00:00Well, look, you know, Trump hates to back a loser.
00:02And Zelensky, a couple of years ago, looked like somebody who was losing.
00:06And he's been pro-Putin for many years.
00:10Suddenly, Ukraine's winning.
00:11They're, you know, doing extensive long-range and medium-range targeting of Russian assets.
00:19They've crippled Crimea.
00:22You know, they're just—it's now Russia and Putin on the ropes, not Ukraine.
00:28Ukraine is on the offense.
00:30And so he's switching sides.
00:32He loves to back a winner.
00:33And I don't think it has anything to do with the relationship.
00:37And it's, you know, it's good.
00:39But he's not lifting a finger, really, to help Ukraine.
00:45There's no weaponry coming into Ukraine from the U.S. that Joe Biden didn't initially greenlight.
00:53There's still some intel help and other things.
00:56But he's cut Ukraine off from most of the help that it was getting.
01:00The Patriot thing is fine.
01:02You know, Zelensky asked for it back in May.
01:05It'll take years before they're able to develop any.
01:09So it's a good thing, but not something that is useful in the short to medium term.
01:14And look, the reason he's had to do it is he fired so many of the Patriot missiles that we
01:22have, and we have very few and produce very few every year, in the war in Iran.
01:28So he's depleted the supply, and that's left Ukraine unable to shoot down Russian ballistic missiles.
01:38And you're seeing, you know, scores of people dying in Ukraine because of that.
