1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,800 Speaker 1: Coming up next, our final News round Up and Information 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: Overload Hour. 3 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,559 Speaker 2: All right, News Roundup and Information Overload Hour. Here's our 4 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,639 Speaker 2: toll free telephone number if you want to be a 5 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 2: part of the program. It's eight hundred and niney four 6 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 2: one sean if you want to join us. So, a 7 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 2: close friend of mine is friends with well, somebody high 8 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 2: up in the Ukrainian Army, and this individual sent him 9 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 2: and he has now shared it with me. Two very 10 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 2: short videos of Russian war atrocities taken from the cell 11 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,200 Speaker 2: phones of dead Russian soldiers. In one of the videos, 12 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 2: I just watched it during the break. You can't believe 13 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 2: that evil on this level exists, but it does. In 14 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 2: one video, Ukrainian soldiers being killed and beheaded. I mean 15 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 2: you can see it now. You know, if you go back, 16 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 2: you think, well, that can't happen. Go back to remember 17 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 2: Isis on the Beach or Wall Street Journal reporter back 18 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 2: in the day, Daniel Pearl. And you know, people will 19 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 2: ask me why do you watch it. I'm like, well, 20 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 2: it's part of my job, and I cannot possibly explain 21 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 2: in detail just the level of evil and depravity that 22 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: goes on. And I know we've had a lot of 23 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 2: smart callers today hoping that you know, gives sanctions a 24 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 2: much you know, a greater chance, and hopefully that will 25 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 2: bring Vladimir Putin back to the table faster. Look, I 26 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 2: would argue that Putin wouldn't have gone to Alaska but 27 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 2: for Donald Trump insisting that NATO pay more than double 28 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 2: what they were paying in terms of their defense. I 29 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 2: don't think Putin would have gone to Alaska had not 30 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 2: been Donald Trump's trade deal with the European Union and 31 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 2: instead of them funding Putin's war machine, You're committee nearly 32 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 2: a trillion dollars to purchase American energy. I don't think 33 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 2: he would have come to the table at President Trump 34 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 2: not put a fifty percent tariff on India if they 35 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 2: keep importing Russian energy. And I think the fact that 36 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: the President is selling the most sophisticated weaponry to the 37 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 2: Ukrainians also is a big deal. In a second video, 38 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 2: you see a Ukrainian soldier unarmed. He's smoking like his 39 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 2: last cigarette. There are two Russian soldiers. One says to 40 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 2: the other are you filming? The other indicates yes. The 41 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 2: Ukrainian soldier says, glory to Ukraine. The Russians open fire, 42 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 2: with an automatic weapon and they're the Ukrainian soldier lies 43 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 2: dead and the Russian says, die b I you know 44 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,839 Speaker 2: how to spell it, b it, We'll put it there. 45 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 3: How does this end? Now? 46 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,959 Speaker 2: A lot of you have mentioned sanctions today, and I said, 47 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 2: I'm all for sanctions. I think sanctions is a great idea. 48 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 2: I think the fact that Lindsey Graham put forward a 49 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 2: bill and got eighty five Senators to sign on to 50 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 2: it is almost in this part as an raa. You 51 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 2: don't see that kind of partisan bipartisanship. You just don't 52 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: see it. Anyway, he joins us now to get his 53 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 2: thoughts on what happened today, what the likely outcome is, 54 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 2: whether I'm right or wrong in my prediction that if 55 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 2: there's going to be an early end of the war, 56 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 2: it's not going to be sanctions that will bring an 57 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 2: early into it, but it would probably involve land swaps 58 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 2: and security guarantees, of which the President has said even 59 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 2: Article five NATO Article five like security measures for Ukraine, 60 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 2: but it would involve land swaps anyway. Senator Graham, welcome back. 61 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 2: How are you sir? 62 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 4: Thank you? That's good summary I got. It's funny you 63 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 4: mentioned about the atrocities. I got add some images last 64 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 4: night sent to me from President Fluency's folks. Three young 65 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 4: kids got killed last night, and yeah, so brutal war 66 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 4: heads off to President Trump. I see a light at 67 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 4: the end of the tunnel. I hope it's not a train, 68 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 4: but I really do believe we're on track here to 69 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 4: maybe end this thing, only because Putin is rattled by Trump. 