So I actually think... But isn't the mineral... Isn't it a better thing if he announces it tonight and says, not only did I get the deal, but I played hardball. You saw it on television. He would have just postponed it to today. That's how I negotiate.
That doesn't make sense. I don't think there's a chain of events there. I just think that right now, Donald Trump is probably, you know, likely to say, yeah, I'll sign that deal. Because not only is it the deal that they had worked out before and that he wanted and Zelensky agreed to, but if you get it now... Zelensky came back begging. He came back begging. He's been begging for three days.
That's what's going to make the deal before. If you get it now, you come back and say, look at the negotiation. I played such hardball with them that they came groveling back.
It was easy for me.
No, no. Well, what part of that is new is that him talking about it, if you want an example, like, by the way, nobody looks at this stuff as like, oh, he knew this is bravery. It undermines people's confidence in the mainstream media that doesn't need any more undermining. I mean, the opinion polls are like 18 percent below Congress that people believe the mainstream media.
And this is somebody saying, I knew this for a long time. I thought this for a long time and I decided to not make it public. I decided not to talk about it. Why not? Because you were a straight newsman? No. You were talking about other things.
I guarantee you, if you go and look at what Chuck Todd said for the past eight years, you're definitely going to find some things that are sharp elbowed and that have opinions. But that opinion was left out. What do you think that people, when they see that, they're like, yeah, there is a kind of conspiracy in the media of silence because they don't like Donald Trump. They don't want him to win.
So therefore, let's thumb the scales for this guy. It's kind of gross.
You know, I mean, this is a guy that literally said that he saw the Lincoln Park project as generational wealth. What is it required to have generational wealth is to, you know, be fighting Donald Trump all the time. Did he get fired?
Well, it was a grift when he was there. And I think that he left under under a cloud. But, you know, it's amazing that this is the same person that that was talking about how he's going to get wealthy from being being the anti-Trump man. It's amazing.
Well, Camilo, the pants were fitted just right because then you realize that he doesn't bring it. Yes. Oh, maybe maybe put it on full screen. No, that's fine. We're OK. A lot of money. One problem you can't solve. Wow.
Maybe. Yeah. You got a lot of cash. Maybe buy a very fancy sock and put it in there. He's not. He's unashamed. Leave him alone.
Yeah, thank you.
The president's been a little busy these days. We told him a few days ago, Mr. President, you know we have four years, right? Right. You think about just what we've done in the last month. I think we did more in a month than Biden did in all four years.
Well, this notion that he hasn't been consulted, I've just got to push back. It's just not true. Just a week ago, President Trump in the Oval Office had Putin on the phone for the, I mean, the first time they've engaged since the prior administration had him on the phone and then Zelensky on the phone within minutes.
Both of them said only President Trump can bring this war to a conclusion and you can't get us to a ceasefire and get this war to end if you don't talk to both sides so it is an age-old kind of you know approach in diplomacy called shuttle diplomacy you talk to one side then you talk to the other oh by the way uh we just got to a ceasefire and we see hostages being released in the middle east
We talked through intermediaries, through the Qataris, through the Egyptians, to Hamas, and then we talked to the Israelis. The United States has taken this position of shuttle diplomacy for quite some time. So people might be frustrated about how it's going, but...
Trump, just in a very short amount of time, has taken this conversation from endless war, as long as it takes, open-ended, death and destruction, you know, all over Europe and expanding now with North Korea to is this war going to end to it is going to end and now we can debate about how.
So to your point on Zelensky, what has he heard the last three years? You know, blank check as long as you want. You know, what's the end state? What's the strategy? What does victory look like? It was just completely open ended. And oh, by the way, what he heard from Biden was the United States really doesn't have a say. You have a say. And now he's hearing something very different.
I think that's difficult to hear that this is going to end and you need to get to the table. In terms of the criticism, look, we've been dangling NATO membership in front of Ukraine since 2008 for 17 years. And behind the scenes, not everybody in NATO is on board with that. And I don't think the American people are on board with that.
