Trump Lifting Sanctions On Russia Makes OneLegUpAlex Question His Agenda 10-18-26 · OneLegUpAlex Media

  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett. Alright, so, it's Sunday, and
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: normally I used to have the show, the Sunday Pod,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: which was covering news and all that, and there is
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: some news this Sunday. Because when the New York Post
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: goes after you for aligning with Russia, you know you
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: done screwed up. when the Post is criticizing President Trump
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: for aligning with Putin. And did you know, after they
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: waived the sanctions on Russia, Zelensky reported that Russia targeted
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: the energy sector with over 320 drones, missiles, and munitions. Overnight,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Ukraine responded with a thousand different drones and all that
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: across St. Petersburg. as they struck St. Petersburg with over 1,000 drones. Look,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: this war is still going on. And the drastic mistakes
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: that are being made, whether it was from saying Zelensky
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: should be ousted to now saying... waving sanctions on Russia
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: because of oil. And then the five-day disaster with Katie
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Zachariah with just days to go before the midterms. It's inexcusable.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: And I start to believe that President Trump, in the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: second term, is operating under his own agenda and not
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: as much the agenda for the American people in some respects.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Because if he were operating under the agenda for the
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: American people, he would say, no, we're not waiving sanctions
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: on Russia. He would, I get diplomacy and all that,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: but this is different. This is an optics move that
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: shows Russia... We're on their side. And we shouldn't be.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: And we shouldn't be. Ukraine is the ally here. So
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: when the New York Post... Puts you on the front page...
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: As screwing up... You done messed up. And... I don't
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: care if this diesel... exports, imports, it's the lower gas
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: prices here. That's because the other war has not ended yet.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: That's because the other war, the Iran war has not
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: ended yet. Because it's like we attacked the Supreme Leader
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: and killed him, and I agree with that. That was
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: cutting the head off of the beast, of that regime.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: But when you realize there was no plan to it,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: That's alarming. So 18 days away, instead of highlighting how
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: disastrous the left's candidates are and how anti-American and how
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: anti-Israel and how anti-value system they are, we're stuck now
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: dealing with wave sanctions on Ukraine, on Russia, on We're
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: stuck now with this war. And did you see, I
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: saw this the other day, that Iran is continually bombing
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Did you hear about this?
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Iran blows up, uh, Well, the headline is Hormuz ship
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: attacks hit high record as Iran escalates strikes with little U.S. response.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Where is the focus of this administration? We are 18
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: days away from giving up the country to a Democratic
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Party that's not even Democratic. They're just four far left.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: And pure hatred. But you have to call out where
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: we're at right now. Because if Trump's going to waive
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: sanctions and he's going to not respond when Iran continues
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: to strike ships in the harbors, it questions what's the
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: agenda here. What is the agenda of President Trump that
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: he's doing all this? It's a bad look. It's a
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: bad look. Optically, it's a bad look. Politically, and as
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: far as being an American president, it's just a bad look.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: And I think I'm getting fed up because, you know,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I think we should all support the fact that he
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: killed the Regime... You know, the Ayatollah. But we can
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: criticize there was no backup plan. We can criticize that
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: this war is not over yet. We can criticize that
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: this feels like 20 years ago when they said mission
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: accomplished when really we're just dragging on a war. In Iraq.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Which he criticized on the campaign trail against Brother Jed.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: By the way. So... As we look forward to Giants
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: football today, it's a cooler day out. I might be
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: at Blue Haven East. We'll have to see. And as
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: we look forward to year 35 and the banner raising
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday, the 20th of October, I have to say
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: with just days away from the midterms, this agenda is
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: not the American agenda Americans voted for back in twenty
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: twenty four. And I think people are seeing it. I
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: think the GOP is seeing that he has separated himself
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: more from everyday Americans than before. I wanted to believe
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: he was doing the right thing by economically suffocating Russia
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and economically suffocating Iran. But this sanctions waving is beyond
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the pale. We cannot show weakness. This is what the
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: whole reason Trump got elected in the second time is
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: because the Biden administration was weak against these adversaries. This
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: is about as bad as the small incursion. Let me
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: make that comparison. Trump waiving sanctions is about as bad
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: as when Biden told us There's a small incursion. And
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: they did nothing about it. And now we're in a
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: war for two plus years, three, four plus years. For
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: what reason? This could have been avoided. See, Trump came
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: in because he wasn't going to play nice with the adversary,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I thought. But now all of a sudden he's playing
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: nice with Iran. He's playing nice with Russia. Unless he
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: has a long game here, it doesn't look good. And
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: this agenda, whatever it is, and this disarray is going
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: to cost the GOP the midterms. It's going to cost
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: us a common sense Senate and House. And I hate
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: to say it could cost us America, but if the
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: fact that there was a shooting here in New York
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: City on the subway yesterday is any indication... Those are
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the kinds of elected officials who will excuse crime could
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: be voted in. I wish these two wars were done
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: already because it would highlight how bad the left's candidates
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: are for America. But no, because these wars are still
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: going on, the Democrats are alive and being taken over
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: by the far left Hochul is basically compromised by Mamdani.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: And Mamdani's in the crosshairs because he doesn't want to
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: get rid of Tisch, but his base is calling to
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: get rid of Tisch. And God forbid we lose Jess
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Tisch as commissioner, we're screwed. We are screwed if he
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: puts in someone more radical. Or radical at all. Because
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: she is about as fair-minded, about as... strong, about as tough,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: about as law-minded, law-driven as can be. And she will
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: protect us. He cannot let go of her. He cannot
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: cede to his base and let go of Jessica Tisch.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: He better not anyways. But these wars are the distraction
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: the left needed. Because they can just use it as
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: fodder and reasons to vote for them and not the GOP.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: And I think it's time Somebody get in Trump's ear
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: and say, what the hell are you doing? What the
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: F are you doing? Sanctioning Russia, lifting sanctions off Russia.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Are you nuts in an election year? Where you say
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: you're not on the ballot, but you are because whatever
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: you do, it reflects the entire party. This will be
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: the dagger that brings them midterm victory. And I think
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: that's sad because there was an opportunity for a couple
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: years before the midterms to show that America was back.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: America was prominent again. America wasn't going to let a
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: small incursion happen. America wasn't going to have a terrible
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: withdrawal like it did in 2021. America wasn't going to
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: be disorganized like it seemed to be under the Biden administration.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I would go far to say, and under the Trump administration,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: another October 7th would not happen. But the waving of
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: sanctions sends a message to our enemies that we are
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: standing with our enemies themselves. It makes us look weak. So, yeah,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: beyond the small incursion and doing nothing about it, you
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: could almost argue this is about as bad as the
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: withdrawal from Afghanistan. You know why? Because it allowed and
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: empowered Russia and empowers them to do whatever the F
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: they want. And it's like we're withdrawing from Ukraine. That's
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: what it feels like. We've been withdrawing from them little
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: by little, it seems like, telling Zelensky he should be ousted.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Now this. Apparently we cut off intel to them. And
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: I get it. There's questions on how Zelensky used the money. Okay,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I understand that. But that is second tier. That's not important.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: What's important is that we help Ukraine win the war
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: with Russia. Because if Russia wins this frickin' thing... You
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: don't think Taiwan will be taken over by China any
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: day now? You don't think North Korea is going to
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: see this and say, oh, we could be activated again?
