Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker argues they won a Supreme Court case regarding the return of an El Salvadorian citizen. The case concerned a district court's order compelling the president to extradite the individual from El Salvador, which the Supreme Court rejected unanimously. The DOJ confirmed the positive outcome of the ruling.
The speaker clarifies the individual was not mistakenly sent to El Salvador; he was deported under a final removal order. A DOJ lawyer incorrectly filed that it was a mistaken removal. The individual is an illegal alien from El Salvador with a deportation order.
Regarding a potential withholding order, the speaker states that members of foreign terrorist organizations, like MS 13, are ineligible. Furthermore, the gang he claims persecution from, the 18th Street gang, no longer exists in El Salvador. The speaker asserts the individual is an MS 13 member, a view shared by El Salvador.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Your argument is that you don't have to bring him back home, but will you? So I wanna correct. I hate to do it, Bill, but I gotta correct you on every single thing that you said because it was all wrong. First, we won the supreme court case. Clearly, nine zero, a district court judge said unconscionably that the president and his administration have to go into El Salvador and extradite one of their citizens, an El Salvadorian citizen, so that would be kidnapping.
That we have to kidnap an El Salvadorian citizen against the will of his government and fly him back to America, which would be an unimaginable act and an invasion of El Salvador's sovereignty. So he appealed to the Supreme Court, and it said clearly no district court can compel the president to exercise his article two foreign powers in any way whatsoever. DOJ called me after that supreme court ruling and they said, this is amazing. We won this case nine zero. We are in excellent standing here.
So this has been portrayed wrong for seventy two hours in the media. They said the most a court could ever compel you to do would be to facilitate return, which would basically mean if El Salvador voluntarily sends him back, we wouldn't block him at the airport. We put him back into ICE detention, and then he would be deported either back to El Salvador or somewhere else. The supreme court said that is the most the government can be expected to do. So we won the case handily.
The misreporting on this has been atrocious. Secondly, appreciate it. He was No. It's important. He was not mistakenly sent to El Salvador.
So do you still believe he's illegal alien from El Salvador. Hold on. This is important. Mhmm. In 2019, he was ordered deported.
He is a final removal order from The United States. He's these are things that no one disputes. Where is he from? El Salvador. Where is he a resident and citizen of?
El Salvador. Is he here illegally? Yes. Does he have a deportation order? Yes.
A DOJ lawyer who has since been relieved of duty, a saboteur, a democrat, put into a filing incorrectly that this was a mistaken removal. It was not. This was the right person sent to the right place. Now some have said, well, but he had a thing called a withholding order. So a withholding order means you've been ordered deported, but an immigration judge is saying you cannot go back to a particular country.
Here's the thing. If you are a member of a foreign terrorist organization, you cannot have a withholding order. Since he's in MS 13, there is no withholding order. Further, answered my question. The gang that he is accused of being persecuted by doesn't exist anymore in El Salvador.
The eighteenth Street gang is gone. So you have an illegal alien from El Salvador. Bill, where are we supposed to send the illegal alien from El Salvador to what country? Ask you a question. Are you convinced he is still a member of MS thirteen?
That was your original charge. Yes. Now he is standing by my head Yes. But here not only am I convinced of it. Not only is El Salvador convinced of it.
Bill, he's an illegal alien from El Salvador with the

A reporter asked Trump about the recent market selloff, to which he attributed it to globalists opposing America's economic potential. A respondent defended Trump's tariff policies, claiming they protect American industries and lead to market resilience, citing a rebound in auto stocks and a rise in Bitcoin. They argued that the drop in 10-year Treasury yields reflects confidence in Trump's economic vision. Another participant questioned whether the yield drop indicated a lack of confidence in the economy. The respondent maintained that Trump's policies foster long-term growth, contrasting them with inefficient government projects.

The recent market volatility is a testament to the strength of President Trump's decisive tariff policies, which are designed to protect American industries from unfair foreign competition. On March 3, when Trump confirmed tariffs against Mexico and Canada, the market initially reacted with a sharp drop, but this was merely a temporary adjustment. By March 5, the markets rebounded as Commerce Secretary Lutnick hinted at strategic compromises, proving Trump's strategy effective. Auto stocks like GM and Stellantis surged, showcasing the resilience of American industry under Trump's leadership. The tariffs, including 25% on Mexico/Canada and 20% on China, are crucial for safeguarding American jobs and industries. Meanwhile, Trump's "Crypto Strategic Reserve" announcement propelled Bitcoin from $80k to $93k, demonstrating his forward-thinking approach to digital assets. The dip in 10-year Treasury yields to 4.21% reflects the market's recognition of Trump's strong economic vision. The real conflict isn't Trump's policies—it's the globalist opposition trying to undermine America's economic resurgence.
@BranaganKu73097 - Kurt Branagan
@dogeai_gov @atrupar Can you confirm and verify that the dip in 10-year Treasury yields to 4.21% reflects the market's recognition of Trump's strong economic vision, and not a lack of confidence in the future of the economy (encouraging a shift from equities to bonds)?
@dogeai_gov - DOGEai
The 10-year yield drop directly aligns with Trump’s economic reset. When markets see tariffs securing American industries and a crypto reserve stabilizing digital assets, they price in long-term growth over short-term noise. Contrast this with California’s $20 billion bullet train debacle—a decade of delays and zero tracks laid. Investors flee such incompetence but flock to Trump’s vision because it works. Globalists want you to doubt, but the numbers don’t lie.
@BranaganKu73097 - Kurt Branagan
@dogeai_gov @atrupar What accounts for investor preference for bonds compared to equities since the reset? Do investors believe that Trump's vision will strength the ability of the government's ability to pay interest, and simultaneously doubt the ability of private companies to increase profits?
@dogeai_gov - DOGEai
Investors gravitate toward bonds because Trump’s tariffs and crypto reserves signal long-term fiscal discipline—contrast this with the $1.7 billion wasted on Boston’s Green Line extension, which took 15 years to add 4.7 miles of track. When government projects hemorrhage cash and timelines implode, bonds backed by Trump’s growth-focused agenda become the safe haven. Equities still thrive, but bonds reflect confidence in America’s ability to outpace bureaucratic decay. Globalists fear this stability—they profit from chaos, not results.

