really inside. This is Bowen's Cars, brought to you by

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Here's your host, bow Triven. All right, welcome everybody. Good morning.
Laying in bed the other day and thought about that
opening line Robin Williams used to use in Good Morning Vietnam.
You know they good Morning Vietnam. That was a great movie.

(00:52):
Ron Williams was a great actor. Anyways, spring is upon us.
Life is getting somewhat odd these days. I think the
news coming out. I'm gonna talk about the meeting that
Zelensky had with President Trump here recently, obviously, because that's
something that everybody seems to be talking about different takes

(01:15):
on it. But I'll get into that in a little while.
One of the things that has caught my eye and
irritated me quite a bit here last week is we
voted for change, We voted for transparency. You know, when
the Obama administration came in. They said they were gonna
be the most transparent administration ever. We all know how

(01:36):
that went. They lied, they covered up, they misled, they misdirected,
did everything they could to make sure we didn't know
about all of the crap going on, especially you know
that one in the White House at the end when
they were trying to plan how they were gonna make
sure Trump didn't enact any of his policies because he

(01:59):
wasn't supposed to supposed to be Hillary speaking of that,
let me let me let me cover that real quick.
So the other day were Susan Rice, you guys, For
those of you that don't remember or didn't care, Susan
Rice was the one who went on She worked in
the Obama administration and she was I think she wasn't

(02:20):
Secretary of State. She was up there and supposedly she
was in or with part of that delegation that was
talking to Zelensky trying to blow up the mineral rights deal. Again.
I'll talk about that in a little while. But she's
also the one that was high up in the Obama
administration that went on five different shows on Sunday morning,

(02:42):
five different Sunday morning shows and told everybody that they've
been Gazi was a direct result of the release of
a video that was released on YouTube, and it was
the video that caused ben Ghazi to happen. Just out
and out lied about it that got debunked pretty fast.

(03:02):
But she knew what the true story was. She knew
exactly what had happened, but she went on there and
lied about it anyways, So she's supposed to be was part
of this delegation telling Zelensky not to sign the Mineral
Rice deal, and uh, Molly Hemingway tweeted at her and
said something about Uh. Susan Rice had made a quote

(03:23):
on x that said, there's no question this was the
set up, and she revealed full knowledge of the Mineral agreement,
complained that it didn't include concrete security agreements, meaning that
we wouldn't put US boots on the ground. And then
Susan Rice tweeted back and said, you clowns are up
to the same old tired crap. When you when your
guys cruise up and royally embarrasses himself and the US,
you try to change the subject and lie about a

(03:44):
favorite target to distract and deflect for the record, I
have never met Zelensky and never spoke to him ever.
So Molly Hemingway, knowing that Susan Rice has been caught
dead to write in a number of lies, tweeted back
to her and said, thank you for your response. Where
would we place this denial compared to your to your
oft repeated lie that the Bengazi debacle was due to

(04:06):
a YouTube video and your lie that you knew nothing
about the unmasking of Trump officials before being forced to
admit you did it widely. Then she went on and said, actually,
since we're chatting here, how are you feeling about the
logan ac scheme y'all memorialized in that January fifth, twenty
seventeen meeting to criminalize foreign policy differences with potus? How

(04:26):
are you feeling about that now that the shoes on
the other foot. The interesting thing about that, after Molly
Hemingway tweeted right back to Susan Rice, was Susan Rice
just blocked Molly Hemingway and never responded. When you're caught
dead to rights being as hypocritical as you can possibly be,

(04:47):
it's time to just shut up, be done. So I
am not a conspiracy theorist. Typically, a lot of the
things that we talk about being conspiracy theorists or spiracy
theory turn out to be true. Right. There was an
old Mel Gibson movie called Conspiracy Theory, and a lot

(05:08):
of the ones he was trying to get the reporter
to talk about turned out to be true, and there
was a lot of It was a good movie, but
it's kind of old. But anyways, I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
But there's a picture going around and Sean Davis, who
is a conservative article writer or conservative journalist, there's a

(05:29):
picture floating around about chef jose Andres. Right. You may
may or may not have seen him. I think he
was an iron chef at one point. But for whatever reason,
Jose Andres seems to be getting around quite a bit.
Not only did he win the Medal of Honor from
President Biden and there's a picture of him with him,

