  Speaker 2: Are you okay, Love?

• 0:18
  Speaker 1: any more money for lunch. My look has to change.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Look whatever it is, I'm here, just look on fine.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I'm in trouble. Read between the lines to spot the
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: signs of gambling. Teenage gambling doubles the risk of problem
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: gambling in adulthood. Get support at your AI dot i
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: e from the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: I do want to talk to the Great Peter King
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: a lot to talk about beating I want to start
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: not with Turkey, Josh Yet or even Iran. I want
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: to start with Russia Ukraine because it looks like Putin
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: although you know, you know he's gonna sit down with
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Olenski today President Trump and he says, I'm want to
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: go to Ukraine. It looks like Putin isn't letting up,
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: not even a little. I mean he's attacked keyep now
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: the you know, the capital twice in the last six days.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: So what really is going on with Ukraine.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: Russia said, any what's going on now? Sins been gone
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: on all along. Putin wants to take over Ukraine. This
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: is his first step in moving toward Europe. He's already
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: making friends toward Poland, to a Latvia and Estonia. And
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: this sends a bad signal around the world if we
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: don't help Zelenski and Europe. Europe is doing a good job.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: Europe is put in twice as much support to Ukraine
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: as we have, and we're supposed to be the leader
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: of the free world. So I think that and Putin
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: has also been fools of us, so he gets red
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Cormon treatment. President goes fall Aska to meet him, and
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: then Putin never ever filos form what he's supposed to do.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: I think Putin's going to play us as long as
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: he can. And I think it's important that the President
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: did say today we're going to somehow provide more I
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: guess anti mistle defenses patriot defenses to Ukraine, or we
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: allow them to perfect them on their own. If that
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: goes ahead, that's going to be a step. In the meantime,
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: a lot of people are being killed, and when the
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: President says so many people are being killed, and he says,
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: like two kids in the school, yeard, No, I mean
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: Solski is basically whether he's perfect or not, he's fighting
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: one of the most courageous fights ever. But he was
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: offered free passage out of the country four and a
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: half years ago and he stayed there. And right now
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Russia is losing the war. They've lost more than twice
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: as many people as Ukraine has, and they're also now
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: really suffering losses in Crimea. So again though, but Ukraine
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: can do this forever. And the whole idea though, starting
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: eighty years ago dealing with Russia, is Russia could conquer
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: any one country if you let them do it long enough.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: And that's why you have United alliances against them, and
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: why I think it's important for you keep Joeing instilling
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: in the United States to get more involved in providing
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: weapons to Ukraine, at least defensive weapons of nothing else.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because there is a billing out there that we're
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: going to be more I don't want to say in
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: tow in line with Russia, but if we do end
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: this war, it's because we're going to be better to
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Russia than Ukraine.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Can you see that?
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I would hope that's not true. I mean, to me,
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: what's important here is that Russia is the aggressia. Russia
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: is losing the war. They bring in troops from Africa
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: and North Korea to fight this battle, and that's how
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: bad they are, how many they getting hit. But they
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: again do with the numbers. So if this goes on forever,
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Russia ultimately win. They can wear down Ukraine. And I
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: think the president and they're talking about a deal. This
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: is not real estate. Get Wikkop out of there, send
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: them home. This is not a real estate deal we're
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: talking about. We're talking about battle for civilization here and Russia.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: This isn't The President always talks about Armenia and Iszibijah
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: and how he helped settle out. That was a border
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: skirmish going on for thirty years. There was no great
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: loss of life, and that was just you know, where
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: do you draw the line between your two countries. But
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: with Russia and Ukraine, Russia wants to take Ukraine over.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: That's what it comes down to, as simple as that
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Ukraine is a separate culture, a separate country. We made
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: commitments to them in the nineteen nineties. They gave up
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: their nuclear weapons and a return for that from a
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: pledge for the United States and Europe that we would
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: stand with them if they were invaded. And so far
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: we are not living up to our end of us.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: You know, you talk about rolling out the red carpet
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: for Putin, it looks to me like, even though we
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: are the visitors in Turkey, it looks like President Trump
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: and America is rolling out the red carpet for Erdowan.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: You've heard all my guests today, You've heard the tweets
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: are red on the air. What are your thoughts about that.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: I think Erwin is a terrible person, and it seems
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: I mean, the President says good things about Putin, now
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: he says one as a friend. This guy is vicious.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: He's a brutal thug, and it's only what he does
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: in his own country. But again, he has threatened to
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: destroy Israel. Israel is our closest ally in the Middle East,
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: maybe our closest ally around the world. He keeps this up.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: I don't see what one is do to earn our
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: trust at all. He's been against us for years and
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: again just what he's done to his people. Now the
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: NBA basketball player came and go back and came and
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: travel to Europe because there's warrants out for him from Turkey.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: I mean, this is a bad guy. And it's one
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: thing if the president wants to say, listen, we made
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: alliances with Stalin during World War Two. You can do
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: things out of necessity, but don't sit there and say
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: what a good man he is, what a good friend
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: he is, how I trust him, how I love him,
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: all that stuff. The same way he talks about g
