Uh yeah, when are 9 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: we gonna get to the bottom of this? Can you 10 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: have jurisdicsons within a country just announce yeah, we're not 11 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,279 Speaker 1: cooperating with federal gunment. Yeah, well, so we need this issue, 12 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: but just this issue. So we haven't talked about that 13 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: horrible wreck down in Florida. The truck driver who made 14 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: the illegal UNI turn killed an entire family in a 15 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: minivan who turned out to be illegal. When I first 16 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: heard that, I thought, Okay, that sucks. Obviously guy wouldn't 17 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: have been in the country if we had enforced borders, 18 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: so then maybe, well then you obviously don't have the 19 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: crash with him anyway, But did his illegal status have 20 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 1: anything to do yes, it had a lot to do 21 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: with it. So he gets a commercial driver's license. He 22 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: gets tested after he gets arrested killing these people. He 23 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: can't read a lick of English. He doesn't know any 24 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: street signs or anything like that. He got passed in 25 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: Washington State, New Mexico. He got pulled over, he got 26 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: a ticket. They let him go with the fact that 27 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: he couldn't speak English, read English, anything like that, allowing 28 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: him to continue to get his commercial driver's license. And 29 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: California somehow passed him, so he got three sanctuary states 30 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: and sanctuary cities. Who let this guy who should never 31 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:08,679 Speaker 1: be piloting a giant, gazillion ton truck go and get 32 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: the license out of some sort of weird I can't 33 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: even wrap my head around it. They're illegal, so we're 34 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,239 Speaker 1: gonna let them dry use equipment they shouldn't use. As 35 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: a We're gonna give him a much better deal than 36 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: a native born citizen, or a citizen in general, or 37 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: anybody with a green card. What they elevate them, give 38 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: them special privileges for being illegal. You people are so 39 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: freaking crazy. Do you realize how crazy you are? Somebody's 40 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: a criminal, but illegal, you let them go. Or if 41 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: somebody can't shouldn't be operating certain pieces of equipment, Oh 42 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: you're illegal, Well then we'll let you operate this dangerous equipment. 43 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: We wouldn't if you were a US born citizen. How 44 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: nuts is that? Completely? And it's absolutely at the heart 45 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: of a couple of New York Times pieces at the 46 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: top of the fold today. Their lead stories are the 47 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: Democratic Democratic Party faces a voter registration crisis. People are 48 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: fleeing the Democrat Party as fast as they can. It 49 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: is in freefall. Some of the statistics are just astonishing 50 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: because of their significance. I mean, it's self evident why 51 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: it's happening. I think, you know, we've talked about the 52 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: whole preference falsification and where you know, the bullying ten 53 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: to fifteen percent can convince everybody else that the majority 54 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: agrees with them because everybody is just kind of quiet 55 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: and afraid to speak out. I think there's a and 56 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: then when it gets revealed the reality of it, you 57 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: get what's called the preference cascade, and everybody comes out 58 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: and says, well, wait a minute, I never believed that 59 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: all of us didn't believe that. Yeah, well, I think 60 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party is seeing that right now, that's true, 61 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: and I agree on a whole bunch of the issues, 62 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: not legal immigration. People have been out and loud and 63 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: proud about illegal immigration for a long time. I can't 64 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: believe that it continues the way it the way that 65 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: it continued the way it did. And man, this this 66 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: story is going to drop hard today, you know, for 67 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: places that reported. I imagine that ms is that the 68 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: new channel MSMs NOW. I doubt ms now is even 69 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: going to do this story. But the Secretary of Transportation 70 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: is out making a lot of noise on Fox anyway 71 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: about this whole sanctuary law around truck drivers, for instance. 72 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: It's so crazy, there's that's gotta be like a ninety 73 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 1: ten issue. I'll give you eighty twenty at the best, 74 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 1: but not even let's put it to a vote, to 75 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: a vote. Are you a kid? Even be close? Right? 76 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: So nuts and obviously horrible. A whole family was killed 77 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: by this guy who should have never been and driving 78 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: a semi truck. So if your kid or brother born 79 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: in the United States wanted that job, probably couldn't have 80 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: gotten it. No, No, he's functionally illiterate. I can't give 81 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: you a commercial driver's license. God dang it, that's a 82 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: maddening story. Yes it is, and it's just so crazy. 