| The stage behind me is set for two leaders, but we may only see one. | ||
| President Trump says that he will call off the joint news conference and address the world solo if he feels that Putin isn't ready for peace. | ||
| So far, they've been talking for about two and a half hours. | ||
| A short ride in the president's limousine may be the only one-on-one time for Presidents Trump and Putin after both the U.S. and Russian sides added officials to their meeting. | ||
| Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff joining Trump, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Foreign Affairs Advisor Yuri Ushakov joining Putin. | ||
| The Russians not signaling any willingness to budge on Putin's pursuit of war, instead characterizing the Alaska summit as a chance to explain Russia's worldview. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We know that we have arguments and we have clear positions. | |
| We will explain it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A lot has already been done during the visits of Stephen Witkoff. | |
| But President Trump says he won't be satisfied with anything less than a ceasefire and is ready to address journalists solo and send Putin home if he doesn't get what he wants. | ||
| I want to see a ceasefire rapidly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know if it's going to be today, but I'm not going to be happy if it's not today. | |
| Russia brought along hundreds of businessmen hoping to capitalize on a renewed U.S.-Russia relationship. | ||
| Some say a sign Putin wants to make this summit about anything other than peace. | ||
| President Trump sees it as a good thing, especially as he holds biting secondary sanctions in his back pocket. | ||
| We have the hottest country, and he wants a peace of that because his country is not hot economically. | ||
| In fact, it's the opposite. | ||
| Meantime, Europe is watching. | ||
| Analysts say Putin cannot be trusted to keep any deal, and security guarantees will be key to any post-war picture. | ||
| Trump says U.S. support for that is on the table. | ||
| Trump's main goal is to set the stage for a second summit that would include Ukrainian President Zelensky, where the two sides can get to those issues that Trump says he won't touch today, like land swaps. | ||
| But Zelensky has set a prerequisite for that at a ceasefire. | ||
|
unidentified
|
no no man this is not a good idea Goddamn son of a bitch. | |
| Oh, no, don't my coffee. | ||
| My coffee dispersed. | ||
| I am so angry. | ||
| Dolb. | ||
| Yeah, let's go, baby. | ||
| Here's the live shot. | ||
| Let's freaking go. | ||
| We are ready to rock. | ||
| We are ready to roll. | ||
| We are ready to rip. | ||
| And apparently we have peace. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| There's good news coming out of this thing. | ||
| So we'll see. | ||
| Here's the live shot right now. | ||
| Scott Pressler standing up. | ||
| I don't know how they got Scott Pressler in there. | ||
| How they get Scott. | ||
| How they get Scott all the way up to Alaska. | ||
| Scott Pressler trying to flip Alaska because, oh, my kids, I hear my kids crawl on my shoulders and go like this with my hair. | ||
| So that's what I'm doing. | ||
| In case you're wondering what I'm doing, we get the bass signal from ALX. | ||
| It says, get your asses back to the studio. | ||
| And here we go, both Klein and I. Burning rubber back to the studio. | ||
| And we are locked and ready to go. | ||
| So we got Scott Pressler. | ||
| He should be New Jersey or Pennsylvania, but here he is standing right there. | ||
| Do you want to stand up on live TV. | ||
| There goes Steve Witkoff walking behind. | ||
| Here's your live shot. | ||
| Soon we will have Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump up on stage. | ||
| Now, you can already notice something really funny about the troll here. | ||
| Look at the height of Trump's mic versus Putin's mic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it's like kind of funny. | |
| Well, that's because good old Vladimir is a little bit shorter than Donald Trump. | ||
| If you would climb, please pop my window. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| Now, as you know, what's going to happen here is that we're going to chit-chat about everything that's gone on over the last few hours since we've been live, since we've been live. | ||
| And then we are going to be, I'm going to get cut off the second that we hear that President Trump and Vladimir Putin are walking to the stage, okay? | ||
| So, you can expect us to miss absolutely nothing. | ||
| President Trump has finished a three-hour meeting with Putin, and now we are ready to rock. | ||
| Donald Trump's already been rocking. | ||
| Look at these photos. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| Look at him go. | ||
