WEBVTT - Putin's Diesel 0:00:00.150 --> 0:00:07.430 Okay, just very, very quickly, because we've got full phone lines, 617-266-6868. 0:00:08.010 --> 0:00:12.930 Listen now to Trump. He's now asked by reporters, will 0:00:12.970 --> 0:00:16.500 Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, are they going to go to 0:00:16.570 --> 0:00:19.360 Moscow to make a deal to end the war, like 0:00:19.390 --> 0:00:22.779 just to end this thing? And listen to Trump's response, 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:29.960 saying Putin is open to a deal. It's Zelensky who isn't. 0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:38.010 Roll cut to a mic. Are you going to send 0:00:38.060 --> 0:00:41.229 Jared Kushner and Steve Wentzoff to Moscow to talk to 0:00:41.330 --> 0:00:42.550 Putin again? 0:00:42.610 --> 0:00:45.130 Well, I think that Russia would. 0:00:44.990 --> 0:00:45.970 Like to make a deal. 0:00:46.930 --> 0:00:49.990 And we've had it back and forth, but Russia would like. 0:00:49.870 --> 0:00:50.570 To make a deal. 0:00:51.430 --> 0:00:54.170 But as I said, this is something that could have 0:00:54.190 --> 0:00:59.500 been solved Many times, but for whatever reason, Zelensky does. 0:00:59.380 --> 0:01:00.380 Not want to make a deal. 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:03.280 And if you look at the odds, you know, you're 0:01:03.300 --> 0:01:08.060 talking about millions more soldiers on one side than the other. 0:01:09.030 --> 0:01:11.090 I think it would have been smart if he would 0:01:11.110 --> 0:01:13.750 have made a deal two years ago. 0:01:13.770 --> 0:01:14.610 It would have been a lot. 0:01:14.650 --> 0:01:17.790 He would have been a lot better off. He could 0:01:17.810 --> 0:01:19.770 have made a much better deal two years ago. 0:01:20.890 --> 0:01:23.470 He's completely right. By the way, when he says millions 0:01:23.530 --> 0:01:26.890 more soldiers on one side, he means Russia. In other words, 0:01:26.930 --> 0:01:30.149 he's saying, look, the Russians can keep pouring soldiers and 0:01:30.209 --> 0:01:35.350 men into this for years and years. Ukraine is being depopulated. 0:01:36.569 --> 0:01:38.590 By the way, just so that you know, because you 0:01:38.610 --> 0:01:43.500 need to hear this. When Ukraine won its independence, again, 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:47.300 thanks to the United States, because we won the Cold War, 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:51.510 the Soviet Union collapsed. Ukraine then got a chance. at 0:01:51.570 --> 0:01:55.660 having their own independent state. So in 1991, when they 0:01:55.690 --> 0:02:02.960 became independent, 91, 92, Ukraine had a population of 52 million. 0:02:05.020 --> 0:02:08.930 When the war broke out, they had a population of 0:02:09.110 --> 0:02:16.210 under 45 million. Now their population, it depends on who 0:02:16.230 --> 0:02:19.450 you look to, the government has certain numbers, NGOs have 0:02:19.510 --> 0:02:26.160 other numbers. You're roughly looking at 23, 22 million. So 0:02:26.820 --> 0:02:31.960 in the last 30 years, Ukraine has gone from 52 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:39.290 million to basically ballpark 22 million. From the war, they've 0:02:39.310 --> 0:02:45.179 gone from 45 million to 22 million. Now, a lot 0:02:45.220 --> 0:02:49.850 of those have been maimed, killed because of the war, 0:02:50.290 --> 0:02:56.070 but the overwhelming majority are refugees who fled the fighting 0:02:56.650 --> 0:03:01.239 into neighboring Poland or into Germany or England or France 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:04.179 or Italy or other parts of Europe and, of course, 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:08.700 to the United States and Canada. And most of them 0:03:08.740 --> 0:03:13.530 have been gone now for almost five years now. They 0:03:13.570 --> 0:03:18.730 have jobs. They have resettled. Their children are going to school, say, 0:03:18.750 --> 0:03:21.489 in Poland or in Germany or in Italy or here 0:03:21.530 --> 0:03:27.310 in the United States. They've established roots. Most of them 0:03:27.730 --> 0:03:29.970 are not going to go back, even if the war 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:33.220 ends today, which it won't, but even if it did today. 