3-1-25 Hour 3: You Can't Handle The Truth - Zelenskyy vs. Trump

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
To night.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Michael Brown joins me here, the former FEMA director talk
show host Michael Brown. Brownie, No, Brownie, You're doing a
heck of a job.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
The Weekend with Michael Brown. Hey broadcasting life from Denver, Colorado.
It's the Weekend of Michael Brown. I'm really happy to
have you joining the program. Today. We've spent and we're
gonna spend the next hour. We're gonna spend all three
hours because I sincerely want everyone to have a at
least my perspective, which I happen to think is legitimate

(00:31):
about what took place yesterday. Because in this hour you're
gonna hear again, you're gonna hear from General Keane talking
to another Fox host. But I think in a very
powerful analysis, even more than you just heard about the
approach that we're taking trying to resolve diplomatically this war

(00:52):
that's been going on for which there's no end in sight,
none whatsoever, and more likely than not, and here's the key,
more likely than not, if the war continues to proceed
as it has, Ukraine will lose, Ukraine will fall. So

(01:13):
now absent you know, I'll just ask you, so there
are two ways to end the war as are already end
all wars, you either win it or you diplomatically negotiate
an end to it. So, if you're in the camp
that you want to see Ukraine win and you accept

(01:34):
my premise, which I think you have to do, that
Ukraine cannot do this on its own, are you willing
to put American soldiers in Ukraine to fight Vladimir Putin's
soldiers and Kim Jong UN's soldiers, which would mean ultimately
Hijin Ping's soldiers, which ultimately results in World War III.

(01:58):
Because if you think for a second that Jijing Ping
is not watching this, and if two things happen, if
we just walk away, which we're not doing, the Left
would have you believe that we're walking away, but we're not.
We're very smartly getting something in exchange to stay, but

(02:21):
to stay without putting boots on the ground. But think
about if we were to live, if we literally were
just walk away and say, NATO, you're on your own,
United Kingdom, Poland, France, Germany, you guys want to fight
this war, have at it. Well, they can't win it either.
They don't have the economy, they don't they don't have

(02:41):
the armaments. They don't have the military to do it,
they'll bankrupt themselves. And that's even setting aside the legal
niceties that if NATO gets attacked then Article five could
be invoked and we'd be drawn into the war anyway.
But let's just pretend for a moment that that wouldn't happen.
If we walk away, that's a gigantic that's a big,

(03:04):
fat ass sign that we're weak. How long do you
think it would take Shijingping and China to say, oh,
this is the perfect time to invade Taiwan. And then,
because Japan and South Korea have made it clear that
they will come to the defense of Taiwan, as as Australia,

(03:25):
New Zealand Philippines to the extent they can, probably would too.
We're beholden to all of them. Are we going to
just allow communist China to take over the entire Indo Pacific?
Because if they take Taiwan without any resistance whatsoever, and

(03:45):
Japan and South Korea and Australia get involved, that's you've
got an Eastern front in Ukraine, you got a Indo
Pacific front in Taiwan. That equals World War III. And
that's why I say that this particular meeting could be

(04:06):
the Archduke Ferdinand moment that leads to World War three.
And Trump knows that, Marco Arubio knows that JD. Vance
knows that Zelenski is completely oblivious to it, and we
can make all sorts of rationalizations while he's oblivious to it.
But that's not the leader you want, and that's not
the leader you need when you're facing the potential for

(04:28):
World War three. So I renew my question. If you're
one that wants to see the war one militarily, are
you willing to send US troops?

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (04:41):
I didn't think so. If you are, you're in the minority.
So that leaves us with a diplomatic solution. And in
my opinion, Trump is brilliantly putting together a diplomatic solution,
but he got played yesterday. I don't think they anticipated this.

