So I did all the show 10 00:00:30,359 --> 00:00:32,920 prep for you know, full show today, try to get 11 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,560 through a bunch of topics that I didn't get through 12 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,039 during the week. But then I saw Zelenski was coming 13 00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:41,200 to the White House and I knew they were going 14 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,200 to be doing some sort of joint appearance. This was 15 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,320 you've seen this setting before. They got the two chairs 16 00:00:47,359 --> 00:00:50,000 set up in the Oval office in front of the fireplace. 17 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,039 You know, one leader in one of the gold chairs, 18 00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:54,159 and you know, the president did another gold chair, and 19 00:00:54,159 --> 00:00:57,479 then they they make a couple of statements, answer a 20 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,640 question or two, and then they heard the media out 21 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,359 of the old office. So that was that's that's the 22 00:01:03,439 --> 00:01:09,079 scene for what just transpired about fifteen minutes ago. Uh, 23 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,319 it was a little, uh, it was a little tense, 24 00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:16,000 shall we say, it was a little tense. And by 25 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,200 a little, I mean a lot. It started off, by 26 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,239 the way, when when Trump greeted Zelensky as he got 27 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,959 out of the the black suv at the White House, 28 00:01:26,239 --> 00:01:30,200 and Trump says to him, He's like, oh, I see 29 00:01:30,239 --> 00:01:32,719 you wore you dressed up for the occasion or something. 30 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,200 Oh you wore your best clothes or something to that effect. 31 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:40,959 Because Zelensky is not wearing the you know, the green sweater, 32 00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:44,799 like the military skin tight sweater thing that he's always wearing, 33 00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:46,400 that he wears all the time. It's his you know, 34 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:54,040 apparently he does not own a jacket or a collared shirt. 35 00:01:55,599 --> 00:01:58,000 But Trump makes the comment to him, and he is 36 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:04,480 wearing a black sweater, so he's not wearing a green sweater. 37 00:02:04,519 --> 00:02:06,959 He's wearing a black version of it. And Trump makes 38 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,159 the go, oh, you dressed up. Whit's come on, that's 39 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:17,039 he shouldn't do that whatever. You know, it's okay. So 40 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,360 now they're sitting in the Oval Office. They had some 41 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,199 meeting and then you know, little meat and greet whatever. 42 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,360 They go to the Oval office. They got the press 43 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,879 in there. I guess and then okay, well, here it goes. 44 00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:31,080 I have not even heard all of this. I heard 45 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,840 I heard little bits and pieces of it. So here 46 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:36,120 we go. 47 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 2: Well, if I didn't align myself with both of them, 48 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:40,719 you'd never have a deal. 49 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: So he was asked, are you essentially aligning yourself with 50 00:02:44,599 --> 00:02:47,759 Vladimir Putin of Russia? And so that's what Trump is 51 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,879 responding to. He's like, if I didn't align myself with 52 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,400 both of them, you're not going to get a deal. 53 00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 2: He want me to say really terrible things about Putin 54 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,199 and then say, Hi, Vladimir, how are we doing on 55 00:02:58,319 --> 00:02:58,639 the deal? 56 00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 3: That doesn't work that way. I'm not aligned with Putin. 57 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:02,960 I'm not aligned with anybody. 58 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 2: I'm aligned with the United States of America and for 59 00:03:05,719 --> 00:03:08,919 the good of the world, I'm aligned with the world, 60 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,960 and I want to get this thing over with. You 61 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,240 see the hatred he's got for a Putin. That's very 62 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,000 tough for me to make a deal with that kind 63 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,879 of Hey, he's got tremendous hatred and I understand that. 64 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,599 But I can tell you the other side isn't exactly 65 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:25,360 in love with you know him, either, So it's not 66 00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:27,960 a question of alignment I have to. I'm aligned with 67 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,680 the world. I want to get the thing set. I'm 68 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,120 aligned with Europe. I want to see if we can 69 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,080 get this thing done. You want me to be tough. 