00:00It doesn't look good. And Zelensky in particular is someone that frankly should have been removed

00:04quite early. And people say, well, how could you do that? Well, you suspend all American military

00:10aid to Ukraine. Number one, we've discussed this before. And then you get all of the Americans who

00:15are in Ukraine out. I mean, Trump quite recently said, this is not my war, this is Biden's war.

00:21Wrong. It's your war now, President Trump. You haven't taken the decisive action to distance

00:26yourself from this disaster. So here we sit and nothing concrete or fundamental has occurred.

00:33Now, I'm hopeful that maybe those dynamics are chipped and maybe they should have been in a case

00:39from day one. I think his claim that he's going to have this over in one day in 24 hours. Obviously,

00:45that was hyperbole from the beginning, but I thought that it would imply that he was going to be ready

00:49to take decisive action on day one, which could have brought this to some kind of a conclusion,

00:53probably even already, if he had done the things that you suggested. But belatedly or not,

00:58it looks like he may finally have had his patience run out. And one of the things that he's being

01:03vilified for, especially in the European community right now, is because he said in an interview last

01:10night, Zelensky actually started this war. There's a bit of a nuance here, as you'll see at the beginning

01:14of this clip.

01:15Biden could have stopped it. And Zelensky could have stopped it. And Putin should have never started

01:22it. Everybody's to blame.

01:25Have you spoken to President Zelensky, sir, about his offer to purchase more Patriot missile batteries?

01:30I don't know. He's always looking to purchase missiles. You know, he's against. Listen,

01:35when you start a war, you got to know that you can win the war. You don't start a war against

01:39somebody that's 20 times your size, and then hope that people give you some missiles.

01:45What do you make about the claim that Zelensky or Biden could have stopped the war before?

01:50Biden was in the position as the president of the United States and the leader of NATO to stop all

01:56of it quite quickly. That was always doable. So that much is true. When you start talking about the rest

02:02of it, I think the president, frankly, is a little confused. This is a much more complex,

02:07complicated matter that apparently he realizes. This whole business was a function of NATO expansion

02:14from the beginning. And President Putin has been saying for years, over and over and over again,

02:20don't push this envelope. We don't want NATO on our borders. If it shows up on our borders,

02:26there will be a war. In the meantime, we poured billions and billions and billions into Ukraine

02:31for the purpose of building up what turned out to be the largest army in NATO. By the time the

02:36Russians went into Ukraine, you had almost 800,000 men under arms in Ukraine. They had some of the

02:42best equipment and weaponry that you could get. And they had ostensibly, in retrospect, the enormous

02:49benefit of American military leadership and strategy and secondarily British military leadership and

02:56strategy, which is a hell of a note, frankly, since it's been catastrophic for Ukraine. But the point is,

03:02President Trump might also think about taking his own advice when it comes to size and numbers.

03:08He was talking about Zelensky. Well, Zelensky was promised by us that he would win because we would

03:13stand behind him and provide him with everything that we could. That was always a dangerous promise

03:20and not one that was likely to be fulfilled. But President Trump needs to reexamine the wisdom

03:25of waging a tariff war or an economic war on China that is infinitely larger and whose markets

03:32are frankly increasingly broader and deeper than our own. So we're in the same position now vis-a-vis

03:38China as Zelensky is with Russia. You look back and Zelensky himself was the guy from 2019 on

03:45that refused to comply with the Minsk agreements. He refused the opportunity from Putin in December 2021

03:52to get the war off. He added the law in March of 2021 that said they were going to now retake the

03:58positions, the areas that Russia had to include Crimea, which was a red bull, a red cape in front

04:04of a bull. Then, of course, he refused the April 2022 deal in Istanbul, et cetera, and is refusing now

04:11to do anything that Trump wants to bring the war to an end. So if you're looking at who's keeping the

04:16war going, it seems to me it's for Zelensky.

04:18Yeah, well, obviously Zelensky is a criminal. He was a nothing comedian who spoke only Russian and

04:25had been raised in Russia, had no real connection whatsoever to Ukraine in any way, shape or form,

04:31and was picked by one of the oligarchs and Victoria Nuland and the rest of these people to

04:36be the puppet for Ukraine. I mean, this is the sort of thing we tried in Georgia.

04:42The Russians intervened there militarily and killed it and put an end to it.

04:45We've tried to set up puppet regimes all over the place, ostensibly for the purpose of either

04:50harming or containing what we said was the dangerous state of Russia. All of this nonsense

04:56needs to come to an end. But I think the president is surrounded by people who are no less invested in

05:02the lie and the fiction than the man you just quoted. I mean, if you go through these people like

05:07Gorka and Waltz and Ruby on us, my God, they live in a world that doesn't exist. It's all fiction.

05:15Let's stop for a minute and understand a couple of things that emerged from this Ukraine war that

05:20nobody else ever comes forward and mentions. Number one, what was demonstrated conclusively

05:26is that NATO equipment, NATO military technology, which is in large measure American, is inferior

05:39to the equipment the Russians have brought to the battlefield. Secondly, NATO tactics, so-called NATO

05:46operational art, is stuck in the distant past. It's ill-suited to the modern battlefield. And the people

05:54that have paid the price for this are the Ukrainians who have been forced into fighting it. So that's

05:59very, very important. And in the meantime, in this stupid tariff attack on most of all China,

06:06and vacillating back and forth between attacking China economically and then making peace with it,

06:12we've made fools of ourselves and we've demonstrated that in addition to no longer being the military power

06:18we once were, we're no longer the economic power we think we are. So these are the two great insights

06:25that are settling into the BRICS community. If you live in Japan, China, Korea, India,

06:34Iran, anywhere, it's hard to miss this. The people in Brazil haven't missed it. The people in most of

06:40the world haven't missed it. But this man in England completely fails to grasp it, as do too many people

06:46in Washington. President Trump needs to be the platonic figure who leads everybody out of the

06:52cave into the daylight. I just don't know if he could do it because he's torn and he keeps vacillating

07:00between one position and the other. That's the prescription for failure in national leadership.