83 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: There's no argument for it. Some of the stuff you 84 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: can at least see their argument. I don't see the 85 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: argument at all for I could read it to you 86 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: if you'd like. I don't have it in front of me. 87 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: But it was essentially, well, a driver's license is a 88 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: bridge to being able to work and support themselves and 89 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: enjoy the American dream. So we want to give that 90 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: to them, all right. I think we all need to 91 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: have some sort of compulsory two page explanation so everybody 92 00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: gets it of how a very vocal minority can convince 93 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 1: a nation of three hundred and forty million people at 94 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: least you know half of it that most people agree 95 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: with me, that whole anti racist thing, the DEI thing. 96 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,359 Speaker 1: What percentage of Americans thought, Yeah, I better go along 97 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: with this, like a year after George Floyd, it was 98 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: a lot, it was a majority, but as activist lunatics. Yeah, 99 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: the mainstream media or I guess do you call NPR 100 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: mainstream media? The pushback, for instance on Trump trying to 101 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: change the museums, I mean, it's portrayed in every news 102 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: outlet I see is just Trump attacks museums. That's the headline. 103 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: And have you been in of these museums like I 104 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: have in the last year. I mean you know that 105 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: they're just ridiculous. You read the plaques and you're you 106 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: spend your entire time walking around these beautiful museums, rolling 107 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: your eyes reading all these plaques. All right, climate change, 108 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: all right, white supremacy, I'll like colonialism. Can I look 109 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: at one fossil that doesn't mention one of those things? 110 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: Right right? It's utterly out of control. It's absurd. Our 111 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: museums have become Marxist activist, you know, education centers, re 112 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: education camps, if you will. Anybody who's been to one 113 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: knows that. And yet the so called mainstream media and 114 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: somebody says, hey, whoa, whoa, how did that happen? Well, 115 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: it's the great Is there a name for this? Speaking 116 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: of things we all ought to be familiar with? Where 117 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: you introduce a sudden and radical change, and then somebody 118 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,679 Speaker 1: who says, whoa, whoa, that was a sudden radical change 119 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: is branded as the agent of sudden radical change for 120 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: opposing it. I don't know. It's pretty clever, though. It's 121 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: the old dipsy doodle. It's the old double reverse. I 122 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: don't know what it is, but it's like no no, no, no, no, no, 123 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: no no no. It used to be you'd tell me 124 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: about the mammoth and how much it weighed and how 125 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: long ago it lived. Now you're telling me that it 126 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: died because a global warmer, it will never come back 127 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: because a global warming, or if it comes back, it'll 128 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: be naked, have no fur because of global warming. And 129 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: by the way, white supremacy something something that's a radical change, 130 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: don't you say I'm attacking museums to say, I just 131 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: want to know about the freaking wily mammoth. So we 132 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: have so many catchphrases that come and go. We're terrible 133 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: at sticking with our catchphrases. I wish we could get 134 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: better at that. But yes, Michael, here to blame. We're 135 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: probably too old to change at this point. But you're 136 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: wearing a T shirt that says goats of corruption, and 137 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: I have no memory of where the phrase goats of 138 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: corruption comes from. That was Jonathan Turley's description of the 139 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:45,599 Speaker 1: Bidens goats of family corruption. Yes, okay, that come on right. 140 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: I was picturing the bleating animal that clears weeds on 141 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: your highway overpass. No milk giving delicious meat bearing beast 142 00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 1: of the barnyard, yes nor no, no. Hey, So I 143 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: gotta hit you with this because I had to grab 144 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,839 Speaker 1: it real quick. But back to the New York Times 145 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 1: thing about how the Democrats are just hemorrhaging voters. That 146 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: is the New York Times description of the situation. There 147 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: are thirty United States states jack that track voter registration 148 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: by political party. Twenty of them just say I don't 149 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: care what party you are a just register so anyway. Of 150 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: the thirty states the track voter registration by party, Democrats 151 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: lost ground to Republicans in every single one of them 152 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: between twenty and twenty four, twenty twenty and twenty twenty four, 153 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 1: and often by a lot. Every single one had Republican gains. Well, 154 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: no that's not true. Some of them just stayed the same, 155 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: but every single one had a drop in Democratic registration. 156 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: They called it a hemorrhage, and two paragraphs later, the 157 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: stampede away from the Democratic Party. Well, you keep keep 158 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 1: talking up trans bathrooms and sanctuary cities, and good luck 159 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: with that. Big dude with a penis won the track 160 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: meet the girls track meet. Yay, Yeah, I wonder why 161 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: that hemorrhage just happened. It's a mysterious big dude with 162 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: a penis. I wasn't right. I wasn't expecting that phrase 163 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: in the opening segment. Perhaps show it's time for playing 164 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: talk all right, that's plain talk, right, Perhaps we should 165 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty. 166 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: The worst part of Wednesdays is having the camel in 167 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: the studio.

