Let's talk about what's going on in Russia where Vladimir Putin is just absolutely taunting Donald Trump. He's telling state-run media how gleeful he is at Donald Trump's cabinet picks the perfect picks for Russia. That's what's being said there to state-run media. Their newspaper Proveda where Vladimir Putin saying this is great. I am so happy.
This could not be a better situation for Russia. Also, you have seen your advisors to Vladimir Putin that are out there saying that they've made deals with Donald Trump's transition team, whether or not that's true or not. They certainly feel emboldened to say that sanctions are going to be lifted against Russia. Also, you have state run media just telling people, hang in there, Donald Trump's going to do whatever we want in just a few more weeks. So just hang in there, folks. Let's just take a look at what's going on.
in Russia as they are now taunting America, treating America like one of their satellite countries that they dominate years from the, this is from the New Republic. Vladimir Putin is gleeful over the Trump cabinet nominations.
and says Tulsi Gabbard's nomination in particular is making Vladimir Putin very happy. He told Prabda their paper, how gleeful he is in Prabda, a Russian newspaper where Vladimir Putin talked about this. They were fawning over what a great pick Gabbard is for Russia. They noted that the CIA and FBI in the United States are now trembling after Donald Trump picked Tulsi Gabbard.
The article also noted that Ukrainians considered Gabbard to be an agent of the Russian state. Goes on to say Trump's decision to nominate Gabbard of all people. Signals his distinct willingness to cozy up to Putin.
nominating Gabbard for the director of national intelligence is the way to Putin's heart. Our friend Ruth Ben Giet told the Times, let's take a look at this communique that Russia is putting out. How an unnamed member of Trump's transition team, this is what they allege in Russia at the highest level, reportedly told Russian state media that Trump might lift sanctions against Russia and normalize trade and economic relations.
Here is what it says. It says Trump may live sanctions against Russia upon the end of the conflict in Ukraine.
a representative of the transition team for Donald Trump told the agency under such a scenario, trade and economic relations between the countries could be normalized. And it goes on to say that Donald Trump may cancel or soften some of the US sanctions against Russia if the conflict around Ukraine is resolved. The forecast was made by a representative of the transition team.
of Donald Trump in a conversation with this Russian propaganda source right here. Also, you have Russian state TV showing on 60 minutes that this is what they're saying that Trump might even try to basically threaten Ukraine right now and forbid Ukraine to strike Russian targets with long range missiles missiles even now.
before Donald Trump's official term starts. Meanwhile in Russia, by the way, hat tip to Julia Davis, who runs Russia media monitors. She does a great job reporting on what are they talking about in Russia. So hat tip to you, Julia, great work. Meanwhile in Russia,
After hanging out at the Kremlin, Karen Shek and Nazarov reports that Putin constantly watches Vladimir Solvivov's program. He's the one who always goes on there and kind of mocks Donald Trump mocks Melania. This is like their Sean Hannity there.
They're showing the nudes of Melania there frequently. And as Julia Davis says, this reconfirms that Vladimir Putin is fully on board. As Salivov imagined, like their Hannity makes these nuclear threats, genocidal comments and makes a complete and utter mockery of Donald Trump.
Now, meanwhile, in Russia, Julia Davis also says pundits discussed the U.S. missile authorization and opine that Moscow need not even retaliate, but just wait for Trump to rescind it in two months. Piers Morgan, a big Trump supporter on his program though,
You know, seems to, you know, I'm like the key issue here. This is what he says. So Russia can illegally invade a sovereign democratic European country, murder thousands of Ukrainian civilians, then rope in North Korean soldiers to help them wage war. And the West's correct response should be check notes. Give Putin what he's stolen. Do F off.
I mean, Pierce Morgan, you were out there supporting Donald Trump, like on the key issue, which could be Vladimir Putin taking over Europe and threatening your home country as well. I mean, you support the ultimate appeasement here. Like, I don't get how you square the propaganda you spewed with Donald Trump with this statement. I mean, it's that cognitive dissonance that we talk about.