07:05One of the other areas that has led to some disputes, but again, it looks to me like that

07:10Trump is finally coming to the point to where he's ready to say, all right, we're just going to cut

07:13bait here because he has started saying actually a lot more often. Now this whole issue about this

07:19war is actually Biden's war. I know that you're saying, well, now it's his war, but he may be

07:25using this as a device to get this off the table. Do you have a reaction to Russia's

07:30poem Sunday attack? I think it was terrible and I was told they made a mistake,

07:35but I think it's a horrible thing. I think the whole war is a horrible thing.

07:38You said they made a mistake. You were told they made a mistake. You mean it was unintentional?

07:42They made a mistake. I believe it was. Look, you're going to ask them.

07:46This is Biden's war. This is not my war. I've been here for a very short period of time.

07:51This is a war that was under Biden. He gave him billions and billions of dollars.

07:56He should have never allowed. If you remember this, this is Biden's war. I'm just trying to get it

08:02stopped so that we can save a lot of lives. They happen to be Ukrainian and Russian lives.

08:09All I want to do is get it stopped. I want to zero in on that issue he's talking about. That's this

08:14attack that happened in Sumi where a lot of civilians were killed and all virtually all of the Western

08:20media is seizing on this is, you know, just the latest effort that Putin is this evil guy. He just

08:26intentionally attacked this place for no good reason other than to kill civilian people. That was his

08:31intended target, was to destroy that. But then we have information by a Ukrainian member of the

08:38RADA, their parliament, who came out and said, hey, listen, this is something that we knew about

08:42days in advance. There was a military award ceremony by the 117th Brigade that had been placed there in

08:49the middle of Sumi on a day on Palm Sunday, et cetera. And she was saying, hey, we told you guys not

08:55to do this and you went ahead and did it anyway. And then Russia struck it. In response to this,

09:01Sergei Lavrov yesterday was unequivocal that, yeah, we attacked it. But here's the reason why.

09:06There have been countless instances of artillery and air defense systems being deployed in urban areas near

09:12kindergartens. There are millions of videos online showing Ukrainian women screaming at soldiers to get

09:23away from stores and playgrounds. Yet this practice continues. We have evidence regarding who was

09:34present at the facility that was struck in Sumi. It was yet another gathering of Ukrainian military

09:42commanders with their Western counterparts, whether under the guise of mercenaries or some other pretext,

09:47I don't know. NATO military personnel are present there and directly overseeing operations.

09:54Everyone knows this. The New York Times recently explained how the Americans have played a decisive

09:59role in attacks against Russia from the very beginning. Without their involvement, most long range

10:05missiles would never have even left their launch sites. Is this just Sergei Lavrov just trying to put

10:11a good face on something that was bad? Or is he telling the truth? My experience over the last three

10:18plus years has been that the Russians have always told the truth. The Ukrainians have nearly always

10:24lied. And the United States and Great Britain and other Western outlets for the media, thanks to MI6

10:31the CIA, have done everything in their power to disseminate the lies. So I'm sure the man is telling

10:37the truth. Go back to Bukha. Remember Bukha? Oh, the Russians have done this. They tied people's

10:43hands behind their back, shot them through the heads, then they threw the bodies in the streets and piled

10:48them up in the cellars. It's all nonsense. We know that now. It's absolute lie. Let's just move on.

10:55This is a lot of nonsense. There's something that's even more important. In April, I received a phone

11:03call from... This is April of 2022. I received a phone call from Mar-a-Lago. And the individual on

11:10the other end said, well, we're interested in what you think about Ukraine. And I said, well, sure. I

11:17said, the first thing to consider is that the Ukraine war needs to end immediately. We should

11:23negotiate an end to this, convene peace talks as soon as possible. And they said, why? I said,

11:30because the Ukrainians are going to be crushed. They have no chance of winning. And the Russians

11:36aren't even fully engaged. But when they do, it'll be over. Well, everybody here says Ukrainians are

11:42winning. This is the sort of stupidity and ignorance and arrogance that has passed for advice

11:49to the president. People around him need to go away. He's got the wrong people advising him,

11:56in my judgment, on just about everything. And if he persists in this, we're going to be at war very

12:02shortly in the Middle East. And we're going to watch our economy collapse into ruins. I don't know what

12:09else to say, Dan, because that's where we're headed. There is a flight from reality inside the

12:15administration as well as inside the beltway. You can't turn to people like Rubio or Gorka or

12:24Waltz or Higgs that these people are all part of this sort of self-induced fiction that has no

12:33bearing on reality. They have a false picture of everything. The world that we live in, our strategic

12:38posture, our capabilities. It's very, very dangerous. I don't know how the president fixes it. But as long

12:45as these people are there, it's going to be very difficult for the president to get out of this,

12:50to get out of the mess he's in in Ukraine and disengage fundamentally from it unless he does

12:55exactly what I've been saying for many months now. This started, you and I talked about this before

13:00the election, after the election, and have continued to talk about it. Suspend all support for Zelensky

13:06in this criminal regime, the most corrupt, one of the most, if not the most corrupt country in the

13:11world, where the population is being ruthlessly exploited by its own government and millions of

13:18lives are lost and destroyed as a result, all unnecessarily. So he's got to make some profound

13:23changes. He needs to do it very quickly. Get rid of these people. If he doesn't, then he's going to be

13:29standing on the bridge of the Titanic waving to the few people on lifeboats that were smart enough to get

13:34off.