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.960 So you're looking now at a country that only 30 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:43.290 years ago had $ 52 million in Now they're lucky if 0:03:43.350 --> 0:03:47.470 it's going to be 20 million. This is what I 0:03:47.530 --> 0:03:52.900 mean when I say Ukraine is dying. It's being depopulated 0:03:53.070 --> 0:03:58.020 in front of our eyes. And as Trump said, he's 0:03:58.220 --> 0:04:02.160 completely correct. What did they get for the last two 0:04:02.180 --> 0:04:05.720 years of fighting? Nothing. They didn't gain back an inch 0:04:05.780 --> 0:04:09.330 of territory. In fact, they lost more territory. But look 0:04:09.370 --> 0:04:13.420 how many more people are dead. crippled, maimed, have fled 0:04:13.460 --> 0:04:18.300 the country. More of the economy and infrastructure has been 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:22.420 shattered and destroyed. More cities and towns leveled to the ground. 0:04:24.820 --> 0:04:26.540 You know, he goes, if he had half a brain, 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:28.380 he would have made a deal two years ago. 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:29.400 Of course. 0:04:32.020 --> 0:04:35.859 Let me just play one more. Listen now to President 0:04:35.900 --> 0:04:42.690 Trump saying, I'm telling you, Putin is ready to sign 0:04:42.710 --> 0:04:48.010 a deal. The problem is no longer Russia. The problem 0:04:48.290 --> 0:04:59.180 is Zelensky midget man. Roll cut to A, Mike. Sorry, Mike, 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:02.700 my bad. No, no, my bad. Roll cut to B, 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:07.529 to B. Sorry about that. What did President Putin tell 0:05:07.650 --> 0:05:09.599 you on the phone call the other day? 0:05:09.630 --> 0:05:13.130 He'd like to see a settlement. President Putin would like 0:05:13.180 --> 0:05:16.740 to see a settlement strongly. And look, he's freeing up 0:05:16.820 --> 0:05:18.460 a lot of oil for the world, okay? 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:20.159 That's a good thing. 0:05:20.220 --> 0:05:22.140 And by the way, at a very low price. 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:28.240 The job of a president is to put the interests 0:05:28.540 --> 0:05:33.630 of his people and his nation first. And the American 0:05:33.710 --> 0:05:39.320 public need relief at the pump. Our farmers need relief 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:44.800 from high diesel. So obviously do the truckers, ranchers, and we, 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:50.080 the American people, consumers. Putin and Russia have a ton 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:53.859 of oil, especially diesel. And they're going to sell it 0:05:53.900 --> 0:05:57.859 to us now at a good low price that is 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:00.550 going to drive down the cost here and all over 0:06:00.580 --> 0:06:04.940 the world. Trump would have been insane not to make 0:06:04.980 --> 0:06:10.430 the deal. And Zelensky has no business telling our president 0:06:11.550 --> 0:06:14.990 who we can and can't make a deal with. Because 0:06:15.050 --> 0:06:20.250 in the end, Ukraine would be nothing. They would be 0:06:20.310 --> 0:06:24.690 a province of Russia now if it wasn't for all 0:06:24.750 --> 0:06:30.169 the aid and military weapons we have given them. This man... 0:06:30.779 --> 0:06:35.500 in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, gay Zelensky, is a crook. 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:41.520 To me, he's clearly a shyster. He is a con man. 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:47.730 And he is a disgusting, disrespectful ingrate. This guy is 0:06:47.770 --> 0:06:53.190 no ally. And I think Trump is right. It's time 0:06:53.250 --> 0:06:57.109 to cut Zelensky off at the knees. Okay, big boy. 0:06:58.130 --> 0:06:59.830 You want to call the shots? You want to be 0:06:59.850 --> 0:07:07.919 the big boy? 617-266-6868 is the number. Okay, very quick reset, 0:07:07.940 --> 0:07:09.440 and I want to go right back to the phones. 