The Buxton and Travis shows are on Apple podcasts.
Here are some other things Trump said on the podcast you misrepresented:
RE NATO: "here were eight countries out of 28 that were paid up, including us. We were paid up. We were more than paid up. We were making up the difference. But we have 28 countries, and eight were paid up, and you had 20 countries that were not. And I was asked a question by one of the presidents of one of the countries in a closed meeting, “Does that mean…?” “Do you mean to say that you wouldn’t protect us?” And I said, “You mean you’re not paid up and you want us to protect you?” I said, “That’s right. We will not protect you if you’re not paid up.” You know what happened? The next day, billions of dollars flowed in."
RE PUTIN AND THE INVASION: "This would never have happened if we [Trump administration] were there. But . . . Chuck Todd asked that question. How come there was none of this happening during the Trump administration? . . I think he [Putin] sees this opportunity. I knew that he always wanted Ukraine. I used to talk to him about it. I said, “You can’t do it. You’re not gonna do it.”
