WEBVTT - Buck Brief -  Will Trump Commit U.S. Troops to Guarantee Ukraine Deal?

<v Speaker 1>wherever you get your podcasts. Is Trump going to guarantee

0:00:22.697 --> 0:00:27.737
<v Speaker 1>Ukraine's security after a deal with Russia is reached by

0:00:28.297 --> 0:00:34.097
<v Speaker 1>putting US troops into Ukraine. This is the single biggest

0:00:34.177 --> 0:00:37.537
<v Speaker 1>question that came out of today's meeting at the White House.

0:00:37.737 --> 0:00:39.857
<v Speaker 1>President Trump has said, quote, he's going to give a

0:00:39.897 --> 0:00:44.297
<v Speaker 1>lot of help, a lot of help to Ukraine when

0:00:44.337 --> 0:00:46.817
<v Speaker 1>he had this meeting with Zelensky. A very different tone

0:00:47.417 --> 0:00:51.297
<v Speaker 1>from the President as he sat down this time with

0:00:51.377 --> 0:00:54.497
<v Speaker 1>Zelenski the last time, six months ago, these two had

0:00:54.537 --> 0:00:57.897
<v Speaker 1>a meeting. And I think what it shows is one

0:00:58.017 --> 0:01:01.977
<v Speaker 1>how much President Trump is dedicated to the idea of

0:01:02.057 --> 0:01:07.017
<v Speaker 1>getting a deal done. I mean, this is an absolute

0:01:07.057 --> 0:01:13.897
<v Speaker 1>focus of his administration. He could not have more input

0:01:14.057 --> 0:01:18.457
<v Speaker 1>and more drive into this process. And beyond that, he's

0:01:18.497 --> 0:01:24.097
<v Speaker 1>willing to take some pretty severe or serious steps depending

0:01:24.097 --> 0:01:26.977
<v Speaker 1>on who you ask. We don't know if it means

0:01:27.017 --> 0:01:30.417
<v Speaker 1>they'll be troops US troops as part of this guarantee.

0:01:30.417 --> 0:01:35.657
<v Speaker 1>Here's the problem, though, If this guarantee is going to

0:01:35.777 --> 0:01:38.457
<v Speaker 1>be worthy of the name, it can't just be economic

0:01:39.017 --> 0:01:43.897
<v Speaker 1>if Russia and Ukraine put down their weapons, divvy up

0:01:43.977 --> 0:01:49.457
<v Speaker 1>the land, and then there's a an agreed upon DMZ

0:01:49.537 --> 0:01:52.457
<v Speaker 1>if you will, something like a demilitarized zone, some kind

0:01:52.457 --> 0:01:55.297
<v Speaker 1>of a buffer zone between the countries, which won't be

0:01:55.417 --> 0:01:59.177
<v Speaker 1>very substantial, but it'll be very heavily armed and mined

0:01:59.217 --> 0:02:02.297
<v Speaker 1>and built up. If that's where this is all heading,

0:02:02.617 --> 0:02:08.017
<v Speaker 1>there has to be a reasonable belief on the side

0:02:08.017 --> 0:02:11.297
<v Speaker 1>of the Ukrainians that Russia's not just going to rearm,

0:02:11.457 --> 0:02:14.337
<v Speaker 1>re equip and then just punch through again in a

0:02:14.337 --> 0:02:17.417
<v Speaker 1>few years, probably when you don't have Donald Trump as

0:02:17.497 --> 0:02:21.017
<v Speaker 1>president in this country, waiting for some wimpy Democrat administration

0:02:21.097 --> 0:02:26.337
<v Speaker 1>to come along who won't do anything. But the possibility

0:02:26.417 --> 0:02:30.257
<v Speaker 1>even of US troops as part of the guarantee has

0:02:30.537 --> 0:02:35.217
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people in MAGA asking questions because certainly

0:02:35.617 --> 0:02:39.057
<v Speaker 1>at this stage of the game we've all seen there

0:02:39.057 --> 0:02:42.377
<v Speaker 1>are a lot of people who are really pro Trump

0:02:42.897 --> 0:02:46.737
<v Speaker 1>and want the Ukraine war to end, but they're single

0:02:46.937 --> 0:02:51.617
<v Speaker 1>guiding their single issue vote if you will, on this

0:02:51.737 --> 0:02:55.857
<v Speaker 1>that they're guiding principle on. This is no US troops involved,

0:02:55.897 --> 0:02:59.137
<v Speaker 1>This is not our fight. Now, we wouldn't be getting

