00:00An American leader just stood outside the White House
00:02and issued a direct threat to a democratic ally
00:05defending itself against invasion.
00:07He ordered Ukraine to protect Vladimir Putin's oil refineries
00:11and warn them to stop fighting back.
00:12Listen to what he just admitted on live television.
00:20What is that? What?
00:22The critics of the Russia-usual deal said it could prolong the war in Ukraine
00:27because it's giving Putin an economic...
00:28Well, I look at it differently.
00:30Zelensky could have settled this war many times.
00:33Many, many times.
00:35And he chooses not to.
00:38It's very difficult.
00:39It's a war that should have never been started.
00:41If I were president, if the election weren't rigged,
00:44I would have been president.
00:45And that war would have never started.
00:47But he could have settled it many times, and he chose not to.
00:50We said, you can do whatever you want to Russia,
00:53don't hit the refineries,
00:54because that's a world problem that's caused.
00:57And he wants to make problems for the world.
01:00He wants to make problems for our farmers, our ranchers,
01:03with diesel fuel,
01:05because Russia supplies a large portion of the diesel fuel
01:09throughout the world.
01:10And we told him, do whatever you want,
01:12but don't hit the diesel fuel,
01:14because there's a big problem, a big shortage.
01:16And what does he do?
01:17He goes and hits the diesel fuel.
01:19He can do whatever he wants,
01:20but he can't do that,
01:22because we have a world problem.
01:24And the problem is caused
01:26by the lack of refineries for diesel fuel.
01:29So what does he do?
01:30He goes and hits refineries.
01:32And I said to him,
01:33do what you want, don't hit refineries.
01:36There's plenty of targets, don't hit refineries.
01:38And he went out and he hit.
01:39And he's not going to affect our farmers,
01:42and he's not going to affect our ranchers,
01:44and he's not going to affect the rest of the world.
01:46So he'd better damn well stop.
01:52Look at the horrifying reality
01:54of what Donald Trump just admitted on camera.
01:57He literally said,
01:58we told him, don't hit the refineries.
02:01Why is Ukraine striking Russian oil refineries?
02:04Because that refined fuel powers the very Russian tanks
02:07and bombers slaughtering civilians across Ukraine.
02:11Striking those refineries is basic military self-defense.
02:14Yet Donald Trump's priority
02:16isn't protecting an allied democracy.
02:19His priority is protecting Vladimir Putin's oil revenue
02:23to shave pennies off gas prices before an election.
02:27Ronald Reagan once called the Soviet Union
02:29an evil empire.
02:31Today, Donald Trump acts
02:33as the Kremlin's private defense attorney,
02:35drawing red lines to shield Russian fuel depots
02:38while threatening an American ally.
02:39This is the total capitulation
02:42of American leadership to a foreign dictator.
