Putin hails Trump energetic and sincere efforts to end Ukraine war. Rob, if you have that video
00:00:06.520
there, and by the way, something very weird just came out from Hillary Clinton about Trump and
00:00:11.840
Ukraine. But before I show you this clip, that clip, watch this right here. This is Putin. Go
00:00:16.860
for it. Tonight on the eve of their high stakes summit in Alaska, Russian President Vladimir
00:00:22.300
Putin trying to lay the groundwork, heaping praise on President Trump.
00:00:26.820
Putin saying the current American administration is making quite energetic and sincere efforts to
00:00:34.620
stop the hostilities, stop the crisis, and reach agreements that are of interest to all parties
00:00:40.100
involved in this conflict. Putin saying Trump wants to create long-term conditions for peace,
00:00:46.980
both between our countries and in Europe and in the world. But the Russian leader saying he has
00:00:52.160
other goals from this meeting that go beyond the war in Ukraine, that he wants to discuss
00:00:56.720
nuclear arms control. The Kremlin saying trade and economic cooperation will also be on the
00:01:02.060
agenda. Trump today not ruling out those conversations, but saying his focus is on ending
00:01:07.680
the war. I think that President Putin would like to see a deal. I think if I weren't president,
00:01:13.580
he would take over all of Ukraine. But I am president, and he's not going to mess around with me.
00:01:17.920
But Ukrainian President Zelensky, who won't be in the room, says Putin is bluffing. And today,
00:01:24.460
Trump admitting he thinks there's a 25 percent chance this summit will fail. But if it doesn't,
00:01:30.700
Trump says he wants to quickly bring Putin and Zelensky together for another meeting,
00:01:40.760
Okay, sounds good. So when you're seeing this 25 percent chance, Zelensky saying he's bluffing,
00:01:46.200
you know, Putin's coming in, you know, saying, hey, you know, Trump seems very energetic about
00:01:51.060
wanting to make a deal. And then Trump makes a promise. And he told Zelensky and allies that
00:01:56.960
he won't discuss territory divisions with Putin this week, and that he agreed that only Ukraine can
00:02:01.660
negotiate territorial concessions this week. So, Tom, your thoughts on the story here?
00:02:05.680
Well, first of all, this is the right body language from Putin, because if you take a look at the Trump
00:02:11.560
wins on tariffs and other things around the world, clearly Trump's gaining momentum. And Putin knows
00:02:18.120
this. Putin pays attention to this. He says, Vinny, when you take a look at something like that,
00:02:23.940
you can clearly see that Putin is not agreeing to anything. But he's saying, I think it's very
00:02:30.860
sincere, very energetic, what he's doing. And then they go on to talk about territory,
00:02:36.120
where Trump talked to European leaders and said, hey, you know, only Ukraine can be at the, you know,
00:02:42.360
be at the table for the final word on negotiating its territory. And Trump is telling Zelensky,
00:02:50.280
hey, we're not going to discuss territory division with Putin this week. However, then we find out,
00:02:54.960
it comes out the other way. This is Russia United States had discussed a model independently like
00:03:01.080
the West Bank. Now, you have to remember what happened with the West Bank and what happened
00:03:04.940
with Sinai Peninsula. When Egypt came across the canal and the Suez Canal and attacked Israel from
00:03:13.700
the southwest, after Israel pushed them back, they actually pushed them all the way back into the
00:03:19.800
canal and back over. And then they took it and they told the UN, we're not leaving. We don't trust
00:03:24.880
these guys. And so we want this permanent buffer and we're taking their damn land and we're making
00:03:29.100
a permanent buffer between us and Egypt. Deal with it. And that's kind of, and so now the US and
00:03:35.040
Russia are talking about, well, what if there's kind of like this zone? And by the way, there's no
00:03:39.780
weapons and supposedly there's no militarized people in the zone. There are the Egyptian side of the zone
00:03:46.720
and the Israeli side of the zone. And if you really want to know about this, you can go
00:03:51.720
read the book, Getting DS. And that's a great book. And it's got the case study on how they negotiated
00:03:56.640
this, which is very interesting that this exactly what the US and Russia are talking about. Maybe we
00:04:02.000
make a permanent buffer here, like the DMZ in Korea. Now, some people are going to be jumping all over
00:04:06.860
me right here. Now, Russia took their land and now they're just trying to get it back. Well, look,
00:04:10.620
we got to solve this thing somewhere. And, you know, they made this, Ukraine did a huge drone
00:04:16.200
attack last night on the eve of them all trying to get together. So one of the things I think-
00:04:20.700
Do you have that video, by the way, of the drone attack? There was a couple of them. While
00:04:23.180
you're, Tom, you're saying that, Rob, if you can pull it up.
