That 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:55.880 is all things bill O'Reilly, all things O'Reilly bill O'Reilly 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.960 dot com mist O'Reilly, sir. I'm headed to Alaska. I've 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.400 into forty nine out of the fifty states. The state 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:07.040 that I've been most obsessed with is the state of Alaska. 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.280 And after the trip that I will be, we'll be 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:13.640 broadcasting from Alaska tomorrow and on Friday, and we'll have 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:17.680 the first interview with President Trump post the Plutin Summit. 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:23.200 But I'm obsessed with shows like Light Below Zero, Deadliest Catch. 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.839 Do you like those shows? I love those shows. 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.959 I don't have a lot of time to watch those shows, Hanny, 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:30.200 I'm too busy thinking. 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:32.840 But you're too busy. 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:37.680 Okay, you really have never seen the show Deadliest Catch. 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:38.560 It's amazing. 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.480 I've been to Alaska three times. Watch out for bears, 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:48.120 that's number one. They just pop up and here's no 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:54.120 When you get there, fall will be underway, so you'll 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:58.280 get some foliage. And if you have time, I know 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:00.720 you're going to be very busy, but it's worth a 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:04.040 quick trip out to Denale to Mount McKinley just to 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:08.240 take a look. But anyway, Alaska is a head eating statement. 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:08.440 Bill. 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:12.160 I'm broadcasting, I'm doing radio and TV, and you think 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.640 I'm gonna have time to go on a sightseeing tour. 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.360 But let's move on to the bigger issue here. I 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.880 want to get to in a second how you will 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:26.640 define success, because I don't think there is any issue 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.360 of success or failure for President Trump, and I'll explain 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.960 that too in a second. But I love the fact that, 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:37.200 unlike most politicians where they wring their hands and they 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.840 have their political advisors and they're calculating the upside and 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:46.240 the downside before they dare do anything big, President Trump 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:49.360 just dives right in and he's not thinking about the 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:51.680 consequences of the outcome. You and I both know him. 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.640 We know this man really well. And if this summit 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.120 isn't going well, he said he'd know in two minutes 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:00.000 if he thinks he can get a deal, and also 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:04.760 warned that Russia will face very severe consequences if Putin 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:10.080 continues the Ukrainian War after this summit. But here's a guy, 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:16.640 and he's only been back in the second term India, Pakistan, Israel, Iran, Rwanda, 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:24.520 to Congo, Serbia, Kosovo, Thailand, Cambodia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Egyptopia, Ethiopia, 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:28.320 and he put himself in the middle of all of 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:31.680 those piece deals. And you got to give the guy 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.160 credit for trying and putting himself out there. 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:35.719 Most politicians won't do that. 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:41.160 Okay, a number of things I think there you well. 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.760 You agree with that, right, I mean what other politicians 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:45.840 won't wring their hands, ask their advisors. 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.880 He just dives in. He doesn't care what I. 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.960 Wrote today in the messages today, I'm Billowiley dot com. 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:57.560 Is he's artist, working president in modern times, and there's 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:00.839 no doubt about that. But I know the things about 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:06.080 this Alaska chat. So number one, you can't threaten Putin, 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:10.359 and Trump knows that you can't go in and look glad, 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.880 if you don't stop murdering women and children, we're going 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.000 to break your economy. He can't put it that way, 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.600 all right. What you have to do is number one, 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.760 say do you think we can reach some common ground here? 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:28.560 And let Putin then spell out Before Trump spells out, 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:33.560 Putin goes first what he believes is possible. Okay, this 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.520 is what I will do, or I could do. And remember, 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:40.680 Putin lives in a bubble. He's not in a country 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.599 or a sear that has any freedom at all. He 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.000 has no descent, he has no press that's going to 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.440 backbite him, has none of that. He just lives isolated 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:51.960 and he does what he wants. But at this point 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:56.200 he knows that he is embarrassed President Trump. Putin has 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:59.640 embarrassed Trump because Trump gave him so much benefit of 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:04.000 the death when he came into office in January. Now 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:10.080 that is the key to Putin's reality check. You put 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:12.919 the most important thing for Donald Trump in his life 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:17.000 is his presidential legacy, and that means he wants to 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:21.279 accomplish things to help the country. If he goes to 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:25.480 a meeting and Putin embarrasses him, boyle boy, is going 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.560 to be bad for Putin. I'll tell you what. It's 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:30.960 going to really be bad. And I know that for 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.799 a fact, but you can't say that to the man. 