Thank you for listening and my sincere appreciation to our brothers and sisters at Hillsdale for their great sponsorship.

He's here. Now broadcasting from the underground command post deep in the

bowels of a hidden bunker somewhere under the brick and steel of a non-distrib building. We've once again made contact with our leader, Mike. Love them.

Hello America, all 14 million patriots. It's a great honor to have with us President Donald Trump. President Trump.

How are you, sir? Hello, Mark. How are you? I'm doing great President Trump. I imagine you saw most of this press conference.

Joe Biden said he's had an enormous progress during his presidency. I don't see it that way.

Well, progress in destroying our country, yes. I think that's been tremendous. I also said something that I assume was a mistake, but he said he expects Putin to go in.

He said he expects Putin to go in. I expect him to go in to go into Ukraine. I thought that was a very unusual answer. I don't know if he knew what he was saying because he said that as part of another question and he was a little confused because he tried to correct something.

But that was a strange answer. No, I've watched him. I mean, hey, I'd like him to do well. You want another truth? Forget about politics. I'd love him to do well. I'd love him to be representing our country. I think it's the lowest our country has ever been.

I believe that what happened in Afghanistan, the way we got out, I got it down to 2000 soldiers. I was the one that did that. That was the heavy lift.

But the way we were going to get out with dignity and strength and keep pogrom. And because of China, because it's one hour from the nuclear weapons plant.

But the way we got out was I think the lowest point in the history of our country. And you look with a seven with the $85 billion worth of equipment.

If I billion, nobody even knows what that means. Well, that means 700,000 machine guns guns. I mean, 70,000 trucks. 70,000. There's no company in the country that has 70,000 cars, trucks.

And these are seriously expensive things. The whole thing was just so horrible. But you look at the border with millions of people coming in. You look at inflation. You look at no more energy independence.

No, it's we have a much different country that we had a year ago.

President Trump, he said something at the beginning that caught my attention to and concerns me a lot.

A commander chief saying that he expects Russia to invade Ukraine. Now, don't you think Vladimir Putin heard that too?

Yeah, and it was like the problem is it was like nothing's going to be done. You know, in other words, I expect to now maybe it was a mistake because it was said in the middle of another sentence and another thought.

But he said use the words expects that he's going in. And I thought that was strange.

What do you don't want it to happen? You know, I just thought it was a very strange thought to be putting out there that he expects him to go in.