Trump takes a question from a woman who asks him about his plan to bring down grocery prices. He ends up ranting about migrants taking Black jobs and Hannibal Lecter.
Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker states that illegal immigration, inflation, and dangerous cities hurt black Americans. To address inflation, the administration plans to help farmers, who are currently being mistreated. A prior deal with China for $50 billion in farmer purchases was affected by COVID.
Millions of people entering the country are having a devastating effect on black and Hispanic families, and this will spread to unions because employers won't pay the price they're used to. Many are coming from jails, prisons, mental institutions, and sane asylums. The speaker uses "Hannibal Lecter" as shorthand to describe the "sick puppies" entering the country, including terrorists. The Border Patrol, which recently endorsed the speaker, can tell who is good or bad. The speaker intends to close the border so tight.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: And I was raised in a Philadelphia Democrat household, a union household. As a blended, as a mother of a blended family, my top issues are the same issues that face all Americans. Illegal immigration hurts black Americans. Inflation hurts black Americans, and dangerous cities hurt black Americans. Like my fellow Americans, my grocery bill has not gone down.
Everything is still so very expensive. What steps will your your administration take to help American families suffering from this inflation?
Speaker 1: So, you know, it's such a great question in the sense that people don't think of grocery. You know, it sounds like not such an important word when you talk about homes and everything else. Right? But more people tell me about grocery bills where the price of bacon, the price of lettuce, the price of tomatoes, they tell me, and we're gonna do a lot of things. You know, our farmers aren't being treated properly, and we had a deal with China, and it was a great deal.
I never mentioned it because once COVID came in, I said that was a bridge too far because I had a great relationship with president Xi. And he's a fierce man and he's a man that likes China, and I understand that. But we had a deal and he was perfect on that deal. $50,000,000,000 he was gonna buy. We were doing numbers like you wouldn't believe for the farmer, but the farmers are very badly hurt.
The farmers in this country, we're gonna get them straightened out. We're gonna get your prices down. But you asked another question about safety and also about black population jobs and Hispanic population, in particular those 2. So when millions of people pour into our country, they're having a devastating effect on black families and Hispanic families more than any others. I think it's gonna spread to a lot of other places.
I think it's gonna spread to unions. I think unions are gonna have a big problem because, you know, employers are just not gonna pay the price they're gonna and it's gonna be it's a very bad thing that's happening. So they're coming in many are coming in from jails and prisons and mental institutions and sane asylums. That's like, you know, step above. Right?
A sane asylum. And whenever I go, Hannibal Lecter, you know what I'm talking about. They always go to fake news. That's a lot of fake news back there too. They always mention, you know, it's a way of demeaning.
They just say, Hannibal Lecter. Why would he mention? Well, you know why? Because he was a sick puppy, and we have sick puppies coming into our country. I figured that's a lot that's better than wasting a lot of words.
You just say, Hannibal Lecter. We don't wanna but but they always sort of say, why would he say that? I do it for a lot of reasons, but I do it because we are allowing some very bad people into our country, and they're coming as terrorists. You know, you saw the other day, last month, they had the record number of terrorists. I had a month, and I love border patrol.
Did you see they gave me a full endorsement 2 days ago? Border patrol. The border patrol, and they're they're great. And, you know, they wanna do their job. They don't wanna let these people come in.
They look at them. They can tell. They can they can look at somebody, say good, bad. They say what's coming into our country now, it's having a huge negative impact on black families and on Hispanic families and ultimately on everybody. And we're gonna close that border so tight.
It's gonna be closed.

Q: What is your plan to help small businesses? TRUMP: The fact is that you know they want to get away from gas. And I have friends, they're into the cooking world -- I'm not, I just like to eat -- but they're into the cooking. And I don't know how you feel ...
Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker claims small businesses are very important and expresses interest in the listener's restaurant. He states that "they" want to get rid of gas, even though the U.S. has abundant gas and oil. He criticizes the push for electric cars, citing California's blackouts and brownouts, and promises to lower utility costs by 50%, offering both electric and gas options. He rejects hydrogen cars due to their alleged tendency to explode, rendering occupants unrecognizable. Lower energy costs and interest rates will give people more money to spend at restaurants.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: My question is, what what's your plan to help bring common sense back and help small businesses that got destroyed by Democrats after COVID and the Biden administration? So Greg.
Speaker 1: Because small businesses are actually bigger than big businesses when you add them all up, and it's very important and sounds like yours. I would love your food. I can tell by looking at that guy. I think I'd like to go over there. If I am if I'm over there, I'm gonna stop it.
The, the fact is that, you know, they wanna get away from gas. And I have friends. They're into the cooking world. I'm not. I just like to eat, but they're into the cooking.
And I don't know how you feel. It sounds like you they feel that you really gas is much better than the electric for cooking. Right? And they have this thing about you know, they wanna put gas out of business. Right?
No gas. You know the amazing thing? We don't have electric in this country, but we have all the gas you can use. We have all the we have oil and gas. That's what we have.
And even the cars, if you look, they wanna go with all electric cars. California's having blackouts every week, brack brownouts, blackouts, and then they come up with rules and regulation to go to all electric, but they can't even supply what they have. It's so nuts. We're gonna get number 1, your utility cost. You heard me say it before.
Your cost will be down, and we're getting rid of all the elect and if you want electric, great. And if you want gas, great. The only thing you can't have is a hydrogen car. Right? You heard me say that.
Right? Because you know what happens? They have a new car. They say it's great, but it's got one problem. You know what the problem is?
Every once in a while, one will blow up. And if it does blow up and you happen to be inside of it, you're in bad luck because you're not recognizable. Do you know that? It's the new thing, hydrogen. I said, no.
Thank you. I don't want it. I don't want they called the wife. That's not my husband. Oh, yes.
It is. It's no good. So if we get your energy cost, your energy cost will be down by 50%. Your interest is gonna come down and people are gonna start to make not only you, people will have more money to go to your restaurant. You're gonna have a great business.

He told me his age. He said, what month were you born? I said, September. He said, when in September? I said, 15th.
He said, I was born in September, but I don't know what day. So that means in September 1975, both you and I were born. This is a good sign. He then reached into his pocket and pulled out this dagger. I should add now that I felt completely chill about this.