The shrimp were sold under the 177 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 2: Great Value brand and have a best by date of 178 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 2: March fifteen, twenty twenty seven. The FDA says they could 179 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 2: contain a radioactive isotope and is telling consumers to throw 180 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 2: them away, and investigation is now underway. 181 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 1: Well it's it's it's a great value because it's radioactive.

If you're not familiar with their act, 200 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: I look forward to that. Maybe we'll get to that 201 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: segment after next, because next we got headlines with Katie Green. 202 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: So stay here. Oh boy, I can't wait to hear 203 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: your What did you say you came to conclusion or 204 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: an epiphany or so? Yeah about the alleged upcoming Ukraine 205 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 1: Russia talks. Yeah, I just I let I just did 206 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 1: the math in my head as I did Joe did 207 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: the math on the Ukraine War. I didn't know the 208 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: math of competing needs, desires, demands, absolutes, etc. And sometimes 209 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: it just doesn't pan out anyway. More on that to come. 210 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: We got a lot of stuff to talk about. Who's 211 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: reporting what lead story with Katie Green? Katie take it away? 212 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: All right? 213 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 3: He's starting with NBC Israel approve's plan for Gaza City 214 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,719 Speaker 3: takeover and call up of sixty thousand reservists. 215 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: Sixty thousand reservists. Wow. I would like to know what 216 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: the politics are in Israel on that right now. You know, 217 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: it's hard to get a fair assessment of that because 218 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: the media is so anti Israel, well in the mainstream 219 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: media line at least today is that the majority of 220 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: Israelis want a settlement that brings the hostages home. Well, yeah, 221 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: I'm sure they do. Well, of course they do. And 222 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: whatever reporting that was that any takeover of Gaza will 223 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: result in the day as the hostages. Yeah, and not 224 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: taking over Gaza will also result in the depths of 225 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 1: the hostages. But then howmstiles still be there? From the Red. 226 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 3: On the s turn the sausages the sausages from the 227 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 3: Free Beacon quote danger to public safety. DC police misclassified 228 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 3: debts as accidental to drive down murder numbers. 229 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, and again the media is doing their best to 230 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: ignore this story. There are now multiple lawsuits, either settled 231 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: or pending, in which DC cops are saying, hey, they're 232 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: ordering us to fake up crime reports to make the 233 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: stats look better. Meanwhile, the Washington Post the New York 234 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: Times just blithely continue reporting that crime is down thirty 235 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: percent in one year somehow, So Trump's crazy, My god, 236 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: they're dishonesties unbelievable. 237 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 3: From the New York Post Southern border w we will 238 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 3: be painted black to make it quote even. 239 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: Harder for people to climb. 240 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 3: What Christy Noame says, they're painting it black, so it 241 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 3: gets so hot people can't climb it. 242 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: Oh that's an interesting theory.

Yeah. Yeah. 249 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 3: From the Washington Post, it's happening. People are starting to 250 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 3: talk like chat GPT. 251 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: Okay, I need that story.

