back to Doug Davis.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
All right, thank you. President Trump is prepping for a
one on one meeting with Russian President Putin in Alaska
this Friday, without Ukrainian leader Zelenski regarding the war. He
spoke about that meeting during yesterday's news conference.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
I get along with Zelenski, but you know, I disagree
with what he's done, very very severely disagree.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
This is a war that should have never.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Happened, wouldn't have happened.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
But I'll be speaking to Zelenski, but.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
That comment is raising eyebrows across the Europe and in
the nation's capital. Former US Ambassador to Russia Michael McFall
told MSNBC, well.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
First, that clip you just played makes me nervous about
what the President is going to say on Friday. Lensky
didn't do anything. Zelenski didn't cause this war. The President
of sometimes frames that both are at fault. Russia Vladimir
Putin invaded Ukraine and now occupies territory. And if the
President doesn't have that concept in his head when he

(02:17):
walks into the ming on Friday, he's going to make
statements and he's going to acquiesce the Putin demands that
will be bad for American national security interests and of
course bad for Ukraine.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Though Trump's language has been vague to say the least,
he says he doesn't expect a peace deal to come
out of the meeting Friday, but man, you feel a
Trump deal could be in the making. Meanwhile, longtime black
US Congressman Jim Claber of South Carolina says America's democracy
is under threat and that the warning signs look eerily
familiar to Germany in the nineteen thirties and that the
country is headed to authoritarianism. Here's what he had to

(02:50):
say hours ago on MSNBC.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
I saw back in twenty and eighteen outside of sound
and this alarm, and I told people that we're headed
in this. If you remember back in Germany at the
Big issue, remember a man named Jesse Orange and how
hit the walk out of the arena and Jesse owens
one that race Jesse Orangs had lost. He was a

(03:13):
state and celebrated. So these things are very clear to me,
and I think people should be realistic and stop pretended
that is not happening. It is happening. And if we
do not reverse this very quickly, I think we will
go the way of Germany in the nineteen thirties.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Representative Clyburn pointed to voter suppression, loss, attacks on the press,
and the federal takeover of local police departments as signs.
He adds that he's seen his playbook before and quote,
we know how it ends. And finally, in Nashville, Tennessee,
a black man once freed after spending nearly two decades
for a crime he said he didn't commit, back in
jail again. Thomas Clardy was convicted in two thousand and

(03:53):
seven for a twenty oh five shooting, but in twenty
twenty three, a federal judge overturned his conviction, and this
summer in the heels court reversed that ruling on procedural grounds.
His lawyer says no physical evidence ever tied him to
the crime. Stay informed, stay connected and subscribed. Follow BI