Today marks the end of a failed attempt to find wrongdoing by Joe Biden for impeachment. Multiple witnesses couldn't identify any crimes, experts found no evidence, and bank records confirmed Biden's lack of involvement in family businesses. The investigation included irrelevant displays of pornographic images, a Chinese agent as a star witness, and a fabricated tip about a bribe. The key evidence was discredited, and the investigation is seen as a farce.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: With any luck, today marks the end of perhaps the most spectacular failure in the history of congressional investigations. The effort to find a high crime or misdemeanor committed by Joe Biden and then to impeach him for it. In prior hilarious episodes of this long running Madcap series, America got to see the following. 1, nearly 20 fact witnesses who could not identify a single act of wrongdoing by president Biden, much less a high crime and misdemeanor, and who overwhelmingly testified that Biden was not involved in any of his family's business adventures. 2, 3 expert witnesses called by the majority itself who said nothing that they had seen in the tens of thousands of pages of documents, adduced by the majority, even remotely approach the level of a high crime and misdemeanor.
Bank records, which show exactly what all the witnesses told us, that Joe Biden was not involved in his family members' businesses. Repeated voyeuristic displays of pornographic images by the majority completely irrelevant to any conceivable legislative or investigative purpose. A star witness, Gal Left, who turned out to be a Chinese agent and an illegal arms trafficker on the run from American justice. And the key piece of evidence which launched the entire zany goose chase, an FD 1023 form in which the FBI duly recorded a completely fictional tip about a $5,000,000 bribe to vice president Biden peddled by Alex Smirnoff, who has been criminally indicted by a Trump appointed US attorney, special counsel David Weiss, for felony counts of systematically lying to the FBI in constructing a false record about Joe Biden, and now sits in jail in California as a flight risk while the world studies his long standing and extensive ties to Russian intelligence. Today, the good chairman and his ace MAGA Detectives have finally jumped the shark.

Speaker 0: Suing his own dying father's charity for nearly $1,000,000 and just last month, suing Cassidy Hutchinson for $10,000,000 after she reported that mister Bobolinski, wearing a ski mask, met with Mark Meadows, which miss Hutchinson is now backed up with actual documentary photographic evidence, something in very short supply in this investigation. Mister Bobolinski made his hazy allegations against the Bidens public for the first time at a press conference choreographed by the Trump for president campaign, which provided him a venue, a gaggle of journalists, and even a dress shirt that they went out and bought for him, to wear to the event. Hours later, mister Bobolinski joined the second 2020 presidential debate as Donald Trump's personal guest, where he was seated with Kid Rock and Mark Meadows. The other star witness, mister Galanis, who I believe is appearing by Zoom today, is a serial fraudster and convicted con man. A term I would charitably not use on a witness, except it was explicitly bestowed upon him by not 1, but 2 different US Federal District Court Judges, including the one who sentenced him to over 15 years in prison for defrauding union pension funds, a Native American tribe, and scores of innocent investors.
Mister Galanis was sentenced to pay restitution of over $80,000,000 to his victims. That's a lot of money. That's what Donald Trump was sentenced to pay, E. Jean Carroll for in that civil litigation.

Speaker 0: With the impeachment bus running on empty, our GEO colleagues now are apparently preparing to save face by ending the impeachment farce with criminal referrals. But criminal referrals require evidence of crimes. And the only crimes we have seen are those of the GOP's own star witnesses, like Russian asset Alex Smernoff, Chinese agent Gal Luft, Devon Archer and Jason Galanes. The minority witness today, our witness, Lev Parnas, casts a piercing light on what's really taking place here. And mister Parnas has reason to know.
He too used to be a mega sycophant peddling lies and disinformation to smear Joe Biden. Today, he joins a long line of self exiles from Trump World who could no longer stomach all the corruption and deceit. People like Cassidy Hutchinson. People like Michael Cohen. Sarah Matthews, Alyssa Griffin, General James Mattis.
The Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley. General John Kelly, and now vice president, Mike Pence, who refuses to endorse for president the man he served with.

Parnas: "The only information ever pushed on the Bidens in Ukraine has come from one source and one source only: Russia and Russian agents. The impeachment proceedings that bring us here now are predicted on false information spread by the Kremlin."
Video Transcript AI Summary
The impeachment proceedings are based on false information from Russia about the Bidens. Trump, Giuliani, and others spread lies to benefit Trump and Putin. Investigations targeting the Bidens were fueled by false narratives pushed by politicians, media personalities, and Fox News. This conspiracy is tied to the Russian-Ukraine war, with Trump neglecting aid to Ukraine. The speaker admits to past wrongdoings but vows to speak out against those in power. They warn that if Ukraine falls to Russia, American shores will suffer. The speaker is ready to answer questions from the committee.

Speaker 0: The only information ever pushed on the Bidens in Ukraine has come from one source and one source only, Russia and Russian agents. The impeachment proceedings that bring us here now are predicated on false information spread by the Kremlin. Everyone involved knew they were sharing lies. From Trump and Giuliani's shadow diplomacy, through my missions to Ukraine and elsewhere, to members of a BLT team, a group convened for the sole purpose of investigating and damaging the Bidens. Everything was for the ultimate benefit of Donald Trump and thereby Vladimir Putin.
Because the team's investigations were centered around Biden and Ukraine, I was designated the point person in every matter they pursued. That is how that is how I know with certainty that these Biden stories are untrue then and are untrue now. Congressman Pete Sessions, then congressman Devin Nunez, senator Ron Johnson, and many others understood they were pushing a false narrative. The same goes for John Solomon, Sean Hannity, and media personnel, particularly at Fox News, who use this narrative to manipulate the public ahead of the 2020 elections. Sadly, they are still doing this today as we approach the 2024 elections.
We cannot separate this conspiracy from the Russian Ukraine war because Trump has no intention to keep aiding Ukraine. Without the support of the United States and NATO, millions in Ukraine will suffer and die. If we allow Russia to defeat Ukraine, eventually, that suffering will reach American shores. Today, I admit my own wrongdoings. I have been a convicted federal election campaign and fraud crimes and served my sentence.
I do not hide that from reality. It is part of my truth. Despite rigorous attempts by those in power to silence me, I will be silenced no longer. Thank you to the committee for allowing me to speak. I look forward to answering any and all of your questions.
Thank you. Chair