| President Trump greeted Vladimir Putin with an absolute act of total majesty, a complete power move. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| Vladimir Putin left absolutely jaw on the floor as B2s and F-22 Raptors buzzed his head. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Check this out. | |
| You can tell he's shook. | ||
| You can tell he was like, What is that? | ||
| Do you notice this? | ||
| I'm not going to stop too much, but you notice that he stops. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| He had no idea what was coming. | ||
| Trump kept walking like a boss. | ||
| He had no idea what was coming. | ||
| And Vladimir Putin looks up and just stops and stands there and then turns around and looks around. | ||
| Amazing, amazing alpha move by President Trump. | ||
| Freaking awesome. | ||
| If it was a lib negotiating a PETH deal, then it's like 10 months of planning, 32 morons sitting around a table, nobody saying anything of consequence. | ||
| Then everybody leaving with nothing accomplished. | ||
| They all go out and do whatever, do whatever they do in Zurich, right? | ||
| Like Donald Trump. | ||
| This is Donald Trump planning. | ||
| A peace conference. | ||
| Donald Trump planning a peace conference is like, okay, how about this? | ||
| Let's just YOLO this thing. | ||
| Get in my car and here's some pee. | ||
| Okay, get in my car and peef. | ||
| This is the Donald Trump way. | ||
| Look at him go. | ||
| From like, literally, get in my vehicle. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, we have a little bit of movement. | ||
| It looks like we have that Sergei Lavrov. | ||
| He is the Russian foreign minister. | ||
| He's getting seated right now. | ||
| We still don't have any movement from our dignitaries. | ||
| President Trump and Vladimir Putin. | ||
| Okay, yeah, that's right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| So you can see some of the people, some of the dignitaries being seated here. | ||
| Why don't we punch in and we'll show you? | ||
| You can see there's Stephen Chung. | ||
| There's Pete Eggseth. | ||
| There's Lutnik. | ||
| There's Caroline. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sweet. | |
| Caroline. | ||
| John Ratcliffe is there, the head of the CIA, director of the CIA. | ||
| Okay, so many of the big names and big players getting seated. | ||
| I guess that means that Trump's going to be out very soon. | ||
| So we'll wait and see. | ||
| See the American and Russian flags there together? | ||
| Pursuing peace is the name of this press conference. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And so we Await the world leaders. | |
| There's Marco Rubio popping over. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Steve Witkoff. | ||
| These are the two main negotiators that were with President Trump with this delegation. | ||
| Here's Marco Rubio looking around, hamming it up. | ||
| Hambong for the camera. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| I mean, that means that President Trump and Vladimir Putin will be imminent for sure. | ||
| A live shot, ladies and gentlemen, from the military base in Alaska, where everything went down. | ||
| Donald Trump, a historic mogging, a historic mogging of Vladimir Putin with the military. | ||
| He flew a B-2 bomber over his head and surprised him. | ||
| We're going to pray for peace here. | ||
| I'm going to say, pray for peace. | ||
| This is what you want. | ||
| Blessed are the peacemakers. | ||
| This is what you want. | ||
| Then he forces Putin into his car. | ||
| If you've been following our coverage, then you're up to date. | ||
| We played you the clip of the planes flying over. | ||
| The two men had a handshake, and Putin went in his car, went into Donald Trump's beast, and then they drove off together. | ||
| And that's really the last time we saw him. | ||
| We saw a photo. | ||
| People got photos of them sitting in two chairs, but that's everything. | ||
| You're up to date. | ||
| We're now up to date. | ||
| So we played you the flyover. | ||
| It's awesome. | ||
| We have that from a couple other angles. | ||
| We'll see how long this takes. | ||
| We have that from many other angles we can play for you. | ||
| Donald Trump did the power handshake, as ever. | ||
| And the president of the Russian Federation. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Roaring applause. | ||
| Dear Mr. President, Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen, our negotiations have been held in a constructive atmosphere of mutual respect. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We have very thorough negotiations quite useful. | |
| I would like to thank once again my American counterpart for the proposal to travel out here to Alaska. | ||
| It only makes sense that we've met here because our countries, though separated by the ocean, have close neighbors. | ||
| So when we've met, when I came out of the plane and I've said, good afternoon, dear neighbor, very good to see you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