People have stopped eating a breakfast, specifically at fast 264 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: food joints, and economists say that means people are running 265 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: out of money because that's the first thing you give 266 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: on is the early morning hitting the fast food place. 267 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: You decide now, I'll skip it when you run out 268 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: of money. 269 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 3: And finally, from the Babylon Bee man officially voting for 270 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 3: whichever political party will get the videos of the male 271 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 3: Vikings cheerleaders off of his social media feed. 272 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, no kidding. 273 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 3: I saw them fifteen times yesterday easily. 274 00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they're at there's a little fellas. I'll give 275 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: them that. Springy little acrobats, bendy little dudes. Oh yeah, yeah. 276 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, Minnesota, if you think that's what 277 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: your fans want, it's private enterprise. You go fly acgill 278 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 1: little fellas. Oh my god, Okay, we've got some news 279 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,679 Speaker 1: on the way. Stay here, Armstrong and Geddy. 280 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 4: Two hundred and seventy drones fired at Ukraine ten ballistic missiles, 281 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 4: killing eight people. Sixteen of those drones were not intercepted. 282 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 4: Four missiles made it through air defenses as well. 283 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 1: This is the biggest. 284 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 4: Aerial attack on Ukraine since the thirty first of July. 285 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 4: So this certainly sends a message that despite all the 286 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 4: good feeling that might have been vibrating through the White House, 287 00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 4: hit Russia. If anything is intensifying, its attacked well. 288 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 1: And as I said yesterday, a number of times, I 289 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: feel like nobody's checked in on whether Putin has any 290 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: interest in the war. Yeah, that's exactly where I was 291 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 1: heading with my conclusion slash prediction. Putin's not meeting with Zelensky. 292 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 1: It's not going to happen. He has no interest in it. 293 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: He's never specifically said he would do it. The Kremlin 294 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 1: immediately pushed back on Trump and Company's pronouncements the other 295 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: day and said, for instance, the Ukraine has to disarm 296 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: before a meeting. What wait a minute, is there zero 297 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: chance of that? To mention, Putin has been ranting for 298 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: some time about how Zolensky's illegitimate and a Nazi, and 299 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: Ukraine doesn't even exist as a country, and just half 300 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: a dozen other reasons why he would never meet with 301 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 1: a puppet of the West, an illegitimate leader and a 302 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: puppet of the West, a friend of the Armstrong in 303 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: Getty show. I won't mention him because he didn't. I 304 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 1: don't know if he wants his name attached to this, 305 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: but he was texting with Joe and I yesterday and 306 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: he said, for the record, My opinion on Russia Ukraine 307 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: has not changed since day one. Mike makes right. Just 308 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: like Rubio said, it's going to be a meat grinder, 309 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: and Russia's got more meat to grind, and they will 310 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 1: keep grinding until they get what they want. Unless we're 311 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 1: actually going to go fight alongside the Ukrainians, all we're 312 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: doing is prolonging it and costing more lives. Same will 313 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: be true for Taiwan. Sadly, I don't know if I 314 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: can disagree with that take, even though I don't want 315 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: it to be true at all. Well, the only counter 316 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: argument I have is that you can, essentially you can 317 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: change that math by aiding them with weaponry, logistics intelligence 318 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 1: at some point though they just need dudes. But but 319 00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: are you doing anything other than just prolonging it? That's 320 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: always your hope, That's why you hold out. You hope 321 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: the other side's going to give up. But they aren't. 322 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: Russia is not, or are they No? I don't think 323 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: they are, And if they don't, I mean because I haven't. 324 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: This hasn't been my uh thinking on this at all 325 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: at any point during the war. The idea that you're 326 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: getting more people killed, you're prolonging it, but now that 327 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: I might, I might be there if Putin has held 328 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: But so here's the analysis they had on news Nation 329 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: this morning from some very young, attractive blonde woman who 330 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 1: I thought was being a simpleton. But at the same 331 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: time she, you know, out of the mouths of babes, 332 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: she might have just been raped. Babes ought to be quiet, 333 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: be seen, not heard, she's she At one point toward 334 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 1: the end of her little reporting, she said, on the 335 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: other hand, it's possible that Putin actually believes what he 336 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: has said, that Ukraine is part of Russia and he 337 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: has no intention of ever stopping this war. And yeah, 338 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: he might just believe No, Ukraine's part of Russia. And 339 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do whatever it takes. We're a very big country. 340 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do whatever it takes to get what I want, right, right. 