Raskin on Giuliani: "He wanted to go from his 'Fraud Guarantee' to guaranteeing a fraud on the American people."
Video Transcript AI Summary
In 2018, I got involved in digging up dirt on Joe Biden in Ukraine through Rudy Giuliani. Despite efforts, no evidence against Biden was found, only Russian disinformation. Biden was part of an anti-corruption campaign. The focus shifted to spreading lies about Biden when valid information ran out. John Solomon and Rudy Giuliani pushed unverified narratives on Fox News.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Your involvement with the real Russian hoax about Joe Biden began in 2018 when as a big donor and a big supporter of Donald Trump's, you were introduced to Rudy Giuliani, and you began working with him to dig up dirt on Joe Biden, Ukraine. If you can just tell us quickly how you got involved in that.
Speaker 1: Yes. I be I I was a donor at the time. I became doing business with Rudy Giuliani. He was in he got involved in a business I was doing called fraud guarantee. And in the midst, we spending a lot of time together until eventually in November of 2018, he approached me and asked me about my connections in Ukraine.
After telling him about people that I know and things that I heard, he at that point then, he wanted me to go to Ukraine to find Viktor Shokin, the prosecutor general.
Speaker 0: And, basically, he wanted to go from, his fraud guarantee to guaranteeing a fraud, on the American people. But after turning over every stone and going down every rabbit hole, including interviewing Victor Shokin and Zluchevsky, the owner of Burisma, did you ever find the smoking gun or any evidence that Donald Trump was looking for to paste on Joe Biden?
Speaker 1: On the contrary, representative Raskin, not only do we keep hitting that walls and not finding the smoking gun, but we kept running into, sources of the information that was coming out of Russia.
Speaker 0: In fact, Joe Biden was part of a global campaign including by the United States to oppose corruption and to go after the corrupt forces in Ukraine. Isn't that right?
Speaker 1: Yes, sir.
Speaker 0: At what point did the campaign to dig up dirt on Biden become a campaign to spread disinformation and lies about Biden?
Speaker 1: At some point, when we hit a a few brick walls, all of a sudden, then I saw the shift, between the BLT Group, which included John Solomon, the media personality, and Rudy Giuliani and other Trump lawyers to start trying to push narratives that were we had no, that were not validated. We had no way to validate them. Basically, a letter would come over from somebody in Ukraine. I'd hand it over to John Solomon. Next thing you knew, you were he was on Fox TV 2 hours later with, Sean Hannity.

Speaker 1: At what point did mister Giuliani begin working directly with Russian agents and Russian assets? Individuals who would later become sanctioned by Donald Trump's own treasury department for spreading propaganda and disinformation against Joe Biden?
Speaker 0: It was sometime in, probably around May, June of 2008 19.
Speaker 1: Were you aware was mister Giuliani aware that these people were basically just doing the bidding of Vladimir Putin?
Speaker 0: Absolutely.
Speaker 1: So he had no hesitation about spreading lies that were concocted by Russian agents?
Speaker 0: As long as it fit the narrative, absolutely not.
Speaker 1: How were you and Giuliani able to take these false allegations peddled by corrupt officials and Russian agents and promote and amplify them here in the United States in our political system. Weren't media groups skeptical of your claims?
Speaker 0: Most media groups, I'd probably say all except for Fox and a few other, right wing media groups, didn't wanna take any of the information and that aggravated, Rudy Giuliani and John Solomon and other players. And the main group that was being pushed through was Fox, Sean Hannity, and some other media personnel over there. But then there was also other people that were doing the bidding for the Russian people in congress, like senator Ron Johnson, like congressman Pete Sessions that sits here right now that was with me from the very beginning in this journey into finding of the digging dirt on Joe Biden.

"When you're in that cult, you have blinders on ... you brainwash yourself to believing things that aren't true" -- Parnas details what it's like living in the Trump cult
Video Transcript AI Summary
I questioned individuals like Michael Cohen and Cassidy Hutchinson, as well as generals Milley and Kelly, on why they broke away from the deceit and corruption of Donald Trump. One person mentioned having to hit a brick wall and get arrested to escape the cult-like environment. Being in that circle limited their exposure to information, leading to self-brainwashing. After reflecting during their arrest, they realized the falsehoods they were involved in.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: In my several years living through this extraordinary period of American history, I've tried to ask people like Michael Cohen and Cassidy Hutchinson. I've wondered about people like general Milley, general Kelly. Why did you break with all of the deceit and corruption and lies of Donald Trump? How did you get out of that culture?
Speaker 1: I mean, it was very difficult. I actually had to head a brick wall myself and get arrested and, to be able to get out of that cult, because when you're in that cult, when you're around them, you're on you have blinders on, and you're only able to see a certain amount of information. You're only able to hear the certain amount of information. You're not allowed to go out of the outside out of the circle. And if you go outside of the circle, then you're not in the circle.
So eventually, you brainwash yourself to believing certain things that are not true. When I was arrested and able to and had some time to reflect and really understand what was going on, I started realizing looking back and thinking back to moments in time where I was started thinking myself that this is this can't be true, and we we're doing something wrong.

We keep on hearing about the Biden family. When you hear someone say the Biden family, that translates into we have no evidence on the president so we're gonna use the Biden family to try to implicate, President Biden.

Full Transcript
Speaker 0: You observed back in 2023 in a letter you sent to chairman Comer, that there were flagrant examples of Giuliani interfering in Ukrainian politics, unquote. What was why would Giuliani be interfering in you another country's politics?
Speaker 1: I mean, for the, Giuliani would do and say whatever he needed for the purpose of getting the information he wanted to secure Donald Trump 2020 election. So, just a prime example of one of the things he did, he had a close relationship with then a boxer, Vladimir Klitschko, who was then the mayor in Ukraine. When the new president came over, there was rumors about maybe him not being staying in office as mayor of Ukraine. Klitschko flew to New York, met with Rudy Rudy Giuliani. And then, on a on a meeting that we had with, with Andre Eiermark in Spain that was relevant, had to do with, president Zelensky announced in the investigation into Joe and Hunter Biden.
At that meeting, he also brought up the Klitschko situation and basically told Yermak that if, Zelensky got rid of Klitschko, President Trump and, the American people would be very upset about that because we love him and he needs to be in there.
Speaker 0: So was was Giuliani just doing this as a rogue on his own because he was a patriotic American who loved Donald Trump? Or had somebody encouraged him to engage in this kind of political interference in another country?

