00:00:25.780 The Poso Daily Brief.

00:00:30.000 This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.

00:00:40.680 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.

00:00:47.280 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.

00:00:50.340 Christ is king.

00:00:51.440 Unleashed since President Trump announced the federal takeover of MPD and the deployment of the National Guard to the streets of Washington.

00:00:57.600 Now we're expecting the arrival of even more National Guard troops coming from West Virginia, Ohio, and South Carolina.

00:01:04.600 This is what our Attorney General Pam Bondi is saying about what's happening in D.C.

00:01:09.080 Over 300 arrests in D.C. and counted.

00:01:12.260 Just last night, our federal and D.C. law enforcement partners made 68 arrests and seized 15 illegal firearms.

00:01:20.660 Homicide suspects, drug traffickers, and more are being charged.

00:01:24.520 I'll continue to stand with you as we make D.C. safe again.

00:01:29.260 The U.S. is deploying 4,000 additional troops to waters around Latin America, according to CNN.

00:01:35.480 The report says the Marines and sailors will be used to combat drug cartels, a focal point of President Donald Trump.

00:01:42.280 The Navy officially announced the deployment, but did not give specifics on where the troops would go.

00:01:47.300 The CNN report says along with the troops, a nuclear port attack submarine, several destroyers, and more are also being deployed.

00:01:54.580 Well, just hours from now, the president of Ukraine has a pivotal meeting with President Trump in Washington.

00:02:00.200 And just a few hours ago, we got a look at what exactly President Donald Trump may be proposing to end this conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

00:02:08.340 So the president posting on Truth Social early this morning that Ukraine should give up Crimea and agree to never join NATO to end the war.

00:02:17.460 This comes after Friday's high-stakes summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska.

00:02:22.680 Sources tell ABC News that Putin is demanding Ukraine give up more land in exchange for stopping further attacks.

00:02:31.480 But Zelensky, who was not included in Friday's summit, says Ukraine will not agree to give up any more territory.

00:02:38.740 The British prime minister, French president, and German chancellor are all among the European and NATO leaders joining Ukraine's president as he meets with President Trump.

00:02:48.540 Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily.

00:02:53.560 We are here live at the White House today for a historic meeting, Chapter 2 of the Anchorage Accords.

00:03:04.220 Now, Friday, as everyone knows, I was here on the ground as well, starting out at the White House, traveling with President Trump alongside his delegation and the American delegation to meet the Russians up in Anchorage.

00:03:18.820 We arrived here at the White House about 4.45 in the morning, 0.30, then traveled to the White House, excuse me, traveled to Joint Base Andrews over in a motorcade with President Trump.

00:03:31.980 No Marine One that morning.

00:03:33.720 Flew Air Force One to Anchorage, met with the Russians, flew back, returned about 0.300 hours, posted one video on the way out of that.

00:03:43.560 And so, folks, an incredible day in Anchorage.

00:03:46.480 A special thank you, by the way, to the White House team for including Human Events Daily in that coverage.

00:03:51.040 And, of course, as well as having us here today on Monday for this truly historic series of accords.

00:03:57.120 Now, for the Anchorage Accords to be successful, it's going to require a number of compromises, as all negotiations do.

00:04:04.680 President Trump said this a few times over the weekend.

00:04:07.580 There is no side in any negotiation that is ever going to get 100% of their requirements.

00:04:15.640 And what does this mean?

00:04:16.240 We're talking security guarantees, things that the Russians have been asking for in terms of their wariness and skepticism towards NATO,

00:04:25.100 as well as Ukraine, then asking, will we have security degrees?

00:04:30.540 Because, of course, it was Russia that invaded Ukraine in the first place. 0.74

00:04:35.420 A lot of the escalation being pointed at from President Trump and President Putin on Joe Biden.

00:04:42.320 Really, the breakdown in communications that occurred during the Biden regime, as well as the Russian buildup,

00:04:50.120 is something that President Trump and President Putin are now in agreement on,

00:04:54.240 that that is what led to, in fact, the outbreak of the Ukraine war.

00:04:58.320 Something that we've been talking about for years here on the program.

00:05:01.120 But, of course, when it comes down to it, folks, this is really all about President Trump, President Zelensky.

00:05:07.620 Now you've got the chaperones, as Steve Bannon was calling them,

00:05:11.480 or perhaps the minders here of the European leaders.

00:05:15.660 The president of France, the prime minister of Italy, Ursula von der Leyen of the European Commission,

00:05:22.600 President Zelensky, as well, the prime minister of the U.K., all here visiting the White House.

00:05:28.140 And there will be a press conference.

00:05:29.860 So just on a programming note, my goal is to be out here as long as I can with you on Human Events Daily.

00:05:36.560 We are outside the White House.

00:05:38.740 But then at some point, I will be ushered inside for that press conference.

00:05:42.100 We're going to hand it off, and then I'll be coming up live.

00:05:45.280 That will probably take place after the show.

00:05:46.980 But, of course, we remember that this is a do-over for President Zelensky, in a sense,

00:05:52.720 after his first Oval Office meeting, which did not go so well.

00:05:56.600 So we are going to put the Real America's voice camera, we're going to park it right here outside the West Wing,

00:06:03.220 and that's the West Wing just over my shoulder there, where they're meeting in the Oval Office,

00:06:07.860 just in case there's any early exits the way that there were last time.

00:06:12.180 We're going to make sure that we're able to capture that and figure out what's going on.

00:06:16.580 Now, behind closed doors, the meeting is going on between President Trump and President Zelensky.

00:06:21.660 This is something that I certainly remember having traveled to Kiev.

00:06:25.160 The last time I saw President Zelensky was there with Secretary Besant,

00:06:28.760 and they were talking about this economic mineral deal between the United States and Ukraine.

00:06:35.620 That deal was not agreed to by Zelensky on that trip,

00:06:38.960 and certainly also not agreed to in the last Oval Office visit that we had between the two presidents.

00:06:45.380 Zelensky, of course, wore a suit today and was able to talk to Brian Glenn about that just a few moments ago.

00:06:49.860 President Trump also mentioning that Vladimir Putin is waiting for his phone call on the other end of this meeting here at the White House.

00:06:59.820 Their meeting in the Oval Office just steps away from where I'm standing here today on the North Lawn.

00:07:06.920 Jack Posobiec, Human Events Daily and Real America's Voice.

00:07:10.080 We're here live at the White House, The Anchorage Accords, Chapter 2.

00:07:14.400 We'll be right back.

00:07:19.860 Nothing will stand in our way.

00:07:23.100 And our golden age has just begun.

00:07:25.460 This is Human Events with Jack Posobiec.

00:07:27.240 Now it's time for everyone to understand what America First truly means.

00:07:31.880 Welcome to the second American Revolution. 0.56

00:07:37.540 President Zelensky, you look fabulous in that suit.

00:07:41.000 I said the same thing.

00:07:42.180 Yeah, you look good.

00:07:43.120 I said the same thing.

00:07:44.540 Yeah, you look good.

00:07:45.280 I said the one that attacked you last time.

00:07:47.240 I remember that.

00:07:48.560 Yeah, I apologize to you.

00:07:50.020 You look wonderful.

