00:00:49.260 Christ is king.

00:00:50.280 We're also going to Fort Knox.

00:00:52.600 I'm going to go with Elon.

00:00:57.040 And would anybody like to join us?

00:01:00.000 Because we want to see if the gold is still there.

00:01:06.520 Joy Reid, she's now been sacked by low-rating MSNBC. 1.00

00:01:10.820 President Trump has given another set of lawful orders, and they will be followed.

00:01:14.440 If they're not followed, and all these orders are in keeping with the Constitution and norms inside the military.

00:01:19.080 If they're not followed, then those officers will find the door.

00:01:21.840 Musk is taking his effort to slash the size of the federal government to a whole new level by posting that federal workers need to explain what they've accomplished in the last week or get fired.

00:01:32.080 A trillion dollars.

00:01:33.820 That's the largest ever U.S. spending plan for the world's biggest company, and it comes with thousands of new jobs across multiple states.

00:01:42.500 Apple is spending 50% more this year in 2025 than it did during the first Trump term.

00:01:50.820 So $500 billion over four years.

00:01:53.120 It looks like we're getting very close to getting an agreement where we get our money back over a period of time.

00:02:04.900 But it also gives us something where I think it's very beneficial to their economy, to them as a country.

00:02:10.460 But, you know, we're in for $350 billion.

00:02:14.440 How we got there, I don't know.

00:02:16.600 But that's a lot of money.

00:02:18.020 A lot of money invested.

00:02:20.320 And we had nothing, nothing to show for it.

00:02:23.640 Europeans are in for about $100 billion, and they do it in the form of a loan.

00:02:29.240 And the Europeans have been great on this issue.

00:02:31.100 They understood it wasn't fair.

00:02:33.260 Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily.

00:02:36.940 We are here live back in studio after a great experience at CPAC.

00:02:42.900 Today is February 24th, 2025.

00:02:46.540 Anno Domini.

00:02:47.400 So you just saw President Trump there as well.

00:02:49.680 He's currently meeting in the Oval Office with Emmanuel Macron.

00:02:53.260 Now, Macron is here in Washington, D.C., to try to draw support for what he calls a European military peacekeeping force to Ukraine.

00:03:05.780 The idea being that a peacekeeping force, of course, which will be made up of NATO countries,

00:03:11.900 but potentially some non-NATO as well, like India, would be on the ground in Ukraine,

00:03:18.540 potentially in a demilitarized zone outside of the Donbass,

00:03:24.140 potentially to be able to stabilize the situation as is seen between Ukraine and Russia.

00:03:31.980 Now, this is something where a lot of people on the right have come down against,

00:03:35.660 but I will go back to last year when I specifically said this is what was coming for Ukraine.

00:03:42.780 They are looking to Syrianize.

00:03:45.080 They are looking to Syrianize the situation.

00:03:48.400 Now, Poland was initially the first country that they were pushing up. 0.99

00:03:51.480 They wanted Polish troops to be in there,

00:03:53.040 and they were going to have Polish troops be the first NATO forces inside Ukraine.

00:03:56.980 Poland, of course, under President Duda, said, no thanks.

00:04:00.060 So they came out.

00:04:01.320 Now France is forced to go hat in hand all the way to the White House to say,

00:04:06.620 okay, well, we'll put French troops in there. 0.92

00:04:08.820 Right, French troops going up against the Russians.

00:04:12.380 Yeah, that worked really well the last time it was tried under Napoleon.

00:04:17.940 Again, we remember the history here.

00:04:21.920 We remember.

00:04:22.940 You can go back.

00:04:23.540 Well, I should say, I say we.

00:04:25.120 When I say we, of course, I mean those of you watching Human Events Daily.

00:04:29.360 I'm talking about the Human Events audience.

00:04:31.340 I'm talking about people who are highly informed, people who are not low information,

00:04:36.040 you're high information.

00:04:37.020 So high information, Human Events listeners, of course, know about this because what do we do here?

00:04:41.700 We talk about history.

00:04:42.800 We talk about the French Revolution.

00:04:44.100 We talk about the Napoleonic Wars.

00:04:45.700 We talk about all sorts of things that have gone on in Ukraine and Russia all the way back hundreds

00:04:52.060 and hundreds of years, full-strike revolution, et cetera, et cetera.

00:04:55.300 Why?

00:04:55.880 Because all of it plays into the current situation.

00:04:59.740 And if you don't get that, like one of these libs out there, 0.76

00:05:03.540 then you have no idea what you're talking about.

00:05:06.240 Be right back.

00:05:06.740 Jack Posobiec, Human Events Daily.

00:05:17.220 Welcome to the second American Revolution. 0.56

00:05:24.260 All right, Jack Posobiec, we are back live here.

00:05:26.920 Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C.

00:05:29.020 I want to welcome in the third hour of the Charlie Kirk Show on the Salem Radio Network.

00:07:12.100 So, folks, we're seeing President Trump there in the Oval Office.

00:07:20.080 He, of course, is meeting with President Macron.

00:07:22.500 And we will be, just so you know, programming note, we will be going.

00:07:26.100 So there is a press conference scheduled between President Trump

00:07:29.240 and President Macron that it was scheduled for 2 p.m. Eastern.

00:07:32.800 So, obviously, it has not yet begun.

00:07:34.820 So we're here in a little bit of a holding pattern.

00:07:37.580 We're going to be monitoring our Real America's Voice cameras are at the White House,

00:07:41.860 and our microphones will be there as well to go straight to you the minute that conference begins.

00:07:47.360 It's going to be in the East Room.

00:07:48.540 But understand, this is all about Ukraine, and I'm sure it's going to be about tariffs as well.

00:07:53.160 So we need to understand, President Trump, Secretary Besson, Secretary Hegseth, VP Vance,

00:08:00.400 the envoys that were sent to Ukraine two weeks ago now have made an incredible, incredible impact on this war,

00:08:10.680 which, by the way, for those of you following, today is the third anniversary of the Ukraine-Russia war.

00:08:18.460 So this is the day the tanks rolled across.

00:08:20.600 And now, you can sit there, and on one side, you hear the mainstream establishment narrative,

00:08:30.740 unprovoked war, unprovoked war, unprovoked war.

00:08:33.960 But, of course, we all, and of course, by the way, and I'll just say this, right,

00:08:38.160 the war was started when Russian tanks rolled in.

00:08:42.080 That's when it crossed from a disagreement into an actual war.

00:08:46.800 But, of course, this iteration of the war isn't the first start of the hostilities between Russia and Ukraine.

00:08:54.260 That began in 2014, when the movement took place in the Donbass to separate and then join and be annexed by the Russian Federation.

00:09:02.840 Why did that take place?

00:09:04.000 It took place because of a plebiscite, Crimea as well, by the way.

00:09:07.700 It also took place because of the overthrow of Viktor Yanukovych, who was the prior president of Ukraine.

00:09:13.920 This is something, by the way, that gets totally lost.

00:09:17.600 People will say, you hear the mainstream, they'll say, Yanukovych was pro-Russia.

00:09:22.000 He was a pro-Russian president.

00:09:23.660 He was, you know, he reneged on a deal with the EU.

00:09:26.540 They were going to do an economic deal, and he totally reneged on it.

00:09:29.180 So he had to be driven out of office.

00:09:31.800 And yet, Yanukovych was elected by all of Ukraine.

00:09:36.100 He was Ukrainian.

00:09:37.500 He is Ukrainian.

00:09:38.260 He's still alive.

00:09:38.600 So, the fact that he was elected and then driven from office, in a color revolution, that received backing from the United States, from liberals, as well as conservatives.

00:09:52.280 John McCain was over there.

00:09:54.400 Lindsey Graham was over there.

00:09:57.400 Amy Klobuchar was over there.

00:09:59.060 Chris Murphy went over.

00:10:00.920 So you can see this going back and forth.

00:10:02.740 These guys were pushing for the overthrow of the president of Ukraine.

00:10:07.200 They got his overthrow.

00:10:09.080 He flees.

00:10:10.660 It's called the Maidan revolution, and you can go look this up.

00:10:14.240 And that's what leads to the current situation here, because this process has not been stabilized.

00:10:21.420 I'm not going to say that there haven't been aggression on both sides.

00:10:25.620 But what you have to point out is that every story has two sides to it.

00:10:31.160 Every argument has two sides to it.

00:10:33.160 You're going to sit there and say, oh, the Russians are this, this, this, this, this, and this.

00:10:37.260 I'm not even arguing that they're not.

00:10:39.160 But what I am going to say is you have to understand the story from where it began.

00:10:43.280 And that's why why President Trump, Peg Seth, and the rest of these guys are saying it's a complex situation.

00:10:48.560 It's just that.

00:10:49.540 Like any war, it's a complex situation.

00:10:51.900 Look, I would love if the world worked like a Marvel movie, and you got to say, oh, these are the good guys, and these are the bad guys, and there's nothing else going on.

00:11:00.920 But that's exactly the kind of corporate globalist narrative that they want to put on everything.

00:11:06.340 As it turns out, the real world is a little bit more complicated than that.

00:11:09.980 And yes, there are serious interests at play here.

00:11:12.860 We're talking energy interests.

