Trump Drops a Major Red Pill About Putin and Ukraine- Wow!
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
There's so much happening on the world stage right now.
You are sorely missed.
We are watching what's unfolding in Ukraine.
You were so tough on Putin.
You made us energy independent.
You were tough on Nord Stream 2.
You went to NATO and said it's time for these countries to defend themselves.
What do you think right now of the media trying to say that you weren't tough on Putin?
Well, it's a corrupt media.
We have a very corrupt media in this country.
I think I've done a few things in terms of exposing that, to put it mildly.
They are absolutely terrible.
They don't want to talk about immigration.
They don't want to talk about election fraud.
They don't want to talk about a lot of other things.
And then they'll give you the opposite narrative.
There was never anybody tougher in Russia than I was.
And I would say that Putin would, if he was being honest, he would say that.
The sanctions I put on.
I was the one that ended Nord Stream.
Exactly. There was never anybody even close.
I mean, Nord Stream to them. Nord Stream 2 was the biggest thing.
Nobody ever even heard of it until I came along and complained.
And then I shut it down.
And there was never anything so big that happened to Russia shutting down Nord Stream 2.
And then Biden came in and he opened it up almost immediately.
I couldn't believe it. And now we are where we are.
It's a disgrace. The other thing, we are, and were just a little while ago, energy independent.
We were producing more energy by far than Russia or Saudi Arabia.
We're going to be double the size of both in a very short period of time, probably by within 12 months.
But we were energy independent for the first time in more than 72 years.
And that was a killer for Russia because we brought the price of energy down.
We were down at $30 a barrel, $32 a barrel, $40 a barrel.
And actually much less than that for a period of time.
And nobody had ever seen anything.
And that was certainly tough for Russia and other countries because they had to go out and they had to compete with those prices.
And now they're making a fortune with what's going on.
And we're buying energy from Russia.
Right. Is this crazy?
So now we're at $112 a barrel and it's fluctuating.
We're funding this war.
You made us energy independent, which also made us safer.
And I don't think a lot of people understand.
And you said this on the campaign trail a lot.
We have to have manufacturing in this country because what if we go to war?
We need to have energy independence.
You also said at CPAC you're the only president in the 21st century where Putin did not go
after land.
He did it under Bush.
He did it under Obama.
He's done it under Biden.
What do you say about Biden taking this Russian oil?
He took over Georgia.
He took over Crimea.
He took over.
Now he's taken over.
It looks like he's taken over the world the way Biden talks.
And during my four years, in fact, I watched Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd the other day, which
is not often that I watch him.
And he asked, I guess, Blinken a question.
How come this didn't happen during the four years that Trump was president?
And you know what the answer was?
I don't know. But I can tell you why.
We were very tough on Russia.
And they knew this would never have happened had the election not been rigged.
This would have been So easy.
And by the way, that includes China because China is going to be making a move soon, in my opinion, on Taiwan.
And Beijing is up for grabs if you look at it.
China is going to make a move, and a very strong move on Taiwan.
And I would say sooner rather than later.
Now the Olympics, I was saying after the Olympics, now the Olympics is over.
They see what fools we made of ourselves in getting out of Afghanistan the way they got out.
I got it down to 2,000 soldiers and the rest was easy.
And there's never been anything so mishandled, so bungled, so incompetent.
