  Speaker 1: We're going to find out whether or not he's tapping
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: us along or not, and if he is, we'll respond
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: a little bit differently, but it'll take about a week
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: and a half two weeks.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: President Trump's signaled today that his patients with Vladimir Putin
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: is running thin, and a decision about how to deal
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: with Russia's handling of Ukraine peace talks could come in
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: two weeks. The nightcap is still here, all right, Max,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: walk us through your take on this, because we're not
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: currently doing anything to help Ukraine. So that's the biggest
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: hookup to Putin right there?
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Sure, sure, yeah? He negotiated in reverse?
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Here, what is a negotiation reverse?
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Nothing like? He stopped any and all military weapons transfers
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: to the Ukrainian military, stopped intelligence sharing, stopped targeting support
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: and assistance, alienated the Ukrainian leadership, publicly embarrassed them, and
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: then turned around and thought that he had leverage with
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin. It made zero sense. So what did Putin do?
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Like the XKGB agent he is, he sought to try
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: to stroke Donald's ego and at the same hand push
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: a military offensive. And what you see with Donald Trump's
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: standing there is he's almost utterly confused because he was
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: rendered ineffective and he looks helpless on the national stage.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: And that's not just politically embarrassing, but it's also horrible
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: for the United States of America because we all look weak.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: That's the commander in chief of the United States military
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: who's standing up there saying, well, just give me a
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: week or two and I'm gonna push this guy along
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: as if he's gonna call him and yell at him.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: It's an utter disgrace and for the good of the country,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: we hope he gets a better strategy here.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: He doesn't need to call him and yell at him.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: He's got Steve Wikoff to head over.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: There is real estate, buddy, Correct, what.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Is going to actually move putin? Because right now, I mean,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: even if Donald Trump is saying threatening, hey, I may
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: impose sanctions, he didn't even impose tariffs on Russia, right,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: he imposed tariffs on any on parts of the world
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: they didn't even have humans inhabiting it, right, parts of
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: the world that only had penguins. And we didn't impose
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: tariffs on Russia. So why should we think sanctions are
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: coming anytime soon?
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: No, I don't think we should. And I think when
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: you look at that what he said, I think the
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: most important part of it is he said his famous
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: two weeks. And we know from Trump one point zero
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: that two weeks can mean any number of things.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Two weeks is like many people, Yes, what's your take
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: on this?
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Look he said, we'll see if he's tapping us along,
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: he is being tapped along. I mean, this was a
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: promise to President Trump had solved this in my first
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: day in office. I'm just gonna take a day. We're
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: going to figure out this crisis. We've seen over and
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: over again his overtures and efforts backfire. There was that
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: weird meeting in Turkey where maybe President Trump was going
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: to show up, and suddenly each delegation went to the
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: wrong city and nothing happened. And I think that President
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Selunsky has played this pretty well. What he's saying over
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: and over again is he's ready to talk if President
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Trump's there, in President Putin's there, it hasn't happened. So
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: he's going this into happening and showing that he's not
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: willing to be party to these talks whenever they happen.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: What's going to change the circumstances here. I think it's
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: just the peak that the president has the fact that
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: he's going to be publicly humiliated as this is where
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: he's been unable to get these parties to the table
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: in the way that he said he'd be able to.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Well, today Germany said they are going to increase funding
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: and production of weapons for Ukraine. Will that be enough
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: to help?
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Well, it certainly doesn't hurt. And you can't underestimate just
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the extraordinary bravery and ingenuity being displayed by the Ukrainian
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: military and the Ukrainian people each and every day. But
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: let's make no bones about it here, the Russian military
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: is winning. They are pushing further into Ukraine each and
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: every day, and that's awfully scary politically speaking. If this
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: fails and the Russian military takes Ukraine, that is equivalent
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: politically to what happened in Afghanistan to the Democrats. And
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: soon enough, I pray to God, soon enough, Donald Trump
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: realizes that. You already see Republican senators coming out and
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: breaking with Trump and calling for enhanced sanctions. Tomorrow, the
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: next week, they will call for increased weapon transfers to
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the Ukrainian military. We will finally see that the Republican
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Party fingers crossed, are not fully owned subsidiaries of crazy
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: MAGA and Crazy DJT, as Howard Lutnik likes to call him,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and they'll actually do.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: The right thing before we go. Then Trump said, I
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: want to get it right. If it wasn't for him quote,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: and Putin's predecessor responded by warning, with the possibility of
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: World War three, how unstable is this situation because the
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: truth is most people aren't paying attention to it.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: This, I think is the scariest thing happening right now
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: in the global stage.