00:04:25.820
So I recap. Point one, it appears that good body language from Putin, you know, whether
00:04:31.400
you agree with him or not agree with him about the attacks and everything. Second, I think
00:04:35.820
Trump's really behind the scenes trying to negotiate something. And the fact that the West
00:04:39.560
Bank or the Sinai or even Korea DMZ comes up, says maybe we create a buffer that ends up
00:04:45.060
working for everybody. He may not like it. And then lastly, you know, we haven't seen
00:04:50.080
Zelensky. It doesn't look like Zelensky is going to show up. It looks like this is truly
00:04:57.640
So the question here, is that it, Rob? That's one of the ones that was reported on.
00:05:05.060
Yeah. So the drones they've built, by the way, we were talking about this the other day
00:05:08.540
with Ukraine. Ukraine produces, Ukraine produces, I believe the number was, was it a, I don't
00:05:16.920
know what the number was. It could have been a thousand drones a day. Rob, can you check
00:05:23.160
And there were like 500 bucks a drone or something like that.
00:05:25.560
For $500, they were blowing up $5 million equipment.
00:05:29.920
Just so you know that, what they were doing. But who in here is, yeah, that's right, right
00:05:35.840
there. You see it? So they do, wow, that's unbelievable.
00:05:40.000
4 million drones this year, 200,000 drones a month, and 6,700 drones a day is what they're
00:05:46.180
producing. A day is what they're producing. So you simply put a bomb on it, send it to
00:05:50.360
a bunch of different locations. So a smaller country, lesser, you know, not inferior weapons,
00:05:55.680
they're being a bigger pest to the enemy. That's a bigger behemoth with a ton of nuclear weapons
00:06:01.060
that they have there. The question I got for you guys is this. Putin's saying the following,
00:06:05.920
it seems like Trump is energetic and sincere about wanting to do Ukraine deal. Okay. So
00:06:11.820
Zelensky says, I think he's bluffing. Okay. Trump says 75% chance, boom, 25% chance it's a bad
00:06:21.280
meeting. I'm going to do the whole thing myself. Who here needs who the most? And who is just
00:06:27.140
fake actor? Nothing's going to get done. That's the question. Adam.
00:06:33.720
Who wants this thing to be done the most? US, Putin, or Zelensky?
00:06:39.660
I think Trump wants this thing to be done. He's the one who said that he'll get this done
00:06:50.720
Everyone thinks it's Zelensky. I think it's Putin because Putin has the opportunity to stop
00:06:55.240
this today. He clearly does not want to stop this. It's shocking to me that people are so
00:07:03.500
anti-Zelensky. So let's compartmentalize. Is Zelensky someone that we enjoy, that we like,
00:07:09.860
that we want to hang out with, that we even want to back up? No, no, no, no, no. But who's
00:07:14.660
actually the enemy? It's Putin. So, you know, you had the great interview with Andrew Bustamante
00:07:19.980
yesterday. He was basically saying, it's really a great return on investment to keep our enemies
00:07:27.260
preoccupied. The reason that we're not over there having boots on the ground, whether it's in
00:07:33.340
Ukraine, whether it's in Gaza, whether it's potentially in China, is let them do the dirty
00:07:39.300
work. And it's basically saying, oh, like, I don't want to go to the restaurant. I don't want to have to
00:07:43.360
go pick up the food. DoorDash that thing. Uber Eats that thing. Ukraine is our Uber Eats. We want
00:07:50.480
to deal with Russia. We want to deal with their propaganda. We want to deal with their warfare.
