2. The Ambush in the Oval Office

Host 1 (Jennifer Welch) opens the discussion by setting the stage for the night's primary focus:

[00:00] Jennifer: "Foreign. The happiest person on the planet right now is Vladimir Putin. Champagne bottles are popping. Russian caviar I'm sure is being snorted off of oligarchs ass. ... This was an ambush. The convicted felon Donald Trump, who cosplays as being President of the United States and former drag queen, failed drag queen JD Vance ambushed Zelensky in the Oval Office with the press all around, I'm sure at Putin's instruction."

The hosts describe the encounter as both "bananas," "humiliating," and "dangerous," emphasizing the unprecedented nature of the event.

3. Transcript Highlights

The podcast provides a detailed breakdown of the recorded interaction between Trump, Vance, and Zelensky:

a. Trump’s Confrontation with Zelensky

[00:59] Donald Trump: "Kind of diplomacy that's going to end the destruction of your country."

[01:02] Zelensky: "Yes. But if you..."

[01:18] Trump: "...you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems. You should be thanking the President for trying to bring it into this conference."

Zelensky responds with frustration, questioning Trump's understanding of Ukraine's struggles:

[01:18] Zelensky: "Have you ever been to Ukraine that you say what problems we have?"

Trump continues his critique, accusing Zelensky of using the Oval Office as a propaganda tool:

[01:22] Trump: "I have been to come once... Mr. President, do you disagree that you've had problems like bringing people into your military... you're gambling with the lives of millions of people."

b. Interaction Between Zelensky and Vance

The conversation shifts as Vance engages with Zelensky:

[01:49] Zelensky: "A lot of, a lot of questions. Let's start from the beginning."

[02:21] Vance: "...You're gambling with World War III. You're gambling with World War 3."

Zelensky attempts to maintain composure, while Vance escalates the tension, accusing the administration of weakening the U.S.:

[02:58] Trump: "Have you said thank you?"

[03:01] Vance: "Don't tell us what we're going to feel. We're going to feel very good and very strong."

4. Hosts’ Analysis and Reactions

Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan provide a scathing critique of the events unfolding:

[03:16] Jennifer: "That is absolutely disgraceful. ... Live streamed over at the Kremlin. This is so horrific."

They lambast Trump and Vance for undermining U.S. leadership and aligning with Russian interests:

[05:37] Jennifer: "They are defending a dictator, and he's trying to make this whole thing transactional."

The hosts argue that this incident represents a "complete realignment of the world powers," suggesting that the U.S. is drifting towards autocracy:

[07:27] Vance: "What if a bomb drops on your head right now?"

[07:39] Jennifer: "From a position of leadership, he would say, that's why we're in here meeting, because Vladimir Putin is not a man of his word... We are shifting from being joined with democracies over to being joined with autocrats and dictatorships."

[12:19] J.D. Vance: "If we're out, you'll fight it out. But you don't have the cards."

[15:02] Commenter Rhonda: "Absolutely hate the way they humiliated Zelensky. ... They look like weak cowards to me."

[15:16] Commenter Ms. B: "Marco Rubio must be on the take. ..."

6. Key Insights and Conclusions

Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan conclude the episode by emphasizing the gravity of the political shifts and the potential threats to American democracy:

Jennifer: "We are seeing a seismic shift that we are aligning with the axis of evil."

Angie: "This is abhorrent. ... The United States is getting dismantled, defunded, turned over to the oligarchs, and straight to the Kremlin."

They call for immediate action against what they perceive as an internal coup and the need for cohesive leadership to resist these authoritarian influences.

7. Final Thoughts

In the closing moments, the hosts reflect on the personal toll of covering such tumultuous events:

Jennifer: "Thank you guys for sticking with me on my maiden solo live. ... I'll see you guys soon."

