I'd like to remind you that in 2022, during the last contact with the previous administration, I tried to convince my previous American colleague the situation should not be brought to the point of no return when it would come to hostilities. And I said it quite directly back then that it's a big mistake today when President Trump saying that if he was the president back then, there will be no war. And I'm quite sure that it would indeed be so. I can confirm that. I think that overall, me and President Trump have built a very good businesslike and trustworthy contact and have every reason to believe that moving down this path we can come, and the sooner the better. To the end of the conflict in Ukraine. Thank you.

President Donald Trump has really ramped up the. The sticks, not just the carrots going in. Picking a fight with India, that is major was a lesser covered thing. We didn't even talk about on the show very much. President Trump said, india, if you keep on buying Russian oil, we're done. That was such a smart prerequisite going into the meeting. Now, mind you, a lot of these meetings is a lot of guesswork. But before we go even deeper and the media is calling it a failure and all this, guys, sometimes this takes multiple meetings. Sometimes you gotta get in the room multiple times. And the fact that this did not blow up, it is a success. Just the fact that Putin flew across Asia to come to Alaska. He did not have to do that. This meeting was not in Belarus. Typically, this would be like, you gotta fly to Minsk or, oh, you gotta fly to Lithuania. You gotta fly to Hungary or some Eastern European country or fly to Abu Dhabi. We'll meet in the middle. No, you met on the turf of the United States of America. He entered American airspace for the first time in multiple years. I want you to listen to all of Donald Trump's comments here as they were given in the press conference. This is unedited. It's about 3 and a half minutes long. This is President Donald Trump's entire remarks. Ply cut 248.

B (11:49)

Well, thank you very much, Mr. President. That was very profound. And I will say that I believe we had a very productive meeting. There were many, many points that we agreed on. Most of them I would say. A couple of big ones that we haven't quite got there, but we've made some headway. So there's no deal until there's a deal. I will call up NATO in a little While I will call up the various people that I think are appropriate, and I'll, of course, call up President Zelensky and tell him about today's meeting, it's ultimately up to them. They're going to have to agree with what Marco and Steve and some of the great people from the Trump administration who've come here, Scott and John Ratcliffe, thank you very much. But we have some of our really great leaders. They've been doing a phenomenal job. We also have some tremendous Russian business representatives here, and I think, you know, everybody wants to deal with us. We've become the hottest country anywhere in the world in a very short period of time, and we look forward to that. We look forward to dealing. We're going to try and get this over with. We really made some great progress today. I've always had a fantastic relationship with President Putin, with Vladimir. We had many, many tough meetings, good meetings. We were interfered with by the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. That made it a little bit tougher to deal with, but he understood it. I think he's probably seen things like that during the course of his career. He's seen. He's seen it all. But we had to put up with the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. He knew it was a hoax, and I knew it was a hoax. But what was done was very criminal. But it made it harder for us to deal as a country in terms of the business and all of the things that we'd like to have dealt with. But we'll have a good chance when this is over. So just to put it very quickly, I'm going to start making a few phone calls and tell them what happened. But we had an extremely productive meeting, and many points were agreed to. There are just a very few that are left. Some are not that significant. One is probably the most significant. But we have a very good chance of getting there. We didn't get there, but we have a very good chance of getting there. I would like to thank President Putin and his entire team, whose faces, who I know in many cases otherwise. Other than that, whose. Whose faces I get to see all the time in the newspapers. You're very. You're almost as famous as the boss, but especially this one right over here. But we had some good meetings over the years, right? Good, productive meetings over the years, and we hope to have that in the future. But let's do the most productive one right now. We're going to stop, really, five, six, seven thousand thousands of people a week from being killed. And President Putin wants to see that as Much as I do. So again, Mr. President, I'd like to thank you very much and we'll speak to you very soon and probably see you again very soon. Thank you very much, Vladimir.

A (15:01)

Next time in Moscow.

B (15:03)

Oh, that's an interesting one. I don't know, I'll get a little heat on that one, but I, I could see it possibly happening. Thank you very much, Vladimir and thank you all. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much.

