Speaker 1: Talk about doing a one hundred and eighty degree u turn.
Speaker 1: In a major reversal, President Trump now says he is
Speaker 1: going to send arms weapons to Ukraine. He says they
Speaker 1: will be defensive weapons, but nevertheless it is going to
Speaker 1: be a multi billion dollar weapons package, maybe even a
Speaker 1: Patriot missile system, interceptor missiles, health fire missiles, artillery shells,
Speaker 1: you name it. In other words, a man who said
Speaker 1: he wanted to end these endless wars, who criticized Biden,
Speaker 1: in my view, rightly for sending arms deal after arms deal,
Speaker 1: money after money, weapons after weapons in a feudal effort
Speaker 1: to try to defeat Russia in Eastern Ukraine, now has
Speaker 1: reverted to the Biden policy. And it's not just now
Speaker 1: that he wants to arm Ukraine to the teeth, it's
Speaker 1: that he now also wants to impose sanctions on Russia
Speaker 1: and even impose crippling tariffs on any country that helps
Speaker 1: Russia in its war against Ukraine. In other words, this
Speaker 1: is a major escalation of America's involvement in the war
Speaker 1: between Russia and Ukraine and a complete violation or betrayal
Speaker 1: of his promise to not get US involved any further
Speaker 1: in Ukraine. My friends, we voted for America first, not
Speaker 1: Ukraine first. And by now sending billions of dollars in
Speaker 1: weapons to Ukraine, as I said, this is now Biden
Speaker 1: two point zero on this particular issue. He is no
Speaker 1: different than Joe Biden. And it's not just that Zelenski
Speaker 1: and his band of crooks in the capital Kiev are
Speaker 1: going to steal much of the weapons, sell it on
Speaker 1: the black market, siphon off the financial aid. It's that
Speaker 1: whatever aid does make it to the front lines is
Speaker 1: not gonna stop the inescapable reality of the facts on
Speaker 1: the ground. Russia has won this war, Putin has won,
Speaker 1: Zelenski has lost, and all this is gonna do is
Speaker 1: it's going to prolong the fighting in Ukraine for another three, four, five,
Speaker 1: six months, leading to more Russian dead, more Ukrainians dead,
Speaker 1: and the blood bath and the meat grinder will go on.
Speaker 1: But in the end this is not enough to turn
Speaker 1: the tide of the war. It will only prolong Ukraine's
Speaker 1: agony and its eventual defeat. And rather than level with
Speaker 1: Zelenski and the Ukrainian people and frankly America and the world,
Speaker 1: Trump now is just throwing good money after bad at
Speaker 1: a time when our own weapons stockpiles are badly depleted.
Speaker 1: In fact, the Pentagon has now said, we don't have
Speaker 1: enough Patriot missiles. We don't have enough missiles or artillery
Speaker 1: shells or basic military firepower to defend the American homeland.
Speaker 1: If we don't have enough to defend ourselves, what are
Speaker 1: we doing giving billions of dollars worth of weapons and
Speaker 1: a weaponry to Ukraine? My friends, this is an abandonment
Speaker 1: of everything Trump campaigned on. Remember he loves to say
Speaker 1: promise is made, promise is kept. Well, this time promise
Speaker 1: is made, promise is broken. America First is not just
Speaker 1: a slogan, It's supposed to be a policy. And when
Speaker 1: it comes to being America first to Ukraine, we should
Speaker 1: get the hell out of that war. Who wins the
Speaker 1: war in Ukraine will not impact the security or strategic
Speaker 1: interests of the United States. We do not have a
Speaker 1: dog in that fight. Let Ukraine and Russia fight it out.
Speaker 1: If Zelensky is foolish enough to keep prolonging this war,
Speaker 1: he will lose more territory, and if he's not careful,
Speaker 1: the capital Kiev itself may fall to Russian forces and
Speaker 1: Russian and Russian tanks. But that's for Zelenski and the
Speaker 1: Ukrainians to decide. When it comes to our strategic interests,
Speaker 1: we need another war like we need a hole in
Speaker 1: the head, and we need to get involved in a
Speaker 1: conflict like we need a hole in the head. It
Speaker 1: is time for us to pull out. This is Ukraine's fight,
Speaker 1: it is not America's fight. We have so many problems
Speaker 1: here at home. The last thing we need is to
Speaker 1: spend more and deplete our stockpiles even more and get
Speaker 1: further embroiled in a senseless, endless war that Russia has
Speaker 1: already won and that Russia will win. It's time for
Speaker 1: Trump to cut his losses. He's not winning the Nobel
Speaker 1: Peace Prize when it comes to Russia or Ukraine. Ukraine
Speaker 1: now must be told sue for peace. The sooner the better,
Speaker 1: because the longer this war goes on, the worse it
Speaker 1: will be for Ukraine. President Trump, I'm asking you, I'm
Speaker 1: almost begging you, change your mind and reverse course. Get
Speaker 1: us out of Ukraine. No more weapons to Ukraine. We've
Speaker 1: given them one hundred and seventy five billion dollars worth
Speaker 1: of money and weaponry. That's enough. It's time to put
Speaker 1: America and Americans first.
