Segment Topic:
Putin’s Puppet: Part 2
President Trump: Truth Social Post
“The Fake News has been saying for 3 days that I suffered a “major defeat” by allowing President Vladimir Putin of Russia to have a major Summit in the United States. Actually, he would have loved doing the meeting anywhere else but the U.S., and the Fake News knows this. It was a major point of contention! If we had the Summit elsewhere, the Democrat run and controlled media would have said what a terrible thing THAT was. These people are sick! They even want CRIME IN D.C., and other BLUE Cities throughout our Country, but don’t worry, I won’t let that happen. Just like our now secure Southern Border (ZERO illegals in last 3 months!), our cities will be Secure and Safe, and D.C. will lead the way!”
Eric Daugherty: Facebook Post:
BREAKING: Fox News host just FACT CHECKED their own reporter after she claimed President Trump totally FAILED in his peace talks with Putin. Turns out, Trump said afterward it went WELL, and she was wrong.
Fox had to fact-check their own reporter (Jacqui Heinrich) to avoid another lawsuit!
Marco Rubio went on the Sunday Marxist State Media circuit and the Putin’s puppet narrative is alive and well.

Segment Topic:
- A peace agreement or bust!
- Zelensky returns to the Oval Office with EU and NATO grifters in-tow.
- The optics of a Stealth fighter, flying in formation over Putin’s head to welcome the Russian President.
- If the media wanted Trump to fail, why didn’t they ask Biden why he was not trying to end the war?
- Who invited the EU and NATO grifters?
- If the EU wants to hinder a peace agreement, will Trump end his participation, dump this on the EU and pull American forces out of Western Europe?
- Rubio says Trump did, the maggots in Marxist State Media claim that they are there to prevent Zelensky form being bullied by Trump?
- Will Zelensky negotiate any return of territory from Putin?
- Will Russia accept any NATO peacekeepers in Ukraine? We believed from the start this was a non-starter?
- Will Putin receive Donbas Region as part of a peace agreement?
- Some of the confusion around Witkoff’s Kremlin meeting was whether Putin had stepped back from his maximalist war goals, and had conceded a potential ceasefire purely in exchange for Donetsk. Putin has always wanted way more, and indeed Russia’s constitution has perpetuated the false narrative that Ukraine is historically Russia, by adding all four partially occupied regions of Ukraine to its territory. (CNN)
- Zelensky has also warned that territory conceded to Russia would simply be used as a springboard for further invasions, as happened with Crimea, illegally annexed by Moscow in 2014, and used as a launchpad for the full-scale war in 2022. (CNN)
