Yeah, significant developments this morning in Ukraine's efforts to hit back against Russian
00:00:11.920
aggression. Ukraine launched a massive drone attack deep inside Russian territory. The New
00:00:19.820
York Times calls it a coordinated operation that targeted sites from eastern Siberia to Russia's
00:00:26.220
western border. A source in Ukraine's security service tells NBC News that more than 40 Russian
00:00:32.360
bomber planes were targeted in an operation nearly 3,000 miles away from Ukraine. The mission,
00:00:41.300
codenamed Spiderweb, is estimated to have cost Russia more than $2 billion worth of damage to
00:00:49.020
its plane, $2 billion. The attack was planned over the course of the past year and a half
00:00:55.080
and involved a meticulous method of first smuggling the drones deep into Russia and then disguising
00:01:03.040
them so they could be activated remotely. Sounds like a movie. NBC News cannot independently verify
00:01:10.020
the claims made by the Ukrainian source. However, Russia's defense ministry confirmed the attacks.
00:01:16.160
He's not right. He's not right. He's not right.
00:01:31.120
Everybody get back. Everybody get back. Everybody get back. He's right there. He's on the ground right there.
00:01:51.120
He's on the ground right there. Who wants the person back there? Right here.
00:01:59.080
First is that Sabri is behind bars, or Solomon, rather, is behind bars right now on $10 million.
00:02:14.520
Bailey has a court date, as you said, 1.30, the time they're in Colorado. So we'll be looking forward
00:02:20.300
to see what happens there. We know that there are multiple felony charges that he has booked on,
00:02:24.380
including murder charges, though we have not learned from officials of any of these victims dying. So
00:02:30.440
we're waiting to hear what that means for those charges. As John described, and you just heard
00:02:35.540
from witnesses there, it was certainly a chaotic scene as these, you know, this is a weekly event
00:02:40.580
that happens with this group of people. They go to support the hostages that are held in Gaza by
00:02:47.160
Hamas. And this person, Solomon, according to police, showed up with his makeshift flamethrower,
00:02:53.980
with Molotov cocktails. Witnesses describe how he was just dousing people and trying, you know,
00:03:01.240
people were running to their aid, trying to basically put out the flames with water bottles,
00:03:05.620
we're told. Four women, four men injured in this, all brought to hospitals. Two actually had to be
00:03:12.260
air flighted. As John mentioned, one of those victims, a Holocaust survivor.
00:03:16.560
We've now seen the president and this administration come out and say that they are very frustrated
00:03:21.040
that China is not really following the commitments that it agreed to after U.S. and Chinese officials
00:03:26.860
met in Geneva last month. Now, we did hear many of his different advisors talk about this as well.
00:03:33.280
What I'm hearing also behind the scenes is that they are actively trying to set up a direct call
00:03:38.800
between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. His advisors reiterated that
00:03:43.720
this weekend. Take a listen. Well, we will see what the consequences are. I'm confident that when
00:03:52.260
President Trump and Party Chairman Xi have a call, that this will be ironed out. Donald Trump and
00:03:59.000
President Xi, you know, our president understands what to do. He's going to go work it out. President
00:04:04.140
Trump, we expect, is going to have a wonderful conversation about the trade negotiations this
00:04:09.240
week with President Xi. But the bottom line is that we've got to be ready in case things don't
00:04:13.600
happen the way we want. Because if we have cannons, but not cannonballs, then we can't fight a war.
00:04:21.820
So a few things to take note of all of that, Kate. One is that the president has been saying for
00:04:27.240
months now that he believed that he could help settle this by talking to Xi Jinping. But they have
00:04:32.260
been unable to get the Chinese leader on the phone thus far. So they are moving toward actually having
00:04:38.140
this happen this week. And really, from my conversations with Trump administration officials,
00:04:42.560
they do believe a call between the top two leaders of both countries is necessary to kind of unlock
00:04:47.740
where they are right now, this, you know, status of not really sure how to move forward. And there's
00:04:53.220
other moves I am told that they can take on China if they do not respond in turn. I was also told that
00:04:59.580
they are not expecting to reimpose the 145 percent tariff figure on China, that there's other tools at
00:05:06.820
their disposal. But this is really going to be a huge week for those talks with Beijing.
00:05:11.560
President Trump said that Ukraine doesn't have good cards. Well, Russia is much bigger and has a lot
00:05:19.920
more people. I get that. But the world has a lot of cards against Russia. And one of those cards that
00:05:27.160
we have is about to be played in the United States Senate. In America, you have more than one person
00:05:34.360
at the card table. We have three branches of government and the House and the Senate are poised
00:05:42.280
to act. What would change our mind if Russia came to the table, agreed to a ceasefire?
00:06:11.140
I'm speaking to you from Warsaw, Poland, where there was, frankly, almost a redux of the election Trump, Biden or Trump, Harris,
00:06:28.140
in the sense that you had a highly international, progressive, multilingual, media-savvy candidate on one side and a candidate who represents the polls,
00:06:46.140
who feel that they've been left out of the economic miracle of modern Poland and are reacting against the Capitol.
00:06:54.100
That is the presidential election that happened in Poland yesterday with Karol Nowrowski, the conservative, winning.