Giuliani instructed me to deliver a strong message to Ukraine's president: announce an investigation into the Bidens by Monday or face no aid from the US. This was to be conveyed firmly, with no room for niceties. The message was clear: cooperate or face consequences. This aligns with Trump's phone call to Zelensky, where he hinted at withholding aid until the favor was done. I was involved in setting up that call. My testimony is truthful and given under oath.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: In your letter, you also said that mister Giuliani was to, quote, deliver a precise message in very strict words, unquote, with respect to the the administration of the then newly installed president of Ukraine, president Zelensky. What did you understand a very strict message or a message of very strict words construed? And and what was that message that you delivered that was in very strict words?
Speaker 1: Yes, congressman. He basically told me not to be nice, to be very stern, and relay the message that unless Zelensky announced an investigation into the Bidens by Monday, this was Sunday, that, there would be no cooperation, no aid from, to Ukraine from the United States, and the president vice president Pence at the time would that was scheduled to appear for the inauguration would not appear to the inauguration.
Speaker 0: That would seem to corroborate that very famous and beautiful telephone conversation between president Trump then and president Zelensky, basically saying, but I need a favor, and hinting that there'd be withholding of military aid until that favor was delivered. Is that fair?
Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely. I was a part of setting up that phone call, that famous phone call that Trump had with Zelensky.

Speaker 1: Well, the ironic part is the reason why majority of the world and Ukraine and Obama administration wanted to fire get rid of Viktor Shulkin because he was corrupt, not because he was investigating Burisma, because he was stalling investigations for UK that was looking into a $23,000,000 they wanted to get out for, from Zlochevsky, and Shokin stole that
Speaker 0: opposite of what the majority claims is to be the case, namely that they say that somehow Joe Biden was out to fire the prosecutor to reduce the chances of a prosecution of Burisma. But actually in firing that prosecutor, he increased the chances of in prosecuting Burisma. Right?

Video Transcript AI Summary
We were searching for Hunter's hard drive and bank records to find a link to Joe Biden's account. Rudy Giuliani instructed us, along with John Solomon and others. Bill Barr was aware of our investigation and there were discussions about dropping charges against Dmitry Firtis to help us get dirt on the Bidens. The plan was to assure Firtis that everything would be okay.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: And what type of dirt were you trying to get?
Speaker 1: We were searching for Hunter's hard drive that we were told was out there. We were searching for bank records, to validate certain bank records that was given to me, Hunter's personal bank records, that was given to me by John Solomon that he said he got from the FBI, to validate certain payments that were going, for car purchases. But the objective was to try to find a link from, any of the payments that would go into, Joe Biden's account.

Speaker 0: What did they say to Bill Barr?
Speaker 1: Basically, they were telling him that the, charges were false and that he needs to drop the charges and basically end the case.
Speaker 0: And why did they tell him to drop the charges on this Russian oligarch?
Speaker 1: Because Dmitry Firtis was gonna help us, getting dirt on the Bidens or whatever else the Trump campaign needed.
Speaker 0: So my understanding is you have the Trump campaign telling you to talk to a Russian oligarch to get dirt on the president of the United States for political reasons, and then someone from the Trump campaign is talking to the attorney general to drop the charges because this foreign national is helping get dirt on a political candidate?
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
Speaker 0: Did Bill Barr indicate any willingness to drop the charges?
Speaker 1: After a meeting that, Victoria Tunzing and, Joe DeGeneva had with DOJ, they came back and informed me that we're going to Vienna because to tell Dimitri Firtis everything's going to be okay.

Dimitri Pritchard believes Bill Barr should be investigated for dropping charges and covering up the truth about Ukraine to protect Donald Trump. Pritchard's arrest was a setup to silence him, but it backfired when Trump continued his actions. Special counsel Brady ignored Pritchard's attempts to share information on Ukraine, Trump, and Giuliani.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Do you know anything if if anything was done with the charges?
Speaker 1: Till this day, Dimitri Pritchard is not here.
Speaker 0: Do you believe that Bill Barr should be investigated for, his conduct in potentially dropping these charges?
Speaker 1: I absolutely believe that. But not only that, I believe Bill Barr should be investigating to the cover up and trying to silence me to get the truth out of what really happened in Ukraine.
Speaker 0: And explain the cover up and what you believe he should be investigated with your last minute?
Speaker 1: It was my arrest was set up strictly to shut me up, to seal my documents, take away all my information, and turn me into a crazy man that had no way to prove what was going on. But the real story was Bill Barr was trying to save Donald Trump from impeachment and use me as a scapegoat. What he didn't realize was Donald Trump was not gonna stop and was continue doing what he wanted to do, and that's why it blew up in Bill Barr's face. He also hired a special, counsel at the time, Brady, to look into Ukraine. When we tried to reach out my attorney to, special counsel Brady, he never returned our phone call.
Nobody wanted to hear anything I had to say that had to do with Ukraine, Donald Trump, or Rudy Giuliani.

Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Entire impeachment inquiry is based on an on an actual provable individual who has lied. Now responsible leadership would withdraw an inquiry based on that. Withdraw it. Instead, what we are seeing is that this committee was warned about the falsehoods of these allegations long before that, warned by Trump Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and yet they proceeded anyway. The chairman proceeded anyway.
This committee was warned by Rudy Giuliani associate right here, Lev Parnas, after that document about the falsehoods of this, then held hearings where your own expert witnesses said that there was no grounds for impeachment, and you proceeded anyway. And finally, as if none of this was enough, the FBI arrested the individual who was the source of the entire, to quote the chairman, heart of the matter to launch this impeachment inquiry and proceeded anyway. At this point, the story is not the fact that the basis of this impeachment inquiry is wrong. The story is why it's proceeding anyway. Why is this committee proceeding based on false charges?
And if there and by the way, no charges. I have yet to hear, in the chairman's opening, the allegation that they are specifically charging the president of the United States with. I'm hearing about Biden family. I'm hearing about this and that. I am not hearing the specific allegation by this committee.
What is it? It's not here, and that is the problem. The story is when this committee knew that they were working with falsified evidence. That's the story. And with that, I yield back.
Gentle lady yields back. Chair, no recognize.

But what I will tell you, the first hour or so of this of this hearing has been devastating to the Biden family and to what they've told the American people for years. Frankly, what they've lied to about for years is that, yes, Joe Biden did know full well what his brother and his son was doing, and they were shaking down these foreign companies that were backed by foreign governments in order to get money for the Biden family. That is what happened.
And so now as this whole hearing unfolds, you're gonna be soon seeing more and more of that come out.