Transcript

[Host 1]

Foreign. The happiest person on the planet right now is Vladimir Putin. Champagne bottles are popping. Russian caviar I'm sure is being snorted off of oligarchs ass. And of course all of this news hits pumps is in Vegas. So y'all are stuck with me. This is bananas. This is humiliating, this is dangerous. And most importantly, this was an ambush. The convicted felon Donald Trump, who cosplays as being President of the United States and former drag queen, failed drag queen JD Vance ambushed Zelensky in the Oval Office with the press all around, I'm sure at Putin's instruction. You guys have got to watch this video. It is so horrible talking about the.

[Donald Trump]

Kind of diplomacy that's going to end the destruction of your country.

[Volodymyr Zelensky]

Yes. But if you.

[Donald Trump]

Mr. President, Mr. President, with respect, I think it's disrespectful for you to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media. Right now you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems. You should be thanking the President for trying to bring it into this conference.

[Volodymyr Zelensky]

Have you ever been to Ukraine that you say what problems we have?

[Donald Trump]

I have been to come once. I have actually, I've actually watched and seen the stories and I know, know what happens is you bring people, you bring them on a propaganda tour. Mr. President, are, do you disagree that you've had problems like bringing people into your military and do you think that it's respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?

[Volodymyr Zelensky]

A lot of, a lot of questions. Let's start from the beginning.

[J.D. Vance]

Sure.

[Volodymyr Zelensky]

First of all, during the war everybody has problems, even you. But you have nice ocean and don't feel now, but you will feel it in the future. God bless.

[J.D. Vance]

You don't know that.

[Volodymyr Zelensky]

God bless. God bless you.

[J.D. Vance]

Don't tell us what we're going to feel. We're trying to solve a problem. Don't tell us what we're going to feel.

[Volodymyr Zelensky]

I'm not telling you because you're in.

[J.D. Vance]

No position to dictate that. Remember this, you're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel. We're going to feel very good. We're going to feel very good and very strong.

[Volodymyr Zelensky]

You will feel influenced.

[J.D. Vance]

You're right now not in a very good position. You've allowed to be in a very beginning and he happens to be right.

[Volodymyr Zelensky]

About it from the very beginning.

[Host 1]

Of the war.

[J.D. Vance]

You're not in a good position. Position. You don't have the cards right now with us. You start having cards right now. You don't. You're gambling with the lives of millions of people. You're gambling with World War III. You're gambling with World War 3. And what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country.

[Volodymyr Zelensky]

I'm.

[J.D. Vance]

With all respect to you, Far more than a lot of people said they should have.

[Donald Trump]

Have you said thank you?

[Volodymyr Zelensky]

Once a lot of times?

[Donald Trump]

No.

[Volodymyr Zelensky]

Even today you said thank you.

[Donald Trump]

You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October. Offer some words of appreciation for the United States of America and the president who's trying to save your country.

[Host 1]

That is absolutely disgraceful. That is unbelievable. The way they ambushed him. And it was done at the direction of Vladimir Putin. Make no mistake about it. Trump has had opportunity after opportunity after opportunity to confront Vladimir Putin, who is a war criminal, who is a murderer, who is a savage, who is the opposite of everything that America is supposed to stand for, who, by the way, only 20% of the American public likes him. When's the last time we had a poll in the United States where 80% of the American public all agreed that Putin was a bad actor? And these two bozos sit there in the Oval Office and ambush him with the press all around, no question. Live streamed over at the Kremlin. This is so horrific. And then what a titty baby is. J.D. vance, have you said thank you? Have you said thank you? Grow up. I mean, grow up. Go home and put on your smoky eyeliner, you queen. I mean, that is unbelievable. Zelinsky has more balls than those men could. Those men could ever dream of having. And those men sitting right there are the weakest, the weakest position I've ever seen, American leadership ever. I've never seen anything like that in my life. They are defending the axis of evil. This is a complete realignment of the world powers, where we are shifting from being joined with democracies over to being joined with autocrats and dictatorships. They are defending a dictator, and he's trying to make this whole thing transactional. Donald Trump and all of maga, they think that you can run government like a business. Government is not a business. It's not about transactions. And they want to make everything transactional. And then Vladimir Putin, you guys, MAGA voted basically for him. None of this does anything about eggs, which they all claimed. None of this does anything about inflation. None of. They don't even talk about Immig anymore, because they're too big. They're too busy parroting Russian talking points. All right, let's play the next clip.

