This is the best night of my life.
>> Jesse: FOR FOUR YEARS THE
ONLY WORDS THE MEDIA KNEW WERE
TRUMP AND RUSSIA.
>> THE PRESIDENT IS A RUSSIAN
OPERATIVE.
>> THIS INCLUDE RUSSIA
CO-COLLUSION WILL HANG OVER
TIME.
>> WILL AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE.
>> WE’RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT IF
THE NEW PRESIDENT OF OUR COUNTRY
IS GOING TO DO WHAT RUSSIA
WANTS.
>> THE PRESIDENCY IS EFFECTIVELY
A RUSSIAN OP.
>> Jesse: OF COURSE THAT WAS ALL
BULL.
AND IF YOU NEEDED ANY MORE
PROOF, JUST LOOK AT WHAT RUSSIA
DID BEFORE AND AFTER TRUMP TOOK
OFFICE.
THEY TOOK CRIMEA UNDER OBAMA AND
THEY ARE INVADING AGAIN NOW THAT
BIDEN IS IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
BUT I’M CONFUSED.
WASN’T JOE BIDEN SUPPOSED TO BE
THE ADULT IN THE ROOM?
THE STRONG LEADER WITH DECADES
OF FOREIGN POLICY EXPERIENCE?
WASN’T HE THE GUY THAT WOULD
CLEAN PUTIN’S CLOCK AND HOLD HIM
IN CHECK?
BIDEN SPENT A MONTH DOING
EVERYTHING HE COULD TO STOP
PUTIN FROM INVADING AND PUTIN
INVADES ANYWAY.
BUT THE MEDIA HAS FOUND THE TRUE
BAD GUY IN ALL OF THIS.
AND I THINK YOU KNOW WHO IT IS.
>> WHY DIDN’T PUTIN DO THIS
DURING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
BECAUSE HE THOUGHT TRUMP WAS
WEAKENING UKRAINE ESPECIALLY ON
THESE GROUNDS.
THE PROBLEM OF UKRAINE BEING
UNFORTIFIED DOSE BACK SEVERAL
YEARS AND MUCH OF THE FAULT LIES
IN THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
>> GO BACK TO THE TRUMP YEARS
BECAUSE THAT’S WHEN UKRAINE
BECAME SO POLITICIZED.
THERE WAS ONE CALL IN PARTICULAR
THAT SO-CALLED PERFECT CALL THAT
TRUMP HAD, YOU KNOW WITH
ZELENSKYY WHICH, YOU KNOW,
CERTAINLY TELL GRAPHED TO THE
KREMLIN THEY COULD DO WITH
WANTED WITH UKRAINE THAT AMERICA
WOULD NOT STAND UP.
>> SO WHY ARE WE LISTENING TO
THESE PEOPLE?
JOINING ME NOW CO-HOST OF "FOX &
FRIENDS WEEKEND" PETE HEGSETH.
ALL RIGHT.
PETE.
IT’S CLEAR THE RUSSIA HOAX IS
OFFICIALLY DEAD.
THAT DOESN’T FLY HERE NOW.
BUT THEY ARE CONFUSED BECAUSE
THE MEDIA WANTS MORE.
WANTS WAR.
THEY LIKE WAR. THEY THINK THEY CAN BE TOUGH.
THEY THINK THEY CAN BE TOUGH.
FANTASIZING AND FETISHI ZEMPLET.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE MEDIA SO
CONFUSED ON WHAT TO SAY, YOU?
>> Pete: NO, I HAVEN’T.
THEY WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE WAR,
YOU ARE RIGHT.
THEY DO FETISHIZE IT DON’T HAVE
TO COVER THE DOMESTIC SIDE OF
JOE BIDEN’S PRESIDENCY NOT TO
MENTION AFGHANISTAN.
AND WHEN YOU LOOK ULTIMATELY --
I’M A SIMPLE GUY ON STUFF LIKE
THIS.
YOU LAID IT OUT IN 2014 THAT WAS
OBAMA, THAT WAS CRIMEA.
NOW IT’S 2022 AND NOW IT’S
EASTERN UKRAINE AND THAT IS
BIDEN.
IT WAS 2018 AND 2017 WHEN DONALD
TRUMP SAID YOU SHOULDN’T DO THIS
WHOLE NORD STREAM 2 THING.
NOT A GOOD IDEA THAT YOU WOULD
BE DEPENDENT ON RUSSIAN OIL
VLADIMIR PUTIN IS GOING TO USE
THAT AS LEVERAGE AND THEY GO
AHEAD AND KILL THE KEYSTONE XL
PIPELINE AND APPROVED THE VERY
PIPELINE THAT MAKES EUROPE MORE
VULNERABLE.
HERE IS THE REALITY.
THE VLADIMIR PUTIN LIVES
RENT-FREE IN THE MINDS OF OUR
MEDIA OF THE AMERICAN MEDIA.
NO ORGANISM.
NO ENTITY HAS DONE MORE TO
SPREAD RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA AND TO
PROP UP THE STRAWMAN THAT IS
VLADIMIR PUTIN THAN OUR VERY OWN
MEDIA.
AND DONALD TRUMP WAS HAPPY TO
TROLL THEM ON IT AS HE CONTINUES
TO DO TO THIS MOMENT BECAUSE
THEY CAN’T RESIST IT AND THEY
WILL OBSESS OVER IT THEY KNOW AT
THE END OF THE DAY WHEN YOU LOOK
AT THE FACTS, YOU KNOW, REMEMBER
CNN LIKES TO TALK ABOUT AN APPLE
IS AN APPLE.
YOU LOOK AT THE FACTS.
THE REALITY IS UNDER THE
WEAKNESS OF OBAMA AND BIDEN,
VLADIMIR PUTIN TOOK ADVANTAGE.
AND HE SAW A PEER IN DONALD
TRUMP WHO IS UNPREDICTABLE AND
WILLING TO DEFEND AMERICAN
INTEREST AND HE BACKED AWAY FROM
THAT.
>> Jesse: WE ARE NOT BLAMING THE
AMERICAN PRESIDENTS FOR PUTIN
DOING WHAT HE DOES.
PUTIN DOES WHAT HE DOES BUT,
IT’S STUPID TO BLAME DONALD
TRUMP WHEN HE IS THE ONLY
PRESIDENT TO NOT OVERSEE A
RUSSIAN INVASION OF ANOTHER