70 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 4: The way this war started is when them Biden withdrew 71 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 4: from Afghanistan. Putin seized the moment saw weakness. How does 72 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 4: this war end when Putin believes that Trump will crush 73 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 4: his economy, Putin's economy if he doesn't end this war. 74 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 2: Okay, but hasn't Donald Trump already you know, showed him 75 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 2: that he's going to take He said the consequences would 76 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 2: be severe. I think upping NATO's NATO country's contributions from 77 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 2: two percent to five percent, that is significant. I think 78 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 2: the EU trade deal to buy energy from US not 79 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 2: Russia and fund his war machine. I think that's that's critical. 80 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 2: The tariffs on India and selling sophisticated weaponry to Ukraine. 81 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 2: You know, that's been a pretty loud message from Donald J. 82 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 3: Trump. 83 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 4: A huge message and it worked. You know, Putin didn't 84 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 4: go to Alaska to kind of look at the scenery 85 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 4: and check on Alaska how well you're doing after we 86 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 4: saw do you? He went to Alaska because of two 87 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 4: really important things. Selling weapons to Ukraine. American made weapons 88 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 4: is a nightmare for the Russian military. Ukraine's out man 89 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,679 Speaker 4: ten to one, but between their innovative technology and drones 90 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 4: and the use of sophisticated American weapons, they have held 91 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 4: their own and pushed back and they're in the fight. 92 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 4: It's a nightmare for the Russian military for the Ukrainians 93 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 4: to have access to American weapons in perpetuity. By telling Europe, 94 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 4: I will sell you the weapons, I will not give 95 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 4: you the weapons that changed the game. That's good for 96 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 4: us because the money from Europe helps us rebuild our 97 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 4: military industrial complex, and it shows the Russians that Ukraine's 98 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 4: going to have American arms as far as the I 99 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 4: can see. When he put a fifty percent tariff on 100 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 4: Indian and I wanted to do that. The second largest 101 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 4: preserved Russian oil and gas in the world is India. 102 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 4: They buy oil in Russia below mark it, refine it, 103 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 4: and then Indian celidrator profit. The way you end this war, 104 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 4: I think is you deny Putin's customers the ability to 105 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 4: buy cheap Russian oil without being tariffed. If China, Indian, 106 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 4: Brazil have to pick between the American economy and buying 107 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 4: cheap Russian oil or gas, they're going to pick the 108 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 4: American economy. Ninety percent of the money coming in to 109 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 4: fund the foot war machine comes from oil and gas sells. 110 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 4: My bill goes after his customers. And when President Trump 111 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,679 Speaker 4: used that concept against India, Putin shows up in Alaska. 112 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 2: Where's China and all of this? Because China is probably 113 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 2: the biggest customer in terms of energy of Russia. 114 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 4: They're well, it's then, oh crap, Now where is China 115 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 4: and all this? China is the largest customer of Russia. 116 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 4: They buy oil from Russia well below market, good for 117 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 4: their economy. They help Russia in different ways. My belief 118 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 4: is China is waiting and watching. Now. There's one thing 119 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 4: you left out as to why the game has changed 120 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 4: under Trump. When he obliterated the Iranian nuclear program, everybody said, 121 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 4: oh crap. President Trump went all in to help Israel 122 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 4: destroyed the nuclear emphasis. He obliterated those three sites in 123 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 4: the conversion facility that got China's attention, That got Putin's attention. 124 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 4: Here's what I think, if we don't end this war 125 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 4: honorably and justly soon that President Trump's going to take 126 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 4: my bill. I've also had a bill about the nineteen 127 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 4: thousand Ukrainian kids kidnapped and sent to Russia, making Russia 128 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 4: state sponsor of terrorism under the US law. China's worst 129 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 4: nightmare is to do business with Russia if they have 130 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 4: to face American tariffs. How does this war end? When 131 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 4: she goes to Putin and say and says, and now, 132 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 4: I've helped you before, but I can't hope you anymore 133 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 4: because you're hurting my economy. 