70 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,520 I could be tougher than any human being you've ever seen. 71 00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:42,479 I'd be so tough. But you're never going to get 72 00:03:42,479 --> 00:03:44,520 a deal that way. So that's the way it goes. 73 00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:48,159 Speaker 3: I one more question, I would respond to this. 74 00:03:48,199 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 4: So look, for four years the United States of America, 75 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,560 we had a president who stood up at press conferences 76 00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:57,280 and talked tough about Vladimir Putin, and then Putin invaded 77 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,759 Ukraine and destroyed a significant chunk of the country. The 78 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,560 path to peace and the path to prosperity is maybe 79 00:04:04,639 --> 00:04:09,360 engaging in diplomacy. We tried the pathway of Joe Biden, 80 00:04:09,479 --> 00:04:12,599 of thumping our chest and pretending that the President of 81 00:04:12,639 --> 00:04:15,800 the United States's words mattered more than the President of 82 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,480 the United States's actions. What makes America a good country 83 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,439 is America engaging in diplomacy. 84 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,399 Speaker 3: That's what President Trump is doing. Can I ask you sure? 85 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, okay, So. 86 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 6: Our big parts of Ukraine, parts of East and Crimea. 87 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:42,839 So he occupied it on twenty fifteen. So during a 88 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,319 lot of years. I'm not speaking about Jus Biden, but 89 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:50,319 those time was Obama, then President Obama, then President Trump, 90 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,879 then President Biden, now the President Trump and God bless. 91 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,439 Now President Trump will stop him. But during twenty fifteen, 92 00:04:57,519 --> 00:05:01,680 nobody stopped him. He just occupied took he killed people. 93 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,279 You know what the contact twenty fifteen, twenty. 94 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:10,759 Speaker 5: Fourty so he killed that here, yeah, by the second right, yes, 95 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:16,000 But during twenty fourteen until twenty twenty two, what the 96 00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:19,519 situation the same that people have been dying on the 97 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:20,480 contact line. 98 00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:22,879 Speaker 3: Nobody stopped him. You know that. 99 00:05:22,959 --> 00:05:26,079 Speaker 6: We had conversations with him, a lot of conversations, my 100 00:05:26,199 --> 00:05:30,480 bilateral conversation, and we signed with him, me like a 101 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,319 new president. In twenty nineteen, I signed with him the 102 00:05:34,439 --> 00:05:38,600 deal I signed with him. Macron and Mayor kill we 103 00:05:38,759 --> 00:05:43,439 signed ceasefire, ceasefire. All of them told me that he 104 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,519 will never go. We signed him with guess contract. 105 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: Guess contract, yes, but the gas contract. 106 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 3: He broke the cease fire. 107 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 6: He killed our people and he didn't exchange prisoners. We 108 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,519 signed the exchange of prisoners, but he didn't do it. 109 00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:04,439 What kind of diplomacy gg us became involved? What what do. 110 00:06:04,439 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 2: You, what do you mean. 111 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,319 Speaker 4: I'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to 112 00:06:08,399 --> 00:06:08,680 end the. 113 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 3: Destruction of your country. 114 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 4: But mister President, mister President, with respect, I think it's 115 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,920 disrespectful for you to come into the Oval Office to 116 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,000 try to litigate this in front of the American media. 117 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,600 Right now, you guys are going around and forcing conscripts 118 00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:23,519 to the front lines because you have manpower problems.

Alrighty, So let me 215 00:11:11,799 --> 00:11:13,440 get to a couple of emails here. From what we 216 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,679 have heard so far, there is more Trump meeting with Zelenski, 217 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,759 Kirk says Pete. If nothing else, there's been more transparency 218 00:11:22,799 --> 00:11:24,840 in the first month and a half than in the 219 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,279 entire three terms of Obama three terms, because that would 220 00:11:29,279 --> 00:11:33,960 be Obama and then Joe. Yeah. I mean that's the thing, 221 00:11:34,039 --> 00:11:36,360 Like you would you have preferred them to sit there 222 00:11:36,399 --> 00:11:40,559 in front of the fireplace just say nice things about 223 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,279 each other and then have Trump lean over and you 224 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,159 know say, by the way, tell your boss Vladimir Putin. Well, 