WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.919 We had a meeting today, as you know, with President Zelensky, 2 00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:05.040 and I would say it didn't work out exactly great 3 00:00:05.559 --> 00:00:09.720 from his standpoint. I mean, he very much overplayed his hand. 4 00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:11.919 We're looking for peace. 5 00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:14.839 We're not looking for somebody that's going to sign up 6 00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:17.839 a strong power and then not make peace because they 7 00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:20.239 feel emboldened. And that's what I saw happening. 8 00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:21.839 I'm looking for peace. 9 00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:24.000 We're not looking to go into a ten year war 10 00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:29.519 and play games. We won peace, and it was just 11 00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:30.679 firing pressure that. 12 00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:33.880 If we do that, if we sign up. He's looking for. 13 00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:35.280 Something that I'm not looking for. 14 00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:38.520 He's looking to go on and fight, fight, fight, We're 15 00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:43.840 looking to end to death. Two thousand people died this week. 16 00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:48.600 Told you further than that, but two thousand approximately people 17 00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:54.920 died this week, young Ukrainians and Russians. And somebody would say, 18 00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:58.000 why do you care about Ukraine and Russian soldiers. 19 00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:01.200 I care about them, care about everybody. 20 00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:06.519 The press conference heard around the world today. Vladimir Zelenski 21 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:09.879 landed in DC and he entered the White House and 22 00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:13.519 he had a conversation with the President of the United States, 23 00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:16.519 Donald Trump and the Vice President United States, Jade Vance, 24 00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:19.159 was sitting by his side. It's actually about an hour 25 00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:22.879 long conversation, and shockingly, it was done in front of 26 00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:26.040 the press corps or at least a huge amount of 27 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:32.120 photographers and I assume reporters. It's one of the most Honestly, 28 00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:34.480 I think it's the most unique thing I've ever seen 29 00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:39.239 in geopolitics. I have never seen a foreign dignitary, much 30 00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:42.879 less a foreign president sit down. And I mean he's 31 00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:45.640 from a war torn country. It's also a proxy war 32 00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:50.799 of ours, clearly, and to have this debate, which I 33 00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:53.400 don't think it intended to be a debate, but to 34 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.000 have this debate in the public eye, for us to 35 00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:59.280 look in on it, to see how this actually plays out, 36 00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:02.799 it's one of the most enlightening things I've ever seen. 37 00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:05.840 I mean, I don't think I'm overstating it. If anybody 38 00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.639 has not seen this, you'll understand why I'm saying it. 39 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:12.159 Those that have already seen this, you will absolutely agree 40 00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.560 with me. I would imagine that this is just revelatory 41 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:20.080 as to the inner workings of how foreign diplomats and 42 00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.000 presidents interact with one another. I'm not going to show 43 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:24.879 the entire thing, because like I said, it's about an 44 00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:29.000 hour long sit down conversation, but the ten minutes of 45 00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:33.039 disaster for Zelensky was at the end. So I just 46 00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:37.280 want to recap the open by explaining, and certainly you're 47 00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:38.960 welcome to watch the entire thing if you'd like to, 48 00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:42.439 but it's for the most part, it's not eventful for 49 00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:45.560 the first forty five minutes or so. And what's happening is, 50 00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:48.800 you know, Trump is being very complimentary to Ukraine, He's 51 00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:54.479 being very amicable, even flattering at times, and Zelensky just 52 00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.759 continues to increasingly become more and more belligerent, and you 53 00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:02.520 can tell that his belligerence starts to wear on Trump 54 00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:05.240 and jad Evans and by the end of it, there's 55 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:07.039 this breaking point. And we're going to get into the 56 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.120 breaking point in a second, but I first just want 57 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:11.639 to talk a little bit about why I think this 58 00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:14.360 is such a Actually I'm I'm going to save that. 59 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:16.960 Let's do the explanation as to why this is so 60 00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:19.919 paradigm shifting once everybody has had an opportunity to see 61 00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:20.599 what transpired. 62 00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:21.800 Well, thank you very much. 63 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:26.319 It's an honor to have President Zelenski of Ukraine, and 64 00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:29.319 we've been working very hard, very close, so We've actually 65 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:31.800 known each other for a long time. We've been dealing 66 00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:33.719 with each other for a long time and very well. 67 00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:38.319 We had little negotiations fat but that worked out great. 