0:02:59.137 --> 0:03:01.977
<v Speaker 1>into the fight in the short term. But if we're

0:03:01.977 --> 0:03:04.857
<v Speaker 1>going to put ourselves in a place where the United States,

0:03:05.537 --> 0:03:08.817
<v Speaker 1>let's say, has a military base in Ukraine, that would

0:03:08.857 --> 0:03:11.937
<v Speaker 1>be the most straightforward way of doing this. It would

0:03:11.977 --> 0:03:14.337
<v Speaker 1>be something like what we have in South Korea and

0:03:14.377 --> 0:03:16.977
<v Speaker 1>what we have in Germany. Now, a lot of MAGA

0:03:17.057 --> 0:03:20.257
<v Speaker 1>is going to say absolutely not, this is what we

0:03:20.377 --> 0:03:23.737
<v Speaker 1>don't want. Perhaps it doesn't go to this. I'm just

0:03:23.857 --> 0:03:27.977
<v Speaker 1>working through what the possibilities are, what a security guarantee

0:03:28.297 --> 0:03:31.977
<v Speaker 1>could really look like, because the Ukrainians are smart enough

0:03:31.977 --> 0:03:36.097
<v Speaker 1>to know that a security quote guarantee that only involve

0:03:36.217 --> 0:03:39.697
<v Speaker 1>sanctions is not worth the paper it's printed on. I

0:03:39.697 --> 0:03:42.377
<v Speaker 1>mean the Russians, we can't hit them hard enough economically

0:03:42.377 --> 0:03:44.777
<v Speaker 1>to get them to stop doing this. We can't get

0:03:44.777 --> 0:03:50.457
<v Speaker 1>putin to turn the tanks around because the ruble is

0:03:50.457 --> 0:03:53.017
<v Speaker 1>getting hit too hard. It's not it hasn't happened in years.

0:03:53.057 --> 0:03:56.777
<v Speaker 1>It's not going to happen, not while they're a fossil

0:03:56.817 --> 0:04:00.937
<v Speaker 1>fuel superpower, which, unfortunately, because of their natural resources, they

0:04:00.937 --> 0:04:03.337
<v Speaker 1>still are oil and gas. They got a lot of it,

0:04:03.497 --> 0:04:07.497
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fertilizer too, So that means that we

0:04:07.657 --> 0:04:13.417
<v Speaker 1>have to see this through beyond just the economic implications.

0:04:13.817 --> 0:04:15.537
<v Speaker 1>And this is where Trump is saying, there's going to

0:04:15.617 --> 0:04:19.177
<v Speaker 1>be a lot of help. Now there's the US base,

0:04:19.897 --> 0:04:24.777
<v Speaker 1>US basing rights, or a basing situation in Ukraine. That's

0:04:24.777 --> 0:04:27.937
<v Speaker 1>one way this could go. We could have something like

0:04:28.657 --> 0:04:35.457
<v Speaker 1>US promises of military support direct military intervention if Russia invades.

0:04:35.817 --> 0:04:39.537
<v Speaker 1>But now either one of these situations that would seem

0:04:39.617 --> 0:04:42.417
<v Speaker 1>to be a little bit of a lesser one. Ukrainians

0:04:42.457 --> 0:04:44.577
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't want that. I'm sure they want to base a

0:04:44.697 --> 0:04:47.417
<v Speaker 1>US base there, although there's some sovereignty issues for them

0:04:47.417 --> 0:04:50.817
<v Speaker 1>too with that, but I think they would want it nonetheless.

0:04:52.337 --> 0:04:54.657
<v Speaker 1>But the issue then becomes is this just a backdoor

0:04:54.777 --> 0:05:00.617
<v Speaker 1>Article five NATO situation? Does this then just turn into

0:05:01.177 --> 0:05:04.457
<v Speaker 1>the perhaps biggest redline that Putin has in all of

0:05:04.497 --> 0:05:08.417
<v Speaker 1>this is Ukraine cannot be a staging ground. This isn't

0:05:08.457 --> 0:05:11.817
<v Speaker 1>his thinking. I know, people say, oh, that's a Russian

0:05:11.857 --> 0:05:14.377
<v Speaker 1>talking point. Yeah, well this is what he says, and

0:05:14.457 --> 0:05:16.857
<v Speaker 1>I think we can all agree this is what he thinks,

0:05:16.937 --> 0:05:20.137
<v Speaker 1>or at least he says out loud. If it's going

