00:00Okay, let's talk about Ukraine now.
00:01There have been a lot of signs along the way,
00:04and I think you probably have picked up some of these signs yourself,
00:07that the Trump administration is souring, right?
00:10They're getting tired, if not just downright fed up with Volodymyr Zelensky.
00:15We've seen that at the White House, in meetings they had.
00:19You know what I really saw, though?
00:20When it made even, when it seemed like, to me anyway,
00:25like it was really obvious, this weekend, this weekend,
00:29by this moment, where Mr. Trump infuses or pushes
00:35Prime Minister Viktor Orban, it seemed, to say this.
00:41So the only pro-peace government is the United States government
00:45and the small Hungary in Europe, anyway.
00:47All the other governments prefer to continue the war
00:49because many of them think that Ukraine can win on the front line,
00:55which is a misunderstanding of the situation.
00:57So it's a complicated issue.
00:59We will discuss its request, not just two minutes to respond to your question,
01:03but rather than our lecture.
01:04Sorry, not to continue more.
01:06To both of you, to both of you.
01:08So you would say that Ukraine cannot win that war?
01:13You know, a miracle can happen.
01:15Yeah, that's right.
01:17So do you get the feeling that Trump was asking him a question that Trump already knew the answer to?
01:24And do you get the feeling that Trump felt like he wanted Orban to say it
01:28because he wasn't comfortable saying itself?
01:30And do you get the feeling that Trump knows that those reporters in the White House
01:34are too stupid or too cowardly to ask that question,
01:39so he did it himself?
01:41Because it seemed obvious to me.
01:43But now there's another one that makes me, another situation that makes me kind of scratch my head,
01:51maybe others as well, and ask this.
01:54Why is the FBI investigating the Ukrainian government for corruption, right?
02:02Now, I know why they should do it, right?
02:05I know why they should do it.
02:06It's because some $300 billion of U.S. taxpayer resources have been sent to Zelensky.
02:13And me, as one of those taxpayers, hell, I'd love to know,
02:17what the hell did they do with all that money?
02:19Somebody sticking it in their pocket over there?
02:22Still, you've got to ask this question.
02:25Why is the United States investigating a supposed ally?
02:29Ukraine's an ally of the United States.
02:31Why is the FBI investigating corruption in Ukraine, right?
02:35Well, that appears to be what's going on.
02:39And here's the story.
02:40Let me share it with you.
02:41So there's the headline.
02:44There is Timir Mindich.
02:46He's a longtime ally, the guy with the yellow circle around his head.
02:50He's a longtime ally of Ukrainian strongman Volodymyr Zelensky.
02:53He fled the country.
02:55He just left.
02:57He's disappeared.
02:58And he did so while being investigated.
03:01And according to the reporting by Ukrinskaya,
03:04this is one of the sources there, Pravda, Ukrinskaya Pravda,
03:08he did so after somebody in the government called him and tipped him off and said,
03:14hey, your home is about to be raided.
03:15You better get the hell out, which he did.
03:17That in and of itself proves that there's some level of corruption, right?
03:20When somebody can tell you what the government is doing before anybody else knows.
03:25By the way, here's what's important.
03:26So this investigation is being conducted by NABU.
03:30That's the well-known Ukraine National Anti-Corruption Bureau.
03:33And it's reportedly part of a much wider investigation,
03:37also conducted jointly by the FBI.
03:42Look, I don't know.
03:44I don't know.
03:45But it sounds to me like somebody in Washington
03:48is creating a justification for possible future actions.
03:53It's like maybe an excuse to get rid of Zelensky.
03:56I don't know.
03:57I mean, I don't know.
03:58I don't know.
03:58I don't know what those actions could be in full clarity.
04:04But as we witness what is appearing to be happening right now in Ukraine,
04:09which is obviously the worst of times right now for the Ukraine military,
04:12everybody's reporting that,
04:13as well as the worst of times right now probably for Mr. Zelensky himself.
04:17You tell me.
04:18But consider this.
04:21Consider this well-known comedic expression.
04:25You'll know this if you're American,
04:27and if not, you'll still find it interesting.
04:29It was made famous by a famous American singer in Motown.
04:33His name was Marvin Gaye.
04:35It was also made famous by comedian Bill Cosby on his show.
04:38And it goes like this.
04:40I brought you in this world, and I'll take you out.
04:42I brought you in this world, and I'll take you out.
04:50Referring to a parent yelling at their kids.
04:54Now think of those words in relation to Zelensky.
04:56Who put Zelensky in power?
05:00And who might now just decide to take him out?