(05:03):
I know you listen. If you listen to the cabal,
they'll tell you that this was an ambush where Vance
and Trump intentionally killed the deal. Makes no sense whatsoever,
because if you take Trump and just think of him
as solely a businessman, I just want to make money,

(05:25):
not for myself before the country. I just want Let's
say he's in the pocket of every rare earth mineral
or company that needs a rare earth mineral, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, In, Nvidia, TSMC,
if he's in the pockets of all those giant corporations,

(05:46):
if he wants this deal, he doesn't want to see
this deal blown up because he knows all those companies
will make millions, if not billions, of dollars. So you
can't have it both ways. You can't claim that somehow
this was an ambush perpetrated by Trump and Vance. It
just doesn't make any sense whatsoever. My take is Zelensky

(06:07):
was encouraged by both certain European leaders like Kier Starmer,
who just happened to be here just a couple of
days ago, and by the Democrat senators from Chuck Schumer
on down Victoria Newlan and the Obama acolytes that want
this war to continue. And they told Zelenski, you know what,

(06:31):
we don't agree with anything Trump's doing. We wouldn't sign
this deal. So if you have an opportunity to blow
this deal up, blow it up. Now, Why would I
say that? Why would I think that it would be
that bad. Let's go to Chris Murphy Democrat senator from Connecticut.

(06:52):
He writes on X that Maga, of course that's meant
to be pejority is making the claim that if you
want the entire fifty minute videos, Zelensky is the antagonist.
This isn't true at all. I was with Zelensky before
this meeting, and it's important to know his mindset. Heading
in a short thread on how the entire ambush went down,

(07:15):
and he writes that you cannot erase the context. Trump
has been calling Zelensky a corupt dictator and spreading Russian
propaganda that Russia didn't invade Ukraine. All these lines are
Trump's pretext to sign a deal with Russia that hands
Ukraine to Putin. Where where do you see that? He
claims Chris Murphy does this Zelensky knows that Trump is

(07:39):
just trying to cut a deal to hand Ukraine over
to Putin. Makes no sense whatsoever. And then Chris Murphy claims,
without any basis whatsoever, that Zelensky, who's been cut out
of the tucks, knows what Trump and Putin are scheming.
A ceasefire without any guarantees for Ukraine's future security is
a trap. Trump's deal will Why are Ukrainian forces to

(08:01):
withdraw and when they do, pluting well pounds. It's a setup.
Zelensky was invited to those talks in Saudi in the
Middle East. I forget whether it was Saudi or Cutter,
but he was invited. He was invited to those talks.
He declined to go. Did he married men. I'll send
some emissaries. I'm not sure. If you watch, and I

(08:23):
would encourage you to do so. It's posted on my
execount at Michael Brown USA. It's it takes time, but
I'd watch the whole thing if I were you. Zelensky
blew this deal up. There's another reason I would tell
you that Zelensky blew the deal up because when Zelensky
had the opportunity to apologize for it, he utterly failed

(08:50):
to do so. He didn't come anywhere near apologizing for
what took place. In fact, he refused to apologize. So
I'm not hearing from you, mister president. Thought that you
owe the president and apology.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
Now, I respect the president and I respect American people,
and if I don't know, if I think that we
have to be very open and very honest, and I'm
not sure that we did something bad, I think maybe
sometimes some some things we have to discuss, So just stop.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
No, I don't own apology. I respect the American people,
and oh, by the way, I respect Trump too, And
if something went wrong, I don't, I don't.

Speaker 5 (09:37):
I don't know what it was.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
I sam, I don't know what happened. He had a
perfect opportunity on national television to apologize and say that,
you know, I really would like to apologize for the
way the meeting went, and I'd like to go back
because I want piece as much as President Trump does.