0:05:20.217 --> 0:05:26.737
<v Speaker 1>to be any attack on Ukraine is triggering a US

0:05:26.777 --> 0:05:29.897
<v Speaker 1>military a direct military response like our planes in the sky,

0:05:30.137 --> 0:05:33.177
<v Speaker 1>our troops on the ground, even if it's solely defensive

0:05:33.177 --> 0:05:35.337
<v Speaker 1>a nature, meaning we're not going to go into Russian territory,

0:05:35.337 --> 0:05:38.057
<v Speaker 1>but we're going to try to support Ukraine. That looks

0:05:38.057 --> 0:05:41.217
<v Speaker 1>like Article five NATO, doesn't it. So how could Putin

0:05:41.377 --> 0:05:45.217
<v Speaker 1>sign off on his side of the deal if he

0:05:45.417 --> 0:05:49.617
<v Speaker 1>is giving away what would be the biggest stumbling block

0:05:49.657 --> 0:05:51.657
<v Speaker 1>I would assume for the Russians in this whole thing,

0:05:51.697 --> 0:05:55.417
<v Speaker 1>which is, No, you can't have a Ford operating base

0:05:55.537 --> 0:05:58.977
<v Speaker 1>of NATO, a de facto Ford operating base of NATO

0:05:59.017 --> 0:06:01.257
<v Speaker 1>in Ukraine, which is he says, the whole reason for

0:06:01.297 --> 0:06:03.057
<v Speaker 1>this war. I think the real reason for this war

0:06:03.617 --> 0:06:11.377
<v Speaker 1>is a resource grab. It is Russian expansionism, irridentism, Russian imperialism, Yes,

0:06:11.497 --> 0:06:15.777
<v Speaker 1>all of that, but certainly the ostensible reason, or the

0:06:16.737 --> 0:06:21.697
<v Speaker 1>you could say the fig leaf, the pretextual reason, is

0:06:22.217 --> 0:06:29.457
<v Speaker 1>to prevent the encroachment of NATO right onto Russia's Russia's

0:06:29.457 --> 0:06:33.697
<v Speaker 1>borders with Ukraine. And that's where this thing gets really

0:06:33.737 --> 0:06:35.817
<v Speaker 1>really messy. We'll come back to it. You know, our

0:06:35.817 --> 0:06:40.097

0:07:40.857 --> 0:07:44.537
<v Speaker 1>or for Ukraine rather against Russian aggression. This is all

0:07:44.537 --> 0:07:48.537
<v Speaker 1>feeling a lot like it is tied into at least

0:07:48.577 --> 0:07:52.697
<v Speaker 1>an analogous to what we've seen in World War One

0:07:52.817 --> 0:07:56.817
<v Speaker 1>with the style of warfare. It is largely trench warfare

0:07:56.857 --> 0:07:59.857
<v Speaker 1>with drones. That's the best way to describe what the

0:07:59.857 --> 0:08:02.057
<v Speaker 1>front in Ukraine is based on all the reports you

0:08:02.097 --> 0:08:11.057
<v Speaker 1>can read, and it's pretty stunning how deep the fortifications,

0:08:11.097 --> 0:08:14.977
<v Speaker 1>the ground fortifications are. They've referred to it well. They

0:08:14.977 --> 0:08:17.177
<v Speaker 1>want to avoid calling an imagine no line for Ukraine

0:08:17.177 --> 0:08:20.577
<v Speaker 1>because of what happened to the French Magino line, but

0:08:20.657 --> 0:08:25.337
<v Speaker 1>that is probably the closest historical analogy, and when you

0:08:25.497 --> 0:08:29.217
<v Speaker 1>see what the plan is here, it's going to be

0:08:29.617 --> 0:08:34.617
<v Speaker 1>to make it impossible for Russia to advance further in

0:08:34.657 --> 0:08:38.897
<v Speaker 1>its territorial ambitions and to strengthen the defensive perimeter of Ukraine.

