| 0:00.0 | All right, Alexander, let's talk about the Trump-Puton phone call and what the Washington Post claims Putin offered to Trump or demanded of Trump. |
| 0:12.3 | And then let's also talk about the Financial Times article, which details the meeting, the closed door, |
| 0:23.3 | closed door meeting at the White House between Trump and Zelensky, |
| 0:27.4 | which according to the Financial Times and their European sources, |
| 0:33.1 | they claim that the meeting did not go well between Trump and Zelensky, and that Trump was very |
| 0:39.1 | angry with Zelensky and throwing papers and maps around and stuff like that and making |
| 0:45.3 | demands of Zelensky. |
| 0:47.6 | But the interesting part to, or the interesting narrative to both the Washington Post article |
| 0:53.8 | and the Financial Times article, in my opinion, is that the Washington Post relied on two sources. |
| 1:01.4 | One of them was a European diplomat. |

I mean, the Washington Post has been enormously hostile to Trump throughout the time that he has been, Trump has been in politics. It was a huge supporter of all the allegations that were made against Trump back in his first term. And it clearly has a |
| 2:03.4 | very strong connection with people in, you know, the American deep state, the permanent government, |
| 2:09.2 | trans-abonance people of that kind. And it has a very, very pro-Zolensky, pro-Ukraine bias, and undoubtedly that is playing a significant |
| 2:22.5 | role in its reporting. In the case of the Financial Times, I think you can go a step further. |
