0:00.0 | Youcranian President Vladimir Zelensky made a sort of last minute, at least as far as it |
0:22.2 | was announced, visit to Washington, D.C. yesterday, which included an address to Congress, an opportunity |
0:29.5 | that not many foreign leaders get. And we will talk about that in a little bit. The speech that |
0:34.7 | Zelensky delivered to Congress about the help that the U.S. has been providing to Ukraine in its |
0:41.4 | defensive war due to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and Vladimir Putin was a good speech. It was a |
0:49.4 | powerful speech and also the entire event had a pretty weird feeling to it. And I think I know |
0:57.4 | what the weirdness was. And I'm going to talk about that in a moment, much fanfare, and we're going |
1:04.4 | to get to all aspects of this, but a big standing ovation to kick it all off. |
1:20.4 | And what we're watching here, if you're watching today, rather than listening, is Zelensky |
1:26.2 | entering too much applause and a standing ovation and the greetings of so many different people. There's |
1:32.5 | a Senator Patrick Leahy, and you see Charles Schumer, the Senator, and all sorts of different people. |
1:40.0 | Zelensky wearing his typical green. I don't know that I want to editorialize the shade of green, |
1:47.2 | but it is not the best shade. Not that we really care about that. It's just a weird color. |
1:50.9 | And here he greets Vice President Kamala Harris, and then the Speaker of the House, |
1:56.6 | outgoing Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, and he delivers a speech and many applause lines in |
2:03.2 | the speech, including reminding the world and the United States that Ukraine is not out of this thing. |
2:09.4 | Against all odds and doom and gloom, scenarios Ukraine didn't fall. Ukraine is alive and kicking. |
2:28.5 | And another standing ovation there, and of course, it is great that Ukraine has been able to |
2:35.4 | resist what some characterized and handicapped as an easy win for Russia when this started months |
2:42.6 | and months and closing in on a year ago. That is an absolutely great thing. We now get into the part |
2:50.2 | that I believe was the element of weirdness, which is that there was a feeling of this, that it was |
2:57.6 | sort of, okay, we're going to give you the money, new aid package around two billion, including |