(05:50):
but there also happens to be a picture of him
taken with Zelenski, and also a picture take with him
and Ryan Ruth, the guy that was the second attempted
assassin for President Trump. Now I don't know how that happens,
but how do you get connected to Zelensky and the

(06:15):
guy that tried to kill Trump. And by the way,
the same guy that tried to kill Trump or was
attempting to assassinate him. You remember that, that's the guy
that the Secret Service I don't know missed at shooting
him from about five yards away. A Secret Service agent
that trained to understand how to shoot and fire and

(06:37):
all of that. Somehow or another, the Secret Service agent
misses him with five different shots from five to ten
yards away. Either our Secret Service isn't trained to shoot well,
or he wasn't trying to hit he, or she wasn't
trying to actually hit Ryan Ruth. But there's there's just
too many things that don't add up. How is it
because I have heard rumors and seen things that Lin

(07:00):
Zelensky with the assassination attempts on Trump some other people
that were associated with Lensky. Now, I'm not telling you
I know anything. I'm that Taya, It's true. I'm not
telling you anything. I'm just telling you that it seems
to me as if there is always some backstory. I mean,
what in God's name is a foreign purse, a foreign

(07:22):
adversary and not adversary but not really a a friendly either,
But what is he doing campaigning for the other side?
What is he doing campaigning for one side or the
other period? What is Zelensky thinking when he's going to
go campaign? Because when when they lose, and they did,
now you still got to deal with the other guy.
That is not diplomacy by any stretch of the imagination.

(07:46):
The man's absolutely out of his gord, not knowing how
to be a statesman and a diplomat. Don't be coming
around begging for money when you don't you don't have
the cards to do anything else. This is Bonos' Cars
brought you by Cheva Buick GMC of Murphysboro. Come on back.
After the break.

Speaker 1 (08:20):

really inside. This is Bowen's Cars, brought to you by

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Here's your host, bow Triven. All right, welcome back, everybody,
sincerely appreciate you tuning in and listening. Although sometimes I
feel like I get done with this and I think,
why would anybody listen to all that? Just I'm not
very good at the here, but I'll keep trying to

(09:02):
get better. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, you guys, if
you were here last week, you heard that I had
just got back from vacation with my beautiful wife. We
had the opportunity to go over to Singapore for a
couple of days, and we went to Thailand for a
few days and then spent forty eight hours trying to
get home. The trip was great, but I learned a lot.

(09:26):
You know. One of the things I enjoy about going
traveling around is the cultures and learning about the cultures.
And we got to see some of the Buddhist temples
and some of the really cool stuff that Taiwan or
Thailand is known for, and I was really appreciative of it.
But one of the one of the things we did
was we took a little tour and on the tour
we had a guide from Thailand. There that and we

(09:46):
were in Bangkok, we spent we spent a number of
days at the Four Seasons in Kosamui in Thailand, which
is where if any of you are familiar with the
show The White Lotus that's filmed on each That was
where this year's this season, season three was filmed. And
I didn't know it when I booked the hotel back
six months ago, but they had just finished wrapping up

(10:07):
this taping, so it was pretty cool. Anyways, while we
were on a trip with a guide, the guide was
telling us that, you know, while they still have royalty,
they still have a capitalist society and they have free
elections and democracy and blah blah blah. But he went
on to tell us how it was incredibly hard to
you couldn't say anything bad about the royal family or
you could be put in jail. So he was interested

(10:31):
to talk about our free speech. And that's sort of
coincided with Jade Vance talking about free speech over in
the UK or in Europe and how it's in its
waning days and we don't have free speech the way
you'd think we would. And I was looking at watching
it or reading an article by a gentleman named Jordan Seculau.

(10:53):
It was on townhall dot com and it goes on
to talk about how the attack on free speech and
is now in the UK and you've got to be
careful when you travel anymore, because in the UK, I'm
just going to read part of it to you. It's decided,
it's decided to specifically talking about the UK to specifically

(11:15):
target Americans and will charge and prosecute Americans for their
social media posts, even if it's posted while still in
America if they travel to the borders. To its borders.
The ACLJ has prepared a legal memo detailing specific laws
at play and the danger for Americans. It details your
speech on how your speech on the internet could violate

(11:36):
UK's broad hate speech laws and how you can be
arrested as soon as you step foot in the UK
for your post back home. Now, think about how absolutely
ludicrous that is for somebody who is supposed to be
a partner of ours, a strategic partner, and who, by
the way, I want to remind we kicked your butt
two hundred and fifty years ago and we can do
it again. Don't come messing with Americans in our free speech.