In good health and to see you alive. | |
| I think that is very neighborly. | ||
| And I think that's some kind words that we can say to each other. | ||
| We're separated by the Strait of Bering, though there are two islands only between the Russian island and the U.S. island. | ||
| They're only four kilometers apart. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're close neighbors, and it's a fact. | |
| It's also important that Alaska has to do with our common heritage, common history between Russia and the U.S. And many positive events have to do with that territory. | ||
| Still, there is tremendous cultural heritage back from the Russian America. | ||
| For example, Orthodox churches and a lot of more than 700 geographical names of Russian origin during the Second World War. | ||
| It was here in Alaska that was the origin of the legendary air bridge for the supply of military aircraft and other equipment under the land lease program. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was a dangerous and treacherous route with a vast emptiness of ice. | |
| However, the pilots of both countries did everything to bring close to the victory. | ||
| They risked their lives and they gave it all for the common victory. | ||
| I was just in the city of Magadan in Russia and there is a memorial there dedicated to the Russian U.S. pilots. | ||
| And there are two flags, the U.S. flag and the Russian flag. | ||
| And I know that here as well, there is such a memorial. | ||
| There is a military burial place several kilometers away from here. | ||
| The Soviet pilots that buried their died during that interest. | ||
| We're thankful to the citizens and the government of the US for carefully taking care of their memory. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think that's very worthy and noble. | |
| We'll always remember other historical examples when our countries defeated common enemies in the spirit of battle radar that supported each other, I'm sure that this heritage will help us rebuild and foster benefit and equal ties at this new stage, even during the hardest country. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We know that there have been summits between Russia and the US for four years for a long time. | |
| This time was very hard for bilateral relations, and let's be frank and fall into the remote point since the Cold War. | ||
| I think that's not benefiting our countries and the world. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We have to amend the situation to move on from the confrontation to dialogue. | |
| And in this case, a personal meeting between the heads of state naturally under the condition of serious and painstaking work is what has been done in general. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Me and President Trump have very good direct contact. | |
| We've spoken multiple times, we spoke frankly on the phone and special envoy of the president, Mr. Wilkins, traveled now to Russia several times. | ||
| Advisors and heads of foreign ministries kept in touch all the time. | ||
| And we know full well that one of the central issues was the situation around Ukraine. | ||
| We see the strive of the administration and President Trump personally to help facilitate the resolution of the Ukrainian conflict and his strive to get to the crux of the matter to understand this history of pressure. | ||
| As I've said, the situation in Ukraine has to do with fundamental threats to our security. | ||
| Moreover, we've always considered the Ukrainian nation, and I've said it multiple times, a brotherly nation, however strange it may sound in this condition. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We have the same roots, and everything that's happening is a tragedy for us and terrible war. | |
| Therefore, the country is sincerely interested in putting an end to it. | ||
| At the same time, we are convinced settlement lasting and long term. | ||
| We need to eliminate all the primary roots, the primary causes of that conflict. | ||
| And you've said it multiple times, to consider all the cheap concerns of Russia and to reinstate a just balance of security in Europe and in the world on the whole. | ||
| And I agree with President Trump, as he has said today, that naturally the security of Ukraine should be ensured as well. | ||
| Naturally, we are prepared to work. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I would like to hope that the agreement that we've reached together will help us bring closer that goal and will pave the path towards peace. | |
| We expect that Kiev and European capitals will perceive that constructively and that they won't forward ranching the words and will not make any attempts to use some backroom dealings to conduct provocations to torpedo the nascent progress. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Incidentally, when the new administration came to power, bilateral trade started to grow. | |