134 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, because I did have a 135 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 2: couple of callers in the last half hour bring up 136 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 2: this notion. They don't like the idea of rewarding the aggressor, 137 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 2: in this case Vladimir Putin for his behavior and meaning 138 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 2: that he ends up coming out of this deal with 139 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 2: more land. Now we use the term land swaps, and 140 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 2: we use the term security guarantees, including something similar to 141 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 2: NATO's Article five, which is countries will align with Ukraine 142 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 2: and say if you get attacked we'll consider it an 143 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 2: attack against us, and a lot of people don't like 144 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,079 Speaker 2: the idea that Putin gets rewarded for that behavior. 145 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 4: Your reaction to that, well, I understand exactly what you're saying. 146 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 4: I'm sympathetic to you, and the world in which we 147 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 4: live in is as follows, Russia has control of about 148 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 4: twenty percent of Ukraine. I don't think Ukraine has the 149 00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 4: military ability to evict every Russian anytime soon. Means the 150 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,839 Speaker 4: war would go on and on and on. Now, how 151 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 4: do you end conflicts in the Cold War? Well, after 152 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 4: World War Two, we divided up Europe. You had East 153 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 4: Germany and West Germany. We never recognized East Germany as 154 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 4: a separate, legitimate country, but we didn't attack either, so 155 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 4: over time East Germany and West Germany became one. So 156 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 4: I'm realistic we're going to have to recognize that their 157 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 4: Russian control of certain parts of Ukraine that are going 158 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 4: to be in Russian hands. To end this war, I 159 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 4: don't want to give title to the land, but to 160 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 4: end this war, I'm going to acknowledge that there's certain 161 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 4: parts of Ukraine that Russia controls. But I'm not going 162 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 4: to acknowledge as part of Russia. Just look at North Korea, 163 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 4: South Korea. That's just the reality. But the most important 164 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 4: thing President Trump could do for the world is make 165 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 4: sure there's no third invasion. I think if we get 166 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 4: security guarantees backing up Europe, that europe be on the 167 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 4: ground will have their back. We keep selling weapons to Ukraine, 168 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 4: there will be no third invasion. 169 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 2: You advise President Trump to tell Putin if the war 170 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 2: doesn't end justly, the US will destroy Russia's economy. And 171 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 2: this is just breaking, you know. Like nine minutes ago, 172 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 2: the Russian Foreign minister just outright rejected the idea that 173 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 2: NATO forces could serve as peacekeepers in Ukraine, which was 174 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 2: a provision sought by President Zelenski. 175 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, can you cuss on the radio? 176 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, depends what you're going to say. I mean 177 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,719 Speaker 2: you can, and you can. If it's that bad, I'll 178 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 2: bleep it out. But don't worry. We're live. How about 179 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 2: I'm on a seven second delay. 180 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 4: Okay, screw you. We're not going to let the Russians 181 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 4: tell us what to do to protect Ukraine. They have 182 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 4: no standing in my mind to have any idea about 183 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 4: killing me or anybody else. What they're going to do 184 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 4: to prevent We're going to do to prevent a third invasion. 185 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 4: There will be NATO European forces on the ground to 186 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 4: prevent a third invasion. There will be guarantees where if 187 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 4: they go in to fight, we'll have their back. If 188 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 4: they don't like that, keep fighting. And here's what I 189 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 4: would say to President Trump, you have the moral higher ground. 190 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 4: You're the right guy at the right time. Start putting 191 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 4: tariffs on China, but starting tariffs on every country that 192 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 4: does business with Russia, and you'll break them. Show the 193 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 4: determination you've shown in the past. You will break them. 194 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 4: They can't survive without aill and gas revenue. Make Russia 195 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 4: state sponsored terrorism for kidnapping nineteen thousand Ukrainian kids and 196 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 4: send them back to Russia. Go all in with destroying 197 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 4: Russia's economy. Ukraine's out manned, they're out gone, but they're 198 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 4: still in the fight. Russia is incredibly exposed. They have 199 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 4: one source of revenue all in gas self. 200 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 2: How long would this take to really impact the Russians? 201 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 4: Months, not years. It would impact China, it would impact India, 202 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 4: it would impact Brazil. What would happen if all the 203 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 4: major purchasers of Russian oil and gas all of a 204 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 4: sudden said, I can't buy it anymore. 