225 00:11:48,159 --> 00:11:49,559 I guess this would be if he was meeting with 226 00:11:49,639 --> 00:11:51,919 you know, Medvidyev like Obama didn He says, ah, more 227 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,759 flexibility after the election. You know, do you want that 228 00:11:54,879 --> 00:11:57,000 kind of stuff going on? Trump is just he's just 229 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:02,039 all out there. It's just like not hiding anything. This 230 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:07,440 is like, this is what I'm here for. Dennis says, 231 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,399 if this meeting continues the way it started, I would 232 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,360 expect the White House to go to pay per view 233 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:17,720 to decrease the national debt. They could make some money. 234 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,399 John saying, wow, JD coming in hot off the top rope. 235 00:12:23,519 --> 00:12:28,120 The only missing was jd uh okay saying shut your 236 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,320 I'll just say shut your mouth, all right, So let's 237 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:37,200 pick it back up. Trump Zelenski in the gold chairs 238 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,200 in front of the fireplace. Media gathered all around, and 239 00:12:41,279 --> 00:12:43,759 now they're yelling at each other. Trump has got the 240 00:12:43,799 --> 00:12:47,759 finger pointing going in Zelenski's face, saying you have no 241 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:52,240 cards to play. Zelenski's like, oh, we are not playing cards. 242 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,639 And I don't know if the maybe the idiom doesn't 243 00:12:54,639 --> 00:12:58,440 translate very well. But Trump is like, you're gambling with 244 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,279 World War three, and I think he's right on that. 245 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:07,679 By the way, so here again, I haven't heard all 246 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,960 of this, so we're both hearing it for the first time. 247 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 2: You didn't have our military equipment, this war would have 248 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,639 been over in two weeks. 249 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,559 Speaker 3: In three days. I heard it from Putin in three days. 250 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,639 This is how maybe less in two weeks. Of course. Yeah, 251 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,240 it's going to be a very hard thing to do 252 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:24,159 business like this. 253 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 2: You say, thank you, I said it except for American. 254 00:13:29,879 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 4: Except that there are disagreements, and let's go litigate those 255 00:13:33,159 --> 00:13:36,480 disagreements rather than trying to fight it out of the American. 256 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 3: Media when you're wrong. We know that you're wrong. 257 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,799 Speaker 2: But you see, I think it's good for the American 258 00:13:40,799 --> 00:13:41,960 people to see what's going on. 259 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 3: I think it's very important. That's why I kept this 260 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,360 going so long. You have to be thankful you don't 261 00:13:48,399 --> 00:13:49,120 have the cars. 262 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 2: You're buried there, your people that die tell you you're 263 00:13:53,159 --> 00:13:57,080 running low on soldiers. Listen, you're running slow on soldiers. 264 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,679 It would be a damn goodness. And then then you 265 00:13:59,759 --> 00:14:02,159 tell I don't want to cease fire. I don't want 266 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,480 to cease fire. I want to go and I wanted this. Look, 267 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,600 if you could get a ceasefire right now, I tell 268 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,799 you you take it so the bullets stopped flying, and 269 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:11,879 your ment stuff. 270 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 3: Courting kills postmen want to stole the war. But I'm 271 00:14:14,039 --> 00:14:14,919 saying you don't want to see. 272 00:14:15,759 --> 00:14:18,799 Speaker 2: I want to see because you get a ceasefire faster 273 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,200 than any breeds. 274 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 3: Colored people of all just fire what they see. That 275 00:14:22,799 --> 00:14:25,200 wasn't me. That wasn't with me. 276 00:14:25,919 --> 00:14:28,399 Speaker 2: That was with a guy named Biden, who was not 277 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:29,440 a smart person. 278 00:14:29,759 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 3: That was that was excuse me. 279 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 2: That was with Obama, who gave you sheets, and I 280 00:14:35,559 --> 00:14:38,840 gave you javelins. I gave you the javelins to take 281 00:14:38,879 --> 00:14:39,960 out all those tanks. 282 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:41,879 Speaker 3: Obama gave you sheets. 283 00:14:42,759 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 2: In fact, the statement is Obama gave sheets and Trump 284 00:14:46,039 --> 00:14:50,799 gave javelins. You got to be more thankful, because let 285 00:14:50,799 --> 00:14:53,200 me tell you, you don't have the cards. With us, 286 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,919 you have the cards, but without us, you don't have 287 00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:01,679 any cards. He's gonna be a tough deal to make 288 00:15:02,519 --> 00:15:09,320 because the attitudes have to change. What Russia breaks, He. 289 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 3: Said, what are you saying? 