(09:59):
You know, would have been smart about that. That would
have put the onus on Trump. That would have put
that would have shifted the onus to Trump to say, oh, okay,
well then let's bunce you stay in the country. Uh,
I got things to do this weekend. But uh, you
know what, maybe I'll cancel it or once you come
down tomorrow logo, or guess what, we can meet on Monday,

(10:20):
then we'll sign the deal Monday. That would have been
a brilliant move on Zelenski's part, but he had been
trained not to do that. It's a weekend with Michael Brown.
You can send me a text message if you agree
or disagree. I'd like to hear what you think. Three
three ones zero three. Just use the keyword Mike or Michael,
and really you ought to follow me on X at

(10:40):
Michael Brown USA. I'll be right back. Hey, welcome back
to the Weekend with Michael Brown. Have you thought about
my question if because you can have two thoughts, two
simultaneous thoughts that are both true and conflict. I'm opposed

(11:01):
to Vladimir Putin. I'm opposed to his aggression in Ukraine.
I think he had to be pushed out, but I
don't want American troops to do it. If the British
want to do it, that's fine, but we need some
agreement before they move in that they can invoke invoke
Article five of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and draw

(11:23):
us into that conflict. I think a better solution is
to start rebuilding and put American business into Ukraine and
Putin knows he'll have to back off. Putin is a dictator,
he's a thug, but he's not stupid, not stupid at all.

(11:43):
You know, I keep thinking of a friend of mine
that was heavily Moldova. If you look on the map,
you know I told you at the very begin of
the program, look on the map and look at all
the countries surrounding Ukraine, and you'll see all these old
and didn't exist at the time, but same land land
area the old Soviet Empire. Well, Moldova a little country

(12:06):
kind of on this on the on the southwest corner
of Ukraine. This friend of mine, uh spent considerable time there,
I think at least a year, maybe longer, helping them
as they became independent, to create their own judicial system.
And so he's got a he has a real, uh,
heartfelt presence in Moldova, and he understands the threat that

(12:29):
Putin is to the old Eastern Bloc countries, and so
he really wants Putin stopped. But the reality is to
stop Putin with the US military reminds me of a
certain actor that read the Riot Act to another certain

(12:50):
actor one time that explained just exactly what that would
really mean. Snotty little beast you're on.

Speaker 6 (12:57):
I'd like to ask for a recess.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
I'd like to answer the question, Judge. The corpor will
wait for an answer.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
If Lieutenant Kendrick gave an order that Santiago wasn't to
be touched, then why did he have to.

Speaker 6 (13:09):
Be transferred, Colonel.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
Lieutenant Kin recorded the code red Denny because that's what
you told Lieutenant Kendrick to do.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
These guys loose your honor.

Speaker 6 (13:23):
You doctored the log book, Colonel, did you order?

Speaker 3 (13:30):
You don't have to answer that question.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
I'll answer the question you want answers.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
I think I'm entitled.

Speaker 6 (13:36):
You want answer the truth.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
You can't handle the truth.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Son.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
We live in a world that has walls, and those
walls have to be guarded by men with guns.

Speaker 6 (13:46):
Who's gonna do it? You?

Speaker 1 (13:48):
You, Lieutenant Weinberg, I have a greater responsibility than you
can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse
the Marines. You have that luxury, You have the luxury
of not knowing what I know that Santiago's death, while tragic,
probably saved lives, and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
To you, saves lives.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
You don't want the truth because deep down in places
you don't talk about at parties, you want me on
that wall. You need me on that wall. We use
words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as
the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use
them as a punchline.

Speaker 6 (14:32):
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain
myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the
blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then
questions the manner in which I provide it.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
I would rather you just said thank you and went
on your way.

Speaker 6 (14:46):
Otherwise I suggest you pick up a weapon and.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
Stand a post.

Speaker 6 (14:50):
Either way, I don't give a damn what you think
you are entitled to do. You order the code writ
I did the job, did God, I'm right?

