Then the underbelly. We'll get to that coming 0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:56.040 up a little bit later. 0:00:56.480 --> 0:00:59.600 Oh and speaking of similar things, fellas you attempted to do, 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:03.320 click on the website and get yourself some pro pichia. 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:05.680 I think it is for your hair loss, and don't 0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:07.280 do it until you've listened to this hour of the 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:08.880 Armstrong Untgetti Show. 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:09.920 Unless you want to be blind. 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:14.800 I don't think that's a factor here anyway. I was 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:18.319 gonna leave it mysterious and you ruined it. So what's 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:21.560 the current state of the Democratic Party somewhere between a 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:25.640 poop show and a dumpster firecrat would seem crap crap, 0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:27.880 there you go, Ram Emmanuel. 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:28.319 There. 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.560 Democrats are in deep, deep trouble, according to their own 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:36.720 internal polling. Politico's Elena schneider I was writing about the 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:40.720 Democratic numbers on Tuesday, quote, the Democratic Party's brand is 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:44.080 in rough shape in the congressional battlegrounds. Nearly two months 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.679 into the second Donald Trump administration, A majority of voters 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:50.240 in battleground house districts still believe Democrats in Congress quote 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.640 are more focused on helping other people than people like me. 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:59.760 According to an internal poll long Independence, just twenty seven 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:04.280 believe Democrats are focused on helping them, compared with fifty 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:07.880 five percent. Friends, that's more than double who say they're 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.160 focused on the other people, not people like me. 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.200 Yeah, although when it comes to election time, you just 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:18.160 have to be the smartest horse or the tallest little person. 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.840 Well, yeah, with the Republican Party b by then well. 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:26.679 And will the Republican Party manage not to nominate jackasses? 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:33.400 Ironically elephant jackasses. Democrat polster Molly Murphy is quoted in 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:36.040 the Political Pieces saying while voters were somewhat critical of 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:39.280 Trump in some spots. The Democrats have serious damage to 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.600 fix with their own brand before voters trust them in 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:48.280 government again, said prominent democrat. The Democratic brand is still 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:49.639 not where it needs to be in terms of core 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:54.480 trust and understanding people's challenges. Other numbers in the poll 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.480 are even worse for Democrats. A majority fifty six percent 0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.760 of those surveys said Democrats are not looking out for 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:04.720 work class people are not. Forty two percent say they 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:08.280 shared values with Democrats. Just thirty nine percent said Democrats 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:12.960 value work, and just forty four percent said Democrats even 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:17.519 respect work. Thirty nine percent said Democrats have the right 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.720 priorities as a party, So that's not great. 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:24.680 Don't respect work? Wow, you don't want that brand. Gosh. 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:29.840 And in a completely wildly unrelated story, hundreds of protesters, 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:34.320 many of them in drag, descended on the Kennedy Center 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.200 on Saturday as part of a rally in March for Drag. 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:40.160 Was the latest in a serious protests in response to 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:45.520 President Trump's ban on Kennedy Center drag productions, said drag 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:51.040 artist Tara Hoot. This president is demonizing a marginalized community 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:52.800 in order to control the arts in America. 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.360 It's shameful, immoral and weak. Keep going with that. 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:57.640 Good Luckily, all right, I'm looking at a picture of 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:04.120 this freak wow and f bomb. That's a nerve freak anyway. 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:10.560 And finally this the DNC has picked a new executive director. 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.360 Have you heard about this guy. He's a former Liz 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:17.400 Warren campaign manager. Now, this is the guy who's going 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.560 to bring the Democratic Party back from what I was 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:24.599 just describing and all those poll results. He's a longtime 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:27.960 staffer and failed campaign manager for a handful of people, 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:32.039 who not only lists his pronouns on his website, but 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:40.560 lists them in Mandarin Roger law. He touts his decades 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:46.400 long experience. There's a campaign manager for a bunch of losers. 