News. Further confirmation that Donald Trump is a Russia slash Putin sympathizer. Yesterday in the United nations, there was a vote regarding Russia and their actions. Let me show it to you. The US Votes against the UN Resolution condemning Russia for the Ukraine war. Now, I ask you when all of the Western allies, all of NATO is voting in favor of this and the United States votes with Hungary, Belarus, China, all the dictator.

Ana Navarro
Oh, even China didn't vote for this.

Don Lemon
Even China didn't.

Ana Navarro
Even China set this out. Pumps. They voted with Iran, North Korea. Wow. Yeah. So, I mean, this is. This tells you everything you need to know. And this whole Trump Russia thing, from the Mueller report to before that, when Kevin McCarthy was talking to then speaker of the House Paul Ryan and they said, we think Trump is on Putin's payroll. And then this total bend over on the international global stage and lying, using Tucker Carlton's and the Kremlin's talking points to the Americans and completely lying that Ukraine started the war. And it's no surprise. So we have a compromised federal government right now, a compromised executive branch, and we're going to keep calling it out, but this is insanity. And all the triple Trumpers, you might think you want to live the way the Russians live, and you might think North Korea seems fun and you might think Iran seems cute. You're a dumbass. You're a total dumbass. This is devastating to our country and to the entire international order.

What struck me about it is you have all of these reports coming out. I've read different articles that, you know, Trump's a Russian asset and so. And so said this and this is what we know. I'm like, I don't have to read anything that tells me that Trump is aligned with Russia because I can look at his actions. His actions tell me all I need to know. Tulsi Gabbard in the intelligence. It's just one thing right after the other. But Mark Kelly, what I thought, Senator Mark Kelly said, I thought was worth US hearing, because I think it's so true and it makes a great point. Senator, what's your reaction to where the US Stands tonight on this war, which is obviously tougher on Ukraine than on Russia?
- [02:40]
Mark Kelly
Yeah, Anderson, it's shocking. You know that after 80 years, in a few days, Donald Trump just blew up the Western alliance. I mean, completely. And you have the Secretary of Defense on TV over this weekend talking about how this is a complicated situation. It's not complicated. It's very clear who the aggressor is. It's clear who the War criminal is. And this vote today into the within the UN where the United States of America is siding with the North Koreans and with Russia and Belarus. I mean, I, you know, even after this, you know, first month of this administration, I'm still kind of shocked of what happened over the last year, know, several days. And make no mistake, Anderson, this, this makes our country look weak and we are less safe because of it.

Ana Navarro
By the way.