00:11:14.760 We're talking demographic interests.

00:11:16.960 We're talking seaport issues.

00:11:18.640 We're talking military issues.

00:11:19.820 All of those things, and all of them under the sun and more, went into Russia's decision to begin this war.

00:11:28.740 Okay?

00:11:29.140 All of that went in.

00:11:30.380 But you even have to go back a little bit further than just three years ago to understand that who went to the Munich Security Conference just one week, I think it was even less than a week, before Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine.

00:11:42.260 It was Kamala Harris.

00:11:44.660 Kamala Harris went to that Munich Security Conference, and she was the one pushing them to say, we are going to get Ukraine into NATO.

00:11:54.620 And it was specifically this that the Russians had said, if you push for Ukraine into NATO, then we are going to wage war.

00:12:02.100 We will invade if you do this.

00:12:04.560 And Kamala Harris went and said, let's go and do that right now. 1.00

00:12:09.260 We've got a very special guest, by the way, I want to bring on for a couple of minutes until our break.

00:12:15.400 We're still, of course, waiting for President Trump and President Macron to come on.

00:12:19.740 But a guy who's got some incredible news, it is the CEO of Sticker Mule, Anthony Constantino, joining us.

00:12:25.720 What's up, Anthony?

00:12:26.620 What's going on there at the company today?

00:12:29.360 Hey, we're unveiling the first official presidential monument to honor the moment that President Trump was shot and butlerened to finally,

00:12:37.360 he courageously stood up, put his fist in the air, and gave everybody a tremendous sense of calm and pride in the face of sniper fire.

00:12:44.360 And it was the beginning of my entrance into politics.

00:12:46.940 I spoke up immediately following that bullet hitting his ear and spoke up, defended the president,

00:12:53.420 sending an endorsement to my 5 million customers.

00:12:55.500 It went viral.

00:12:56.320 And then I put up a beautiful sign that said, vote for Trump.

00:12:58.860 And shortly after that, I announced I was going to do a monument, too.

00:13:01.300 But we actually commissioned the monument before the election.

00:13:03.800 We commissioned it a month or two before the election, and it's finally done.

00:13:07.760 It's done by an incredible sculptor.

00:13:09.420 And we're going to be giving it to the president.

00:13:11.240 But first, we're going to unveil it here in New York.

00:13:15.660 So this is incredible.

00:13:16.820 So you're unveiling it there.

00:13:18.540 Is it always going to be at your lobby where it's going to be staying at, or are you going to be taking it other places?

00:13:24.640 We're going to unveil it in my warehouse.

00:13:27.420 It's going to look beautiful.

00:13:28.480 We got curtains.

00:13:29.120 It's going to look really fancy.

00:13:30.540 We did a big election night party there, and it was incredible with thousands of people.

00:13:33.420 So we're going to have a big crowd on Tuesday to unveil it.

00:13:35.820 And then we might do a little tour.

00:13:37.520 I was debating the idea, but I want to get approval from Trump, the Trump organization, who we're gifting it, too, if we can do it or not.

00:13:43.220 But it might be fun to bring it to New York City and rile up some Democrats down there and make them embrace the fact that people love the president.

00:13:50.000 By the way, you were talking about the situation in Ukraine, one of the reasons I'm such a big supporter of the president.

00:13:55.100 You can see my shirt said Trump for peace.

00:13:57.080 He's the one that's going to negotiate peace.

00:13:59.120 He's better at negotiations than just about anybody.

00:14:00.940 And the Democrats are the ones that really led us into the situation where so many people have died because of their inability to negotiate effectively.

00:14:09.380 Well, and that's exactly right.

00:14:10.760 President Trump, he campaigned on this.

00:14:12.400 He said, look, if World War III is on the ballot, we're going to be turning it off.

00:14:15.620 And people don't like the way that he's conducting himself.

00:14:19.580 But that's exactly what he said he would do, isn't it?

00:14:22.740 Exactly.

00:14:23.160 You have to talk tough to negotiate.

00:14:24.760 You can't be a nicer.

00:14:25.660 Sometimes you don't get what you want.

00:14:26.620 I'm learning that very quickly because I'm dealing with some rhinos up here in upstate New York that don't want me to enter Congress. 1.00

00:14:31.680 Why don't you be nice to everybody? 0.95

00:14:33.120 I said, well, there's a lot of whatever I shouldn't say the word kiss asses in politics. 0.98

00:14:37.000 And, you know, not so many people are tough.

00:14:39.080 We need more tough people.

00:14:40.120 And you don't negotiate and win if you're not tough.

00:14:42.020 You don't negotiate being a, you know.

00:14:43.840 We got a, hey, we got a quick break coming up here.

00:14:46.740 We're still waiting on President Trump and President Macron to come out there.

00:14:51.440 So give us one sec.

00:14:52.360 We'll be right back with Anthony Constantino from Peter Mule.

00:14:55.160 We'll be right back.

00:14:56.620 Today, you know, they talk about influencers.

00:15:03.280 These are influencers.

00:15:05.140 And they're friends of mine.

00:15:07.540 Jack Kosovic.

00:15:09.020 Where's Jack?

00:16:28.060 I want to go back now.

00:16:29.580 CEO of Sticker Mule, Anthony Constantino, is our guest.

00:16:33.060 Anthony, you got to tell me some more about this story behind how it was that you guys built this incredible statue of President Trump,

00:16:42.500 the first statue of President Trump that I think has ever been made, as far as I can tell.

00:16:47.180 Did you crowdfund this?

00:16:48.920 Was this something that you funded?

00:16:50.320 How did it come to be?

00:16:52.420 I moved very quickly, and I self-funded it.

00:16:55.180 I put up a beautiful sign that said, vote for Trump very quickly.

00:16:57.820 The Democrats tried to throw me in jail over the sign.

00:17:00.780 I beat them in court, and then the Democrat that tried to throw me in jail, he went to Newsweek,

00:17:06.440 and he said, nobody supported my sign, that people didn't come out to support my sign.

00:17:09.540 Well, I had about 5,000 people that came to support me and my sign when I put it up.

00:17:13.420 I held my first rally for President Trump, and I said, that wasn't a nice thing to say.

00:17:17.140 Let's do another rally.

00:17:18.000 So we did another rally.

00:17:18.900 Another 5,000 people came for my second rally, and I wanted to surprise everybody.

00:17:22.920 I said, look, for everything you did for me, I'm going to do what I can to make us part of history.

00:17:26.760 I'm going to make upstate New York part of history.

00:17:28.860 And so I said, we're going to commission this beautiful monument.

00:17:32.080 We're going to gift it to the president, and I'm going to fight to bring the president

00:17:34.560 right to where my sign is so he can come meet all the people one day.

00:17:38.220 And I think any event I get in Congress, which seems like it's going to happen,

00:17:42.160 that's almost a guarantee at this point.

00:17:43.960 I think President Trump will eventually make his way up here, hopefully will,

00:17:47.200 once I'm in Congress, once I'm campaigning.

00:17:49.120 Love to have him up here.

00:17:49.820 But we're going to be giving him this statue.

00:17:51.620 I already got word that he loves the statue, and we're excited to give it to him.

00:17:55.880 And I'm making good of my promises to people.

00:17:57.940 I said, I'm going to get the statue done.

00:18:00.200 I'm going to unveil it here.

00:18:01.060 I'm going to make us part of the history of the Trump presidency.

00:18:04.440 And thus far, that's happening.

00:18:07.400 So walk me through, what is the timeline, again, for the race itself?

00:18:12.200 Because obviously, this is regarding a special election.

00:18:16.040 Has Kathy Hochul come out?

00:18:17.360 I know she's been very busy all weekend attacking the Trump administration.

00:18:20.520 But has she come out and actually set a date yet?

00:18:23.820 So that's up to the president and Speaker Johnson and Congresswoman Stefanik when she vacates.

00:18:28.800 So they're still having a conversation.

00:18:29.980 It's a fluid situation.

00:18:31.180 But the great news is we did our first poll, and I'm the frontrunner by a lot.

00:18:35.140 I'm the frontrunner by a lot, 40% in the polls.

00:18:38.460 Admittedly, I'm an honest person.

00:18:39.560 So I'll say I'm tied with another guy.

00:18:41.100 But the other guy is a big Trump hater.

00:18:42.380 So he's not really an option.

00:18:44.120 The president's not going to want a Trump hater in Congress.

00:18:45.840 So it's me and a Trump hater and a few other people that are at 5% or 6%.

00:18:49.560 But my poll numbers are rising really quickly.

00:18:51.740 I'll probably be at 50% or 60% soon, of course.

00:18:54.280 The RINO establishment is fighting me, but they have to listen to the voters because the

00:18:58.780 voters are going to be very upset if they don't have a guy like me fighting for them.

00:19:02.220 We need fighters.

00:19:03.720 President Trump called New York State the most corrupt state in the union.

00:19:07.320 I'm learning very quickly.

00:19:08.860 He was right.

00:19:09.700 We have a lot of corruption in New York State.

00:19:12.000 A lot of complacency, too.

00:19:13.540 People don't want change here.