68 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:41.199 I think for both countries, I think for the world 69 00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:45.759 actually beyond both countries, and we have something that is 70 00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:50.479 a very fair deal, and we look forward to getting 71 00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.919 in and digging, digging, digging and working and getting some 72 00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:54.840 of the rare earth. 73 00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:57.400 But it means we're going to be inside, and. 74 00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.719 It's a big commitment from the United States States, and 75 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:04.919 we appreciate working with you very much and we will 76 00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:08.240 continue to do that. We have had some very good 77 00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:12.479 discussions with Russia. I spoke with President Putin and we're 78 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:14.240 going to try and bring this to a close. 79 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:16.240 It's something that you want and that he wants. We 80 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:16.759 have to. 81 00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:20.639 Negotiate a deal, but we've started the confines of a deal, 82 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:22.879 and I think something can happen. 83 00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:26.959 The big thing is the. 84 00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:30.600 Number of soldiers mostly at this point, but soldiers being killed, 85 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.279 are losing thousands of soldiers, So on both sides, we're 86 00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:35.480 losing a lot of soldiers and we want to see 87 00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:38.360 it stop, and we want to see the money get 88 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:42.319 put to different kinds of use like rebuilding the rebuilding. 89 00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:44.240 So as you can see, he's being very respectful. This 90 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.560 is the opening minute. Zelenski plays nice at first. I mean, 91 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:49.839 every time you've seen a foreign diplomat sit down with 92 00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:51.920 a president, be it Trump or Biden or Obama or 93 00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:56.879 anybody in the past, it's all very polite, almost scripted. 94 00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:59.879 It feels like like the all of the details of 95 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.800 already been negotiated, and this is just about getting in 96 00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:04.639 front of the cameras and allowing for the journalists to 97 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:06.800 take photos and ask a couple of questions, and everybody 98 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:09.439 kisses each other's as, and then you know, they take 99 00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:11.920 a victory lap and everybody goes home. That's not what 100 00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.079 happened today. And this is the first time I've ever 101 00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.199 seen it in the public eye, and I would imagine 102 00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:19.959 that this does happen privately, probably on phone calls more 103 00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:23.360 often than in person. But it is so unique, and 104 00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:26.800 particularly when you can trast it between Joe Biden and 105 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:31.519 the entire d n C operation that just greenlit whatever 106 00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:34.920 whatever Zelenski wanted, and then you can trast it to 107 00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:38.160 how this plays out, it's mind blowing. Actually, let me 108 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:41.399 show you a clip of Zelensky meeting with not just 109 00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:45.720 Democrats but also Republican politicians and how they treated him 110 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:59.480 just a few months ago. So it's a heroes welcome. 111 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:01.439 And this is what Zelenski has dealt with for the 112 00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:05.639 past two plus years, as his countrymen are on the 113 00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:09.600 front line getting obliterated. He has traveled the world just 114 00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:13.120 being treated like a returning king everywhere he goes, and 115 00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:17.399 that that includes America. So the juxtaposition between that treatment 116 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:21.319 and what happened today is profound. Let's get into it now. 117 00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:24.319 I'm talking with my friends in Poland and they are 118 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:31.759 the cute aligning of Come on, what's your message for them? Well, 119 00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:34.879 if I didn't align myself with both of them, you 120 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:35.759 never have a deal. 121 00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:37.800 You want me to say. 122 00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:42.279 Really terrible things about Putin and then say, Hi, Vladimir, 123 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:43.319 how are we doing on the deal? 124 00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:46.240 That doesn't work that way. I'm not aligned with Putin. 125 00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:47.680 I'm not aligned with anybody. 126 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.319 I'm aligned with the United States of America and for 127 00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:53.759 the good of the world. I'm aligned with the world, 128 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:55.639 and I want to get this thing over with. You 129 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:58.199 see the hatred he's got for Putin. That's very tough 130 00:06:58.399 --> 00:06:59.959 for me to make a deal with that kind of Hey, 131 00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:03.360 he's got tremendous hatred and I understand that, but I 132 00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:05.680 can tell you the other side is exactly in love 133 00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:10.199 with you know him E there, So it's not a 134 00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:11.240 question of alignment. 135 00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.360 I have to I'm aligned with the world. I want 136 00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:16.319 to get the thing set. I'm aligned with Europe. 