00:07:54.100
Let Ukraine deal with it. Everyone used to be, Bernie Sanders is like, the millionaires,
00:07:59.220
the millionaires. And then it turned into the billionaires, the billionaires. News for you.
00:08:03.860
If it doesn't start with a T, with a trillion, and it starts with an M, million, it's really not that
00:08:10.620
big of a deal when you're giving people money. In my opinion, Putin wants to keep this war going.
00:08:18.220
Zelensky's trying to just stay in power. He doesn't know what the hell he's doing.
00:08:21.060
And Trump wants to make a deal. Final point. He said in a press conference, press briefing
00:08:27.500
with journalists, he said, I'll know within two minutes if we have a deal. Did you hear him say
00:08:32.340
that? And a reporter goes, well, how do you know that? He goes, excuse me. This is what I do. I make
00:08:40.900
deals. This is what I do. I think there's a 1% chance of anything good happening. Trump laid the
00:08:48.520
groundwork of 25% chance it will fail. I think it's a 99% chance there's nothing happens from this.
00:08:54.380
We'll see. Question though. Go ahead. Play the clip. Yeah.
00:08:57.760
Meeting with Vladimir Putin. And at the end of that meeting, probably in the first two minutes,
00:09:02.000
I'll know exactly whether or not a deal can be made. How do you know? Because this is what I do.
00:09:07.140
Hello. I mean, it's so true. If you want to know what Trump is, this is what I do.
00:09:13.220
So you're saying 99% chance nothing's going to happen. My opinion is different. Vinny, where are you at?
00:09:18.860
Well, Adam, when you say that they're our enemy, we're not at war with Russia. They're not our enemy.
00:09:24.380
They're our adversary. I think China's a way bigger enemy. Are we at war with China?
00:09:30.500
No, not a shooting a gun war. Okay. So there's different types of wars.
00:09:34.220
COVID and buying land and doing all that. I agree with you. There's different types of wars.
00:09:37.820
Oh yeah. A hundred percent. But with Russia, you think we're just peaceful and friends with Russia?
00:09:41.880
Not peaceful, but we've been poking the bear with them since the nineties. We told them-
00:09:46.400
But it works both ways. No, I understand that. But when it comes to this situation,
00:09:50.140
especially with this meeting, I think Trump is an alpha, huge alpha. So is Putin. They're going to
00:09:56.820
be in a room, hopefully, with Zelensky. He's not even a beta, bro. He's not. He can't compare to
00:10:03.300
these two. And then when you have all the war hawks, I'm hoping the Lindsey Graham's and all
00:10:06.480
the defense contracting people, Pat, probably weren't in his ear, which I'm pretty sure they're
00:10:10.040
talking to him. And like, Zelensky, there's no money if you just piece it up and we just stop right
00:10:15.660
now. If you bow down, we're all going to lose money. You're going to lose your position and
00:10:20.300
you'll look weak. Okay. My hopes are that it happens, but the way that Zelensky is, Pat,
00:10:24.460
with the attitude and coming in the White House, that type of attitude comes from people in your
00:10:28.440
ears saying, hey, go in there and be a freaking tough guy. He's not a tough guy. He's an actor.
00:10:34.820
To Pat's question, who do you think needs it more?
00:10:37.600
Trump. Adam nailed it. Trump just for, he said he was going to do it. He's a little bit delayed,
00:10:42.340
but I think, uh, I think Zelensky, Zelensky neat. Listen, cause you know what it is? Hundreds
00:10:48.460
of thousands of people are dying. And guess what? With the drones aside, who, who thinks
00:10:53.040
it was lost more soldiers? Ukraine, Ukraine has running up to them and putting them in
00:10:58.420
advance. So to me, this is how I see it. And we can get to the next story is a guy at the
00:11:05.860
level of Putin or Trump. They don't waste seven hours of their day going somewhere that
00:11:12.260
they don't want to do anything. And that's a one way flight on a way back. It's another
00:11:15.860
seven hours for Trump. How long is the flight time for Putin? Rob, where Putin was going
00:11:20.320
through. What do you mean? Russia is right next to Alaska. Sarah Palin can see Russia from
00:11:27.760
Moscow is nine time zones wide from the Pacific.
