And the most significant, 100 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 4: of course, is our national debt. The fact is that 101 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 4: our nation is broke dead is a house of cards. 102 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 4: It can't quickly be dismantled. So here's the strategy remains 103 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 4: the same. Diversify your savings.

And you know, what can you say 119 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 4: about yesterday? It was a SmackDown. It was Trump and 120 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 4: Vance going after an arrogant Vladimir Zelensky, our own Brian 121 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 4: Glenn asking him about his wardrobe. But shows disrespect to 122 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 4: wear a tracksuit or whatever he's wearing, usually camouflage with boots. 123 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 4: Why can't the guy wear a suit and show respect 124 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 4: for the Oval office in the country. He said it 125 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 4: was a costume. No, I think it was more like 126 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 4: the fact that he is in costume. He is an actor, 127 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 4: as we know. So I thought the President the Vice 128 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 4: president really laid it on the line and let this 129 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 4: guy know that we're tired of them coming here taking 130 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 4: our money and not saying thanks. We're tired of him 131 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 4: aligning with the Democrats like he was campaigning in the 132 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 4: presidential election for the Democrats in Pennsylvania. You know, we 133 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 4: want peace. There's got to be a roadmap to peace, 134 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 4: and I think that was made clear. So right now, 135 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 4: this rare earth mineral deal is on hold, and really 136 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 4: the whole effort for a ceasefires on hold and the 137 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 4: war continues. 138 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 3: Now. 139 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 4: Zelenski today is in the UK getting a rousing welcome 140 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 4: from their Prime minister and from Europe because they've been, 141 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 4: of course, very supportive of Ukraine. What needs to happen 142 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 4: is Europe needs to do a lot more and we 143 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 4: need to do a lot less because it's in their neighborhood, 144 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 4: not ours. And we've got problems here, and let's talk 145 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 4: about some of the problems. 146 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 3: We've got them on our southern border. 147 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 4: And the good news is our new Defense secretary says 148 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 4: we're going to be standing military strikes, possibly into fentanyl 149 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 4: labs in Mexico. I don't see why we haven't done 150 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 4: it before. 151 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 3: This is the. 152 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 4: Biggest threat that we face right on our southern border. 153 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,679 Speaker 4: We have poison is coming into our country. They're killing 154 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 4: hundreds of thousands of our people. We have the capability 155 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 4: to take out all these drug cartels, all these fentanyl labs. 156 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 4: We got to do it. That is a bigger enemy 157 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 4: than al Qaeda. Mexico is getting the message. They have 158 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 4: extradited to twenty eight of their cartel bosses to the US, 159 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 4: so they're finally seeing the importance of working with the 160 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 4: United States. They're putting more of their troops on the border, 161 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 4: say they're going to do more to stop the flow 162 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 4: of illegal drugs and illegal aliens into the country. Mexico 163 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 4: has obviously allowed a lot of this to happen over 164 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 4: the years, as as Canada. That's why President Trump is 165 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 4: dealing with them in a tough way. That's why President 166 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 4: Trump says tariffs are going to go on because they're 167 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 4: not doing enough, and they're not doing enough, and we 168 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 4: need to maintain a foreign position with these countries. They 169 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 4: are quote unquote friends, but they're acting like enemies when 170 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 4: they allow drugs and illegal to pour into our country. 171 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 4: All Right, a big disappointment this week. Let's just be 172 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 4: a fair. We were promised Epstein files. We were promised 173 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 4: a big revelation from one of the big controversies that 174 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 4: we've had over the years. What's really in the Epstein files, 175 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 4: what's in the Epstein black book, what's on the flight logs? 176 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 4: Where's all the information about Epstein? Well, Pampondi went on 177 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 4: TV promised that it would be. 178 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 3: Released. What we got in. 179 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 4: Some social media influencers got was something that was rehashed 180 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 4: and something that was repackaged, something that had already been 181 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 4: presented to the public years ago. So there was very little, 182 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 4: if any new information and what was released, and we 183 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 4: were promised transparency. We were promised that all these files 184 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 4: would be released, and we're still waiting for the JFK files. 185 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,719 Speaker 4: That's supposedly on her desk too. She needs to get 186 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 4: it off her desk and get it into the hands 187 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 4: of the American people. We need transparenc So we say, okay, 188 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 4: you need to get to the bottom of it, Bondi. 189 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 4: The AG is blaming the FBI office in New York 190 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 4: for withholding Epstein file information, withholding documents the new FBI director. 191 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 4: We don't have any time to waste. Got to get 192 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 4: to the bottom of that. All that information needs to 193 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 4: be compiled and to release to the American people. We've 194 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 4: got to stop protecting criminals, stop protecting people that are 195 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 4: influential and get the information out. We need transparency and 196 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 4: truth and both Pam Bondie and the FBI director promise 197 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 4: set and we're going to keep them to their promises, folks, 198 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 4: because those are important parts. 199 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 3: Of this whole agenda. 200 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 4: Truth and transparency and the releasing of all this information 201 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 4: to the American people. 