We went 45 00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:24.120 to Moltmart and saw that went to this chapel up high, 46 00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:25.800 but you couldn't see the Eiffel Tower from there. 47 00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:28.080 But we did see it. We just didn't go like 48 00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:29.319 up into it. 49 00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:31.639 Good for you and you didn't go into up on 50 00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:35.000 the Eiffel Tower, which is a monumental waste of time 51 00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:43.120 the French. Did any Frenchman to say abaga khan on you? No? 52 00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:45.360 And In fact, on our train ride, we went on 53 00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:47.800 a high speed train from Paris to Bordeaux. One day 54 00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:51.719 we rode back with these two French guys. They sat 55 00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:53.560 next to U, so we talked the whole time. They 56 00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:58.800 were friendly and lovely and just like it was just 57 00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.759 such a cool surprise, and they were funny, and they 58 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:03.960 said that you know what they did. One guy said, 59 00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:06.800 he goes, there was one thing a Frenchman cannot say, 60 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.319 what's that? And he goes squirrels. They can't say squirrels. 61 00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:12.319 And so we laughed about it for the next hour, 62 00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:13.400 because did. 63 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:17.520 You mention to them that the French caved in after 64 00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:19.919 six weeks when the Nazis marched in. 65 00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:22.240 No or two? 66 00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:25.080 No, But we were there.

Handle on the news, Amy, 110 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:43.519 Neil and Me late story eaton Alexander, the last stone 111 00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:49.079 living American hostage in Gaza, released by Hamas yesterday, eighteen 112 00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:56.279 months in captivity. Israel was not involved in these negotiations. 113 00:05:56.600 --> 00:06:01.800 It was the United States and Hamas and US clearly 114 00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:07.279 trying to cowtow to Trump and the US because well, 115 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:12.160 hopefully for them that the US will have some kind 116 00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:17.199 of influence on Israel coming in and decimating what's left 117 00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:21.399 of Gaza, and we'll see what happens. I don't think 118 00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:25.600 much is going to happen in that regard. We'll talk 119 00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:28.720 more about that coming up a little bit later. 120 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.279 We'll do that over the next few weeks because this 121 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:32.040 is big news. 122 00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:34.399 As Israel says they're going in what they have gone 123 00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:38.720 in and they are going to occupy for the foreseeable future. 124 00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:44.680 Slashing prices with the swipe of a pen. President Trump 125 00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.759 assigned an executive order that promises to crack down on 126 00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:54.879 unreasonable or discriminate discriminatory practices by foreign countries that end 127 00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:58.920 with Americans paying a lot more for prescription drugs. He said, 128 00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:02.120 starting today, the US will no longer subsidize a healthcare 129 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:05.399 foreign countries, which is what we were doing. He said 130 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:10.839 that this order could lower prescription drug prices by as 131 00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:11.800 much as ninety percent. 132 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:14.360 Yeah, this one yesterday. 133 00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:18.000 I gave him such huge kudos for doing this, because 134 00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.879 it's not just Medicare. It's not just what the government 135 00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:26.759 purchases pharmaceutical drugs and the cost they pay, which when 136 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:31.600 it comes to Medicare, is totally socialized medicine. So it's 137 00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:36.600 the government that negotiates with big pharma. This also goes 138 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:39.920 beyond that and says big Karma has to sell to 139 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:44.360 everyone in the United States prices that are equivalent to 140 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:50.759 the lowest prices that any foreign country buys drugs from Pharma. 141 00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:52.800 Good thing, I tell you. 142 00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:53.319 I mean. 143 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:56.439 Biden tried to do that. 144 00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:58.720 Well, he did, but to a very small degree and 145 00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:00.959 this is good for Trump on this one. 146 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.439 This had to this was too long in waiting. Hey, 147 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:04.240 quick reminder. 148 00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:09.079 On Friday at eight thirty, we do a segment Ask 149 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:12.399 Handle Anything, And we started that a few months ago 150 00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:14.720 only because it's so much fun. And that came out 151 00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:17.759 of the fact that all of us are asked about. 152 00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:21.199 All of us know, what's Handle like, what's Neil like, 153 00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:25.439 what's co built like? And so I thought that we 154 00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:29.079 would just I'd answer questions of any kind. And it's 155 00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:32.360 fun because usually insanely humiliating, and I'm pretty. 156 00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:35.159 Honest about it. So here, and we have to record 157 00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:38.320 them because obviously you're part of that. So here's what 158 00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:39.960 you do.

