There's never even close 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:05.640 to been this level of world leaders meet at the 0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:08.959 Oval Office before. Now. Part of it is going back 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.520 to World War II or whatever. Travel wasn't the same. 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:14.160 But even like for the Gulf War or anything like that, 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:16.600 they've never had a collection like you're gonna have at 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:18.959 the White House today with the leaders of France and 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:22.800 Germany and England and Italy and NATO's secretary generals and 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.800 all that in Zelensky and Trump and Jade Vance is 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:28.600 gonna be there. You don't have the cards. Oh no, 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:33.160 it is an absolutely amazing show of diplomatic unity and 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:37.720 by necessity from the point of view is Lensky in 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:41.319 the Euros. I believe they just can't believe how putin 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:44.080 friendly Trump emerged from the summit and are desperate to 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:44.800 get his ear. 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:51.120 Well, I'll tell you what, I'm not as disgusted as 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:51.960 I was Friday. 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:57.000 On Friday, I was disgusted, but I've been talked down 0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:01.840 sometimes by like hosts on CNN then an MSNBC who 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:04.200 had a much more charitable view of the way things 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:06.360 turned out in many cases than I did. 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:09.600 Interesting, but Trump truthed out. 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.680 Just a couple of hours ago. In case you were asleep, 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:17.399 President Zelenski, Ukraine can end the war with Russia immediately 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:20.200 if he wants to, or he can continue to fight. 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:25.440 Remember how it started. No getting back Obama given CRIMEA 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.840 twelve years ago, and no going into NATO by Ukraine. 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:33.160 Some things never changed. But so it sounds like we're 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:36.840 going into this meeting day with at least Trump planning 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:38.520 to present it as a Look, you want to end it, 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:42.400 you can end it today. Surrender, just give in to 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:44.440 pretty much everything Putin wants. 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:47.960 Yeah, give into the invader. Great, that's what fine advice. 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:51.480 But Marco Rubio was on every talk show yesterday. I 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:55.280 can't imagine a more exhausting day than he had, because 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:59.639 of course he was hit from a confrontational point of 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.800 view every host he was on of every show, but 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:07.600 he was just captain real politic on every answer. 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:07.840 It was. 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:12.320 Look, I'm not saying it's palatable. I'm not saying it's moral. 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:15.320 I'm not saying it's right. I'm just saying it is 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:18.720 what it is. But Putin's not giving back the land. 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:23.720 Nobody's willing to push him out. Here's where we are. 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:25.399 That was his thing all day yesterday. 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:28.040 Yeah, I'm anxious to hear more of his interviews that 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.840 caught just a little bit over the weekend. But that's 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.680 just I'd say, that's what you've been saying for a 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:39.120 long time. When people talk about it's unfair, when people 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.280 talk about it's unfair that Russia took a chunk of 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:43.880 land from a weaker neighbor, and blah blah blah, and 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:45.400 what's it saying about the world and all that sort 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.240 of stuff, which I agree with one hundred percent. 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:49.720 Were you been saved for a long time, you're not 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.600 gonna push him out. No, I mean no, Ukraine can't. 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:55.080 And apparently the world's not willing to help them. 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:57.880 So all right, that's where we are. 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:01.840 The time honored words of the bully carry great wisdom. 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.480 Those words are what are you going to do about it? 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.640 Or if you're not willing to do enough about it, 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:12.880 it will stand, or an even briefer version which my 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.400 dad outlawed in our home. Well, actually he did an 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:16.840 outlaw and i'm our home when I was a kid. 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.080 He he made it clear that if somebody says this, 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:21.320 you're asking for whatever happens. 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:25.400 Well, and he he imposed sanctions on your oil production too, 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:27.960 that's right, which I. 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.240 Skirted by getting to sending oil to my younger brother, 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:35.000 who been clever bastard. The classic, I mean, this is 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:40.680 the classic bully thing, Make me right, make me so, 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:44.960 that's what's Putin's saying. Everybody's everybody's saying. But but they 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:47.120 took the land in China, what will it look like? 