202 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 3: It's got to happen. One of the things that I 203 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 3: wanted to. 204 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 4: Share with you that came out this week is a 205 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 4: new poll from Gallup that showed that the American people 206 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 4: now have the lowest level of trust in the media 207 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 4: in recorded history. Only thirty one percent of Americans trusts 208 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 4: the media, and I would say it's even less than 209 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:16,359 Speaker 4: that because Gallup is not exactly an unbiased polling organization. 210 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 4: So that just shows you how the American people have 211 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,679 Speaker 4: left the mainstream media, the legacy media. They're coming over 212 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 4: to Real America's Voice, coming over to other outlets for truth, 213 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 4: and the legacy media is losing not only their prestige, 214 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 4: losing their position, they're also losing popularity with the American 215 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 4: people and for good reason. And finally, DOGE is setting 216 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 4: up task forces in states around the country. Red states 217 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 4: are jumping on this and I'm proud to say that 218 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 4: we're doing it here in Louisiana. I have to give 219 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 4: myself credit. It was my idea to the governor. The 220 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 4: governor said that he would do it. And kudos to 221 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 4: our governor Jeff Landry. He has started a Louisiana based 222 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 4: DOGE and we've seen it in other states across the 223 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 4: country and this is what states need, this is what 224 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 4: our country needs. So kudos to all behind the effort 225 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 4: for government efficiency across the country. 226 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 3: We got a lot to get to. 227 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 4: Brief time out, will take care of some business, keep 228 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 4: it right here and brings up politics on Real America's voice. 229 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 3: I'm Jeff Career. We'll be right back. 230 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 5: Well, let me tell you a little something bounty. We're 231 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 5: in it Saturday night on you to blow walal Zundsta. 232 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 3: We'll come back. 233 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 4: And very pleased to bring on our first guest. He 234 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 4: is a former US senior diplomat. He's a recipient of 235 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 4: the Distinguished Foreign Service Award. He's also a venture capitalist. 236 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 4: He's also someone who has been very close in tune 237 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 4: with what is going on in Ukraine. He's just back 238 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 4: from Kiev and also was in Washington, d C. For 239 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 4: the meeting between the President and President Zelensky. He's also 240 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 4: author of the new book Portraits of Ukraine, A Nation 241 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 4: at War. Let's welcome our special guest, Ambassador Gregory Slayton. 242 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 3: Ambassador, how are you, sir? Welcome? 243 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 6: Thank you very much. It's an honor to be with you. 244 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you for joining us. 245 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 4: So President Zelensky is now as we speak, meeting with 246 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 4: the UK Prime Minister. He has, of course other meetings scheduled. 247 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 4: Has been receiving strong support from the European Union. But 248 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 4: I do want to say I think in the past 249 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 4: he has received strong support from President Trump as well. 250 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 4: President Trump supplied Ukraine with javelins that were very important 251 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,559 Speaker 4: for their ability to ward off the full extent of 252 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,079 Speaker 4: the Russian invasion. I think Barack Obama gave them blankets. 253 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 4: And then, of course, you know, we had the breakdown yesterday. 254 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 4: I think it's recoverable. I think we can get back 255 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 4: on track. I wonder if part of the problem in 256 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 4: the meeting yesterday, Ambassador, and you're very close to this, 257 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 4: you can shed some light on it. Was there possibly 258 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 4: a language issue. I mean, I know presidents Lengthy can 259 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 4: speak English, but I don't think he's one hundred percent 260 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 4: adept at all the different nuances of our language. Is 261 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 4: that possibly an issue here? 262 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 7: Definitely, you've got your finger on one of the problems. 263 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 7: Of course, Zelenski, himself trained as a lawyer, never practice, 264 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 7: was an actor and a producer, has zero experience in 265 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 7: politics or diplomacy. I give him a lot of credit 266 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 7: because he's under huge pressure and he was exhausted yesterday. 267 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 6: You can see it. 268 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 7: And certainly, as you point out, there are some words 269 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 7: that he doesn't perhaps understand. I'm not sure, but I 270 00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 7: don't think he understands there trigger words that, of of course, 271 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 7: would upset President Trump or Vice President Vance. 272 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 6: And I think that was one of the things. Yes, 273 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 6: I do. 274 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 4: So you know, the blow up occurred yesterday, and I 275 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 4: think that you know, Art you said and bless you 276 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 4: and uh, you know. I think what President Trump and JD. 277 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 4: Vance were conveying is that, you know, we've given a 278 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 4: lot of money to Ukraine. We want to make sure 279 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 4: that the Ukrainians are thankful President Zelensky, he says he was. 280 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 2: JD. 281 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 3: Van said he. 282 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 4: Needed to see more thanks and also he accused President 283 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 4: Zelensky of getting involved in the presidential election last time 284 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 4: coming to Pennsylvania taking a position there. I think Zelensky 285 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 4: probably said he didn't do it, but Jade Vance thought 286 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 4: it was inappropriate for him to insert himself into the election. 287 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 4: So now President Trump has obviously won a mandate and 288 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 4: he's got a position where he wants to. 289 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 3: Bring this to an end. Can we get there? 290 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 7: Ambassador Well, I would take a little bit of issue. 291 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 7: By the way, with Vance and Pennsylvania, it wasn't a 292 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 7: campaign stop. 293 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 6: It's a long story. 