Nobody looks at it and goes, well, you know, 195 00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:40.600 now the poor people that were inland, they'll have ocean 196 00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:41.279 front property. 197 00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:44.279 Good for you. You're right, You're absolutely right. 198 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.799 The Pope makes the plea. The new Pope, no less Pope. 199 00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:53.279 Leo the fourteenth, has called for the release of imprisoned 200 00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:56.879 journalists and affirmed the what he calls precious gift of 201 00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:59.240 free speech in the press. 202 00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:00.600 The pope was. 203 00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.399 Elected in a twenty four hour conclave last week, called 204 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:06.879 for journalists to use words for peace, to reject war, 205 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:09.519 and to give voices to the voiceless. 206 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:15.639 Yeah it's typical pope stuff, but this is fine, thank you. Yeah, 207 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:20.399 we want you know what almost almost you know, it 208 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:23.360 almost sounds like a beauty pageant every time the Pope 209 00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:25.039 does it, gives a speech. 210 00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:26.919 Yeah I want world peace. Yeah, that's what I want. 211 00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:27.320 Thank you. 212 00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.519 Now, this Pope is kind of fun because for some reason, 213 00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:38.480 ABC News particularly and maybe it's because David Mura's Catholic, 214 00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:42.440 and I don't know, but they went to his brothers, 215 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.759 who his brothers have a very close relationship with quote 216 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:51.120 Robbie the new Pope, and they are in touch with 217 00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:53.200 each other every day, so there was kind of a, 218 00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:55.679 you know, a fun spin to that. And he seems 219 00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:59.720 like a very regular guy who is a very regular guy. 220 00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:05.320 He was playing wordle with his brother just before get him. 221 00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:05.799 In a headlock. 222 00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:08.879 Yeah, I know, it was just it was kind of fun. 223 00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:12.200 And he speaks English obviously, comes from Chicago, and he 224 00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:16.840 speaks Spanish, and he speaks Italian, so he is very international. 225 00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:21.320 Of the pope speaks for the Chicago accident. Oh, one 226 00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:23.519 of the things that was kind of fun when it 227 00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:28.799 was ABC News again, did admit that Leo converted? 228 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:29.720 He did convert. 229 00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:36.279 He went from Chicago deep dish pizza to the Italian 230 00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:41.720 thin crust and devastated people in Chicago. 231 00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:48.240 Actually, it's a misnomer. Chicago has great thin crust pizza. 232 00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:50.399 Nobody talks about it, though. 233 00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:51.559 That's correct, you just. 234 00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:53.480 Did, all right. 235 00:12:55.120 --> 00:13:00.159 Trump started his visit to the Gulf in Saudi Arabia, 236 00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:05.720 and he's talking basically about economic deals, not Gaza, not 237 00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:11.240 Iran's nuclear program, but focusing on securing trillions of dollars 238 00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:14.759 in investments rather than the other issues. And he even 239 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:17.519 got off the air Force one and punched. 240 00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:21.519 The air You don't see a president doing this very often. 241 00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:24.120 When he went to Saudi Arabia a couple of other 242 00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:28.720 Arab states for the primary purpose of business, not for 243 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:34.159 international relations, to bring huge investment into the United States. 244 00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:38.720 And he's convincing the Mid East just start piling money 245 00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:42.679 into America, which on a business level, that's a good thing. 246 00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:45.519 That's a very good thing business wise. 247 00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:48.840 And they are doing so not because the US is 248 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:53.320 a good investment. They're doing this because of a personal 249 00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:56.879 relationship they want with Saudi Arabia with the United States. 250 00:13:57.519 --> 00:13:59.360 And it seems to be the case. And then the 251 00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:04.080 issue of the airplane. Here have an airplane if it's 252 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:07.200 a party favor after one of the dinners they have. 253 00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:14.399 Is Saudi Arabia have much of a military. 254 00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:13.000 Not really. 255 00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:15.279 I mean, we are the ones that supply all the 256 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:19.039 arms to Saudi Arabia. It's not considered a major military. Uh, 257 00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:22.000 it's not the only thing. They have to defend themselves 258 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:27.519 against is Iran, and in a very weird way, Israel 259 00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:32.480 is their deterrent. They actually have a pretty good relationship. 260 00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:34.840 They can't get they can't talk about it because it's 261 00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:38.639 all lip service, of course to the Palaestadians, but they 262 00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:42.840 rely on Israel to defend them as against Iran, because 263 00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:44.759 that's that's the big one that part of the world. 