Full Episode
Donald Trump just wrapped up a disastrous press conference in the Oval Office here. He says that the United States is doing very well with Russia, and he says they're bombing the hell out of Ukraine, and Ukraine doesn't have the cards, and that's why the U.S. is doing well with Russia. It's horrifying. Here, play this clip.
Russia, if I may, President Putin is bombing Ukraine.
Do you still believe him when he tells you that he wants peace?
You know, I believe him. I believe him. I think we're doing very well with Russia. But right now, they're bombing the hell out of Ukraine and Ukraine. I'm finding it more difficult, frankly, to deal with Ukraine. And they don't have the cards. They don't have the cards.
Yeah, now it's just a bizarre scene in the White House as Donald Trump says that Putin is hitting Ukraine harder. He keeps on saying that, but he says that's how you know Putin wants peace. He's doing what he should be doing. He's hitting them harder, he says. Here, play this clip.
Peter, it's a lot of soldiers on both sides, I agree. Do you, Mr. President, think that Vladimir Putin is taking advantage of the U.S. pause right now on intelligence and military aid to Ukraine?
I actually think he's doing what anybody else would do. I think he wants to get it stopped and settled, and I think he's hitting them harder than he's been hitting them. And I think probably anybody in that position would be doing that right now. He wants to get it ended, and I think Ukraine wants to get it ended, but I don't see it. It's crazy. They're taking tremendous punishment.
I don't quite get it, but I suspect, Michael, he probably wants to get it ended.
He does, Mr. President. The Russians are taking incredible losses on the front. As the president has said, this is a meat grinder of people, of material, of national treasure. And no one else has any solutions except to let this war continue forever. But I'll add.