0:07:10.020 --> 0:07:15.800 President Trump makes a huge deal with Russia to supply 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:21.990 300,000 metric tons of diesel. both to the United States 0:07:22.170 --> 0:07:26.690 and to world markets right away, immediately. And then about 0:07:26.690 --> 0:07:32.880 500,000 metric tons will be supplied in November. And then 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:37.280 in December, it will be a million metric tons of diesel. 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:41.540 And after that, 3 million. And the reason why he's 0:07:41.580 --> 0:07:46.180 doing this, to lower the price of diesel, to lower inflation, 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:50.950 to lower the price at the pump. But because he's 0:07:50.990 --> 0:07:55.090 made this deal now with Russia, Zelensky lashed out at 0:07:55.130 --> 0:08:00.290 the president publicly, calling him weak, saying he was playing 0:08:00.330 --> 0:08:05.000 into Russia's hands. He's fueling Russia's war machine and war economy. 0:08:05.830 --> 0:08:11.460 And Zelensky severely criticized the president, effectively saying, you have 0:08:11.580 --> 0:08:20.400 betrayed Ukraine. Democrats, establishment Republicans in Congress, are siding with Zelensky. 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:23.520 They say that Trump should never have cut a deal 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:26.880 with Putin on diesel and that he has no right 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:30.840 now to call for Zelensky to be replaced as the 0:08:30.940 --> 0:08:37.300 leader of Ukraine. I disagree, as you know, one million percent. 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.790 The president did what was in the best interest of America. 0:08:41.910 --> 0:08:45.569 That's his job. He had every right and it was 0:08:45.610 --> 0:08:48.599 a good decision to make a deal with Putin. They 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:52.240 have the diesel. We need the diesel. We made a deal. 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.460 And by the way, at a good price, a very 0:08:55.500 --> 0:09:01.610 good price. And we have propped up Zelensky and Ukraine 0:09:01.929 --> 0:09:06.390 for nearly five years. Hundreds and hundreds of billions of 0:09:06.450 --> 0:09:11.830 dollars in financial and military aid. Without us, Ukraine would 0:09:11.850 --> 0:09:15.980 be finished right now. Who the hell is midget man? 0:09:16.420 --> 0:09:19.699 to tell us whether we can or can't make a 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:24.710 deal with any country, never mind with Russia. And let 0:09:24.750 --> 0:09:34.449 me just say one last thing. 617-266-6868. To me, what 0:09:34.510 --> 0:09:40.840 is most galling of all is that this little dictator, 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:52.179 this grifter, this thief, This kleptocrat has stolen so much 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:59.010 of our money that he feels entitled to endless supplies 0:09:59.070 --> 0:10:03.120 of it. You know, when you look at the Iran war, 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:07.340 one of the reasons why we eventually began to run 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:13.559 low on key munitions and interceptors, which we needed for 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:18.980 our war, for our soldiers, for our people fighting there 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:23.709 in Iran, or near Iran, because so much of it 0:10:23.770 --> 0:10:28.660 was given and diverted to Ukraine over many years. We 0:10:28.700 --> 0:10:32.699 gave so much to Ukraine that it actually weakened our 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:40.570 ability to fight Iran and successfully prosecute and win that war. Now, 0:10:40.710 --> 0:10:43.390 I think the blockade may knock them out. We'll see. 0:10:44.210 --> 0:10:47.410 But the point is, we're still there. The war continues 0:10:47.450 --> 0:10:51.360 to go on with Ukraine. This sort of It's now, 0:10:51.420 --> 0:10:54.979 I guess, a quiet war, but it's going to heat 0:10:55.059 --> 0:10:59.000 up very soon. And part of the reasons is we 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:02.960 began to run out. We ran low on munitions. That's 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:07.949 how much we gave to the Ukrainians. And that SOB 0:11:07.970 --> 0:11:14.710 dares to call Trump weak and dares to chastise us 0:11:15.309 --> 0:11:23.869 and lecture us He's got to go. He's got to go. 0:11:24.550 --> 0:11:30.189 And I want elections, but I want one stipulation. When 0:11:30.230 --> 0:11:32.949 Zelensky loses, I'm not saying if, he's going to lose. 0:11:33.410 --> 0:11:37.310 He's going to get destroyed. He can confiscate his private plane. 