00:19:15.100 The Democrats like the corruption and the Republicans are maybe a little bit scared

00:19:18.260 to fight them.

00:19:21.480 Now, what do you suppose that's for?

00:19:23.500 Is it just because it's this learned helplessness or what?

00:19:26.260 Because we saw President Trump's results right there a couple of months ago and then

00:19:31.640 Zeldin before that.

00:19:32.600 It looks as though Trump's brand of Republicanism is actually something that New York State,

00:19:37.220 obviously President Trump and New Yorker himself, is actually starting to embrace.

00:19:41.680 It's a great question and it's a simple answer.

00:19:44.040 It's called people want to protect their pocketbooks.

00:19:45.920 And so when you have an organization that's not performing, right?

00:19:49.640 When you have an organization that's not performing and you have a change agent like President Trump

00:19:53.080 or myself that want to get in and fix things, the people that aren't performing that are

00:19:56.540 making money off the political process, the rhinos or incompetent people, whatever you

00:20:00.760 want to call them, they're scared about their pocketbooks because they know if I get in,

00:20:04.700 they might not have a job in the future.

00:20:06.100 And look what happened with President Trump at the national level.

00:20:08.140 How many people that were ineffective are now gone from the Republican Party?

00:20:11.660 We have an establishment at the national level.

00:20:13.700 We have an establishment at the state level.

00:20:15.160 It's obvious that New York State's a failing state.

00:20:17.220 It's going in a bad direction and it's going in a bad direction because there's bad leadership

00:20:20.540 here.

00:20:20.920 So the people are looking to protect their pocketbooks.

00:20:23.280 Unfortunately, some of those people are Republicans.

00:20:25.000 They want to protect their pocketbooks because they know Congressman Constantino means there's

00:20:28.660 going to be things changing and change means people that aren't good aren't going to be

00:20:32.600 here anymore.

00:20:33.120 We're going to replace them with better people.

00:20:35.600 Anthony, where can people go to follow you and get more information, man?

00:20:37.880 Well, the best thing is Facebook.

00:20:40.240 Look me up on social media, any of the networks.

00:20:42.240 I got a very active presence on Facebook or go to voteforanthony.com.

00:20:46.640 All right.

00:20:47.100 Appreciate it.

00:20:47.600 Anthony Constantino, CEO of Sticker Mule, the first ever statue of Trump.

00:20:57.500 Where is Jack?

00:20:59.920 Where is Jack?

00:21:02.240 Where is he?

00:21:03.540 Jack, I want to see you.

00:21:05.020 Great job, Jack.

00:21:08.660 Thank you.

00:21:09.420 What a job you do.

00:21:10.840 You know, we have an incredible thing.

00:21:12.240 We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys and these are the

00:21:16.700 guys who should be getting Pulisic.

00:21:20.100 All right, Jack Prosopik.

00:21:21.660 Here we are back.

00:21:22.700 Human Events Daily.

00:21:23.720 Third hour, Charlie Kirk on the Salem Radio Network.

00:21:27.860 Folks, listen up because I'm about to put you on to something that will change the way

00:21:31.440 you start your day.

00:21:33.080 I'm talking about blackout coffee, but blackout coffee is not just coffee.

00:21:37.000 It's a wake-up call.

00:21:37.880 It's a call to rise and grind, to push harder, and to never compromise on what you stand for.

00:21:44.360 Since your average cup of Joe, every bag of blackout coffee is roasted with purpose,

00:21:48.760 packed with bold flavor, and fueled by the kind of values that built this country.

00:21:52.480 Grit, determination, and a refusal to back down.

00:21:56.400 They don't just make coffee.

00:21:58.100 They make a statement.

00:22:00.900 Blackout coffee, it's stepping up.

00:22:02.900 It's adding more warriors.

00:22:04.340 So they're adding more warriors right there so that you can get your orders out faster

00:22:07.780 than ever.

00:22:08.320 And when you hit the order now button, you know that your coffee's coming fresh and ready

00:22:12.180 to fuel your next move.

00:22:14.400 Whether you're powering through the daily grind, chasing big goals, or just refusing to settle

00:22:18.520 for mediocrity, blackout coffee has got your back.

00:22:21.840 Don't just drink coffee, drink blackout.

00:22:24.440 Go to blackoutcoffee.com slash POSO and use promo code POSO for 20% off your first order.

00:22:31.040 Taste the coffee.

00:22:32.540 It doesn't just wake you up, it fires you up.

00:22:35.360 That's blackoutcoffee.com slash POSO, blackoutcoffee.com slash POSO.

00:22:40.880 So I see everybody's running around saying, oh, Doge is firing people.

00:22:45.860 Oh, no.

00:22:46.800 Oh, gosh, they're letting people go.

00:22:48.840 Oh, no.

00:22:49.580 Oh, woe is us. 1.00

00:22:50.580 Woe is me. 1.00

00:22:51.260 It's so sad.

00:22:52.760 It's so sad.

00:22:54.820 Well, I want to go back.

00:22:57.700 We'll just wind the old POSO way back machine here a little bit to remind you how the Biden

00:23:05.660 administration act when all of the pipeline workers got fired from their jobs and got laid

00:23:13.240 off because of their policies.

00:23:15.700 And by the way, this isn't federal workers.

00:23:17.480 This is actual pipeline workers, blue collar workers, salt of the earth people that actually

00:23:25.340 make this country run.

00:23:27.040 Let's go back and see how Jen Psaki reacted when she was informed that thousands of oil 0.65

00:23:34.360 workers would be losing their jobs.

00:23:36.040 Thank you, Jen.

00:23:37.760 I do have a question on COVID.

00:23:39.280 But first on energy, when is it that the Biden administration is going to let the thousands

00:23:44.140 of fossil fuel industry workers, whether it's pipeline workers or construction workers, who

00:23:50.720 are either out of work or will soon be out of work because of a Biden EO, when it is and

00:23:56.280 where it is that they can go for their green job.

00:23:59.040 And that is something the administration has promised.

00:24:02.120 There is now a gap.

00:24:04.360 So I'm just curious when that happens, when those people can count on that.

00:24:08.400 Well, I'd certainly welcome you to present your data of all the thousands and thousands

00:24:13.100 of people who won't be getting a green job.

00:24:15.700 Maybe next time you're here, you can present that.

00:24:17.880 But you said that they would be getting green jobs.

00:24:19.840 So I'm just asking when that happened.

00:24:21.380 Richard Trumka, who is a friend, longtime friend of Joe Biden, says about that day one

00:24:26.760 Keystone EO, he says, I wish he, the president, had paired that more carefully with the thing

00:24:32.580 that he did second by saying, here's where we are creating the jobs.

00:24:37.260 So there's partial evidence from Richard Trumka.

00:24:40.740 Well, you didn't include all of his interview.

00:24:43.400 Would you like to include the rest?

00:24:44.800 So how about this?

00:24:45.920 The Laborers International Union of North America said the Keystone decision will cost

00:24:50.300 1,000 existing union jobs and 10,000 projected construction jobs.

00:24:55.140 Well, what Mr. Trumka also indicated in the same interview was that President Biden has

00:25:00.600 proposed a climate plan with transformative investments and infrastructure and laid out

00:25:05.100 a plan that will not only create millions of good union jobs, but also help tackle the

00:25:09.320 climate crisis.

00:25:10.380 And as the president has indicated when he gave his primetime address to talk about the

00:25:15.080 American Rescue Plan, he talked about his plans to also put forward a jobs plan.

00:25:20.300 In the weeks or months following, he has every plan to do exactly that.

00:25:26.140 But there are people living paycheck to paycheck.

00:25:28.600 There are now people out of jobs once the Keystone Pipeline stopped construction.

00:25:34.940 It's been 12 days since Gina McCarthy and John Kerry were here, and it's been 19 days

00:25:39.000 since that EO.

00:25:39.780 So what are these people who need money now?

00:25:41.900 When do they get their green job?

00:25:43.500 Well, the president and many Democrats and Republicans in Congress believe that investment

00:25:50.380 in infrastructure, building infrastructure, that's international interests, and the boosts

00:25:55.100 the U.S. economy, creates good-paying union jobs here in America and advances our climate

00:25:59.560 and clean energy goals are something that we can certainly work on doing together.

00:26:03.460 And he has every plan to share more about his details of that plan in the weeks ahead.

00:26:08.240 Well, there you go, Jen Psaki.

00:26:11.660 Jen Psaki going and telling all the pipeline workers, telling them they can go and get green

00:26:18.940 jobs.

00:26:19.800 You can go and get some green jobs.

00:26:22.480 More than happy to have that.

00:26:24.160 Don't worry about going down the mines.

00:26:27.040 Don't worry about laying pipes.

00:26:29.100 Don't worry about the construction jobs.

00:26:31.120 You're all going to be losing those.

00:26:32.140 By the way, there was another clip I posted up on Exit this morning of President Biden

00:26:35.980 himself back in 2019 when he was talking about this.

00:26:39.580 And he was also asked, they said, look, these policies are clearly going to lead to people

00:26:46.080 in these industries losing their jobs.

00:26:47.900 And he said, you can learn to program.

00:26:51.380 Learn to program.

00:26:52.320 He said, if you can go down to mine, you can learn to program.