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.239 But Loo embodies many of the same characteristics that define 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:52.120 the Democrats defeat in twenty four He said in October 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:55.120 that it was very cool when vice presidential candidate Tim 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:58.240 Walls live streamed one half of a Madden NFL video 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:01.480 game with AOC The final score was zero to zero 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.760 because they were so bad at it. In addition to 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:08.120 disclosing his Chinese pronouns on social media, a low made 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:12.200 far left identity politics a central focus of Warren's twenty 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:18.039 twenty presidential campaign. You noted in a campaign memo the 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.520 company invested more than seven hundred thousand dollars in radio, 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:24.200 print and mail advertisement to reach LATINX communities, et cetera, 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:26.680 et cetera. So they picked a far lefty to lead 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.680 them back from the brink of irrelevance that they're on. 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.920 Then finally this from Politico, and we saw this the 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:35.839 other day. I should have asked for all those videos 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:39.000 when everybody was reading from the same script saying here's 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:39.760 what you're gonna hear. 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.440 S that isn't true. Do you have that? 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:46.359 Evidently, using foul language is the new strategy in the 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:51.080 Democratic Party. Jasmin Crockett, who we just heard from, telling 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:58.800 Elon Musk to f off. You got it, Michael, Yeah, 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.120 don't worry, it's not that important. Ken Martin, the new 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.479 chair of the DNC, to a more Midwestern approach. Go 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:09.280 to hell, he said later on X. Let's see Democrats 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:12.920 are cursing up a storm, said John Fetterman of Pennsylvania 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:16.840 GD It tell me who started that. It's kind of 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:20.760 a funny thing to say. Former DNC chair Tom Ferez 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:23.840 frequently deployed profanity in twenty seventeen, saying, for example, that 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:24.760 Trump doesn't give. 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:27.760 An ass about healthcare. Okay, there you go, there you go. 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:30.760 So I have talked a little bit lately about how 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.360 much trouble I'm having sleeping, worst I've ever had in 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.760 my life. It's reuly a drag. I wake up at 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.520 like one two o'clock and then stay awake in It's 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:42.039 been horrible. So somebody suggested these various supplements that they 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:45.120 said really worked for them. So I ordered them on Amazon, 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:46.640 had them the next day and tried it for the 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:50.279 first time Monday night and Tuesday night, and had the 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.400 two best nights of sleep I've had. This is an AD. 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:54.960 By the way it sounds like an AD, it is 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.760 the opposite of an AD soon to be. I had 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.000 the two best nights of sleep I've had in years. 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:02.400 I slept all night long, Like I don't remember the 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.279 last time I went to sleep and didn't wake up 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:06.320 until the alarm went off. 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.720 God, it's been years. It was so awesome. 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:12.960 I thought, well, this is fantastic, this will change my life, 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:18.200 except for I'm so freaking groggy during the day, and 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:21.080 like today is even worse. Than I like, it's like 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:24.360 I'm swimming in soup trying to wake up, which you 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.960 know is no good. And so I was taking valerian 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:28.520 root and I don't know which one of these is 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.400 doing it. Are all three valerian root, magnesium, and something 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:32.920 that starts with an owl. I don't remember what is 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:34.920 leah fine or leah something. 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:38.080 Like it wow, something that starts with an L. 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:41.480 I t how you know it's not an ad. I 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:43.280 don't even know the name of the thing. L if 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:47.360 you lion urine or licin aprill or. And last night 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:49.680 I had some sort of crazy dream that I tried 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:51.360 to wake myself out of and I was up out 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:52.720 of my bed at one point and it was like 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:55.000 I couldn't tell what was happening, and it's like I 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:58.280 was a drugged So then, well, and you were describing 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:00.440 trying to get ready for work this morning, found that. 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:02.280 Ye yeah, yeah, I couldn't. I couldn't. I was like, 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:04.480 do I have my keys? Okay? I got my keys? 