1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Call it the Trump effect, because migrant encounters at the 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 1: southern border have now hit the lowest ever mark, down 3 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,719 Speaker 1: ninety four percent from last February. Now, I'm going to 4 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: explain that to you in a minute and why this 5 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,439 Speaker 1: is so important. But this also comes as there's another 6 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: big headline. The FBI director Cash Pttel has announced apprehensions 7 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: of eight Mexicans wanted for murder and drug trafficking. 8 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 2: The Federal Bureau. 9 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: Of Investigations director announcing that the agency took into the 10 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 1: United States cust the eight men from Mexico that had 11 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: actually been wanted by the FBI for murder and drug 12 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: trafficking charges. Two were former FBI ten most wanted fugitives. 13 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: The question you should be asking yourself right now is this, 14 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: why is it that Patel and Donald Trump can get 15 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: these guys but they were never handed over when Joe 16 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: Biden was President of the United States of America. I 17 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: can tell you exactly why, because they weren't asking for 18 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: them and they didn't really care. 19 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 2: Quote. 20 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: The FBI and our partners will scour the ends of 21 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: the earth to bring terrorists and cartel members to justice, 22 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 1: Patel said in a statement. The era of harming Americans 23 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 1: and walking free is over. This is again significant because 24 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: the eight men included a former FBI ten Most Wanted fugitive, 25 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: wanted for his alleged involvement in the kidnapping and murder 26 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: of Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent Salazar back in nineteen 27 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: eighty five. That's how long this guy has been wanted 28 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: and what did it take. It took Donald Trump getting 29 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: back into office for them to force Mexico's hand, the 30 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: FBI said this. Caro Quintero is widely regarded as one 31 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: of the Mexican godfathers of drug trafficking and helped to 32 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: form the Guadalajara Cartel in the late nineteen seventies.

He is another former FBI Top 50 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: ten most Wanted fugitive. He has now been apprehended.

He was arrested on January the seventh 61 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty three in Mexico.

The FBI stated he was arrested last 70 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: week in Sineloa by the Mexican Army. The question you 71 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: should be asking yourself is why was he able to 72 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: walk around free for so long? And is it because 73 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: there was a man in the White House who was 74 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: clearly compromised by the name of Joe Biden.

Andrew Clark is a 85 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: Canadian citizen who understood the border there. He also resided 86 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: in Mexico and allegedly ran and participated in a trans 87 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: national drug trafficking operation that routinely shipped hundreds of kilograms 88 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:52,799 Speaker 1: of cocaine from Colombia, then through Mexico, then through southern California, 89 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: then to Canada and other locations in the United States 90 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: through Canada. 91 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 2: The FBI says the. 92 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: Case was investigate get it by the FBI Los Angeles Office, 93 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: and Clark is being prosecuted for four different murders and 94 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: one attempted murder and will face charges in the Central 95 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: District of California. 96 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 2: Then there's Luiz Gerardo Menendez. 97 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: He's facing several federal charges, including murder, racketeering, and drug 98 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: conspiracy in the Western District of Texas.