205 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 2: All, especially now that he's opening up energy dominance in 206 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 2: this country. We'll have the ability to fill that gap 207 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 2: and fill that void and maybe even sell it a 208 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 2: discounter price and make it part of a larger trade 209 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 2: deal with a lot of these countries. 210 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 4: Well, you know, all those who are criticizing Trump about 211 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 4: what he's doing and the way he's doing it, Well, 212 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 4: he's the. 213 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:32,439 Speaker 3: Only one that ken pulled that. 214 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 2: I don't want to hear any more criticism from European 215 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 2: leaders that have been impotent in dealing with Russia and 216 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 2: frankly have helped fund his war machine by buying his energy. 217 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 3: Yeah. 218 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 4: Yeah, So let's look at it this way. If he 219 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 4: had been a Democrat, he'd have two Nobel Peace Prizes, 220 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 4: but now one for the Abraham McCords where he got 221 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 4: six air nations to recognize Israel. He'd get a Nobel 222 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 4: Peace Prize for Azerbaijan and Armenia have been at war 223 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 4: for thirty something years, or to Congo than a blood bath, 224 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 4: remember Hotel Rwanda. I mean, he ended those things and 225 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,559 Speaker 4: nobody gave him any credit for it. So he's gonna 226 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 4: end this war one way or the other. Russia is 227 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 4: either going to accept an honorable, just outcome. We're not 228 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 4: out to humiliate Russia. I'm not advocating for Ukraine to 229 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 4: be in NATO. I'm not pushing for that. I'm not 230 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 4: pushing for American troops on the ground. I'm pushing for 231 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 4: a guarantee, a backstop guarantee to European forces. I'm trying 232 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 4: to be practical here. They're gonna be parts of Ukraine 233 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 4: occupied by Russia until something changes down the road. I 234 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 4: want to end the war. But here's what I would say. 235 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 4: I would say that Europe needs to follow prosent Trump's lead. One, 236 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 4: don't they put tariffs on Indian oil. One don't they 237 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 4: go after China. So I'm gonna be hard on well. 238 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 2: Well up till now. They're the ones that have been 239 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 2: buying the oil. So I mean getting lectured by them 240 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 2: as a joke, and not one of them has the 241 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 2: moral standing or the strength to successfully you know, pull 242 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 2: this all and sit down with Putin and have Zelenski 243 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 2: and all these European leaders three days later at the 244 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 2: White House. 245 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 3: None of them right. 246 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 4: So I've challenged European nations to put a fifty percent 247 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 4: tariff on India, follow Prosident Trump's lead. If the European 248 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 4: economy and the American economy had a joint message to India, China, Brazil, 249 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 4: it definitely would work. But the EU trade deal was 250 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 4: magnificent for us because you put your finger on it. 251 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 4: Putin's nightmare has been Trump. Trump has given a pathway 252 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 4: for American energy to go to Europe to replace the 253 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 4: Russian oil and gas, a seven hundred and fifty billion 254 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 4: dollars trade deal where Europe will buy American oil and gas, 255 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 4: not Russian oil and gas. That's a tremendous flow. So 256 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 4: we're set up now to crush the fossil fuel economy 257 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 4: of Putin. Have American alternatives to Russian oil and gas, 258 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 4: and tell the c Instomers that prop up this war 259 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 4: machine in Russia, you're going to get hit. You're going 260 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 4: to have the denied access to the American economy without 261 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 4: major unless you pay major tariffs. 262 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 2: I think, well, yeah, Senator, Senator, we're just out of time. 263 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 3: I'm going to have to let you go. 264 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 2: Senator Lindsey Graham, South Carolina will hit the phones when 265 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 2: we get back and and we'll play part of my 266 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 2: interview with President Trump as well.

We're going to play part 272 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 2: of my interview with the President after he met with 273 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 2: Putin on Friday because it's so relevant to everything that 274 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 2: has happened. You know, here it is Monday, and you 275 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 2: have every European leader, inn Zolensky at the White House 276 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 2: all day and you know, but in the seconds after 277 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 2: the Putin AH failure and embarrassment AH disaster, and it 278 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 2: was anything but how do you know?