137 00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:18.040 I want you to for those that are watching and 138 00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:21.360 not listening, I want you to watch Zelenski's mannerisms through this, 139 00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:24.560 throughout this. I mean, he comes across as if he's 140 00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:29.199 yacked out of his mind. Maybe it's just nerves, maybe, 141 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:33.079 but the facial takes, the hand movements, how he's just 142 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:37.319 constantly fiddling with his fingers and he just looks on 143 00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:40.879 edge and then hiss like these, the facial twitches in particular, 144 00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:44.480 and the constant sniffling. I really you can guess as 145 00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:46.000 to what I think is going on with this guy. 146 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:48.079 I want to see if we can get this thing done. 147 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:50.839 You want me to be tough. I could be tougher 148 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:53.600 than any human being you've ever seen. I'd be so tough, 149 00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:56.240 But you're never going to get a deal that way. 150 00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:00.199 So that's the way it goes. I have one more question, Hey, 151 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:01.160 I would respond to this. 152 00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:03.680 So, look, I just got to point this out. So 153 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.160 they've been talking for fifty minutes and they've gotten through it. 154 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:13.279 Zelensky hasn't flipped out, nothing crazy has happened. And Trump says, 155 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.720 one more question, So he just needed to get through 156 00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:21.040 one more question, and they would assign this mineral rights 157 00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:25.199 deal to get additional aid from the US and to 158 00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:28.959 negotiate a peace deal with Russia, like it was that close. 159 00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:33.519 And then JD. Vance decides to speak, and apparently Zelensky 160 00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.080 didn't like the idea of the vice president having any say. 161 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.879 So for four years in the United States of America, 162 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:42.480 we had a president who stood up at press conferences 163 00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:46.240 and talked tough about Vladimir Putin, and then Putin invaded 164 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:49.639 Ukraine and destroyed a significant chunk of the country. The 165 00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:53.480 path to peace and the path to prosperity is maybe 166 00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:58.279 engaging in diplomacy. We tried the pathway of Joe Biden, 167 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.519 of thumping our chest and PARTI that the President of 168 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:04.720 the United States's words mattered more than the President of 169 00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:08.360 the United States's actions. What makes America a good country 170 00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:10.360 is America engaging in diplomacy. 171 00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:12.039 That's what President Trump is doing. 172 00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:16.080 Can I ask you just before you see Zelenski's reaction, 173 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:18.480 did you find anything off putting about what Ja d 174 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:21.120 Vance said there? I mean, if anything, he's being insulting 175 00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:25.480 towards Joe Biden. Like clearly there is no there's no 176 00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:29.639 slight or shade thrown even slightly at Zelenski in what 177 00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:34.080 jd Vance said. But Zelenski took serious umbrage to it, 178 00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:38.360 and he just may have ruined his country, his political life, 179 00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:39.840 his career, everything. 180 00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:47.120 Yeah, yeah, okay, so he occupied it our parts, big 181 00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:50.879 parts of Ukraine, parts of East and Crimea. 182 00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:53.879 So he occupied it on twenty fifteen. 183 00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:59.279 So during a lot of years, I'm not speaking about 184 00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:04.039 Jis Biden, but those times was Obama, then President Obama, 185 00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:07.799 then President Trump, then President Biden, now the President Trump 186 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:10.960 and God bless now President Trump will stop him. But 187 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:14.759 during twenty fifteen, nobody stopped him. He just occupied and 188 00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:16.399 took he killed people. 189 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:17.919 You know what the contact. 190 00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:20.000 Twenty fifteen, twenty. 191 00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:23.600 Fourty, So he kills that here. 192 00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:27.360 Yeah, by the said right, yes, but during twenty fourteen 193 00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:31.960 till twenty twenty two, what the situation the same that 194 00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:36.559 people have been dying on the contact line. Nobody stopped him. 195 00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:37.600 You know that. 196 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:40.799 We had conversations with him, a lot of conversations, my 197 00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:45.200 lateral conversation, and we signed with him, me like a 198 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.559 new president. In twenty nineteen, I signed with. 199 00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:51.440 Him the deal I signed with him. 200 00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:56.559 Macron and Mayor kill we signed ceasefire, ceasefire. All of 201 00:10:56.600 --> 00:11:00.600 them told me that he will never go. We signed 202 00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:04.840 him with guess contract. Guess contract, yes. But after that 203 00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:08.679 he broken this his fire. He killed at white people 204 00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:13.200 and he didn't exchange prisoners. We signed the exchange of prisoners, 205 00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:17.519 but he didn't do it. What kind of diplomacy gg 206 00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:18.679 us became involved? 