SPEAKER 12 :
The Mike Gallagher Show.
SPEAKER 07 :
Feelings towards Zelensky have changed also dramatically. Look at this. Confident Zelensky will do the right thing when it comes to world affairs. Back in 2022, it was the clear majority, 72%. Through the floor. Through the floor by 2024, just 48% of Americans say that they’re confident that Zelensky will do the right thing when it comes to world affairs.
SPEAKER 12 :
In the ReliefFactor.com studios, here’s Mike.
SPEAKER 08 :
That’s the numbers guy over at CNN, Harry Enten, pointing out that Zelensky’s popularity has plummeted pretty dramatically here in the United States, not to mention his approval in Ukraine is in the tank. They don’t like him. Yet, you know, the John Boltons and the Brian Kilmeades and the Karl Robes of the world, they sure like him. They see him as some kind of warrior and savior for the people of Ukraine. Here’s cut two. This is President Trump explaining what he wants to happen between Ukraine and Russia.
SPEAKER 02 :
President Zelensky, to restart these negotiations…
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, I just think you should be more appreciative because this country has stuck with them through thick and thin. We’ve given them much more than Europe and Europe should have given more than us because, as you know, that’s right there. That’s the border. This. This country really was like the fence on the border. It was very important to Europe. And I’m not knocking Europe. I’m saying that they were a lot smarter than Joe Biden, because Joe Biden didn’t have a clue. He just gave money hand over fist. And they should have been able to equalize with us. In other words, if we gave a dollar, they should have given. Well, we gave $350 billion. They probably gave $100. But on top of it all, they get their money back, because they’re doing it in the form of a loan. And it’s a secured loan. So when I saw that, which I’ve known about for a little while, I said, it’s time for us to be smart. At the same time, it’s great for them because they get us in the country taking the rare earth, which is going to fuel this big engine and especially the engine that we’ve in a very short time created. And we get something and we’re in the we’re there. We have a presence there. With all of that being said, I want one thing to happen. I want all of those young people to stop being killed. They’re being killed by the thousands every single week. Last week, 2,700 were killed. 2,700 young, in this case, just about all young boys from Ukraine and from Russia. And that’s not young people from the United States, but it’s on a human basis. I want to see it stop.
SPEAKER 08 :
He wants the killing to end. He wants the war to end. And he’s not going to take a side. Because there are young Russian boys that are being killed. There are young Ukrainians being killed. It’s a humanity issue. And you want to go down the rabbit hole of all rabbit holes, try to decide who’s wearing the white hat and who’s wearing the black hat. And then don’t start looking at corruption in Ukraine. You know what I mean? Nobody is pure as the driven snow on this. And Trump just wants it to end. And I’m confident this guy, I’m confident President Trump is going to help broker peace between these two nations. I feel very good about it. In fact, I feel good about just about everything. I can’t think of anything right now. Here’s some breaking news. Trump is going to end all federal funding for any college, school, or university that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned or permanently sent back to the country from which they came, he said, in a Truth Social post. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on the crime, arrested. No masks. I mean, it’s about time. Everything is changing at a rapid pace, and it’s changing for the better. Border crossing is dramatically down. Look, the tariffs is something that he strongly believes will turn this nation’s economy around. Canada’s griping about it. Mexico is whining about it. China’s not happy about it. You either trust his instincts or you don’t. And I truly know that the mood of this country is shifting. In fact, I know this audience’s mood is shifting. Thanks to Barrett Media, they did a nice profile of our show. It appears this morning at barrettmedia.com. We also reposted it on X. If you follow me on X at Gallagher Show, really nice article by Garrett Seawright, one of their great writers over there at Barrett Media. They’re doing great work.