[J.D. Vance]

Get this thing over with. You see the hatred he's got for Putin? It's very tough for me to make a deal with that kind of hate. He's got tremendous hatred.

[Host 1]

I mean, can you believe? Can you believe, like, he. He hates my girlfriend, and so I don't like him. I mean, grow up. That's unbelievable. Everybody should hate Putin. And why should Zelinsky feel anything other than disdain and hatred? Putin, considering he started a war on their country, raped their women, kidnapped their children. This guy is a horrible, horrible war criminal. And Trump is sitting there saying, he's mean to my girlfriend. Grow up. I mean, this is. This is unbelievable. It's unprecedented. These. This is a Russian coup of the United States of America, and everybody wants to dilly dally around and act like it's something different. This is straight up exactly what Vladimir Putin wants. Musk is going in, dismantling the federal government. I was just on the news before I sat down here. All the national parks, there's litter everywhere. They're completely debilitating all the infrastructure, all of the support that the federal government to run this country because they're about to turn it into Russia. And contrary to what some of you have seen when you watch Tucker Carlson's propaganda news or whenever you watch Fox propaganda news, Russia is a shithole. It is a steaming pile of dog, that country. And that's what Trump and Musk and former drag queen JD Vance are doing to this country. All right, here's another clip. Here's some more assholery from these two bozos. What do you do then? I understand that it's a heated conversation, right?

[J.D. Vance]

What are you saying?

[Donald Trump]

She's asking, what if Russia breaks the ceasefire?

[J.D. Vance]

What if anything, what if a bomb drops on your head right now? Okay, what if they break it?

[Host 1]

So basically, right there, he's saying he knows that Putin's gonna break the ceasefire. He knows it. But it's like that. When he gets so defensive like that. This is not a position of leadership. From a position of leadership, he would say, that's why we're in here meeting, because Vladimir Putin is not a man of his word. He moves the goalposts. He is a war criminal. This is what you should be hearing from the democracies. And we're supposed to be the superpower of all of the democracies. That is over. It is over. And so to all of The Democrats who have been dilly dallying around and, oh, it appears like these people are authoritarian, and it appears that they have authoritarian tendencies. They do. They are doing Vladimir Putin's dirty work for him from the Oval Office. And let's just remember what happened last time we were in the Oval Office. We have Elon Musk towering over Donald Trump with his toddler. The toddler's picking his nose, wiping the boogers on the desk. This is humiliating. If Barack Obama did this, I promise you, I promise you, they would have him in jail and they would issue the death penalty. They would. That's just how. That's how it would be handled. Why so many Americans allow this horrible person to get away with all of these things and move the goalposts for him and find all this duplicity. It's okay if he does it, but not okay if this person does it is really disgusting. It is so disgusting. The cult that this man has cultivated in this country and Russia and Vladimir Putin started this with him. They started all of this propaganda. This is a war. It's a different type of war. It's a psychological war that Putin launched because he knew militarily he could not beat us. So he started with a psychological war, and guess what he got. A civil war within the United States of propaganda and ideas. And in the interim, the United States of America is getting dismantled, defunded, turned over to the oligarchs, and straight to the Kremlin. This is abhorrent. All right, let's put up some comments. Impeach him immediately. Felon cannot talk to a real president like that. I could not agree more. But you know what? My two cents? The Republicans are impotent and castrated. These are castrated men masquerading as alpha males. That's what you saw in the Oval Office today. Two men who had been completely castrated. That is total castration. I have no faith, okay? We have Bathtub Mary. There are worse. They are worse than hypocrites because they are too low IQ to know their own minds. I completely agree. Because they're sitting there with hubris, thinking, oh, yeah, we're badasses. We're being so badass right now, not realizing that anybody with an emotional intelligence or a high IQ immediately realizes they're operating from a position of abject weakness. All right, David Gennaro says, wonder how Fox will spin this shit. I guarantee you, David, they are going to be like, this is what real leadership looks like. Jesse Waters is probably beaten off to it right now because all he does is ever talk about 24 7, what real men do and how masculine people are. I mean, this is. This is wild. I cannot believe, as a child that grew up in the 80s and learned about the USSR and juxtaposition their belief system with America's, that we are here right now. It's wild. Okay. Sonia says he's such a coward, he would never speak to Putin that way. What a disgrace. No, in fact, he always defends Putin. Remember in Helsinki when it was like, what do we know? It was Russia. How do we know it's Russia? He always, every chance he gets, he defends Putin. He, like, he can't quit Putin because Putin owns him. I think he owns him financially, and I think they have very compromising information on him, and I think they have for decades. And you guys, the fix is in. The fixes, and the fix was in before anybody went to the voting booth. They have had the fix in on this thing. They are dismantling the government. This is a coup. And I don't care what anybody else says. It cannot be spun any other way. And if somebody tries to spin in another way, it's they're gaslighting you or it's straight up propaganda. Somebody else here puts the United States of Russia. And that's just so heartbreaking. It is just. It is. It is. It is so horrible. Okay, let's play another clip.