Senator Chris Murphy said, uh, and John Bolton 286 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 2: has become dumber by the day. You know, it's I 287 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 2: don't even know what to say. I think Trump some 288 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 2: that the best said. You know, I'm totally convinced that 289 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 2: if Russia raised their hands and said we give up, 290 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 2: we concede, we surrender, We'll give Ukraine and the Great 291 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 2: United States of America, Moscow, Saint Petersburg and everything surrounding 292 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 2: them for a thousand miles the fakes news media and 293 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 2: that their Democratic partners would say this was a bad, 294 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 2: humiliating day for Donald J. Trump, one of the worst 295 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:10,199 Speaker 2: days of our country. He's not wrong, and it's and 296 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 2: Marco Rubio just humiliated these people on the Sunday Show, 297 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 2: just humiliated them on CBS and ABC because they're dumb 298 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 2: as rocks. I was there today, would not have happened. 299 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 2: Everything we've been reporting up till now, had this meeting 300 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 2: with Vladimir Putin not gone well. Anyway, let me play 301 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 2: some of my interview. The President goes he was reluctant 302 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,360 Speaker 2: to give information because he doesn't want to negotiate publicly, 303 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 2: which is smart. But here's what he did say. 304 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 3: He said before the interview. He said in two minutes. 305 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 3: I will know. 306 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 5: I watched very closely when you met him on the 307 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,959 Speaker 5: red carpet after both your planes landed. What vibe did 308 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 5: you get in two minutes? 309 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: Well, you know, I always had a great relationship with 310 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: President Putin, and we would have done great things together 311 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: in terms of you know, their land is incredible, the 312 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: were earth, the oil, gas, everything, it's incredible.

I think they have eleven time zones, if 315 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: you can believe it. 316 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 3: That's big. 317 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: So but we would have done a lot of great things, 318 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 1: but we had the Russia Russia Russia hoax which stopped 319 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: us from doing that we would have had we would 320 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: have done so great. But we had the greatest one 321 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 1: of the great hoaxes. I mean there were others, like 322 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: the election itself, as you know, as you covered better 323 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: than anyone, but it was a rigged election and a 324 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 1: horrible thing that took place in twenty twenty. But we 325 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,360 Speaker 1: would have had a great relationship. But we did amazingly 326 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: well considering you know, he would look and see what happened, 327 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: he would think we're crazy, you know, with the made 328 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: up Russia Russia Russia hoax.

I mean, it's you know, you have 331 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 3: to get a deal. 332 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: We did a lot of points. I want to see 333 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 1: people stop dying in Ukraine. What's happening well, losing five 334 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: six seven thousand. They're Russians, mostly Russians and their Ukrainian soldiers. 335 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 3: There's some people dying in cities. 336 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: And towns where they're trying to blow up missile manufacturers 337 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 1: and other things in some cities. I don't know if 338 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 1: you know what's going on there, but there are a 339 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: lot of people dying. 340 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 3: And if we can end that war would be very good. 341 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,199 Speaker 1: And I was very happy to hear him say if 342 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: I was president, that war would have never happened. 343 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 3: Just the president. That was my next question. 344 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 5: He said at the joint press conference that you have 345 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 5: said this many, many times, and he confirmed for the 346 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,640 Speaker 5: world today that if you. 347 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 3: Were president, this wouldn't have happened. 348 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 5: Did any of the specifics come up as to why 349 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 5: he said that it did. 350 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter at this point, but that this war 351 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 1: should never have happened. You know, a lot of war 352 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 1: should never have happened. There was stupid things go down, 353 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: and the wrong people are talking. But Biden was a 354 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: terrible president in so many ways. He should have never 355 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: let it happen, and it did. There are millions of 356 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: people killed. I mean, it's the worst thing since I 357 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: see everyone's saying since World War Two. By far, there's 358 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 1: nothing even close. But we had a very good meeting 359 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: today and I think a lot of points were negotiated 360 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: on behalf of Ukraine and on behalf of the whole 361 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 1: NATO situation where we're dealing very well with a lot 362 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: of foreign countries that are great European countries. So look, 363 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned, there's no deal until there's 364 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: a deal. 365 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 3: But we did make a lot of progress. The meeting 366 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 3: took place in this room. Yeah, this is where you met, 367 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 3: right in this room. 368 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: Well, did you have let me examine it. 369 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 3: That's where you were, said, I would say, that's it. Yep. 370 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 3: So did you have a long time with him? Yeah? 371 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: I did, and I did actually after our speeches, he 372 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: made a very good speech and I also finished it up, 373 00:20:55,200 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: and afterwards we spoke. Right after that, we spoke very sincerely. 