00:26:55.860 If you can be a firefighter, you can learn to program.

00:26:58.480 And I spent the entire morning just digging up these clips of Biden telling workers to

00:27:04.680 go learn to program.

00:27:06.200 Jen Psaki, one of the more egregious ones, saying, go get green jobs. 1.00

00:27:10.380 And, you know, I love Ducey right there.

00:27:12.760 Where did they go to get the green jobs? 0.96

00:27:14.720 Did they just magically fall out of a hat?

00:27:17.240 No, of course, that's not actually what happened.

00:27:19.680 Joy Reid.

00:27:20.940 Joy Reid, who, my gosh, my gosh, I got to get the violin out for old Joy.

00:27:26.340 Got to get the violin out.

00:27:27.480 Now, Joy Liz Reid is losing her job at MSNBC. 1.00

00:27:33.000 I tried so hard.

00:27:33.960 I gave her so much content over the years.

00:27:36.880 She's the only person on MSNBC that's ever actually let me on her show all the way back

00:27:43.760 in 2016.

00:27:45.280 And she'll be losing her job the same way she lost her hair.

00:27:48.440 It's actually, it's very sad.

00:27:50.040 But at the same time, I hope that she will be able to sit and reflect with herself just

00:27:55.980 a little bit more about all the horrible things that she said and done that led her to the

00:28:02.360 situation she's currently in. 0.98

00:28:04.360 Also, by the way, should have stuck with the Trump hair, Joy.

00:28:07.500 Yeah, honestly, I like Joy with the Trump hair.

00:28:10.400 That was my favorite Joy.

00:28:11.860 My favorite one was her.

00:28:13.040 But we found a video from her when I was going through the archives, found a video of Joy

00:28:18.240 Reid, where she was laughing and mocking police officers and firefighters who were being fired 0.94

00:28:25.900 for not taking the COVID vaccine.

00:28:28.900 So think about that.

00:28:29.880 She was laughing.

00:28:30.620 She was mocking them.

00:28:33.380 She was at the same time, by the way, she was also slandering them, talking about how

00:28:38.000 police officers go and attack minorities and saying how this is some major problem in society.

00:28:46.800 But if you go and look at the FBI statistics, well, actually fine, that's not true.

00:28:51.340 Speaking of the FBI, by the way, had an interesting evening the other evening last Friday night

00:28:58.800 after a confirmation by a certain individual where, what can I say?

00:29:06.520 Folks, I went out with my brother, Kev, and we were hanging out with the Fed on Friday night.

00:29:11.740 That's right, myself, my brother, Kev Posobiec, hanging out with the Fed.

00:29:15.660 That's Kash Patel, a.k.a. the director of the FBI.

00:29:21.180 And he had an after party and was gracious enough to invite us to be there and have us out.

00:29:26.780 And I have to tell you, the team that they're putting together, as well as the new deputy

00:29:31.860 director, which news, of course, we all saw yesterday, Dan Bongino, being appointed to

00:29:36.720 that position is going to be something that I think it's amazing because in addition to

00:29:42.620 all the good that this team is going to do over at the FBI, you just know that for all

00:29:48.160 the bad folks at the FBI, all the bad people, it is going to drive them so completely insane

00:29:55.440 that they're all going to flee the field offices.

00:29:59.380 Think of it.

00:30:00.200 All the field offices of the FBI now have to report to Dan Bongino and Kash Patel.

00:30:06.240 It's actually hilarious.

00:30:08.520 So all of the field office directors are absolutely, the ones that haven't been fired, by the way,

00:30:13.640 are absolutely going to be out the door in two seconds.

00:30:17.620 And it's incredible to see.

00:30:19.200 Folks, patriots in full control.

00:30:21.100 What else can I say?

00:30:22.440 Patriots in full and absolute control.

00:30:25.120 And we're not going back to the way things were.

00:30:28.180 But at the same time, look, as fun as it is to troll the left, and we love doing that

00:30:33.680 here on the program, and we all know I certainly love to do that on X, we got to get serious,

00:30:39.300 too.

00:30:40.100 We have to remember that we inherited, the right inherited, and was elected to solve

00:30:46.280 the crises that were going on, multiple crises in this country.

00:30:51.020 Crises of a three-tier Justice Department.

00:30:54.140 I've told you so many times, I believe it's actually three tiers, not just two, but three.

00:30:58.060 Okay.

00:30:59.080 The tier for the Democrats and the elites, the tier for the regular folks, and the tier for

00:31:05.240 anyone associated with the right or Trump.

00:31:07.340 That's on the justice front.

00:31:09.140 On the military front, military, national security front, you got Secretary Hegsat.

00:31:13.520 You got Secretary, excuse me, Director of Tulsi Gabbard now.

00:31:17.800 You've also got Pam Bondi at the Attorney General. 0.69

00:31:21.900 And on the health front, you've got Secretary of Health, RFP.

00:31:27.720 And Tanya Tay up on Twitter, or X, was tweeting earlier.

00:31:33.200 So remember how Elon Musk has put out this email saying, hey, you have to, you know, list

00:31:38.980 five things that you did this week.

00:31:40.800 Tanya Tay was joking.

00:31:41.860 She said, how long before RFK sends an email to all Americans, list five foods that you ate

00:31:47.360 this week.

00:31:48.380 Ba-boom. 0.66

00:31:49.500 Send us five foods you ate this week.

00:31:50.900 1776 at humanevents.com, 1776 at humanevents.com.

00:31:55.740 All right.

00:31:55.960 We're watching now.

00:31:56.820 By the way, we're still awaiting President Trump and President Macron to arrive there in

00:32:02.320 the East Room of the White House for a presidential press conference.

00:32:06.820 I'm hearing that it looks like it might be starting soon here.

00:32:10.440 We've got it up in the corner.

00:32:12.160 Could be coming any second now.

00:32:14.420 Of course, we're waiting for them.

00:32:15.520 I think I see Stephen Chung, The Drill, Stephen Chung, The Drill is there.

00:32:21.940 Guys, can we get that up?

00:32:23.240 Let's get that up on the screen there's larger so people could see it as well.

00:32:29.520 We've got Secretary Besant as well.

00:32:31.860 He's in discussion.

00:32:32.760 I think I see Mike Waltz, the national security director, and J.D. Vance is back to us, and

00:32:40.360 as well as I think that's Steve Witkoff in The Far Back.

00:32:44.580 So in the rear.

00:32:46.080 So look, you're seeing these conversations, and this is something for folks to remember

00:32:49.840 that you really do see the entire administration working together very, very closely.

00:32:55.740 This isn't something where certain people are one angle, certain people are on another.

00:33:00.580 Secretary Besant there, by the way, with French ancestry, so it makes sense for him to, I believe

00:33:05.820 he is a scion of the Huguenots, if I have that correctly, who resided down in Charleston.

00:33:13.040 And of course, bringing the entire team together.

00:33:16.560 That's what President Trump has done.

00:33:19.020 That's what the team is doing now.

00:33:20.380 And we await the joint press conference between President Trump and President Macron here in

00:33:27.080 Washington, D.C.

00:33:28.800 Moments away.

00:33:29.620 We're going to do a quick break.

00:33:31.000 Right back.

00:33:31.840 If they come, we'll go directly to them.

00:33:34.140 Jack Posobiec, hour three at the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:33:36.720 His audience here on the Salem Radio Network, The Real America's Voice.

00:33:41.220 We'll be right back.

00:33:41.740 I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.

00:33:54.080 All right, Jack Posobiec, Washington, D.C.

00:33:56.500 We'll take you now to the White House, where President Trump and President Macron have begun

00:34:00.200 their press conference.

00:34:01.400 Well, thank you very much, everyone.

00:34:03.180 Great honor to be here with my friend.

00:34:05.780 I'm delighted to welcome President Macron back to the White House.

00:34:15.220 We've been together quite often, but not that often in the White House.

00:34:20.500 We honored the President, First Lady of France, not so long ago.

00:34:26.800 It was a beautiful evening, and we will not soon forget it.

00:34:30.660 It was a beautiful day and evening.

00:34:32.460 And many fond memories.

00:34:35.640 I also want to thank Emmanuel for hosting me in Paris last December, after a historic

00:34:40.740 election win, to witness the reopening of the spectacular Notre Dame Cathedral, where

00:34:46.800 you did an outstanding job in bringing it back together.

00:34:50.100 That was a sad day, watching that burn.

00:34:52.780 And five years later, you had it up, and it was, they say, more beautiful than it was

00:34:57.860 before.

00:34:58.360 So I think that's a great achievement.

00:34:59.920 That was not easy.

00:35:02.460 France is America's oldest ally.

00:35:04.920 Our cherished partnership has been a force for freedom, prosperity, and peace from the

00:35:10.300 very beginning.

00:35:11.060 We're now working on some very interesting developments, one in particular, as you know,

00:35:15.800 the war between Russia and Ukraine.

00:35:18.480 In the American Revolution, French support helped us to seize our destiny as an independent

00:35:23.860 nation.

00:35:24.360 In the First and Second World Wars, our citizens shed blood together on the battlefields of

00:35:30.460 Europe.

