I don't want to meet, but if I did meet, I'd be honored to meet him. I'd like to see him we'd make a deal. So again, the president maintaining that the U.S. will win either militarily or on paper, even as peace talks stall. With no timeline as to when the conflict in the Middle East will end, though, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, is taking steps to end the war in his country. He's proposing direct engagement with Russian president Vladimir Putin, saying it would be wrong to wait until Europe returns to the center of attention. Volodymyr Zelensky says in a letter to Vladimir Putin, I am proposing a meeting. We also believe that the United States must be part of the process. This is what could help shape a new security architecture for our part of the world. This is New Hampshire today. That declaration comes, even as more explosive allegations have come to light with former girlfriends telling the New York Times of heavy drinking and womanizing, with one claiming violent episodes and even rape fantasies. Quoting the Times now, Mr. Graham Platner could be charming and charismatic. They recalled in interviews, but also demeaning to women. And in at least one case, even physically threatening, he drank heavily and was regularly unfaithful. Graham Platner acknowledged what he called a dark period in his life, and he admits he's been far from the perfect boyfriend in his past. But he says the claims are politically motivated. Where the Granite State turns to get all the latest news and information. The Associated Press says it's on internal memo from the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Center's Office of General Counsel telling staffers all official documents must revert to the John F. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Center for the Performing Arts or simply the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Center. Management has set a deadline of June 12th to make the changes. Last month, a U.S. district judge ordered the name change and blocked the administration from closing the venue for two years for renovation. President Trump was outraged by the decision and posted on Truth Social. We are going to be working with Congress to transfer this failing institution back to them. Now, New Hampshire today.

Good morning. This is New Hampshire today. I am Chris Ryan. I appreciate joining us for the show this morning. As a lot to talk about today, we're going to start here this hour, though, with Graham Platner up in Maine and New York Times articles we heard in the open there. Outlined some of Graham Platner's difficulties with past girlfriends. And one thing really drew my attention, and that is, you know, a girlfriend discussing Graham Platner talking about his Nazi tattoo and also the timing of all this. We'll get to that in a moment, but first an upshot from Fox's Mark Meredith. Several women told the New York Times Graham Platner was a toxic boyfriend who struggled often with alcohol. The Times says it spoke with multiple women who said that Plattenor could be charismatic and charming. They also recalled in interviews, but demeaning to women. And in at least one case, even physically threatening. He drank heavily and regularly was unfaithful. Graham Platner has certainly faced multiple scandals. In photos, Graham Platner could be seen spotting a tattoo widely recognized as a Nazi symbol. It was later covered up. Graham Platner has also made multiple controversial posts on Reddit, including about race and rape. The Times report, one woman said that his offensive online posts reminded me of just how much he hated women. He has since apologized for those posts. Graham Platner appeared last night on MS now with Chris Hayes. Is, again, totally false. I do want to follow one place on this, and I don't want to get too forensic, but the Times basically reported that they saw texts of hers, including a text in August, I believe August 3rd of last year. This would be before October of last year, in which she basically said that you had a, quote, Nazi tattoo, and she joked about how she's going to go volunteer for Susan Collins. Now, again, this is a text that got sent so, like, we can place the time, right? This is in August. How does she know it's a Nazi tattoo in August of last year, and you don't know it's a Nazi tattoo in August of last year? Well, she certainly didn't send that text to me. So whoever she sent it to and was talking to, that's, I can't say why, but I will say that I certainly didn't know. And the text messages she's sending to friends who may have recognized that they didn't tell me that. So a couple things off of that. First off, who can recognize a Nazi tattoo? I'd have difficulty doing it, right? If you see a tattoo and you're like, oh, that's a Nazi tattoo. Other than swastika, most people would have no ability to recognize a Nazi tattoo. So that doesn't make any sense. It also doesn't make any sense, in my view, that he didn't know that this was a Nazi tattoo. And, you know, you continue to go down the rabbit hole, the more you... you know, potentially lie about this, right? What if there's more statements? What if there's Reddit statements, you know, that he made about, that shows some support of some sort for, for Nazis or for, you know, Nazi paraphernalia, whatever, or him talking about the Nazi tattoo to someone else or showing it off at a bar one night when he was drunk. Like, all these things just continue to, you know, to pile up.

And Democrats have decided in D.C. that this is their guy and they're sticking with him. And that, in my view, is problematic to say the least on a number of levels. You know, they've made their bed with winning. And each one of them, you know, that's asked like, oh, we're going to win Maine. They don't necessarily say they support him, but, you know, we're focused on winning Maine. Okay, but winning it at what cost? And, you know, is Graham Platner, if he is elected, going to become, you know, a toxic figure in the Senate for, for Democrats? So, you know, the Democrats have staked a position of being morally superior to Republicans in particular when it comes to Trump. And that all of Trump's baggage, the access, Hollywood tape, bragging on things, saying horrible things about people. That's, that's, they're better than that. They're above that. And they're proving with their support of Graham Platner that they're not. And that's just like it was for Republicans. They're willing to look past Graham Platner if it means winning the Senate, if it means winning on the issues or getting another Supreme Court judge. It doesn't matter how they do it. They'll take that low road too, just as President Trump and Republicans took that low road. And if Graham Platner is a guy that they still think can win, they're going to stick with them. Now, if things start to shift here, and they are, and the poll numbers move more in... Susan Collins' favor, then all of a sudden there may be some different feelings when it comes to Graham Platner and all of his issues. You know, what this is exposing is that Democrats are as craven for victory as Republicans are and that they do not have the moral superiority that they... They claim to have. And for years, you know, they talked about everything with Trump, every scandal, everything was terrible. And if it's one of their own and Graham Platner, we can look past that. That's what this is all about. You can't have it both ways. Whether it's on this topic or others, people hate hypocrisy. They hate when you're okay. We are anti-Trump because of X, Y, and Z. Okay, we got this set of candidate in Maine. He's said pretty similar things. That's pretty interesting. Oh, but we're all right with him because we think we can win there. Sn Hampshire today.