Speaker 3 (15:00):
I did, just trying to inject the little humor, but
it's serious humor, because that's what our soldiers do now.
They may not do exactly what Jack Nicholson did in
a few good Men, but it's the same. They take
up weapons, they stand guard, they stand a post, and

(15:25):
they kill when they have to to ensure our freedoms.
Is that what you want in Ukraine? I don't think
Americans have the stomach for it right now. And I
understand that to some people who pound their chest and
claim that we've got to stand up to Putin, Trump's

(15:46):
offering a different way to stand up to Putin. And
it was ugly, But why was it ugly because the
guy that is running the country right now in Ukraine
doesn't understand exactly that there's a new sheriff in town
and we're going we're going to do this, but we're
going to do it our way, and if you don't

(16:06):
like it, then you can run to the Brits as
he's already done, and you can try to get the
Brits to take care of you. Cheers on the streets outside.

Speaker 6 (16:16):
You have full backing Cross.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
And we sat with you with Ukraine for as long
as it take. And I hope you've heard that's Karmer,
the British Prime Minister. Sounds exactly like Joe Biden, doesn't it.
You have a you have the full backing across the
United Kingdom will be with you as long as it takes.
Do you think the people that Starmer claims is out

(16:42):
there cheering Zelensky on understand what that means the death
of British soldiers. Look, I understand that there are times
in a place when we will have to go to
war in order to protect this country the freedoms that

(17:03):
we believe in and to defend our allies. I don't
think this is that time and I think there's an alternate,
alternate method, and I think that alternate method has been
explained to us and shown to us precisely by Donald Trump.
We'll give you a security agreement. We'll give an economic
security agreement as opposed to a military security agreement. You

(17:29):
can have all of these different thoughts and you have
at the same time and still understand that. Oh, but
this is the real world.

Speaker 6 (17:37):
You see.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
When I talk about this stuff, I talk about it
from a point of view that's reality. So begin with
Michael Brown. Text line is three three one zero three
keywords or Mike or Michael. Go follow me on X
right now at Michael Brown USA. I'll be right back tonight.

(17:58):
Michael Brown joins me here.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Former FEMA director, talk show host Michael Brown.

Speaker 5 (18:02):
Brownie, no, Brownie, You're doing a heck of a job
the Weekend with Michael Brown.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
Hey, welcome back to the Weekend with Michael Brown. I'm
really glad to have you with me. I appreciate you
tuning in. We spent a lot of time today talking
about this blow up yesterday because you are going to
be bombarded by the cabal about how Donald Trump is
the one that's leading us to World War three, Donald
Trump is at fault for all of this. That JD

(18:27):
Vance was out of order for you know, why don't
you say thank you? And how dare you come to
the Oval office when when what we're trying to do
is to save your country. It reminds me of if
you if you understand anything about or remember anything from
from school about the Polyponnesian War, did you understand that

(18:52):
there was a point where during that war, Uh, Athens,
it's uh the Milanian diet, Yeah, the Malanian Milanian dialogue.
That's when Athens confronted this tiny island Miloss. Meloss at

(19:16):
the time was a neutral ally of Sparta, and Athens
wanted my loss, this little island surrender its neutrality to spread,
you know, to be loyal to Athens. Well, the leaders
of the little island resisted, and then Athens says, well,
you either surrender or we're going to destroy you. And

(19:36):
then the argument, you know, kind of fell into this,
you know what's moral and what's not moral. You're not
being fair to us. We're a tiny little country, a
tiny little island. Uh. And and perhaps the most famous
bit of of that particular history, the Athenians explain that
the right as the world goes, what's right or wrong,

(19:59):
the right the world goes is only in question between
equal power, while the strong do what they can and
the weak suffer what they must. Now, that's pretty tough,
and it's probably an anathema to you to think like that,
because it's pretty brutal and it's pretty ugly, But it's

(20:23):
actually virtuous in the sense that it's a real description
of the way the world does actually work. You ever
read mcavelly, mcavelly kind of understood it. Mcavelly kind of understands.
If you read anything about mcavelly and mcavelly and politics,
he'll tell you this is exactly how it plays out.