00:35:32.460 And I'll never forget joining President Macron six years ago on the 75th anniversary of D-Day.

00:35:38.040 That was some day.

00:35:39.920 The purpose of our meeting today is to end another battle, a really horrible one, a war, something

00:35:47.000 that we haven't seen since the Second World War that is ravaging European soil, the deadliest 0.98

00:35:53.600 and most destructive conflict that one can imagine.

00:35:56.920 I've seen the pictures.

00:35:57.920 I've seen the satellite photos and lots of other photos.

00:36:01.340 And it's a horrible thing that's happening.

00:36:04.420 Thousands of people are dying a week.

00:36:07.000 This very day is the third anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine, which would never have 1.00

00:36:11.860 happened if I was president.

00:36:13.360 That was not going to happen.

00:36:15.380 The horrors of this gruesome and bloody war can scarcely be overestimated.

00:36:19.940 Hundreds of thousands of people, Russians and Ukrainians in particular, have needlessly

00:36:26.760 died.

00:36:27.760 An entire generation of Ukrainians and Russian men has been decimated.

00:36:33.400 One thousand-year-old cities have been turned into rubble.

00:36:38.760 Those beautiful spires that you used to see there — they were most beautiful in the world,

00:36:44.520 they say — are lying in heaps of rubble, blasted to smithereens.

00:36:51.520 And it's time to end this bloodletting and restore peace.

00:36:55.640 And I think we're going to do it.

00:36:56.980 We've had some great conversations, including with Russia.

00:37:01.200 Since my return to the White House, we've made more progress toward that goal in one

00:37:05.520 month than occurred in the past three years.

00:37:09.520 And I've spoken with both President Putin and President Zelensky.

00:37:15.240 And again, a lot of good things toward peace are happening, moving it, I think, pretty quickly.

00:37:22.800 Last week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Advisor Michael Walts, and Special Envoy

00:37:30.360 Steve Witkoff conducted successful talks in Saudi Arabia with the delegation from Russia.

00:37:38.140 And I'd like to thank the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

00:37:42.140 And the King and Mohammed — great people — they're really working hard to get this done.

00:37:49.240 Our focus is on achieving a ceasefire as soon as possible, and ultimately a permanent peace.

00:37:56.540 My meeting with President Macron today was another important step forward in that — in

00:38:01.700 that sphere, because he's been very much involved right from the beginning in trying to get it over,

00:38:07.140 and then we're going to get it done.

00:38:08.900 I believe that Emmanuel agrees with me on many of the most important issues.

00:38:12.940 Chief, among them, is this is the right time.

00:38:17.540 It may be the only time.

00:38:18.700 You know, that's a very interesting and horrible situation, and that could evolve into a Third World War.

00:38:26.100 We're not going to let that happen.

00:38:28.100 Should have never started, but it did.

00:38:30.160 And what a mess.

00:38:32.100 What a horrible, bloody mess.

00:38:34.160 I'm also pleased that President Macron agrees that the cost and burden of securing the peace must be borne by the nations of Europe,

00:38:43.720 not alone by the United States.

00:38:45.960 And Europe must take that central role in assuring long-term security of Ukraine, which they want to do.

00:38:53.800 And that's not a very big step.

00:38:55.620 A big step is what's going to happen over the next few weeks.

00:38:59.620 The United States has put up far more aid for Ukraine than any other nation.

00:39:05.380 Hundreds of billions of dollars.

00:39:06.980 We've spent more than 300 billion, and Europe has spent about 100.

00:39:12.620 100 billion, that's a big difference.

00:39:14.380 And at some point, we should equalize.

00:39:18.060 But hopefully, we won't have to worry about that.

00:39:20.380 We have other things happening that maybe take that out of the realm of necessity.

00:39:25.380 And while we've given vast amounts of military aid and money in form of grants,

00:39:30.380 much of Europe's contribution has been economic relief, structured as loans for which they'll be repaid.

00:39:38.380 Like the Europeans, I believe that taxpayers and the United States also deserve to recoup the colossal amounts of money that we've sent. 0.82

00:39:48.880 The previous administration never even thought of that.

00:39:52.380 They didn't think of a lot of things like, why did they let it start in the first place?

00:39:57.380 That is why we must have an agreement with Ukraine on critical minerals and rare earths and various other things as security.

00:40:06.380 And I think that that's happening.

00:40:08.380 I think we've made a lot of progress.

00:40:09.380 I had a report just given to me before walking in that we've made Emmanuel a great deal of progress toward getting there.

00:40:17.380 I've been elected by the American people to restore common sense to Washington and, indeed, to the world.

00:40:26.380 And I believe strongly that it's in the best interest of the United States, the best interest in Europe, the best interest of Ukraine,

00:40:33.380 and, indeed, the best interest of Russia to stop the killing now and bring the world to peace.

00:40:39.380 My administration is making a decisive break with the foreign policy values of the past administration and, frankly, the past.

00:40:48.380 I ran against a very foolish foreign policy establishment, and their recklessness has led to the death of many, many people.

00:40:56.380 Under our administration, we're forging a new path that promotes peace around the world. 0.89

00:41:02.380 And when I left office for the first administration, first term, we had no wars.

00:41:08.380 We had no problems.

00:41:09.380 We didn't have October 7th with Israel.

00:41:11.380 We didn't have Russia and Ukraine going at it.

00:41:14.380 We didn't have the problems in other parts of the Middle East.

00:41:18.380 We didn't have inflation.

00:41:20.380 It was a whole different world.

00:41:22.380 And you know what else?

00:41:24.380 We didn't have millions of people pouring through our borders, many of them criminals released from other nations

00:41:29.380 and put right into our land murderers and drug dealers, gangs.

00:41:35.380 We didn't have any of that.

00:41:37.380 It's a different time.

00:41:38.380 But now we have it, and we're fixing it.

00:41:40.380 We'll fix it all up.

00:41:41.380 We'll get it done as quickly as possible.

00:41:44.380 And we've made a great deal of progress.

00:41:46.380 People are saying it was the best month for a President in our country's history.

00:41:50.380 I hope that's right, but I feel it's right.

00:41:52.380 We've done a lot of things in a very short period of time, four weeks.

00:41:56.380 As I've said before, it's my hope that my greatest legacy, however, will be as a peacemaker and a unifier.

00:42:03.380 I want to bring peace, not war.

00:42:05.380 I thank President Macron for joining us today in this urgent work we're doing.

00:42:12.380 And we have some wonderful people up front right here that have worked so hard.

00:42:16.380 And Steve Whitcoff, thank you very much.

00:42:18.380 And Michael Walz, thank you.

00:42:20.380 Scott, thank you very much.

00:42:21.380 And J.D., thank you.

00:42:23.380 They've really done a job.

00:42:25.380 They've really done a job.

00:42:26.380 They've worked very hard.

00:42:27.380 It's like a real passion to get this war ended.

00:42:31.380 And I'd like to now invite Emmanuel to say a few words, and then we'll take questions.

00:42:38.380 And again, Emmanuel, it's a great honor to have you with us at the White House.

00:42:41.380 Thank you very much.

00:42:42.380 Please.

00:42:43.380 Thank you.

00:42:44.380 Thank you, Mr. President.

00:42:45.380 Thank you, dear Donald Ministers, ladies and gentlemen.

00:42:48.380 I'll be saying a few words in French.

00:42:55.380 Thank you very much, Mr. President, dear Donald, for your hospitality and for this visit.

00:43:01.380 As you mentioned, we have had the opportunity to meet over the past few years.

00:43:06.380 Since your first term, we've been able to discuss matters in Paris and also here at the White House.

00:43:13.380 And it has always been a great joy to do that.

00:43:18.380 And I would like to commend you.

00:43:21.380 And thank you, Mr. President, for extending this friendship to France and taking part in the ceremony at Notre Dame that you mentioned before.

00:43:30.380 It was a great honor for the French people to reopen the cathedral to the rest of the world.

00:43:36.380 And your presence was a testament to that friendship.

00:43:40.380 As the President said, this friendship dates back to the Revolutionary War since the beginning of the United States.

00:43:47.380 And whenever we've needed to, we've been able to come together and be on the right side.

00:43:54.380 We've been able to be united to defend peace and sovereignty.

00:43:58.380 Namely, in the two world wars that marked the 20th century, from Lafayette to Pershing and to the many Americans who landed on Omaha Beach.

00:44:13.380 And we spoke earlier before, and you mentioned that one of those gentlemen was able to visit you here, one of the veterans.

00:44:26.380 This is part of history, which puts us in the world that we are in today.

00:44:33.380 And as the President just said, there are many challenges in this world.

00:44:37.380 And over the past few days, we have one main objective, which is the geopolitical situation.

00:44:46.380 Mr. President, I really wish to thank you for making changes to your schedule to meet with us so quickly.

00:44:56.380 I think we've made very substantive steps forward during our discussions.

00:45:02.380 And this is a major step in what we're experiencing today.

00:45:07.380 We had a video conference with all of the G7 leaders, which was an opportunity for us to discuss this matter three days after the Russian war in Ukraine,

00:45:19.380 and to express our support for President Zelensky to the Ukrainian people,

00:45:25.380 but also to speak and share about our desire for a lasting peace.