290 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 4: She's asking what if Russia brings the ceasefire? 291 00:15:18,759 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 3: Well what if they? What if anything? What if a 292 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,519 bomb drops on your head right now? Okay, what are 293 00:15:24,559 --> 00:15:25,480 the broke it? 294 00:15:25,759 --> 00:15:28,159 Speaker 2: I don't know. They broke it with Biden because Biden 295 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,000 didn't respect him. They didn't respect Obama. They respect me. 296 00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:34,960 Let me tell you, Putin went through a hell of 297 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,919 a lot with me. He went through a phony witch 298 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,279 hunt where they used him in Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia. 299 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,159 You ever hear of that deal? There was a phony 300 00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:48,080 that was a phony, Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, scam, Hillary Clinton, 301 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,759 shifty Adam Schiff who was a Democrat scam, and he 302 00:15:52,799 --> 00:15:55,159 had to go through that, and he did go through it. 303 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,799 Speaker 3: We didn't end up in a war. And he went 304 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,879 through it. He was accused of all that stuff. Hit 305 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:00,840 nothing to do with it. 306 00:16:00,799 --> 00:16:04,799 Speaker 2: It came out of Hunter Biden's bathroom. It came out 307 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:09,840 of Hunter Biden's bedroom. It was disgusting. And then they said, 308 00:16:09,919 --> 00:16:14,080 oh oh, the laptop from Hell was made by Russia, 309 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,279 the fifty one agents. The whole thing was a scam 310 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:19,759 and he had to put up with that he was 311 00:16:19,799 --> 00:16:23,200 being accused of all that stuff. All I can say 312 00:16:23,279 --> 00:16:27,480 is this, he might have broken deals with Obama and Bush, 313 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,600 and he might have broken them with Biden. 314 00:16:29,639 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 3: He did maybe maybe he did. 315 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 2: I don't know what happened, but he didn't break him 316 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:33,559 with me. 317 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 3: He wants to make a deal. 318 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 2: I don't know if you can make a deal. The 319 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,759 problem is I've empowered you to be a tough guy, 320 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,000 and I don't think you'd be a tough guy without 321 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,080 the United States. And your people are very brave. But 322 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,440 you're either going to make a deal or we're out, 323 00:16:49,639 --> 00:16:52,960 and if we're out, you'll fight it out. I don't 324 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,000 think it's going to be pretty all right. 325 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,399 Speaker 1: I'm gonna stop it there because I got to go 326 00:16:56,399 --> 00:16:59,120 to the news, all right.

It was supposed 349 00:18:08,839 --> 00:18:11,759 to be at one o'clock.

The press comes in, ask 352 00:18:17,519 --> 00:18:21,000 a couple questions, they get shuttled out. It degenerated into 353 00:18:21,039 --> 00:18:25,519 a shouting match between Zelenski and Trump, along with JD. Vance. 354 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,119 That's the third voice you heard on the on the 355 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,680 audio there, the one o'clock news conference has apparently been canceled, 356 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:38,880 and we're seeing the motorcade has now the Ukrainian's motorcade 357 00:18:39,079 --> 00:18:41,720 has now come up to the West wing, and the 358 00:18:41,839 --> 00:18:46,519 report is that they've been kicked out of the White 359 00:18:46,519 --> 00:18:53,480 House now and then well here, I'll just let me 360 00:18:53,519 --> 00:18:55,880 go back to the audio because they're not This is 361 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,920 not done. I don't know how much longer we have 362 00:18:58,079 --> 00:19:05,000 on this in this exchange. This occurred now, probably it 363 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,200 started about an hour ago. We're just listening in real 364 00:19:08,279 --> 00:19:13,519 time to it because it is something I've never seen 365 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:18,440 or heard before. I doubt anybody alive has this kind 366 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:23,480 of interaction between a foreign leader and the American president 367 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,880 in the Oval office in front of the media. And 368 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:32,759 it all started because Zelensky came in asking about security guarantees, 369 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,039 and that's what prompted Trump. You heard him say, you 370 00:19:36,079 --> 00:19:40,160 know you're gambling with World War three. Oh no, my 371 00:19:40,279 --> 00:19:43,599 device just ran into a problem and it needs to restart. 372 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,480 That's never happened before. So I guess we're not going 373 00:19:46,519 --> 00:19:49,400 to listen to any of the audio. Is it rebooting? 