0:08:39.097 --> 0:08:42.537
<v Speaker 1>But there's no future in which anyone sees Ukraine punching

0:08:42.617 --> 0:08:46.737
<v Speaker 1>across that no man's land, if you will, and taking

0:08:46.777 --> 0:08:49.777
<v Speaker 1>the fight to the Russians in territory they currently truly

0:08:49.897 --> 0:08:53.697
<v Speaker 1>control and expelling them all from Ukraine. So that means

0:08:53.737 --> 0:08:57.177
<v Speaker 1>you're going to have territorial concessions. That part of it,

0:08:57.217 --> 0:09:01.577
<v Speaker 1>I think is unavoidable. And that part of it is

0:09:01.617 --> 0:09:03.657
<v Speaker 1>I think where you're going to see a lot of

0:09:03.697 --> 0:09:06.697
<v Speaker 1>pushback from our press because they're going to say Trump,

0:09:06.897 --> 0:09:09.057
<v Speaker 1>if we do get to a deal, first of all,

0:09:09.217 --> 0:09:11.857
<v Speaker 1>no matter what the deal is, there are going to

0:09:11.857 --> 0:09:14.097
<v Speaker 1>be the Trump haters out there who say the deal

0:09:14.177 --> 0:09:18.097
<v Speaker 1>is not good enough. He pushed them into this, he

0:09:18.217 --> 0:09:21.497
<v Speaker 1>sold out Ukraine, because the one thing they cannot accept,

0:09:21.537 --> 0:09:26.217
<v Speaker 1>they will not accept, is that Trump has done anything

0:09:26.257 --> 0:09:29.257
<v Speaker 1>good here, that Trump has done something perhaps even worthy

0:09:29.257 --> 0:09:31.337
<v Speaker 1>of a Nobel prize if we get there right now.

0:09:31.417 --> 0:09:33.337
<v Speaker 1>That's not the case right now, it's a best effort,

0:09:33.777 --> 0:09:39.377
<v Speaker 1>but we have to be very honest about what the

0:09:39.417 --> 0:09:42.977
<v Speaker 1>implications are here. If he gets this through, and it

0:09:43.017 --> 0:09:47.217
<v Speaker 1>will be the most impressive win on the world stage

0:09:47.257 --> 0:09:49.617
<v Speaker 1>by a president I really think since Reagan and the

0:09:49.617 --> 0:09:51.097
<v Speaker 1>fall of the Berlin Wall. I don't know what else

0:09:51.177 --> 0:09:53.897
<v Speaker 1>could be equivalent to this, because Trump will have brought

0:09:53.897 --> 0:09:59.017
<v Speaker 1>together this negotiation and ended a massive conflict between advanced

0:09:59.377 --> 0:10:02.577
<v Speaker 1>military's advanced economies. This isn't, you know, some third world

0:10:02.657 --> 0:10:06.897
<v Speaker 1>counterinsurgency campaign somewhere. This is Russia with a lot of nukes.

0:10:07.017 --> 0:10:11.137
<v Speaker 1>This is a big deal, and up is doing everything

0:10:11.137 --> 0:10:13.617
<v Speaker 1>he can to bring this thing to a conclusion. It's

0:10:13.657 --> 0:10:17.497
<v Speaker 1>so bloody and it's such a horrific loss of life

0:10:17.697 --> 0:10:23.297
<v Speaker 1>on both sides. So on a humanitarian front, you would

0:10:23.297 --> 0:10:25.257
<v Speaker 1>just want this to end as quickly as possible because

0:10:25.297 --> 0:10:29.217
<v Speaker 1>of the horrendous casualties that are mounting and a generation

0:10:29.337 --> 0:10:32.217
<v Speaker 1>of Russians, a generation of Ukrainians lost. And I understand

0:10:32.457 --> 0:10:35.857
<v Speaker 1>we're to think that the Russians are the bad guys,

0:10:36.177 --> 0:10:38.817
<v Speaker 1>and certainly Putin is the aggressor here. I'm very clear

0:10:38.897 --> 0:10:41.737
<v Speaker 1>on that. I understand, and we've been able to see

0:10:41.737 --> 0:10:43.857
<v Speaker 1>this all along. Putin is not a good person. He's

0:10:43.857 --> 0:10:46.097
<v Speaker 1>not an ethical person the way we think of ethics.

0:10:46.577 --> 0:10:48.857
<v Speaker 1>But a lot of these Russian conscripts, you know, they

0:10:48.897 --> 0:10:52.457
<v Speaker 1>just think they're fighting for their country. They're fighting because

0:10:52.457 --> 0:10:53.497
<v Speaker 1>they have no choice. They don't want to go to

0:10:53.577 --> 0:10:55.177
<v Speaker 1>prison or they don't want to be you know, beaten

0:10:55.217 --> 0:11:00.577
<v Speaker 1>by the FSB and conscripted anyway. So they're in a

0:11:00.577 --> 0:11:03.257
<v Speaker 1>tough situation. You know, the average Russian who's being thrown

0:11:03.297 --> 0:11:06.497
<v Speaker 1>onto the front lines here doesn't really have a choice,

0:11:07.137 --> 0:11:09.537
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of Ukrainians are also in that situation

0:11:09.577 --> 0:11:11.777
<v Speaker 1>where they don't have much of a choice, if at all.