Barrett Media is doing great work. So if you want to see the article where I talk about you, talk about this audience and your level of excitement and anticipation and enthusiasm. And, yeah, we talk about our Food for the Poor campaign. Here I was, I walked into this studio, and I thought I would explain that we’re kind of behind our typical benchmarks for this campaign, and you would just, it would explode with donations. If right now 50 people donated $100, we’d get to almost $12,000 in donations. All I need is 50 people to donate $100. Mikeonline.com. I don’t know why I’m so depressed about this campaign. It’s actually starting out pretty good. $6,000, pretty good first day. $40,000 goal. We’ll get there. We’ll get to our goal. I shouldn’t be waiting for the guy to say thank you when I open the door for him. If I just pray, it will come. I’m going to pray right now. that in the next 20 minutes, 50 people listening or watching this show will pop in $100. And make some comments as you put in the donation, and I’ll read your comments online. You want to do a shout-out to somebody? Have millions of people hear it? I’ll read it. Because you can see the comments on the screen. William from Sacramento just made a $100 donation. Thanks to Jeff, Grove City. Listen to you often, Mike. Keep up the good work. Go Bucs and go Jackets. You got it. You got it, Jeff. Joe in Simpsonville, South Carolina, $10. Thank you, Jim. It was Jim, rather. Sean, $25. Tim W. made a one-time donation of $325. Thank you, Tim W. So if you want to make a comment, I’ll read your comment online. How about that? Maybe that’s the incentive. I’m happy to read 50 comments. We need 50 $100 donors in the next 15 minutes. That’s $5,000, right? Is my math right? That will take us to almost $12,000. which will make me the happiest guy in the world. Look, a happy Mike makes for a happy life for you. If I’m happy, you’re happy. So we can get there. So right now, and let me, should we pray publicly? Let’s pray. God, please touch the hearts of 50 people who are listening and watching this show right now. May 50 people go to MikeOnline.com and click on the Food for the Poor banner, Feed Their Future, and make a $100 tax-free donation. May they put an inspirational comment in there that I can read on the air. And may we hit that benchmark in the next 15 minutes. We do this in your name. Amen.

I can barely hear you.
SPEAKER 09 :
I just want to thank you for what you’re doing.
SPEAKER 08 :
I’m going to be done. Darn it. Teresa, can you even get a better, if you can connect with Melody on line three, I can barely hear her. Dan in Phoenix. Hey, Dan.
SPEAKER 10 :
Hi, thanks for taking my call.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, sure.
SPEAKER 10 :
Welcome to the show. Thank you. The war in Ukraine, I don’t think Zelensky has the power to say anything about it because the reality is In 1917, the world bankers took over the banking system in Russia when they got rid of the king. In 2017, the contract was up to renewal, and Putin refused to renew the banking system of Russia to be part of the world banking. And that’s what it’s all about. It’s not about Zelensky or Russia or this and that. It’s about the money. It’s about the banking system.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, the banking system. Got it. Dan, thank you very much. Let’s get Melody back. Melody, you back with us?
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, God bless you, Mike. I’m a first-time caller.
SPEAKER 08 :
Thank you. You’re welcome.
SPEAKER 09 :
I just want to thank you for what you’re doing for Food for the Poor. I’ll be donating $50.
SPEAKER 08 :
Thank you. No, that’s wonderful. You’re going to feed starving children. Thank you, Melody.
SPEAKER 09 :
Anyway, I just wanted to say, as far as the door thing you had with that old man, you know, in the customer service business, I used to get people that were really rude. And I always felt like, you know, God just said, you know, they’re just having a bad day and they’re just taking it out on you. Don’t take it personal.
SPEAKER 08 :
That’s exactly right. Well, and not only that, but like I said earlier, who knows what he’s going through, right? He might be going through a terrible thing in his life.
SPEAKER 09 :
That’s exactly what I was thinking. But anyway, as far as… Zelensky, I think he was counseled by Schumer and Pelosi to just give Donald Trump a really bad time. You know, we’ve sent them billions of dollars. There’s no accountability for it. And his wife is driving a Bentley in Morocco. I mean, it’s unbelievable. There’s no accountability for all this money.