00:45:31.380 This is what we have spoken about very forcibly over the past few weeks.

00:45:38.380 We thought that this war was only going to last a few weeks when it broke out in 2022.

00:45:45.380 We admire greatly the courage of the Ukrainian people.

00:45:49.380 And, Mr. President, I wish to thank you for this.

00:45:52.380 You mentioned that there are responsibilities on Europe's side.

00:46:00.380 And indeed, we have invested $128 billion in aid to Ukraine and the Ukrainians.

00:46:08.380 Ukraine has been able to hold the front of our collective security.

00:46:13.380 It's fought over these past few years for its independence and for its sovereignty,

00:46:18.380 but also for our collective security.

00:46:20.380 Because I think that no one in this room wants to live in a world where it's the law of the strongest

00:46:27.380 and international borders can be violated from one day to the next by anyone.

00:46:33.380 Over the past few hours, and as you mentioned this, Mr. President,

00:46:38.380 we've been able to see a few things take shape.

00:46:41.380 First of all, allow me to commend you on your decision to work with President Zelensky

00:46:47.380 and to conclude this agreement that's so important for the U.S. and Ukraine on rare earths, critical minerals,

00:46:54.380 but also having substantive conversations with President Zelensky during this key phase of achieving this deal,

00:47:03.380 which is a major commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty, and I think that's very commendable.

00:47:09.380 We also have a shared desire to build peace.

00:47:18.380 We will have this responsibility.

00:47:21.380 This is 10 years after the war started in Crimea.

00:47:24.380 And then we saw the events in the Donbas region and along the northern part of the country.

00:47:31.380 We want to save lives.

00:47:33.380 We want to bring prisoners back and bring back families and children because there's also humanitarian tragedy affecting the Ukrainian people.

00:47:42.380 We had lengthy discussions with the President, and we spoke about our desire to bring an end to conflicts,

00:47:51.380 to have a truce that is measurable, verifiable, and that enables negotiation of a lasting peace.

00:47:59.380 What we will discuss not only Ukraine's reconstruction, its territories, but also the security guarantees,

00:48:06.380 meaning maintaining peace over the long term.

00:48:10.380 As I said to the President, we've experienced peace accords that were only ceasefires without ensuring security guarantees, Minsk 1 and 2.

00:48:21.380 And we want to make sure this doesn't happen again.

00:48:23.380 And I know that the President has expressed the desire to be a player for peace in the region.

00:48:31.380 I've spoken with some 30 European leaders and allies in recent days.

00:48:37.380 We want to bring together these allies, rather, and share the same vision.

00:48:43.380 This peace must not mean a surrender of Ukraine.

00:48:47.380 It must not mean a ceasefire without guarantees.

00:48:50.380 This peace must allow for Ukrainian sovereignty and allow Ukraine to negotiate with other stakeholders regarding the issues that affects it, rather.

00:49:02.380 But it is also a country in which we need to shoulder our responsibilities so that we ensure security and stability for Ukraine and for the entire region.

00:49:12.380 And for us Europeans, this is an existential issue.

00:49:16.380 We also spoke about these issues at length with the President.

00:49:21.380 We've worked with President Zelenskyy and gotten to some of the details of the various phases of the negotiation.

00:49:29.380 And we've also been able to speak about some of this work with our British partners to talk about deployments of peace forces on Ukrainian soil,

00:49:43.380 which are part of these security guarantees.

00:49:46.380 Other countries are ready to join in this effort.

00:49:50.380 Solidarity and support from the U.S. will be crucial to this.

00:49:53.380 And I thank you, Mr. President, for beginning to work with us on this issue.

00:49:58.380 And the agreement that you are preparing to sign with Ukraine and with all these discussions we've had are very solid guarantees that we are understood,

00:50:10.380 that we have the same wish, peace as soon as possible, lasting, solid peace for everyone.

00:50:17.380 And the renewal of an international situation where we are all able to shoulder our responsibilities,

00:50:26.380 Europeans shouldering their responsibilities alongside their American allies who will shoulder their own responsibilities.

00:50:32.380 I also wanted to be very clear, Mr. President, about Europe's commitment.

00:50:38.380 We have committed to building a lasting peace.

00:50:41.380 As Europeans, we have committed to being stakeholders in these security guarantees.

00:50:49.380 And we are also well aware that Europeans need to do more for security in Europe, for defense in Europe,

00:50:59.380 and to more fairly share the security burden that your country has been carrying for so many years.

00:51:06.380 Mr. President, you know how much friendship I show towards you and I have towards you since your first term.

00:51:15.380 Europe is very clear-eyed about this.

00:51:18.380 We know what we need to do as Europeans given the threats surrounding us and the responsibilities that we must shoulder.

00:51:26.380 We spoke about the Versailles agenda, which allowed the Europeans to take a historic step and increase their investments.

00:51:36.380 Europeans are ready to do even more and to go even farther.

00:51:41.380 And several leaders said that to me before I came here to meet you.

00:51:45.380 Mr. President, dear Donald, you spoke about this peace through strength.

00:51:51.380 We fully share that because we must recognize the sacrifices made by the Ukrainian people and what we owe to them.

00:52:00.380 The President and I also spoke about economic matters and our desire to see more prosperity in the United States and in Europe.

00:52:10.380 We had discussions which will be carried on by our teams, our ministers and secretaries to flesh out some of those ideas.

00:52:18.380 But the idea is to have fair competition and no bias within competition between our industries.

00:52:29.380 Now, the American and European economies are extremely intertwined.

00:52:37.380 We have some 1.5 billion in trade, a trillion rather, in goods and services.

00:52:48.380 And I know you've spoken about wanting to look at the balance of payments.

00:52:52.380 We also have a trade deficit.

00:52:55.380 And I know that we need to look not only at goods but also digital items and goods which you export.

00:53:06.380 And we want to make a sincere commitment towards fair competition where we have smooth trade and more investments.

00:53:16.380 Because you already invest a great deal in France, and France is the fifth largest investor in the United States.

00:53:25.380 And I would like to recognize here all of the American investors who announced investments, some $120 billion that were announced at the AI summit.

00:53:39.380 This is our wish.

00:53:41.380 This is our wish.

00:53:42.380 We want to have more prosperity on both sides of the Atlantic.

00:53:45.380 We have a shared agenda in that regard.

00:53:48.380 We also spoke about the Middle East, among other subjects.

00:53:52.380 And here again, we have the same desire.

00:53:55.380 We don't want to see Iran obtain nuclear weapons.

00:53:58.380 We don't want, or rather, we want an approach with partners in the region that we can trust.

00:54:08.380 Given Iran's nuclear activities, we want to limit its ballistic capabilities and avoid any type of regional destabilization.

00:54:16.380 With respect to Syria and Iraq, we also share the same desire.

00:54:20.380 We don't want to see Islamic terrorist groups resume any of their activities. 0.99

00:54:26.380 Because for some time, our armies have very bravely been engaged in the Gulf, as you have led.

00:54:33.380 And contributions have been significant and helped stability in the region.

00:54:39.380 And I say this with great sincerity.

00:54:43.380 France was affected by a terrorist attack in 2015, which was linked to the terrorist activity in Syria.

00:54:50.380 And we are in that region, at your side, to work for more security.

00:54:56.380 Ladies and gentlemen, we had extremely productive discussions this morning during the conference.

00:55:04.380 And we spoke with our ministers and counselors and advisors.

00:55:08.380 And I wish to say, after speaking with President Trump, I am fully believe that there is a path forward.

00:55:17.380 We share the same beliefs.

00:55:19.380 We know what work needs to be done.

00:55:21.380 And in the weeks to come, we will work on that.

00:55:24.380 Our teams will come together in various formats to make sure that we have this solid, lasting peace with great strength.

00:55:33.380 Mr. President, thank you so much for welcoming me here today.

00:55:39.380 Thank you so much for these productive discussions and for your commitment.

00:55:42.380 Thank you, dear Donald.

00:55:44.380 Thank you very much.

00:55:46.380 Thank you.

00:55:51.380 Okay.

00:55:52.380 Thank you very much.

00:55:53.380 Brian, would you like to ask a question?

00:55:55.380 Go ahead.

00:55:56.380 Mr. President, welcome, President Trump.

00:55:58.380 I just want to touch upon, real quickly, the Harvard poll that came out that had, thank you very much, the Harvard poll that came out, had you up nine-plus points.

00:56:07.380 And all of your agenda that you ran on, you're accomplishing that.

00:56:12.380 You've got the support of the American people, including stopping the war in Ukraine.

00:56:16.380 If you can comment on the latest Harvard poll, I'd appreciate that.

00:56:19.380 Well, I was honored by it.

00:56:20.380 It was a big poll.

00:56:21.380 And it's usually a poll that leans on the other side of things, the other side of the world, so to speak.

00:56:28.380 But the Harvard poll is a respected poll.

00:56:30.380 And it has us not only leading, but leading by a lot and leading on every single issue that we've talked about.

00:56:38.380 And as I said, we've become the party of common sense.

00:56:41.380 And I think that's a very important element now, common sense, because what's happening in the world and even in this country, some of the things that took place, many of them are now canceled and the rest are being canceled as we speak.