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:08.080 Where are my glasses? Okay? Which car? I was just 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:10.920 this horrible, oh, even worse than that. 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:14.360 Katie, who on my recommendation, tried some valarian route almost 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:15.160 died yesterday. 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:17.560 Yeah, I was sitting here for an hour with a 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:21.840 resting heart rate at one And how how do you 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:25.320 trace suspected the Valerian route. I messaged my doctor and 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.040 he asked me, what have you changed? And I mean, 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:30.120 what did you do anything differently because I am on 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.000 a bunch of different medications and stuff. And I said, 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:35.400 the only thing that I changed is I took Valerian 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.040 Route last night to try to, you know, sleep through 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:40.319 the night. And you went, well, there it is those 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:42.480 caused heart that causes heart palpitations. 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:44.880 And someday Katie and I do a huge line of 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:47.520 cocaine together before the show just to get up for it. 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:51.080 But we do that every day. Yeah, so that didn't change, right. 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:54.880 I'm going to be accused of a classic pumping dump 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:56.360 here where I talk up Valarian root. 0:08:56.480 --> 0:09:01.760 Wait till the stock goes up? Is there stock? 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.160 And then I shorted it somehow, and then I come 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:06.480 out and talk about how it gives you heart attacks 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.760 and you sleepwalk or whatever. 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:11.920 But yeah, a longtime friend of the show, Mike the 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:15.440 lawyer in Chicago, said, yeah, I bought some on Jack's 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:19.400 recommendation and tossed it on katies because he was having 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.640 bizarro dreams that he couldn't wake up from. 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.920 Sucks, you know. 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.800 And I've talked about sleeping before, and my doctor has 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.600 never recommended Valerian root or any of that sort of stuff. 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.319 And you know, some of your hippie types would say 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.640 that's because big Pharma only wants you to take the 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:42.960 stuff manufactured by whoever, and we are are are nationalism 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:44.679 won't allow us to use Eastern medicine. 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:47.199 They Chinese figured this out of years ago and shot 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.760 up and get our haircut. Youa damn hippies, all that 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.880 sort of stuff. And it turns out maybe there's I 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:56.480 don't know, I've learned. Somebody said their bottle of larian 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.040 roots says only use occasionally. Okay, maybe not supposed to 0:09:59.080 --> 0:09:59.600 use it every day. 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:02.320 I just take the magnesium jack. That should be good. 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:05.040 You think, do you take magnesium?

Then we'll 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:54.680 move on to other fair stories about people getting the 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:58.400 hair loss drugs online without a visit to the doctor 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:02.079 and some of the eye defects.

It is a myth, friends, so 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:04.280 I will just read this as presented. Mark Jones, not 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:07.200 his real name, twenty six years old, insecure about his 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.920 thinning hair, was curious curious about the ads he saw 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:13.280 promising to reverse his hair loss. He completed a fourteen 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:18.840 question intake on a certain website and received a bottle 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:24.120 of Finasteride pills days later. This is the generic name 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:29.720 for Propecia. Soon after taking the medicine, Milich said, he fell. 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:31.320 That's his last name. I just gave it to you. Well, 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:34.559 it's published, it doesn't matter, said he felt strange symptoms. 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:40.679 He woke up one day anxious, dizzy and slurring his words. 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:44.720 Hell, I just call that Tuesday. Nay. Oh wait. 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:50.360 A minute later, his libido plunged and his genitals shrank 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:57.880 and changed shape.

Is that snoopy? 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.480 His doctor said the symptoms were caused by the drug. 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:46.360 His wife said the symptoms upended their lives. Here's the deal. 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:51.520 Your telehealth companies don't have to disclose side effects that 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:53.800 the drug manufacturers. 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:53.680 Do it in their. 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:59.199 Genitals changing shape, you know what I mean? Shrinking genitals 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.680 changing shape is disturbing. On the other side, not the 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:04.880 same old, same old.