00:07:51.140 No, my first question for you, President Zelensky.

00:07:53.280 In the same suit.

00:07:57.020 I changed you.

00:07:59.120 Maybe yours is much better.

00:08:01.140 I was just telling the president.

00:08:03.020 I just spoke to President Putin indirectly.

00:08:06.020 And we're going to have a phone call right after these meetings today.

00:08:08.640 And we may or may not have a trilat.

00:08:11.780 If we don't have a trilat, then the fighting continues.

00:08:15.180 And if we do, we have a good chance.

00:08:16.600 I think if we have a trilat, there's a good chance of maybe ending it.

00:08:19.300 But he's expecting my call when we're finished with this meeting.

00:08:24.740 Thank you very much.

00:08:25.760 President Zelensky, are you prepared to keep sending Ukrainian troops to their deaths for another couple years?

00:08:33.340 Or are you going to agree to redraw the mass?

00:08:38.000 Thank you for your question.

00:08:39.440 So, first of all, you know, we live under each day attacks.

00:08:43.720 You know that today have been a lot of attacks and a lot of wounded people.

00:08:47.500 And the child was dead.

00:08:49.620 It's a small one.

00:08:50.840 One year and a half.

00:08:53.140 So, we need to stop this war to stop Russia. 0.89

00:08:56.780 And we need support, American and European partners.

00:08:59.960 All right, folks, this is Jack Posobiec.

00:09:01.580 We are back live here, Washington, D.C., on the north lawn of the White House.

00:09:07.580 Just steps away from where you can look just behind me there in the Oval Office, the west wing of the White House.

00:09:13.600 President Trump and President Zelensky are now holding Chapter 2, Part 2, the Anchorage Accords,

00:09:20.640 now being conducted on Friday.

00:09:24.220 We were accompanied with President Trump.

00:09:25.780 We were embedded with his delegation up to Anchorage to meet with the Russian side, Vladimir Putin.

00:09:30.940 Now we're here at the White House to explain what's going on with President Zelensky and President Trump.

00:09:36.860 I want to give a huge shout-out, by the way, to Patriot Mobile for making everything that we're doing in terms of this reporting possible.

00:09:45.880 So, go and support them.

00:09:47.280 Make sure you're supporting our sponsors because that is who keeps the lights on, who allows us to do this kind of travel.

00:09:54.540 Go and support them.

00:09:55.900 PatriotMobile.com slash POSO or 972-PATRIOT.

00:10:00.260 Again, PatriotMobile.com, 972-PATRIOT.

00:10:04.080 Think about it, folks.

00:10:05.160 You have so many options out there when it comes to your mobile phone service.

00:10:08.920 We've all got them.

00:10:09.860 We all need them.

00:10:10.560 In today's economy, in today's social life, you need a cell phone.

00:10:13.760 But why would you be giving your money to people who hate you?

00:10:16.960 We've seen where all of the big three are spending your money.

00:10:21.680 They're spending on wokeness, on CRT, on DEI, and ultimately on things that do not comport with the values of American patriots.

00:10:30.860 So that is why it's very simple.

00:10:32.860 There is now a Patriot phone service that's set up for Patriots, and it's called Patriot Mobile.

00:10:37.820 So check them out, PatriotMobile.com slash POSO, PatriotMobile.com slash POSO, or Quid them a call at 972-PATRIOT.

00:10:46.880 Now, folks, getting back to it, as we're here, remember, it wasn't that long ago, just one year ago,

00:10:53.880 where President Biden was talking about how the United States would be escalating the war in Ukraine,

00:11:00.280 talking about escalation in terms of missiles, long-range strikes, sabotage attacks deep within the Russian backfield,

00:11:07.720 the Kursk incursion going across the line into Russia proper, pushing the Ukrainians to do that.

00:11:13.620 Back in 2023, that summer, two years ago, the incredibly failed summer counteroffensive

00:11:19.100 where Russian, or excuse me, Ukrainian troops were smashed against Russians in places like Mariupol and Militopol.

00:11:26.380 This was the issue that President Trump came into when he came into office.

00:11:31.700 President Trump didn't start this war.

00:11:33.360 President Trump was a private citizen when all of this was taking place.

00:11:38.180 Now, looking, there's numerous White House officials.

00:11:40.460 They're coming by as we go.

00:11:41.860 And, folks, President Trump has always been against war.

00:11:46.120 He's always pointed out that it never should have happened, and, in fact, President Putin said this to him

00:11:51.120 when he was meeting at that meeting in Anchorage, that it wouldn't have happened had he been in office

00:11:56.640 because they would have found a way to have that one-on-one deal, that one-on-one conversation

00:12:01.860 between President Trump, President Putin, and then, of course, President Trump also being able to go

00:12:07.500 and have that sit-down with Zelensky.

00:12:09.380 And, in fact, he's always been sitting down with Zelensky, all the way to the fact that even one of his phone calls

00:12:14.000 with President Zelensky became the basis for an impeachment back in 2019.

00:12:19.560 It's very clear here, folks, that Ukraine represents to a number of the Atlanticist interests,

00:12:27.880 the globalist interests, something far more than just the people on the ground

00:12:32.340 or even the leaders in Kiev.

00:12:33.960 It represents what they have been working on for over a decade, a project, Project Ukraine.

00:12:40.800 And that project, unfortunately, has been to pit them against the Russian Federation

00:12:48.440 and to escalate this to the point where they could foment a war.

00:12:52.600 The globalists, the Atlanticists, will tell you that if they are able to achieve this,

00:12:57.400 that it will force regime change in Russia and it will force President Putin out of office.

00:13:02.380 However, that's not happened at all.

00:13:04.000 In fact, far from it.

00:13:05.980 We're seeing the Russian army, the Russian military, is now on the advance.

00:13:09.900 They are the ones who are currently on the march.

00:13:12.460 They're encircling Ukrainian troops in the Donbass as we speak.

00:13:16.300 They're creating these operational cauldrons and they're cutting off the supply lines.

00:13:20.980 As we said, and Human Defense said, you can go back,

00:13:23.540 Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer, when we've had him on, other analysts we've had on.

00:13:27.480 All of these things have been taking place, keyed up on when?

00:13:33.760 The end of July, beginning of August.

00:13:35.940 We told you that this would be the time that it all came to a forefront.

00:13:40.000 Why?

00:13:40.600 Because what we're now starting to see is a rolling collapse of the Ukrainian military on the battlefield.

00:13:47.000 And that rolling collapse means that the Russians are now poised to break out, 1.00

00:13:52.020 not just beyond Donbass, but even all the way up to where?

00:13:55.720 The Dnepr River.

00:13:56.460 And the Dnepr River really bifurcates Ukraine north-south, going from all the way in the north,

00:14:02.180 from Kiev all the way down south to the Black Sea.

00:14:04.980 And that's what this has all been about, that Black Sea.

00:14:07.760 Now, there are people, by the way, in Russia that do not want this deal.

00:14:11.940 They're saying, why sit down with the Americans at all?

00:14:15.500 There are hardliners to the right of Putin who say, we want the entire thing,

00:14:20.020 or at least the entire coastline, take all the way up to Odessa and leave behind a failed rump state of Ukraine.