0:11:38.050 --> 0:11:42.550 He cannot be allowed to leave the country and let 0:11:42.570 --> 0:11:47.030 there be a full investigation into his criminal behavior and 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:50.170 that of his cabal. because he should face trial for 0:11:50.210 --> 0:11:53.630 what he's done. He needs to be exposed, and he 0:11:53.690 --> 0:11:56.290 needs to be held accountable to the people of Ukraine. 0:11:57.460 --> 0:12:02.250 While they've been fighting, bleeding, and dying, this guy has 0:12:02.290 --> 0:12:07.380 been eating caviar and drinking champagne and building and buying 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:16.340 dacha after dacha after dacha. Dan in Plymouth. Thanks for holding, Dan, 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:17.140 and welcome. 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:20.520 Before I get to my comment, I want to wish 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:23.329 you and your listeners happy Indigenous People Day. 0:12:29.059 --> 0:12:31.459 Happy Columbus Day, my friend. 0:12:32.500 --> 0:12:36.929 Oh, I'm triggered. Hey, Jeff, this past summer I happened 0:12:36.970 --> 0:12:41.350 to visit England and I was actually in Clacton for 0:12:41.390 --> 0:12:45.809 a day on the beach and the Brits would pick 0:12:45.850 --> 0:12:49.449 up my accent. They would immediately engage me, usually about politics. 0:12:50.070 --> 0:12:52.600 And I said, and I would point out all those 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.579 wind turbines that were out in the ocean. And I said, 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:58.059 you know, if you had a real leader, you would 0:12:58.100 --> 0:13:01.990 have oil rigs. So you wouldn't have to import Russian oil. 0:13:02.010 --> 0:13:06.910 And that was my point. So the Democrats and RINOs 0:13:07.250 --> 0:13:11.660 are complaining that Trump is cutting a deal to import 0:13:11.780 --> 0:13:17.900 Russian diesel fuel directly, but it's okay for Germany, France, 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:24.730 the UK to buy jet fuel from India and Turkey, 0:13:25.179 --> 0:13:29.110 which is derived from Russian oil. So are you absolved 0:13:29.150 --> 0:13:32.490 from the sin by buying a third-party label, even though 0:13:32.550 --> 0:13:36.170 it's feeding the Russian bear? Brilliant. 0:13:37.630 --> 0:13:41.800 Dan, absolutely brilliant. Look, the Europeans have been buying Russian 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:47.520 oil and natural gas first directly, now indirectly for years 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:51.340 during the entire war. So, you know, if they want 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:55.850 to talk about feeding the war machine and Russia's war economy, 0:13:56.490 --> 0:14:00.810 no one's done it more than the Europeans. So they're 0:14:00.830 --> 0:14:04.460 all a bunch of phonies. when they're going on about Trump, Oh, 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:07.230 dare we buy Russian diesel? Well, the Europeans are buying 0:14:07.260 --> 0:14:10.270 Russian oil and then gas and, and jet fuel. They 0:14:10.290 --> 0:14:12.990 do it first. They did it directly for years. And 0:14:13.030 --> 0:14:16.510 now you're right through third parties. So the money still 0:14:16.590 --> 0:14:18.930 ends up in, you know, in, in Russian bank accounts. 0:14:20.250 --> 0:14:24.500 So that's number one, number two, you know, I gotta say, Dan, 0:14:25.900 --> 0:14:27.940 you know, everyone's going and they're right. I mean, price 0:14:27.980 --> 0:14:29.960 of diesel is very high. The price of gas is 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:33.170 very high. But one of the reasons, yes, it's the 0:14:33.230 --> 0:14:37.630 war in Iran has been a major driver. No question. However, 0:14:38.890 --> 0:14:42.150 a big reason is the lack of refining capacity here 0:14:42.190 --> 0:14:46.080 in the United States. You know, everybody says this to 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:47.770 me and they're right. They go, Jeff, I don't get it. 