00:56:53.380 But we've moved very rapidly and I think very effectively.

00:56:56.380 So I was honored by that poll.

00:56:57.380 Thank you very much.

00:56:58.380 Appreciate it.

00:56:59.380 Go ahead.

00:57:02.380 Please, go ahead.

00:57:04.380 Mr. President, you said before that you would like to see Russia.

00:57:09.380 Yes.

00:57:10.380 Go ahead.

00:57:11.380 Are there any conditions that you want to meet?

00:57:12.380 And your meeting in Saudi Arabia, when you're meeting in Saudi Arabia with President Putin, would that happen regardless of any progress on the Ukrainian side?

00:57:28.380 Yeah, I think the meeting in Saudi Arabia was a fantastic one.

00:57:32.380 We met with the crown prince, who is a fantastic young guy.

00:57:38.380 He's young, but with great imagination and tremendously respected all over the world.

00:57:44.380 And he goes right to the king and the king is incredible.

00:57:48.380 Glad to be friends with both of them very much.

00:57:50.380 And they want to see this ended.

00:57:52.380 And they're going all out to make sure that it is ended.

00:57:55.380 I think Russia, likewise, I've spoken to President Putin and my people are dealing with him constantly and his people in particular.

00:58:07.380 And they want to do something.

00:58:08.380 I mean, that's what I do.

00:58:09.380 I do deals.

00:58:10.380 My whole life is deals.

00:58:11.380 That's all I know is deals.

00:58:12.380 And I know when somebody wants to make it and when somebody doesn't, I will say this before I came here.

00:58:18.380 There was no communication with Russia whatsoever.

00:58:21.380 And Russia wasn't answering calls.

00:58:24.380 They were not talking to anybody.

00:58:25.380 They wouldn't talk to anybody.

00:58:26.380 And people sort of accepted that as being that they want to go forward and just keep going without stop.

00:58:35.380 But when I got here, one of the first calls I made was to President Putin.

00:58:39.380 And we were treated with great respect.

00:58:42.380 And they want to they want to end this war.

00:58:45.380 So that's a big thing because I didn't know if I could say that.

00:58:48.380 But it's a big thing.

00:58:49.380 They want to do it.

00:58:50.380 And the group in the front row that I introduced, they're very all very active in it.

00:58:54.380 And we're working on deals right now, transactions right now.

00:58:58.380 And in particular, the big one is to get the war stopped, whether it's cease fire or direct to an agreement.

00:59:06.380 I'd like to go directly to an agreement, but cease fire will always happen a little bit quicker.

00:59:11.380 And every day you're saving thousands or at least hundreds, but thousands in some cases lives.

00:59:17.380 So we want to see if we can get that done very quickly.

00:59:20.380 Yes, for the president, please.

00:59:24.380 Thank you.

00:59:25.380 Thank you.

00:59:26.380 The correspondent based in Paris.

00:59:29.380 Question for both of you, actually.

00:59:31.380 Mr. Macron, you were one of the last Western leaders to speak to Putin before Ukraine's invasion.

00:59:37.380 What advice, what recommendation could you make to President Trump to make sure that this time you can get strong enough guarantees from Putin to get a peace deal that lasts this time?

00:59:57.380 And Mr. President Trump, what makes you think you can trust Putin in those negotiations? Thank you.

01:00:06.380 Look, I will never give any advice to President Trump.

01:00:10.380 We have friendly and trustful discussions.

01:00:13.380 But my experience with President Putin is the following.

01:00:17.380 Number one, I always think it's good to have discussion with other leaders, and especially when you disagree.

01:00:23.380 I stopped my discussion with President Putin after Butsha and the war crimes because I considered that, I mean, we had nothing to get from him in the time.

01:00:34.380 Now this is a chance.

01:00:35.380 There is a big change because there is a new U.S. administration.

01:00:38.380 So this is a new context.

01:00:40.380 So there is a good reason for President Trump to re-engage with President Putin.

01:00:46.380 But my experience is the following, and I shared it with President Trump and the team.

01:00:52.380 In 2014, our predecessors negotiated peace with President Putin.

01:00:59.380 But because of the lack of guarantees, and especially security guarantees, President Putin violated this peace.

01:01:07.380 And I had several discussions, especially beginning of 2022, several times, seven hours with President Putin.

01:01:15.380 Fifteen days before the launching of the attack, it denied everything.

01:01:24.380 But we didn't have security guarantees.

01:01:27.380 So this is why being strong and having deterrence capacities is the only way to be sure it will be respected.

01:01:36.380 And I insisted on that.

01:01:37.380 And this is why I believe that the U.S. has the capacity to do so.

01:01:44.380 And this is why I think we should never say, I will never send it in boots on the ground because you give a blank check to violate any type of commitment.

01:01:55.380 So I think it's good to have discussion.

01:01:58.380 I think it's useful to have negotiation.

01:02:00.380 I think it's super important to go to the peace.

01:02:04.380 But my strong point was to say, let's try to get something first which can be assessed, checked and verified.

01:02:13.380 And let's be sure that we build sufficient guarantees on the short run.

01:02:18.380 And this is where we are ready to be engaged.

01:02:21.380 As for France, a lot of my European colleagues are ready to be engaged.

01:02:25.380 But we do need this American backup because this is part of the credibility of the security guarantees.

01:02:32.380 And this is our collective deterrence capacity.

01:02:35.380 And I have the feeling that the President has this capacity.

01:02:41.380 I think it's very much to the benefit of Russia to make a deal.

01:02:45.380 And I feel that we'll do that.

01:02:49.380 It is what it is.

01:02:50.380 Again, it's a war that should have never been started.

01:02:53.380 It's a war that would not have been started if I were President.

01:02:56.380 But it did start, and it's at a terrible level where cities are burned down and shot down to the ground.

01:03:04.380 It looks like demolition sites, a whole big pile of demolition sites.

01:03:08.380 And we've got to get it stopped.

01:03:10.380 Too many people, too much agony.

01:03:12.380 The whole culture is destroyed.

01:03:14.380 When you rip down some of those ancient, really ancient or near-ancient buildings, it's so sad to see.

01:03:22.380 But I think it's very much to the benefit of this tremendous distrust on both sides.

01:03:27.380 That's why it's good that I'm coming in now.

01:03:29.380 But I think it's to the very much benefit of Russia to make a deal and to go on with leading Russia in a very positive way.

01:03:40.380 That's what you have to do.

01:03:42.380 But I really believe that he wants to make a deal.

01:03:45.380 I may be wrong, but I believe he wants to make a deal.

01:03:48.380 Yeah, go ahead, please.

01:03:50.380 Mr. President.

01:03:52.380 Mr. President, next week there's a key deadline for your Canada and Mexico tariffs.

01:03:56.380 Mr. President, do you believe those countries have done enough on the border to stop those from taking effect?

01:04:03.380 And for President Macron, I'm wondering if you believe that this critical minerals deal with Ukraine represents a de facto security guarantee by the United States, since the U.S. would have an interest in protecting those reserves in Ukraine. Thank you.

01:04:16.380 Mr. President, we're on time with the tariffs, and it seems like that's moving along very rapidly.

01:04:22.380 We've been mistreated very badly by many countries, not just Canada and Mexico.

01:04:27.380 We've been taken advantage of. 0.50

01:04:29.380 We were led by, in some cases, fools, because anybody that would sign documents like they signed, where they were able to take advantage of the American people, like has happened over the last long period of time, except for a little four-year period that took place four years ago. 0.90

01:04:46.380 But anybody that would agree to allow this to happen to our country should be ashamed of themselves. 0.95

01:04:53.380 No, the tariffs are going forward on time, on schedule.

01:04:59.380 This is an abuse that took place for many, many years.

01:05:03.380 And I'm not even blaming the other countries that did this.

01:05:06.380 I blame our leadership for allowing it to happen.

01:05:09.380 I mean, you know, who can blame them if they made these great deals with the United States, took advantage of the United States on manufacturing, on just about everything, every aspect that you can imagine they took advantage of.

01:05:22.380 I look at some of these agreements, I'd read them at night, and I'd say, who would ever sign a thing like this?

01:05:28.380 Yes.

01:05:29.380 So, the tariffs will go forward, yes.

01:05:31.380 And we're going to make up a lot of territory.

01:05:33.380 We're going to — all we want is reciprocal.

01:05:35.380 We want reciprocity.

01:05:37.380 We want to have the same.

01:05:40.380 So, if somebody charges us, we charge them.

01:05:42.380 It's very simple.

01:05:43.380 But it'll be very good for our country.

01:05:46.380 Our country will be extremely liquid and rich again.

01:05:50.380 Plus, we're doing other things, as you know.

01:05:52.380 We're finding tremendous waste, fraud, and abuse at levels that nobody thought possible.

01:05:58.380 You're seeing what's going on.

01:05:59.380 And that was also part of the Harvard poll.

01:06:02.380 Do you agree with what President Trump is doing with Elon and others that are looking for the waste, fraud, and abuse?

01:06:08.380 And the numbers were staggering.

01:06:11.380 It was like 70 percent to 2 percent.