00:14:27.560 That's what the Russian right is saying.

00:14:29.400 On the Ukrainian side, they're saying, no deal.

00:14:31.880 Don't negotiate with a country that invaded us. 0.97

00:14:35.260 Don't negotiate with a country that's come in and started this killing, 1.00

00:14:39.080 that started this shooting, that started this aggression.

00:14:41.200 They are the aggressor.

00:14:42.420 Why would we negotiate with them?

00:14:43.860 So it's President Trump who's now coming in here, and he's divvying this up.

00:14:47.920 Now, I've heard from a lot of people, people saying, look,

00:14:51.240 we don't want to see American boots on the ground in Ukraine.

00:14:55.200 Everyone I've talked to in the administration, that is the furthest thing from any of what they are saying.

00:15:00.980 Now, these questions, though, I know I saw this going around yesterday.

00:15:04.740 Article 5 like security guarantee.

00:15:07.060 What does that mean?

00:15:08.180 Well, on the Russian side, in fact, the Russians have always agreed

00:15:12.340 that Ukraine should have a security guarantee.

00:15:14.540 The question is, who are the guarantors?

00:15:16.200 Are the guarantors of that going to be NATO?

00:15:18.680 Are they going to be European nations?

00:15:20.300 Or perhaps a consortium, a coalition, if you will?

00:15:23.040 That's what you're hearing from the Ukrainians as well, as well, the Europeans and the G7 members

00:15:26.240 that are meeting here today, the NATO leaders.

00:15:29.540 They're saying, why not a coalition of the willing?

00:15:33.560 Russia, on the other hand, has said we'd be willing to join such a coalition and perhaps

00:15:37.480 even involve the Chinese, the Chinese Communist Party.

00:15:42.260 So all of these factors are playing into the meeting that President Trump, the series of

00:15:48.300 meetings that he embarked in last Friday in Anchorage, now today in the Oval Office in

00:15:53.800 the White House.

00:15:54.880 I want to get in now.

00:15:55.580 We've got a couple of minutes to the break.

00:15:56.800 I want to get in now some of the Real America's Voice team.

00:15:59.780 I think we have Beau and Emily down there in West Palm.

00:16:02.760 Guys, you there?

00:16:03.800 Yes, we are, Jack.

00:16:04.600 It's great to see you on the North Lawn there.

00:16:06.280 Jack, if I could, I'd love to touch base with you here on a topic you just touched on before

00:16:10.360 you have to jet.

00:16:11.180 With respect to Donbass, my understanding is that there's economic value to it, but there's

00:16:15.840 a defensible reason that Ukraine wants to keep this, because the terrain is different.

00:16:20.480 And if you open up that territory to the Russians, then it's basically flat foreign land all 1.00

00:16:24.700 the way to Kharkiv in Kyiv.

00:16:25.820 Is that why a place like Donbass is so critical in these negotiations?

00:16:32.620 Well, I mean, pretty much all of Ukraine is really that low flat land, that low flat farmland

00:16:38.320 coming off from the Black Sea.

00:16:40.080 The Donbass, yes, to it, has an extent of terrain to it, but it's really not that much.

00:16:44.900 And yes, to your point, the key geographic formation that would include any kind of military

00:16:51.360 barrier after the Donbass really is just that Dnepa River.

00:16:54.580 So there aren't really any.

00:16:56.420 And again, it's just these rules.

00:16:57.420 Remember, Ukraine is the breadbasket of Europe, and it certainly was the breadbasket of Europe 0.97

00:17:01.760 prior to the war.

00:17:02.780 That black soil that they have in Ukraine is incredibly arable land because of its proximity

00:17:08.920 to the Black Sea.

00:17:10.400 That's why the growth there is so incredible.

00:17:12.200 And it's also why companies like Monsanto and other GMOs have been looking to get into

00:17:17.380 Ukraine from the very beginning.

00:17:18.780 So there's, to your point, not just a military reason, but also an economic reason.

00:17:23.600 And Jack, what would be the best possible scenario coming out of today in that meeting right behind

00:17:28.940 you?

00:17:32.260 Well, you know, the best possible scenario would be a peace deal today.

00:17:35.120 And I certainly think that each side is going to have some consternation.

00:17:39.180 Each side will have to make concessions.

00:17:40.840 The Russians have been willing to say that they don't need to get all of the provinces 0.89

00:17:45.660 that they're claiming.

00:17:46.800 They're sort of positioning that as a concession, whereas the Ukrainians are saying, we want 1.00

00:17:51.520 just up to the contact line and nothing else, so up to the current front line.

00:17:55.120 But really, it's about getting a peace deal as quickly as possible for President Trump,

00:17:59.580 for the administration.

00:18:00.640 I think that's what they're driving towards.

00:18:02.420 And one that, again, isn't just going to be a ceasefire that could fall apart.

00:18:06.160 They want an actual, lasting peace deal that could perhaps set a new framework for relations

00:18:11.940 between the United States and Russia and Russia and the entire West. 0.56

00:18:16.040 Jack, walk us through what the rest of the day is going to look like there at the White 0.99

00:18:20.400 House.

00:18:20.700 We know that Trump and Zelensky are meeting right now, but there's also European leaders,

00:18:24.800 seven, if I'm not mistaken, that are going to be meeting with them as well.

00:18:28.140 So what can we expect to hear there?

00:18:29.980 I understand that Zelensky had his own private meeting before meeting with Trump today with

00:18:34.680 those European leaders.

00:18:36.000 What can we expect to see?

00:18:37.020 That's right.

00:18:40.240 So they're going to move from this meeting into a wider meeting with the President Zelensky

00:18:44.560 and the European leaders.

00:18:46.260 And at which point, if that goes well, and if all goes according to plan, that they're

00:18:49.940 going to move to a press conference where you're going to see President Trump, President

00:18:54.260 Zelensky, and likely one of the EU leaders.

00:18:56.520 I think we're coming up on a quick break here.

00:18:58.640 We're looking for that press conference as a positive sign.

00:19:01.340 Coming up, Human Events Daily, Real America's Voice, live from the White House.

00:19:07.020 You talk about influences.

00:19:15.440 These are influences and they're friends of mine.

00:19:19.700 Jack Russovic.

00:19:21.240 Where's Jack?

00:19:22.160 Jack?

00:19:23.160 He's done a great job.

00:19:25.080 If Vladimir Putin is going to be offered land that he has not seized yet, but negotiates

00:19:31.360 his way into, doesn't this set a dangerous precedent that the United States now accepts?

00:19:37.020 He accepts this concept that it is okay to seize land by force.

00:19:41.940 But this is not about acceptance.

00:19:43.060 This is about what Ukraine can accept and what Russia can accept.

00:19:45.760 They both have to accept it.

00:19:46.900 Otherwise, there won't be a peace deal.

00:19:48.440 Okay?

00:19:48.700 If there aren't concessions, if one side gets everything they want, that's called surrender.

00:19:52.980 That's called the end of the war through surrender.

00:19:54.820 And that's not what we're close to doing because neither side here is on the verge of surrender

00:19:57.980 or anything close to it.

00:19:59.000 So, in order for there to be a peace deal, this is just a fact.