SPEAKER 08 :
And, you know, I also know. I also know that at the end of the day, we’re going to do what is in the world’s best interest. And ultimately, we have to step up. We’ve got to stand up and do what’s right. Here’s Kentucky, Louisville. Mike, we know Putin and Russia are corrupt. We know that Ukraine and possibly Zelensky are corrupt. Unfortunately, now we know that the American government outside of this administration is corrupt. That’s a Democrat machine. That’s a Republican establishment. All of bureaucracy corrupt and known to be corrupt. How are Americans going to react if Democrats led by Jasmine Crockett storm out of President Trump’s speech tonight? How will the country react? How will normal people take that? I want to share that and a whole lot more with you coming up. Let me look at the screen. Let me see how we’re doing. I’ve got a sense of dread. Are we going to do well? Are people going to step up? Let’s see. Oh, look at that.
SPEAKER 1 :

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
SPEAKER 12 :
He’s the happy conservative warrior. From the Relief Factor Studios, here’s Mike Deller.
SPEAKER 08 :
I will never forget the moment that Nancy Pelosi tore up President Trump’s State of the Union address. And I think for millions of Americans, that was the moment that we recognized that the Democrats are so wildly out of control and completely out of touch with the American people. What’s going to happen tonight? Already, people like Jasmine Crockett, AOC, and Ilhan Omar are promising some form of disruption to during the president’s joint session of Congress address. Here was Congresswoman Omar with Jen Psaki on MSNBC last night.
SPEAKER 09 :
There have been walkouts in the past. Is that still a possibility? What does defiance look like?
SPEAKER 02 :
I mean, it will look different for every member. I think this go around. We shouldn’t be surprised if we see walkouts. We shouldn’t be surprised if we see, you know, the kind of coordinated effort in addressing a certain way to send a message. We shouldn’t be surprised if we see people might even, you know, verbally react to to some of the lies that we know he is going to tell about the work that his administration is doing and the harm that it’s causing the American people.
SPEAKER 08 :
I truly hope they go all out tonight, don’t you? I really do. It’s bad for the country, and my heart hurts for the United States of America that these vicious leftists are so hell-bent on sowing discord and divisiveness Rather than try to be unified. Because a lot of us are feeling a lot of unity right now. Millions of Americans are so glad that there’s clarity coming from Washington, D.C. for a change. So look, how do you think America will react? 800-655-MIKE. How do you think the country, will people have the same visceral reaction like I did when Pelosi ripped up the State of the Union speech? Will people have the same angry, epic response? For me, that moment with Pelosi changed everything. It was the moment I realized this is not a political party that we can even work with. She was the Speaker of the House. That’s why she was sitting up there on that lofty perch. And I’ll never forget the image of her tearing up that speech. It will stay with me for the rest of my life. It was one of those moments that was as shameful and as despicable as anything I’ve ever seen in the body politic. So my question is, how will Americans respond this time around if they pull some shenanigans or antics to try to disrupt President Trump’s speech? We want to welcome you in. We’ve got a lot to cover today. It’s Tuesday. There’s a lot of breaking news here in the Relief Factor studios. My number is 800-655-MIKE. I want to share some personal news about, once again, the way this audience lifts me up. It is extraordinary. Every time I get down, you save me. Because I’ve had a bad, bad day. My morning started out terribly. Train got stuck. I’m in New York City. Opened the door for a guy. He didn’t say thank you. That just annoyed the heck out of me. I’m behind on my food for the poor campaign. The new kid is doing great. And I’m like struggling a little bit. And then I walk into this studio and everything gets better. I want to share all that news with you in just a little bit. But let’s talk about what the Democrats’ efforts tonight to disrupt President Trump’s speech might result in. Incidentally, we’re going to be hosting our Salem News Channel coverage beginning at 8 p.m. Eastern. I’ll be in the anchor chair hosting our pre-speech coverage tonight. Watch it everywhere. Salem News Channel, SNC.TV. We’ve got a bunch of great guests. My friend Chris Stegall and I think Ken Rosato is going to be there. And we’ve got a liberal we’re going to add into the mix. That’ll be fun. So join us tonight on the Salem News Channel for our pre-speech coverage beginning at 8 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. Pacific. It’ll be our President Trump speech. joint session of Congress speech. Not a State of the Union, because there’s only been an office a month and a half. They don’t call it the State of the Union. That’ll be next year. And I’ll bet it’s going to be even better than it is tonight. 800-655-MIKE, 800-655-6453. Hope you join us. Ph.D. weight loss has changed my life, and I’ve got a little secret for you. You know Big Pharma and semaglutide and the shots in the belly.

