Senator Ted Cruz

Well, the fallout continues from the epic meeting last week between President Zelensky and Donald Trump. The consequences have been massive. As you mentioned, we did an emergency podcast Friday afternoon within hours of the meeting. We put it out. Normally, we put out pods Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. We put out two pods on Friday, one Friday morning and one Friday afternoon.

We did it because we wanted to cover what was happening then because it was that consequential. So I will say... As Ben just mentioned a minute ago, if you didn't listen to Friday afternoon's pod, I'd encourage you to go back and listen to it. I believe this will go down in history as the most disastrous Oval Office meeting that has ever occurred. We're going to break that down.

We're going to break down the fallout that has happened in three days since that meeting. We're also going to talk about the fact that tomorrow is the first State of the Union address for the second Donald Trump term. We're going to talk about what President Trump is likely going to say tomorrow and how it's going to be received. All on today's pod.

Well, Zelensky's Oval Office performance was disastrous. And listen, at some level, it's not complicated what he had to do. He was there to come to President Trump and seek his help. Seek his help, seek the United States to stand with him in some way, shape, and form in their war with Russia. And Zelensky is beleaguered. He is a wartime leader. He feels desperate.

But to be clear, the United States is also his principal patron, his funder, the person who has paid for the war for years, has sent hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine. And so in any sane and rational world, Zelensky would come into the Oval Office, hat in hand, would come into the Oval Office angry. Being grateful for the support that the United States has given.

And to be honest, kissing Trump's ass. I mean, this is not a complicated dynamic. And by the way, it's also not a new dynamic. I've been in a lot of Oval Office meetings. Just about every foreign leader comes in and treats the President of the United States with respect. That is incumbent on the office.

The United States is the world's leading superpower, and so foreign leaders, foreign heads of state, whether they like the President or not, they treat the President with respect. I will tell you, Any president, if there were a foreign leader who treated them the way Zelensky treated Trump, would have been pissed off and the consequences would have been bad.