[J.D. Vance]

Wants to make a deal. I don't know if you can make a deal. The problem is I've empowered you to be a tough guy, and I don't think you'd be a tough guy without the United States. And your people are very brave. But you either going to make a deal or we're out. And if we're out, you'll fight it out. I don't think it's going to be pretty, but you'll fight it out. But you don't have the cards. But once we sign that deal, you're in a much better position, but you're not acting at all thankful. And that's not a nice thing. I'll be honest. That's not a nice thing. All right, I think we've seen enough. What do you think, huh? This is going to be great television.

[Host 1]

I will say that this guy lecturing people on niceties and gratitude is so rich, it's breathtaking. I mean, this is the most ungrateful piece of on the planet who could never, ever, ever stand up to a bully. He could never, ever, ever do it. How do we know this? Because we've seen how he craters around Elon Musk, his posture around Elon Musk, his demeanor around Elon Musk. Exact same goes with Vladimir Putin. Trump is smoke and mirrors. He is a total con man, grifter extraordinaire, who has ascended to this position with the help of Russia and a South African oligarch who want to dismantle the United States of America. This realignment of the American, American power to align with Russia, North Korea, Iran, China is. Should be the top of the news story. There should be pressure, pressure, pressure on all of these cowardice Republican politicians because it is slipping, slipping, slipping away. And while we are all sitting around talking about, well, he's not doing anything about inflation and he's not doing anything about this. Well, no shit, Sherlock, because he's colluding with Russia and this is a coup by Russia over the United States of America. It's just that simple. For those of you that are just joining, Pumps went to Las Vegas last night. She offered to take her computer and I said, darling, no. You know, it's probably just going to be more stupid. Trump, you won't need to do it. If anything breaks, I'll go solo. So y'all are stuck with me. And not the fun one. Pumps. I sure wish she was here right now, but I'm glad she's having fun with her friends. Okay, next up, we have Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend asking a question to Zelensky. And this is just about more than I can take.

[J.D. Vance]

My second question for President Zelensky, do you ever. Why don't you wear a suit? Why don't you wear a suit? You're the highest level in this country's office and you refuse to wear a suit. Just want to see if you do own a suit.

[Volodymyr Zelensky]

Yeah, yeah. Problems.

[J.D. Vance]

A lot of Americans have problems with you not expecting.

[Volodymyr Zelensky]

I don't have such office. I will wear costume after this war will finish. Okay, yes, maybe.

[Host 1]

Wow.

[Volodymyr Zelensky]

Maybe something like yours. Yes. Maybe some. Something better. I. I don't know. We will see. Maybe something cheaper than. Yeah, thank you.