00:20:02.120 We may not like it.

00:20:03.160 It may not be pleasant.

00:20:04.420 It may be distasteful.

00:20:05.720 But in order for there to be an end of the war, there are things Russia wants that it cannot

00:20:09.560 get.

00:20:10.180 And there are things Ukraine wants that it's not going to get.

00:20:12.260 Russia is still unsuccessful in Donetsk region.

00:20:16.040 Putin has been unable to take it for 12 years.

00:20:20.100 And the constitution of Ukraine makes it impossible, impossible to give up territory or trade land.

00:20:28.220 Since the territorial issue is so important, it should be discussed only by the leaders

00:20:34.480 of Ukraine and Russia and the trilateral Ukraine, United States, Russia.

00:20:39.500 So far, Russia gives no sign that trilateral will happen.

00:20:44.240 And if Russia refuses, then new sanctions must follow.

00:20:48.080 All right, Jack Posobiec here, live outside the White House.

00:20:52.520 We're on the north lawn.

00:20:53.700 It's called Pebble Beach.

00:20:55.200 Not too many pebbles here right now.

00:20:56.700 But there is a little bit of drizzle, a couple of drops of rain hitting.

00:21:00.380 We knew that we were going to get rain at some point today.

00:21:02.780 But I said, guys, we got to do it.

00:21:04.220 We got to be out there.

00:21:05.160 So I'll be out here.

00:21:06.020 Even if it's pouring rain, I'm not going anywhere.

00:21:08.600 Because this is what it's all about.

00:21:11.660 Stakes higher than ever.

00:21:13.800 The war in Ukraine, the war in the Donbass.

00:21:16.380 And Secretary of State Marco Rubio is saying it very plainly, that neither side is willing

00:21:20.920 to surrender here.

00:21:22.340 And in fact, both sides are willing to continue fighting.

00:21:26.840 After all, this is Eastern Europe.

00:21:29.080 And that's exactly how it goes over there.

00:21:31.440 They're not into surrender very much.

00:21:34.260 But perhaps a peace deal could be come to.

00:21:36.680 And something that I think a lot of people may have missed is that when Vladimir Zelensky,

00:21:41.840 when he was first running for president all the way back in 2019, so three years before

00:21:47.880 the war began, one of the things that he said that he wanted to be able to achieve during

00:21:52.760 his time in office would be to find a way to normalize some kind of situation with Russia.

00:21:59.040 Because for folks, remember, the original Donbass crisis goes all the way back to 2014,

00:22:05.340 go to the Maidan revolution.

00:22:07.020 That's when you see those territories break away, become autonomous.

00:22:11.020 Then the Russians move in. 0.91

00:22:12.540 So this conflict really goes back over a decade to that point.

00:22:17.860 And it's something that Zelensky talked about quite a bit when he first ran for office.

00:22:21.500 So we'll see whether or not he's interested in going back to his original position there.

00:22:27.180 I want to say I'll be here for a couple more minutes.

00:22:29.720 We're going to hand it off to the rest of the Real America's Voice team,

00:22:32.620 because I've got to run inside at the end of the segment here for the press conference.

00:22:37.340 I believe we have Steve Gruber, though, with us.

00:22:40.420 You do, Jack.

00:22:41.280 I'm here standing by ready and willing and able to pick up where you're leaving off.

00:22:46.140 Steve, what do you make of the day so far?

00:22:51.820 It's a remarkable day, Jack.

00:22:53.520 And, you know, I was reflecting on your video in the middle of the night here the other day.

00:22:57.220 I ran it on my morning show here on Real America's Voice first thing this morning,

00:23:00.260 because the point that you made is really important.

00:23:02.460 Donald Trump worked all the way home from Alaska.

00:23:04.960 He didn't rest on his laurels.

00:23:06.420 He didn't say, hey, we had a good meeting here.

00:23:07.900 He was on the phone wearing the phones with European leaders, NATO leaders, Zelensky, all of them.

00:23:12.720 It is remarkable that this man, 79 years of age, is one to work his fingers to the bone,

00:23:18.000 literally dialing the phone, hooking up and putting together these relationships and making it happen.

00:23:23.360 You were right there at the front row.

00:23:24.740 I'd like you to reflect on that a little bit.

00:23:26.140 I mean, to me, it's a remarkable display of grit and leadership.

00:23:30.880 And I think that's what it's going to take to maybe close the chapter on this war.

00:23:34.620 Your thoughts?

00:23:35.180 Well, Steve, not only that, but he went golfing just a few hours after.

00:23:41.540 So we get there.

00:23:43.340 We land at the tarmac.

00:23:44.760 And I don't know if I quite expressed this.

00:23:47.340 It was, you know, 3 in the morning.

00:23:48.920 And I've been going through how many time zones.

00:23:51.040 I couldn't even tell you.

00:23:52.240 But we're on the tarmac.

00:23:54.700 We land, though, at 2 in the morning on the tarmac.

00:23:57.500 And we're sitting there.

00:23:58.680 We're ready for the movement.

00:23:59.900 We're ready to get into the motorcade.

00:24:01.300 And suddenly we're waiting, and we wait a little bit longer.

00:24:04.900 And then we see the Secret Service, which is in the compartment ahead of us.

00:24:07.580 They all sit down.

00:24:08.400 We said, wait a minute.

00:24:09.000 When the Secret Service sits down, that's probably a sign you're not going to be moving anytime soon.

00:24:13.000 Then Caroline Leavitt comes back to us.

00:24:14.900 She says, folks, we're actually holding here on the tarmac.

00:24:18.540 What are we holding here on the tarmac for?

00:24:20.080 Is there some situation?

00:24:20.940 He said, well, President Trump is currently on the phone with a NATO leader, doesn't want to hang up the phone call.

00:24:27.080 So he held the entire delegation, held Air Force One there on the tarmac for probably about another 45 minutes to an hour in order to finish that conversation.

00:24:38.320 Didn't want to hang up the phone.

00:24:39.800 And at that point, we headed back to the White House.

00:24:43.620 So for people to realize that when he's up there in the air, Air Force One, that is a total working airborne White House.

00:24:50.940 He's got his airborne overall office.

00:24:52.520 He's got his situation room, full communication suite, ability to contact anyone in the world.

00:24:58.360 And he was working from the moment that he got on board to the moment he disembarked.

00:25:02.720 And he still got up and went to golf in the morning.

00:25:05.820 Yeah, it's remarkable.

00:25:07.300 And, yeah, what an experience for you to be lucky enough to see that from the front row where you were.

00:25:11.980 A pretty incredible experience.

00:25:13.060 You know, I want to I want you to weigh in on this, Jack, because we've talked about this, obviously, since February 2022.

00:25:19.820 My opinion has been and continues to be that I'm sorry, as angry as you may be, that Putin is going to be rewarded for his illegal invasion of Ukraine.

00:25:28.440 But he probably is.

00:25:29.560 He's not giving Crimea back.

00:25:31.080 He's not giving back those naval bases of those military airfields in Crimea.

00:25:35.100 That's been in the hands of Russia since 2012.

00:25:38.360 And the Donbass and those regions on eastern Ukraine probably not coming back either.