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:49.039 And it's not fair and nuts since world blah blah 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.360 blah make me and nobody's willing to make him leave. 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.800 I think that's where I got lost. Maybe on Friday, I. 0:04:57.960 --> 0:04:59.640 Didn't I didn't like the pageantry. 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.320 I didn't like the riding and the beast and smiling 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:04.200 and waven I didn't like any of that stuff because 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:08.520 Putin might be the worst human being on planet Earth. Yeah, 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:10.200 and I just don't like treating him like he's a 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:14.800 nice guy. But I maybe lost sight of the fact 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:20.359 that nobody's willing to actually fight him and push him out. 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:22.440 So let's deal with reality. 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.039 I think there are a number of nations that might 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:30.600 be willing to go further in the sort of half measures. 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:35.120 We've seen more armaments for Ukraine, more financing that sort 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:39.320 of thing, but in terms of putting their own national 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:42.880 security or prestige online, lending guys going in there and 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:46.520 fighting by the Ukrainian sides, no, nobody's willing to go 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:50.920 that far. So now on the stop gap end of it, 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.640 it looks like all these nations are willing to put 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:55.640 their money where their mouth is. There's lots of talk 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:58.400 in the last twenty four hours of actual habit actually 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:02.400 having European troops or NATO troops or guarantees or whatever. 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:04.640 But as far as like going in there today and 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.640 fighting to push putting out, nobody has stepped up to 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:08.200 the plate on. 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:09.679 That over three years. 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:10.920 Right. 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:15.600 What do you think since I made a strong ish statement, 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:17.520 what do you think of the pageantry and riding in 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:19.159 the beast? Do you think that's a big deal or not? 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:25.480 A doesn't think if it served a purpose, if it 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:29.160 was part of a clever strategy, I would be fine 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:32.520 with it. In spite of the whole You know, you've 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:36.719 de isolated and isolated Pariyah and given him a platform 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:40.080 and propaganda at home, because you know he got heaps 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.680 of propaganda at home. If it served a greater purpose, 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:45.000 I would think, Ah, that was clever. Lured him in 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:48.360 with the pageantry and the flattery, then got him. Except 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:52.680 the opposite happened. Trump was forceful, he was captain hard 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:55.280 ass leading up to it. There's gonna be a ceasefire, 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.120 there will be severe consequences. Gotta have a ceasefire to 0:06:58.160 --> 0:06:59.839 even talk about a bigger piece deal. 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:04.480 Then walked away with no peace deal, no ceasefire, and 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:09.240 no consequences, and singing the praises of his good buddy Vladimir. 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:10.800 I thought the whole thing was disgusting. 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.160 Well, could there be plot twists down the road that 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.320 they make it seem like it was a better thought 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:18.920 out strategy than it seems right now. 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:22.040 Yeah, sure, Well, okay, that's a heck of a thing 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:23.720 to say, Like, if I'm going to take the other side, 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:25.920 I've been on your side since the moment I watched 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:27.640 this thing on Friday, But if I was going to 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.040 take the other side, it would be you're judging this 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.240 based on the first two minutes of the movie. This 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:35.360 is a stupid movie. Nobody's died, nobody's gotten married, nothing 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:42.240 has happened. It just started, and to make any judgments 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:43.720 about it would be ridiculous. 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.880 That's what Marco Rubio was saying yesterday. 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:52.080 And I think the strategy of making bold pronouncements with 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:55.720 definite limitations and then pretending like they didn't happen twenty 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:57.800 four hours later that they were never said. 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.720 And I don't think that's a great way to lead frankly, 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.960 but yeah, absolutely, things could end up in a much 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.000 better place than they are right now. 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:10.680 It is. It's interesting to me that everybody portrays it 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:15.200 as Putin being the you know, the flatterer and getting 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:18.320 what he wants. But when Trump does flattery, it's weakness. 