By Viewing Putin as 'The Boss' , Trump Does Not Have One leg Up Over Russia! (recorded 8-15-25)

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, folks, Well you heard about Terminolo's take earlier today.
Well I'm back because I want to stick to my
promise of also giving you news that as taxpayers we
should care about. And yes, just like it was in
twenty eighteen, the Trump Putin summit mattered a lot today

(00:21):
and in its entirety. Basically, here's what Donald Trump, the
President United States, had to say about today's meeting with
Vladimir Putin.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
So, just to put it very quickly, I'm going to
start making a few phone calls and tell them what happened.
But we had an extremely productive meeting and many points
were agreed to, and there are just a very few
that are left. Some are not that significant. One is
probably the most significant. But we have a very good

(00:53):
chance of getting there. We didn't get there, but we
have a very good chance of getting there. I believe
we had a very productive meeting. There were many many
points we agreed on most of them. I would say
a couple of big ones that we haven't quite gotten there,
but we've made some headway.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
So there's no deal until there's a deal.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
I will call up NATO in a little while, will
call up the various people that I think are appropriate,
and of course call up Presidents Olensky and tell them
about today's meeting.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
It's ultimately up to them.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
They're going to have to agree with what Marco and
Steve and some of the great people from the Trump
administration who've come here, Scott and John Ratliffe, thank you
very much.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
I would like to.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Thank President Putin in his entire team, whose faces, who
I know in many cases otherwise other than that, whose
faces I get to see all the time in the newspapers.
You're very You're almost as famous as the Boss, but
especially this one right over here.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
But we had some good meetings of the years, right.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Good productive meetings over the years, and we hope to
have that in the future.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
But let's see the most productive one right now. We're
going to stop.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Really five six, seven thousand, thousands of people a week
from being killed, and President Putin wants.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
To see that as much as I do.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
So again, mister President, i'd like to thank you very much,
and we'll speak to you very soon and probably see
you again very soon.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Thank you very much. Vladimir next time in Moscow.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Oh, that's an interesting one. I'll get a little heat
on that one. But I could see it possibly happening.
Thank you very much, Latimir, and thank you all, thank you,
thank you, thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
My incant reaction here on one leg up with Alex
Garrett is I think he was a little more forceful,
but he still made a couple of remarks that we're
head scratching. I mean, why are you calling Vladimir Putin
the boss?

Speaker 3 (02:57):
You're almost as famous as the boss.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
You are the president of the United States. You should
be feeling the boss energy yourself. And I get it,
all right while he's talking to his Russian you know,
uh people, his staff or whatever. But to me, admitting

(03:21):
on a global stage that Putin is the boss should
not be taken with a grain of salt. I thought
today he should come out tougher and stronger, and maybe
behind closed doors he did not cave to Putin. But
when he says.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
This, you're almost as famous as the boss.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
It raises an eyebrow or two. And I hope that
a he doesn't go to Moscow. That would be really
bad and a bad look. But secondly, I hope that
he can hear Zelenski out on this, and he can
also truly navigate a deal but not through calling Putin

(04:12):
the boss. That's just not right, especially when Tony lentto
the Yankees here. Donald Trump was a guest of the
Boss George Steinbrenner, who I'm sure would be very upset
right now if he heard that Donald Trump called Putin

(04:36):
the boss in air quotes. He's a dictator, President Trump.
He's not a boss. He's not anything clever, and he
needs to be shut down before more hell is unleashed
in Ukraine. You don't have one leg up in this

(04:56):
deal if you call him the boss, and you did,
and it'd be even worse if you went to Moscow now,
So don't think about that, and think about the way
you're talking about him. It's like you're not admonishing him at.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
All when you call him the bus.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
So please, next meeting, I only invite Zelenski. I know
you had the EUIF with him in February, but also,
for the love of God, be stronger with the guy
with Putin. Don't make him feel all appease and all
that other stuff. Just get a deal and not be

(05:40):
fancy about it. Sincerely, this US taxpayer, Alexander Garrett