374 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 1: I think he wants to see it done. 375 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. 376 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 5: In your press conference, you talked about a lot of 377 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,959 Speaker 5: things that you agreed on and maybe one big issue 378 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 5: you don't agree on. 379 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 3: Are you prepared to go public with that? No, I'd 380 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 3: rather not. 381 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 1: I guess somebody's going to go public with it. They'll 382 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: figure it out, but no, I don't want to do that. 383 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: I want to see if we can get it done. 384 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: You know, it's still it's not a done deal at all, 385 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: and Ukraine has to agree. I mean, you know President 386 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: Zelensky has to agree. But it's a terrible war where 387 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: he's losing a lot and both of them are, and 388 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: hopefully it can get completed. That would be great achievement 389 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: for them, forget about me, for them, and you'll save 390 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:43,919 Speaker 1: seven thousand lives a week. 391 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 3: It's a lot. 392 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 5: I spoke very briefly to Secretary of State Rubio and 393 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 5: he did say to me, he goes, there's a difference 394 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 5: when you in the same room together, the versus you know, 395 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 5: talking to each other. 396 00:21:55,560 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 3: Through the press. Do you even through the phone? Through 397 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 3: the phone not. 398 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 1: The same thing when you're on a telephone, it's not 399 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: the same thing either. This was I mean, we were 400 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 1: together almost three hours and it was very extensive and 401 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: we agreed it a lot of points. I mean a 402 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 1: lot of points were agreed on, but there's not that much. 403 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: There's you know, one or two pretty significant items, but 404 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: I think they can be reached. Now it's really up 405 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: to Presidents Olynsky to get it done. And I would 406 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: also say the European nations they have to get involved 407 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: a little bit. But it's up to Presidents Olynsky. I 408 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 1: think we are and if they'd like, I'll be at 409 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: that next meeting. They're going to set up a meeting 410 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: now between Presidents Olynsky and President Putin and myself. I 411 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: guess you know, I didn't even I didn't ask you 412 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: about it, not that I want to be there, but 413 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 1: I want to make sure it gets done. 414 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 3: And we have a pretty good chance of getting it 415 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 3: done if you had to grade it on a scale 416 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 3: of one to ten. 417 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 1: So I think the meeting was a ten in the 418 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: sense that we got along great and it's good when 419 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: you know two big powers get along, especially when they're 420 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,360 Speaker 1: nuclear powers. You know, we're number one, they're number two 421 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: in the world, and it's a big deal. That's a 422 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: big deal. You never want to even mention that word 423 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: the word nuclear. But we have a tremendous nuclear you. 424 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: I rebuilt it when I was president first term, and 425 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 1: I hated to rebuild it. It was the one thing 426 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: I hated to rebuild, but we had to. 427 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 3: And we have the greatest nuclear for us. 428 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: We have the greatest military in the world actually, and 429 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: they have a big nuclear presidence. 430 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 3: Also. Oh, you've got to respect it. You got to 431 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,919 Speaker 3: have to respect it. You never want to use it. 432 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: If you use that, it could be the end of 433 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 1: the world. That's how that's the kind of power we're 434 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: talking about. 435 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 5: Let's talk about what brought President Putin to the table. 436 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 5: I would argue that there are four things in my mind. 437 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 5: If you think there are more, or you don't think 438 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 5: they were a factor. You did the trade deal with 439 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 5: the European Union, and in that deal you got nearly 440 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 5: a trillion dollars in commitments to purchase some American oil. 441 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 5: That's money that would otherwise be funding Putin's war machine. 442 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 3: That's number one. 443 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 5: India fifty percent tariffs if they import Russian oil. He's 444 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,959 Speaker 5: also Vladimir Putin wasn't moving at a speed you were 445 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 5: comfortable with, so you said you would, unlike Biden you 446 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 5: wouldn't give weapons to Ukraine, you would sell weapons to Ukraine. 447 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 5: The last thing, and I think, I don't think it 448 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 5: could be underestimated, is NATO is now paying twice what 449 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 5: they were paying and those countries that weren't paying their 450 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 5: fair share? Are were those the four factors that brought 451 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 5: him into this room today. 452 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: Well, NATO is now paying five percent as supposed to 453 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: two percent, and they're paying it. And you know, look 454 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 1: it's headed by as you know Mark, You know Mark 455 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: very well. It's a great guy and great people, the 456 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: leaders that got to know him very well about six 457 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: weeks ago. And great relationship with NATO, European nations basically, 458 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 1: but a great relationship. 459 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 3: I don't want to say anything brought him today. 