264 00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.080 Back to head on the news news with me and 265 00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:52.919 a king Amy okay uh. 266 00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:55.120 Ice is going to get that information. 267 00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:59.399 A federal judge has denied an injunction request to prevent 268 00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:03.320 the Department of Homeland Security and the IRS from teaming 269 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:08.480 up to get US Customs and Immigration Enforcement ICE to 270 00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:12.679 access taxpayer information. And the whole idea behind that is 271 00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:15.639 that they would use that information to find illegal immigrants 272 00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:18.919 who are subject to deportation. In the ruling, it said, 273 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:21.639 at its core, this case presents a narrow legal issue. 274 00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:26.440 Does the memorandum of understanding between the IRS and DHS 275 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:30.759 violate the Internal Revenue Code? The order says it does not. 276 00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:37.200 So it looks like if you're here illegally, ICE is 277 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:38.240 going to get your information. 278 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:40.320 All right, I'm back, sorry about that. 279 00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:42.679 I really really had to pee and I try to 280 00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:45.279 do it as quickly as I can during the course 281 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:47.720 of the show. I mean, I don't wash my hands 282 00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:52.320 or shake, so I maan, I do it very quickly, 283 00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:56.200 all right. My timing was off. What can I tell you? 284 00:15:57.000 --> 00:15:58.960 That's okay? You're on meds, right, Oh. 285 00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:02.039 Yeah, oh yeah, yeah yeah, I'm on meds. I'm drinking 286 00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:03.840 lots of coffee and it's a diuretic. 287 00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:06.039 Well, we were just. 288 00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:11.559 Talking about ice and how DHS and the IRS can 289 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:16.120 get the information on illegal immigrants or can give the 290 00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:19.759 information on illegal immigrants who are subject to deportation. 291 00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:20.759 What a surprise. 292 00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:24.960 I'm going to talk more about what's happening with illegal 293 00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:28.440 immigrants in general, coming up at seven o'clock a Department 294 00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:30.840 of Homeland Security. Because there's a lot of news going on. 295 00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:33.279 You know, I should have shaken you know that. Okay, 296 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:37.480 let's move on, you know, I you know Will always 297 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:40.320 you know, for some reason, Will hasn't been around long 298 00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:44.039 enough to just let that stuff, you know pass. 299 00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:49.080 We just easy to get back to the news. 300 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:51.399 Oh yeah, we can do that, Okay, moving on. 301 00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:54.440 Jeez, thirty year stroke. 302 00:16:55.360 --> 00:17:00.879 This is Sean Colmes, The assistant US attorney Emily Johnson 303 00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:06.480 told the jury as she pointed at mister Combs there 304 00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:10.880 he leaned back in his chair there in Manhattan, and 305 00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:14.039 she's continued, during this trial, you are going to hear 306 00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:18.920 about twenty years of the defendant's crimes. Those crimes, she said, 307 00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:24.759 include kidnapping, arson, drugs, sex crimes, bribery, and obstruction. 308 00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:29.839 And continued to go on and on and on and the. 309 00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:34.559 A lot of evidence his defense. Defense attorney says, he's 310 00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:39.279 not a good guy. Granted this is he's not a 311 00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:43.279 boy scout. However, what he did was consensual. Everything was 312 00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:46.640 consensual sex. And then they showed the video of him 313 00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:51.359 beating the crap out of his girlfriend in that hotel room, 314 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:54.200 grabbing her by the hair, pushing her to the ground, 315 00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:57.400 and then kicking her. And I'd really like to see 316 00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:01.079 the defense argue that that was consensual, right. I think 317 00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:03.359 he's gonna have some real, real problems. 318 00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:05.519 She's taking the stand today or expected it. 319 00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:07.839 Yes, it's gonna be. And I think he had to. 320 00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:10.319 Go to trial because the plea deal that he was 321 00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:11.920 offered was horrific. 322 00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:15.039 It's almost if as if it doesn't matter. 323 00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:16.440 You know. 324 00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:20.160 I've been hearing things like he's being real charming and 325 00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:23.599 talking to people that work there and the security people, 326 00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:27.079 and I wonder if is it just hubris that he 327 00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:30.400 goes just let me take this, let me I don't 328 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:32.039 like or defend myself. 329 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:35.240 I mean, it doesn't help him that he's invited the 330 00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:37.480 jury right there in the courtroom to join him in 331 00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:37.960 an orgy. 332 00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:40.920 Oh my gosh, how about a white party. 