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:23.480 I don't you know, because because Putin's saying, uh, you know, this. 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:25.560 War wouldn't ever happened if it weren't for you, and. 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:27.760 All these different sorts of things, you know, sure, and 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:30.160 talking about what a great guy Trump is and everything. 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:34.480 That's scene as clever KGB strategy flattery to get what 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:36.840 he wants. But when Trump does the same thing, more 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:39.199 or less, rolling out the red carpet, treating h is 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:41.360 eqal and equal to try to get what he wants, 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:43.560 it's seen as weakness. I'm not sure that's fair. 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:51.120 Counterpoint, Putin is one hundred percent not susceptible to that try. 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:54.280 Yes, I'm very I'm surprised that Trump thinks he is. 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:57.479 I don't know that I agree with that presentation. I 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:02.360 hated the red carpet like I like the B two 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:03.440 bombers flying over. 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:04.880 Everybody loved that. 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:09.640 The second they shaked hands, shook hands, I mean, how 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:11.680 did they get the timing on that? I mean, who 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:13.360 is on the radio call and in Okay, it looks 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:14.679 like they're gonna shake hands. 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:15.520 In five four. 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.840 I mean, because the moment they stand there, it's just 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:22.680 sh the most powerful jet in the history of the 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:26.640 world flies right over their heads with deafening noise, right 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:30.240 right well, and the KGB agent looked up, smile and said, 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:34.560 cool planes. Yeah, I agree with you, you said, I 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:36.280 don't think that has any effect on him. I don't 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:38.800 think that makes him Oh my god, that's right. They've 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:40.480 got the best plane in the world or anything. I 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:42.199 know he got planes. I know how many planes. I 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:47.840 know what planes. As a friend of mine close to 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:52.600 government said, I guess just actually unzipping their pants and 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.360 measuring them would have been unseemly, so they went with them, 0:09:55.400 --> 0:10:00.720 flying the planes overhead. Thank god, we are are blurring 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.760 out the scene on CNN, as it seems both men 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:07.000 have unzipped their pants and now they're measuring their genitalia 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:09.760 and what can only be seen as an unprecedented move. 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:15.679 So, just as another flavor, a little salt in the cake, 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:16.960 there's salt in a cake. 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:18.520 It balances the sweet. 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:23.240 There's sweet in like a rub you put on ribs. 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:25.240 It's a balance. I just want to make this clear. 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:27.600 I just read a long piece I was thinking about 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:29.000 bringing it to the show. It's a little dry, a 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.840 little longish about this girl who's working in the Equal 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:36.000 Opportunity Commission. She was a Trump appointee first term and 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:38.960 soon they're going to have a quorum, and she is 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:43.320 enforcing civil rights law like it ought to be enforced. 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:46.360 There's no racism. We don't allow racism in the country. 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:51.040 There's no woke DEEI White people are bad. You know, 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:55.559 quota's crap. We're going to force law. It's heroic. It 0:10:55.640 --> 0:11:00.200 might save the country, honest to God. And Trump is 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:03.959 the engine behind it. He has brought the you know, 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:07.400 the greatest cleaning crew in the world to try to 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:11.400 clean all the woke out of America, which I have 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.800 said is is the greatest threat against US internal self 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:18.800 hatred and and martism. 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.120 And Trump is leading the war against that. Love them 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:25.560 for that, love them for that, often hate his foreign policy. 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:30.480 I do not have Trump derangement syndrome. I have reality syndrome. 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:34.800 R ass. It makes you unhappy all the time. Uh, 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:36.520 but it's it's kind of grounding. 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:39.360 Well if you if you're if you're pro the way 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.280 Trump has handled this or not as bothered by it. 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:44.400 As I was on Friday. Like I said, I think 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.600 I've been talked down somewhat. Mark Alprin's got a very 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.680 interesting piece today in his newsletter about how there is 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:53.599 Trump derangement syndrome out there and attacking how this was 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.280 handled over the weekend, and we can bring that to you. 