Fuentes, by 105 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: the way, the former leader of the Warez cartel, is 106 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: facing narcotics to trafficking charges. 107 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 2: In the Eastern District of New York. 108 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: He's responsible for the trafficking of narcotics in the US 109 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: and also assisted in perpetrating significant violence throughout Mexico, El Paso, Texas, 110 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: and other areas in the US. The FBI says, you 111 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: look at all of this, what changed one simple thing. 112 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: Casptel became the FBI director and all of a sudden, 113 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: holding people accountable who have killed American men and women 114 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: in uniform are police officers and innocent civilians while they're 115 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,239 Speaker 1: now on his list. The FBI is once again putting 116 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: America's safety first and ensuring that no criminal enterprise no 117 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: matter how powerful, can operate without consequences. The FBI said 118 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: in their statement, Let's make this clear. Justice will be 119 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: served and the error of lawlessness is over. So let's 120 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: go back to what I was saying a moment ago 121 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: about the Trump effect. It's very clear that the FBI 122 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: leadership has changed now going after the worst cartel members 123 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: and they have again been declared as terrorist organizations. So 124 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: what is happening in general at the southern border, Well, 125 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: it's very exciting news. There is a new post by 126 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: the Chief of the US Border Patrol, Michael Banks, and 127 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: he showed February apprehensions to be a record low for 128 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: the agency. Banks posts revealed the startling impact of the 129 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: Trump presidency on illegal migration to the United States in 130 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: the forty two days since he assumed office, saying this quote, 131 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: February proved our combined efforts and securing the border worked. 132 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: That is what Chief Banks posted on x saying United 133 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: States Border Patrol apprehensions at eight three hundred and twenty 134 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: six illegal aliens at the US Mexico border, making it 135 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: the lowest month in record history. That just over eighty 136 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: three hundred migrants arrested by border patrol who illegally crossed 137 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: the Mexican border into the United States fell by ninety 138 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: four percent to the one hundred and forty thousand plus 139 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: encountered just one year ago. During the same time period 140 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: of February, perhaps more shocking, the numbers dropped by eighty 141 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: two percent from December President Joe. 142 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 2: Biden's last full month in office. 143 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: As a transition of power took place in January, the 144 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: encounter numbers began to plummet, falling to just over twenty 145 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: nine thousand. In fact, the numbers were witnessing now were 146 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: the same type of numbers that we were seeing in 147 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:41,599 Speaker 1: one single day at our southern border during Joe Biden's presidency. 148 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: During some months now look large scale immigration raids across 149 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: the United States of America have had a huge impact 150 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: because people are calling home and telling their family and 151 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: friends do not come. A consistent messaging from the entire 152 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: Trump administration has resulted in the reduction of legal border 153 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: crossings for the same reason people in America are saying, 154 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: it's not what it was several months ago. You do 155 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: not want to risk coming here and immediately getting sent 156 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: back home. They're also talking about the raids that are happening, 157 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 1: and this forced the closure of multiple non government migrant 158 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: shelters that also once received hundreds of millions of federal 159 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: tax dollars from FEMA to move release migrants further in 160 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: the United States to await asylum. Hearings that money is 161 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: drying up, the hotels are drawing up, and the aid 162 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: is drying up, so it's much harder to survive in 163 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: America as an illegal immigrant now. 164 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 2: It was also reported in late January. 165 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: Just days after President Trump's inauguration, the two shelters closed 166 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: in Pima County, Arizona, and then in February, a private, 167 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: non government migration center also closed in San Antonio, Texas. 168 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: It was just a few miles to the San Antonio 169 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: International Airport. The Migrant Resource Center, known as an MRC, 170 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: have been under a partnership with the city of San 171 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: Antonio and also Catholic charities. They were getting rich off 172 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: this ever since they opened it in twenty twenty two. 173 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 2: Now. 174 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: Among other measures that occurred during February, the Trump administration 175 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: conducted the first military flight transporting migrants to Guantanamo Bay 176 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: detention camp, clearly telling illegal immigrants they may end up 177 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 1: in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba is not sitting well with people 178 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: that are thinking about coming into the US. 179 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 2: In other words, it's a massive deterrent. 180 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: Now the camp in Cuba's currently undergoing modifications that will 181 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: allow for up to thirty thousand illegal immigrants to be 182 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: held the facility located within the Naval Station Guantanamo Bay. 183 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: Information provided by the Border Patrol revealing a new trend 184 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: of reverse migration is contributing also the lower number of crossings. 