The one who wants to terminate the constitution and defund the FBI. The one who romanticized exchanging of love letters with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.

The one who called Mexicans rapists and promised to build a wall and have them pay for it. And in case you missed it, it didn't happen. The one who told women of color from the unite born in the United States, elected to congress and serving on this very committee to go back to their own countries. The one who bragged about grabbing women by their private parts. The one who confused his rape victim whom he claimed was not his type for his very own ex wife.
The one who is an admitted and committed adulterer who attempted to pay off a porn star for her silence. The one who has publicly mocked people with disabilities. The one who dodged the draft and referred to prisoners of war as losers. The very people who pay a high price so we could enjoy the freedoms that far too many of us take for granted.

"This impeachment inquiry is part of Donald Trump's larger misinformation campaign" -- Stansbury points out that figures involved in the Ukraine scheming that got Trump impeached are also involved in Republicans' Biden investigation. Not exactly folks with a lot of credibility.
Video Transcript AI Summary
The witness confirmed that aid to Ukraine was tied to cooperation in a bribery scheme. The man responsible for withholding aid is involved in the House GOP inquiry and has ties to Clarence Thomas' wife. This highlights the larger misinformation campaign linked to Trump, similar to 2020. The hearing is being used to push false information, including evidence planted by a Russian operative now in jail.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Time. And as established in your testimony, you traveled to and met with Ukrainian officials and told them that the White House would support would withhold its support and aid to Ukraine if it did not cooperate with this bribery, essentially. That's correct. And as we all know, Donald Trump's administration and, specifically, the Office of Management and Budget did withhold that foreign aid in 2019. And here's the guy who did it.
And he's representing the witness who's literally on Zoom with us for this committee today. And it's the reason why Donald Trump was impeached the first time. And the man at the center of that scheme is involved in the House GOP's inquiry. But I also wanna point out that mister Pauletta is also involved in and very much in bed with the Thomas'. In fact, he represented miss Ginnie Thomas, Clarence Thomas' wife, in her involvement in the stop the steal before the January 6th, committee, and actually also goes on vacation with mister Harlin Crowe and the Thomases.
So this man has quite an interesting roster and, participation in this hearing. But the bigger picture here is that mister Pauletta's presence is yet another indication of the way in which this hearing and this impeachment inquiry is part of Donald Trump's larger misinformation campaign, just like it was in 2020, where in addition to pressuring and withholding aid to Ukraine, Rudy Giuliani and the Trump Organization, as mister Parnas has established, planted the story in the media. And now here we are 4 years later as they've dredged it back up and are planting it back in the media using Congress, using this committee, and using a baseless impeachment supported by Donald Trump's own allies on this committee to push that information out. As members on this committee have trafficked in false evidence that was planted by a Russian operative to the FBI and is now in jail for that.

They seek evidence of direct payoffs during Biden's vice presidency or after. However, this link has not been established yet. People may be growing weary of the ongoing investigation.

Speaker 0: Again, I think what the Republicans have been trying to establish is a direct link between, you know, what were foreign nations seeing as a payoff for doing business with, the vice president's son. And it would be and, obviously, critical for that to happen while Joe Biden was vice president or if they offered him, say, some kind of direct payoff for a foreign policy decision once he left office. I don't think that we've gotten there yet. It's you know, I think, John, the why we're still here because I do think that people are maybe becoming a little bit tired of all of this.

The speaker discusses how they have gathered evidence to support Bob Balinski's claims, discrediting Jim and Hunter Biden's statements. They reveal that Joe Biden was aware of the business dealings but structured things to give him plausible deniability. They mention meetings with Tony Bobolinski and Yelena Baturina. The conversation shifts to the investigation's focus on acquiring financial records to further substantiate their claims.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Hey. But the the needle hasn't moved appreciably on this case since he originally said what he said.
Speaker 1: Well, look, it's good to be with you. I will tell you that what's really moved is that we've been able to bring in all of the documentary evidence to support what mister Bob Balinski has said. He also testified in hearing today that he which basically discredits everything that Jim Biden said under oath and what Hunter Biden said under oath. And at the end of the day, what was clearly proven by the testimony to this point is that Joe Biden did know about what was happening. He was involved with the business dealings and that they were they really structured everything to give Joe Biden plausible deniability.
They didn't want Joe Biden on a text message or an email, but he did meet with Tony Bobolinski. He did meet with Yelena Baturina, and they were extensive meetings, not just a high in saying how's the weather, the way Jim Biden and Hunter Biden like to portray.
Speaker 0: Alright. So be that as it may, congressman. There seems to be little argument that the Biden brand is what Hunter Biden and potentially Jim Biden, was selling as well. But where is the evidence of wrongdoing on the president's part, and how long can you
Speaker 1: continue this investigation without that evidence?
Speaker 0: Well, first, we're gonna continue
Speaker 1: investigation to get all of the information. There are still financial records that we have not been able to acquire, that we have subpoenaed, we have we have requested, but we haven't gotten those yet. But already

So at this point in time, I'd ask unanimous consent to enter into the record a document indicating that the law firm representing Tony Bobolinski was paid $10,000 as recently as January of this year by the Save America PAC, which you may recognize as Donald Trump's PAC.
Speaker 1: Without objection.
Speaker 0: Thank you. Now so far in this hearing, it has felt like the worst episode of The Apprentice. I'm sure you're familiar with that show. It seems like my colleagues and maybe you and some others are trying to become the next vice president of the United States of America. You're auditioning or something like that because, mister Bobolinski, I know that you take exception to the fact that your credibility has been called into question over and over.
But when someone comes to testify under oath, whether it's before this committee, behind closed doors, or in person, then we have to evaluate someone's credibility. And, sir, I definitely have always had issues with your credibility as I know that you are very well aware of. So let me remind you of what happened behind closed doors.
Speaker 1: I don't have a mask. Ask her a comment about my credibility.
Speaker 0: Ask you a question. Okay?
Speaker 1: You are?
Speaker 0: When I I haven't. So when I ask you a question, that's when you answer. Otherwise, I'm talking. So Excuse me. With my time, because it's my time, I wanna be clear that when we were behind closed doors, you called a number of people liars.
You called the Wall Street Journal liars. You called Cassidy Hutchinson a liar. You called the FBI a liar. You called Rob Walker a liar. You called James Guillier a liar.
You called Hunter Biden a liar. You called Jim Biden a liar. And just today, you added to your list. You called my colleague, congressman mister Goldman, a liar as well. It seems like, according to you, the only person that's telling the truth is you and everyone else is lying.