341 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 1: I just I think where I differ from our learned 342 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: friend is that if the Ukrainian people say, yeah, we'd 343 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: rather have the history written that we held out till 344 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,439 Speaker 1: we couldn't possibly hold out anymore, thank you very much, 345 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 1: And then if they are our ally, then we keep 346 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: helping them. Yeah, you don't decide, just more people will die. 347 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,439 Speaker 1: There's no point in that. No, I would. I'm definitely 348 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: unless it's and I'm sorry, just one more thought. Those 349 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,360 Speaker 1: of you are screaming, but we're depleting our arms when 350 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: we ought to be pivoting to our China. It's a 351 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: good argument, solid argument. I don't yeah, I don't know 352 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: how real that is. Some reporting out there shows that 353 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: we're giving the last general of all these different armaments 354 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 1: to Ukraine, or giving it to European countries to give 355 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 1: to your Ukraine, and then replacing the stuff with the better, 356 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,360 Speaker 1: higher tech stuff uh in our arsenal in some cases 357 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: you know they're getting they're getting uh Chat GPT four 358 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: of weaponry and we've got Chat GPT five now that 359 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: sort of thing. Yeah, my only objection to that is 360 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: I've read some pretty solid accounts that our replacement rate 361 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,640 Speaker 1: is just way, way, way too slow. Well, I hope 362 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: HEGs Thatt's on top of that, it's too busy doing 363 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: pull up contests. Was RFK Junior in the jeans wearing jeans? 364 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 1: Was he's wearing jeans? Non? RFK was RFK Junior was 365 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,880 Speaker 1: wearing jeans as he did pull ups yesterday as a 366 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 1: seventy year old man. So I feel like after a 367 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: couple of days out of really one of the most 368 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: extraordinary meetings in the history of everything. Do you see 369 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 1: the pictures that came out of there. New York Post 370 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: had him yesterday some some photographer that was in the 371 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 1: room with Trump and all those world leaders and Rubyo 372 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: and Secretary States there and everybody. It's really something. I mean, 373 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 1: Trump's sitting there at his desk in the Oval Office, 374 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 1: surrounded by many of the most powerful people in the 375 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 1: world that aren't President She or putin everybody else pretty much, 376 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: and and you know they're just listening to him talk. 377 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: It's really quite wild, right, I mean, he is, and 378 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 1: he would call them by their first names, and they 379 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: would call him mister President. That dynamic was noticed by 380 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,439 Speaker 1: people because Trump can't remember people's names. That's I'm not 381 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: sure it was as much power play as and we've 382 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 1: have Jim here. Jim does good work, guys like the 383 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: Secretary of Labor everybody, but it's just Trump, so he 384 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: has astride the world in a way I don't remember 385 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: anybody being I mean, for better or worse. If you 386 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: hate him, you hate that, and if you like him, 387 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: you like that. But he just I mean, whether it's 388 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,880 Speaker 1: the tariffs or the pulling all these countries together and 389 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 1: with the war and just and just dominating the newsflow 390 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 1: on everything all the time. Yeah, it is just stunning. 391 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 1: I mean I thought I thought that was true first term. 392 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: It's true this now in a way that globally it's 393 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: just amazing. Right, he is an activist president in a 394 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: way we have not seen. So what do you think 395 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 1: of this? I'm all over the place here, What do 396 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 1: you think of this narrative that, Well, everybody's figured out 397 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 1: flattery is the way you get to him, and so, 398 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: you know, bending to his knee, isn't I don't quite 399 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: get that, because isn't that what happens with everybody who 400 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: reaches a position of power. You do it because you 401 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: need they're powerful enough, you need something from them, or 402 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,640 Speaker 1: you need their approval. You wouldn't do it otherwise. I mean, 403 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: I could demand people call me mister presid but they're 404 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 1: not going to because they got I got nothing to 405 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 1: give you. That'd be weird. Yeah, yeah, I got nothing 406 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: to offer them. Trump needs more flattery than most leaders. 407 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: That seems obvious to me. Okay, finely got crazing him 408 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 1: over and over and over again. Fine, but unless you 409 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 1: have the position you brought it up. No, no, but 410 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: unless you have the position of power, they don't do 411 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 1: it right. So I still feel like it's a You're 412 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: still You're still the big dog, whether it's you like 413 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: flattery or not. I mean, you can't compel people to 414 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: flatter you unless you have a position of them needing 415 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 1: something from you, whether it's the tariff stuff or the 416 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 1: war stuff or whatever. He is the five thousand pound 417 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 1: gorilla on the world stage. There's no doubt about it. 418 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: It's a BFG. So the question of whether Putin would 419 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: actually get together with Zelensky at all is now the 420 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: hot topic in the halls of power, in spite of 421 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: the kind of fata humply feel of the meetings the 422 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 1: other day on Tuesday, for instance, Russian officials including old 423 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: Sergey Lavrov, the Foreign Minister who gave little Yes, who 424 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: we didn't mention this, who showed up Friday in Alaska 425 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:23,120 Speaker 1: in a CCCP jacket, the Soviet Union jacket, big Soviet 426 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: Union logo on the chest. I mean, that's that's not symbolism. 