You know, I get to be surrounded by great people like our friend Alfredo Ortiz. He’s going to join us in a couple of moments to talk about a wonderful, wonderful new initiative from our friends at Job Creators Network. We’re in this Food for the Poor campaign, and we try to bless children with much-needed food. These are kids who are malnourished. These are kids who are suffering. And we don’t want to have the government force people to make donations. And that’s sort of the Trump way, is giving comes from the heart. And I admit, came into work today, we were behind in our goals. And then look at all these donations that are coming in right now. Joseph just made a $250 donation from San Diego. Ricky from Washington, thank you, Mike, for what you do. God has always been there for my family and has always blessed us. When I’m able, I try to give back. So thank you, Ricky M., for your $100 donation. There’s Danny from Dallas. Mike, thank you for helping me fill the void since Rush has been gone. You’re a great American. Danny H., rather, in Atlanta, rather, not Dallas. Thank you, Danny H. Katrina, in loving memory of Reagan Shetsky, a four-year-old girl taken way too soon. Mike, you are the GOAT. We’ve been listening to you for years. It’s always a pleasure to help you and help the kids keep up the great work. And look, I came into work and I thought, gosh, we’re behind in our campaign. But you know what’s great this year is that there’s a thermometer. There’s a counter on the Food for the Poor page. So if you go to MikeOnline.com. and you click on that Feed Their Future banner, you’ll see right now we’ve raised $11,637 of our $40,000 goal. I’m praying that God will touch your heart. If we just get a couple hundred people to pop in $100, we’ll hit our goal. And maybe we’ll do it today. I know that’s too ambitious and I shouldn’t get cocky. I don’t want to get cocky because I came in really down. Everything went wrong today. Everything. Train got stuck. The A train didn’t work. People were rude this morning. Nothing’s going right. People are gloating. Another show is doing very well. And that’s, you know, good for him. I love the guy. Can’t even hate him because he’s a nice guy. But we’ve got to at least catch up to him. And then, of course, collectively, we’re going to feed a lot of starving children. We’re going to clothe a lot of needy families. We’re going to provide a lot of clean drinking water. It’s a beautiful Christian ministry. And again, we’ve got a long way to go, $11,637. But please, please consider $50, $75, $100, whatever you can afford. Just go to mikeonline.com to make your donation, and let’s feed their future. And thank you. Thanks for lifting me up because, again, how can I get down? I’ve got no right to be down. I’ve got friends like Alfredo Ortiz, who’s the CEO of Job Creators Network, who’s here to tell us about the Education Freedom Campaign from Job Creators Network. Alfredo, how can we be down when we’re surrounded by so many wonderful people?
SPEAKER 06 :
You can’t be down, Mike. And I have to tell you, you always bring a smile to my face. And I’m always thrilled knowing all the different campaigns you’re involved in and helping folks out. And I want to do something fun right now, kind of lift your spirits up for the day. Okay. Maybe while we’re doing this little interview, I want to match $1,000 of the next donations that come in. You’re kidding me. So let’s see if we can at least get $2,000 while I’m on air with you. Whoa.