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:38.240 These are very delicate negotiations, and I expect that Putin 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:41.200 and Trump will go into a room alone. I think 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:45.200 you know this. But when Trump is with Putin, Putin 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:49.159 speaks English. He Putin doesn't speak English in public, but 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:52.000 he does speak English to Trump, and I think there 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:55.320 will be that room encounter and He's going to go 0:06:55.400 --> 0:07:00.120 to look, we got to stop this, and you who 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.400 have to cooperate in this, We're not going to try 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:07.479 to embarrass you. That's important for Putin, but you're not 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:10.760 going to embarrass us, and so it's up to you. 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.520 You're the only guy who can stop it. And that's true. 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:17.000 Putin is the only man who can stop this slaughter. 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:20.920 So I don't think there's any risk for Trump going 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:23.600 into this. And let me tell you why. Going into 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:28.840 the summit, the President has done three very critical things 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:31.560 that have that I think brought Putin to the table. 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.320 Finally he tried the nice route. And it's not his 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.600 fault that Putin has no problem, no conscience, and no soul, 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.840 and he's vulna killing his men, women and children. This 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:43.840 is Joe Biden's war. President Trump's trying to clean up 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:47.400 his mess. So let's let's let's lay that foundation. Well, 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.280 what the President very cleverly has done he put a 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:54.160 fifty percent tariff on India if they import any Russian 0:07:54.200 --> 0:08:00.559 oil now, for the whole economy of Russia is based 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.280 on energy. He also made a trade deal with the 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:07.000 European Union, and the way that Putin has been able 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:11.520 to fund his war machine is again selling energy to 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:15.400 Western Europe. And as part of that deal, Western Europe 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.040 now is going to spend about a trillion dollars buying 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:22.680 our energy, not Putin's energy. That got his attention. Also, 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:26.640 President Trump said, Okay, you're not stopping. You won't stop. 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:31.080 Now he's giving Ukraine an opportunity to buy our weapons. 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:34.400 Unlike Joe Biden, he's not giving Ukraine our weapons. He 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:37.600 doesn't believe in in No for He believes in no 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:42.559 Forever wars. Those three things, to me got Putin's attention 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:47.400 because now the funding of his war machine is in jeopardy. 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:52.199 And I think in terms of the question is going 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:57.040 to be whether or not Putin his territorial demands are 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.960 so excessive that there's no opportunity to be a deal, 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:05.240 or if he's unwilling to give Ukraine the ability to 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:09.280 defend itself in the future from a possible third invasion 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:10.120 by Vladimir. 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:11.480 That's my take. 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.520 Well, I disagree with you that there isn't a downside 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:20.360 for Trump. There is if he comes back and Putin 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:24.240 because you can't control what Putin's going to say, and 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.960 goes back to Moscow and starts to diminish Trump, which 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.240 I don't think is going to happen, but it's possible, 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:33.520 and starts to strut around, going, hey, he's not going 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.839 to tell me what to do. That'll hurt Trump. So 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:40.880 Trump's got to have Plan B in his pocket very specifically. Now, 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:45.880 you left out a very important equation here, and that's China. China, 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:49.360 I believe is talking back channels to President Trump. I 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:52.640 know that to be true. And that's why there is 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:56.160 an extension. The tariff that was supposed to kick in 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.120 today did not kick in. All right. He gave China 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:01.920 ninety more days and there'll be a deal with China 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:06.719 before that time. But China can wreck Vladimir Putin can 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:11.960 destroy him, and I think, but I can't say for 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:18.440 sure that Trump has already negotiated a Putin factor with Beijing. 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.600 He's going to drop that at some point. Private lead 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:26.200 of Ladd, because China's future is that. 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:28.960 How you're afraid of Vladimir your buddy blads that you 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:31.520 call him lad? Are you on a first name bases 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:32.040 with him? 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.600 Well, he should fear me you. I hope you read 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:39.120 the chapter in Confronting Evil that comes out September ninth, 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.440 because the whole world is going to know what this 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:42.360 guy's all about. 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:47.120 He's he's he's been KGB evil his entire life. 