AXIOS HAS OBTAINED SOME LEAKED AUDIO FROM THE G-7 SUMMIT THAT
HAPPENED RECENTLY AND THAT IS A SUMMIT THAT WAS A DISASTER.
IT TOOK LACE IN CANADA AND IT ESSENTIALLY ENDED WITH TRUMP
SOURING HIS RELATIONS WITH SOME OF OUR LONGEST STANDING ALLIES.
WE HAVE NOW LEARNED MORE ABOUT THOSE INTERACTIONS THROUGH
THIS LEAKED AUDIO.
TRUMP APPARENTLY TOLD THE OTHER LEADERS THAT NATO IS AS BAD
AS NAFTA.
THAT IS SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND BECAUSE THE NATO SUMMIT IS
GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT MONTH IN JULY IN BRUSSELS.
RIGHT NOW THE G-7 LEADERS ARE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE
NATO SUMMIT IS GOING TO BE VERY SIMILAR WHERE TRUMP IS GOING TO
BE COMBATIVE.
AND REMEMBER NATO IS THE TYPE OF ALLIANCE THAT RUSSIA IS NOT
IN FAVOR OF.
TRUMP MADE THE COMMENT AFTER BEING ñ
AFTER TELLING G-7 LEADERS THAT CRIMEA PROBABLY SHOULD
BELONG TO RUSSIA BECAUSE EVERYONE THERE SPEAKS RUSSIAN.
>>TWO THINGS HERE, FIRST NATO IS AS BAD AS NAFTA.
IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO DECIPHER WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT.
WHEN IS A TRADE AGREEMENT, THE OTHER A MILITARY ALLIANCE.
NATO WAS FROM DECADES AGO, AND IS THE VERY BASIS FOR OUR
FOREIGN POLICY WHICH IS THAT THE WESTERN WORLD AND DEMOCRACIES
STAND TOGETHER, AND IF YOU ATTACK ONE YOU ATTACK US ALL.
THAT IS WHY A LOT OF THE EASTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES WANT TO
BE IN NATO.
NAFTA IS A TRADE AGREEMENT, I FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT IS
GOING ON IN THE CHILD'S MIND.
HE SAYS OH, EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ARE NOT PAYING THEIR BILLS
INTO NATO ENOUGH.
EVERYTHING IS FINANCIAL.
SO IF IT TURNS OUT THAT ESTONIA WAS A LITTLE BEHIND IN THEIR
BILLS ñ SO WHAT IF RUSSIA TAKES ESTONIA.
THAT WOULD BE THE LOGIC BASED ON WHAT HE SAID ABOUT CRIMEA.
SECOND POINT IS, I THINK HE IS CONTROLLED BY PUTIN.
YOU MIGHT DISAGREE AND THERE IS GOOD DISAGREEMENT ON THAT ISSUE.
IF YOU ARE VLADIMIR PUTIN, WHETHER TRUMP IS WORKING FOR YOU
ARE NOT, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WOULD WANT TRUMP TO SAY.
>>WHY WOULD HE OUT OF NOWHERE FEEL THE NEED TO MENTION CRIMEA?
AND GIVE THE WEAK SAUCE ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF RUSSIA ANNEXING
CRIMEA?
SO SHOULD ñ IF SOME OTHER COUNTRY SPEAKS ENGLISH
SHOULD THEY BE ABLE TO COME AND OVERTAKE THE UNITED STATES?
THAT
IS JUST A STUPID ARGUMENT.
HE JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
THIS IS A VERY NUANCED ISSUE.
BECAUSE TRUMP IS ACTUALLY RIGHT.
SOME OF HIS ALLIES COULD BE SPENDING MORE MONEY AND FUNDING
IT.
HERE IS WHAT IS FASCINATING.
HE HAS NO INTEREST IN NEGOTIATING IT.
INSTEAD OF TRYING TO NEGOTIATE IT HE JUST ATTACKS THEM, AND HE
IS MESSAGING OR SIGNALING HE IS TRYING TO PULL OUT OF THIS
AGREEMENT.