| It's still very symbolic. | ||
| Still, we have a growth of 20%. | ||
|
unidentified
|
As I said, we have a lot of dimensions for the U.S. and Russia's investment and business cooperation has tremendous potential. | |
| Russia and the U.S. can offer each other so much in trade, digital, high-tech, and initiatives. | ||
| And for which we see that cooperation is also very possible in our international context, for example, between the forest of Russia and the West Coast of the U.S. overall, it's very important for our countries to turn the page to go back to common symbolic that not far away from here, Russia and the US so-called international dateline. | ||
| I think you can step over literally from yesterday into tomorrow. | ||
| And I hope that we'll succeed in that in political. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I would like to thank President Trump for our joint work for the well-wishing and trustworthy tone of our conversation. | |
| It's important that both sides are result-oriented, And we see that the President of the U.S. has a very clear idea of what he would like to achieve. | ||
| He sincerely cares about the prosperity of this nation. | ||
| He still understands that Russia has its own national agreements will be a starting point not only for the solution of the Ukrainian issue, but also will help us bring back business-like and pragmatic relations between Russia and the U.S. And in the end, I would like to add one more thing. | ||
| I'd like to remind you that in 2022, during the last contact with the previous administration, I tried to convince my previous American colleague, the situation should not be of no return when it would come to hostilities. | ||
| And I said it quite correctly back then. | ||
| That's a big mistake. | ||
| Today, when President Trump is saying that if he was the president back then, there will be no quite sure that it would indeed be so. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I can confirm that. | |
| I think that overall, me and President Trump have built a very good business-like and trustworthy contact. | ||
| And I have every reason to believe that moving down this path, we can come to the end of the conflict in Ukraine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| Well, thank you very much, Mr. President. | ||
| That was very profound. | ||
| And I will say that I believe we had a very productive meeting. | ||
| There were many, many points that we agreed on. | ||
| Most of them, I would say, a couple of big ones that we haven't quite gotten there, but we've made some headway. | ||
| So there's no deal until there's a deal. | ||
| I will call up NATO in a little while. | ||
| I will call up the various people that I think are appropriate. | ||
| And I'll, of course, call up President Zelensky and tell him about today's meeting. | ||
| It's ultimately up to them. | ||
| They're going to have to agree with what Marco and Steve and some of the great people from the Trump administration who've come here: Scott and John Ratcliffe. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| But we have some of our really great leaders. | ||
| They've been doing a phenomenal job. | ||
| We also have some tremendous Russian business representatives here. | ||
| And I think everybody wants to deal with us. | ||
| We've become the hottest country anywhere in the world in a very short period of time. | ||
| And we look forward to that. | ||
| We look forward to dealing. | ||
| We're going to try and get this over with. | ||
| We really made some great progress today. | ||
| I've always had a fantastic relationship with President Putin, with Vladimir. | ||
| We had many, many tough meetings, good meetings. | ||
| We were interfered with by the Russia-Russia-Russia hoax. | ||
| It made it a little bit tougher to deal with, but he understood it. | ||
| I think he's probably seen things like that during the course of his career. | ||
| He's seen it all, but we had to put up with the Russia-Russia-Russia hoax. | ||
| He knew it was a hoax, and I knew it was a hoax. | ||
| But what was done was very criminal. | ||
| But it made it harder for us to deal as a country in terms of the business and all of the things that we'd like to have dealt with. | ||
| But we'll have a good chance when this is over. | ||
| So, just to put it very quickly, I'm going to start making a few phone calls and tell them what happened. | ||
| But we had an extremely productive meeting, and many points were agreed to. | ||
| There are just a very few that are left. | ||
| Some are not that significant. | ||
| One is probably the most significant, but we have a very good chance of getting there. | ||
| We didn't get there, but we have a very good chance of getting there. | ||
| I would like to thank President Putin and his entire team whose faces, who I know in many cases, otherwise, other than that, whose faces I get to see all the time in the newspapers. | ||