374 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,839 It is rebooting that was very weird. I wonder why 375 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:57,079 my laptop just completely went belly up there. I hope 376 00:19:57,079 --> 00:20:01,880 I'm not hacked. Wait a minute, I was talking about 377 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:09,519 the intelligence community in the first hour. Is this is 378 00:20:09,559 --> 00:20:11,839 this the NSA? Are you guys? Are you taking over 379 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,200 my computer here? Is that what's happening here? Just let 380 00:20:14,279 --> 00:20:16,200 me know if I mean, if that's the case, just 381 00:20:16,279 --> 00:20:18,319 shut it down again, if that's what y'all are doing, 382 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,319 and then I'll know, or just you know, write me 383 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:27,240 an email for my own account something like that. Uh yeah, 384 00:20:27,279 --> 00:20:30,400 I'm not going to be able to probably find the 385 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,759 spot in this audio quickly enough. Yes, I know my 386 00:20:34,799 --> 00:20:37,240 computers shut down and probably it is now it's it's 387 00:20:37,279 --> 00:20:40,720 booted back up, but I am aware. No, I cannot 388 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,240 open the the c span back up. But there's a 389 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,400 apparently there's a reporter named Brian Glenn. I don't know 390 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:55,880 who this guy is. Let me see here, because he 391 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,799 asked Zelenski the very question that I have been asking 392 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,960 for a very long time. He uh, yeah, here it is. 393 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,279 I got it, all right, Brian Glenn. 394 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,519 Speaker 2: Second quit my second question for president? 395 00:21:08,799 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 3: Do you ever why don't you wear a suit? Why 396 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,799 don't you wear a suit. You're the highest level in 397 00:21:14,839 --> 00:21:15,400 this country. 398 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:16,039 Speaker 2: Is all for the same. 399 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 3: You refuse to wear a suit. I just want to 400 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,000 see if you do own a suit. Yes, yeah, problems. 401 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,599 A lot of Americans have problems with you. I don't have. 402 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,519 Speaker 6: I will wear quotum after this war, we'll finish. Yes, 403 00:21:30,759 --> 00:21:35,160 maybe maybe something, Maybe it's something like yours. Yes, maybe 404 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,240 it's something better. I don't know. 405 00:21:37,799 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 3: We will see. 406 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 6: Maybe it's something cheaper than yeah. 407 00:21:41,799 --> 00:21:42,759 Speaker 3: Thank you. 408 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 1: So no answer for that. He has no answer for 409 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,960 why he won't wear a suit. That's not Although I 410 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,480 don't know if this is after hashing it out as 411 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,839 he just did with with the president. I don't know 412 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,799 if if he was in a mood to answer that question, 413 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,400 but I think it's a fair question. The guy never 414 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,200 wears a suit. He came into the Memory, came into 415 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,759 the House of Representatives, he came before Congress, remember, and 416 00:22:10,839 --> 00:22:14,400 he didn't wear a suit for that either. And I'm sorry, 417 00:22:14,519 --> 00:22:18,079 but it is a sign of disrespect. I feel like 418 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,400 I do. Everybody else is wearing suits and ties. There's 419 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,279 a dress code, and you're the only person like in 420 00:22:25,319 --> 00:22:28,119 the world that gets to come in And well, I 421 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,079 shouldn't say that I shouldn't say that because there's probably 422 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,440 like if they have people from like Middle Eastern countries, 423 00:22:35,519 --> 00:22:38,559 they come in sometimes and they're wearing the I don't 424 00:22:38,599 --> 00:22:41,920 know what they're called. I was gonna say dresses, but 425 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,279 I know they don't. That's I don't mean to be insulting. 426 00:22:44,319 --> 00:22:46,720 I don't know what the term robes that's better, maybe 427 00:22:46,759 --> 00:22:53,400 better word like they're wearing robes right there. So is 428 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:58,680 this like the Ukrainian like cultural garb that I'm wearing. 429 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:03,119 He's he's wearing the sweat and the fatigue pants, he's 430 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,240 wearing those. He did say the word costume. I mean 431 00:23:07,279 --> 00:23:10,880 I didn't I didn't want to say costume. He said 432 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,319 the word costume, but he was talking about costume like 433 00:23:13,559 --> 00:23:15,799 you're wearing a suit, like that's a costume. So I 434 00:23:16,759 --> 00:23:18,480 don't know, that's not a very good He did not 435 00:23:18,519 --> 00:23:20,519 have a good answer for that. But I do have 436 00:23:20,559 --> 00:23:22,400 to wonder if that's the first time he's ever been 437 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:27,920 asked that question. I feel like it's a good question. 