185 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 1: Disappointed migrants are turning away for the United States our 186 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: commit journey to return home, and we're also starting to 187 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 1: see a trend of illegal immigrants in the United States 188 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: that are also willing to you guessed it, return back 189 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 1: to their home country. 190 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 2: Now. 191 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: The new trend is also being seen in Panama, where 192 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: migrants are now paying boat smugglers to ferry them by 193 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: water to avoid the Darren Gap jungle on their return 194 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 1: home to Colombia and Venezuela. This was a very interesting 195 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: report that came out and bright Bart Texas talked about 196 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: an eight year old child that perished last week after 197 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: a smuggler's vessel carrying mostly Venezuelan migrants south from Panama 198 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: to Colombia capsized in rough waters. Bright bart Texas also 199 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: reported on Saturday, the President Donald Trump doubled down on 200 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: his border message of strength through enforcement by deploying yet 201 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: another three thousand active. 202 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 2: Duty military units. 203 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: Let me say that again, three thousand more active duty 204 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: military units, including an. 205 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 2: Armored striker brigade. 206 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: On February the twenty first, the Texas Department of Public 207 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: Safety also report the daily migrant apprehensions rate along the 208 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: southwest border fell below two hundred for the first time, 209 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: when agents encountered one hundred and ninety nine migrants, and 210 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 1: by February the twenty second, that number fell to one hundred. 211 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 2: And eighty five. 212 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: It was also reported that border encounters in February averaged 213 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: about three hundred and twenty eight per day. That, by 214 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 1: the way, is a number that would be per hour 215 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: under some days during the Biden administration. Now, if that 216 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: number held through the end of the month, migrant encounters 217 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: for February could have been as low as nine thy 218 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: two hundred. The actual number reported by Chief Banks succeeded 219 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: the prediction with the arrest of eight thousand, three hundred 220 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: and twenty six migrants. Now, to put it in perspective, 221 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: This represents a record low in CBP HE reports dating 222 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: back to the last full year of the Clinton administration 223 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: in two thousand. The previous low occurred during President Trump's 224 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: third full month of his first time in office in 225 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:18,359 Speaker 1: April of seventeen, when agents encountered eleven twenty seven migrants. 226 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 2: So, when the. 227 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: Biden Harris administration and the Democrats said they were quote 228 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: doing everything they could to secure the southern border, and 229 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: they said that the border is secure, they said it 230 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: over and over again, the border is secure. They were 231 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: lying to you, and they were lying to Congress. The 232 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: White House Press secretary said it, Joe Biden said it. 233 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: The man who was in charge of the Department of 234 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: Homeland Security, majorcas said it. And every time they said it, 235 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: they knew they were lying to you. They knew they 236 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: were absolutely full of it. Now, what we have learned, 237 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: and it's pretty clear, is that the President United States 238 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: of America wasn't Joe when he said that he was 239 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: going to fix the problem, and he wasn't joking when 240 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: he said he was going to use active duty military 241 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: to get the job done. We now see that more 242 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: active duty military are going to the southern border than 243 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: any other time in my lifetime. That is significant. And 244 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: the second thing that people need to be celebrating right 245 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: now is the fact that not only is the President 246 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: of the United States of America standing by his word, 247 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: but he seems to be ratcheting up on going after 248 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: hardcore illegal immigrants and cartel members, whether they're outside the 249 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: country or inside the country. Now you may ask yourself 250 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: this question, why were these people arrested in Mexico. It's 251 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: one reason, power and strength from a president that said 252 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: to Mexico, you're not going to get away with what. 253 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 2: You were doing under Joe Biden. 254 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: Mexico now how clearly understands that they're going to have 255 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: to start helping Donald Trump secure the southern border, and 256 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: that includes handing over people to our government that killed 257 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: our men and women. 258 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 2: In uniform and American citizens. 259 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: All right, I want to get real quick to some 260 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: breaking news for many of you. In a major move, 261 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: President Trump has halted We've now being told all weapons 262 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: sales to Ukraine. We also are being told that Donald 263 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: Trump is considering freezing weapons shipments from the US stockpiles. 