You won't find that video anywhere else. We're going to post that later. That was the private meeting we had with President Trump before he went out onto the main stage at C.C.

Well, he saw me in the audience because I'm a little bit tall in the average.

So, Tony said, hello Sebastian, so tall and handsome. Thank you. So we appreciate the recognition from the podium. This is America first. Dear friends, if you haven't done so already join me at tall and handsome man for us stand with Israel tour this November December 10 days in the Holy Land with my Salem colleague, Dinesh D'Souza and his lovely wife Debbie.

You don't want to miss this even if you've been to Israel before you haven't been with me and in that we're going to all the key sites in Jerusalem in the countryside, the Sea of Galilee, you name it. We are going to be there. Reserve your seats today.

855-565-5519 and I met some of you actually at C.Pacu wanted to go couldn't because of the COVID cancellation. We're back, we're up, we're running. You don't want to miss it.

855-565-5519, stand with Israel tour.com, stand with Israel tour.com. The core board is full. God bless every single one of you. We will get to your cause eventually. Please have patience. Don Maria, Matthew, Ken, Judy, but first we have to talk to our first guest today. Couldn't pick a bet.

He is so newly minted. He is extra shiny. He is the senior national security analyst. Brand new for Newsmax, former member of the Trump administration in the cabinet for Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie. Now with the Heritage Foundation. Welcome back to America first.

Thank you. Thank you for having me. It's great to have you especially in your new facility. How many interviews did Newsmax did you do today?

Just one today with five yesterday. Five yesterday. That's how much he is in demand. A man who has served this nation in uniform in more than one service by the way. And also in the Pentagon as a civilian and then as a member of the cabinet.

Let me ask you if we can go anywhere with this discussion. First things first. It looks as if Vladimir Putin may have bitten off more than he can chew your analysis.

Absolutely. He put he put together a very complicated operational plan for axes of attack. Without the proper logistical train to support the Eisenhower's great line was amateur study tactics professional study logistic.

No, Putin didn't take that lesson, but let's talk about a deeper problem within the Russian state. The tradition of Russia and you know this better than anyone being an Eastern European was to ignite the Russian steam roller that was supposed to overwhelm all foes simply by sheer mass.

It didn't work in World War one. Almost didn't work in World War two. But since Putin has come and didn't work in Afghanistan. But since Putin has come to power, we've seen them get bloody noses in Chechnya in Georgia in Aleppo and Syria.

Syria writ large. And now in Ukraine. So why is that?

The Russian conscript is a Russian conscript. He has poorly led. He has poorly fed. He has poorly motivated. He doesn't want to be there. The traditional conditions for the Russian soldier, the Soviet soldier, have been brutal.

Which means what? It means Putin has to rely on his instruments of terror to subdue a population and that is rockets, towed artillery, assassination teams. But he's forgotten the lesson of Stalin grad. I talked about this with one of your friends today, General Boykin.

So Hitler takes his largest army, the sixth army, and instead of going around Stalin grad and cutting it off and then moving to take Russian oil in the Caucasus, he goes straight.

The famous story, the grain elevator in Stalin grad, weeks two German divisions attack this massive grain elevator that's been reduced to rubble. When they finally break the resistance after weeks and weeks, they find 40 Soviet soldiers in there. That's it.

Putin is now on the verge of turning every block into the Ukraine capital and in Carc into a pillbox, people who hate Russians.

And he really, he's going to be reeling and this here's the graphic part we've seen and I've seen some of the pictures. They have masked their crematorium trucks. These are the trucks that incinerate a body in a split second.

So you don't see the pictures that we have of some place like Dover. Yeah, this is what they did in Afghanistan. So the grandmas wouldn't see the bodies of the 19 year olds coming back.

And you know, he's been holed up, Dr. Gorka with his cronies is kleptocrite cronies in his bunker.