460 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: He's a very smart guy and nothing brought him to 461 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: the table, so to speak. 462 00:24:58,240 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 3: I think that he. 463 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 1: Respects our country now. He didn't respect it under Biden. 464 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: I can tell you that he had no respect for it. 465 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: I was so happy when he said this would have 466 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: never happened. 467 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 3: This All those lives would be saved if. 468 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 1: They had a competent if we had a competent president, 469 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,479 Speaker 1: those lives would have been saved. It's so said you know, 470 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: I've negotiated five wars to their end, and the wars 471 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 1: that were. 472 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 5: Tough India, pack seven in the Pakistan, Israel, Iran in 473 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 5: twelve days, Rwanda, the Congo, Serbia, Kosovo, Cambodia, Thailand, Azerbaijan, Armania, Egypt, Cambodia. 474 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 3: You played, you played a role in all of those. 475 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 3: Did you know. 476 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: I didn't want to include the decimation of the nuclear 477 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: arsenal and because I don't consider it necessarily, you know, conclusive, 478 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 1: But we did something amazing because for twenty two years 479 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: no president was willing to do it. We decimated the 480 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: nuclear capability, potential nuclear capability, which I think would have 481 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,439 Speaker 1: taken place with than a month of Iran. And that 482 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: was a big thing. I have to go back. This 483 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,919 Speaker 1: is too historic and deep and profound. 484 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 5: At a press conference, the President of Russia stated something 485 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 5: that you had stated many, many times, and maybe people 486 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 5: your political opponents might have dismissed, but he said, this 487 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 5: war would not have taken place if you were president. Now, 488 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:28,199 Speaker 5: he did give you, behind the scenes, specific reasons why 489 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 5: it happened under Biden. 490 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,679 Speaker 1: He did give you reasons, Yeah, he did, but I 491 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: know the reason. It's gross incompetence. I mean, we have 492 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: a border that's totally closed now and people come in, 493 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: but they come in legally. 494 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 3: But we had zero, as you know, the first time 495 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 3: you heard it was three months ago. 496 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,239 Speaker 1: But we've done it now three times in a row, 497 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 1: zero people coming in illegally. 498 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 3: We have many things that are going well now. Our 499 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 3: economy is great. We don't have inflation. 500 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: The price of energy is down, the price of groceries 501 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: are down, the price of everything is down. People are 502 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 1: happy with saving social security. You saw that the other day. 503 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 1: Where we have a genius in Judge. I took him 504 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 1: out of JP Morgan Chase. He was the head of 505 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: I mean, one of the top people in there, and 506 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: he did great. 507 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 3: He went to one of. 508 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: The big funds, you know, one of the tough people 509 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: that you know, they take a cut. I think he said, 510 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: he's working for one percent of what he was working for. 511 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 3: These are unbelievable people. 512 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: And the job he's done in social security and making 513 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 1: it really powerful and strong is amazing. And we've done 514 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,400 Speaker 1: that with many things. I love doing it. I love 515 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 1: seeing this country be great again. And Vladimir said, just 516 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 1: a little while ago, he said, I've never seen anybody 517 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 1: do so much so fast. He said, your country is 518 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 1: like hot a is a pistol, and a year ago 519 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: he thought it was dead. 520 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 3: Everybody thought it was dead. 521 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 5: Most people, as they analyze us from the outside, this 522 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 5: is how they almost everybody's kind of universal thinking. 523 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 3: How this ends. There's going to be some. 524 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 5: Landswaps, there will be more Russian territory than there had been. 525 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 5: And what Ukraine wants and needs desperately is our security 526 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 5: measures that won't. 527 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:07,120 Speaker 3: Be NATO related. 528 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 5: If you had to look into your crystal ball, is 529 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 5: that how it ends? 530 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: Well, I think those are points that we negotiated, and 531 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: those are points that we largely have agreed on. 532 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 3: Actually, I think we've agreed on a lot. 533 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: And I can tell you the meeting was a very 534 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: warm meeting. You know, he's a strong guy, he's tough 535 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: as hell than all of that. But the meeting was 536 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: a very warm meeting between two very important countries, and 537 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 1: it's very good when they get along. I think we're 538 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 1: pretty close to it. And now look, Ukraine has no 539 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: agree to it. Maybe they'll say no. Because Biden handed 540 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: out money like it was candy, and Europe gave him 541 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: a lot of money. You know, we gave three hundred 542 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: and fifty billion dollars. Europe gave him much less, but 543 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: still a lot. One hundred billion dollars. 544 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 5: Or what your advice based on today when you talk 545 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 5: to Vladimir Solinski, what's your advice is to make a deal. 546 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 3: Make the deal.