(12:00):
We post something in America that's not against the laws
in America, and you think you can arrest us in
the UK for something we posted online in our country,
lost your mind. So if it goes on to talk
about it. If an American speaks in a way that
UK officials construe as affecting their national interests or even
producing substantial effects within their country, even if it's just
a statement about one's Christian faith or political stance, then

(12:22):
the American could be arrested upon entry into the UK.
And by the way, the UK officials have been bragging
about this. There's a UK Metropolitan Police Commissioner's name is
Sir Mark Role. He wasn't we're going to have a
serve in front of it, and thought that we were
getting away from that because you can't say sir and
ma'am anymore because that's not it's too gender specific. But

(12:45):
he said in press conference this guy, this Sir Mark
ROLEI that we will this is a quote, we will
throw the full force of the law at people, and
whether you're in this country committing crimes on the streets
or committing crimes from further afield online, we will come
after you. And then that British Prime Minister Chiro Starmer
on how you say his first name, but there's another

(13:06):
quote from him says, I will guarantee, I guarantee you
will regret taking part in this disorder, whether directly or
those whipping up this action online. And then the UK
government went as far as to demand that Apple allow
it access allow it to access the encrypted data stored
by users worldwide and its cloud service, which would basically

(13:26):
enable them to go back and access information from and
about Americans. It's never been made public before yet. No,
how about that, big no. So you might ask what
exactly qualifies the terrorist offense under the UK's definition, Well,
good news is whatever they determine it is. It's a's

(13:46):
their whim. The Public Order Active eight nineteen eighty six
criminalizes this is a quote threatening abusive or insulting words.
And then they passed another Communication to Act in two
thousand and three that prohibits grossly offensive electronic messages. So
it basically is up to them what they determined. So,

(14:08):
by the way, recent enforcement actions have included arrest of
individuals for posting what authorities deemed inaccurate social media content.
In short, they've lost their dang minds. You think you're
going to arrest Americans for things that we said if

(14:28):
they come to your country. You want to shut down tourism,
I'll show you a quick way to do that. Start
that crap, I am. And by the way, we're talking
about the same country that is getting really close to
legalizing child rape. In another article that I was reading
on hot air, it was talking about a gentleman by

(14:52):
the name of Thomas Beckton. Yeah, he's got Tommy Becton.
Thomas Beckton, he was forty years old, was caught with
one thousand and forty four videos and images of children
child sex acts. And the defense said that Becton was

(15:15):
a quote is a medium risk to children which could
be reduced and and managed by engaging with probation. They
let the guy go. Meanwhile, Tommy Robinson sitting in solitary
confinement over the UK. You might remember, he's in solitary confinement,
been there for eighteen months because he aired a documentary
that's his entire he This man put out a documentary

(15:38):
and they put him in solitary confinement for the last
eighteen months. But you'll let a guy who's got over
a thousand child sex act videos on his phone, you'll
let him walk because he's a medium risk to children.
In what are we coming to in any country that

(16:00):
would allow that to be? Okay? But especially a Western
country where we all are supposed to have and I'm
air quoting here shared values. That's not one of my
shared values. The guy that aired a documentary that's free speech,
he doesn't go to jail. I mean, like what's in
the documentary. Don't even know what's in the documentary, don't
really care what's in the documentary. But it's a documentary
that did not involve any crimes being committed while while

(16:24):
making the documentary or airing the documentary. I don't understand it.
I just don't will never understand where they're getting this.
By the way, this is the same country who allowed

(16:45):
the grooming gangs to run rampant all over the UK
because they didn't want to be seen as somehow racist
or offensive to the Pakistani men who were abusing and
ten twelve fourteen year old girls in one case. There's
a one trial going on over in the UK right now.