294 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 7: But let's get to the current question, which is the 295 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 7: exact right one. Let me ask you a question. If 296 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 7: someone came into your house, took over your kitchen and 297 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 7: maybe your bedroom, and killed a lot of your family 298 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 7: and raped some of the other family members and then said, okay, 299 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 7: let's do a ceasefire in place right now, what would 300 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 7: you say, you know, or a bigger, stronger neighbor came 301 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 7: and said, oh, you got to do a ceasefire now. 302 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 6: I think you would not be real happy for that. 303 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 7: And I understand the Ukrainian's position. Look, they want peace, 304 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 7: they're exhausted. I mean they've lost five our estimate, and 305 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 7: the book Thank you so much for mentioning, goes into 306 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 7: great detail about not just the war, but also Ukrainian 307 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 7: history and the invasion and how to get out of 308 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 7: this mess. But I think that a just and lasting 309 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 7: piece is what we all need, and I appreciate that 310 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 7: President Trump is pushing on that. My concern is that 311 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 7: we don't a piece like Nixon and Kissinger. Now you 312 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 7: might be too young for this, brother, but back in 313 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,199 Speaker 7: the seventies, Nixon and Kissinger did peace, you know, the 314 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 7: peace treaty with the North Vietnamese, which fell apart in 315 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 7: six months, and our allies in South Vietnam were completely 316 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 7: left to them. 317 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 4: So we can here's what and you make a good 318 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 4: point there, Here's what I would say. How about this, 319 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 4: how about a guy named Ronald Reagan who had successful 320 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 4: peace deals with Mikhil Gorbachev and really made some progress. Now, 321 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 4: back then that was a Soviet dictatorship and bunch of killers, 322 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 4: obviously horrible people. I don't think Vladimir Putin is any 323 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 4: worse than the communist dictators that were in place in 324 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,479 Speaker 4: the Soviet Union. And we talked to them, we had 325 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 4: agreements with them. That's why I think it's important that 326 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 4: we do talk to Russia. Now, you might disagree but 327 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 4: I think what President Trump is doing and wanting to 328 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 4: open up talks with Russia is a good thing. 329 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 3: Would you agree, I mean. 330 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 7: I would to a point. I mean, you cannot normalize 331 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 7: as behavior like Putin has engaged in, not just here 332 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 7: but many other places. I mean, remember the Wagner Group. 333 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 7: They're basically going around fomenting coup d'etas all over Africa, 334 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 7: replacing democratically elected governments. Yes, week, I agree with that, 335 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 7: But with dictatorships that are giving the Wagner Group in 336 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 7: Russia part of the mineral resources, that's just twenty first 337 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 7: century colonialism. 338 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 6: And that's just one example of many. Remember that. But 339 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 6: Putin has had most of his opponents killed or jailed. 340 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 7: So let's not talk about freedom of assembly, our freedom 341 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 7: of speople. 342 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 4: All right, But I would say this, the Soviet Union 343 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 4: was also going around the world invading countries, and it 344 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 4: was also they were involved in a lot of evil, 345 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 4: and we still talk to them. I would just say this, 346 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 4: when we're running out of time and we're going to 347 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 4: link to your book and encourage people to check it out. 348 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 4: I think we have a better chance for peace under 349 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,479 Speaker 4: President Trump than we did under Biden. 350 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 8: I totally agree. 351 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 4: Trump is a consonant deal maker and if anyone can 352 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 4: bring to a successful conclusion, it's President Trump. 353 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 3: Would you agree, Ambassador. 354 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 7: I do agree, and I agree for many reasons. He's 355 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 7: a negotiators, a very smart guy. But also he is 356 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:16,360 Speaker 7: a little bit unpredictable. Biden was predictable, Obama was predictable. 357 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 7: They would always back down no. 358 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 6: Matter what you did. You built new naval bases into 359 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 6: South China. 360 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 7: See you know, Baracou said, well, we don't want to 361 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 7: have a problem. 362 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 6: That's a disaster over time. 363 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 7: And Trump has shown his first term he destroyed a 364 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 7: lot of Wagner mercenaries in Syria. 365 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 6: You remember that, a lot hundreds yunderds. 366 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 3: I do, and I yeah. 367 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 7: So we need peace through strength, and I do hope 368 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 7: and pray that President Trump is the man. 369 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 4: All right, Ambassador, thank you so much. And again I 370 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 4: point to Ronald Reagan. That was his motto, Piece three strength, 371 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 4: and it worked well for Reagan. We brought about the 372 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 4: end of the evil Empire. He didn't launch us into 373 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 4: a lot of wars. Neither has Trump. And that's why 374 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 4: the man get this done is Donald Trump. I think 375 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 4: he is a consummate peacemaker. I think that's gonna be 376 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 4: the most important thing in his legacy. He said that 377 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,959 Speaker 4: yesterday at the White House. He should have received several 378 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 4: Nobel Piece prizes. He should receive another one. If he 379 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 4: can somehow end this war, he's the man. 380 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 3: To do it. Let's go to some of the clips 381 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 3: from yesterday. 382 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 4: But first let's start with what President Zelensky was used 383 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 4: to under Joe Biden. Let's go to clip number one. 384 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 4: All right, that was under Joe Biden. Now let's see 385 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 4: what happened yesterday.