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:52.380 We're now the biggest oil, natural gas producer in the world, 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:57.250 in the world. We surpass Russia, we surpass Saudi Arabia, 0:14:57.310 --> 0:15:01.960 nobody's even close. So why aren't prices really going down here? 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:09.500 Because we don't have refining capacity. So believe it or not, yes, 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:12.750 we get the oil from the ground, but then we 0:15:12.790 --> 0:15:15.970 have to transport it to other places for it to 0:15:16.010 --> 0:15:20.030 be refined, and then it's brought back to the United States. 0:15:21.930 --> 0:15:26.090 So You know, we haven't built a new refinery. Don't 0:15:26.150 --> 0:15:28.109 quote me on this. What did I read in the 0:15:28.130 --> 0:15:32.350 Wall Street Journal? I think it's like 45 years. May 0:15:32.410 --> 0:15:37.650 even be more than 45 years. Late 70s, early 80s. Okay, 0:15:37.710 --> 0:15:41.840 to be conservative, 40 years. We haven't built a refinery 0:15:41.910 --> 0:15:47.700 in this country in over 40 years. And that's because 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:54.470 of the draconian environmental regulations that Pushed by the Democrats 0:15:54.670 --> 0:15:58.780 and the hard left. So, you know, on the one hand, 0:15:58.820 --> 0:16:01.640 they say, don't buy Russian oil, don't buy Russian diesel. 0:16:02.020 --> 0:16:04.340 But on the other hand, they also say, but don't 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.560 have enough refineries here at home. So you don't have 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:10.300 to buy oil or gas from other countries around the 0:16:10.350 --> 0:16:13.670 world like Russia. Well, if you would just let us 0:16:13.710 --> 0:16:17.450 have our own refining capacity, you know, because you have 0:16:17.510 --> 0:16:20.490 investors that are willing to spend and they're expensive. These 0:16:20.530 --> 0:16:25.470 refineries are very expensive. There's only about 880 around the world. 0:16:26.650 --> 0:16:31.010 That's why every time Ukraine hits one, it affects over 0:16:31.010 --> 0:16:35.420 10 million people. Every strike affects 10 million people because 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:39.760 there's only less than 900 around the world. So you 0:16:39.780 --> 0:16:43.560 take one offline, that's huge. You take two, it's even bigger. 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:48.340 You take three, it's even bigger. So that's why Zelensky 0:16:48.380 --> 0:16:52.770 knows exactly what he's doing. He's hitting those oil refineries 0:16:53.210 --> 0:16:58.979 to drive up the price of oil and gas. On purpose. 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:04.739 Because he knows that hurts Trump. Because he wants the 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:09.540 Democrats to win in November. Because unlike Trump, the Democrats 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:15.470 will give Zelensky a blank check. Just, Z, you put 0:17:15.510 --> 0:17:20.400 the amount you want. Here's the check. So if we 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:25.220 were to build our own refining capacity here, we wouldn't 0:17:25.260 --> 0:17:30.169 have to get oil from anybody. That's why the Green 0:17:30.190 --> 0:17:33.710 New Deal, the climate agenda is so destructive to the 0:17:33.750 --> 0:17:40.109 United States. So we can be completely energy independent and 0:17:40.270 --> 0:17:45.320 energy dominant, but we have to start building refineries here 0:17:45.500 --> 0:17:49.730 in America the sooner the better. Dan, am I wrong? 0:17:51.910 --> 0:17:53.840 Correct. I'd like to make a point, and I have 0:17:53.859 --> 0:18:00.060 a question related. Once this war ends, Zelensky will just say, 0:18:00.100 --> 0:18:03.040 I'm not running for re-election. I did my duty and 0:18:03.060 --> 0:18:04.940 my job and whatever. So he's not going to stand 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:07.360 for election, Jeff. That's why he doesn't really want this 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:11.710 to end. Just an opinion. And I'm a little history bothered. 