0:11:12.177 --> 0:11:14.537
<v Speaker 1>And I know there's been very aggressive conscription on the

0:11:14.577 --> 0:11:17.337
<v Speaker 1>Ukrainian side of things too, So I feel bad. These

0:11:17.377 --> 0:11:20.057
<v Speaker 1>are human beings. These are human beings who are living

0:11:20.057 --> 0:11:22.377
<v Speaker 1>in trenches, who are hoping that they don't have a

0:11:22.457 --> 0:11:27.937
<v Speaker 1>drone flown right at them, that explodes right next to them,

0:11:28.217 --> 0:11:32.177
<v Speaker 1>and if it doesn't just kill them outright, horrifically maims them,

0:11:32.697 --> 0:11:35.297
<v Speaker 1>you know, takes their arm, maybe half their face. I mean,

0:11:35.337 --> 0:11:38.657
<v Speaker 1>it's awful, awful stuff that's going on here, and so

0:11:38.737 --> 0:11:44.417
<v Speaker 1>we can know who's in charge of pieces of territory

0:11:44.457 --> 0:11:47.537
<v Speaker 1>that most Americans honestly still and this isn't a knock

0:11:47.577 --> 0:11:49.697
<v Speaker 1>on Americans who can't but most Americans still can't find

0:11:49.697 --> 0:11:51.537
<v Speaker 1>this stuff on a map. And why should they. It's

0:11:51.617 --> 0:11:54.257
<v Speaker 1>very far away. It's not you know, it's not their thing.

0:11:54.697 --> 0:11:58.057
<v Speaker 1>It's not our problem. You know, this isn't a territorial

0:11:58.097 --> 0:12:02.377
<v Speaker 1>dispute between Mexico and Arizona. This isn't really our problem

0:12:02.417 --> 0:12:05.857
<v Speaker 1>in that sense. But because where America, I guess anything

0:12:05.897 --> 0:12:08.937
<v Speaker 1>becomes our problem if it's big enough anywhere in the world,

0:12:09.017 --> 0:12:12.897
<v Speaker 1>and this is certainly big enough. So I'm very hopeful

0:12:12.937 --> 0:12:15.057
<v Speaker 1>that Trump will be able to move this to a

0:12:15.097 --> 0:12:17.977
<v Speaker 1>better place and get the bloodshed to stop, and it

0:12:18.017 --> 0:12:20.577
<v Speaker 1>will be remarkable if that is in fact the case.

0:12:20.697 --> 0:12:24.297
<v Speaker 1>We're also seeing here a preview I think of what

0:12:24.337 --> 0:12:27.497
<v Speaker 1>warfare in the future is going to look like, particularly

0:12:27.497 --> 0:12:31.377
<v Speaker 1>with the drones, but also increasingly with a combination of

0:12:31.417 --> 0:12:34.737
<v Speaker 1>technology and manufacturing. It's not just going to be who

0:12:34.777 --> 0:12:36.457
<v Speaker 1>has the most advanced stuff. It's going to be who

0:12:36.497 --> 0:12:41.217
<v Speaker 1>can make this stuff at scale? That and a whole

0:12:41.497 --> 0:12:44.017
<v Speaker 1>bunch of different things, different kinds of drone, different kinds

0:12:44.017 --> 0:12:50.337
<v Speaker 1>of munitions. So the the industrial backbone, you know, the US,

0:12:50.817 --> 0:12:54.297
<v Speaker 1>once it got going in World War Two, the US

0:12:54.377 --> 0:12:58.057
<v Speaker 1>industrial and economic might was just so incredible that we

0:12:58.417 --> 0:13:02.497
<v Speaker 1>were able to eventually just steamroll the bad guys, particularly

0:13:02.497 --> 0:13:04.777
<v Speaker 1>in the Pacific theater. We just could make more planes,

0:13:04.817 --> 0:13:07.337
<v Speaker 1>better planes, more, you know, we had more and better everything,

0:13:08.057 --> 0:13:10.897
<v Speaker 1>and we yeah, it was our brave on the front lines,

0:13:10.937 --> 0:13:14.417
<v Speaker 1>but it was also the machinery back home that was