00:25:42.240 That's been my opinion for a long time.

00:25:43.860 And I think it was framed properly by Peter Ducey, who asked it right out of the gate today.

00:25:48.060 Are you willing to draw, redraw the maps of Ukraine?

00:25:51.060 Or do you want to spend another two years having people get killed?

00:25:54.100 Look, as our colleague Steve Bannon pointed out numerous times, 1.5 million people killed here or wounded.

00:26:00.840 That's more than the people killed one in the first two years of World War II on the European continent.

00:26:05.560 This war has to end.

00:26:07.760 Will it get done today?

00:26:08.780 I don't know.

00:26:10.140 But the war has to end.

00:26:15.380 Well, I think that's exactly right.

00:26:17.000 And it's been obviously one of the most powerful wars that European and really the world has seen since the end of World War II.

00:26:26.400 Will it get done today?

00:26:27.560 I hope so, just from that perspective.

00:26:29.640 But again, anything could take place.

00:26:31.380 I would say this.

00:26:32.580 As we know, President Trump has been working the phones all weekend.

00:26:36.480 We know that a lot of these decisions, a lot of these conversations were held even before anyone showed up today.

00:26:43.580 So it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of this had already been hashed out.

00:26:47.340 All right, Jack Posobiec, I am going to head inside to the press conference,

00:26:50.300 turning it over to the Real America's Voice team here live at the White House, Human Events Daily.

00:26:59.640 Hey, Jack, where is Jack?

00:27:09.300 Where is Jack?

00:27:11.520 Where is he?

00:27:12.780 Jack, I want to see you.

00:27:14.240 Great job, Jack.

00:27:17.860 Thank you.

00:27:18.620 What a job you do.

00:27:20.060 You know, we have an incredible thing.

00:27:21.420 We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys, and these are the guys who are beginning policies.

00:27:27.120 Welcome back to Human Events Daily.

00:27:29.440 I'm Beau Davidson alongside Emily Finn.

00:27:31.760 Emily, it's a hopeful day.

00:27:33.100 We would call this a hopeful day in the progress towards a path to peace.

00:27:38.780 You know, Vladimir Zelensky and President Trump are meeting right now as we speak.

00:27:42.920 We can only imagine what's being said.

00:27:44.700 Yeah.

00:27:44.840 But we hope it's a path to peace.

00:27:46.220 That's the hope.

00:27:46.720 Absolutely, Beau.

00:27:47.480 And I think, as Jack was mentioning throughout the show, it's really part two of that hope.

00:27:51.720 Last Friday, when Trump met with Putin, that was really the first step in the right direction with all of this.

00:27:55.820 But as we've been discussing throughout the show, I mean, it just seems like the two sides really are hesitant to give up what they want.

00:28:02.020 On the Russian side, you know, being that Donbass region, that land, that 88 percent of it has already controlled by Russia three years into this war.

00:28:10.000 And on the other side, you know, Zelensky wants those security guarantees.

00:28:13.460 But what does that mean?

00:28:14.620 So I think that's what he's talking with the president about as we speak.

00:28:18.520 They will be meeting with those other European leaders, as we've been reporting on as well.

00:28:22.740 UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Georgia Maloney included in that group.

00:28:30.600 We know that Zelensky talked with them earlier in the day, had a private side conversation before all going in on a unified front to talk with President Trump today.

00:28:38.560 So that is something that I'm going to be keeping a really close eye on, because I think that's going to give us some cues as to where the negotiations really do stand.

00:28:45.820 Yeah. And there's no deal till there's a deal. Right.

00:28:47.460 That's what President Trump has said. Vladimir Putin probably raised his issues and what he wants.

00:28:52.340 Vladimir Zelensky will do the same. But remember, as Marco Rubio said, not everyone is going to get everything they want.

00:28:58.280 That is why we have something called compromise. And that's something that just has to happen in this path to peace.

00:29:02.820 And Donald Trump has worked tirelessly. Jack Possova gave that anecdote of what happened on Air Force One.

00:29:07.280 One, working tirelessly to speak to European leaders, as he will do shortly.

00:29:11.600 I do want to talk also, Emily, about the lack of popularity of this war.

00:29:15.820 There's an attitude that has changed in terms of what the Ukrainians feel they should do and putting their trust in their fearless leader, Vladimir Zelensky.

00:29:24.100 So let's go to a SOT right now we have from CNN that talks about polling that has changed from 2022 up until now.

00:29:29.820 There have been some absolutely major shifts. The idea that Ukraine is going to achieve complete victory. 0.88

00:29:35.820 That idea has collapsed within Ukrainian society. What are we talking about here?

00:29:39.560 Ukrainians on the war versus Russia. You go back to 2022, the start of the war. Fight until Ukraine wins. 0.93

00:29:44.480 Look at this. The vast majority, about three quarters, 73 percent agreed with that position.

00:29:49.240 Negotiate to end the war as soon as possible. Only 22 percent.

00:29:52.120 Look at where we are now. It's a complete flip. It's the inverse.

00:29:55.480 Now, 69 percent want to negotiate to end the war as soon as possible, compared to just 24 percent who want to fight until Ukraine wins.

00:30:02.400 That's a 49 point drop in this position.

00:30:04.600 Emily, the results speak for themselves.

00:30:06.220 That is an entire flippage between 2022 and now in terms of the mentality towards this war and whether they want it to end or whether they should agree to peace.

00:30:14.460 Absolutely. And let's think about the mindset behind that. But I mean, the Ukrainian people at the very beginning, you know, it was so unfair. 1.00

00:30:21.140 They didn't want their region to be invaded by the Russians.

00:30:23.680 They had a lot of fight in them to not want to accept any kind of negotiations, not accept any kind of a deal.

00:30:29.000 But three years later, the Russians are still holding out. 0.98

00:30:32.200 And it just it feels like that probably is a huge inspiration behind those that flippage in statistics that you see on your screen here.

00:30:39.020 It is not a popular war. There are a lot of people, obviously, from Europe as well over at the White House today that want to assist in getting this war ended.

00:30:47.620 But the United States is they're really coming to the table and trying to get both sides together.

00:30:51.700 President Trump talking about how he's going to call President Putin after all of these meetings today and, you know, kind of fill him in and get an update on where negotiations stand from the Russian side.

00:31:01.380 And Trump, when he was meeting with Zelensky earlier, said that a trilateral meeting and getting that scheduled is the goal after all of these meetings today.

00:31:09.520 So I think that would be the next step looking forward, Bo.

00:31:12.220 That would be the goal. And we've got a lot of peace deals that Trump has brokered.

00:31:15.880 You know, Trump is the great peacemaker.

00:31:17.880 We've got Armenia and Azerbaijan, Rwanda and the Congo, India and Pakistan, Cambodia, Thailand, Ethiopia, Somalia and Israel and Hamas. 0.88

00:31:24.180 These are major, major peace deals that he's brokered.

00:31:26.260 I would like to bring in Steve Gruber, the great Steve Gruber, the encyclopedia, the human encyclopedia, Steve Gruber, who knows so much about the tireless work that Donald Trump has done.

00:31:35.200 Steve, I would like to ask you about the effect of the European leaders that are there today.