| You're almost as famous as the boss, but especially this one right over here. | ||
| But we had some good meetings over the years, right? | ||
| Good, productive meetings over the years, and we hope to have that in the future. | ||
| But let's do the most productive one right now. | ||
| We're going to stop really five, six, seven thousand, thousands of people a week from being killed. | ||
| And President Putin wants To see that as much as I do. | ||
| So, again, Mr. President, I'd like to thank you very much, and we'll speak to you very soon and probably see you again very soon. | ||
| Thank you very much, Vladimir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Next time in Moscow, oh, that's an interesting one. | |
| I don't know. | ||
| I'll get a little heap on that one, but I could see it possibly happening. | ||
| Thank you very much, Vladimir, and thank you all. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you so much. | |
| No questions? | ||
| No questions. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're not doing questions. | |
| Whoa. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| What an absolute rug pull. | ||
| They brought them all up to Alaska. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They brought the press of the world to Alaska! | |
| *laughter* Justice! | ||
| *laughter* Oh man! | ||
| Just look at their faces. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's so funny. | |
| Oh, is she in front of him? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You brought him to a different continent, practically. | |
| Just to stand there. | ||
| Just to sit there and get the pre-recorded, like, hey, hey, we made an agreement. | ||
| Let me give you the TLDR of the full, because I have the whole transcript in front of me. | ||
| We made an agreement. | ||
| It was amazing. | ||
| Very constructive. | ||
| If Trump was president, there would have been no war. | ||
| Freaking love each other. | ||
| We did some shots of vodka. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| Smoked cigarette. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Anyway, I gotta make a couple phone calls. | |
| You bastards can enjoy your nine-hour trip back to your studio apartment and your cats and your white claw. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Your watermelon white claw. | |
| You losers. | ||
| There isn't send it. | ||
| A historic global rugging of the press. | ||
| Actually, really funny. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Let's roll through some of this stuff off the top of the dome. | ||
| So the big takeaway is that Putin's like, Trump's right. | ||
| If he would precedent, there would have been no war. | ||
| What an unbelievable, unbelievable thing to say. | ||
| That is ripping through my timeline right now. | ||
| Looks like we have, yeah, we have a couple clips coming in, so we'll play them back for you. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| I just can't, I still can't believe it. | ||
| He's like, I had to just travel like a few minutes down the island. | ||
| The crib is only a few minutes from the studio. | ||
| So I just had to go peace out and come over to here. | ||
| All of these, all these liberal, all these left-wing reporters had to travel effectively to Russia. | ||
| Have you ever seen a map of Russia and Alaska? | ||
| Do you know they're separated by like 10 miles? | ||
| You know, it's like nothing. | ||
| You can actually, you can see Russia from your house. | ||
| You're just like, Sarah Palin. | ||
| Anybody remember this? | ||
| I can see Russia from my house. | ||
| She never actually said that. | ||
| SNL skit. | ||
| Nonetheless, you can see Russia from Alaska. | ||
| There are islands that are nearly connected, but continental America in Alaska and Russia are like, dude, I mean, you could row in a canoe from one to the other. | ||
| Anyway, the point is that Trump drags all of the press that hates him all the way up there to the frozen Arctic tundra of this Air Force base. | ||
| Probably a nine, 10-hour trip just to like, just to drop the mic. | ||
| Boom. | ||
| And the mic goes like this. | ||
| And we're loading up the clips right now and we're going to play them for you. | ||
| The mic drop goes like this. | ||
| The big takeaways are: Putin says, we have an agreement. | ||
| We have the structure of the agreement laid out. | ||
| We have peace. | ||
| I want peace. | ||
| It's good to have peace. | ||
| And I want economic relations with the United States. | ||
| The United States is our brethren. | ||
| We fought a war together. | ||
| And we should have a good relationship here. | ||
| Trump said the same thing. | ||
| Yo, unless somebody screws it up, which I got To go get on the phone call with Voldemort. | ||
| But unless the little man-child with no cards screws it up, then we good, is what Trump says. | ||
| Then we good. | ||