00:11:31.240
So what I'm saying to you is this, this is not going to be a meeting where guys are trying
00:11:35.260
to, you know, waste their time going to a meeting like this. That's one. They're not going
00:11:39.880
to do it. So there's a reason why they're doing this. There's not a waste of time. So
00:11:44.960
there you go. Eight hours and 20 minutes to Alaska. So you got Putin's got 17 hours of
00:11:51.460
flight time. Trump's got 14 hours of flight time. Neither one of them are doing this for
00:11:56.020
the hell of it because they need more publicity and they want to get cameras. The world knows
00:12:00.420
them. They don't need another million followers or a hundred thousand followers or 50 million
00:12:04.620
views. They don't need that. But to me in this, in this case, I think the way Zelensky
00:12:09.960
and NATO did it. So NATO is telling Zelensky, we have your back. He goes and meets with Starmer.
00:12:15.780
He goes and meets with Macron is speaking on his behalf. Macron comes out and says,
00:12:20.660
uh, uh, Trump agreed. Only Ukraine can negotiate territorial concessions. Macron says, so Macron is
00:12:29.700
now speaking on behalf of Zelensky speak there. So, which means NATO is not for a deal at all.
00:12:37.800
NATO is trying to tell Zelensky, you don't have to give nothing. We have your back. That's what
00:12:44.020
NATO is saying. And Trump in this section where he can throw a complete wrench inside the whole
00:12:49.800
thing and is capable of doing that is really you guys all teamed up against me, NATO. Really? That's
00:12:54.600
what you want to do? No problem. I, the country that gives the most money, I'm agreeing to have
00:12:59.960
Putin, Russia be a part of NATO. Go ahead and play that game. So I think they're, they're,
00:13:04.160
they're, Trump in his, Trump is showing this hand, which is three cards. Trump's got two cards
00:13:10.580
that he's like, nobody knows what those two cards are, including Hexet. No one knows it. And all of
00:13:16.860
a sudden he's going to drop it. It's like that moment when Trump is standing next to Netanyahu
00:13:20.360
and he says, yeah, we're excited about Gaza. We're going to take over. We're going to take
00:13:24.720
over Gaza. We're going to make, and then Netanyahu looks at him like, what? We didn't
00:13:28.640
speak about this. You didn't agree to this year. So I think that's the surprise element
00:13:32.660
of Trump that's coming here soon. What he's going to say, who knows? But in this case,
00:13:37.680
I think Putin needs this deal the most. I do think Trump wants it for different reasons.
00:13:45.920
Legacy. But I think, I think Putin, honestly, if you think about it, Putin's been publicly
00:13:51.780
humiliated. Zelensky has not been humiliated. Zelensky has been turned into a hero. Putin
00:13:57.060
has been publicly humiliated because everybody thought within 30 days, the war is going to
00:14:03.220
be done and Putin's going to get what he wants. And that's not been the case. Yes. So it's
00:14:07.600
a bit of a, it's a bit of a black guy in front of, on that black guy. It's a little bit of
00:14:12.280
a black guy in front of his audience of what happened. And it's to the point right now where
00:14:18.040
Hillary Clinton chimes in. And this is what she said. She admits she would nominate Trump
00:14:23.740
for Nobel Peace Prize if he helps end the war in Ukraine. Hillary Clinton admits she,
00:14:30.920
is this it, Rob? Does she say that? Let's see it. It's a deep fake. If President Trump
00:14:34.540
were the architect of that, I'd nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize. Wow, that's respect.