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.000 Yeah, but people don't know the extent of it. And 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.840 they don't know why, and they don't know how. He 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:57.959 thinks I do, and but I know that Ladd is 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:02.559 a chess player, and he's got to know that Beijing 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:08.200 and Trump are talking, and they're talking about Kim. That 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:11.160 is the most important thing, and that will not be 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:13.920 made public. You can ask Trump about it, but I 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:15.760 don't think he's going to give you very much on it. 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.640 There's a lot of things that go on behind the 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:21.400 scenes that nobody ever knows about. In a situation like 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.520 this Bill, there's no doubt about it. And you say 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:29.240 there's a huge downside, the only huge downside will be 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:34.120 the chatter of the you know, punditry class and the 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:37.920 legacy media mob that want him to fail. You know, 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.360 I just mentioned a lot of success that he's had 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:42.280 just in this second term alone. He played a big 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:45.160 role in India and Pakistan reaching a piece. He played 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:47.920 a big role in Israel and Iran stop in their 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.200 conflict in twelve days. He played a big role in 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:55.920 Rwanda and the Congo, Serbia, Kosovo, Thailand, Cambodia, Armenia, Azerbaijan. Now, 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.960 if you want to talk about the ability to embarrass people, 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.440 Donald Trump can stand up in two minutes after that 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:07.760 summit starts and say, you know, basically, fu lad your buddy, 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:10.959 and walk out of that room and say you can't 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:12.000 do a deal with him. 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:13.200 He wants to be Hitler. 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.319 And if he wants to be Hitler, we're going to 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:18.080 arm the Ukrainians and we're going to arm Western Europe. 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:22.120 And if it's game on, I don't care what he 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:25.720 does anymore. So he has power. Also, they both have 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:29.000 power going into this. It's in everyone's best interest. I 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:32.320 don't think either one are going to you know, saber 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:35.680 rattle to that level they both have. They're both nuclear powers. 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:39.640 They don't want to go there. That gives Vladimir strength. 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:43.040 The dumbest thing Ukraine ever did was under Bill Clinton 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:46.680 give up their nuclear weapons. In my view, none of 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:50.360 this would have happened. So regardless, I don't see the 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:55.920 downside the way you do, except for the chatter among 0:12:56.080 --> 0:13:01.760 the punditry class and the legacy media. However, whatever happens 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:08.760 on Friday, it either goes great or it's eh, not 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:13.199 so great, or it's going to be laying the foundation 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:16.360 for the future. Because eventually I think we get there. 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:20.160 Okay, I mean, I'm not going to dispute eventually, because 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:23.800 that's likely to happen. But the downside for Trump is 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:27.160 that he's going to have to articulate for Europe and 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:32.760 for Ukraine and for China exactly what happened in this meeting. Yeah. 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:36.040 Sure, So how would you define success? Because the President 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:40.440 even said, and he had a meeting today with Western 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:44.400 europe leaders, NATO leaders, and Ukraine. How would you Because 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:45.960 I know how this deal is going to go down. 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:49.960 Ukraine is going to have to seed land, especially like 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:54.000 the Dumbas region it was seventy eighty percent Russian national anyway, 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:59.800 land will be swapped, and what Ukraine needs and wants 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:02.720 the most is going to be security guarantees. The best 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:05.160 way to achieve that is for the US to continue 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:07.400 to sell them weapons and the Western Europeans to do 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:12.520 as well, and to also reinforce their armies inside of 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:14.200 Ukraine to prevent a future attack. 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:16.960 That's how I would define a deal. 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:22.160 Okay, So the definition of success is is a ceasefire 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:25.320 for thirty days and then at the end of that 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:30.560 period of time, there's another meeting, and Ukraine is in 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:34.080 that meeting along with representatives from the EU and lad 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.040 Bad evil blad he's back. 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:38.920 But no, I don't think the two can be in 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:40.400 a room together. I don't. 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.680 All right, well, you whatever, they can work out. One's 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:46.120 in one room, the other's any other room. That's fine 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:51.360 with me. But cease fire for thirty days gives President 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:55.720 Trump a big win, saves thousands of lives as well. Okay, 0:14:56.000 --> 0:15:02.400 I think that's doable. You have to understand that. And 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:04.440 this is really now I'm going to go off the 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:07.000 topic a little bit. But did you see me take 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.480 apart John Bolton the other night? Did you see that? 