Senator Ted Cruz

There was a press conference. Donald Trump canceled the press conference. So the agreement on rare earth minerals was not signed. Trump essentially said, get the hell out. And in fact, I'm going to read the truth social that Trump put out after the meeting. He said, quote, we had a very meaningful meeting in the White House today.

Much was learned that could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure. It's amazing what comes out through emotion. And I have determined that President Zelensky is not ready for peace if America is involved because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations. I don't want advantage. I want peace.

That's a technical diplomatic term. And I will say, by the way, let me just do it aside. This is one of the great things about podcasts. If you're used to watching... Meet the press. Yes. People rarely use phrases like crap the bed on Meet the Press. Now, the host often will crap the bed on Meet the Press. That's also accurate. But they rarely will describe it thusly.

The virtue of a podcast is you talk directly to people. If you're doing this right... It should feel like you're sitting at a coffee shop or a bar and having a conversation about what the hell, man, did you see what just happened? And that's the whole power of this medium is that there's not a press intermediary that decides here's what you get to hear, here's what you don't. This will go down.

Look, you and I, we did another emergency podcast. We don't do many emergency pods. We only do it when the breaking news is of sufficient magnitude to justify it. But you and I did an emergency pod the night of the first and only debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Yep. And as soon as that debate ended, you and I immediately recorded a podcast, put it out an hour after the debate was over.

We said that night, that this will prove the most consequential presidential debate in the history of our country. Why? And what I said that night, Joe Biden will not be the nominee. This debate was so bad that he's done. He will be pulled from the ticket. He will not be the nominee. That obviously ended up proving accurate. In this instance.