427 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: That's just a statement, we're the Soviet Union and we're 428 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:37,120 Speaker 1: going to restore the Soviet Union. Wow, that's the Yeah. Again, 429 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: that's not symbolism, that's a statement. So anyway, Old Kami 430 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: Love and Lavrov said plans for any contact between the 431 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: officials should be laid out with the utmost care. Other 432 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: Russian officials ridiculed Zelensky as an unserious politician. He seems 433 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: pretty serious to me. And then you got the demand 434 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: that Ukraine this arm before a meeting. That's not a 435 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 1: negotiating ploy, that's a rejection. Well yeah, that's a way 436 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 1: to get out of the meeting. But why doesn't Putin 437 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: want to meet with Zelensky? Ah? I felt I was 438 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 1: horrified by the idea of those two guys getting together 439 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 1: in a room. I feel like it's, uh, there's more 440 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:26,919 Speaker 1: to lose there for Zelensky than Putin. Let's see this analysis. 441 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: What am I missing on this? Because I feel like 442 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 1: if Zelensky's got to go into a room and shake 443 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 1: hands and smile with Putin, that helps Putin more than 444 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: it hurts Zelensky. So why doesn't Putin want to meet 445 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: with him? Let's see a couple of things. Putin has 446 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: said a meeting between the two leaders should come at 447 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: the end of a peace process and more as a 448 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: formality to sign necessary documents. Quote, this is Putin a 449 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 1: couple of months ago. I'm ready to meet. But if 450 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: it's some kind of final stage, so we don't sit 451 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 1: there endlessly dividing things up, but bring this to an end. 452 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: But we will need the signature of the legitimate authorities. Uh. 453 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: And then a most important a meeting with Zelensky could 454 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 1: end the delicate dance Putin has performed around Trump's peace 455 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: efforts to avoid more punishing sanctions. The criminal leader has 456 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: to has professed his desire for peace while escalating offensives 457 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 1: so have won Russian troops important gains. And a summit 458 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 1: with Zelensky could bring an unwelcome moment of truth. Okay, 459 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 1: that's when he's got to take off his mask, Okay. 460 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: So it would make it clear to the world that 461 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: he's the obstacle to peace and he doesn't want that, 462 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: in that he has no desire for peace and wouldn't 463 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: permit it. Yes, now that's an obstacle. Well, so far 464 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 1: he's been able to portray it and sometimes with Trump's help, 465 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,239 Speaker 1: that Zolensky is the obstacle to peace. Right, and if 466 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: Putin and Zelensky sit down. That whole charad might be 467 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: over is what he's concerned about. Obviously, I guess at 468 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: this point, Oh yeah, that's laying your cards on the 469 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: table time. And Putin has no intention of ending it. No, 470 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: and look from his point of view, and you have 471 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: to you have to look at Putin and his motivations 472 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: in a very like this same analysis you'd apply to 473 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,239 Speaker 1: an alligator. I mean, he has no morals, he has 474 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: no emotions, he has no bleeding heart for the death 475 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: of his men or anything like that. He's just a 476 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: cold calculator. And he's thinking, I'm making gains on the battlefield. 477 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: I mean they're tiny and they're incremental at mind boggling cost, 478 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: which is Jacks informed us as the history of the 479 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: Russian military. So his only goal at this point is 480 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: to prolong that reality so he can make more and 481 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: more gains. He also, I mean, because Trump has made 482 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 1: noises jd Vance has made noises in the last couple 483 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: of weeks of you know what or Ruby over the weekend, 484 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: even you know what, And if this doesn't work out, 485 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: you know, nothing changes in the lives of the average American. 486 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: We tried our best, so Putin has reason to think 487 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: that maybe we say huh, we tried and walk away 488 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 1: from it, which would be a win for him, right right. 489 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 1: Final note, the Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakarova went on 490 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: the offensive yesterday to level accusations against Zelenski to justified 491 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: Putin's own refusal to meet agreement over maximalist peace terms 492 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: that Russia handed to Ukraine, according to stana Yova, is 493 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: likely to serve as at Moscow's precondition for a meeting. 494 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: So you need to surrender and agree to our terms 495 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: for us to meet.