Don Lemon
You know, it just when you think about what he's done to the military, what he's done on the international stage, I worry, is the US as strong as it used to be? Are we going to get in some type of conflict that we can't defend ourselves because we have incompetent people from top to bottom and we're siding with Russia. You've got Elon Musk, there's no question was talking to Putin for years. The Starlink incident with Ukraine during the Russia, Ukrainian war, like this is terrifying stuff. I'm literally alarmed, alarmed, alarmed.
- [04:05]
Ana Navarro
It is, I think, what's so devastating about all of this. And this is why Macron came over. And you see the Europeans forcefully meeting and talking about how they can help support Ukraine because Putin has ambitions to charge into all of Europe. And I think they have Donald Trump by the balls. His balls are in a vice grip. I think he is so incredibly compromised. I've never. This guy loves to take victory laps. He loves to talk about what a badass he is. Now he's picking fights with the governor of Maine, you know, because that's all he can really do because Musk and Putin won't allow him to do anything bigger than that. He can't defend the United States of America on the national stage because he's owned and compromised by Musk and Putin. And this is horrific. This is terribly sad. The United States of America voted with our adversaries at the UN and that is breathtaking.
- [05:15]
Don Lemon
It really is. And what I find interesting, this next comment from Trump regarding this issue. I have a lot to say about that. So let's play the clip rationale and.
- [05:23]
Anderson Cooper
Having us vote against the UN resolutions that Ukraine proposed and also the US I would rather not explain it now, but it's sort of self evident.
- [05:31]
Don Lemon
I think it is self evident. It is self evident that Putin is in control of the United States government through a Donald Trump, his useful idiot. It is absolutely self evident that this government will lay down for Putin. It's oligarchy, Putin masks. I don't know what is going on, but I know it is nefarious And I know it has real world implications, not just for the United States, but for Europe at large.
- [06:02]
Ana Navarro
It's very obvious. I mean, it is just. It is very, very obvious that this is a coup. And at first, look, you could think it was by Elon Musk, but it seems to be that the President of the United States has been compromised by Russia for the longest time. And I'm ready for the climax. Like, what is it? Do you have the PP tape? Let's roll it out. I mean, let's. Let's go. But I think it's even deeper than that. I think Trump is owned by them. I think that we all know he's a terrible businessman, as you always point out. He bankrupted a casino. I think the Russians have bailed him out. I think they have him compromised financially. I think they have him compromised with other, you know, probably provocative style, compromising material. And they own him. And when you see him, his posture, sitting next to Macron, how he slumped over, how emasculated this man looks, and when you see him, when Elon Musk is dominating him in the Oval Office, standing up over him with a kid on his shoulders when the kid wasn't wiping the boogers on the desk, and he slumped over and sitting there, this man is the weakest American president we have ever seen. And this. This is terrifying. And I don't know what can be done, but I do know that I want the world to know that tens of millions of Americans see what you are seeing. And we do not want to lose our alliances with Western democracies and other, you know, peacemaking countries around the world. This is horrifying for us to watch that Donald Trump, the President of the United States, is kissing ass to a human rights violator, a thug, you know, voting with North Korea. But this shouldn't be that big of a surprise. This man said during his first term that he was in love with Kim Jong Un. They wrote each other love letters. I mean, so I really just have such disdain for any triple Trumper because you have agency over the news that you get. And if you just traffic in all this, people are getting fired. People that just want to live their lives and have a stable job. I was just at the hair salon this morning. The woman sitting next to me, attorney fired for the. From the faa.

Don Lemon
I've heard.

Ana Navarro
It's just. It's widespread.
- [08:21]
Don Lemon
Well, the last clip I want to leave you with is self evident because Donald Trump, who has called Zelensky a dictator, refuses to call Putin a dictator, which we all know Putin is a dictator, a war criminal, murderer, all the things. Here we go.
- [08:38]
Anderson Cooper
Zelensky, a dictator. Would you use the same words regarding Putin? I don't use those words lightly. I think that we're going to see how it all works out. Let's see what happens. I think we have a chance of a really good settlement between various countries. And, you know, you're talking about Europe and you're talking about Ukraine as part of that whole situation. The other side has a lot of support also. So let's see how it all works out. It might work out. Look, you can never make up lives. The one thing you can, you can make up the money, but you can't make up the lives. A lot of lives lost. I think probably a lot more lives than people are talking about. It's been.
- [09:12]
Don Lemon
Okay, that's enough. So he, he will run around and call Zielinski a dictator, but he doesn't use that word lightly when it comes to Putin. And he has absolutely no respect for anything but money. He's sitting there saying a lot of lives were lost. He doesn't give a. He doesn't give a. That unprovoked Russia went in and tried to take over a sovereign nation. He doesn't care because Putin is his bedfellow. And it is as obvious to me as the nose. It is obvious to me as the nose on my face.
- [09:44]
Ana Navarro
Also, it's insulting to all of our intelligence that he would say that he's so worried about lives lost when he is talking about relocating all Palestinians and developing. Developing that into condominiums. Never, not one time has he ever expressed the war crimes from Benjamin Netanyahu to Palestine. Not one time has he ever expressed that he wants to cherry pick. When he cares about lives, was he. What he cares about are Russian lives. Because Putin cares about that. Because Putin has ambitions to dominate and control the United States of America. And everybody needs to wake up.

Don Lemon
Completely agree. Stick with us for more updates.