00:31:40.160 What effect are they going to have? Are they a buttress? Are they chaperones?

00:31:44.600 We don't have Steve. OK, well, we'll go back to Emily then.

00:31:46.880 Are these Steve Bannon called them the chaperones, basically, of this agreement?

00:31:51.640 A lot of these are NATO countries.

00:31:53.140 OK, so how do you do a deal that's NATO like in nature, but that does not involve NATO?

00:31:58.320 I think that's a fascinating component to this particular negotiation.

00:32:01.620 But I think you are absolutely spot on.

00:32:03.400 I mean, this is going to be some some pretty challenging conversations for everyone to have today.

00:32:08.180 Everyone wants to make sure that, you know, both sides are getting something out of this deal.

00:32:12.580 But it's just going to be extraordinarily difficult.

00:32:15.360 You know, President Trump really hesitated earlier to say it didn't say that there was going to be necessarily U.S.

00:32:20.180 boots on the ground, but a potential partnership with some of those other countries that are present at the meeting today.

00:32:26.160 So going to be keeping a very, very close eye on that.

00:32:29.740 Maybe weapons that he will be assisting sending them sending over as well.

00:32:34.600 So like I said, Bo, got a lot of very high level conversations happening today at the White House.

00:32:39.820 And let's mention those leaders again who are there.

00:32:41.640 It's Ursula von der Leyen of the EU.

00:32:43.520 You have NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Keir Starmer of the U.K., Emmanuel Macron of France,

00:32:49.300 Georgia Maloney of Italy, Friedrich Merz of Germany, and Alexander Stubb of Finland.

00:32:54.320 I do believe we have Steve Gruber back.

00:32:56.420 Steve, I called you an encyclopedia and you weren't even there for me when I needed you most.

00:33:00.780 But let's do talk about these leaders that are there.

00:33:04.060 What effects, Steve, do they have on this negotiation?

00:33:06.620 Well, it's like having camp counselors there, I think.

00:33:10.740 You know, you've got the little kid at camp and they've got the counselors there circling him

00:33:15.100 to make sure he doesn't do something wrong like set the barracks on fire or whatever.

00:33:18.620 That's kind of what he did the last time he was in the Oval Office.

00:33:20.760 I think that's a concern.

00:33:22.120 You know, I want to go back to you doing the CNN polling there a moment ago.

00:33:26.380 And to me, you know, the Ukrainians were all for fight till the end a couple of years ago. 1.00

00:33:32.020 Now they're like, you know what, let's just be done with this.

00:33:34.240 We'll negotiate our way out of it.

00:33:35.220 It reminds me of Mike Tyson.

00:33:37.160 You like sports analogies.

00:33:38.960 Everybody's got a plan till they get punched in the nose.

00:33:41.400 Well, let's be honest.

00:33:42.460 They've taken a big punch in the nose.

00:33:44.380 1.5 million people killed or wounded.

00:33:47.580 And like Peter Doocy asked today, do you want to redraw the lines or do you want to have

00:33:52.240 another 100,000, 500,000?

00:33:54.760 He didn't put a number to it, but I will.

00:33:56.140 You want another 1.5 million people killed and wounded?

00:33:58.380 I mean, Ukraine's not a big country.

00:34:00.040 It only has so much to give.

00:34:01.200 And it's a terrible price that they're paying for a war that's going nowhere.

00:34:05.080 It's been basically at this standstill, grinding back and forth, almost like into trench warfare.

00:34:11.860 And it's just damn sad.

00:34:14.820 And so I give a lot of credit.

00:34:16.220 I listen and I hear these people on the left screaming, well, Donald Trump, you know, is

00:34:19.900 meeting with Putin. 0.91

00:34:20.580 He's his puppet.

00:34:21.820 Well, they didn't say that when George W. Bush met with Putin or when Barack Obama met with

00:34:25.620 Putin or Hillary Clinton met with Putin and did all these different things.

00:34:28.640 It's only when Donald Trump meets with him that it's a problem.

00:34:30.720 And the problem here is, Democrats know this, if Donald Trump is able to help facilitate

00:34:37.560 an end of this war, and I pray that he can, he's a shoo-in for the Nobel Peace Prize.

00:34:42.600 You can't deny it at that point.

00:34:43.980 You can't.

00:34:44.940 If he's able to facilitate a peace here, you cannot deny it. 0.98

00:34:47.920 And if you do deny it, then you know that it's all garbage and nonsense and it's a meaningless 0.98

00:34:52.460 award. 0.97

00:34:53.640 I mean, Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for stopping exactly zero wars, from

00:34:59.220 what I recall.

00:34:59.840 Donald Trump, I think this would be number seven or eight.

00:35:02.300 I lose count.

00:35:02.980 I mean, he's bringing peace at a fevered pace around the world.

00:35:06.200 It's remarkable to watch.

00:35:07.300 It really is.

00:35:08.540 And I go back to what I said to Jack.

00:35:10.220 I don't think you get out of this without redrawing a lot of things.

00:35:13.140 Peter Doocy was right on the question.

00:35:15.680 I think that the Donbass is probably lost.

00:35:17.860 And look, I get it.

00:35:19.360 People do not want to reward Vladimir Putin for his behavior, for his aggression.

00:35:24.000 I get it.

00:35:25.040 But there's no way around it.

00:35:26.400 You're not getting Crimea back.

00:35:27.820 You've got, let me see here.

00:35:28.560 You've got the Sevastopol Naval Base there, the Baklava Submarine Base, the Vardisk Military

00:35:35.960 Airfield.

00:35:36.700 All of those things have been reinforced and upgraded since Russia took that piece of real 0.97

00:35:40.940 say in 2012.

00:35:41.980 So, look, this is where we are.

00:35:46.580 We can either stop the war and cede some territory one way or the other, at least Crimea at a 0.76

00:35:51.160 minimum, because it's been gone for 13 years.

00:35:53.600 Or this meat grinder can continue for another year or two or three.

00:35:59.300 Nobody wants that.

00:36:00.840 And how this plays out, by the way, also has the attention of Xi Jinping in Beijing.

00:36:06.000 There's no question.

00:36:06.780 This is an important outcome for what happens next on the world stage.

00:36:11.720 What does China see out of this? 0.77

00:36:13.160 These are all important questions.

00:36:14.320 I think that Donald Trump has projected himself of American strength and diplomacy and leadership.

00:36:21.580 And again, I pray that we can get something done here today.

00:36:23.980 And Steve, it kind of goes back to what President Trump said to Zelensky before.

00:36:27.180 You don't have the cards.

00:36:28.260 You just don't have the cards.

00:36:29.440 He doesn't.

00:36:29.840 And here's the other thing I want to ask you, too, about this poll.

00:36:33.200 It was mentioned that there haven't been elections in Ukraine in several years.

00:36:37.660 Do the Ukrainians have faith in their leader to be able to broker proper peace, no matter 0.94

00:36:43.500 what Zelensky's ego says?

00:36:45.300 Yeah, that's what I'm wondering.

00:36:46.000 Do they have faith to get it done?

00:36:47.440 That he can get it done?

00:36:48.420 That's a great question.