Can have no no, no, kay. 388 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 8: He's done a lot of talking. Your country is in 389 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 8: big trouble. 390 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 3: I know you're not winning. 391 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 8: You're not winning this. You have a damn good chance 392 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 8: of winning out, Okay, because. 393 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 5: A president we're staying in now, a country staying strong. 394 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 5: From the very beginning of the war, we've been alone, 395 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 5: and we are thankful. 396 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 6: I said, thank you haven't been this cabinet. 397 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,439 Speaker 8: We gave you to the stupid president three hundred and 398 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 8: fifty billion dollars, We gave your military equipment. 399 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: You you met are. 400 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 8: Brave, but they had to use our military one of 401 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 8: our blessed. If you didn't have our military equipment, you 402 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 8: didn't have our military equipment, this war would have been 403 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 8: over in two weeks. 404 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 405 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 4: Amen, Here the president talks about cards and gambling. 406 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 3: With World War three. Let's check out clip number three. 407 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 5: A lot of a lot of questions. Let's start from 408 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 5: the beginning. Sure, first of all, during the war, everybody 409 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 5: has problems, even you. But you have nice ocean and 410 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 5: don't feel now, but you will feel it in the future. 411 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 5: God bless you, God bless You're not blessed, You're not 412 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 5: the war. 413 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 8: Don't tell us what we're gonna feel. We're trying to 414 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 8: solve a problem. Don't tell us what we're going to feel. 415 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:03,679 Speaker 5: I'm not telling you because. 416 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 8: You're in no position to dictate that. 417 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 9: Remember this, you're in. 418 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 8: No position to dictate what we're going to feel. 419 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 5: We're going to feel very good, feel influence. 420 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 8: We're gonna feel very good and very strong, feel influenced. 421 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 8: You're right now, not in a very good position. You've 422 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 8: allowed you to be in a free word. 423 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 6: Beginning to be right about from the very beginning of 424 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 6: the war. 425 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 8: We're not in a good position. You don't have the 426 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 8: cards right now with us. You start having cards right now. 427 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 3: You don't wear your playing card. 428 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 8: You're gambling with the lives of millions of people. You're 429 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 8: gambling with world War three. You're gambling with World War three. 430 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 8: And what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country. 431 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 8: This country value far more than a lot of people 432 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 8: said they should have. 433 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, Zelenski did not handle this well at all. You 434 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 4: just antagonized President Trump. And President Trump is speaking truth. 435 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 4: He is gambling with World War three. We need this 436 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 4: to end. President Trump saying in this next clip, he's 437 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 4: in the middle. He wants to solve this, bring the 438 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 4: sides together, the ultimate peace maker. Let's check out clip 439 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 4: number four. 440 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 2: I'm in the middle. I want to solve this thing. 441 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 2: I'm for both. 442 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 8: I want to get it solved. And it's wonderful to 443 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 8: speak badly about somebody else, but. 444 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 2: I want to get it solved. If we can solve it, great. 445 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 8: If we can't solve it, they're going to have to 446 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 8: find it out, and who knows what's going to happen. 447 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 8: But I want to see it get. 448 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 4: Solved, and so do the American people. You know, we're 449 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,439 Speaker 4: tired of pumping, you know, hundreds of billions of dollars 450 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 4: into Ukraine. We're tired of having the threat of World 451 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 4: War three. We want peace. We want this to come 452 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 4: to end. We want our president and our Congress to 453 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 4: focus on our country and the problems here. And we're 454 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 4: making great progress.