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:12.400 I did not see it, but I'm glad you did 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:14.000 because John Bolton's an idiot. 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:17.800 Okay, you need to watch that. Okay, I took him 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:21.200 apart and then I said, you've got to beef with me. 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:23.160 You come right on and you face me. Of course 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:23.520 he can't. 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:25.640 Did he attacked you? 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:29.240 No, he attracked Trump. He's under he's undermined. 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:34.040 He's got Trump to derangement syndrome. He's lost it. He's not. 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:39.960 But there is an important story here. It's not just him. 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:45.960 It's corporations like Comcast that are undermining the security of 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:49.760 the United States. It's not opinion anymore. It's not left 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:53.760 wing right wing anymore. Comcast, one of the most powerful 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:58.840 companies in this country, is undermining American and world security. 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.840 Doesn't do and it's clear that they're doing it because 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:03.600 a try. 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.360 How are they doing it? But only have fifteen seconds. 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:07.040 We'll make it quick. 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:14.200 MSNBC is a now pro propaganda. Anything Trump does is bad. 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:16.760 Everything and anything is bad. 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:20.280 Oh you're just figuring this out. We've known this forever. 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.560 No, but it's at the highest level now you're talking. 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:27.800 Oh yeah, yeah, they've absolutely lost it. Listen. 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.440 I I do pray for peace for the sake of 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:33.320 the world. I don't want to see more children, pictures 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:37.280 of dead children. I've seen them. I hope we get there. 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:40.720 All things simple, man, Bill O'Reilly or Billoreilly dot com. 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:42.520 Thank you, my friend. Eight hundred and nine four one, 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:43.880 Shawn is a number. You want to be a part 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.600 of the program. All right, let's get to our busy phones. 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:50.120 Taz Coco Radio, San Diego. Next, Sean Hannity Show. 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:53.200 Hi, yeah, Hi, John Douglass. You through what you do 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:56.800 for the country. Yeahs The W Show. 0:16:57.640 --> 0:16:59.960 Oh, thank you. I'm honored to do it. I'm glad, 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:03.080 glad you called love our friends in San Diego. Also 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:05.679 just sorry you have to pay all the taxes you're 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:07.640 paying indeed. 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:12.080 Indeed, so I just wanted to touch on, you know, 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:17.040 the Putin summon on Friday. I'm just hoping that somebody 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:21.600 is aware that, you know, and they're making that differentiation 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:25.600 between Putin the president and Putin the judoka. I mean, 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.800 he's the third highest ranked judo exponent in the world 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:33.480 and as a result, the ideology may they think, you know, 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:35.960 the psyche is totally different. And I'm just hoping that 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:42.520 somebody on outside that's looking at that, because yeah, it's 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:45.280 going to be a bad outcome unless they fully understand 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:49.600 how a judoka manipulates their opponent's massive momentum against like 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:50.440 they do not. 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:56.480 I think there's no doubt Donald Trump knows exactly who 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:59.280 he's dealing with. Hey, he will get a full if 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:01.680 he has I'm sure he's already had it. He has 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:06.720 a full rundown of an assessment of who Vladimir Putin is. 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:08.720 You know, Look, I'll. 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:11.080 Say what he won't say because he's trying to achieve 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:14.639 something here. And if he were to follow in the 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:16.879 Biden path and call him every name in the book. 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:18.840 Then he's not going to get the guy to sit 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:21.879 down and at least discuss the possibility of a ceasefire. 0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:26.120 Eventual peace is not going to be any perfect solution. 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:29.040 I blame Biden for all of it. I blame Obama 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:32.600 for all of it. But with that said, it doesn't 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:36.560 mean that he shouldn't try. But what is it in particular? 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:36.840 Now? 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:40.119 I do an eclectic blend of mixed martial arts. I 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:44.240 am not, by any stretch of the imagination, a mixed 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:47.959 martial artist. I don't consider myself one. I have skill. 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:49.960 I have a lot of skill. I've been training for 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:53.800 fifteen years. But it's a blend of krav maga, kempo, 0:18:54.000 --> 0:19:00.960 Japanese jiu jitsu, situational street fighting, boxing, sticks, play firearms, 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:03.560 et cetera. And I do a lot of core building, 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:06.520 and I do lift. I don't lift heavy heavy weights. 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:08.480 I did for a while, I don't do that anymore. 