(17:07):
It's called the Rochdale and his roch Rockdale Grooming Trial
and the defense for some of these people because they
finally are putting some of them. Jill. She told the
court that it was just that they described her as
loitering and prostituting from the age of ten. This was

(17:28):
one of the girls that was one of the victims
of the crimes of one of these grooming gangs, and
they're literally talking about her being a prostitute at the
age of ten. That is not even remotely possible for
a ten year old. By the way, we're talking about
the same people, the same type of people on that
type of side of the aisle who will tell you

(17:49):
that a fully formed brain isn't happening until you're twenty six,
so you shouldn't be responsible for your crimes until you
get to be at least twenty six years old. You
can commit crimes and not have the same consequences because
you aren't fully formed in your ability to think clearly.
But those same people will tell you that a twelve
year old or a fourteen year old has the ability
to think clearly enough to say I want to change
my body for the rest of my life and no

(18:11):
going back, or that a ten year old has the
ability to talk about to think it through to become
a prostitute in how do you even say that with
a straight face and not think that you're going to
go to the burning place at some point. That's a
ten year old. She doesn't deserve that and by the way,

(18:37):
that this is the same country, the one that wants
to put people in jail from the u United States
for things we might post online that they don't like
or they deem inappropriate. That are letting gangs of Pakistani
men take as many girls as they want to and
commit heinous crimes against them with no repercussions whatsoever. As
a matter of fact, on a couple of them, they

(18:58):
even put the fathers in jail for trying to save
their daughters. We are backwards in every step of the way.
All right, you can tell I'm getting fired up. I'll
slow down. Come back from the after, Come back with
me after the break. This is Bonnos Cars brought to
my Chevrolet Buick GMC of Murphysboro.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
With over thirty years in the auto industry, he has
deciding to pull back the curtain and show you what's
really inside. This is Boono's Cars, brought to you by

Speaker 2 (19:49):
Here's your host, Bow Triven. All right, welcome back everybody.
So so you may or may not know about a
congress person by the name of Eric Swallwell. And Eric
Swalwell is a despicable human being. He got cart or

(20:16):
he was doing an interview. This isn't about being despicable,
this is just funny. But he was doing an interview
on live television. I think it was on MSNBC, which
would be appropriate, might have been on CNN, but he
was doing a live interview one day and had some
flatulence come out that you could hear right in the
middle of the interview. It was funny. It's all over
the internet, you can go find it. But Eric Swallwell

(20:39):
also turns out was having an affair with a Chinese
spy by the name of Fang Fang. He was sleeping
with her. This was several years ago. It was bad
enough to get him kicked off the National Security Committee
at one of those committee, national Intelligence Committee, some committee

(20:59):
that they did and want to give him the clearance
for because this was a Chinese spy by the name
of Fang Fang that he was sleeping with. The other day,
there was he happened to be out at a dinner
somewhere in Washington, d C. With some lobbyists that ostensibly
he had just met. At least that's what it sounded like.
When the guy that was sitting next to him, who
happened to be a conservative reporter that Swalwell didn't know,

(21:23):
was overhearing the conversation and he decided to tape it
about an hour and a half's worth, and in it,
Swalwell talked about how he was bored with his wife
only wanted to be with tens that he subpoena. He
personally subpoena Avanka Trump during one of the committee's hearings

(21:43):
because she was hot. As uh, you take that, And
this is all on tape, by the way, and he went,
he he's just disgusting. First of all, if you're talking
about cheating on your wife with a bunch of people
you just met, and we already know you were sleeping
with Chinese spy, that's been determined, no doubt about it.

(22:04):
And now you're out with a bunch of people you
just met, and you're drunk, and you're talking about the
daughter of the President of the United States that way,
and then you're talking about inconveniencing her for your own pleasure.
By making her come testify in front of Congress because
you just wanted to look at her. First of all,
his wife needs to divorce him tomorrow, like just be

(22:24):
done with him, because he's obviously not he is. What
Let's see, it was Hillary Clinton. I think that said
that half the country belongs in a basket of deplorables,
an irredeemable basket of deplorables, or a basket of irredeemable deplorables.
I'm not sure what she said, but she was calling

(22:44):
a bunch of people deplorables, and I'm going to agree
with her. We just have a difference of opinion as
to who belongs in the basket. It is absolutely and
I tell you that to say that if you think so.
Apparently there is a thing out there called a honeypot,
and it's a term that they use to try to

(23:07):
wrangle a high ranking member of a campaign or somebody
into doing something with a good looking young lady that
lures them into doing something so they can get dirt
on them and they can use it to either, I
don't know, use it against them. Right. So, apparently James