00:36:49.820 You know, because, again, you have all of these folks on the left pontificating about

00:36:54.120 we must save democracy in Ukraine.

00:36:55.880 What democracy are we saving exactly?

00:36:57.700 The one that canceled all of its elections?

00:37:00.140 Let me tell you something about American history.

00:37:02.100 In the throes of the War of 1812 or the Civil War or World War I, World War II, we never 0.96

00:37:09.860 canceled elections in this country, ever.

00:37:12.540 It didn't matter what the United States was up against, even when we were fighting brother

00:37:15.640 against brother in places like Antietam and Gettysburg.

00:37:18.600 We didn't cancel elections.

00:37:19.840 So there's no excuse in my mind at all to cancel elections in Ukraine.

00:37:23.540 If you want to be in the civilized nations, you hold elections.

00:37:29.040 You have leadership.

00:37:30.140 I mean, Winston Churchill got thrown out after winning World War II.

00:37:33.980 A few months after winning, he got tossed out by the Brits.

00:37:37.120 I mean, but you stand for re-election.

00:37:39.340 You don't cancel the elections.

00:37:40.620 Not in my opinion, Bo.

00:37:41.720 Not in my opinion.

00:37:43.280 That's 100% right.

00:37:44.160 Well, Steve, we appreciate your commentary, and as you are the Human Encyclopedia, as

00:37:48.200 we all know, bringing us some great Civil War references as well.

00:37:51.020 Thank you, Steve.

00:37:51.540 We appreciate that.

00:37:52.500 And we will be returning.

00:37:53.480 Emily Fenn and I will be just in a few moments back with more Human Events Daily in just a

00:37:57.640 moment on such a hopeful, important day.

00:37:59.880 Welcome back to Human Events Daily.

00:38:08.300 I am Bo Davidson filling in for Jack Posobiec, who is at the White House right now.

00:38:12.120 We're getting a live look at this family photo with European leaders.

00:38:15.280 You can see Donald Trump front and center alongside Vladimir Zelensky taking photos with these

00:38:20.140 wonderful European leaders who are not.

00:38:22.040 This is not NATO that you're seeing.

00:38:24.080 I think it's an important moment, Emily, to consider that these European leaders are

00:38:28.500 there, and this is not NATO, because it's been a hard line for Russia that Ukraine cannot

00:38:33.040 join NATO.

00:38:34.280 And maybe this is the foundation.

00:38:36.200 Maybe this is the answer that is not NATO.

00:38:39.300 And I think that's an important thing to consider today is Donald Trump has coalesced

00:38:42.240 all these European leaders that are not NATO and said, we may have a different way forward.

00:38:47.460 Definitely taking a different approach to this, Bo.

00:38:50.460 Looking at that scene right there, Zelensky looked very, very happy.

00:38:53.920 He had a big smile on his face.

00:38:55.940 I know that those conversations are going to be continuing right now, broadening out to

00:38:59.920 the rest of the group.

00:39:00.680 It was just Trump and Zelensky earlier.

00:39:02.760 And so I'm sure that these NATO conversations will be a big part of that, Bo.

00:39:06.640 Yeah, and I think we have Ben Burkwam, our Rav correspondent, who is the guru of all

00:39:10.420 things borders.

00:39:11.080 I spend so much time at our southern border, but I would like to take this conversation

00:39:15.340 to you in terms of borders, language, culture, things that Zelensky wants, things that Putin

00:39:21.640 wants.

00:39:22.320 We've got a coalition of European leaders there, and this isn't NATO.

00:39:26.480 And maybe this is a signal, Ben, I'd like to get your thoughts on this, that globalism

00:39:30.120 is not the answer anymore, that Donald Trump has found a different path forward to create

00:39:34.460 world peace that's not NATO-run.

00:39:36.260 Yeah, well, look, just real quick on NATO, on the United Nations, on the World Economic

00:39:43.600 Forum, all of these organizations have been taken over by communist globalists.

00:39:48.320 And you look at what they've done, originally set up for good.

00:39:51.320 They've been bastardized basically to do evil at this point.

00:39:54.780 They are not the answer.

00:39:56.300 And really, NATO was the cause of the problem to begin with.

00:39:59.440 If we go back to 2014, you look at the mainstream media's coverage of this over the last weekend

00:40:05.720 and basically saying, well, Obama was right because he gave a stern look, and Trump's wrong

00:40:10.040 because he smiled at Putin.

00:40:11.940 These guys are clearly out of touch with the reality of how things actually get done.

00:40:16.140 I think you're absolutely right.

00:40:17.220 Now, my concern is, I don't think Keir Starmer is the answer either.

00:40:20.920 I mean, he's not somebody that is a coalition that, if I was building a coalition, he's not

00:40:26.320 the guy I'd be putting on there.

00:40:27.740 You look at what radical Islam and the woke agenda of the global reset inviting the invasion 0.99

00:40:33.700 of Islam back into Europe. 0.95

00:40:35.480 So Europe's screwed regardless, both Western and Eastern Europe.

00:40:40.000 But actually, Eastern Europe's doing a lot better than Western Europe right now because

00:40:43.440 they've actually stopped a lot of the globalist, leftist, United Nations push for all, you know,

00:40:49.660 basically no borders, no walls, this whole idea that we have of the left in America.

00:40:54.680 They go around chanting, no borders, no walls, no USA at all.

00:40:58.180 Well, that's the same mindset, the same model that you have in Europe.

00:41:01.340 And England is basically being Islamized as we speak right now. 0.99

00:41:04.660 And so there's a whole bunch of other problems going on as well.

00:41:07.400 But what I think this is, really is, is President Trump showing you don't need all of those.

00:41:12.960 You don't need NATO.

00:41:14.000 You don't need these organizations that are really against our best interests.

00:41:17.880 You just need a strong leader in America.

00:41:19.860 If we have a strong leader in America, we are that, that shining beacon on a hill.

00:41:24.240 We can be that vacuum.

00:41:26.300 We can fill that vacuum with a power vacuum globally if we choose to use the power that

00:41:31.820 this nation has.

00:41:32.700 And we only do that when we have a president like President Trump.

00:41:35.920 Joe Biden had four years to do it.

00:41:37.740 And instead of actually helping the situation, he heard it.

00:41:40.040 Barack Obama had the same.

00:41:41.460 He was what led us into this position.

00:41:43.720 President Trump in his first four years stopped any new wars.

00:41:46.840 And you actually had Vladimir Putin say, if President Trump was in office, this would

00:41:51.820 not have happened.

00:41:52.540 I mean, for him to come out and say that.

00:41:53.960 And then the media attacks Trump for all.

00:41:56.940 I mean, it's just absolutely insane.

00:41:58.860 We're living in this paradigm where people are living.

00:42:01.740 One side of the world is living in cognitive dissidence.

00:42:04.660 The other side, we're living in reality.

00:42:06.640 And we're watching all this happen, saying there's a solution and you guys aren't it.

00:42:10.640 You're the problem.

00:42:11.440 So I'm really hopeful.

00:42:13.480 I mean, in the end, whether or not President Trump gets a Nobel Peace Prize or not, he deserves

00:42:17.800 it.

00:42:18.260 You look at what's going on.

00:42:19.500 Again, you've been talking about it all day.