00:07:01.860
In many ways, the Trump administration was directly involved in this election in the sense that they sent cabinet member Kristi Noem,
00:07:09.720
the secretary for Homeland Security, here last week to headline a CPAC conference in Warsaw to send the message that, you know,
00:07:18.160
President Trump is with Karol Nowrowski, who is the victor.
00:07:21.460
So it's a very much a political win. But the important, I think, takeaway for President-elect Nowrowski of Poland is whether he can get into the ear of the top Trump foreign policy team
00:07:36.160
in a way that his predecessors have not been able to, because the polls simply have not been at the table when it comes to negotiations between Ukraine and Russia,
00:07:47.660
despite being, holding the presidency of the European Council.
00:07:51.860
Karol Nowrowski has won. It's a political win. Also for the Trump administration,
00:07:56.440
can Nowrowski convert that into closer ties with the top Trump team? We shall see.
00:08:59.120
Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:09:03.060
I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:09:12.100
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
00:09:16.000
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:09:20.300
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:09:26.220
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:09:29.940
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:09:39.120
It's Monday to June in the year of our Lord, 2025, and the world is on the cusp.
00:09:51.180
President Trump, as we remember, talked about the three verticals.
00:09:53.500
Number one, to use all his efforts to stop the kinetic part of the Third World War, which we are in the beginning of.
00:10:05.420
Number two was to seal the border and deport at least 13 million illegal alien invaders came here on Biden's watch.
00:10:15.020
Number three was to sort of this entire mess of the commercial relationships of the United States and the world,
00:10:20.560
bring manufacturing jobs back, get tariff revenue, start to cut the budget,
00:10:26.860
figure out how to finance this entire mess, the entire economic equation.
00:10:30.160
And Jillian Tett, the other day, kind of picking up on one of the themes of the War Room,
00:10:39.280
It's a convergence of national security, geopolitics, trade and finance in a new, more sophisticated way of looking at the world.
00:10:49.140
Folks, we are not closer this weekend and this morning to achieving the first and central priority of President Trump.
00:11:01.460
I understand the sealing the border and deporting people is absolutely essential.
00:11:06.720
But if the kinetic part of the Third World War continues on, it will escalate.
00:11:13.440
And once you get escalation in a situation like this, particularly on the Eurasian landmass,
00:11:18.940
as two major conflicts in the 20th century, World War I and World War II,
00:11:34.580
And we're heading to a very dark place very quickly.
00:11:36.600
A massive come-from-behind victory in Poland for the MAGA forces.
00:11:45.400
I want to give a hat tip to Matt Schlapp, Jack Posobiec, Mo Bannon,
00:11:49.260
everybody associated with CPAC that went over there,
00:11:52.440
and I think provided the necessary energy to push that over the top,
00:11:56.800
or at least to show people that the world is watching.
00:12:03.340
because tonight we're going to have the Korean team on.
00:12:06.560
They start early voting already in Korea tomorrow.
00:12:09.300
And if Korea falls, I don't think she's going to have a lot to say.
00:12:14.160
And God bless Scott Besant and Hassett and Lutnik and all this.
00:12:18.800
I'm not so sure she's going to have a lot to say later in the week
00:12:25.860
Because he's going to say, hey, my political warfare,
00:12:27.760
I put a major asset in my pocket, and now I have a knife that's right there.
00:12:34.160
Korea's always been coming off the Eurasian landmine.
00:12:36.340
I have a knife at the heart of Japan and Taiwan.
00:12:41.640
As these rehearsals for an invasion continue on.
00:12:46.200
But most important and most disturbing is what happened in Ukraine.
00:12:50.760
Remember, we've never questioned the valor or the toughness
00:12:56.980
We have been against this war from the beginning,
00:13:04.400
In the entire history of the United States and the Soviet Union,
00:13:09.160
about strategic forces in the Cold War, the triad,
00:13:26.660
The United States never laid a glove on the Soviet Union ever
00:13:44.840
That is the moral equivalent or the military equivalent
00:13:47.880
of putting a carrier battle group at the bottom of the sea
00:13:55.920
in some sort of kinetic conflict against the Chinese Communist Party.
00:14:08.300
You see Lindsey Graham over there stirring things up,
00:14:12.000
saying the House and the Senate got a lot to say about this.
00:14:15.660
The White House saying they didn't know about it.
00:14:24.600
and this is consistent with my discussions over the weekend
00:14:31.400
It goes back to that New York Times article from 24.
00:14:33.600
It's impossible for Ukraine to have worked 18 months
00:14:51.800
We're going to get into all of it next in the War Room.
00:14:59.960
This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro.
00:15:10.460
are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar
00:15:18.280
As BRICS nations push forward with their plans,
00:15:23.780
bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings.
00:15:26.960
While this transition won't not happen overnight,
00:15:38.880
from a theoretical possibility towards an inevitable reality.

00:17:32.380
I'm going to get to the Polish situation in a second,

Never, nothing's ever been done like this before, folks.

00:18:06.920
strategic bombing forces have been eviscerated.
00:18:38.600
which the New York Times has been reporting now