01:06:14.380 Everybody wants to find out.

01:06:15.380 They don't like it.

01:06:16.380 And, you know, the radical left, or whoever it may be, starts screaming about the Constitution.

01:06:22.380 But it has nothing to do with the Constitution.

01:06:24.380 It has to do with fairness to this country.

01:06:26.380 It has to do with being ripped off.

01:06:28.380 And when you read the things that all of these billions — and I mean many billions, hundreds of billions of dollars have been spent on — that's all you have to do is stand up here and read them.

01:06:39.380 I could stand up all day and read the kind of things where we're spending all of this money.

01:06:43.380 The good news is that when you think of how rich a nation we can be when we get rid of this — you know, sometimes you'll buy a company and you'll see it was really well run.

01:06:53.380 They accounted for every penny.

01:06:56.380 Well, not much you can do there.

01:06:58.380 You got yourself a bad deal.

01:06:59.380 This one is the exact opposite.

01:07:01.380 Tremendous fraud. 0.93

01:07:03.380 Tremendous waste.

01:07:04.380 And when you think of what it is — you know, Elon uses the expression, caring.

01:07:09.380 If we had people that cared — just cared a little bit when they did contracts, when they negotiated with outside vendors for — on behalf of the United States.

01:07:19.380 That's what I'm doing now.

01:07:20.380 I'm negotiating for the people of the United States.

01:07:24.380 So we're doing a great job of it, I will say.

01:07:26.380 We found — it'll be hundreds of billions of dollars of waste and fraud and abuse.

01:07:31.380 Thank you. Please.

01:07:32.380 Look, I think this discussion is a very important one.

01:07:35.380 First, because it's important for the U.S. and it will be a good occasion for a first very important meeting between President Trump and President Zelensky.

01:07:44.380 Second, I think it's — there is a lot of economic upside on both sides.

01:07:50.380 And third, de facto, there is a recognition of Ukrainian sovereignty or recognition of the Ukrainian interests.

01:07:57.380 And this is, de facto, a very important alignment of interests.

01:08:02.380 Now, the security guarantees will be negotiated in due time in a full-fledged package of peace security.

01:08:08.380 But this peace, as it is now written and negotiated, and as this meeting is scheduled, is an important step forward, full-fledged peace agreement.

01:08:22.380 Okay, please. Go ahead.

01:08:27.380 Mr. President Trump.

01:08:29.380 President Trump, President Macron.

01:08:32.380 To make a deal with Putin.

01:08:34.380 So, when you do a deal, it's a win-win deal, what are you giving to him, and what is he going to give you to America?

01:08:43.380 And I was impressed by the way you referred to Notre Dame, and that you were impressed by the reconstruction of Notre Dame.

01:08:50.380 A lot of Americans have sent money to Paris to participate to the reconstruction of Notre Dame.

01:08:57.380 As the President of the United States, are you going to contribute to the reconstruction of Ukraine?

01:09:02.380 And Mr. President Macron.

01:09:05.380 President Macron, what, for you, is the main area of progress in your meeting with President Trump?

01:09:13.380 Can you confirm that there is an agreement to send European peacekeeping troops?

01:09:18.380 Will France participate in that? How many troops? What would they be doing?

01:09:23.380 Would this represent a great danger to send French and European troops to Ukraine?

01:09:28.380 Well, I guess it's a little strange question, because you asked whether or not we're going to, on behalf of the United States, contribute to Ukraine.

01:09:38.380 I mean, we're in there for about $350 billion. I think that's a pretty big contribution.

01:09:43.380 I do appreciate the first part of your question, however, because I think they've done an incredible job with the Cathedral of Notre Dame.

01:09:50.380 I think the President has done. I know he headed it up, and I know how hard he worked.

01:09:56.380 And it took a period of time, but really not a long period of time, considering what that was, so delicate, so beautiful.

01:10:02.380 And I was there, and I saw the work. And I'm very good at construction. I know good construction. I know bad construction. They did a beautiful job.

01:10:10.380 And this man has to be given a lot of credit for that. It's an incredible cathedral. Most people thought it couldn't be saved.

01:10:16.380 And if it was, it would have to be built in a different form. And we didn't want to see a different form. We wanted to see the same form that you built.

01:10:24.380 So I just want to congratulate you. That was an amazing job. I don't think you've gotten enough credit for it. Someday you will. Someday you will.

01:10:34.380 Thank you, Donald. Merci beaucoup.

01:10:37.380 Thank you very much. To go back to your question, today's discussion showed several areas of progress.

01:10:45.380 First, we have been working a great deal with President Zelensky to have a proposal that's acceptable to Ukraine.

01:10:56.380 President Trump has confirmed that he will be meeting with President Zelensky very soon to finalize the agreement on critical minerals and rare earths and to speak together about that matter.

01:11:08.380 That's a very important step forward. The second thing is that during our discussions, we were able to go into some of the details about the proposal that we have just made to have a truce, a peace and be able to measure that and then structure our discussions on that basis.

01:11:29.380 France and several other European countries along with Ukraine are hard at work to build this lasting peace with very specific points, including security guarantees, the territories that belong to Ukraine, the issue of reconstruction, the economy and critical minerals.

01:11:50.380 We've been able to go into the details of those proposals. The third area of progress, which really mark a turning point, is the fact that we were able to talk about the details of the security guarantees.

01:12:05.380 And the President has shown this over the past few days, and he said so a moment ago. We want peace. He wants peace. We want peace swiftly, but we don't want an agreement that is weak.

01:12:18.380 The fact that there are Europeans that are ready to engage to provide for these security guarantees. And now there's a clear American message that the U.S., as an ally, is ready to provide that solidarity for that approach.

01:12:34.380 That's a turning point in my view. And that is one of the great areas of progress that we've made during this trip and during this discussion.

01:12:41.380 When it comes to troops, in the past, a year ago specifically, we saw a reason to talk about sending troops for strategic regions.

01:12:58.380 Today, when we talk about troops, we're talking about sending them in after we've negotiated a lasting peace.

01:13:04.380 And once we have that solid, lasting peace, that's part of an agreement signed by Ukraine, signed by Russia, and for which we will provide the guarantees.

01:13:14.380 Then at that point, and recently France has worked with the UK to provide its contributions. We've worked on plans. We've worked with our militaries, not to go to the front lines, not to go into occupied territories, but as a show of support to show that we have a negotiated peace signed by both sides, and that is a peace we will preserve.

01:13:40.380 So these would be peaceful deployments of troops, not for combat. These would be deployments of an assurance force. They would be limited, but they show solidarity.

01:13:55.380 I've also spoken with all of our allies, and there are European and non-European allies who are ready and willing to take part in that effort.

01:14:02.380 countries have helped Ukraine maintain its military capabilities in terms of the number of soldiers it has, equipment, whereas others have provided logistical support on the ground.

01:14:17.380 The question is whether or in what form the U.S. will contribute, and during our discussions, and during the discussions with Russia, we've understood that this would be acceptable to Russia, and that's a very important area of progress.

01:14:34.380 And that means that in this context, the Europeans will shoulder their part of the burden, their share of the burden. 0.93

01:14:43.380 We have a strong alliance that we've built over the decades. We have our solidarity, and we have deterrence capacities.

01:14:53.380 What does it mean? Would it be dangerous? If there is an agreement signed by Ukraine and Russia, thanks to the efforts of President Trump, and if we provide the guarantees and Russia violates the agreement, then it would be in conflict with everyone who is engaged in the peace process.

01:15:13.380 And that is a change. That was something we did not see in the past. That's not what we saw in 2014. So that is the real change that we're marking. We have this deterrence capacity on the American side.

01:15:27.380 We have the capacity for engagement on the European side, and that's something we're going to continue working on together. It's not dangerous, but it's credible.

01:15:35.380 It's less dangerous than things that could happen in the long term. And I think this is what we need to do to ensure security. And I say this very clearly. We're also talking about security for Europeans.

01:15:49.380 I've been saying this for weeks now. If we do not guarantee the security of this territory within Europe, then how can we guarantee our own security for one and all?

01:16:04.380 We live just 1,500 kilometers from Ukraine. And the Germans and Polish are even closer. So our collective security is important. We need to answer this call for Europeans to be more engaged, and Americans will be there still in solidarity.

01:16:23.380 Europeans are working for their collective security. But I really think this was a turning point today in our discussions.

01:16:29.380 Thank you.

01:16:30.380 Emmanuel, thank you very much. Great job. And it's been wonderful being with you. Say hello to your beautiful wife. And we will see you again soon. We'll be speaking often. We'll get this thing worked out. We're going to get it done. So important. And great job.

01:16:44.380 Thank you.

01:16:45.380 Thank you.

01:16:46.380 Thank you.

01:16:47.380 Thanks.

01:16:48.380 Thank you.

01:16:49.380 Thank you.

01:16:50.380 Thank you.

01:16:59.380 Thank you.

01:17:02.380 Thank you.

01:17:03.380 Thank you.

01:17:07.380 Thank you.

01:17:08.380 Amen.

01:17:09.380 I'll be right back, thank you very soon.

01:17:12.380 Thank you.

01:17:13.380 Thank you.