264 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: This coming from a Wall Street Journal exclusive. Let me 265 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: give you some more of the background. The Trump administration, 266 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: they have confirmed, has halted new weapon sales to Ukraine, 267 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: and they are contemplating freezing all shipments from US stockpiles, 268 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: actions that could significantly impair Ukraine's defense against Russian forces. 269 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: This decision follows contentious Oval Office meeting between Trump and Zelenski, 270 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: during which Trump criticized Olenski's assertion that the wars end 271 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: might be distant and suggests that the US military aid 272 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: could be suspended if Ukraine does not actively pursue peace 273 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: negotiations with the US now. The suspension includes halting new 274 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:26,439 Speaker 1: deals through the US foreign military financing system, which is 275 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: vital for maintaining Ukraine's military capabilities. Analysts are warning that 276 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: without US support, Ukraine's ability to resist Russian aggression could 277 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: be severely compromised. European allies and Ukraine's defense industry may 278 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: partially be able to compensate, we're also hearing at this hour, 279 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: but the loss of advanced US weaponry presents a significant challenge. 280 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: European leaders have expressed concern over this shift in US 281 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: foreign policy. The French president has proposed a temporary truce 282 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: to facilitate the negotiations with Europe showing willingness to support 283 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 1: peacekeeping efforts, although Trump remains resistance to any US government involvement. 284 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: European officials are advocating for a truce and calling for 285 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: US European unity, while Trump has signaled that Zelensky must 286 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: agree to a cease fire on US terms or face 287 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: potential consequences. Now, the Trump administration and these recent actions 288 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: indicate a significant shift in the US foreign policy regarding 289 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 1: the Russia Ukraine conflict, especially after the way that Zolensky 290 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 1: acted in the Oval office, making it very clear he 291 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: is profiting off war and has no intentions of stopping 292 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,360 Speaker 1: this war or negotiating. 293 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 2: For peace now. 294 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: This move also puts Zelensky in an awkward situation with 295 00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 1: the Ukrainian citizens. There has not been election there since 296 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: the war broke out. Many believe that he is a dictator, 297 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: a de facto leader of the country, because no one 298 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 1: really knows who supports him. And if you're a citizen 299 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: in Ukraine and you see that the number one thing 300 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 1: that is keeping you somewhat safe, which is US military armory, 301 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 1: and you're going to lose that, then the people in 302 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: Ukraine may turn against Zolensky. 303 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 2: One of the most shocking. 304 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: Things that Zelensky has also said is that quote, the 305 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: US will have to send their sons and daughters, and 306 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 1: they will have to fight, and they will be dying. 307 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: This explains much of Zelensky's ridiculous conduct. He thinks he 308 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: has leverage over the United States taxpayer and over Donald 309 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: Trump due to our treaty commitments. 310 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 2: He is obviously very wrong. 311 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: Based on the actions of Donald Trump in the last 312 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: forty eight hours, we also know that Zelensky has shut 313 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: down calls for the immediate cease fire in the war 314 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: with Russia. He is being defiant today as Ukraine shot 315 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: down as a nation the prospect of even agreeing to 316 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: a ceasefire with Russia, despite his country being on the 317 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: back foot after three years of war with a much 318 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: larger adversary, apparently bolstered by fawning displays of support from 319 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: European leaders in London. On Sunday, Zelensky express intend to 320 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: quote continue the war until he is satisfied with these 321 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 1: security guarantees on offer from Western Powers, saying quote, if 322 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 1: you don't have an end to the war and you 323 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 1: don't have security guarantees, no one is able to control 324 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: a ceasefires, Zolensky said to The Financial Times. The Ukrainian 325 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: leader argued that Russia's history of launching invasions after agreeing 326 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: to previous ceasefires has convinced him that a meaningful deterrent 327 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: would need to be in place before Kiev stands down 328 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 1: its forces. To be clear, that is not what Donald 329 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: Trump actually asked him to do. No one in the 330 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,239 Speaker 1: US government asked him to stand down his forces, So 331 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: he's clearly changing the narrative, trying to imply that we 332 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: said stop fighting and protecting yourself. 333 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 2: Quote. 