438 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,240 I mean, like I'm in a point now. All right, 439 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,880 look let me throw this out there. Okay, let me 440 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:42,799 throw you out my conspiracy theory. Is it possible that 441 00:23:46,759 --> 00:23:51,680 while the feelings are real, the frustrations are real. Right, 442 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,200 this does make it appear that Ukraine has to be 443 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:04,400 dragged to the negotiation table, right, that Trump is strong 444 00:24:04,559 --> 00:24:10,400 arming Ukraine? Okay, And if that's the case, does that 445 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,839 make Putin more willing to come to the table because 446 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,559 Putin doesn't have to I'm not sure. People. I know 447 00:24:16,599 --> 00:24:17,880 there are a lot of people out there that are, like, 448 00:24:18,519 --> 00:24:21,480 you know, Putin's losing this war. He's not. The Russians 449 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,960 are not the Russians. I heard the stat the other day, 450 00:24:25,079 --> 00:24:31,480 like the amount of bodies that Russia threw at the Nazis, millions, 451 00:24:32,279 --> 00:24:37,519 millions of people slaughtered in World War Two. On the 452 00:24:37,599 --> 00:24:45,400 Russian side. They have nuclear weapons as well. Right, they 453 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,000 had a lot of problems. Russian military still has a 454 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,759 lot of problems. They've adapted. In fact, if you want 455 00:24:50,759 --> 00:24:53,519 a good analysis, this is where I heard it actually Triggernometry. 456 00:24:54,319 --> 00:24:58,680 They had Eric Prince, the guy who founded Blackwater, and 457 00:24:58,759 --> 00:25:04,039 he breaks down what's going on on the battlefield with 458 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:10,359 Russia and Ukraine. And if Russia wants to wipe Ukraine 459 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:17,119 completely off the map, they could do so. And I 460 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,359 feel like people are overlooking that. In a lot of 461 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,720 this stuff. And so if you're trying to create a 462 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:27,759 lane for Putin to come to the table, not lose face, 463 00:25:28,839 --> 00:25:36,359 and stop the war on his side for however long, 464 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,039 I don't know whatever, I don't know what the terms 465 00:25:38,039 --> 00:25:41,319 of the deal look like. But does this help get 466 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:47,400 them to that point? Like Zelensky came here, so obviously 467 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:48,920 there was a thought that there was some sort of 468 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,640 a deal to be had. Now I don't know if 469 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,880 they still can, if that what we just saw there 470 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,799 is now ruined all of it, I don't know. But 471 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,880 if you're asking the Americans to be sort of the 472 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,200 the negotiator in the middle, this mediator between Russia and Ukraine, 473 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,240 Russia's not going to be willing to listen to anything 474 00:26:08,279 --> 00:26:11,519 America has to say if we're literally arming their opponent 475 00:26:11,599 --> 00:26:15,079 in the conflict.

If he 524 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,599 was speaking in front of the Congress, do you think 525 00:28:39,599 --> 00:28:40,319 he'd wear a suit. 526 00:28:41,559 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 8: I'm just pointing out the mistake that you made. 527 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,119 Speaker 1: Which is which is the mistake?

I mean, 537 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,519 I got time. So I'm not done with your first point. 538 00:29:11,559 --> 00:29:13,599 So your first point is that what about Elon? 539 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,519 Speaker 8: My first point is that you are criticizing Zelenski, and 540 00:29:18,559 --> 00:29:20,759 I believe that he is sending a message to the 541 00:29:20,839 --> 00:29:22,960 world that he is in battle. 542 00:29:23,119 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: Okay, So that's always where. 543 00:29:24,599 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 8: What he's wearing, because he is sending a message to 544 00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:29,000 the world that I am in battle. Okay, And I 545 00:29:29,039 --> 00:29:29,799 love him for that. 546 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,319 Speaker 1: Okay. So you love him for the fact that he 547 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,359 refuses to wear a suit when he comes to the 548 00:29:34,359 --> 00:29:37,799 Oval office. But do you find a disrespectful that Elon 549 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:38,519 Musk didn't? 550 00:29:39,839 --> 00:29:40,519 Speaker 8: Absolutely? 551 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,279 Speaker 1: Okay, So why do you have a why do you 552 00:29:42,319 --> 00:29:44,440 have a So why do you have a double standard? 553 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 8: One is a US citizen who works for the president 554 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,839 who should respect the office. 