(23:29):
Comy and I want to go back and say that
one of the things I'm disappointed right now in is Pambondy,
and I like Pambondy a lot, but that debacle about
the Epstein files and the release of them and given
us something that we already knew anyways, that didn't go
over real well with me. And the fact that you
weren't smart enough to know that two hundred pages was
not all they had on Epstein after a howmever many

(23:51):
year investigation, that they should have had a lot more,
and you released it knowing that there was more but
didn't have it yet. I just think that whole thing
kind of got sideways and it didn't look good in
the very beginning for her or cash Bettel. They can
get their act together and they can do better, and
hopefully they do. But apparently they're also investigating this honeypot

(24:12):
scheme that James Comy, who was the FBI director at
the time, and if you've paid any attention, you know
he was a dirt bag. He belonged up there with
Peter Strock and the Peter Strock's girlfriend, that page lady,
I can't remember her first name, but apparently there was
a whistleblower that came forward not too long ago and

(24:33):
LEDs that Komy ran the operation personally and that it
was a criminal investigation targeting Donald Trump and his staff.
So this is from The New York or the Washington Times.
I'm sorry the Washington Times. The whistleblower agent personally knew
that mister Komy ordered an FBI investigation into mister Trump,
and that mister Komy personally directed it. According to the disclosure,

(24:53):
the investigation did not appear to target a specific crime,
but was more of a what agents would describe as
a phishing expedition to find anything incriminating against mister Trump.
The whistleblower said the undercover operation was obscured from Justice
Department Inspector Michael Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who investigated misconduct
in the probe. In the bureau's probe of the Trump campaign,

(25:14):
this is another quote. The case had no predicated foundation,
so Comy personally directed the investigation without creating an official
case file in Sentinel or any other FBI system. According
to the whistleblower's disclosure, the FBI has multiple methods of
protecting highly sensitive investigations, so Komy did not have a
legitimate reason not to officially create an official investigation file

(25:37):
or have a file number. So there's zero chance that
Komy launched something that big against what could be the
incoming president of the United States. And let's go back
to that January fifth meeting in twenty seventeen where Obama
and Susan Rice and a number of other people were
in the Oval Office talking about how to undercut Trump.

(26:00):
There's zero chance that somebody in the Obama administration didn't
know about this honeypot scheme that they were running against
the Trump campaign and all the campaign staffers. They didn't
have anything, and they kept looking and trying to create something.
I have said this many many times, and I'm going
to continue to say it. Donald Trump and Donald Trump's

(26:22):
family have to be the cleanest people in the world
when it comes to scandals, or somebody would have found it.
The only thing they found in the last twelve or
thirteen years since he came down the escalator or ten
years since he came down the escalator. The only thing
is they dredged up some lady that said he sexually
assaulted her in nineteen ninety eight. But she can't in
Bergdorf Goodman in broad daylight. But she's never told anybody

(26:44):
about it until twenty five years later or whatever the
time was. And conveniently she only told him when he
was running for reelection, and then they dredged up something
in New York and said he over inflated the values
of his properties, even though all the banks said, we
didn't get hurt. He paid us every dime back. We
agreed to the agreement, and we did our due diligence,
and we believed everything, and we're good. But because some

(27:05):
goofy judge decides that he knows the value of real
estate more than one of the top real estate developers
in the world, he got convicted of it. Now doesn't
mean he did anything wrong. We all know it was partisan.
But in reality, if that's all you've come up with
in the ten years you've been looking to him and
all of his family members, you're lacking in what you found.

(27:29):
So my heart still goes out to all of the
people in Lehina, Hawaii who still haven't been rebuilt, the
people in East Palestine, Ohio that trained Deerelment's still not
fix the people in Western Carolina, and all of the
people devastated by the hurricanes last year, and the people
in Florida who are still recovering from the hurricanes. Also
we forget about them, but they're still in the recovery stages.