0:13:14.497 --> 0:13:18.377
<v Speaker 1>making all this stuff. And that's what warfare in the

0:13:18.417 --> 0:13:20.137
<v Speaker 1>future is gonna We're gonna it's gonna look like we're

0:13:20.177 --> 0:13:25.337
<v Speaker 1>gonna get away from the continued Third World counterinsurgency operations

0:13:25.497 --> 0:13:29.657
<v Speaker 1>of the anti g hottest GWAT campaigns and move toward

0:13:30.217 --> 0:13:32.137
<v Speaker 1>what kind of drones can you fly that can take

0:13:32.177 --> 0:13:34.857
<v Speaker 1>out a tank? What kind of drones do you have

0:13:35.057 --> 0:13:39.177
<v Speaker 1>or missiles do you have that can take out major

0:13:40.257 --> 0:13:43.537
<v Speaker 1>naval surface ships? I mean this is these are the

0:13:43.537 --> 0:13:46.457
<v Speaker 1>calculations going forward. I think they're going to be dominating

0:13:47.257 --> 0:13:49.417
<v Speaker 1>warfare and our focus of it. So there's gonna there's

0:13:49.457 --> 0:13:52.457
<v Speaker 1>a lot that's being learned because there's no laboratory of

0:13:52.457 --> 0:13:55.017
<v Speaker 1>warfare quite like a war. As all history shows us.

0:13:55.177 --> 0:13:57.737
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot that's being learned on the front lines

0:13:57.777 --> 0:14:00.577
<v Speaker 1>in Ukraine that will be applicable for our own defense

0:14:01.057 --> 0:14:03.417
<v Speaker 1>as well as other countries, other allies of ours defense

0:14:03.457 --> 0:14:06.337
<v Speaker 1>going forward. I'm thinking about Taiwan and China obviously in

0:14:06.377 --> 0:14:10.657
<v Speaker 1>a big way. Uh you know, the time ease. I'm

0:14:10.657 --> 0:14:13.777
<v Speaker 1>sure I have a lot that they are learning from

0:14:14.177 --> 0:14:17.857
<v Speaker 1>being able to stop a power that is superior in

0:14:18.737 --> 0:14:23.257
<v Speaker 1>materiel and manpower overall. But with the right techno, with

0:14:23.297 --> 0:14:28.297
<v Speaker 1>the right technology and the right interlocking fields of fire

0:14:28.377 --> 0:14:34.177
<v Speaker 1>if you will, from the whether it's anti aircraft, anti

0:14:34.257 --> 0:14:39.657
<v Speaker 1>personnel trenches, all these things brought together a much smaller

0:14:40.457 --> 0:14:44.537
<v Speaker 1>but technologically advanced power can be formidable on the defensive.

0:14:45.457 --> 0:14:47.617
<v Speaker 1>So that may be very good news for Taiwan. But

0:14:47.817 --> 0:14:50.697
<v Speaker 1>it's something that we're seeing play out now. You know.

0:14:50.977 --> 0:14:53.177
<v Speaker 1>Our sponsor here is Paradigm Press. Our federal government has

0:14:53.177 --> 0:14:55.897
<v Speaker 1>some funding problems, and one of them being our social

0:14:55.897 --> 0:14:59.057
<v Speaker 1>security system. Most of us don't get to see the spending,

0:14:59.057 --> 0:15:01.217
<v Speaker 1>mistakes and fraud that goes on with Social Security, but

0:15:01.257 --> 0:15:02.977
<v Speaker 1>there's so much of it and it's just making our

0:15:03.017 --> 0:15:05.577
<v Speaker 1>funding problems worse. But as a country, there's a solution

0:15:06.017 --> 0:15:09.377
<v Speaker 1>to our overall funding problem. Jim Rickords a fifty year

0:15:09.417 --> 0:15:12.857
<v Speaker 1>government inside and he thinks that there's a solution here.

0:15:13.137 --> 0:15:15.137
<v Speaker 1>And President Trump is on the verge of the breakthrough.

0:15:15.537 --> 0:15:17.817
<v Speaker 1>He says America is anything but broke, and investors who

0:15:17.897 --> 0:15:20.857
<v Speaker 1>understand why could make a fortune. Jim Rickards believes if

0:15:20.897 --> 0:15:23.257
<v Speaker 1>you're over fifty, this is your last chance to create wealth,

0:15:23.657 --> 0:15:27.137
<v Speaker 1>lasting wealth, regardless of your politics. For the full story,