(20:44):
And Zelenski doesn't get it. He doesn't. In that performance
in front of the President, the Vice President, the Secretary
of State, the National Security Advisor, and the assembled press,
he acted like a spoiled child, shouting telling them that
Ukraine was the aggrieved party. And you know, Trump said

(21:07):
something I thought was important. Trump noted how much Zelensky
hates Putin, and I'm certain that Trump understands that hatred
of Putin, but he explained that Zelensky was not in
any position to negotiate terms. That's when he said, you
don't have any cards, and Zelensky pointed out that we're

(21:29):
not playing cards. Well, what Trump was pointing out is
that he wants to end the killing, and that you
can't end the killing. You can't enter these negotiations. You can't.
You can't. I can't act as a mediator if I
abuse the other party, in this case Putin while trying
to coddle up to you. In fact, Trump said, quote,

(21:51):
you want me to say really terrible things about Putin
and then say, i' Vladimir, how are we going to
do this deal? It doesn't work that way. Trump said,
I'm not aligned with anybody. I'm aligned with the United
States of America and for the good of the world.
And that's exactly right. But I think for some people,

(22:12):
I think the very pleasure of just abusing Vladimir Putin
in public, they want Trump to do that, even though
that could risk World War III. And so then then
the cabal is shocked, as was Zelensky's own ambassador, who
could see that Zelensky was making just absolute a pile

(22:33):
of dog poop out of the press conference. You see
Zelensky's accustomed to being the moral hero. That's why he
runs immediately ran off to the United Kingdom. Oh, I'm
just a poor little coy. I'm just I'm not trying
to fight off Boom. We under you know what. We
get that. But you're asking us just like the little

(22:56):
island of Milos was asking the Athenians to you know what,
don't give us, just be nice to us. And Athens
was like, you know, in this world it's the powerful
versus the week and in this case, you know what,
screw you. We're taking you. Either surrender, we're taking you. Well.
Trump understands that too, and Trump's saying, I'm not going

(23:18):
to play games with Putin or with you. I'm going
to try to mediate negotiate a settlement between the two
of you, and I can't place side one side or
the other. In fact, I've come to you first with
an agreement that will help rebuild your country's economy and
put us with Instead of boots on the ground, it'll
be work boots on the ground. It'll be men in

(23:39):
suits on the ground. It'll be business people, office people.
They're going to be there trying to build rebuild your
economy based on your rare earth elements. That's where this
ended up. And that's precisely why I go back to
General Keane, who truly understood what was going on in

(24:01):
this entire meeting. It's really important to listen to what
he has to say. Let me see if I can.
I had him pulled up now and where did it
go all this time? And I can't find General Keane?

Speaker 5 (24:14):
Here we go two for the study of war. General
your thoughts about the deal that is going to be
coming down today and they're going to announced it about
eleven o'clock.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Well, I think it's overwhelmingly positive. And certainly both sides
had a compromise to get the deal, which is pretty
normal and certainly something President Trump is used to seeing.
And why is it so positive? Well, look at it.
It ties the United States to Ukraine for a generation

(24:44):
in terms of exploration and mining for these rare minerals.
It ties us economically, politically, and obviously with an unbelievable
interest in the future security of Ukraine. Why because if
war can there's no exploration, exploration, there's no construction going on,
there's no mining going on during a conflict, that's for sure.

(25:08):
And putin you know full well does not like this deal.
So this deal is in the United States and Ukraine's
interest and that's what makes it a good deal general.