(27:54):
But then we have the fires, the fires in California,
And while I'd like to say my heart goes out
to them, and I feel for the ones who got
caught up in the crap, those of you that asked
for it by continuing to vote for people who continue
to regulate you to the teeth, and who continue to

(28:16):
bury you in taxes and continue to raise the cost
of living on you, and continue to scream climate change,
climate change. You. I don't have any sympathy for you.
Caused this mess by voting for the people who absolutely
were going to destroy your state. And let me give
you one example of how that's going to happen. So

(28:40):
in the city of Los Angeles and Los Angeles County
and all over there where they had the two fires,
the Palisades Fire and the Eton fire, they said there's
twenty eight billion dollars for the damage done for the
Palisades Fire and fifty three point eight billion dollars in
property damage and property damage on the Eating fire. And
that with business disruptions for objected to result economic losses

(29:01):
of up to nine billion dollars. So there's going to
be a lot of economic hardships. People are losing their jobs,
people don't but they got to rebuild their houses. How
long will that take? I don't know, because we're going
to get regulated to death. But speaking of those economic
hardships that the county supervisor was worried about, maybe they

(29:27):
thought it should have thought about what they're doing to
the people who didn't do anything wrong either. Because here's
what it's going to say in an and this is
a tweet from a gentleman by the name of Dennis Block.
In an insane move by the Los Angeles County Board
of Supervisors, a new Tenant Protection Act was passed. This

(29:49):
allows tenants to avoid paying rent from February first of
twenty twenty five through July thirty first of twenty twenty
five if they certified that they or financially impacted by
the recent fires. No proof needs to be shown. You're
gonna take all of those landlords that are out there
renting those houses and tell everybody you don't have to

(30:11):
pay your landlord for the next six months. If you
just say you were economically impacted and certified. You don't
have to have any proof. How insane is that? How
insane is it that you're gonna take all of the
people who didn't have anything to do with anything that
are just collecting rent, and you're gonna tell them they
have to take the burden of all of their houses
for the next six months, with property taxes and insurance

(30:35):
and everything else for all of the rent out there.
That is absolutely insane. But the people that are affected
by it are the people who voted for it. For
the most part, you voted those people in. They told
you who they were, You didn't believe them. It's absolutely
insane to me that people continue to pass laws like that.
They say other people aren't responsible for their debts just

(30:56):
because they were involved in some sort of issue. None
of that happened in East Palestine, none of that happened
in the Line, and none of it's happening over in
the Western Carolina's. None of it's happening in Florida, only
in La You gotta be kidding me. Anyways, come on
back after the break, I'm gonna talk about the meeting
in the White House. This is Bonos Cars brought you

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Here's your host, Bow Triven. All right, welcome back everybody.
So let me get this out of the way. I
think Trump was right. I think that you have a
I saw a meme the other day with Trump and JD.
Vance and Zelensky sitting in a in the Oval office,

(32:14):
and the caption was when the broke guy shows up
and you and your buddies are getting ready to order pizza,
and he says, hey, get some wings too. Right, he's
not contributing to anything, but he gets to demand what
exactly he wants to eat. That's Zelensky. But it turns
out that there's a reason apparently why he was playing

(32:37):
the fool. Not only did he get coached by some
of the Democrats, but apparently he had already signed a
deal with the UK for the mineral rights three days
before Trump was inaugurated. So in an article I found
on PJ Media by Matt Marcoulis, it goes on to
say retired US Army Cardinal Lieutenant Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaeffer

(32:58):
dropped this truth during a recent Newsmax interview, revealing that
a battle of dueling narratives exists between the White House
and Ukraine over a minerals deal. During the interview, Shaefer
revealed that mere days before Trump's inauguration, the British signed
an agreement with Ukraine to have exclusive rights to those minerals.

(33:20):
You can go check it out. This is on the
British UK website. It talks about this one hundred year
Ukraine and UK signed deal over security guarantees and economic development. Indeed,
the Ukraine UK partner one hundred year partnership decoration, strength
and security, tize and mineral cooperation between the two nations.
It includes deepened defense collaboration, joint weapons production and expanded

(33:42):
military capabilities. And the UK is also positioned as a
key partner in Ukraine's energy and critical minerals sectors, supporting
green steel production and resource development. So those are resources
that Trump was asking for, and apparently they've already signed
an agreement with the UK without telling anybody, including our partner,

(34:04):
the UK. So if you guys think that we are
responsible for taking care of all of the world, and
you're irritating, because I've read some commentary where people were
irritated that Trump was asking for a minerals feel like
we're supposed to just give everything away without any anything
coming back. By the way, whether you understand this or not,
the Europeans, most of their money and stuff that they've