333 00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:46.640 Uh huh yeah, yeah, speaking of white amy. 334 00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:49.880 Yeah, Trump is not trying to kick everyone out. He's 335 00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:51.240 letting a few people in. 336 00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:52.240 Uh. 337 00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:55.400 There was a flight that has landed in the US. 338 00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:58.880 It has a group of fifty nine South Africans who 339 00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:02.599 are all white. They've been granted refugee status by the 340 00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:05.680 Trump administration. They were the first people to be granted 341 00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:08.759 refugee status by the administration. They're not expected to be 342 00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:12.480 the last Africaners to come to the US. So Trump 343 00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:16.119 had said that these guys were being threatened and killed 344 00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:22.200 in South Africa as they're like farm owners and as 345 00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:25.200 the people of South Africa are taking them over again. 346 00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:27.400 This has gone on for a long time. It was 347 00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:30.559 a big issue in Zimbabwe when the government started giving 348 00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:34.359 land back to the indigenous people. 349 00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:41.720 Well yeah, Well Mugabi, who was president of Zimbabwe Rhodesia 350 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:44.079 they changed the name, was a. 351 00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:46.480 Dictator for forty or fifty years. 352 00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:51.319 Any single handedly destroyed the country. It was the wealthiest 353 00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:54.359 country in Africa. And then it became the poorest country 354 00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:58.079 in Africa, and a lot of it because you had 355 00:19:58.119 --> 00:20:02.680 the white farmers, you had successful farms and businesses were 356 00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:06.279 in fact taken over because of the pendulum swinging, because 357 00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:13.160 the insane racism and apartheid that the African Africans suffered, 358 00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:17.160 and so hey, the pendulum swings. And now you have 359 00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:20.400 a situation where much the same thing is happening, and 360 00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:25.079 it's the Trump administration saying we don't want anybody else 361 00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:30.720 other than white people, and white people are being prosecuted, 362 00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:35.000 which they are probably and being persecuted, which they probably are, 363 00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:39.920 and it's you know, welcome to the world. This didn't 364 00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:45.000 happen when Nelson Mandela was president. Nelson Mandela was really 365 00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:50.039 Gandhi and Martin Luther King. And it has gone south. 366 00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:56.960 So another of these big court cases, this time this 367 00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:01.240 is against sc Johnson, and you've got a California woman 368 00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:04.759 suing them, the maker of ziplock, because she says some 369 00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:11.960 of its products contained undisclosed microplastics that mislead and harm consumers. 370 00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:17.480 And these are things like uh that say, microwaves, say, 371 00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:20.240 or freezers safe, all of these that imply it's safe 372 00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:23.519 to use those, but the lawsuit claims that they're made 373 00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:26.240 from materials that release microplastics when. 374 00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:28.799 Used in the microwave for everything does. 375 00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:34.240 Yeah, so it's just lawsuit after lawsuit. I don't know 376 00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:37.759 if you were around before. Plastic was there when I 377 00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:40.599 was a little one, and my parents used to make 378 00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:44.559 sandwiches for me, uh and uh and for you, and 379 00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:46.559 they were wrapped in wax paper. 380 00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:50.640 We had. 381 00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:55.400 We had plastic obviously when I was around, but uh, 382 00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:58.839 I do remember wax paper being used on occasional. 383 00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:01.200 Yeah, and it was and wax. I mean not that 384 00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:03.279 they didn't have plastic. They did, but it was just 385 00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:05.920 they did have the ziplock stuff. 386 00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:10.359 And it was, oh, you know what I wanted. So 387 00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:11.319 I thought I mentioned that. 388 00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:15.200 The movie The Graduate, because there's a scene in there 389 00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:17.519 Ryan on it he goes plastics. 390 00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:20.440 You got to invest in plastics. 391 00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:22.400 Lost in translation. 392 00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:28.200 President Trump's Special envoy, Steve Whitkoff, has broken with long 393 00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:32.480 standing protocol by not having his own interpreter during three 394 00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:38.079 high level meetings with Russia's President Putin. He used translators 395 00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:44.119 from the Kremlin only instead. Witkoff met in February and March, 396 00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:49.119 and in April and apparently used their translators. Western officials say, 397 00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:51.160 if they speak to each other in Russian, he doesn't 398 00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:52.480 know what they're saying. 399 00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:58.920 And that doesn't make sense. I mean, you want. 400 00:22:58.759 --> 00:23:03.119 Your own interpreter who can pick up nuances and inflection. 401 00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:07.279