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.360 We should start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:02.640 Joe Getti. This it is Monday, August eighteenth, first week 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:05.000 of school for my kids. You're twenty twenty five. Where 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:06.960 I'm strong in getting we approve of this program. 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.040 All right, let's begin that officially according the FCC rules rags. 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:11.000 Here we go at Mark. 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:14.480 Now, it's really up to President Zolensky to get it done. 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:18.040 And I would also say the European nations they have 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:20.160 to get involved a little bit. But it's up to 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:23.400 Presidents Olynsky. I think we are and if they'd like, 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.079 I'll be at that next meeting. They're going to set 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:28.440 up a meeting now between President Zelensky and President Putin 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:31.680 and myself. I guess you know, I didn't even I 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:33.120 didn't ask you about it. Not that I want to 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:34.920 be there, but I want to make sure it gets done. 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:40.080 And we have a pretty good chance of getting it done. 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:43.480 The reporting is that the White House is hoping for 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:47.199 a Putin Zelensky Trump meeting the three of them this week. 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:53.199 This week Wow, Katie's headlines on the way next Armstrong 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:56.960 and getting Wow, that's going to be some meeting at 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:58.440 the White House today? Holy cow. 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:02.040 I mean, I think there's zero chance there's not tremendous 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:02.720 drama there. 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:05.720 Oh yeah, guaranteed. 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:10.080 Is this gonna be like it was last time around, 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:11.440 where the cameras are there and we're. 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.240 All watching them uncomfortably as this plays out? 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:16.560 Low it live? Or is this gonna be behind the 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:20.560 scenes and gotta believe that all the visitors are gonna say, now, 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:23.120 let's let's it's got to be close to hers I hope. 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:26.280 So I think that makes it better. Yeah, one hundred percent. 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:29.840 Yeah. Can you imagine all the important negotiations and deals 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:31.520 and arguments you've had in your life if there are 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:35.040 cameras rolling plays terrible? All right, here's uh, let's figure 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:36.480 out who's reporting what it's the lead story. 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:39.040 It's Katie Green Katie. All right, you guys touched on this, 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:40.200 but it is the biggest story. 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:44.120 ABC News Trump says Zelenski can end Russia war quote, 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:46.640 almost immediately before the White House meeting. 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:51.360 See, I'm I'm trying to understand that narrative that Trump's 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:54.800 got a game here. But has he ever said that 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:57.760 sort of thing about Putin? Putin could end this war 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.360 today if he stopped the fighting and pull that. Has 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:01.160 he ever said that? 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:03.480 Not that I remember? No. 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:08.160 From The New York Times, Trump says he'll quote lead 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:11.160 a movement to eliminate mail in ballots. 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:14.319 I know he truthed that in the middle of the night. 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:16.800 I get so his energy level or the way his 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:18.160 mind works or whatever. 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:19.880 He's got one of the biggest meetings in. 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:23.040 World history coming up today, and he's you know, truth 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:25.480 and about other topics that he's really into. In fact, 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:26.920 he truth like a couple hours ago. 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:29.200 Just see the new flags that I put outside the 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:34.720 interests look great? Wow, Wow, We'll never hear about the 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:35.960 mail in ballot thing again. 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:41.720 From Fox News. Sixty eight DC suspects arrested in single 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.920 night as White House Trump's touts Trump's push to clean 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:45.920 up the capital city. 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:52.240 Yeah.

I heard that, and then you can 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:15.320 filter out so you don't even get a shot as 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:17.200 like a guy who's five to nine. If it's somebody 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.280 who wants somethy five to ten dollars. 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:19.760 That's batal. 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:22.120 You get a lot of lying. And then there's height 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:25.040 inflation that women think. You know, I say six feet, 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:26.360 I get a bunch of five nine guys. 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:30.160 I better say six four.