00:14:38.900
Okay, so there you go. That's it. That's where it ends right there. There you go. So, I mean,
00:14:42.000
and the reason why Hillary Clinton's saying it the way she did, you know why she's saying
00:14:46.340
it as confident as she did? Because she knows something that there's no way it's going to happen.
00:14:51.240
Or else she would never say that. Right. You think she's involved in the conversations
00:14:55.320
with NATO and Zelensky? You think she's involved with all the Democrat establishment talking
00:14:59.380
to each other on what they're going to be telling Zelensky? You think the insider establishments
00:15:02.940
told her exactly how the conversations went? Of course. I don't think, I think Hillary Clinton
00:15:08.480
just gave away her cards in that statement. And the cards are, over my dead body, this war
00:15:15.240
is going to end. And because I know the war is not going to end because I'm involved in
00:15:19.720
it on the inside with some relationships, guess what? I'm willing to say publicly that
00:15:23.980
I would nominate him to a Nobel Peace Prize because she knows she never will. If she does,
00:15:27.920
it'll be the first time in her life that she shows a sign of nobility, which is great.
00:15:31.300
But I think that was her having too much information that she indirectly told the world that I kind
00:15:37.840
of know a little bit more than you small time people out there that you are doing podcasts
00:15:42.560
and shows and mainstream and all this stuff. You guys are not on the inside. You guys are
00:15:45.460
just, you know, what's the word? You guys are just peasants. You guys are just masses. I know
00:15:49.660
what's going on because I'm on the inside of the conversation. Do you think that she's such a
00:15:53.580
psychopath, self-dealing person that she would rather see the war go on in Russia and Ukraine
00:16:01.840
than see Donald Trump, her middle rival, Hillary Clinton, receive the Nobel Peace Prize? Do you think
00:16:07.100
she's that? Diabolical. Just diabolical. Knowing what we know about her. Are you really asking
00:16:12.580
that question? Like, what kind of a question is that? I mean, you're talking about a person that
00:16:16.380
you're talking about a person that in 2016, do you know what happened to her? She said,
00:16:24.020
happy birthday, future president to herself. That's just an egomaniac, right? No, no. She
00:16:29.420
was going to win. Yeah. But that's different from being diabolical. Oh, I know this woman is on a
00:16:34.680
whole different level. No, never underestimate the power of a, not, you know, he-man. There she is.
00:16:40.020
This is, this is Hillary Clinton. I know we want to move on. You know how highly she thinks of
00:16:44.520
herself? Oh, no doubt. This is a week before the election. She wished herself a happy birthday and
00:16:49.680
then she lost. You think she's ever going to forget the stage? No. No, she's not going to forget the stage.
00:16:53.960
Brutal. I mean, listen, every politician is a narcissist in some capacity. Not like that.
00:16:58.680
Guys, I'm with you. By the way, just side note, what percentage of the stories we hear about Hillary
00:17:04.580
she did this, she did this, do you think are actually true? 10, 20, 50, 100?
00:17:10.200
Let me put it to you this way. If 25% is true, it's bad. If 5% is true, it's bad.
00:17:17.160
It's like when we had Gianni Russo here, it's like, what? You subbed a Madonna, you did this.
00:17:21.140
It's like, if half the stories you say are true, you're the man. So, yeah. She's that big of a
00:17:25.240
psychopath. I don't know, but we'll see. Every once in a while, we get new things that come up for
00:17:29.340
summer. Summer hats are here. And I want to show you this with these summer hats that we have.
00:17:34.580
They're not that many. We didn't order hundreds of them. This is very limited supply for someone.
00:17:39.740
We're just simply testing it out. The first one is the splat print. If you look at it, it's pretty
00:17:44.760
sick. Can you change your pictures on that, Rob? There's not that many of these. We're simply
00:17:48.560
ordering these to see how you like it. And then we may do a bigger supply. It's a new future looks
00:17:52.500
bright design on the back of it. It's actually pretty sick on the bottom as well. Then this next one,
00:17:57.200
the black one is not going to last. Although I think these two are going to be competing. Look at this
00:18:02.480