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: You don't think Iran is going to see this and say, okay,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: we can attack Israel because he may not do anything.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: They're already attacking ships in the Strait of Hormuz. And
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: he's doing nothing about it. He's doing nothing about it. So, yes...
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the lifting of the sanctions is about as bad as
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the withdrawal from Afghanistan five years ago is about as
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: bad as letting COVID, you know, happen in the way
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: that he did without the, you know, urging people to
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: mask up or without urging people to get the shot.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Like there was a whole thing there. And Pfizer didn't
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: play a part, play a, play their part because they
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: rolled out the vaccination after Biden was elected, which was
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: kind of nonsense. I think that was election interference. I'll
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: always say that. But this moment in Trump's presidencies, one
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: and two, is a flip, a flub up. He's thought
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: about selling Yosemite land, Sam, Yosemite, Sam, Yosemite Park land.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: He's thought about demolishing or renovating the Kennedy Center, which
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: is apparently shut down now because they didn't put his
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: name on it. Now he's saying it's Russia. We've got
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: these wars going on. And meanwhile, the far left is
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: getting away with siding with a podcaster who said America
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: deserved 9-11. They are tied to Hassan Piker and nobody
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: bats an eye because they aren't paying attention to that.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Al-Said can distance himself from that guy all he wants,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: but he's still connected to him. Mamdani can disconnect himself
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: from Piker, but he was on the damn show during
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: the election last year. I'm frustrated because whether I, whether
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: or not, and clearly I want the GOP to keep
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: that house incentive because I think it would keep us stable,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: but whether or not I wanted that or not, I'm
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: more pissed off that who is running in these midterms
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: is not being highlighted enough because of dumb moves by Trump.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Dumb moves by Trump. To put in a girl, and look,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: she might be a sweet person, great person, but to
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: put in someone who was poorly background checked as press
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: secretary and then five days later fire her, disorganization. And
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: then to go further and say, We're going to sanction,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: we're going to remove the sanctions from Russia? After all
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: we've seen this year? And all the foul that the
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Democrats already have? For goodness sakes, the Department of War
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Secretary Hegseth was about to have impeachment articles filed against him.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: And again, under it all, is a far-left takeover that
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: we cannot afford in this country. You think PETA terror
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: attacks are going to happen just in New York? No,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: it's going to happen all over the place. But they
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: don't want you to know that because, oh my God,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Trump waived sanctions. And that's what they're going to fixate
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: on because it helps the Democrats further their point. So yeah,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I'm pissed off. Yeah, I think Trump's stepping on it
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: and in it. this midterm cycle. And it's almost like,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: what agenda is he on on the whole Greenland deal?
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: What agenda is he on that's preventing him from seeing
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: the bigger picture here of how it's going to affect
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: district by district in the Republican, in the midterms? It's
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: like he's not seeing that He's only having a tunnel
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: vision to what he believes is right or his agenda,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: or maybe he feels that getting gas and diesel from
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Russia is going to help lower the gas prices. It's
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: a very, very backdoor way to do it. And then
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: it makes us look weak in the process because you're
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: not standing with Ukraine, you're standing with Russia. You yourself,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: President Trump, not the country, but you yourself. Is that
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: the message you really want to send 17, 18 days
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: out of midterms? That the president of the United States
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: is standing with the enemy? The president of the United
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: States is sitting back and figuring out what press secretary
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: to have as Iran keeps bombing tankers in the Strait
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: of Hormuz, escalating, and we're not doing anything about it?
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: You were elected to do the job, President Trump, You
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: were elected to literally be stronger than Biden and Kamala was.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Kamala was. And you are failing. Right now you're failing.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: And I hope that maybe, just maybe, You'll hear enough
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: outcry from the GOP and from independents and from the
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: polls and say, okay, we'll put the sanctions back on.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: We've got to stand with Ukraine. We've got to look
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: tougher on Iran. We've got to look tougher. That was
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: the whole point we elected, the country elected you. To
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: look tougher on our enemies. To disallow another incursion of
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: another country. To disallow... to make things look organized and
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: with days to go before the midterms, the Trump presidency
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: is officially falling apart. And that's my message at One
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Leg of Alex Media.