0:18:11.730 --> 0:18:14.450 I'm not an expert like yourself. But with this new 0:18:14.510 --> 0:18:18.270 deal with Russia, is Trump trying to do what Nixon 0:18:18.290 --> 0:18:21.410 did with China and Russia, trying to split Russia from 0:18:21.470 --> 0:18:25.220 Iran and say, because they were allies before the war. 0:18:26.020 --> 0:18:28.639 So do you think it's just more of a triangulation? 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:31.959 He's trying to pull them away and help us over 0:18:31.980 --> 0:18:34.760 in the middle East by having them get away from 0:18:34.820 --> 0:18:36.219 Iran by cutting deals with us. 0:18:36.970 --> 0:18:40.270 Don't get me wrong, Dan. I only have eyes for 0:18:40.310 --> 0:18:46.150 my wife, but I love you in a non-sexual way, 0:18:46.210 --> 0:18:52.790 my friend. 617-266-6868 is the number. Okay, I want to 0:18:52.910 --> 0:18:55.830 ask all of you so much news made over the weekend. 0:18:57.290 --> 0:19:02.040 Double-barreled question. Number one, what do you make of Trump's 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:06.840 decision to make this deal? It's a big deal with Russia, 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:11.000 Putin in particular, but Russia will now supply the United 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:14.169 States and global markets, not just us. They're going to 0:19:14.190 --> 0:19:18.320 sell it on the world market. 300,000 metric tons of 0:19:18.380 --> 0:19:22.700 diesel fuel. Then it's going to be 500,000 metric tons 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:27.020 in November, a million metric tons the month after. And 0:19:27.060 --> 0:19:32.430 then following that, 3 million metric tons. And that's going 0:19:32.450 --> 0:19:37.290 to be apparently ad infinitum. Every month, 3 million, 3 million, 0:19:37.290 --> 0:19:41.120 3 million, 3 million. So clearly that's going to help 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:44.250 drive down the cost of diesel and I mean, you're 0:19:44.270 --> 0:19:48.610 basically flooding the world market now with Russian diesel. Now, 0:19:48.750 --> 0:19:51.150 it may not come down fast. enough for the midterms 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:55.139 we'll see but there's no question it is going to 0:19:55.180 --> 0:20:01.460 bring prices down good idea bad idea support it don't 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:07.980 support it and number two Zelensky's decision to publicly call 0:20:08.100 --> 0:20:11.910 out and criticize Trump saying he was weak, he never 0:20:11.950 --> 0:20:15.780 should have done it. This was a betrayal. And then 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:23.720 deliberately attacking Russia's oil refineries right after the deal was announced. 0:20:24.990 --> 0:20:29.470 And then again, after Trump publicly came, you know, I 0:20:29.470 --> 0:20:34.590 played the cuts, saying Ukraine needs a new leader. Ukraine 0:20:34.630 --> 0:20:39.870 needs a new president. He clearly doesn't want peace. Zelensky 0:20:39.910 --> 0:20:45.550 then ordered Ukrainian drones and missile strikes on the very 0:20:45.990 --> 0:20:51.150 oil export hub that Russia's diesel is going to be 0:20:51.230 --> 0:20:55.540 supplying us or being exported to us in the United States. 0:20:57.119 --> 0:21:00.379 So it's not just a middle finger to Trump publicly. 0:21:01.500 --> 0:21:04.479 He's like, yeah, you want the Russian diesel? Well, we're 0:21:04.500 --> 0:21:07.410 going to blow it up. And now you're not going 0:21:07.430 --> 0:21:13.090 to get the Russian diesel. Here's my middle finger. Kiss it. 0:21:15.790 --> 0:21:19.490 Is it time for the United States to end all 0:21:19.619 --> 0:21:24.180 support and funding for Ukraine? And is Trump right now 0:21:24.660 --> 0:21:29.919 to publicly urge, even pressure the Ukrainians to hold elections 0:21:30.700 --> 0:21:35.050 and get new leadership? I say yes. What say you? 0:21:36.510 --> 0:21:40.870 Gabriel in Natick. Thanks for holding, Gabriel, and welcome. 0:21:41.970 --> 0:21:47.670 Yes, conservative, super patriot, Christian nationalist. Greetings from the hinterlands 0:21:47.730 --> 0:21:49.389 of Natick, my friend. How are you, Jeff? 0:21:49.790 --> 0:21:51.860 I am very good. How are you, Gabriel? 