JOHN, RICHARD AND SCOTT, THANK
YOU SO MUCH.
>>> WELL, ELON MUSK IS RATTLING
ZELENSKYY, UKRAINIAN TROOPS ARE
RATTLING RUSSIAN FORCES.
RUSSIA’S FRONT LINE REPORTEDLY
COLLAPSING IN SOUTH UKRAINE.
UKRAINIAN TROOPS LIBERATED
DOZENS OF TOWNS IN A MATTER OF
HOURS, AND THE OFFENSIVE IN THE
EAST STILL VERY MUCH MOVING
FORWARD.
U.S. OFFICIALS CELEBRATING THE
PROGRESS, BUT THEY’RE WARNING
THERE’S LOTS OF HEAVY FIGHTING
AHEAD.
HOW LONG BEFORE PUTIN PULLS
EMERGENCY CHUTE, AND WHAT DOES
THAT LOOK LIKE?
JOINING ME NOW, SEATTLE RADIO
HOST AND U.S. ARMY COMBAT
VETERAN, HE’S GOT HIS BY
BINOCULARS ON BACKWARDS, BRIAN
SUITS.
HE IS HERE.
[LAUGHTER]
SUITS, WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF WHERE
PUTIN’S AT RIGHT NOW?
>> WELL, SINCE HE PROVOKED THE
WAR AND THE UNITED STATES
DIDN’T, HE’S PROBABLY IN
COMPLETE SHOCK TO FIND OUT THAT
A HIS ARMY COMPLETELY SUCKS.
THERE IS AN OFFRAMP FOR BOTH
SIDES, AND IT’S GOT NOTHING TO
DO WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS, IT DOES
HAVE TO DO WITH NUCLEAR THREATS
AND ALL THAT.
WHAT HE’S DISCOVERING IS THE
FASTER YOU PUT UP TRAINED GUYS
THERE, THE FASTER THE UKRAINIANS
CAPTURE HEM.
I’VE ALREADY SEEN ON TELEGRAM
TODAY SOME OF THE DEBRIEFS OF
GUYS WHO JUST WITH SIX DAYS
AGO --
KENNEDY: HELLO?
>> DON’T CALL ME NOW.
KENNEDY: BRYAN, YOU’RE ON TV.
>> I KNOW.
[LAUGHTER]
MY MOM!
BUT ALREADY, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE
ARE -- BECAUSE THERE’S AN 800
NUMBER, THE E GIVE WILL LENT IN
RUSSIA, CALLED I DON’T WANT TO
DIE.
YOU CALL IT AND GIVES YOU
DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO
SURRENDERER.
SO WHAT WE’RE SEEING ON
TELEGRAM, WHICH IS UP FILTERED
IN RUSSIA, BECAUSE THIS IS
GETTING TO HIM, IT’S A COMPLETE
DISASTER DOWN THERE.
HIS GENERALS ARE NOT PROVIDING
THE VICTORY THEY PROMISED BACK
IN FEBRUARY.
PROBABLY HE HAS A FALLBACK PLAN,
AND IT’S PROBABLY NOT A BAD ONE.
PEACE IS WHAT YOU PRIZE MORE
THAN SOVEREIGNTY OR FIGHTING
AGGRESSION.
KENNEDY: SO WHAT IS THE OFFRAMP?
>> THE OFFRAMP IS PROBABLY THAT
HE GOES BACK TO THE FEBRUARY
23RD BORDERS, A U.N.
PEACE-KEEPING FORCE VERY MUCH
LIKE THE DMZ ON THE KOREAN
PENINSULA, YES BETWEEN UKRAINE
AND RUSSIA.
THIS DOESN’T HAPPEN BEFORE THE
UKRAINIANS ARE DONE WITH THEIR
COUNTEROFFENSIVE IN THE SOUTH
AND THE NORTH BECAUSE THEY’RE ON
THE VERGE OF REGAINING THE
TERRITORY THE SINCE FEBRUARY
23RD ANYWAY.
BUT IN ALL LIKELIHOOD, IT COMES
BACK TO HIM BECAUSE HE HAS TO
HAVE SOMETHING.
HE GETS TO SAY, LOOK, ALL THE
PEOPLE THAT ARE RUSSIAN NOW LIVE
IN A COUNTRY CALL RUSSIA, AND I
TAUGHT NATO A LESSON OR TWO.
AND THE WAR ENDS WITH THE ETHNIC
IF MAJORITY RUSSIAN POPULATION
AS SEEN HERE IN RUSSIA.
THIS IS WHAT CALMS THE GUY DOWN.
THE WILDCARD HERE IS XI BECAUSE
IF YOU DON’T KNOW, I THINK WE’VE
TALKED ABOUT IT ON YOUR SHOW,
KENNEDY ON FOX BUSINESS.
THE CHINESE OWN ABOUT 15% OF THE
ARABLE LAND IN UKRAINE.
THERE’S NO WAY PUTIN IS NUKING
NEXT YEAR’S, YOU KNOW, WONTONS.
NO.
IT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
BUT HE -- XI KNOWS THAT YOU’VE
GOT TO RATTLE A SABER -- CAN.
KENNEDY: YEAH.
BUT XI, ULTIMATELY, HE WANTS TO
MAKE MONEY.
HE’S LIKE MY DAD.
MY DAD CAN DIDN’T CARE WHO WAS
PRESIDENT JUST AS LONG AS HE WAS
MAKING MONEY.
AND HE KNOWS THAT PUTIN, EVERY
TIME HE TALKS ABOUT NUKES AND
GETS EVERYONE’S HAIRS UP, HE’S
JUST FLUSHING XI’S MONEY DOWN
THE TOILET.
BUT I THINK YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY
RIGHT.
AND THAT’S GOING TO BE, YOU
KNOW, EVEN THOUGH HE’S WINNIE
THE POOH AND A BIG SHIRT TALKER,
HE IS STILL THE GUY THAT’S GOING
TO GIVE THE ULTIMATE OFFRAMP.
I THINK YOU’RE RIGHT ABOUT THAT.
>> AND THAT’S PART OF THE REASON
WHY WE MALWARED NORD STREAM I
AND II BECAUSE NOW HIS ONLY
OUTLET TO MAKE MONEY IS CHINA
AND INDIA, AND THEY’RE ALREADY
LOWBALLING HIM --
KENNEDY: YEAH.
HE’S BUYING POTATO GUNS AND
SLINGSHOTS FROM NORTH KOREA.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
AND THEY’RE DAMNED EFFECTIVE, I
CAN TELL YOU.
[LAUGHTER]
KENNEDY: OH, SUITS, WE HAVE TO
GO BECAUSE EVERYONE’S MAD AT ME.
I HOPE YOU COME TO NEW YORK SOME
DAY.
I HOPE WE GET TO HOLD HANDS AND
SKIP AROUND TIMES SQUARE JUST
LIKE THE OLD DAYS.
>> NOTHING LIKE OLD DAYS IN L.A.
AND THE POOP AND THE NEEDLES.