Oh that's disgusting. 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:36.280 Who had the greatest defense of Donald Trump's weekend Mark 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:39.440 Alpern in his newsletter, I think you'll find that pretty interesting, 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:40.400 among other things. 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:44.440 On the way stay with us, Armstrong and Getty. 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:49.600 That meeting was a disaster. It was an embarrassment for 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:52.320 the United States. It was a failure. Pud got everything 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:54.560 he wanted. I mean, first of all, he wanted that 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.240 photo op right. He wanted to be absolved of his 0:16:57.280 --> 0:16:59.640 war crimes in front of the world. 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:01.280 He was invited to the United States. 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:04.200 War criminals are not normally invited to the United States 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:08.080 of America. He is intentionally murdering civilians, he's kidnapping children, 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:10.280 and now he got to stand next to the President 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:13.080 of the United States, legitimized in the view of the world. 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:15.680 So Senator Chris Murphy, Democrat, just wanted to play a 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:17.840 little bit of what the you know, the other side 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:21.439 was saying about this all weekend long. A lot of 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:24.359 it was a disaster, and then you go through the 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:28.600 numbers of ways it was a disaster. I was pretty 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:30.960 unhappy with the result on Friday. I've been talked down 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:36.960 by you know, variety of pundits that I like over 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:39.320 the weekend somewhat. But I wanted to read to you 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:42.720 from Mark Alprin's newsletter today, which I thought was really interesting. First, 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:46.320 he does a list of all the negative things various 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:49.440 news outlets have said about the way things went on Friday, 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:52.840 and then he says, here's the actual list, in the 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:53.879 way you ought to look at it. 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:54.640 One. 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:59.720 Putin shows no signs of losing the war, losing public 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.600 opinion at home, or stopping on his own. He has 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.320 leveraged that Trump can't just talk him out of. 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:07.359 Two. 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:10.320 Trump is closely coordinating with Ukraine and Europe, whose leaders 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:13.200 announced that they are joining Zelensky in DC on Monday. 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:15.680 This was written the other day. Obviously, Trump can't make 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:18.399 a unilateral deal without Europe and Ukraine on board, and 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:21.800 he knows that. So any coming up with a deal 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:25.919 while Europe and Zelensky aren't there, How is that ever 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:29.280 gonna happen? Oh, that was never gonna happen, right, Well, 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:32.359 that's they got hammered on that all weekend, every talk show. 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:35.920 You got you accomplished nothing, You did not get a deal. Well, 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:37.760 as Halprin's pointing out, how is he gonna make a 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:42.600 deal without Zelensky there or the EU two say yeah, 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:46.000 we agree. Anyhow, that's the mainstream media asking the wrong 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:48.760 question or making the wrong accusation as usual. 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:51.800 But on you go. That's fine for Trump. 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:55.040 Can't suddenly change public or congressional opinion to be in 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:59.000 favor of unlimited American taxpayer funding for a lendless war. 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:02.960 There's just not enough backing to go that direction. As 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:05.800 a number of people want a number of anyway, liberal 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:10.760 media hosts want. Trump has now suggested the possibility of 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:13.920 US security guarantees for Ukraine. The British say they will 0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:17.240 put boots on the ground. These are very very big 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:22.800 developments from the we got nothing, Trump got everything. Camp 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:25.400 I would say, possible British boots. 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:29.160 On the ground in Ukraine that's not what Putin wants, right, Yeah, 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:33.600 I just the whole thing's been so, I mean, one 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:36.840 of my main objections to the way Trump approached it. 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:41.440 Then what happened was that the entire description of what 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:44.639 needed to happen, what ought to happen, the strategy just 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:48.520 evaporated in thin air. Nothing that was said before matters now, 0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:52.160 and so nothing that was said subsequently matters now. 0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:54.240 Either I have no idea what to believe. 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:57.720 You either agree with this one or not. Trump gave 0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:00.720 Putin a grand show in Alaska that was meaningless pomp 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:03.080 and if making the Russia dictator feel like a big 0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:05.240 guy helps get a deal. It was the smartest and 0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:10.880 cheapest red carpet treatment ever, basically with no downside. He says. 0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:15.840 It won't but is there a downside? 0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:17.760 I didn't like the look of it, But is it 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:21.439 actually you tried to flatter him it didn't work. Is 0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:23.359 there is that a no harm, no foul? Or is 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:25.639 that a giant deal that he has got in the 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:26.399 red cart treatment? 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:27.359 Blah blah blah blah. 0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:29.600 It gave him a pr coup at home, But I 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:30.919 don't know how big a deal that is. 0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:33.080 He's a dictator. Forgetting rights exactly. 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:36.800 Yeah, these you know it's funny, Well go ahead, I'll 0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:39.359 If ending the war were easy, Joe Biden would have 0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:39.600 done it. 0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:41.879 This is hard stuff, unlikely to happen in the first 0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:43.399 three hour act of the drama. 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:46.240 That gets again, I have to disagree. Joe Biden didn't 0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:47.359