0:21:53.050 --> 0:21:55.770 Oh, great. I'm just grand. Thank you. And thank you 0:21:55.810 --> 0:21:57.930 so much for taking my call. And by the way, 0:21:58.330 --> 0:22:02.280 I'm a radio talk show radio aficionado. I go back 0:22:02.340 --> 0:22:05.560 to the days of Jerry Williams and Avi Nelson and 0:22:05.619 --> 0:22:08.679 Gene Burns, all the greats and the giants. And I 0:22:08.740 --> 0:22:10.780 think you're at the very top of the list. Even 0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:13.899 as I said before to you, you're even greater than Rush. 0:22:14.460 --> 0:22:16.180 I love you so dearly. 0:22:16.380 --> 0:22:17.370 Geez, Gabriel. 0:22:17.430 --> 0:22:17.730 Wow. 0:22:17.830 --> 0:22:22.139 That's very high praise. Honestly, I don't think I deserve it, 0:22:22.180 --> 0:22:26.920 but I appreciate the compliment. Gabriel, God bless you. And please, 0:22:26.960 --> 0:22:28.080 what's on your mind, my friend? 0:22:30.320 --> 0:22:32.480 God bless you too there, Jeff. Right back at you. 0:22:32.820 --> 0:22:33.830 Yeah. 0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:37.810 Zelensky needs to go. I totally agree with the president 0:22:37.930 --> 0:22:44.689 on that. Zelensky is an impediment to our national recovery 0:22:44.750 --> 0:22:50.750 of our economy. He's actually attempting to interfere with the 0:22:50.790 --> 0:22:54.909 midterm elections, just as he did in 22 and 24. 0:22:54.910 --> 0:22:58.270 I'm hoping that the Ukrainian people will rise up on 0:22:58.310 --> 0:23:02.290 the streets and demand his ouster. And, yes, they should 0:23:02.350 --> 0:23:05.730 hold new elections. And hopefully there would even be a 0:23:05.790 --> 0:23:10.390 military coup to replace him and then usher in the 0:23:10.730 --> 0:23:13.520 new elections to get a new leader over there. And 0:23:13.600 --> 0:23:18.230 I applaud President Trump. for this outstanding deal that he 0:23:18.270 --> 0:23:21.330 made with Putin. And like we say, we're no fan 0:23:21.369 --> 0:23:25.560 of Putin either. But Trump should make this a key 0:23:25.640 --> 0:23:29.240 centerpiece of the campaign. He should make this the issue, 0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:31.939 the affordability issue. He can turn it around on the 0:23:31.980 --> 0:23:36.470 Democrats and ask them if they are going to support 0:23:36.869 --> 0:23:42.040 new gas taxes. And he should issue the six-month, as 0:23:42.140 --> 0:23:45.459 I said before, the six-month suspension of the gas tax. 0:23:46.140 --> 0:23:49.690 And he should make the energy the issue and the 0:23:49.790 --> 0:23:53.650 Green New Deal, as you said. And he should really 0:23:55.869 --> 0:24:02.570 needle the Democrats on this issue and also the Democrats' 0:24:02.630 --> 0:24:05.910 support of Zelenskyy. And this aid should be cut off. 0:24:05.930 --> 0:24:08.220 I agree with you. It should be cut off immediately. 0:24:08.320 --> 0:24:14.040 The military assistance and the intelligence assistance to Ukraine. And 0:24:14.220 --> 0:24:17.640 it makes Zelensky the issue in this campaign. I think 0:24:17.720 --> 0:24:21.480 that the Republicans could really come back in the final 0:24:21.520 --> 0:24:24.100 days of the campaign. And by the way, why are 0:24:24.540 --> 0:24:28.520 the Republicans pulling out money out of the campaigns in 0:24:28.580 --> 0:24:32.639 North Carolina and Georgia? They should help Mike Collins and 0:24:32.700 --> 0:24:36.980 his battle against Ossoff. And they should help... Michael Whatley 0:24:37.060 --> 0:24:40.800 against Cooper in those races and these other races. The 0:24:40.859 --> 0:24:44.700 Republicans should be spending more money. I think Trump has 0:24:44.700 --> 0:24:49.119 $ 800 million and the Republican National Committee has $ 200 million. 0:24:49.460 --> 0:24:52.310 They should be spending this money in these races. These 0:24:52.369 --> 0:24:56.250 are winnable races. Even the pollsters of the president say 0:24:56.310 --> 0:25:00.410 that these races in North Carolina and Georgia, they can 0:25:00.450 --> 0:25:04.390 be won. So I think Trump should make a national 0:25:04.450 --> 0:25:09.010 address and he should Say, Zelensky is the issue. He's 0:25:09.090 --> 0:25:13.910 trying to stop us from getting all of this crude oil, 0:25:14.490 --> 0:25:17.590 which could help lower these prices. And Trump should say 0:25:17.650 --> 0:25:19.859 he's trying his best. He's trying his best. 0:25:20.160 --> 0:25:22.060 Oh, Gabriel, you nailed it. You nailed it. He's a 0:25:22.100 --> 0:25:25.679 false ally. I mean, there's no question. He's revealed himself. 