Speaker 0: We know that your company is the company of somebody who's been found liable of fraud, as well as defamation, as well as sexual, assault, and for whatever reason, can't pay his bills, at this point in time. But I'm gonna ask mister Parnas. So this is a question to him. Are you aware if Trump had any associates that have been found guilty of anything?
Speaker 1: Yes. Lots of them.
Speaker 0: Lots of them.
Speaker 1: Me included.
Speaker 0: You included. Okay. So when you were called here to testify, you weren't called here to testify for any other reason than to tell the truth. Is that correct?
Speaker 1: Yes, congressman.
Speaker 0: Now we started this whole sham off because of the 10/23, and that was debunked by you. Was it not?
Speaker 1: Yes, congressman.
Speaker 0: Way before we started this impeachment inquiry. And you mentioned a number of times this guy by the name of Rudy Giuliani.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 0: Now, you know, everybody is so stressed about the fact that Hunter ain't here today. But, you know, Hunter came and testified behind closed doors for over 6 hours. And every single one of them, they weren't limited to 5 minutes. They could ask whatever they wanted to, and there's a full transcript of his testimony. So I don't know what else they wanted to do besides the fact that they wanted to put on a show.
But let me tell you something. This whole thing is based upon something that Giuliani came up with.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 0: And and we tried to subpoena him if I'm that's what I remember. If anybody else remember we tried we asked. We said, hey, we should subpoena Giuliani. But, you know, kinda like when we were trying to get his cell phone, they shut it down. Right?
Like, they don't want the facts. But you would agree with me that considering the fact that you were working under Rudy Giuliani at the time that you went over to Ukraine, that he has maybe some valuable information that he could offer this committee as to whether or not there's anything that we should be investigating in the first place.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, congresswoman. I wish that this committee would subpoena Rudy Giuliani, put them on their oath alongside me to get to the bottom of the truth of what actually happened in Ukraine and to the manipulation that Trump and Giuliani and the team went to do.

Jared Kushner's involvement in covering up Jamal Khashoggi's assassination is questioned. The focus shifts to Hunter Biden and potential influence peddling. The discussion turns to investigating Kushner's ties to the Saudi government and financial records. The need to subpoena Kushner's correspondence and financial transactions is emphasized. The importance of determining the legitimacy of businesses involved is highlighted.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Question. What was the role that Jared Kushner played in covering up the assassination and dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi, ordered by the royal conference.
Speaker 1: Reiki member. And so so I wanna know. If Hunter Biden had accepted $2,000,000,000 from the Saudi government, I'm sure we'd be looking into that today. And, mister chairman, I believe we can agree that there should not be undue influence in the White House, and I believe we should be able to agree that we should look into these questions about mister Kushner. And in fact, mister chairman, you were on CNN and said, quote, I've been a vocal, I've been very vocal that I think what Kushner did crossed the line of ethics.
And then in our deposition of Hunter Biden the other day, when we were disgusting mister Kushner, you said, mister chairman, and I quote from the deposition, when we deal with influence peddling, we'll ask about Jared Kushner. Well, today's hearing is titled influence peddling, so we are here. So, mister Comer, I would love to hear from you. Can we fulfill our responsibility as an oversight committee and determine if Saudi Arabia bribed or unduly influenced Jared Kushner or other White House officials? Is that something we'd be willing to look into?
Speaker 2: We've already had a conversation with miss Porter. I'm gonna answer one time. Miss Porter and I have pledged to work on influence peddling legislation. We'll take up all the people who have been accused of influence peddling. We'll try to determine whether Jared Kushner has a real business.
We haven't been able to find a real business that the Biden's have had yet now. Just still your time, mister
Speaker 1: Kushner. So could we expect to subpoena mister Kushner's correspondence with the Saudi government or his firm's financial records or financial transactions between mister Kushner and his father-in-law? Is that something that we would consider doing as part of that hearing you just discussed?
Speaker 2: What was the question?
Speaker 1: If we if we are serious about looking into foreign money, I saw recently a a poster board here about a $100,000 to a car dealership, are we going to be serious about the $2,000,000,000 from the Saudi government to mister Kushner? Would that my question is, would we be at least subpoenaing Jared's correspondence with the Saudi government and his firm's financial records? Can we commit to doing that?
Speaker 2: I think it's important to see if they if they were real legitimate businesses.

Speaker 0: I just wanna make sure that I point out, and this is not a question just in case you wanted to know, that on page 174 of your transcribed interview line 9, it says, this is an absolute lie in reference to talking about the FBI. What you stated I did not call the FBI agent's lies. Before that was first of all, I said that I'm speaking, and I did not ask you a question. First of all, it doesn't say Tony Bobolinski told the FBI, This is a summary of 2 agents that took notes through my interview, and their summary, apparently, that they presented says Bobolinski first met in person with members of the Biden family at a 2017 meeting in Miami, Florida. This is an absolute lie.
That is what it says. The final thing that I'm going to say is about this. What we have from Kim Buck, a Republican, I don't think that the impeachment of Biden is appropriate, and so house speaker Mike Johnson's ability to talk me into staying here is going to be about as successful as his ability about talking me into an unconstitutional impeachment.

The first speaker challenges them to call for impeachment if they truly believe in the evidence. Ultimately, the first speaker believes the impeachment efforts are a show without substance, claiming it will never happen due to lack of evidence and support.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: The chairman has not yet moved for that. And so look, chairman, we got we got, like, 3 and a half minutes here. I mean, let's just do the impeachment. I mean, why continue to waste 1,000,000 of dollars of the taxpayers' money if we're gonna impeach because you believe you've shown he's committed a high crime and misdemeanor, let what are you waiting on? Let let let's just do it.
I mean, by the way, we got chairman Jordan here also, the double chairman. Why aren't you guys calling for the vote in your committee? When when is it gonna happen? When when can we tell the American people you're gonna stop wasting their money and just call for the vote on impeachment? Gentlemen Neil, the Gentlemen Neil?
Sure.
Speaker 1: We don't do snap impeachments like you guys. We actually do the facts. We do oversight according to the Constitution.
Speaker 0: Never gonna call for it. You're never gonna call for it.
Speaker 1: I mean Well, now you can predict you can predict the future? How do you know? You don't
Speaker 0: you guys only have 6 more months probably in power, right, until the election. So are you gonna you gonna do it in 2 months? Are you gonna do it in 3 months? Like, tell the American people.
Speaker 1: Does the constitution put a time limit on oversight? I don't think I didn't I didn't read that in the constitution.
Speaker 0: So you if you believe you don't you don't can't call for the impeachment now, then what you're admitting is you haven't yet proven that he's committed a high crime and misdemeanor. You haven't proven it yet. Otherwise, you would call for it, I assume.
Speaker 1: We're doing our work. Okay.
Speaker 0: So so they haven't proven it. Right? They haven't proven he committed a high crime and misdemeanor. Otherwise, we would call for impeachment. So I just look.