555 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:55,839 Speaker 1: And Zelensky is not someone who should respect the office. 556 00:29:56,599 --> 00:29:59,799 Speaker 8: He respected the office. He doesn't need to do so 557 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,680 wearing a suit. I don't think I've ever seen him 558 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:03,240 in a suit. 559 00:30:03,319 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 1: No, that's what, and that's why the reporter asked him. Okay, 560 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:07,920 and that's what and I think and and that's why, 561 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,759 that's why everybody's asking. So I think you playing the 562 00:30:10,759 --> 00:30:14,799 what about game with Elon Musk. You like you're trying 563 00:30:14,799 --> 00:30:16,680 to hold it up or assert it, although you haven't 564 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,799 explicitly said it, but I sense that's that that this 565 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,240 is the beef is that there's a double standard for 566 00:30:21,359 --> 00:30:25,039 Zelenski versus Musk, that that Zelenski gets criticized for not 567 00:30:25,079 --> 00:30:27,640 wearing a suit in the Oval office, but Musk doesn't 568 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,960 get criticized for that. And I would just point out 569 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,720 that you too have the same double standard, but in reverse. 570 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,119 That's all good. So if you're done with that point, 571 00:30:39,119 --> 00:30:41,039 we can move to that and we could disagree on that, 572 00:30:41,599 --> 00:30:44,759 but that that we disagree. Yeah, that's fine. You're okay 573 00:30:44,799 --> 00:30:46,039 with some double standards. 574 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 8: No, I'm not. 575 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: I yeah you are. 576 00:30:48,519 --> 00:30:50,359 Speaker 8: It's not a double standard, Sure it is. No, it's 577 00:30:50,359 --> 00:30:54,079 not a double standard. Of course it is because neither 578 00:30:54,119 --> 00:30:55,599 because one is a US citizen. 579 00:30:55,759 --> 00:30:58,759 Speaker 1: That's the line, and that's the line that's the line, 580 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,039 is the line being a US citizen. 581 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:07,039 Speaker 8: That's right, because in Saudi Arabia, in Saudi Arabia, when 582 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:11,000 our US leaders met in order to resolve a dispute 583 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,960 involving Ukraine, and Ukraine wasn't even present. Were those Saudi 584 00:31:15,079 --> 00:31:16,559 leaders wearing a suit. 585 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 1: They weren't in the Oval Office, they were in Saudi Arabia. 586 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 8: That doesn't matter. 587 00:31:21,279 --> 00:31:24,519 Speaker 1: Well, absolutely, it matters. It absolutely matters. 588 00:31:24,559 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 8: So you're telling me that those Saudi leaders, if they 589 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,400 come to the United States are gonna wear suits. 590 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: Some do, of course not, some know, Andy, Andy, some do, 591 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,119 sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. And in fact, if 592 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,799 you were listening, and if you were listening, I literally 593 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:44,119 said that. I literally pointed out that other leaders come 594 00:31:44,279 --> 00:31:47,680 and when they are dressed up in their cultural heritage attire, 595 00:31:48,119 --> 00:31:51,160 then that's appropriate. This is not a cultural or heritage 596 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,160 attire though, as you said, and I agree with you, 597 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,799 by the way, I agree with you that his attires, 598 00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:01,039 Zelenski's attire is meant to convey this image that he's 599 00:32:01,039 --> 00:32:03,839 fighting in war, and so that's why he keeps wearing 600 00:32:04,559 --> 00:32:07,480 the same outfit all the time as if he is 601 00:32:07,839 --> 00:32:10,720 in war. I literally said all of those things. 602 00:32:13,559 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 8: Second point, what would the world be saying today if 603 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:23,440 everything were switched and Kamala Harris had retained George Soros 604 00:32:23,599 --> 00:32:26,240 to do everything that Elon Musk is doing. 605 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 1: Question for you, So George Soros would not be trying 606 00:32:29,519 --> 00:32:32,000 to save taxpayer money, he would be spending. 607 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 8: Okay, assume George Soros takes the responsibility and the authority 608 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,480 that Elon Musk has. What would you be saying about 609 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:42,240 what authority? 610 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: So I can tell Andy, I can tell you what 611 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,680 I would say because I have been saying it because 612 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,640 the Democrat Party has already done that. They've been doing 613 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:50,799 it for a very long time. 614 00:32:52,359 --> 00:32:52,559 Speaker 3: See. 615 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,039 Speaker 1: But the difference is is that Soros, by the way, 616 00:32:56,079 --> 00:32:58,440 would he wear a suit? Is he a citizen? Never Mind, 617 00:32:58,599 --> 00:33:02,759 the the Soros example is not going to make the 618 00:33:02,839 --> 00:33:06,440 point you think it makes because George Soros has anti 619 00:33:06,559 --> 00:33:11,960 American sentiment behind his uh his expressions of power, Whereas 620 00:33:12,039 --> 00:33:15,319 Musk is going in there to try to save the 621 00:33:15,359 --> 00:33:18,559 taxpayer dollars because he recognizes we are on a path 622 00:33:18,599 --> 00:33:19,880 to economic collapse. 