Speaker 5 (25:19):
As you know, in twenty fourteen they stopped fighting and
the ceasefire was breached in twenty twenty two with the invasion.
This time allies are saying we're going to put a
peacekeeping force of maybe thirty thousand there. The UK said,
you can count us in. Looks like France too, not US.
But you say that's a non starter for Russia, Well,
that's a stop for that's also a non starter for

(25:41):
the West.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Well, I think it remains to be seen if Putin
is really going to negotiate, and that means be willing
to make some compromise. He's already come in with a
hardline position at the negotiations that took place yesterday where
they said they want more territory than what they're occupying.
Wants Ukraine to demlitarize. He wants them to have an
election so he can undermine that election successfully as he's

(26:06):
done very much in the past, that hopefully get a
stootion there that he can influence and control. He wants
Ukraine to go down to eighty five thousand troops only
and only be able to fire a missile forty kilometers
twenty five to thirty miles. In other words, So those
are very hard line positions. It remains to be seeing

(26:27):
how much progress we're going to make here. But Putin
has got major military problems and personnel problems coming in
twenty five. There's a lot more pressure inside on Putin
than what is recognized publicly. Ukraine going into this, they mentioned,
as we just discussed here, they want some future security

(26:47):
here and certainly Euros providing peacekeeping forces a step in
that direction. But listen, here's what we do know, Brian.
If we get a deal and there is ceasefire and
some kind of an agreement, Putin will look at that
as a temporary pause. In the meantime, China, Iran and
North Korea will continue to arm him. Sanctions relief likely

(27:10):
will take place. That'll give him the opportunity to recover
his defense industrial base. President Zelenski knows this, that Trump
team know this. What else could we do then the
strength in Ukraine to deter Putin? We can help him
build an F sixteen air force, give him long range missiles.
Air defense systems are Tory weapons, all the things that

(27:33):
we've done that have helped them make a difference, just
not in time to be decisive by the Biden administration.
More tanks and armored vehicles. The Trump team can come
up with their own list with Zelenski, but just to
give our audience a feel for what that would take place.
And guess what, Brian, there's no reason for the American
taxpayers to spend one dollar on this. Brian Jerremis Martis

(27:55):
and I wrote an op ed about this deal that's
coming right now on rare, minimal but also using Russian
frozen assets, and the State Department can issue loans. They
just issued a foreign military funding loan to Poland eleven
billion dollars. It's a loan. What is Poland going to
do with that? Build up their defense industrial base. We

(28:16):
can do much the same Mew Ukraine and take the
American taxpayer off the table, but strengthen Ukraine in terms
of their own security to deter a future attack from Russia,
which Zelenski knows will come at some point.

Speaker 5 (28:34):
So interesting because you could tell putin, yeah, how do
you if you want that hardline, if you walk away
from the table, you're not going to like what's what's
going to happen in Ukraine, So there's going to be
a price to pay. Also, does he want to alienate
Donald Trump the first month of an administration.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
Who's got to.

Speaker 5 (28:49):
Deal with for the next four years.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
It's the question is.

Speaker 5 (28:51):
How much pain is Vladimir Putin and his country in general?

Speaker 3 (28:55):
I brilliant King lays it out exactly the way I
believe that Trump and his team are playing this deal. Now,
when we get back, I want to caution you because
what you're going to hear from the cabal is just
the opposite that. Oh my god. And remember, as I

(29:16):
said at the very beginning of the program, the left
always does what they're doing. What they are, what they
accuse us of doing is what they are actually doing.
That's next. They'll be right back as I always do

(29:36):

then while you're at it, don't forget. Do me a favor,
go follow me on X. It's at Michael Brown USA,
at Michael Brown USA. So I would conclude the program
by saying that what we witnessed was unfortunate. This is

(31:03):
the kind of thing. Look, I've seen I've seen a
president blow as top in private. He blew his top
at me one time in private. There's nothing there's nothing
like the president of the United States getting pissed off
at you about something that you said and then blowing
up chew while you're stuck right next to him in
the beast going going back to marine one is that

(31:24):
that'll humble you very very quickly. But the only time
I ever saw Bush really get irritated and angry or
yell at anybody, he was always in private. That's why
I have a lot of uh not a lot of
respect for people like well, may you're rest in peace,
people like John McCain. I saw Sandra McCain on numerous

(31:45):
occasions yell at his staff in front of in front
of people in a you know, like at a dinner.
It's just totally uncalled for. But this was set up
as a press conference, and you don't if you understand
diplomacy at all, you know, Zelensky goes on Brett Bear afterwards.

