And now for a moment of clarity.

I'm glad the courts have stepped in where the president likely would have chickened out himself and has no past.

Well, speaking of chickening out, as the president has done very well, it's all those bone spurs that make it very hard to cluck your way to the right spot on the field.

But the reality for this president is he's got an individual in Vladimir Putin that he is

apparently presumed too much. And so now he's disappointed. Let's listen to the president

in his disappointment about Putin.

I'm very disappointed at what happened a couple of nights now where people were killed in the

middle of what you would call a negotiation. I'm very disappointed by that. Very, very disappointing.

What's stop to you from opposing news stations on Russia? Only the fact that if I think I'm close to getting a deal, I don't want to screw it up

by doing that.

This isn't my war.

This is Biden's war, Zelenskyy's war, and Putin's war.

This isn't Trump's war.

I'm only here for one thing to see if I can end it.

So, you know, I, what do you take? What do you make of that? I, you know, I just, I'm so sick of the

oh, it's Biden stuff. Man, take responsibility for something for once in your life.

You're the president of the United States. This is happening. You have a change.

If you want to end the war, you can end the war. But all of this, oh, I was, you know, disappointed when people were killed in the middle of what you would call a negotiation.

What about what were being killed before the negotiation?

Where was your outrage?

Where was your disappointment with Putin then?