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, that’s amazing. Thank you, Alfredo. That’s incredible. All right. So we’re going to watch the site because now there’s a counter and people can make a comment and everything. So go to MikeOnline.com. And in honor of Job Creators Network and Alfredo Ortiz’s wonderful offer of a $1,000 match, pop in $1,000. Alfredo will match it. I’ll tell you what. I’ll do you one better. I’ll match another $1,000. So we’ll get two $1,000 donors. We’ll have $4,000 just like that. Like that, like that. So thank you, Mike, for all you do. Well, see how you lift our spirits. And look, you’re a project, you’re a campaign that I’ve been bouncing off the walls about. I want to talk about this Education Freedom Campaign that you’re rolling out. I also am excited about your big annual gala in Savannah, Georgia. That’s going to be a great event. I know the spirit of Bernie Marcus is going to be with all of us. Last time I was your emcee for the big gala and Laura Ingram came to speak. We had all kinds of important, wonderful people. Kellyanne Conway was there. And Bernie was there as well via video. And it turned out to be, you know, one of his last sort of public interactions. He’s been the driving force behind Job Creators Network. And I know you keep Bernie close to your heart all the time, Alfredo.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, I really do. He was a friend, a mentor, a boss. Not an easy boss, I will tell you that much, but I enjoyed working with him and for him. He had a great vision and a great idea years ago to start Job Creators Network, which is basically small business members, small business owners advocating for themselves and for their futures. And that’s what we do at Job Creators Network. We’re so proud of the work we’ve done. And as you know, we were very involved in the 2017 Tax Cutting Jobs Act. We’re very much involved, again, for the tax extension. I call it the TCGA 2.0. There’s a lot of small business owners that are dependent on us doing this right and getting it right. And so we’re so proud to be able to carry this torch together. that Bernie lit for us years and years ago. And I feel the burden on my shoulders, trust me, because those are some big shoes to fill. But I’m committed to doing it, Mike. And I look forward to seeing you and all the other great people that we’re going to have at that event in May. And I think we’re going to be sending you a little link that you can put on your site shortly here.
SPEAKER 08 :
Good, good. Please do keep me posted on how I can keep the audience informed about the Big Job Creators Network Gala. Look, you’ve been such a great partner of ours over the years. And when I first learned about the Education Freedom Movement, and I heard that you guys were advancing a campaign, I thought, this is perfect. This is the kind of stuff that JCN does. The heart of the Education Freedom Movement, Alfredo, is really based on such a simple premise. Parents know the needs of their own kids best. Can you talk a little bit about this and how Job Creators Network is tied into this Education Freedom Movement going on in America?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, absolutely. I think we all got a rude awakening during COVID. And when we actually saw what our kids were being taught and how they’re being taught, I think everybody pretty much said, oh, my gosh, wait a minute, this cannot be. And so, look, parents do know exactly what is best for their kids, not the government. not some entity in DC. And so I’m so excited, first of all, that Linda McMahon just got confirmed as education secretary last night. I think she’s gonna be great for the movement. I think she’s gonna be great to fulfill one of President Trump’s number one promises and campaigns, which is to basically abolish the Department of Education. We don’t need a Department of Education based in D.C. We need to push it down back to the states, back to the governors and the people, and let the parents choose. Let the parents decide what’s best for their kids. Only the parents really know that, not some— educators, not some D.C. bureaucrats. And so I’m so excited that we’re able to be part of that vision that President Trump, he put that education freedom in the main platform of the Republican Party this year. And so this is a big, big deal. It’s civil rights movement of today. It really is. When you look at the test scores that have been coming out recently, Mike, it’s pathetic. It’s sad. Fifty five million kids are counting on us getting this right. And so far, we’re not. This country is not getting education right. And you know what? It’s not one state versus the other state, but it’s the United States of America against the rest of the country. We’re just failing miserably. And I know President Trump talks a lot about making America great again, but I will submit to you this, Mike, is that we can’t make America great again unless we make America smart again, and it starts with education freedom.