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:10.560 But a lot of push up set ups, a lot 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:11.919 of you know, I'll try to stay in shape the 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:12.480 best I can. 0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:15.399 John, you know, those days along going for me. But 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:18.480 I do keep my heat a ground in the judoka 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:21.240 community and at a very high level and let's just 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:24.080 put it this way. It was absolutely no surprise. It 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:30.320 was actually predicted, you know, days before the Trump and 0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:32.920 Putin meeting, and this is on both of them that 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:36.880 there would be almost immediate escalation and they absolutely know it. 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:40.040 Now this is the third one. What's interesting and what's 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:43.600 kind of I'm puzzled at is why couldn't agree to 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:47.240 meet on you know, American sort But. 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:51.960 I know the backstory. I don't think I think it 0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:54.160 was given to me off the record. There were other 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:57.320 sites that were mentioned, and then Alaska came up out 0:19:57.320 --> 0:19:57.760 of the blue. 0:19:57.840 --> 0:19:58.640 He agreed to it. 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:01.640 Here we go, we're off to Anchorage, and it's better 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:03.800 than a couple of the other locations that we're mentioned, 0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:06.880 I'll put it that way. But what is it about 0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:11.600 judo and the level of skill that he has that 0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:13.840 you think Trump needs to be dialed into? 0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:14.720 Explain it? 0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:18.040 Well, it's the again, it's the whole ideology of mass 0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:20.879 in moment. So it's such a calculated I think people 0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:23.000 are rightly touched on this when he mentioned the game 0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:25.000 of chess, because the game of chest and you know, 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:29.399 high level judo is there's a lot of similarities. But 0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:34.119 I believe that everything is already in play. You know, 0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:38.760 Putin fully out understands the outcome. Now why he's making 0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:43.080 those escalation, you know, decisions you know globally is beyond me. 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:45.680 But you know, in the I can tell you why 0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:48.160 he's saber rattling in the lead up to it, saying 0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:50.240 I can keep this going as long as I want. 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:53.040 There's a reason that Trump this week put a fifty 0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:56.680 percent tariff on India if they import Russian oil. There's 0:20:56.720 --> 0:20:59.240 a reason that Trump made as part of the European 0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:03.720 trade deal a billion, you know, a trillion dollars in 0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:05.639 energy that they're going to be buying for US. 0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:06.520 Uh. 0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:09.080 There's a reason that President Trump has said We're going 0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:12.679 to sell all the weapons that Ukraine wants. All of 0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:14.800 this is posturing on both sides leading. 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:15.000 Up to this. 0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:19.280 Yes, and that's obviously where where my concern is, because 0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:23.880 you know, we saw two escalations. You know, conventionally they 0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:26.199 I don't think Putin's got much more than that in 0:21:26.240 --> 0:21:31.159 the conventional realm. But you know, the Judoku community and 0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:33.280 they were right on the last two times, they're very 0:21:33.280 --> 0:21:36.680 fearful that this might be you know, the third escalation 0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:40.800 to the to the unthinkable. So yeah, I'm just hoping 0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:44.760 that you know, whoever's there on Friday fully understand the 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:48.320 mind of the judoka how they think. You know, very 0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:51.280 few people win against them, so, you know, But then 0:21:51.680 --> 0:21:54.440 never undressed to make Trump he's you know, he's certainly 0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:56.439 a unique man. It's done everything. 0:21:56.440 --> 0:21:59.199 But when you really think about it, Trump has the 0:21:59.320 --> 0:22:03.480 least to lose in this whole summit. Europe has a 0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:07.280 lot to lose. Ukraine has a lot to lose. Trump, 0:22:07.640 --> 0:22:09.679 you know, as far as he's concerned, the only thing 0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:13.920 he's risking here is political capital. And but he's doing 0:22:13.960 --> 0:22:17.520 it because it's it defines who he is. But he 0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:19.879 really does it the only the only thing that's gonna happen. 0:22:20.440 --> 0:22:24.520 Worst case scenario, all right, let's let's say Putin tries 0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:27.200 to embarrass him on the world stage. Trump will come 0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:31.360 back twice as hard ten times is hard and embarrass him, 0:22:31.720 --> 0:22:35.040 and Trump wills load up Ukraine with more weapons than 0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:37.080 they've ever had in their life, and they're gonna pay 0:22:37.080 --> 0:22:39.960 for them. He doesn't want that. I don't want that. 0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:44.119 If Putin has any sense, I mean, he's their economy 0:22:44.200 --> 0:22:49.560 is in shambles and they they've they've They've won a 0:22:49.560 --> 0:22:52.680 certain amount of territory, most of which what they really 0:22:52.720 --> 0:22:56.080 said they wanted in the beginning. He probably will end 0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:59.159 up with a territorial swap on a lot of that, 0:22:59.840 --> 0:23:02.920 and hopefully the Ukrainians will get what they need, which 0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:07.600 is assurances and an ability to defend themselves to prevent 0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:11.320 a third invasion. I mean so, but Europe has the 0:23:11.320 --> 0:23:14.000 most to lose here. Ukraine is the most to lose here. 0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:18.160 You know, why isn't Macron, Why isn't Why aren't any 0:23:18.160 --> 0:23:20.919 of these Western European countries, Why aren't they risking their 0:23:20.960 --> 0:23:25.600 political capital? Europe hasn't stepped up to help Ukraine anywhere 0:23:25.680 --> 0:23:28.840 near the level that they should. And it's Trump that 0:23:28.960 --> 0:23:32.240