I thought he 468 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,919 Speaker 4: asked some great questions and he's been doing an awesome 469 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,439 Speaker 4: job in covering President Trump. Our White House correspondent for 470 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 4: Real America's Voice, the one and only Brian Glenn is 471 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 4: joining us here from beautiful mar A Lago. 472 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 9: Hey, Brian, Well, we're just down the street from there, 473 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 9: but we are in sunny South Florida. It's great to 474 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 9: be here. We left d C yesterday and it wasn't 475 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 9: quite as warm as it is right now, but here 476 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:15,360 Speaker 9: in South Florida. 477 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 3: Brian. 478 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 4: I loved your questions yesterday, the first one to President 479 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 4: Trump about his legacy. And I had written a column 480 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 4: recently that I said that peace would be President Trump's 481 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 4: greatest achievement, and I was really glad to hear him 482 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 4: say that. You know, peacemaker was a title that he 483 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 4: wanted in his legacy, and I think he's a man 484 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,479 Speaker 4: of peace. He should have received the Nobel Peace Prize, 485 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 4: Brian for what he did in his first term. And 486 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 4: what he's trying to do here is so difficult. Only 487 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 4: he can do it, Brian. That's my view. 488 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 9: Yeah, And I wanted to point that out in that 489 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 9: room in front of everyone, that he said it on 490 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 9: the campaign trail, and you and I did many rallies 491 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 9: where he said that speech about being the peacemaker. It 492 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 9: wanted to be his legacy, not only in the this war, 493 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 9: but not getting us into any other foreign wars. And 494 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 9: that was the meat of my question. I think he 495 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 9: liked the question, obviously, he did thank me. For asking it. 496 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 9: But at the end of the day, that's what that 497 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 9: meeting was scheduled to do, was to bring two countries 498 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 9: together for peace. 499 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 4: And I love the fact that he's committed to that. 500 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 4: He's not going to give up. He's gonna I think 501 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 4: he's gonna achieve a piece here. And again I've always 502 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 4: thought he should receive the Nobel Peace Prize, and this 503 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 4: is another reason why he should. Now, your second question 504 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 4: was one that a lot of us have been asking 505 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 4: for years. Now, what's the deal with President Zlynsky not 506 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 4: dressing appropriately for these meetings? And You've get a lot 507 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 4: of hate from around the world from supporters of President's Zelensky. 508 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 4: But it was a very good question, Brian, and one 509 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 4: that a lot of us have been asking. So I'm 510 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 4: glad you asked him. 511 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 9: Well, you know what, I wasn't trying to be snarky 512 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 9: with it. I was simply just wanting to know because 513 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 9: I feel like sometimes you can judge a book by 514 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 9: its cover, and the way he has approached these meetings, 515 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 9: the way he's been to Capitol Hill prior to that visit, 516 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 9: wearing the green jumpsuit, going around asking basically for money 517 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 9: and You're in the highest office of the highest government 518 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 9: in the world, and I was thinking to myself, we've 519 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 9: already sent you some say, close to three hundred million 520 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 9: dollars in aid. Can you not put on a coat 521 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 9: and tie and look presentable and least outwardly show your 522 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 9: respect for the office and for all of Americans. And 523 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 9: I think Jeff that question really reflected what he felt inside. 524 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 9: And we later found out through the dialogue with jade 525 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 9: Van's vice President Vance and President Trump that when that 526 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 9: last eight minutes of that press conference was straight fire 527 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 9: and that was pure emotion coming out of everyone. So 528 00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:00,679 Speaker 9: it is about being respectable, and it is about, you know, 529 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 9: perhaps being appreciative of what the US taxpayers have given 530 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 9: you in the last three and a half four years. 531 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 4: I remember back in twenty nineteen when he met President Trump, 532 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:12,880 Speaker 4: he had a coat and tie on. 533 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 3: I mean, he had a war suit. 534 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 4: So now since the war started, he's been, you know, 535 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 4: dressing in fatigues and dressing in track suits and that 536 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 4: kind of thing. And I just think you're right, it 537 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 4: would show respect to the country that's given him three 538 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 4: hundred and fifty billion or hover much we given him that. Yeah, 539 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 4: he respects the office, respects the people, is going to 540 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 4: dress appropriately. He called it a costume, which I thought 541 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,439 Speaker 4: was ridiculous, but that's what he said. 542 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 3: So anyway, I feel for you. 543 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 11: I know you're getting a liner for yeah, yeah, yeah, 544 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 11: I've had a lot of heat from that. 545 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 2: You know. 546 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 9: Obviously, I was just going to say, that's the costume, 547 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 9: is what. 548 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 3: He calls his attire. 549 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 9: I was told in Ukrainian culture they often refer to 550 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 9: it as a costume. I don't know if he was 551 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 9: just trying to play that up, but I am getting 552 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 9: a lot of criticism for asking that question, mostly from 553 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 9: people obviously who probably hated President Trump from day one. 554 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 9: They don't like them, they didn't never will like them, 555 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 9: and they fully support the involvement in Ukraine, and they 556 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 9: course a lot of hate from overseas too. But I 557 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,719 Speaker 9: equal time, though, I have gotten a lot of support 558 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 9: for asking that question, Like people say, hey, we've all 559 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 9: been thinking about that, you know. So I did what 560 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 9: I did, but I'm not going to say it does 561 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 9: not come with a little bit of a price. 562 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 3: Well on getting I'm. 563 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 4: Giving you media, I'm giving you nothing but support.