A (15:18)

Now there's a couple takeaways there. Number one, do you notice they didn't take any questions. That's important. Cuz they wanted to maintain the narrative. This is high stakes diplomacy and honestly they're not there yet, but they're making progress. So why take questions that could potentially jeopardize the very important framing of this? But number I want to also dive deep into something some people said. Oh, there's Donald Trump talking about the Russia hoax again. No understand our entire foreign policy was polluted and corrupted by the, the fake Russia, Russia hoax. This war likely would not have happened if it was not for the fake Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. And also the fact that President Donald Trump was spied on, lied about and then was impeached. All around the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, it all kind of comes full circle. Comes full circle where he's now standing with Vladimir Putin. Now understand the second component of this, which is that I'll see you in Moscow. What was President Trump's instinct there? Oh, I'll get a lot of heat with that. But that might sounds like a good idea, honestly, it is a good idea. You should go to Moscow. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, I believe Ronald Reagan actually visited Russia. I could be mistaken in my memory, I'm thinking of a picture of it might have been Nixon. Anyways, the point is that why would we be afraid of an American President going to Moscow now? Putin came to us and by the way, could be a little bit of a carrot. Hey, hey. You end this war, Vladimir. Yeah, Reagan did go to Moscow. I was right. We can put that picture up there. Yeah, Reagan went to Moscow during the height of the Cold War, by the way. So think about it. Fine, Vlad, I'll go to Moscow once the war ends and I'll lift some of these sanctions and you won't have as many bread lines worrying about in your rural districts because that would be a big power move for Putin. But don't just throw it. Yeah, that's it right there. That's. I think it's Gorbachev and Reagan right in front of the Kremlin. You know, one of the biggest lies being sold to American people right now is that you're in control of your money, especially when it comes to crypto. But the truth, most of these so called crypto platforms are just banks in disguise, fully capable of freezing your assets the moment some bureaucrat makes a phone call. That is not what Bitcoin was built for. That's why I use Bitcoin.com I just did a major transaction on it. They offer a self custodial wallet, which means you hold the keys, you control your assets. No one can touch your crypto. Not the IRS or not a rogue bank, not some three letter agency that thinks it knows better than you do. This is how it was intended by the original creators of Bitcoin. Peer to peer money. Free from centralized control, free from surveillance and free from arbitrary seizure. So if you're serious about financial sovereignty, go to Bitcoin.com, set up your wallet, take back control. Because if you don't hold the keys, you don't own your money. Bitcoin, Bitcoin.com Freedom starts here. The deeper component of all this though is that it's. Both parties did not have to be doing this. They did not have to be doing this. But the media did not like this. Of course not. Let's play a piece of tape here. This is from Jake Tapper. Not. Have a very good day. Where's Jake and Kaitlan Collins play cut 252. And I'm wondering if you think Donald Trump leaves this high stakes summit where nothing was achieved, angry and likely to end, to bring in more sanctions. You know, Jake, the President didn't seem angry when he came out here. They were going into this summit.

C (18:40)

Aides were setting expectations low in recent days because they were fearful that they were not actually going to reach a ceasefire while on the ground here in Anchorage. And so obviously though, the President himself made clear what he wanted and it was that ceasefire. He did not get that ceasefire.

A (18:54)

Okay, Dylan Mulvaney is completely misleading the audience here. So listen this. And Jake Tapper says, oh my goodness, nothing's achieved. That sounds like something of someone who's never run a business. By the way, how does Kaitlan Collins know any of that? There was no information released. Were you in the room? Did you bug the room? That is a complete misleading of the narrative. You know why? They're mad that this meeting happened in the first place. So anything that they say should be completely and totally discredited. Here's John Bolton, who of course is never missing an opportunity to try to heat up tensions towards another thermonuclear conflict. Play cut 253.

B (19:30)

Putin achieved most of what he wanted.

