Boykov explains his current situation living under diplomatic asylum at the Russian consulate in Sydney. After leading rallies against COVID-19 mandates, he was jailed for breaching a suppression order. To avoid further arrest, he defected to the consulate and was granted Russian citizenship by presidential decree from Vladimir Putin in October 2023.

Aussie Cossack reveals he has been living inside the Russian consulate in Sydney for 467 days to avoid prosecution by the Australian government. He explains his legal troubles began with his leadership in anti-lockdown protests and mentions receiving a Russian passport via presidential decree. Jones expresses surprise at the guest's living situation and pledges to feature his story more prominently.

The interview continues with a discussion of the resignation of New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian amid corruption allegations. Boykov describes a "vaccine cult" in Australia that harbors hostility toward the unvaccinated. He expresses gratitude for international protests at Australian consulates in New York, London, and Poland, which he credits with pressuring authorities for his release.