Now get something new. 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:06.840 Now. 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:09.000 Every time you have a romantic time, it's like, what 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:13.040 is it this time? Getting some strange It looks looks 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:14.360 like a daisy or something. 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:16.960 Do you mind if I call you ken tonight, honey, 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:23.840 let's see this. Urologist at Cedar Sinai in La said 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:26.000 he's seen a steady increase of young men one or 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:29.960 two a week seeking treatment for finasteride sexual side effects. 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:35.320 Some also experience panic attacks and suicidal thoughts. He said, 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.160 the side effects are very, very common these days because 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:39.960 the medicine is easier to get from telehealth. 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:43.280 You get decided, you get the suicidal thoughts because your 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:48.360 junk is a corkscrew shaped like a pig, or a 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:49.840 quarter of its normal. 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:56.080 Size, which wasn't that great to begin with? Hey, oh right, yeah. 0:14:56.160 --> 0:15:00.600 The companies deny this at customers go through a apprehensive 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:03.240 intake that is reviewed by a licensed provider. 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:05.600 Blah blah. Attorney stold us. 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:07.880 I don't want to give away too much my personal life, 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:13.280 but I've got a variety of medical things through these websites. 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:16.320 I mean, they ask you a couple of questions, you 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:18.880 talk to a doctor on the phone, and then they 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.040 sign you off on it. They've never seen you, they've 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:24.480 never met you. It's very easy to get a ton 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:27.760 of stuff that way. They're actual doctors. I'm surprised there 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:31.640 aren't more laws around you know, I'm a libertarian, so 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:37.600 buyer beware, do it or don't. But it's it's funny 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:40.160 the stuff that you can get. It's a you know, 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:42.480 it's an actual doctor. It's an actual prescription. 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.840 Yeah, try it. You have nothing to lose but your genitals. 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:51.320 According to Perpitious Label, three point eight percent about four 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:56.240 percent of patients experience one or more sexual side effects. Interestingly, 0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:59.600 that's twice as many, but only twice as many as 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:04.600 the folks who took a placebowercent of them report sexual 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:10.000 side effects of their sugar pill, not including changing shape 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:12.600 of your No, not that one. 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:13.600 No. 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:15.680 I don't see how placebo could all of a sudden. 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:20.600 If it can, i'd retest that it's a placebo. 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:27.840 Right. Some men report worsening side effects after stopping finasteride, 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:31.080 a condition sometimes called post finasteride syndrome. 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:34.960 Uh wow, wow. 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:40.640 What's it shaped like today? Get up in the morning. 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:42.120 You think I don't even want to look, but I 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:42.720 might as well. 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.680 What is it today? Yeah? 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:51.080 Shaped like a tesla. That's weird so much in the news. 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:51.960 I don't, I don't know. 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:58.200 It's it's odd, like a cyber truck, like a lot 0:16:58.200 --> 0:16:59.040 of sharp edges. 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:05.040 So this is a study in not only the myth 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:08.080 that Ukraine turned down a perfectly great deal with Putin, 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:11.040 but also a study in how partial information can mislead 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:11.880 people coming up. 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:15.080 Yeah, and some of the results of Trump's method will 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:16.040 see if it happens. 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:19.000 Stay tuned, Armstrong and getty. 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:22.399 Vladimir Putin said, there is that first of all, the 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:25.080 Russians want to kick all of the Ukrainians off their 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:28.439 territory and also create a buffer zone in that area, 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:32.439 which obviously could take months of combat operations to do. So, 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:34.680 the Russians right now feel that they have the edge 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:36.720 on the battlefield and that they are not going to 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:39.760 be pressured or rushed into any sort of ceasefire agreement. 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:40.120 Yeah. 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:42.560 Well, if you didn't see it on TV last night, 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:47.040 Putin showed up to the front lines there in military 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:52.000 garb as the Russians took back the biggest city in 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:55.320 that chunk of Russia that Ukraine had been holding on 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:58.840 to for ten months I think, And they're going to 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:01.919 push the Ukrainians out of there, and that was going 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:04.119 to be a good bargaining chip for the Ukrainians to 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:05.760 have to try to get back some of their land, 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:08.359 which of course Putin knows, which is why he's there 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:12.000 dressed as a general, trying to make sure his troops, 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:16.720 his troops North Koreans take back their chunk of land. 