A (19:33)

Trump achieved very little. And I will say one other thing. I thought Trump looked very tired up there. I mean, very tired, not disappointed tired. And we'll have to reflect on what that means. Okay, first of all, Trump did not look tired. Second of all, he just flew six hours across the American continent to go meet with Vladimir Putin and then he has to go fly six hours back. So how about, let's just sit one out of Donald Trump looked really, really tired. Donald Trump always said this meeting would lead to a more important meeting. This is a, this was a sequencing meeting. And yeah, I mean, Kaitlan Collins, she should go be a umpire for Major League Baseball because she just called a strike when it was a ball. Listen, the other component of this I want to play a little bit of the Sean Hannity interview is that President Donald Trump is calling the shots. President Donald Trump is framing this in a way that would be good for America. And Sean Hannity made this point. I want to play this here. We do not have to be involved in this. This is a war where 7,000 people are unnecessarily dying. Every single week. Every single week, 7,000 people are dying. Let's play cut 257.

B (20:42)

In your press conference, you talked about a lot of things that you agreed on and maybe one big issue you don't agree on. Are you prepared to go public with that? No, I'd rather not. I guess somebody is going to go public with it. They'll figure it out. But no, I don't want to do that. I want to see if we can get it done. You know, it's still, it's not a done deal at all. And Ukraine has to agree. I mean, you know, President Zelensky has to agree. But it's a terrible war where he's losing a lot and both of them are, and hopefully it can get completed. That'll be a great achievement for them. Forget about me for them. And you'll save 7,000 lives a week. That's a lot.

A (21:24)

Did you ever hear Joe Biden talk about just the human cost of this? 364,000 people approximately dying a year in this. So they all attack Donald Trump's moral character. I never heard Kamala Harris or Joe Biden say there's an unnecessary amount of killing fields happening in Ukraine and Russia. Cuz they're all just cannon fodder to them to the industrial war project. It's all just cannon fodder for whatever aim or ambition that the great American empire wants to push. This is President Donald Trump saying that, number one, is to save lives. And you can call Donald Trump a lot of different names and attack. Oh, he's not moral. Sorry. This is the most moral thing that someone can do. Blessed are the peacemakers that is bigger than you to go out of your way, to go stake your reputation, too. There's a lot of risk involved. This thing could have been a disaster and it wasn't. It was a success. This thing could have been catastrophic. That kind of a risk to put it all on the line for what? What is the upside? Just to save lives. And I hope Donald Trump gets remembered in the history books for a lot of things, but he has a good heart. He looks at these pictures of the killing field. He says, what can I do to fix it? Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, they accelerated the war. They had an opportunity to end the war in Istanbul and they decided not to do it. You had Tony Blinken, you had Boris Johnson go in there, led by the Central Intelligence Agency and the US State Department, and they blew up a ceasefire that would have happened 10 days into the war. And now probably 600,000 people are dead and millions of people are displaced. So what does Donald Trump have to benefit from this? Only thing that Donald Trump has a reward is that he can say, you know what? There's a young man that can now start a family right now in Russia because of what I did. And that matters, because that person is made in the image of God. You know what? There's a young man in Ukraine that can start a family. And they shouldn't just be killing themselves over a mile here or a mile there.

B (23:12)

Play cut258 and you're willing to expend political capital. All of the conflicts that I mentioned, including this one, this does not impact the United States as much as it does our allies in Europe. It's true. The Middle east, when you involve. When we get involved in the Middle East. But you're doing it anyway. Now, why is it to save lives, you want to save the world? Number one, to save lives in all cases, because wars are wars, and number two is everything else. Wars are very bad. And if you can avoid them. And I. I seem to have an ability to end them.

A (23:48)

I seem to have an ability to end them. And he's exactly right. Let me say this in summary. The takeaways, honestly, we're still trying to find out the specifics. However, the big takeaway is that President Donald Trump cares about the humanity of the people of Russia and Ukraine. He cares about American strength. He's not an isolationist. And you saw as that broad display. President Trump does not have me doing this. He could happily just keep on sending missiles and let people kill themselves, but he does not view the world that way. And honestly, we as Americans should not view other human beings that way. Trump said going in, if he came out with Putin by his side and talking to the press, that would be progress and a win. We're gonna keep our eyes very close on this, everybody. There's a lot more takeaways and a lot more that we're gonna talk about it. Vladimir Putin flew across Asia because Donald Trump commanded force, force towards peace, force and power towards an inevitable conclusion. Thanks so much for listening, everybody. Email us.