| Can you please pop up my window, Klein? | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Unless this guy, unless he screws it up, unless the lollipop guild screws it up, then we good. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| That's the TLDR. | ||
| And again, a huge takeaway that President Trump saying, President Trump saying, listen, the Russia Gate thing has effed with Russian-American relations. | ||
| And Putin saying if Joe Biden wasn't in the White House, if they hadn't stolen the election, then we would have no war right now. | ||
| Trump's right. | ||
| We would have no more. | ||
| I think those are the biggest takeaways from the two of these guys. | ||
| Trump then looking up and down the front of the rows, acknowledging some of the Russian businessmen and some of the, you know, the phalanx of Russian power has pretty much stayed the same for a very long time. | ||
| Donald Trump saying, I know some of you guys, if some business with some of you guys, like, let's just get this thing over with, right? | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| Okay, so here we go. | ||
| The agreement clip. | ||
| This is Trump and Putin saying that they agree on the terms of peace. | ||
| And only like, only a bunch of globalists could like go F it up. | ||
| The two of the men agree on peace. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I would like to hope that the agreement that we've reached together will help us bring closer that goal and will pave the path towards peace in Ukraine. | |
| We expect that Tiev and European capitals will perceive that constructively and that they won't throw a wrench in the works. | ||
| They will not make any attempts to use some backroom dealings to conduct provocations to torpedo the nascent progress. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| He says just don't F bit up. | ||
| Don't F up the nascent progress, the new and fresh progress. | ||
| And then Putin says what I believe to be the biggest takeaway from all of this, which is confirming with Trump, no doubt Trump asked him to say this. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Probably, though. | ||
| Probably, right? | ||
| No doubt. | ||
| He's heard Trump use this line before. | ||
| Maybe he's just saying it to be nicer. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I wasn't there. | ||
| I'm in Florida. | ||
| But I didn't get my ass dragged all the way to Alaska just again. | ||
| Zero questions for the press. | ||
| It's so awesome. | ||
| Such an alpha move. | ||
| Such a power move. | ||
| Here's what Trump says. | ||
| Clearly, Putin has heard Trump say, if I were president, there'd be no war. | ||
| And Putin, either because Trump asked him or because he's heard him say this and know that this is the love language of Donald Trump, or it's just flatly true, said this. | ||
| This is, I think, maybe the biggest news out of all of this. | ||
| To remind you that in 2022, during the last contact with the previous administration, I tried to convince my previous American colleague that the situation should not be brought to the point of no return when it would come to hostilities. | ||
| And I said it quite directly back then. | ||
| That's a big mistake. | ||
| Today, when President Trump is saying that if he was the president back then, there will be no war. | ||
| And I'm quite sure that it would indeed be so. | ||
| I can confirm that. | ||
| I think that overall, me and President Trump have built a very good, business-like, and trustworthy contact. | ||
| Moving down this way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Got him. | |
| We can't come. | ||
| The sooner the better to the end of the conflict in Ukraine. | ||
| Got him. | ||
| Got him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Boom. | |
| Boom. | ||
| How many times did Trump say that? | ||
| There would have been no war. | ||
| There would have been no war. | ||
| And here's Putin straight up being like, nope, there would be no war with this dude. | ||
| My homie was in. | ||
| Some wild thing to say. | ||
| That is the thing that is going to break and has already broken the internet. | ||
| That and also Vladimir Putin saying, we're going to do this conference in Moscow. | ||
| There's only one time that he spoke English. | ||
| Now, we've seen Putin on the tarmac with Trump. | ||
| We've seen him kind of whispering to each other. | ||
| We know that Putin speaks a little bit of English, but it's not great. | ||
| We know Trump, I assume, speaks zero Russian. | ||
| But this is the one time on camera for this entire time. | ||
| They've been together for seven hours. | ||
| The one time on camera, Vladimir Putin speaks English. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Putin wants to see that as much as I do. | ||
| So again, Mr. President, I'd like to thank you very much. | ||
| And we'll speak to you very soon and probably see you again very soon. | ||
