but, of course, if you recall, back when trump had a sort of frosty relationship with angela merkel,er the very issue of germany not paying enough into european defense. which they have sense come up to now that there is a war raging in europe. they also sparred over germany buying russian energy. nord stream 2. that sort of thing. so conversations from the past look a little bit different now. now that russia has decided to open up a war in europe. we also know this morning that north korea is sending troops to ukraine to fight on russia's behalf. those images coming out of satellite. this is something zelenskyy alluded to yesterday, guys. >> brian: going to talk to general keane about that. amazing that north koreans are fighting against the ukrainians while giving their weapons there, some of them are defecting because their country sucks. >> ainsley: jacqui, thank you so much. >> jacqui: go ahead, guys. >> steve: no, go ahead. finish your thought. >> jacqui: i was just saying that it's something that zelenskyy has been saying is really going to make a difference. they are worried

berlin, olaf scholz and his traffic light coalition managed to break so many firewood that neither angela merkel, nor gerhard schroeder, nor even helmut kohl could dream of, the once seemingly unbreakable alliance of high-tech german industry and russian energy resources has gone down the drain, and now germany is looking with fear at the growing power of china and waiting for... the us to elect its president and tell them what to do next, while ordinary germans suffer from high prices, still pay the solidarity tax that was introduced after unification to finance the eastern states, and on october 3 they take to the streets, not to celebrate german unity day, but to protest against the war. sergey kholoshevsky, maxim zaichenko and boris filchikov, european bureau, ntv. russian authorities have proposed that state corporations pay half of the value of nationalized assets to the treasury, business news is on the air next, denis talolaev is with us , they explain this by the interests of the russian treasury. the government wants state corporations to pay the state for the assets that they receive

they said to angela merkel at the time, how many chevrolets do we have in berlin?n't believe you have any. and i said, you are right about that. we are going to change it. but they don't take our product. we have a deficit of over $300 billion. think of that. people think of them is friendly but they are very tough and very fair. look, they are united in order to take advantage of the united states. that's why they are united. that's why they formed their coalition. that was sent to take advantage of the united states. we have to take advantage of them. we are going to take it back. we are going to take it all back. [applause] many of those companies will be coming back. they will be coming back because when they are told they will have to pay a 25% tariff or 50% or 100%, we saved our steel industry when i am posed large tariffs on china steel coming in. they were dumping steel by millions and millions and millions of yards of steel, like nobody has ever seen. our steel businesses were going out of business. we can't lose our steel industry. if knowable reason our

so when he was president, trump had a meeting with angela merkel and he claimed that angela merkel, theitician in history who gets crowds like this. he related this story, i don't believe angela merkel said that, but what trump was implying was the only other guy who got crowds like this was hitler. i get hitler's crowds. look at me. so i believe him when he tells us who he is, as he keeps telling us who he is. and i find -- i have to say i find a sort of moral repugnance when i see people who know better, and they do know better, telling us don't believe what you hear. don't believe what you see. do not believe any of this, it's just a shtick, he's just playing things up, he's just trying to troll you. that's not true. he means this. he is who he says he is and he is consistently throughout his life deeply en immediate strong men. that's trump's consistency. >> 100%. >> jonathan lemire, so many people who said they are going to vote for donald trump tell you he never said these things. you show them the clip, you show them the quote, you -- you show them his plans and they say, oh, he
