The point is that Zelensky brings up military assistance and Trump immediately answers with his own need for “a favor though.” The remainder of the discussion outlines that favor—both the nonsense server request and investigating the Bidens—which is all to be run through AG Barr.
What may be tripping pro-trump tweeters up, aside from deliberate obtuseness, is that Trump and Zelensky are working out the nature of the favors Ukraine is being pushed to do for Trump personally in conversation, rather than all at once. whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl…
So: Trump cuts off discussion of the Javelins and says he needs a favor. He brings up the server conspiracy nonsense. Zelensky is agreeable but noncommittal or perhaps doesn’t understand. He offers that he’s already doing Trump a big favor by having his aides indulge Giuliani. .. 
... Trump pockets that and angles for a higher level call, w Barr and Giuliani calling up chief of state Zelensky, expressly about the Bidens. They also talk about shifting ambassadors. It’s all about how they’re scratching each other’s backs and Bidens are part of it.