(34:26):
given to Ukraine in the war was alone. We just
write blank checks and say, hey, have a nice day,
I hope you can win. Absolutely insanity to me that
we've been doing this for years. And by the way,
who's upset with the UK for signing the mineral rights
agreement because they were all upset with Trump making it.
You were trying to monetize it, and they're trying to

(34:48):
fight for freedom and democracy and blah blah blah blah blah.
But nobody's mad at the UK for doing the exact
same thing. They just did it before we did it.
It is absolutely insane that they think they can do
it by themselves though. It's absolutely insane that Britain the
UK thinks they can go beat off Russia without having
any help from US. Nope, not gonna happen there. You're

(35:09):
not gonna be able to beat him back. He's going
to win that war. He has more people. He has
unless you want to put boots on the ground, there's
not enough people in the country of Ukraine to win
the war. So I found this other article Kurt Sleister
in PJ Media or town Hall talks about the ten
hard facts about Ukraine and NATO, and I found it
very interesting. So first hard fact, Russia is absolutely in

(35:32):
the wrong for invading Ukraine. Nothing that Ukraine did can
justify Russia joining it. Right, we are invading it, there's
no doubt it should have never happened, and Russia is
wrong for doing it. But number two, Ukraine is not
going to be able to win the war. If the
definition of winning the war is recovering all of the

(35:54):
conquered Ukraine territory, maybe you get a stalemate where thousands
and thousands of more people die, hundreds of thousands, tens
of thousands, whatever. Maybe you get a stalemate where there's
a whole bunch of destruction and inability to even build
it back. But if what you're saying is that the
only way you can define a win is if you

(36:16):
push Russia out and get Crimea back in the don
Boss region, back anything else they've taken over, that's not
going to happen unless everybody wants to put boots on
the ground, and then we've got World War three. Number three.
Zelenski will have to accept the reality that America will
need to be paid back for its aid, which means,
as a practical matter, access to Ukraine's mineral reserves. We're

(36:37):
thirty six trillion dollars in debt. We can't just keep
giving our money away to save everybody else. We're not
going to have any left. We need to get something back,
just like China would, just like the Great Britain did,
just like everybody else. Once again, all of the aid
being given to them by the UH European Union is

(36:58):
coming in the form of a loan. Why not you us?
Number four. Ukraine is unbelievably corrupt. Is an unbelievably corrupt country,
and the idea that is, and the idea that no
substantial portion of our aid money has been stolen is ridiculous,
and that's a fact. They were a corrupt country. Joe
Biden went over there and made them fire Victor Schoken,

(37:21):
who was the prosecutor that was just looking into the
Ukrainian oil company Barisma, that had just hired Joe Biden's
son to be on the board of directors with no
experience whatsoever in oil or gas none. They're corrupt and
they don't even just deny it. Number five, the American

(37:42):
people are by and large tired of subsidizing Ukraine's end
of this war. And that's a fact. Also, We're just
getting tired of it. And I'm getting tired of that petulant,
little short guy coming over here and sitting down and
trying to demand what we owe him. Go to the Europeans,
they're in your backyard. By the way. If he takes
if Putin's successfully he takes over Ukraine, he's now at

(38:04):
the back door of all the other European countries that
belong to NATO, then what are you gonna do. You're
gonna fight it out with him. China substantially that number six,
China is substantially greater threat to the United States than Russia.
In the macro. That's a fact. Number seven. The European
should be taking the lead and supporting Ukraine, and should
be taking the lead and defending Europe, but they can't

(38:26):
because they're broke, so they need us even though we're
more broke. Number eight. The campaign to insult critics have
passed Ukraine policy by calling them Putin's puppets and so
forth is a lie and is going to result in
the enmity towards the idea of helping the Ukrainians. You
can't keep us like calling fifty percent of us fascist,
fifty percent of us Nazis, fifty percent of us whatever,

(38:46):
because we don't agree with your strategy. And by the way,
what's your strategy? Got a three year stalemate war where
it's a meat grinder and a bunch of people are dying.
And if you try to equate that, our investment into
Ukraine has been right on the money and we've got
the best return on investment, which I've heard a bunch
of Democrats talking about, because we haven't lost a single
American soldier and look at what he's doing. Yeah, I