207 00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:20.480 What do you what do you mean? 208 00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:23.039 I'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to 209 00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:26.360 end the destruction of your country. But mister President, mister president, 210 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:28.799 with respect, I think it's disrespectful for you to come 211 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:30.480 into the Oval office to try to litigate this in 212 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:32.840 front of the American media. Right now, you guys are 213 00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:36.480 going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because 214 00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:39.679 you have manpower problems. You should be thanking the president 215 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:41.639 for to bring it into this conflict. 216 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:46.480 It's already getting spicy. You can see it escalating. It. 217 00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:51.559 It was all hunky dory, And then apparently Zelenski takes 218 00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:54.240 umbrage at the fact that jd Vance points out that 219 00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:57.279 there are big chunks of Ukraine that are have been destroyed, 220 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:02.240 and he talks about how one to utilize diplomacy, and 221 00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:05.919 Zelensky apparently finds that insulting, saying, you know, where was 222 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.279 the diplomacy back in twenty fourteen, which is bizarre because 223 00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:12.840 how could you possibly expect jd Vance, who I don't 224 00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:15.480 even think was in politics at that time. Maybe he 225 00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:18.200 was a senator by then, I'm not sure, but or Trump, 226 00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:20.960 who certainly wasn't in power or even in politics either. 227 00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:24.799 It's just strange. It's a strange thing to get bothered by. 228 00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:29.519 But it escalates very rapidly from here. And might I add, well, 229 00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:32.720 Zelensky is, you know, more than happy to talk about 230 00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:36.919 twenty fourteen and Russia's taking over Crimea. He doesn't mention 231 00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:40.919 what transpired immediately, immediately like the same exact time, almost 232 00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:43.279 is the well, first off, the night on revolution. He 233 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:45.679 doesn't talk about that or the State Department involvement and 234 00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:49.240 overthrowing his predecessor. But he also doesn't talk about the 235 00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:54.279 bombing campaign on the dombask like, well, why was that happening? Glad, 236 00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:55.720 Like you want to explain that one? 237 00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:56.519 Na, Na, Na. 238 00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:00.279 Let's just make this as lopsided as possible that. 239 00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:03.840 You say what problems we have? I have been to come. 240 00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:08.039 I have actually I've actually watched and seen the stories, 241 00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:10.639 and I know what happens is you bring people, you 242 00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:11.159 bring them. 243 00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:12.120 On a propaganda tour. 244 00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:15.360 Mister President, are do you disagree that you've had problems 245 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:17.840 bringing people in your military. 246 00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:20.039 Have and do you think that respect polons to come 247 00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:20.399 to the. 248 00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:23.039 Oval Office of the United States of America and attack 249 00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:26.480 the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of 250 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:26.879 your country. 251 00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:29.679 A lot of questions. Let's start from the bigin Sure 252 00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:30.320 Hills to Wall. 253 00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:32.759 I got to interject one more time here. What I 254 00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:35.480 find fascinating about this is that Trump is letting this cook. 255 00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:39.159 You would think Mike Pence, for instance, or a flashback 256 00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:41.919 to Barack Obama. Did he let Joe Biden interject during 257 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:44.879 meetings like this? Not that I ever saw, that's for sure. 258 00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:50.440 And JD is being quite antagonistic in response to Zelenski's 259 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:53.360 antagonism to begin this all off. But the fact that 260 00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:56.320 Trump allows him to do so, I think speaks speaks 261 00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:59.960 volumes about his opinion of jd Vance, of his real 262 00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:03.399 relationship with him, that he doesn't interject. You know, you've 263 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:05.639 seen Trump when someone else tries to speak up and 264 00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:07.960 he disagrees, he'll be the first to throw a hand 265 00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:11.519 up and talk over them. Trump sits there quietly and 266 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:14.480 he lets Jade Vance just cook this dude. And it 267 00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:15.600 gets wilder from here. 268 00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:20.360 During the war, everybody has problems, even you, But you 269 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:23.679 have nice oution and don't feel now, but you will 270 00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:25.559 feel it in the future. 