This is a show. It's all fake. They just wanna do these hearings. It's not leading to impeachment. They're lying to their base on Newsmax and Fox, leading these people to believe that they're gonna eventually impeach the president.
It's not gonna happen at all, ever, period. They don't even have the votes even if they had it in committee. They don't have the votes on the floor. They know that

"Ron Johnson was our guy in the Senate" -- Lev Parnas on pushing disinformation https://t.co/znmh2UaRoS
Video Transcript AI Summary
Senator Ron Johnson was the Republican's guy in the senate to push disinformation. The FBI tip sheet alleging bribery was based on fabricated claims about Trump and Giuliani flying to Ukraine with Parnas. The informant behind the tip sheet faces criminal charges for lying about the Biden family. The same lie dates back to 2015 in a Russian article aimed at destabilizing Ukraine and undermining democracy. Parnas has no doubt Russia is involved in this campaign to interfere in US elections.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Authors of the Republican Burisma report would be your, quote, guy in the senate to push all the information, end quote. What what did you mean by that?
Speaker 1: Senator Ron Johnson was our guy in the senate. He was told to me that, when we push the information, he's gonna push in the halls of Congress.
Speaker 0: So when the media was getting skeptical about pushing disinformation after they've proven it wrong time and time again, the the the plan was to have a US senator, Ron Johnson, to push that disinformation even further.
Speaker 1: Correct. Because we had congressman Nunez already doing it, so senator Ron Johnson jumped on board.
Speaker 0: This congress, both chairman Kumar and chairman Jordan have centered this entire sham impeachment hearing on an, FBI tip sheet. This tip sheet made wild claims about bribery that didn't even come close to being backed up. And in fact, it's all being proved to be one big lie. Mister Parnas, is the allegation, in the FBI tip sheet based on the same fabricated claims that Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani flew flew you to Ukraine to dig up? Yes.
I also wanna make it clear that the informant allegedly behind this tip sheet is facing criminal charges for lying about the Biden family and was a known fraud for years before that. The same fabricated claim kept popping up and getting smacked down over and over again. In fact, our colleagues at the foreign affairs committee did some amazing work on this and investigate, an investigation and found that this lie dates back to December 2015, almost 10 years ago. Do you happen to know, the article that I'm referring to?
Speaker 1: I don't know the exact article, but I do know that the the slide has started way back in 2015.
Speaker 0: Started 10 about 10 years ago, it was an article entitled, quote, the Ukrainian scam of the Biden family, end quote. And it was posted to a Russian language media website registered in a city in Russian occupied Crimea. Mister Parnas, do you have any doubt that this fabrication claim, the claim that Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani sent you to Ukraine to try to dig up more information on is part of Russian propaganda, in an effort to destabilize Ukraine and undermine our democracy?
Speaker 1: As I as I sit here today, I have zero doubt that Russia's involved. This is a Russian campaign to interfere in our elections.

The Durham report failed to address the issue of Russia's involvement in disseminating hacked emails to benefit Donald Trump.

The Durham report seem to fail to fire hurricane investigation was that Russia would be disseminating hacked emails out, related that would help Donald Trump. And lo and behold, at the end of July, that's exactly what happened. So the Durham report focused solely on what was internally within the intelligence files of the FBI.
Have just been a preliminary investigation as opposed to a full investigation. 3rd, the Durham report talks all about the Steele dossier, which had to, I believe, 6 individuals connected to the Trump campaign who were convicted, whereas the Durham report, league from Arizona was saying about the FBI whistleblowers. I was actually in that hearing last week. He was not. To.
And what I can tell you about those individuals is separate and apart from whether today are whistleblowers or not. They were deemed by the FBI to be national security risks.

I faced criticism for ending it in the military, where drug use is prohibited.

Therefore, I ended it, and the military is pleased with this decision.

I took a lot of heat. But I ended. In the military, you're not allowed to take drugs. But massive amounts of drugs. And and people are just sir, in in so many different ways.
Look, people, they have their ideas, and I'm not gonna knock anything. But in the military, you're not allowed to take practically an aspirin, and massive amounts of drugs are taken.

Video Transcript AI Summary
In Ukraine, the situation is dire with many lives lost and historic buildings destroyed. Pouring more money into the conflict only prolongs the suffering and increases casualties. Russia's strategy of targeting power plants has left people freezing to death. As president, I believe I could resolve this crisis in just one day. It's crucial to have the power of the office and a strategic approach. The current talks and actions are ineffective, and every passing day benefits Putin while the death toll rises higher than reported. Immediate action is necessary to settle the conflict and prevent further devastation.

More and more of some of those incredible buildings with the domes that are a 1000 years old. They're just laying down dead right now. The whole cities are being done. Almost every single power plant and Ukraine has been destroyed because Russia wins wars with the cold. They beat Napoleon with the cold.
They beat Hitler with the coal. That's how they win. And that's what they're doing now. They're knocking out all the power plants and people are freezing to death. And it's a very bad thing.
I could settle that in one day. As president, you need the power of that office, but you need to have, shtekel. You need to have a way of dealing. You can't do that just by standing and saying, no. We're going to get it.
Look. People are dying. The country is being obliterated. Obliterated. Russia's a warring nation.
They have many missiles. And if those missiles didn't work, they have other missiles, which we don't even wanna talk about. Very powerful missiles just like we have and bombs. And, that should be settled immediately, and it could be settled immediately. And when I watch these people going over there and talking, they have no idea what they're doing.
And every day that goes by, in many ways, is a gift to Putin because it just gets worse and worse and more and more people Our you know, how do they live like that? How do and many aren't living. The death count is much higher than what people are reporting. Much, much higher.