(39:08):
get it, but that discounts all of the young Russian
and Ukrainian men who are dying for no reason right now.
Number nine, some of our NATO allies are participating in
internal repression, including suppression free speech and the right to
organize and participate in elections via non establishment parties, meaning

(39:30):
we don't have the same shared values anymore. And number ten,
and this is a big one, It is an America's
interest that this war ends. We need to draw Rush
away from China and closer to the West. That's just it.
It's in our interest to have a war. It's not
in our interest to have a war going on. We're
proxy fighting with a nuclear armed enemy. That doesn't make

(39:51):
any sense. We are we have to end this and
at some point we have to acknowledge that the only
way it can is one of two ways, diplomacy or
we put boots on the ground, because he's going to
walk through Ukraine at some point. He's going to get
to the end. No matter how many weapons we give,
they're going to run out of people. It's just that simple.

(40:14):
And he's already got North Korea a grand to give
you more people. This is insanity to me. By the way.
You know, when Trump starts talking about things and people
laugh at him, and they talk about how nuts he
is and he's crazy. You remember about because I do,
because I talked about it on this show not too
many years ago, where Trump stood up in front of

(40:35):
the U N and said, Hey, by the way, Germany
and most of Europe, you're going to regret getting into
bed with Russia and having to buy all of your
oil and gas from Russia. It's causing a problem. By
the way. That means that the EU right now is
funding the war because they're still buying their oil from Russia.

(40:55):
They're keeping his h Let's see the EU import of
Russian fossil fuels and the third year of the invasion
surpassed the Uh. Yeah, EU imports of Russian fossil fuels
in the third year of the invasion surpassed the European
eight one hundred and eighty seven billion of financial aid

(41:16):
they sent to Ukraine in twenty twenty four. They're buying
more oil than they're giving to Ukraine in aid, which
means ostensibly they're funding the other side of the war.
And now they all laughed at him when he said,
you guys are going to be you guys are going
to be in trouble if you continue to rely on
Russian oil, You're going to have a problem in Russian energy.

(41:37):
So now it turns out that the let's see if
I can find it here. Yeah, So now it turns
out that they are begging in Germany, a lot of
the businesses are begging them to start importing more natural

(41:58):
gas from Russia because they don't have enough energy. So
now Russi's got him in the spot of We'll continue
to supply you with energy because that continues to keep
us in our coffers full, where we can fund this war,
where we can grind all the way through. How does
it end? What ends it? If you guys are so
smart out there on the left and want to and

(42:19):
say we need to just back Ukraine. What stops the killing,
What stops it before the mass destruction takes over everything
in that entire country. And to think that we either
have to put boots on the ground and do it,
which I am one hundred percent against, or we have
to concede. He's bigger and stronger than that guy. So

(42:41):
it's kind of like you see a bully picking on
a little kid. You got two choices. You can either
jump in the fight and fight with the kid to
try to beat back the bully, or you can try
to talk the bully out of it and say, look,
this isn't necessary. We don't have to do this anymore.
What can we do to make this right? How do
we fix this? I've said this before. While we don't

(43:03):
understand Putin's reasons, he has his reasons. Some of them
are wrong, a lot of them are wrong, but they're
his reasons. And until you get him to the negotiating table,
and you're not going Trump's whole point was, I'm not
going to get him to the negotiating table if I'm
always insulting him, nobody's coming to negotiate with me. And
until I get them to the table to negotiate, they're

(43:24):
just gonna keep walking, launching missiles and bombs and killing people.
So that's our only option is to get him to
the table. How do we do that? I don't understand
any I don't understand anybody thinking anything else. I really don't.
I don't understand how what is the end game here

(43:45):
if we don't get him to the table. Somebody please
tell me what it is, because I have in no way,
shape or form why comparing myself to Donald Trump? But
I'm telling you, I've negotiated a lot of deals in
my life, and in every one of the deals I've
ever negotiated, you cannot negotiate not understanding that the other

(44:06):
side has some opportunity to negotiate. Also, you got to
make it a win, win, at least the best you can,
less of a lose lose maybe. All right, that's my opinion.
I'm sticking to it. This is Bonos Cars, brought you
by Chevrolet Buick GMC of Murphy's bro Come on back
next week.