>>THERE IS LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE IN AMERICAN COULD'VE
SAID THAT WOULD'VE MADE PUTIN HAPPIER.
IF THERE IS A COINCIDENCE, IT IS A HELL OF A COINCIDENCE.
TO BE CLEAR, TRUMP SAYS HE IS TOTALLY AGAINST NAFTA AND
THAT IS A TERRIBLE IDEA.
SO IF NATO IS LIKE NAFTA, IT MEANS IT IS TERRIBLE AND
TRUMP IS AGAINST IT.
MUST BE SAYING YES.
BUT HE IS LIKE WAY, I AM NOT DONE.
IF IT IS NOT ANYTHING ñ HOW CAN I GET AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT THAT
DOES MORE FOR ME AND THE OLIGARCHS THAT RUN RUSSIA.
I DON'T THINK IT IS A COINCIDENCE, AS WE KNOW FROM THE
PUBLIC RECORDS, PLEASE STOP SAYING THERE IS NO EVIDENCE.
THERE IS MOUNTING EVIDENCE THAT TRUMP HAS DONE FINANCIAL DEALS
WITH RUSSIA AND WITH RUSSIAN OLIGARCHS THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE
FOR DECADES.
THEY APPEAR TO HAVE EVERY TRAPPING OF MONEY
LAUNDERING AND PUBLIC.
HIS OWN IDIOT SONS HAVE ADMITTED IT.
ONE OF THE IDIOTS SAID APPARENTLY THEY REALLY LIKE
GOLF.
ANOTHER AMAZING COINCIDENCE.
A GUY WHO HAD ALL THIS MONEY AFTER HE WENT BANKRUPT FOR THE
SIX TIME, DOES THINGS THAT DELIGHT THE RUSSIAN OLIGARCHS.
AMAZING COINCIDENCE.
>> AFTER THIS NATO SUMMIT HE WILL BE GOING TO A DIFFERENT
COUNTRY TO MEET WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN.
I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT IN THE CONTEXT OF EVERYTHING GOING ON
BECAUSE WHILE HE IS BEING INCREDIBLY COMBATIVE WITH OUR
ALLIES HE IS ALSO SIMULTANEOUSLY BEING FRIENDLY WITH
VLADIMIR PUTIN.
HE WILL MEET WITH PUTIN JULY 16 IN HELSINKI.
KEEP IN MIND HE ALSO RECENTLY TWEETED THAT RUSSIA SAYS
SOMETHING SO WE SHOULD ALL BELIEVE IT.
>>I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU, AND I KNOW SOME OF YOU JUST DON'T
WANT TO BELIEVE IT.
HE IS THE SERBIAN CANDIDATE ñ SORRY THE SIBERIAN CANDIDATE.
THE SERBS ARE ALLIES WITH RUSSIA.
NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND THAT IS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES WRITES THAT TWEET AFTER AFTER EVERY INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
SAYS THEY WERE FAVORING DONALD TRUMP IN THE ELECTION.
EVEN THE INCREDIBLY BIASED HOUSE REPUBLICANS LED BY DEVON NUNEZ
SAID THE RUSSIANS MEDDLED IN THE ELECTION.
ENTRANT COMES OUT AND SAYS I LIKE HAVING A MEETING WITH
VLADIMIR PUTIN AFTER I DESTROY NATO.
AND I KNEW HE MUST NOT HAVE MEDDLED WITH OUR ELECTIONS.
IF YOU ARE IN THE CROWD THAT SAYS THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF
COLLUSION, AT A BARE MINIMUM HE IS MONSTROUSLY STUPID.
COME ON.
IF YOU THINK THAT SHOWS YOU THAT HE IS NOT BIASED IN FAVOR OF
PUTIN, I HAVE A BRIDGE IN BROOKLYN TO SELL YOU THAT BE
CAREFUL SOME OF THEM SPEAK RUSSIAN AROUND THERE SAID TRENT
MIGHT GIVE IT AWAY.