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: and Putin. I mean, you know these are dictator mom,
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: Donnie Well, I'm a dommia. That's maybe the worst of all.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: In the meantime, he's talking about attacking Denmark, which has
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: been a great houry. They had a higher picapita casually
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: rate in Afghanistan than we did and that wasn't their war,
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: that was our war. They got involved and I was
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: talking about taking Greenland from them when that could be
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: easily worked out. So it's that type of heavy handed
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: talk against our allies and love that goes to our enemies.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: It is odd, you know.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: That was part of the reason why I think he
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: was successful the first time around, was that he would
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: do that.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: And it's not because he liked them.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: But clearly President Trump believes that you keep your enemies closer.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Right, But in the first term, he would do that.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: He would, you know, every once in a while, says
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: something nice, but then he come back and punch him
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: in the base, whether it was a little rocketman in
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: North Korea or Putin or g This time, it seems
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: like he doesn't get to that point where he gets
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: angry with people that are clearly our enemies. They become
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: our friends because they literally rolled out a red carpet
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: once the plane lands. So I know he's used to
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: doing this Trump, and he's had success, right, he makes
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: his enemies closer. They believe that it's not all that bad,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: and he gets stuff done. But maybe, just maybe it's
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: a bit much this time around.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it is. On the first term, he
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: would say good things about Putin, but then the fact
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: is we destroyed russ true in Syria. You know, the
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: troops are failiar with Russia, they're in Seria. We destroyed them,
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: wiped them out, and that was done quietly but effectively. So,
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: I mean he was able to say one thing and
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: do another. This time he's saying one thing, keeps doing it.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: I mean how many times is he going to say
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: he had a good telephone conversation with Putin and then
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: it turns out that he goes nowhere Putin just to me.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: He's making fools out of us.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: All the time, not just Puttin.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: How many times has he told us that in the
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: last couple of months that he's had good conversations with
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: people in Iran? And Kushner and wit Korp had a
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: good meeting last week and JD. Bans had to you know,
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: how to you know, the phone call progressed and you know,
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: and you can actually work with these people, unlike the
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: first two or three regimes. And it comes out today
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: and says, now the scum, they're losers, their low lives.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Can't work with them. I mean, you keep doing this
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: back and forth for months now, and you know, you
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: got the American people their heads on a swivel.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: What's the real story.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: Yes, the American people to get them back on his side.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: And he should because I totally support what he's trying
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: to do in Iran. You can't you can't be saying
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: you did last week. Needs you good people? Now we
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: have good people we can work with in Iran. These
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: are the same low lifes that were there all along,
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: maybe just a different generation, but they're the same type.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: Say these are evil ideal lives or are out to destroy
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: the United States, and Western civilization is your first and
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: all the rest of us after that. And that's why
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: again the fact that the president even on the wind
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: comes by net Yahoo. I'm the boss that Yahoo has
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: to know that. You don't talk that way about an ally.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: You say, we're in this together. Whatever differences we have,
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: we're going to work out because we have a common enemy.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: Don't attack your allies, don't attack your friends. And then say, well,
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: we say that basically he's against net Yahoo, that he's
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: saying that the new leaders and Iran and the good people
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: now today says this come and also we can't be
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: saying that how we've won the war. You know, the
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: fact is, so long as Iran has the right to
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: control the straits of the Moves and basically that great
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: deal of wid Copp and those guys worked out. You
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: can interpret the language in a way that a random
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: what they were doing there was double meeting and all
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: the language right straight for a moves they're interpreting to
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: say they can control them. So we set ourselves up
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: for that. We can't do any You can't deal with
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: these people, and we have to. I don't know why
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: we didn't, and I'm not trying to be one day
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: morning quarterback, but going into this, why we didn't have
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: arrangements so we could control the streets of a moose
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: because that's the only weapon they have. We can say anyway,
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: all their weapons all together, but as long as they
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: can control the state of a moves, they control the
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: world economy. And that gives them basically bullets the head
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: guns the heads of everybody. So we have to we
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: have to get that straighten out. And again with NATO
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: can drive you crazy. The fact is that we had
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: worked with them in the beginning, we would have had
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: their mind sweepers. They have better mind sweeping Luigo and
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: that could have been there. So instead of attacking Maloney
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: in Italy and everything, work do that behind the scenes,
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: but use them. That's what we've done in the past,
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: and I was there with Bill Clinton. We had trouble
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: with NATO all the time. We're had trouble, but you're
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: working at Reagan had a lot of trouble with Margaret Thatcher,
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: but somehow you find a way to work it, use them,
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: don't just and help them and then say good things
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: about ear it a.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: One excellent job, Pete. That's why you're here.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: You're great and you got all those great references you
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: could date back to all those presidents who served in
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Congress for a long time, just about four decades. So
• 10:21