He is the author of the Multi Front 606 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 4: War and that's certainly something that we have been facing. 607 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 4: Kennabramowitz is with us. Ken, how are you, sir? Welcome? 608 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 2: Very good, Thank you. 609 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 3: Well. Tell us a little bit about your book, Ken. 610 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 11: Well, the book actually started on nine to eleven when 611 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 11: I realized there was something major wrong, and I embarked 612 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 11: on a now a twenty five year effort to teach 613 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 11: myself national secure. And about ten years ago I realized 614 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 11: that America was at existential risk from its enemies because 615 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 11: we were fighting a multifront war, which I call World 616 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 11: War three, but we didn't know that, and so I 617 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 11: wanted to alert our government officials and our people that 618 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 11: we have to prepare for World War three, which we're 619 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 11: in right now. 620 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:21,959 Speaker 2: And so that's why I wrote the book. 621 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 4: So you talk about defending America from political Islam, China, Russia, pandemics, 622 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 4: and racial strife. Yeah, that we're facing a lot of 623 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 4: that right now. And how do you think President Trump 624 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 4: is doing so far in dealing with this multi front 625 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 4: war in his first month or so in office. 626 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 11: Well, Trump always does great. So you know, he starts 627 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 11: off with an A. The only question is is that 628 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 11: does it become an A plus or an A minus. 629 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,719 Speaker 11: But he's an a candidate and then a president and 630 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 11: so in domestic policy he gets an A plus. In 631 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 11: foreign see, he's still working things out because there's been 632 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 11: bad guys places in the world. He doesn't quite have 633 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 11: his team congealed together just yet, so. 634 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 2: He doesn't get an A plus yet just yet. 635 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 11: Uh, yesterday was a disaster for uh, for everybody. Everybody lost, 636 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 11: But uh, President it's mostly Zelensky's fault. 637 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 2: President Trump is tough and when he has. 638 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 11: Ideas and Zelensky just played them wrong, he just he 639 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 11: should have just walked in and give me the best 640 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 11: deal I can get. 641 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 2: Have a nice day. And so Zelensky made life very difficult. 642 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 11: But the point I'm getting to is Trump has to 643 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 11: deal with Ukraine and Russia, with Israel and Iron, Taiwan 644 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 11: and China all simultaneously. He needs one very strong person 645 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 11: under him to manage all those affairs, and then he 646 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 11: shows up on the big days. 647 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 10: Right. 648 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I think Kenny's got a great team. I 649 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 4: like little job Marko Rubio is doing. I think Pete 650 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 4: Hexatt's going to be strong. I think JD. Vans is strong. 651 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 4: I think he's got you. Certainly compare his team to 652 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 4: Joe Biden his team in his Night and Day. 653 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 3: I mean, we have. 654 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 4: Much better competent people. So I am feeling good about 655 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 4: President Trump ultimately bringing bad peace here with Ukraine and 656 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,839 Speaker 4: Russia and dealing with all these other hotspots. Ken, thank 657 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,959 Speaker 4: you for being with us, author of the multi front war. 658 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 4: We appreciated very much. Speaking of that meeting with Zelenski, 659 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 4: Lindsey Graham had some comments. Now, Lindsey Graham has been 660 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 4: a guy who's been very very pro Zolensky. Here's what 661 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 4: he had to say. Let's check out clip number five. 662 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 10: Complete utter disaster. I've been to Ukraine eight or nine 663 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 10: times since the war started. I understand the consequences of 664 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 10: Putin's actions against Ukraine. I appreciate what the Ukrainian people 665 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 10: have done. They fought like tigers. At the end of 666 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,919 Speaker 10: the day, I was hoping that this minerals deal, which 667 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,879 Speaker 10: would be transformative in the relationship, would go over well. 668 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 10: I talked to Zelenski this morning. Don't take the bait. 669 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 10: President Trump was in a very good mood last night. 670 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 10: Somebody asked me, am I embarrassed about Trump.

