| 0:00.0 | Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again. |
| 0:05.0 | And welcome to the roads with Bell. |
| 0:08.0 | Today is December 4th, 2025, and we're going down the roads to fact-checking Trump and why it's important to. |
| 0:17.0 | On the main channel, I've repeatedly said that the media should stop treating Trump like a |
| 0:23.9 | source of accurate information. And recently, I pointed out that we didn't cover his announcement |
| 0:30.2 | of a peace deal for Ukraine, because, I mean, I didn't believe him. Well, it turns out one of the questions we got asking why we |

| 1:36.3 | is wrong to say, but factually wrong. Before we go on, I want to clear up some things in this. Ukraine didn't back out of any deal. |
| 1:47.0 | The Trump administration said there was a deal, not Ukraine. |
| 1:53.0 | Let me just tell you now, if there's actually a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia, they'll issue a statement. It won't come from the Trump |
| 2:02.7 | administration. As an aside, Russia didn't agree either. That was also not true. Five hours of talks |