SPEAKER 08 :
You know, what I love about Job Creators Network and your team and Alfredo, you and Elaine and all the wonderful people who work so hard on behalf of entrepreneurs and Main Street USA is the clarity of these campaigns that you guys embrace. For example, you have two goals, as I understand it, to talk a little bit about the wins in the various states on this issue. And also… Pressure, you know, legislatures that haven’t passed education freedom bills to do so. So can you lay that out? And I’m going to give a website that everybody can go to to support this movement. But lay out what the goals are, what the what what the what the whole objectives are in Job Creators Network embracing the education freedom movement in America.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, absolutely. Well, it’s been a movement that’s been around forever, you know, I should say probably for the past 20 years. I know Secretary Bennett, who’s one of our senior advisors on this education movement for Job Creators Network, has been involved in it. But, you know, it’s been called school choice up until us, really, frankly, calling it education freedom because education But unfortunately, school choice has been co-opted by the left as bad words, right? School choice, that’s anti-teacher, anti-student. And so we’re saying, you know what? Forget about trying to change people’s thoughts about school choice. Let’s talk about what it is. It’s education freedom for all, for our parents, for our children. And so that’s what this is about. And yes, we have two very simple goals with this campaign. One is to highlight the wins. There’s some beautiful wins that are happening all across the country and have happened already in West Virginia, in Iowa, in Arkansas, in Arizona. Amazing wins there. The governor’s Georgia just recently. One big, big win that just happened is in Tennessee. And we were very involved in that one as well. And so these are wins that we need to highlight, and we need to be able to take these what I call local wins, state-level wins, and nationalize those wins. Let everybody across this country hear about this because, unfortunately, they don’t. And all they hear about is school choice is bad when education freedom is good. Education freedom helps.
SPEAKER 08 :
It does. And this is something that so many parents are grateful for. And I’m just relieved that an organization like Job Creators Network is behind it. If you want to learn what’s happening in your own state, and this is where it begins, you’ve got to start on the local level. You go to educationfreedomusa.com.

In the ReliefFactor.com studios, here’s Mike.
SPEAKER 08 :
On social media, but… A little bit earlier today, Volodymyr Zelensky posted on X, none of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. Scott Jennings reposted that from CNN saying, Zelensky’s obviously learned a valuable lesson. Never take advice from Chris Murphy. the Democrat from Connecticut, unless you need a clown to make balloon animals at a child’s birthday party. That’s the problem here. There’s not a lot of serious people that go front and center on this debate between Americans over what to do with Ukraine. Support for Ukraine and our endless funding has now reached a minority status. The majority of Americans do not want endless funding for Ukraine. And I wonder about people like the Fox News guy, Brian Kilmeade, who says, you know, Russia’s the bad guy here. Ukraine’s the good guy. They have to win. If they don’t win, Europe is next. That’s the neocon sort of party line. And I wonder what folks like Brian think winning looks like. Defeating Russia? The United States engaging in World War III with Russia? Is that what people like him want? I always like to turn to smart people at times like these. KT McFarlane. initiated the Trump administration’s reassessment of a range of national security issues, beginning with North Korea and China. She served as deputy national security advisor under Michael Flynn for the first four months of the Trump administration, and she’s one of our favorite guests. We always feel blessed when KT McFarlane can join us on the Mike Gallagher Show. How you been, KT?
SPEAKER 01 :
That’s been great. And what a lovely introduction. It’s a great honor and privilege to be with you.
SPEAKER 08 :
I meant every word of it. We really appreciate your insights so very much. I’m looking forward to how President Trump will lay all this out. Can I first get your gut reaction to what happened in the White House the other day when Zelensky appeared in the Oval Office? What were your thoughts about the way that unfolded, KT?
SPEAKER 01 :
Well, I don’t think it was planned. I think it was President Zelensky seemed to think he could retrade that deal for the third time. Remember, this was the third time he basically turned that deal down. He turned it down two weeks before when the Treasury Secretary had an agreed document that he went to keep to sign. And then at the last minute, Zelensky said, no, I don’t think I want to sign it. And then a week later, Marco Rubio went to Munich for the Munich Security Conference. And again, by prior agreement, a document signed. about the rare earth minerals development. And Zelensky said, no, I don’t think I want to sign it. So I think when he went to the White House, he really thought he had President Trump by the tail. I think he totally miscalculated. The words to look for in no matter how this conversation goes forward are security guarantees. Right. Now, Zelensky says we have to have security guarantees from America before we have a mineral seal, before we have a ceasefire, before we have a peace agreement. And what he means by that is American boots on the ground. In other words, we’re not going to let him be part of NATO, but he’s going to kind of sneak a backdoor version of NATO in by insisting that Americans have to guarantee any security agreement. And that’s when President Trump hit the roof because he said, no, we’re not going to do this. You just want to stop. You want a forever war. You don’t want to have a peace agreement. You don’t want to go to the negotiating table.
