Speaker 1 Sunday morning with us is Ka Ky McFarland, and she was a deputy National Security advisor to Michael Flynt under Trump administration and kten there’s so many things going on. Can you give us an update to the American people on the Sunday morning. Let’s start with the Ukraine and Russia and Trump. I mean, it seems like things are

a mixed.

Speaker 2 Yeah, she’s the thing. The Biden administration and the European Allies and Selenski of Ukraine. None of them wanted to negotiate with Putin. Their argument was, well, we can’t trust him. He’ll never he’ll never buide by the terms of an agreement, so therefore let’s not even talk to him. And that was really pretty stupid. So for three years we didn’t

even talk to him about any issue. I mean, we had no American and Russian communication on you know, even the most rudimentary things like passports. So fast forward, President Trump says we’re going to sit down and talk, and she’s made some signals. Pot they called Putin on the phone.

He said, his Secretary of State Marco Rubio to talk to Putin’s second foreign minister, and we’ve got kicked the ball rolling. Now Meanwhile, the Europeans have gone nuts, saying, well, wait a minute, you’re giving everything away before you’ve even started, which is crazy. I mean, what President Trump has done is say to the Europeans, you know you’re not contributing.

You’re yelling at us about Ukraine, but you guys aren’t contributing to Ukraine. We’re the biggest contributors. And number two, we don’t know where half the money went. Even the Ukrainian president Selinski says he has no idea what happened to seventy five billion dollars of our donations. And President Trump has said, well, let’s get something for the American people.

So he wants to develop the rare earth minerals that are in eastern Ukraine and have American manufacturing development. They’re really essential to modern communications devices, and so he’s now negotiating with the Ukrainian president over the price of that.

But at the end of the day, Ukraine should welcome a peace agreement that stops the fighting, because then Ukraine can get on with his life. And that amazing amount, probably a trillion dollars will fly into Ukraine to redevelop it, including American energy and rarer mineral mining.

Speaker 1 Oh wow, that’s a trillion dollars. Makes a difference. I guess whatever money we gave the Ukraine is not a trillion dollars.

Speaker 2 But no, it’s about three hundred billion, all.

Speaker 1 Right, give or take. But Leni is missing. Jelenski says he’s missing one hundred billions, So we’ll find out. Yeah, uh, Israel, these Raelies are very very upset that they switched bodies on them, they killed children. I mean, it’s so very sad and so very gruesomely, there’s no word to describe it.

Speaker 2 No, And I was I was just a seapack over the last several days, and there were some of the Israeli hostages who have been released. They came and to look into their eyes down and these people all are haunted what they’ve been through. And that was before we even heard the news of the two little babies that

were butchered. Look, at the end of the day, Hamas has just wipe them off the face of the earth. Finish the job, don’t let any of them survive. Kill all the Hamas terrorists, get the Palestinians out of that region, out of Gaza, rebuild Gasa, and then maybe some of the good Palestinians, if there are any, can come back,

but you can’t rebuild on what there is now. It’s all rubble. And any society which encourages the butchering of babies for religious purposes is just one that should not even breathe air.

Speaker 1 One of our friends said to both of us, is they none of the other countries want to take in the Palestinians or the Hamases? I mean, I don’t I never talked like this, but is it one of the bad tribes?

Speaker 2 Yes, exactly, whatever. Look elected the god, they elected Amas and with the with the Egyptians don’t want to take Palastinians, and Jordan doesn’t want Salvis don’t want them. But guess what we give Egypt billions of dollars, We give Jordans billions of dollars of aid and a close economic and military relationship. We should get something for that. And one

of the things we could get is, Okay, you countries, take some Palestinians, take them, you know, make yours sure they’re secure, put them in a place where they can’t sort of spread the contation of Islamic radicalism. But everybody’s got a step up. This should not just be America’s problem.

Speaker 1 I agree one hundred percent. Anything else can of Senday morning, you want to tell them.

Speaker 2 Rtional people, you know, the great thing is what President Trump has been able to do. It’s just it’s hard agree. It’s just a month’s time. I mean, he’s getting people to the negotiating table to end the Ukraine War. He’s told the Europeans, You’ve got to pay your fair share for our common defense. Or why should we bother to

defend you if you don’t want to defend yourselves. He’s vice president is said to the Europeans, you’re committing cultural suicide. You’re giving up the values of free speech and religious toleration were the bedrock of your societies, but you’re giving away to the man. I think he sent some good warnings to the Chinese that look, you guys need to

trade with us and sell stuff to us a lot more than we need to buy stuff from you. So let’s find a way of not going to war but having peace and prosperity for everyone.

Speaker 1 Of Wing one hundred said, well, thank you, take tea mcfalland and we’ll catch up again real soon. And let’s pray for peace in the world. Let’s pay play. You pray at least all countries are being invaded anymore, and God bless you, God Bless America.

Speaker 2 Couldn’t agree more. God Bless America. John