00:42:21.680 Jack's been talking about it all last week.

00:42:23.880 And before, everything President Trump is doing, moving from a position of strength,

00:42:27.900 is the answer.

00:42:29.120 It's the model in order to achieve these goals that we have and that I believe he has as

00:42:34.580 well.

00:42:35.000 Well, thank you, Ben.

00:42:35.480 We're going to dip in right now.

00:42:36.720 President Trump is sitting live with these European leaders right now.

00:42:39.540 Let's take a listen in.

00:42:40.840 Hi, Mark.

00:42:45.660 Yeah.

00:42:46.980 Good.

00:42:53.920 Well, thank you very much.

00:42:55.180 It's a great honor to have you here, a special place.

00:42:59.700 White House is special no matter where you're from, represents so much.

00:43:03.860 And it really is beautiful.

00:43:05.140 And thank you for all of the wonderful things that took place today.

00:43:10.920 We've had a very successful day thus far.

00:43:13.640 Important discussions as we work to end the killing and stop the war in Ukraine.

00:43:17.960 We're all working for the same goal.

00:43:20.020 Very simple goal.

00:43:20.840 We want to stop the killing, get this settled.

00:43:23.080 I've just had the honor of being with President Zelensky and all of the discussions that we've

00:43:32.980 had.

00:43:33.280 We covered a lot of territory.

00:43:35.640 And I spoke indirectly with President Putin today.

00:43:38.860 We're going to call President Putin right after this meeting.

00:43:42.520 I'm sure we're going to have a solid meeting, good meeting, maybe a great meeting.

00:43:46.540 And we're going to try and work out a trilat after that and see if we can get it finished.

00:43:52.980 Put this to sleep because this is not since the Second World War has there been anything

00:43:58.880 like this.

00:43:59.460 So I'm honored to welcome NATO Secretary General Mark Ruta, who's a great gentleman, great,

00:44:07.820 great political leader in Europe generally.

00:44:10.760 But now he's the NATO Secretary General and you're doing a fantastic job.

00:44:14.980 Thank you very much, Mark.

00:44:16.000 Prime Minister Starmer of the United Kingdom, our friend and my friend and doing really

00:44:23.700 well and people like him a lot.

00:44:26.840 We all like him.

00:44:27.740 Everyone knows President Macron of France, who's been with me from the beginning, one of

00:44:32.820 the first people I met as a foreign dignitary.

00:44:37.880 And I liked him from day one.

00:44:39.680 And I like him even more now.

00:44:42.500 That's pretty good.

00:44:43.240 That's unusual.

00:44:44.860 That's a pretty unusual thing.

00:44:47.900 Prime Minister Maloney of Italy, who's a really great leader and an inspiration over there.

00:44:54.580 She's she's served now, even though she's a very young person, she's served there for

00:44:59.840 a long period of time relative to others.

00:45:01.860 They don't they don't last very long.

00:45:03.580 You've lasted a long time.

00:45:05.380 You're going to be there a long time.

00:45:06.540 Chancellor Mertz of Germany, who is a very strong person and a very strong leader and

00:45:15.980 very highly respected in Germany.

00:45:18.320 And he's my friend.

00:45:19.460 And it's an honor to have him as my friend.

00:45:21.180 Thank you very much.

00:45:22.380 Very good.

00:45:22.740 You look great with your tan.

00:45:23.960 Where did you get that tan?

00:45:25.560 I want to I want to get it.

00:45:27.060 And like that.

00:45:29.020 President Stub of Finland.

00:45:31.420 And he's a he's somebody that where are we here?

00:45:35.800 Huh?

00:45:36.320 Where where?

00:45:37.060 Oh, you look better than I've ever seen you look.

00:45:43.340 But you've done a great job.

00:45:45.760 And we wanted to have you here because you're somebody that we all respect.

00:45:49.240 And you've had a lot to do with the success, I think, and the potential success.

00:45:53.480 And thank you very much for being here.

00:45:55.460 We appreciate it.

00:45:56.880 And the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, who is somebody that

00:46:03.940 we just made a big deal with, with all of those countries.

00:46:06.920 I don't know.

00:46:07.560 I think you might be more powerful than all these guys at this table.

00:46:10.660 I don't know.

00:46:11.560 But you we had a great negotiation.

00:46:15.220 And you're respected all over the world.

00:46:17.940 So I want to thank you very much for being here.

00:46:19.640 It's a great honor to have you the Alaska summit reinforced my belief that while difficult pieces

00:46:25.620 within reach, and I believe that in a very significant step, President Putin agreed that

00:46:31.180 Russia would accept security guarantees for Ukraine.

00:46:35.220 And this is one of the key points that we need to consider.

00:46:38.360 And we're going to be considering that at the table also, like who will do what, essentially.

00:46:43.680 I'm optimistic that collectively we can reach an agreement that would deter any future aggression

00:46:50.260 against Ukraine.

00:46:51.260 And I actually think there won't be.

00:46:52.540 I think that's even over overrated, largely overrated, but we're going to find out.

00:46:57.920 And I think that the European nations are going to take a lot of the burden.

00:47:02.660 We're going to help them and we're going to make it very secure.

00:47:06.320 We also need to discuss the possible exchanges of territory, taking into consideration the

00:47:11.660 current line of contact.

00:47:13.960 That means the war zone, the war lines that are pretty obvious, very sad, actually, to look

00:47:21.080 at them.

00:47:22.400 And negotiating positions of President Putin.

00:47:26.520 So you have President of Ukraine, who you just met a little while ago, and we're going

00:47:32.980 to try and get a three-party meeting, maybe as soon as we can.

00:47:39.620 And I have a feeling you and President Putin are going to work something out.

00:47:43.200 Ultimately, this is a decision that can only be made by President Zelensky and by the people

00:47:49.760 of Ukraine working also together in agreement with President Putin.

00:47:54.320 And I just think that's very good things are going to come of it.

00:47:57.940 So I hope we have a good meeting and if we can have a good meeting, I'll set up a meeting

00:48:01.720 with President Putin.

00:48:03.820 And if you'd like, I'll go to that meeting and not that I want to do that, but I will

00:48:09.260 do that because we want to save a lot of people from dying.

00:48:12.880 A lot of people are dying and we got to save them, we got to save it 5,000, 6,000, 7,000

00:48:17.940 people sometimes a week.

00:48:19.880 All of us would obviously prefer an immediate ceasefire while we work on a lasting

00:48:24.220 peace.

00:48:25.220 And maybe something like that could happen as of this moment.

00:48:27.840 It's not happening.

00:48:28.840 But President Zelensky and President Putin can talk a little bit more about that.

00:48:35.180 You know, in the six or so wars that we stopped, we haven't had a ceasefire.

00:48:41.180 And so I don't know that it's necessary.

00:48:44.200 You can do it through the war.

00:48:46.140 But it would be I like the ceasefire from another standpoint.

00:48:48.840 You immediately stop the killing.

00:48:51.340 But I believe a peace agreement at the end of all of this is something that's very attainable.

00:48:57.260 And it can be done in the near future.

00:48:58.840 Message what came up because now.

00:48:59.840 Yes.

00:49:00.840 Yes.
