Speaker 1: I don't know how many of you remember that last week I brought you some moments
from an interview that Fox News host Maria BARTIROMO, a historical a Trump suck up gave
Trump. There apparently is either a second part to that interview or there was a second
interview done. It's not completely clear, but I'm going to play a couple of interesting
clips because they really they attempt to relate to policy. And Trump just looks confused
and sounds confused, doesn't answer anything, and it's all just a disaster. Here is Maria
BARTIROMO asking Donald Trump a specific policy question and good for her. Most of the questions
that she asks are just opportunities for self-aggrandizement and allow Trump to paint a picture of himself
as a genius that's being treated so unfairly by everybody. But this is an actual policy
question, too. Maria BARTIROMO is credit. And the question is, would you stop giving
money to Ukraine at this point? The reason this is a good question is that Trump and
so many others on the Republican Party in the Republican Party have been saying Joe
Biden is wrong to help Ukraine. That's a waste of money. We shouldn't be doing any of this
stuff. Okay. So specific policy question, she asks it. Here is how Trump answers.
Speaker 4: Would you stop the money to Ukraine? At this point? I get the war settled. The
money is number one. I tell Europe, you got to you're about $100 billion plus short, okay?
You got to pay because Europe is smiling all the way to the bank. We're giving all of these
this Europe is doing very little compared to the United States and it affects them more.
Look, no matter how you look at it, they're right there. We're an ocean apart. Why are
we at 150 billion and they're at 20. They have two. And you know, their economies almost
exactly our size. If you add it all up, you add up the countries of Europe. And we have
a very similar economy that they have a very similar to the United, they should be at the
same number that we're at, if not more. And they get away with murder. And they did with
Naito, too. You know what I did with Naito? They weren't paying and I made them pay and
took in hundreds of billions of dollars. Speaker 1: Now, remember, the US did not take
any take in any hundreds of billions of dollars because of what Trump did with Naito. That's
a lie. But the most important aspect to this is that Trump doesn't answer the question.
And I'll be honest with you, we know the answer to the question if indeed Donald Trump becomes
president and takes office in January of 2025 and the Russian invasion of Ukraine is still
going on, Trump is not going to cut the money to Ukraine. That is my prediction. He may
want to he may not want to he's not really being clear. He doesn't really even have a
a coherent sort of doctrine about this. It's all what is good for me. If I were in power,
I would end it all in 24 hours. And when he was asked how, he said, Well, I would just
call up Zelensky and I would go, got to settle, and then I would call Putin. I would say,
Got to settle. He would not actually stop the money to Ukraine. He doesn't have an answer.
He doesn't understand anything. And, of course, a direct question from Maria BARTIROMO that
he doesn't or can't answer. Can any of these Republicans answer a question? Pence's CNN
interview, we talked about it, no answers. DeSantis interviewed by Jake TAPPER, no actual
answers. Here is Maria BARTIROMO again. I think she's a disastrous Trump brown noser,
but she is at least trying to answer it to ask some questions. She asks Trump, what is
the most important issue for you in terms of policy? And I'll just play that play this
for you. Speaker 4: And with this, what is the most
important issue about your policy and your leadership that you want independents to understand?
Okay, ready Security for our nation, number one. And that's a very important issue for
independents and for women. And we're doing very well. You look at the polls, we're way
up on independents. Speaker 1: And he can't do it. He can't he
cannot stay focused. He's now talking about women in polling.
Speaker 4: Well, way up on women. They want security. They want safety. We're going to
close the border. We're going to get rid of all of the criminals that have been allowed
to come into our country that are causing this tremendous problem and terrorists that
are going to cause problems for many years to come. We are going to create the greatest
economy. We're going to become in energy independent. Energy prices are going to go way down. That's
going to take inflation down. Speaker 1: Okay. The important takeaway from
this is that when pressed, Trump is running on the same platform that he won with in 2016
but failed to achieve any of those promises, the same platform that Trump ran on in 2020
saying, I need a few more years to finish doing these things, which he lost on, and
he is running on the exact same platform in 2024. Now, is that a winning thing or is that
a loser? Using thing to run on the exact same platform that you failed to accomplish once
lost on the second time? I don't know. I don't know the answer. Maybe this time around it
will win him the election, but I wouldn't count
on it.