You know, it's like Donald Trump can, this is like the most important issue to Pierre's Morgan and Donald Trump basically backs Putin. Yet, yet, Pierre's Morgan backs Donald Trump. Like, make it make sense. It's like all these groups who Donald Trump like literally threatens their existence. Like, yeah, we're still going to support that guy. Why? They're price of eggs. Yeah, but.
What about the price of eggs? You're just one lying about the price and two to the extent they went up was caused by Donald Trump. He's the one who caused it by his mismanagement of COVID, a manufacturing recession before COVID, his complete mishandling of the economy, adding $8 trillion of debt, giving tax cuts to billionaires, letting billionaires and major corporations, price gouge consumers,

Senator Tammy Duckworth wrote the following, Tulsi Gabbard is a Putin apologist conspiracy theorist and friend to a Syrian dictator who gassed his own people. Not only is she unqualified to be director of national intelligence, she's likely compromised. You think this is as Vladimir Putin is gleeful. He's saying how happy he is that Trump's doing what he wants.
had me Duckworth goes on to say, that's not someone who should be protecting our nation secrets. Again, it's like, yeah, obvious. And by the way, as Julia Davis says here,
I'm not going to play the clip, but she says, here's her original translated clip from 2022, where Tulsi Gabbard was perturbed about alleged US attempts to overthrow Putin. State TV host Vladimir Solivab, who I just mentioned, described Tulsi Gabbard as their girlfriend and agreed that she is Putin's agent. That's what they're saying on Russian TV. Now, Tulsi Gabbard denies that, but that's what they're saying on Russian TV.
This is from the New York Times opinion piece. The American election results were received with enthusiasm in Moscow, writes Michael Zygar, a Russian journalist, too many in the Kremlin. A Trump presidency might bring about the collapse of the American state. So just so you know, the top people in the Kremlin are saying the Trump presidency could bring about the collapse.
of America. Like that's what they're saying right now at this very moment. You know, one of the things we see with Donald Trump nominating people like Tulsi Gabbard, this Peter Hegsith guy as secretary of defense, a Fox weekend news host to be in charge of our nuclear arsenal. Of course, Vladimir Putin is gleeful. You picked an idiot to be the secretary of defense.
And one of the things they're doing right now is there when enrollment is a struggle.
for the military. And one of the things that's critical to the military and their recruiting, whether you like it or not, is that the way they've kept their recruiting up is by recruiting for minority groups and women. So now you're going to attack that. Here's that. So woke and attack women combat veterans and attack women soldiers. Here is former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Millie.
Here's what he had to say at a Bloomberg Center convention just a minute ago.
a standards-based, merit-based military, period, full stop. It doesn't matter if you're white, if you're black, if you're a man, if you're a woman, if you're a Catholic, if you're a Protestant. None of those identification things matter what matters are standards, readiness standards. Do you meet the standard or not? If yes, Pasco collect you 100, join the infantry. And then of course, Fox kicks into overdrive trying to protect Tulsi Gabbard. Here's what they say, play this glint.
and those who get rich from the status quo in DC are always going to be threatened by anyone demanding accountability. And this explains a lot of the frenzy over Trump's recent cabinet picks. Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence, you think Trump had given it to Putin himself?
Yes, Laura, I do think that because, I mean, take a look at what Tulsi Gabbard's posting. She's spreading these lies about US funded bio labs in Ukraine and how NATO is the problem and saying that Russia is justified in invading Ukraine because of how NATO's treated them. That's not a normal response to blame NATO and blame the United States for Russia's unlawful invasion unless, of course, you're supporting Russia and you're an apologist for Putin.
You should not be the director of national intelligence in my opinion, but that's what's going on in Russia right now. Gleeful, happy Trump will destroy America. They're saying that's, that's what's going on there. So again, I just want to educate you what's happening. Do with the knowledge, what you will, but that's what they're saying in Russia right now.