623 00:33:21,119 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 8: Now he is going in there to make himself even 624 00:33:24,039 --> 00:33:24,960 more rich. 625 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: Because he is I know, that's what the left says. 626 00:33:27,039 --> 00:33:30,599 Speaker 8: The government, and he's going to deregulate that. He's gonna 627 00:33:30,599 --> 00:33:33,839 deregulate Crypto so that he is able to make millions 628 00:33:33,839 --> 00:33:34,319 of when. 629 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,079 Speaker 1: He does that, Andy, when he does Andy, when he 630 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,400 when he attempts to do that sort of stuff. I 631 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,680 think you'll have a point. But right now you're just 632 00:33:40,759 --> 00:33:41,480 making up stuff. 633 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:42,279 Speaker 8: He's already done it. 634 00:33:42,319 --> 00:33:45,799 Speaker 1: Now he deregulated Crypto. He deregulated Crypto. 635 00:33:46,799 --> 00:33:50,079 Speaker 8: No, No, my first point about his contract with the 636 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,319 United States government in order to facilitate communication. 637 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Starling deal. Well, and why was that and 638 00:33:57,119 --> 00:33:57,920 why was that? 639 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 8: That is a that is a conflict of interest that 640 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,680 he should he should either get out of his own businesses, 641 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,279 get out of all of them, or he should he 642 00:34:05,279 --> 00:34:07,319 should get out of that contract because it's a clear 643 00:34:07,319 --> 00:34:09,960 conflict of interest because he is it a conflict of dollars. 644 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,320 Speaker 1: So would it be so would it be a conflict 645 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:19,679 of interest for all of the uh the NGOs that 646 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,599 George Soros has funded, right to get all of those 647 00:34:24,039 --> 00:34:25,800 contracts that they have been getting the. 648 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,679 Speaker 8: Billion absolutely positively done. 649 00:34:30,039 --> 00:34:32,519 Speaker 1: So when Elon comes in and finds them, So, when 650 00:34:32,519 --> 00:34:35,079 Elon's team comes in and they find all of the stuff, 651 00:34:35,079 --> 00:34:37,639 and they're rooting out all of the the waste, fraud 652 00:34:37,639 --> 00:34:40,199 and abuse and all of the people that have been 653 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:44,840 revolving through Democrats politics and elected office and going to 654 00:34:45,079 --> 00:34:48,000 NGOs getting the government contracts and kind of recycling through 655 00:34:48,079 --> 00:34:50,880 over and over again. You think all of that in 656 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,239 the Democrat Party infrastructure is all conflict of interest? 657 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,159 Speaker 8: Well, oh, I forgot. I didn't realize that George Soros 658 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:00,719 was work for administration. 659 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,119 Speaker 1: No, they worked for him. They worked for him. Did 660 00:35:04,159 --> 00:35:07,800 you not see? Did you not see that he doesn't 661 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,880 they work for him? 662 00:35:11,039 --> 00:35:14,440 Speaker 8: Now when was no employee of the administration. 663 00:35:14,639 --> 00:35:18,119 Speaker 1: Elon Musk isn't an employee. Elon Musk is not an employee. 664 00:35:18,119 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 8: Oh, thank you very much. 665 00:35:21,079 --> 00:35:29,159 Speaker 1: Is welcome. No, he's not an employee. Just Andy, your Andy, Andy, No, Andy, 666 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,559 he isn't. He's donating his time and his expertise and 667 00:35:32,599 --> 00:35:35,599 his service and his teams and stuff. He's not drawing 668 00:35:35,639 --> 00:35:37,719 a paycheck for any of this. And you're saying he's 669 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,840 going to make all of the money later, and this 670 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,599 is all what's going to happen. I deal with the 671 00:35:41,639 --> 00:35:44,280 stuff that has occurred that I know has occurred, that 672 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,079 we can prove has occurred, and you don't have any 673 00:35:46,079 --> 00:35:47,800 of the proof of any of that. And the FAA 674 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,960 thing or the uh the starlink deal that you're talking 675 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,800 about was actually due to a the collapse of a 676 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,960 of a comm system and that's what he is offering 677 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,239 to replace Elon. He did this in Western We're to 678 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,039 Carolina as well, and I'm up against the news. But 679 00:36:03,199 --> 00:36:06,519 like your hatred of Elon is noted, your double standard 680 00:36:06,559 --> 00:36:08,760 for the dress code is noted. I appreciate the call. 681 00:36:10,039 --> 00:36:12,360 All right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank you 682 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,440 so much for listening.