0:25:25.920 --> 0:25:29.760 He really is an ingrate and someone who has no 0:25:29.800 --> 0:25:33.330 respect for this country and obviously doesn't care how much 0:25:33.410 --> 0:25:37.020 economic pain he inflicts upon us. You know the old expression, 0:25:37.080 --> 0:25:39.860 never bite the hand that feeds you? I mean, he's 0:25:39.940 --> 0:25:43.850 chewing our hand off. And he thinks, what, we're supposed 0:25:43.890 --> 0:25:48.909 to love it? Look, people around him, this is a 0:25:48.950 --> 0:25:52.230 matter of public record. I would never say anything that's 0:25:52.270 --> 0:25:58.470 based on just gossip or innuendo. Publicly, publicly, people around 0:25:58.510 --> 0:26:03.220 him have said, Zelensky likes to powder his nose, as 0:26:03.260 --> 0:26:07.220 they say. That he's into cocaine. and that he does 0:26:07.290 --> 0:26:10.190 a lot of cocaine, and that he's been doing cocaine 0:26:10.230 --> 0:26:14.129 for a while. And they say that explains, in their view, 0:26:14.730 --> 0:26:21.670 his mental instability, his erratic, horrible judgment at times, stuff 0:26:21.690 --> 0:26:24.560 that he says and does. They say a lot of 0:26:24.600 --> 0:26:28.620 times it's because he's on a cocaine-fueled binge. I want 0:26:28.660 --> 0:26:32.140 to know, was he stoned when he made that comment 0:26:32.240 --> 0:26:35.979 attacking President Trump publicly? I want to know, was he 0:26:36.060 --> 0:26:39.600 stoned when he gave the order to the Ukrainian military 0:26:40.520 --> 0:26:43.880 to hit the very oil refineries and the very oil 0:26:43.920 --> 0:26:47.020 hubs that are going to be supplying us with the 0:26:47.080 --> 0:26:52.200 diesel fuel that we need to lower prices here at home. Seriously. 0:26:52.220 --> 0:26:55.060 I mean, if I was Trump, I'd be on the 0:26:55.080 --> 0:26:57.459 phone and say, are you high again? Are you on 0:26:57.480 --> 0:26:59.600 the Coke again? I told you to get off the Coke. 0:27:01.260 --> 0:27:06.540 So they got a problem. This guy is a loose cannon. And, 0:27:06.780 --> 0:27:09.520 you know, Gabriel, you touched on it. Do not be 0:27:09.600 --> 0:27:15.960 surprised if the Ukrainian military steps in. Zelensky's approval is 0:27:16.080 --> 0:27:19.880 way under 30%. There is a leader out there who 0:27:19.900 --> 0:27:25.639 the military loves. His name is Zeluzhny, who is a patriot, 0:27:26.200 --> 0:27:29.980 fought on the front lines with Ukraine, openly disagreed with 0:27:30.260 --> 0:27:36.820 Zelensky's disastrous strategy two years now. which really damaged Ukraine, 0:27:37.240 --> 0:27:41.580 he made a frontal assault on Russian positions where they 0:27:41.619 --> 0:27:45.180 held the occupied territory in the east, and it shattered 0:27:45.220 --> 0:27:49.520 the Ukrainian army. And Zelensky warned him publicly saying, don't 0:27:49.640 --> 0:27:53.900 do it, Mr. President. It'll break the back of our military. 0:27:53.920 --> 0:27:57.780 And that's exactly what happened. And Zelensky, though, is so 0:27:57.840 --> 0:28:01.979 popular that Zelensky sent him into a sense political exile. 0:28:03.270 --> 0:28:07.460 So he stripped him of his military rank and made 0:28:07.500 --> 0:28:11.159 him an ambassador to Great Britain. Well, the people of 0:28:11.280 --> 0:28:15.880 Ukraine want Zeluzhny. If the elections were held today, Zeluzhny 0:28:15.940 --> 0:28:19.830 would win in a landslide. The soldiers on the front 0:28:19.890 --> 0:28:24.970 lines love him. The people of Ukraine love him. And 0:28:25.170 --> 0:28:27.889 he would be the one that would win, win big. 0:28:28.550 --> 0:28:32.680 He would cut a deal with Putin yesterday. and save 0:28:32.720 --> 0:28:37.440 the Ukrainian nation while he still can. So I wouldn't 0:28:37.480 --> 0:28:40.680 be shocked, Gabriel, if what you're saying is 1,000% true, 0:28:41.570 --> 0:28:45.190 that the Ukrainian military says, now we're fighting with the Americans? 0:28:45.210 --> 0:28:48.230 I mean, can you imagine if you're a top military 0:28:48.270 --> 0:28:53.470 leader in Ukraine, five years of fighting, just your own side, 0:28:53.610 --> 0:28:59.020 million dead or wounded, 25% of your country under Russian control? 0:29:00.390 --> 0:29:04.240 They're shelling Kiev now on a daily basis. Bridges now 0:29:04.300 --> 0:29:07.200