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:22.120 Yeah, the North Koreans convicts and conscripts. Yeah, I'm right, 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:24.679 and just on a purely practical level, if I was 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:26.919 advising Putin, I would say, no, no, we're on the 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:29.240 front foot right now. We got plenty of machine gun 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:31.560 fodder here, let's keep going. 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:33.719 Here's Clarissa a. Ward with another report. 0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:37.359 President Zelenski gave a press conference and he was really 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:41.440 walking a very straight line. He only spoke in Ukrainian. 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:44.280 He would not, despite the best efforts of a number 0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:48.800 of reporters, be drawn into more talk about his spot 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.679 with President Trump. He really wanted to keep the focus 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:55.159 on where the narrative is now. Effectively, we are not 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:58.800 blocking piece. The words he used, I believe, were to say, 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:02.320 it's very important to me to end this war, and 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:06.440 I very much want Americans to know and to feel this. 0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:09.560 Well, we all know where he is. He's got to 0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:10.639 make sure Trump's happy. 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:12.440 Sure. Sure. 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:15.919 By the way, after the Trump spat, his popularity in 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:17.720 Ukraine surged higher. 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:19.520 Interesting which is interesting. 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:23.919 Yeah, speaking of interesting, So there's this story that some 0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:27.080 of our beloved listeners perhaps you're listening now, sent along 0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:29.640 to us, said, you guys are totally missing the boat 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:30.199 on Ukraine. 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:32.680 It's completely corrupt. I've addressed that more than once. 0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:37.920 Every post Soviet republic struggles with corruption and claws its 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:40.920 way toward something close to actual. 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:42.400 Democracy and decency. 0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:45.800 It's inevitable when you throw off the yoak communism. Anyway, 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:48.240 I've never argued for a minute that there's no corruption 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:50.639 in Ukraine. There's plenty of corruption in America. Asked Joe 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:56.800 Biden and Hunter and James anyway, But the story is. 0:19:57.000 --> 0:20:02.040 I feel like that's a complete distraction anyway. 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:06.359 Yeah, if it were a friendly dictatorship, we don't Russia 0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:11.240 want Russia taking it over. No, No, So the other 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:13.760 story that's making the rounds and we've had sent to 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:17.520 us is that Russia, and this is the essence of it. 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:20.480 Russian and Ukrainian negotiators sat down early in the war, 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:23.000 in the spring of twenty twenty two, and reached a deal, 0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:24.800 or were very close to one. 0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:31.480 Ukraine became overconfident and influenced by Boris Johnson of the 0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:35.000 uk and the US decided, no, we're not going to 0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:36.359 sign this excellent deal. 0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:38.159 We're going to fight instead. 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:43.160 And it's the US that promoted this war, not Putin, 0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:47.359 and we're the bad guys. It's very much the same 0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:50.119 strain of thinking that Churchill was the bad guy in 0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:54.240 World War Two and Hitler just accidentally killed all those people. 0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:58.040 Lunacy. Anyway, it goes on. 0:20:58.160 --> 0:21:00.399 At Ukraine accepted the deal, it could have gaped with 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:03.800 its territory, or at least its sovereignty intact, it would 0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:06.200 have had to renounce joining NATO, and the Brits and 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:08.879 the US didn't want that. Therefore, the continuation of the 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:11.359 war for the past four years is essentially Ukraine's fault 0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:14.720 and proof that Putin is right to resist by arms 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:18.640 any Ukrainian steps toward NATO membership. And this justifies abandoning 0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:21.159 Zelensky now to leave them to face the consequences of 0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:24.800 a bad choice. That's pretty good summary of what people 0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:26.720 have tried to pitch to us, whether it's through other 0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:30.040 media or even emails and that sort of thing. And 0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:34.480 as usual, there is a grain of truth to the fraud. 0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:42.399 The myth. It started in Ukraine a Pravda or whatever. 0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:46.600