So I have a good message to 697 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:52,840 Speaker 12: share with your audience today. 698 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,759 Speaker 4: Yes, so you talk about you talk about de I 699 00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 4: being the big con, and how do we get into 700 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 4: this mess with DEI? 701 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 3: What's the history of that, Stan Well, d. 702 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,439 Speaker 12: I's been with us for a very long time, too long, 703 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,360 Speaker 12: and they've always been scratching at the door of higher education. 704 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:11,840 Speaker 12: And I'm here to speak about higher education explicitly, not 705 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 12: the corporate world. But they've been scratching at the door 706 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 12: trying to get access to student to our students, to 707 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 12: our faculty, to our staff, to train them in the 708 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 12: doctrine of dei, which is certainly not what is portrayed 709 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:27,759 Speaker 12: to be. 710 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:29,600 Speaker 2: And I think that. 711 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 12: The summer of twenty twenty, with the unfortunate death of 712 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 12: a criminal in the streets of Minneapolis, opened the gates 713 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 12: to the university. It says University of presidents were desperate 714 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 12: to keep the disorder of the summer of twenty twenty 715 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 12: off the campuses, and they admitted to guilt. They being 716 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,440 Speaker 12: the presidents, admitted to this guilt, and they accepted the 717 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 12: con story of the grifters who were coming onto the campus. 718 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 12: And that con story is this that America is inherently racist. 719 00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 12: It is riven with institutional racism, is with white supremacy culture, 720 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 12: and students and faculty need to understand that they are 721 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:10,279 Speaker 12: part of the problem. And our campuses are riven with 722 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 12: rampant racism. 723 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 2: That's their word. 724 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:13,960 Speaker 6: That's a good story. 725 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think that's a good overview. Just to 726 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 4: let our viewers know. DEI siphon funds into social engineering programs, 727 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,879 Speaker 4: suckered and swindled people at fueled anti semitism at rob 728 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 4: students of fair treatment, took away freedom of speech, fired 729 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,280 Speaker 4: people that should have been fired, kept people off campus 730 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 4: that should have been kept off. So, as standpointed out, 731 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,839 Speaker 4: I think a lot of it did really blow up 732 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 4: after the George Floyd incident. And these grifters, how much 733 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:51,560 Speaker 4: money did they make off with? I mean, stand are 734 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:52,880 Speaker 4: they still on these campuses? 735 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 2: Oh, they certainly are. 736 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,480 Speaker 12: And the industry is a nine billion dollar industry every year. 737 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,719 Speaker 12: And I can point to the University of Michigan, which 738 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 12: is gets picked on a lot with good reason. 739 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 6: They've spent a quarter of a billion dollars on their own. 740 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:12,359 Speaker 12: DEI program since twenty sixteen, with no indication that they've 741 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,640 Speaker 12: had any kind of positive effect at all. The current 742 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 12: DEI mandarin makes her name is Tabia Chavou, and she 743 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 12: makes four hundred and seventeen thousand dollars a year at Berkeley. 744 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,240 Speaker 12: The Dania Maptos makes three hundred and thirty one thousand 745 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 12: dollars a year. And so this is the magnitude of 746 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 12: the money that's being swindled out of our universities, and 747 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 12: eventually it comes from from tuition from students, it comes 748 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,560 Speaker 12: from funding from the federal government, comes from funding from 749 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 12: state coffers. 750 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,440 Speaker 6: And it's a wonderful scam if you're a part of it. 751 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 12: It's a gravy train that's, unfortunately for them, is coming 752 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:50,759 Speaker 12: to an end. 753 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 2: It's coming to an end. 754 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's what I want to talk about, bringing 755 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 4: this to an end so we can save higher education. 756 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 4: I know people that have kids now that aren't really 757 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 4: sending their kids to colleges and universities because of all 758 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:10,360 Speaker 4: of this toxic indoctrination that they have seen, and their 759 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,400 Speaker 4: kids who just want to get right out into the workforce. 760 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 4: They don't want to be saddled with all this debt, 761 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 4: they don't want to be exposed to all this indoctrination, 762 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,839 Speaker 4: so they're going right into the workforce. 763 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 3: And how are all. 764 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:26,359 Speaker 4: These college and the universities gonna stay afloat if they 765 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,240 Speaker 4: don't have the students going forward? 766 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 3: Does stand well? 767 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:33,480 Speaker 12: Jeff, I'm ecstatic optimistic because of what's happened with the 768 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:37,279 Speaker 12: deadline of the universities given to the universities by the President. 769 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:37,840 Speaker 2: Of the United States. 770 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,279 Speaker 12: That ended yesterday, and that deadline was to end your 771 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:45,719 Speaker 12: DEI programs, to end illegal discrimination on your campuses, and 772 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,080 Speaker 12: end the violation of constitutional protections. 773 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,400 Speaker 3: And that came to an end yesterday. 774 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 12: And if schools are do not comply with that, then 775 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,520 Speaker 12: they will face an Office of Civil Rights investigation, which 776 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 12: no one really wants. So for student, for parents and 777 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,160 Speaker 12: students who are considering colleges and saying, you know, maybe 778 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 12: that's not what I want to do. 779 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:05,560 Speaker 2: I think the future is. 780 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 12: Bright for American universities as we begin to regain the 781 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,719 Speaker 12: stature and regain the excellence that have always been characteristics 782 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 12: of our universities.