271 00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:28.879 God bless, God, bless you're God bless You're not. 272 00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:31.960 Don't tell us what we're going to feel. We're trying 273 00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:34.120 to solve a problem. Don't tell us what we're going 274 00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:34.519 to feel. 275 00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:34.799 I'm not. 276 00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:37.759 And this is where he really cross the line with Trump, 277 00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:42.399 because the insinuation there is quite clear. He's saying, because 278 00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:44.440 you have these big, beautiful oceans, you don't have to 279 00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:47.960 deal with war, but the implication being that if you 280 00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:51.519 don't stop flaber putin, that war may come for you next, 281 00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:55.360 which is obviously absurd. Russia is not going to conquer 282 00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:58.039 all of Europe and then come across the Atlantic and 283 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:03.559 invade the United States. It's just but Trump gets fiery here. 284 00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:06.080 Because you're in no position to dictate that. 285 00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:11.000 Remember this, you're in no position to dictate what we're 286 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.679 going to feel. We're going to feel very good, feel 287 00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:17.600 We're going to feel very good and very strong influenced. 288 00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:20.360 You're right now, not in a very good position. You've 289 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:22.799 allowed you to be in a very bad position. 290 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:25.240 That happens to be right about from the very beginning 291 00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:25.840 of the war. 292 00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:28.759 Not in a good position. You don't have the cards 293 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:32.440 right now with us. You start having right now, you 294 00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:37.039 don't take your plans. You're gambling with their lives from 295 00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:40.399 millions of people. You see, you're gambling with world War three. 296 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:44.840 You're gambling with world War three. And what you're doing 297 00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:49.759 is very disrespectful to the country, this country. It's back 298 00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:52.240 to you far more than a lot of people said 299 00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:53.399 they should have. 300 00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:56.679 Man, that is that's about as heated as I've ever 301 00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:00.200 seen Trump get, you know, other than the Apprentice or 302 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:05.440 something like. He is clearly bothered, like deeply deeply bothered. 303 00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:07.879 And I get it what is happening here, like the 304 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:11.639 entire You gotta keep in mind too, it's like Trump 305 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:15.559 wasn't responsible for my don wasn't even in American politics 306 00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:17.799 at the time. So yes, you can say that the 307 00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:22.320 United States government is culpable in the overthrow and ultimately 308 00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:25.399 the antagonism that led to the war with Russia, but 309 00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:30.559 the or the invasion by Russia. The participation that Trump 310 00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:33.559 has in this is like, yeah, he sent them munitions 311 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:35.919 in I think it was twenty eighteen, and he bragged 312 00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:37.559 about it. He said, you know, Obama would only send 313 00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:40.799 them blankets. I sent them bombs. So he owns a 314 00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:44.679 very small fraction of the antagonism. But more specifically, like 315 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:47.679 this is on Obama and Biden. Biden was the Vice 316 00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:50.320 president of the United States and the head envoy to Ukraine. 317 00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:55.440 Obviously Obama oversaw the State Department. Hillary Clinton was obviously involved. 318 00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:58.679 Victoria Nolan. This is like, this is the Democrat Party. 319 00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:01.279 This is their war, this is their proxy war. They 320 00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:03.720 started it, they funded it, they loved it all all 321 00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:06.119 the way along. Yes, some of the neo cons in 322 00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:08.960 the Republican Party, like Lindsay Graham and others, certainly John 323 00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:11.440 McCain played their part, but like, you can't put this 324 00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:14.240 at the feet at Trump, feet of Trump, at least 325 00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:19.279 not primarily certainly not so, it's just it's just fascinating 326 00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:22.079 that that Zelensky is still talking to him as if 327 00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:26.200 like this is kind of your bad, you know. And moreover, 328 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:30.960 he just comes across as extraordinarily unappreciative, and Jade Vance 329 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:34.480 asks him that in the following segment here he says, 330 00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:37.319 have you ever said thank you? You know? And I 331 00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:40.400 think that's what most Americans, you know, those that aren't 332 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:44.559 even not interventionists like myself, that are just pissed that 333 00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:48.440 this guy just seems so entitled that you come across 334 00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:51.960 the ocean, you land here, you put your hand out, 335 00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:55.079 you bitch, your moan, you threaten, you complain, and then 336 00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:58.839 you expect