[Host 1]

Gee, I wonder how he and Marjorie Taylor Greene ever hit it off. I mean, for sake, you guys, first and foremost, would they ever ask Elon Musk that? No. Why? Because they're. This is what bullies do. They try to pick on somebody who they're jealous of. They're jealous of Zelensky because Zelensk. Zelensky is a badass. Ukraine is a teeny tiny country that has found more heart, more spirit, and more fight against this authoritarian, monstrous regime. That is Russia. And they have fought back and democracies around the world have supported them because Vladimir Putin is a clear and present danger to the democratic way of life. Enter dipshit orange face shits in his diaper moron Trump, who then gets bought by Elon Musk, who apparently has been colluding with Russia. And here's what we have. Here's what we have. We're sitting here on this Friday afternoon talking about Russian propaganda and Putin is able to humiliate his opponent in the Oval Office without even being there. Putin is not even in the United States of America right now. Think about how much power he has over Trump, all of Trump's cabinet, and over the United States of America right now. He's calling the shots from a very weak country right now. The GDP of Russia is the size of Spain's. Their military is completely diminished from this war. And we're bending our knee to this country that is in this horrible position of weakness. Why? Why are we doing that? Oh, because Donald Trump is compromised and has been compromised for years. And the Republicans are too big at titty baby crybaby pussies to do anything about it. And they run around and talk about family values and they run around and talk about immigrants, yet they let a South African come over here and wreck everything. And then they talk about family values. And then we have Trump and Musk who have all these baby mamas and all these kids, which I don't a about because I'm not a religious hypocrite, but all these triple Trumpers do. And every single tripper triple Trumper that free bases Tucker Carlson. And you think Russia is a good place to live. Good luck. It is a pile of shit. You have completely ruined this country because of your addiction to right wing media. And you're too intellectually lazy to just do a couple of extra searches to vet your information to find out, hmm. Why is Tucker saying this? Is this true? Is it true that Ukraine attacked Russia when everybody in the world has said it was the other way around for three years? Why is the narrative changing? Because you're too goddamn lazy and you don't care about the truth because the lies are just easier to believe. And you like to snack in that right wing media because it feeds your biases, your racism, your Christian nationalism, your warped sense of nationalism. It's just you guys, this is a complete nightmare. But I want it before we do some more comments during Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend's little thing about the suit where he's trying to be a big power player. He's a tough guy. Why aren't you wearing a suit? I mean, what a tough guy. This is Marco Rubio's face. Okay? Look at that. I mean, here's the thing about Marco Rubio. I understand with every molecule in me why they called him Little Marco. I get it. He is a weasel. He is a slime. He knows he's been to Ukraine. He was on the Foreign Intelligence Committee in the United States Senate. He knows exactly what's going on here, and he's too cowardice to say a word. There is no State Department. There's no State Department. There's no Department of Education. There's no FBI. There's no doj. All of this is controlled by. This is the pecking order. Vladimir Putin, Elon Musk. Everybody else is just obsequious to these maniacal, sociopathic dictators, and they have completely ruined our country. Completely. This is an alignment. It's an earth shattering seismic shift that we are aligning with the axis of evil. If you're a European right now and you're thinking of the axis of evil, you will now have to include the United States of America in that conversation. This is groundbreaking. This is humiliating for the office of the presidency. This is humiliating for every single person that voted for Trump. Any of the times, Any of the times that you were able to bend yourself morally to find space because you're, oh, I'm fiscally conservative, but so actually liberal off. This is what you got. All of the evidence was there from the jump since 2016. All of the evidence that this man is a disaster has been there all of this time. And because you're too lazy and you don't care about the truth, you'd rather munch on hate and munch on conspiracy theories. This is where we are right now. And it's just. This is horribly, horribly sad. Okay, let's do some more comments before I leave, you guys. I hate that pumps here. I hope that I'm. She's the fun one. I'm a little bit more serious sometimes. Okay. Rhonda