(32:10):
I made sure I watched the entirety of that interview
because I really did think that Zelensky would get back
in the suv and his ambassador to the United States,
and all his close advisors that would pile into the
car with him would say, I screwed it up big time.
So let's keep the Brett Bear the Fox News interview

(32:30):
on the schedule. And Bear's obviously going to ask you
if you'd like to apologize, and why don't you talk
about how you love everything that America has done for you,
and that the NATO Alliance has done for you, and
that you apologize for having lost your cool, and you know,
even go so far if you want to, to say I
shouldn't have rolled my eyes and said some of the

(32:51):
things I said. I shouldn't have gotten an argument. First
of all. The other thing I wouldn't have done is
I would never have called the Vice President of the
United States jd in front of a national audience. Nobody,
nobody that would be can you imagine had hit He
turned to Donald Trump and said, well, let me tell you, Donald,
you just don't do it and then just apologize on

(33:17):
national television and announced that you know, I'm sorry, and
you know, let's reset this. Uh my cabinet approved this deal.
Let's go back, let's sign the deal and move forward.
But he didn't do it? He simply what did he do?
He got on the plane and he immediately ran to
London and he got the Labor Party Prime minister, who's

(33:42):
destroying the UK by the way, And what did Starmer
tell him? Well, you're a those people cheering you out there,
Well we're behind you. We're we're behind you as long
as it takes exactly the same words as Joe Biden,
nothing about we need to bring this to an end.
We're with you. We'll give you what you need to win. Know,
We're just with you whatever it takes. It's truly giving

(34:03):
the American Express card to a teenage girl and saying, hey,
have fun, and then getting pissed off when she spent,
you know, a couple of million dollars and you had,
you know, you got a couple of hundred thousand in
the bank. You tend to get irritated. And we all
know we're dealing with a thug in Moscow. Hell's Bells.
I personally knew his still due he's no longer the

(34:25):
Defense Minister. And the guy scared me because I thought
he was that brutal, that awful of a human being.
But I dealt with him nonetheless, that's who we're dealing with.
So I think the security agreement, this economic agreement, is
a good thing, and I think it needs to be done.

(34:47):
It's it's a way to avoid a protracted and the
possibility of it turning into an Archduke Ferdinand moment and
blowing up into World War III. Let's not forget. You
cannot look at what's happening in Ukraine in isolation, China
and North Korea already supporting Putin. Trump sees an opportunity

(35:11):
to draw some sort of distance between Ujing Ping, Kim
Jong un, and Vladimir Putin. Let him do that, Chijing Ping.
Nobody's paying attention to this in the news. Chijing Ping
is doing live fire practices in the Taiwan Straits. They're
cutting internet cables, they're cutting communication cables. Talk about nord

(35:34):
Stream pipeline. Everybody gets ballistic about that, and nobody talks
about what's going on in the Strait of Taiwan. Japan's
paying attention, South Korea's paying attention. The Philippines are being
their their space, their international waters are being incur are
being infringed by the Chinese Communist Party. Everybody just yawns

(35:55):
we're facing two great threats, and we're all focused on
a stupid meeting that most Americans have not watched the
entirety of, and quite frankly, a meeting that should have
been held in private. I don't know why it was
done this way. Sign, sign the agreement, and then as

(36:17):
you sit at the table in the east room, hold
your press conference. Then thanks for tuning in, don't forget
follow me on x at Michael Brown USA, and if
you have any comments, the text lines three to three
one zero three keyword micro Michael. It's always open. Everybody,
have a great weekend and I'll see you next Saturday.