334 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: For US security guarantees are confidence that the same things 335 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: won't happen after this hot stage is over. 336 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 2: Now. 337 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: President Trump has argued that previous agreements were broken under 338 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: weak presidents like Joe Biden Barack Obama, and then a 339 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: ceasefire would merely be the first step towards a broader, 340 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: concrete deal between the two nations. Zelensky said that he 341 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: was made aware of plans floated by President Macrone for 342 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: a month long truce of fighting in the air see 343 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 1: and attacks on energy infrastructure, but reportedly refused to comment 344 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 1: whether he would be amendable to this proposal now. During 345 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: the summit in London on Sunday, the British Prime Minister 346 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 1: Starmer and President Macrone said that they would seek to 347 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 1: forge a quote framework peace agreement with Zelenski and present 348 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: it to Washington after the talks broke down between Trump 349 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: and the Ukrainian leader in the Oval Office on Friday. 350 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: While the London summit brought over a dozen leaders together 351 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: to discuss Europe's role, they concluded yet again with no 352 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 1: other nation signing unto plans from the British and French 353 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: for a pan European peacekeeping force, another failure by Europe, 354 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: and while the Prime Minister Starmer said that he. 355 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 2: Was willing to commit British troops and. 356 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 1: Planes on the ground in Ukraine, he said that such 357 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: a force would need the backing of the United States. 358 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 1: In other words, we're not getting into this war without 359 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: America being involved, and there's no indication that Washington or 360 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 1: the President or the Pentagon is wanting to actually send 361 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: US troops to Ukraine. In fact, most Americans now say 362 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: they do not support this war and they want a 363 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: peace deal as soon as possible. They also do not 364 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: want their tax dollars going there either. Now, despite having 365 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: left Washington early over the weekend without having signed the 366 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 1: simple Mineral Investment agreement for which he traveled to the 367 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 1: United States of America for. Zelensky said that his government 368 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: was prepared to sign the deal and said we can 369 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: get it done. It is unclear if the offer, by 370 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 1: the way, from the Trump White House still stands after 371 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: what happened on Friday. We also know that the US 372 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: Treasury Secretary told CBS on Sunday that the deal was 373 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: intended as a stepping stone towards a peace agreement and 374 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: that it would be pointless to sign if Selensky wants 375 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: the fighting to continue, as President Trump said he wants 376 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 1: a peace deal now. 377 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 2: It also remains to be seen how. 378 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: Stable Zelensky's position in Kiev will be on his return 379 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,199 Speaker 1: after the disastrous meeting with President Trump, which resulted in 380 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,719 Speaker 1: heavy criticism both at home and abroad for his oval 381 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: office antics. Multiple European leaders and politicians urged Zelensky to 382 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 1: mend tize with the US president as soon as possible, 383 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 1: but he has maintained that he will not apologize to 384 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: President Trump no matter what now. Zelensky has been blasted 385 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: by Ukrainian lawmakers for the first time publicly for arguing 386 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 1: with President Trump, because even they understand just how important 387 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: the relationship is. 388 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 2: A prominent Ukrainian lawmaker declared. 389 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: It was absolute idiocy for President Zelensky to openly argue 390 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: with the US President Trump in front of the world 391 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: during their Oval Office meeting on Friday. The Member of 392 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: the Parliament in Kiev lamented that Ukrainian's relationship with President 393 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: Trump came to an end on Friday after a heated 394 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: White House meeting, and he accused Zolensky of not understanding 395 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: what leadership actually looks like. He went on to write 396 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: on Facebook, absolute idiocy to start arguing all caps with 397 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,360 Speaker 1: the President of the United States in front of the cameras, 398 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: adding that it can be done and probably should be done, 399 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: but not in front of the cameras. 400 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 2: The Ukrainian MP, who sits with the European. 401 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: Solidarity Block of the former Ukrainian President Pershenko in Parliament, 402 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: went on to warn that Zelensky's behavior on Friday could 403 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: have very bad consequences for Ukraine. 404 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 2: He said that. 405 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 1: Such consequences could include a potential shutdown of elon musk 406 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,640 Speaker 1: Starlink internet access to the Ukrainian armed forces, to even 407 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 1: an end of Washington sharing intelligence with Keith, both of 408 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: which have been critical for Ukraine and its war with Russia, 409 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 1: and the Ukrainian lawmaker added quote, Zelensky has put millions 410 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: of people at risk and its madness. He also appeared 411 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 1: to agree with President Trump's conclusion that Zelensky was not prepared 412 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 1: for peace, writing quote, this time, it's not only Putin's choice. 413 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 2: He wants a war. It's totally obvious. 414 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 1: But on February the twenty eighth, this choice, the choice 415 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 1: of war, was also made by the Ukrainian leader Zolenski. 416 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: It's his common choice with Putin. This is the first 417 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: time we've seen major leaders in Ukraine standing up to Zelenski. 418 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: The question now will be what will happen in the 419 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: days and weeks ahead as the man who says he's 420 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 1: in charge of Ukraine returns.