says, absolutely hate the way they humiliated Zelensky. I am so embarrassed. My heart breaks for him. It's absolutely heartbreaking. But I think Rhonda, the ones who are humiliated for me when I watch that because I'm not lazy and I've researched facts and about this Russian propaganda machine is Trump and J.D. vance. I mean, they really looked. In my opinion, just because you speak loudly and just because you're saying you don't thank us enough. To me, that looks weak. They look like weak cowards to me. Okay, next. Ms. B says, hostage Rubio. No shit. He's got to be on the. He's got to be on the take. So I did some digging around a couple days ago about Marco Rubio, and at some point, I think the Russians, like in 2017, hacked into his computer. So they must have some shit. You know, Marco probably. I don't know, maybe he dabbled in some gay porn. I mean, who the fuck knows? But it would be much better just to say it instead of being like, embarrass yourself like that. Okay, Jennifer McKnight says, totally planned ambush. Most humiliate, humiliating display I have ever seen. Trump negotiations should never be filmed by the media. Too much ego. I completely agree. I think it was staged. I think it was an ambush. I think it was an order from Vladimir Putin. This has kgb, Kremlin fingerprints, thumbprints all over it. And think about it. He's only been president for a month and a half. Think about all the collusion prior to this for this to have happened. Like during Trump's first four years. He tried so hard to help Putin, but he was limited. All of those limitations and guardrails have been removed. So the collusion has been going on for a very, very long time. That much is clear. Okay, Blue Hawaii. All former presidents must stand together and call for Trump to leave. I completely agree. Where is the leadership opposing this? Where is the. The leadership in the United States? The opposition that says 91 1. House on fire. Vladimir Putin is attempting a coup. And here's the thing. So many in the Senate and House, they've seen a lot more shit than we have. I mean, they know exactly what's going on. I'm sure they've intercepted calls, hacked computers. Where? The United States of America. Of course they have intel on it. It's breathtaking to me that we don't have people calling for his impeachment immediately and impeach the entire Cabinet. Okay, next up. I knew the convicted felon was going to pull this shit on Zelinsky. Yeah. I mean, honestly, Maddie, it's with the way, if you. If you studied this relationship from 2016 to now, it's. You know that Putin was going to put him up to this, and Trump's so stupid and he has no morals, he would do it immediately. Okay. K. Pinker something. Pinkerton Lloyd. Ukraine President is a real man. Holding it like that. Dump advance or weak babies. I could not agree with you more. A couple more, Tracy. Says keep fighting us to get this and his cronies out. We have to. I mean, this, this, this lack of cohesive leadership right now, leading a charge to put pressure on Republicans to 25th Amendment. This situation is. I don't understand it, Olivia. Okay, this will be the last one. They call themselves alpha males. Lol. They look like a couple of lovers fighting over a man. Olivia, that is chef's kiss. Michelin stars. That's exactly what they are. This is some Brokeback Mountain, I can't quit you shit. Between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. And I believe, it is my opinion this is a coup from Vladimir Putin, who probably has Elon Musk compromised because the rumor has always been the richest person in the world is Vladimir Putin, that he has amassed massive, massive, massive wealth. And I just, I think that. I think the fix is in. I think they've been colluding and I think the fix has been in for a very, very, very long time. And if there is no American leadership that's going to stand up to this, then I, you know, I don't know how much longer the First Amendment lasts. Because if we're going to go ahead and just start aligning with the axis of evil right now, a month and a half in to Trump's second term, and we're going to rip up the Constitution and we're going to spout lies from the Kremlin, Russian propaganda, talking points being spoken in the Oval Office. It's, it's bananas. I mean, I just think the fix is in. And despite. There's gotta be some Hail Mary pass out there, but I'm not very hopeful. All right, that's been very uplifting. Thank you for joining me on this live. I'll be solo over the weekend. We pre recorded a show that's gonna drop today at 4 for IHEB news that pumps and I recorded yesterday afternoon. That'll drop at 4 Central. And then I'll see all of you guys solo for Saturday and Sunday so that Pumps can enjoy Las Vegas and have a break from all of this fuckery. Thank you guys for sticking with me on my maiden solo live. I appreciate you guys and I'll see you guys soon.