SPEAKER 08 :
And you could see President Trump’s temper rising in that meeting. You could watch his body language. I mean, and you’re going to go into the Oval Office like a petulant child, practically, if you’re Zelensky, and start to browbeat J.D. Vance and Donald Trump. That’s not going to go well. It just isn’t. And for people who watch the whole thing, because, you know, we saw the 30-second, 60-second, two-minute sound bites on the evening news. But if you watch the whole meeting, people… walked away from that saying, wait a minute, that wasn’t Trump or Vance’s fault. Zelensky, you say it wasn’t planned, but didn’t Zelensky go in with an agenda? Do you buy the theory, KT McFarland, that folks like Susan Rice and Antony Blinken were really behind Zelensky’s public performance?
SPEAKER 01 :
A hundred percent. It’s that same group of people that have been in the Obama administration and then in the Biden administration, and they were the ones that discouraged Zelensky from going to the negotiating table a year into the Ukraine war. They’re the ones who said, quote, whatever it takes, as long as it takes. Mike, I went to Eastern European countries last spring and summer and right before the election to try to explain to some of the government leaders, this is what America first means. This is what it means for you. And every place I went, The they kept saying, well, we think that America is going to give Ukraine whatever it takes as long as it takes. I said, no, that’s, you know, new sheriff in town. If President Trump wins, the United States will push everybody to the negotiating table and the war. And then the advantage to Ukraine is once the war is over. The United States, everybody will invest hundreds of billions of dollars into Ukraine, joint venture deals. And then when President Trump, I think, brilliantly came up with this idea of having America help develop Ukraine’s rare earth minerals. You know, we don’t have any. Russia has some. Ukraine has a lot. China has a lot. We don’t have any. So it would have been good for us. It would have been great for Ukraine because it would have been an economic boost to them. And frankly, it would have guaranteed their security. Because if the United States is going to put thousands of American engineers and miners and project managers in eastern Ukraine, where the rare earth minerals are, do you really think that a president of the United States is going to walk away from maybe a trillion dollar American investment? No. And do you really think that Vladimir Putin is going to be dumb enough To kill thousands of Americans on his way to Kiev? No. So Donald Trump had figured out an economic way, a trade way, a business way to give Ukraine what it wants and needs, which is a security guarantee. Not boots on the ground, not another war, but get out of the war and have an economic relationship with Ukraine.
SPEAKER 08 :
If we had an honest mainstream media, KT, there would be a real true analysis that says just what you says. The conclusion is this really is brilliant. The mineral rights strategy is a brilliant one. And the media is so invested in tearing Trump down, they never give him the benefit of the doubt. And KT McFarland, they never learn. They never do. They never listen.
SPEAKER 01 :
They never learn. They never listen. You know, it’s a circular argument they make. And Zelensky, the Democrats, mainstream media, they all make the same argument. Putin is a bad guy. We can’t trust him in a negotiation. Therefore, don’t negotiate because we can’t trust him to carry out a negotiation. OK, we get that. But you should at least negotiate. And then when President Trump came up again with an elegant solution that plays to everyone’s strengths, they wouldn’t take it. I mean, it was like, take the win, guys. This would have been really great. And now what do you have? You have a relationship which is disintegrating by the moment. Ukraine can’t survive for more than a couple of weeks or months without American assistance. Do you know that your tax dollars, you don’t know what it’s going to pay for, not just weapons to fight in the Ukraine war, but your tax dollars are going to pay for the salaries of the Ukraine civil servant. The salaries and retirement and health care plans of the Ukraine civil servant.
SPEAKER 08 :
Health care benefits. It’s insane. This is why any day I get a chance to visit with KT McFarlane, I consider it a good day. Keep fighting the good fight. Come by and visit with us again. Thanks, KT. Shall do. Thank you. Great having you. Appreciate her so very much. She’s right. I mean, and I always appreciate an honest analysis. Whatever you think of Donald Trump, you’re going to try to negotiate against him? This isn’t his wheelhouse. This is what he’s good at. This is what he’s great at.