You've been featured in a 803 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:15,000 Speaker 4: lot of different publications, including the Washington Examiner, and you've 804 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 4: been all over the airwaves talking about these issues working 805 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:22,480 Speaker 4: in public policy. Give us some I know you've advocated 806 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 4: for school choice and the movement of government barriers and 807 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,799 Speaker 4: legislatures all over the country. Give us your snapshot of 808 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 4: how the president is doing and his team dealing with 809 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 4: these educational issues so far in his second term. 810 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,160 Speaker 13: So far, we've been seeing a lot going on in 811 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 13: the Department of Education right now, including that portal where 812 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:46,560 Speaker 13: families can start to report DEI in schools. And of course, 813 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,719 Speaker 13: on Monday, Linda McMahon, who is hopefully going to be 814 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,640 Speaker 13: the next and last Apartment of Education Secretary, we'll have 815 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 13: that final confirmation vote as the next Education secretary. So 816 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,560 Speaker 13: it's I'd be really cool to see what happens when 817 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,200 Speaker 13: that happens. But we've already been seeing so much work 818 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,719 Speaker 13: with the current Department of Education right now. 819 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 4: How much waste is there in the Department of Education, Francis. 820 00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:20,759 Speaker 13: Look, we saw millions of dollars going to DEI programs 821 00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,359 Speaker 13: all over the country when it comes to education, and 822 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:28,640 Speaker 13: we've had Doge and Elon Musk come in to start 823 00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,799 Speaker 13: cutting that right now. I think in the fiscal year 824 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,920 Speaker 13: twenty twenty four last year, we had two hundred and 825 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:38,320 Speaker 13: sixty eight billion dollars for expenditures for the Department of Education. 826 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:42,360 Speaker 13: So they have so much money, and where's that going 827 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,120 Speaker 13: at this point? Is it really going to helping students? 828 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,600 Speaker 13: Because what do they do? They take money from us, 829 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 13: they burn a lot of it in the bureaucracy as 830 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,640 Speaker 13: well as waste a lot of it in the federal government, 831 00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,680 Speaker 13: and then send it back with to states with all 832 00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,759 Speaker 13: these strings attached. 833 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:00,400 Speaker 2: Insist. 834 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,920 Speaker 4: President Trump talks a lot about the United States used 835 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,280 Speaker 4: to be near the top of the rankings in education 836 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:06,160 Speaker 4: across the world. 837 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,960 Speaker 3: He said, now we're fortieth at the bottom. 838 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,759 Speaker 4: Is President Trump right when he says that, And how 839 00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,719 Speaker 4: did we get there, Francis. 840 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,839 Speaker 13: The Department of Education as we know it today was 841 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,240 Speaker 13: created in nineteen seventy nine by former President Jimmy Carter, 842 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:27,960 Speaker 13: and ever since then, our test scores and academic standards 843 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,280 Speaker 13: haven't been doing as well because, as we know, every 844 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,280 Speaker 13: single state is different and they all have different needs 845 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,360 Speaker 13: when it comes to education. Look at the test scores 846 00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,960 Speaker 13: of right now. We just have them released a few 847 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:44,000 Speaker 13: weeks ago, and it's not any better than it was 848 00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,359 Speaker 13: in the past. In fact, some of the scores have 849 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:51,360 Speaker 13: gotten worse, especially in math and reading, just those basic 850 00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:53,400 Speaker 13: core principles we need in. 851 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,000 Speaker 6: Our education system. 852 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:59,040 Speaker 13: And they're not even close to pre pandemic levels either. 853 00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,839 Speaker 6: So we haven't improved. So what do we do. 854 00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,600 Speaker 13: We need to transform education to return it back to 855 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,480 Speaker 13: the states so they have more power and how they 856 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,919 Speaker 13: can control how education works for each state. 857 00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:14,719 Speaker 4: I completely agree, France is well done. Thank you so 858 00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:19,279 Speaker 4: much for joining us, and let's get this department shut down. 859 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,840 Speaker 4: Let's get the money going back to the state level 860 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 4: where people can spend it wisely and make sure it 861 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,200 Speaker 4: gets to the children. And there's not many bureaucrats siphoning 862 00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,320 Speaker 4: all these dollars and wasting our tax money. 863 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,080 Speaker 3: So that is the goal. 864 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,719 Speaker 4: All right, Francis, appreciate it very much.