more, Like where's the thanks for the two 337 00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:01.319 hundred billion we've already given? How about the two hundred 338 00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:04.880 billion that you got from the EU? Like any appreciation 339 00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:07.519 for any of this? Did we have to do it? 340 00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:11.200 Like maybe you can argue that the Barack Obama administration 341 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:13.680 or the Joe Biden administration has blood on their hands 342 00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:17.200 and they deserve to pay the price alongside you, But 343 00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:21.119 the American taxpayer, the fuck did we do? We didn't 344 00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:23.920 do anything, and we have been robbed to the tune 345 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:25.839 of two hundred billion. According to Trump, it's three hundred 346 00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:27.759 and fifty billion. I don't know where he gets that number. 347 00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:30.240 I think it's approximately like one hundred ninety billion actually 348 00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:34.240 to be exact. But regardless, like, why are we on 349 00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:38.519 the hook? What the fuck did we do? Nothing? We 350 00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:42.559 did nothing. I had no culpability in this whatsoever. But 351 00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:45.759 you just had this unbelievable sense of entitlement. And I 352 00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:49.319 think it just grates on people, and most politicians in 353 00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:52.160 the West just accept it because I don't know why. 354 00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:54.480 They've drank their own kool aid and they genuinely perceived 355 00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:57.359 this man to be a you know, hero writing in 356 00:18:57.400 --> 00:19:00.640 a white steed. But for the rest of us, like, 357 00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:04.200 you're a fucking comic who used to do like play 358 00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:08.960 the piano with your dick and did talent shows. Why 359 00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:11.119 do I respect? I don't have any fucking respect for 360 00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:13.000 you haven't been on the front line, you haven't been fighting. 361 00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:15.000 I've got plenty of respect for the soldiers of Ukraine 362 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:16.440 and the soldiers of Russia, but I don't have any 363 00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:19.319 fucking respect for Latimer Zelenski. And why should I. I've 364 00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:23.079 been robbed massively to support you and then you come 365 00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:25.160 over here and you fucking lecture the Paris of the 366 00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:27.359 United States, who didn't even have anything to do with 367 00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:32.640 really like sparking this whole thing. Come on, it's ridiculous. 368 00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:36.519 But I think, what's what's most special about this Biden Obama? 369 00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:42.119 You can cure Starmer that any Western politician outside of 370 00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:44.440 maybe Trump and Jdvans and maybe have a vike Ramaswami 371 00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:47.599 if he ever gets to that high level. They all 372 00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:51.920 they're all lifetime politicians. None of them have been in 373 00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:54.359 the business world. They've never had to earn an honest buck. 374 00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:58.519 They don't know how to negotiate anything. They're just like 375 00:19:58.680 --> 00:20:02.880 to their core politicians, that's it. That's their entire skill set. 376 00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:06.039 They know how to smile and nod and let their 377 00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:10.359 underlings do the dirty work. Trump ain't that guy. Yeah, sure, 378 00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:12.319 he's trust fund kid and he got a bunch of 379 00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:13.960 money from his father, But it doesn't matter. Like he 380 00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:18.079 still went out and endeavored to create an enterprise, tons 381 00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:21.279 of different enterprises, and negotiated tons of different deals and 382 00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:24.160 was successful in most of those endeavors. He's got a 383 00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:26.759 real background in business. Like it's crystal clear to me 384 00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:30.680 as a former business guy myself. He's he's negotiating in 385 00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:34.359 real time, in a real way. But what's most special 386 00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:37.279 about it is because of his business acumen as opposed 387 00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:41.119 to the statist acumen of all of his predecessors. He 388 00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:44.440 points out what no other American politician I've ever seen 389 00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:48.799 pointed out. He says, you don't have the cards, you 390 00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:53.440 don't have leverage. That's really what he's saying. He puts 391 00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:56.400 it in you know, poker terminology, and it's a fair 392 00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:02.599 it's very uh analogous to to business negotiations anyways, Like 393 00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:04.599 when you sit down at a poker table or you 394 00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:08.720 sit down at a business roundtable to negotiate, you have 395 00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:11.720 to know what leverage you have, what are you bringing 396 00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.599 to the table, Because if you sit down with a 397 00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:20.720 weak hand or nothing to add to the negotiations, well 398 00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:23.680 then you better fucking play nice. You better find some 399 00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:27.119 way through charisma or otherwise to convince people to go 400 00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:29.160 along with you. But if you sit down with a 401 00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:32.079