| Thank you very much, Vladimir. | ||
|

|
Next time in Moscow. | |
| Oh, that's an interesting one. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'll get a little heat on that one, but I could see it possibly happening. | ||
| Thank you very much, Vladimir. | ||
| And thank you all. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Goodness gracious. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So this is very interesting news breaking over the wires right now. | ||
| So Brett Baer apparently was going to interview Vladimir Putin. | ||
| So Brett Baer and Tucker Carlson. | ||
| They get the Putin interviews, right? | ||
| It's like, so Brett Baer and Vladimir Putin, there was going to be an interview and it all got scrapped because of a massive information blackout that was called by both teams. | ||
| A very good sign. | ||
| What happens when you fight? | ||
| What happens when you fight with like your spouse or whatever, your friends? | ||
| They all go and they go gossip to other friends and they like balkanize, right? | ||
| They go gossip and rip it all up. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| My wife and I, actually, this is a toxic, this is a toxic way to behave. | ||
| You shouldn't do this. | ||
| You should confront directly with your spouse and like talk with them and try not to do that to each other. | ||
| It'll just create more animosity. | ||
| The point is, is that if things go bad, then you go out and you typically like gossip about it. | ||
| You want to talk to the press. | ||
| You want to do interviews. | ||
| You want to try and create more power for your side. | ||
| If things go good in a situation like this, then it's best not to upset the apple cart, as your grandfather would say. | ||
| It's best to lock it all down. | ||
| Why let like an errant quote or statement, why let like a bad question, why let the press corps that are up there that are just going to frothing at the mouth ravenously like ask Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, right? | ||
| Volomor Zolensky, like Volomo Zelensky is probably in the press corps. | ||
| He's probably wearing a Scott Pressler mask. | ||
| He's wearing a Scott Pressler rubber mask and he's like probably there himself trying to ask a question. | ||
| Why let them F it up? | ||
| Makes a lot of sense. | ||
| It'd be so wise. | ||
| Just do a massive information. | ||
| You have a good thing going. | ||
| Do a full information blackout. | ||
| Don't let the press mess with it. | ||
| Don't let people meddle. | ||
| Lock it down and move on. | ||
| So Brett Baer is saying that he had his Putin interview cut because apparently things went so well. | ||
| You understand how that would work, right? | ||
| You understand how that works? | ||
| It's great. | ||
| It's great news. | ||
| Vladimir Putin had a constructive summit and that they are effectively, they're effectively there on the ceasefire deal here from the White House. | ||
| I believe we had a very productive meeting. | ||
| There are in many ways many points that we all agree on. | ||
| There's no deal until there is a deal. | ||
| I will call up NATO and of course I will call up Zelensky. | ||
| I'll tell him about today's meeting. | ||
| We really made some great progress. | ||
| I think we have this clip. | ||
| Pretty sure we do. | ||
| There it is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Boop. | |
| Bop. | ||
| So Trump says, hey, you know what I'm going to do? | ||
| I'm going to get on the phone. | ||
| I'm going to start working. | ||
| I'm going to start heating up. | ||
| I'm going to send a couple heaters. | ||
| And what did I tell you? | ||
| Putin just confirmed the war would have never happened. | ||
| But never happened. | ||
| Just a big shout out to our boy ALX. | ||
| We're going to go follow ALX. | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| You're not following ALX? | ||
| Look at him. | ||
| He's an American supremacist. | ||
| He's the executive producer of this program. | ||
| The great ALX. | ||
| Get in there and follow ALX. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look at that. | |
| 2,000 subs before he gets to America. | ||
| Get him in there. | ||
| Get him in there. | ||
| Get in there. | ||
| He's at ALX. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Anyway, here's the clip. | ||
| Donald Trump's in. | ||
| I'm going to work the flow. | ||
| I'm going to work the phones. | ||
| We're going to get this peace deal done. | ||
| I believe we had a very productive meeting. | ||
| There were many, many points that we Agreed on, most of them, I would say, a couple of big ones that we haven't quite got there, but we've made some headway. | ||
| So there's no deal until there's a deal. | ||
| I will call up NATO in a little while. | ||
| I will call up the various people that I think are appropriate. | ||
| And I'll, of course, call up President Zelensky and tell him about today's meeting. | ||
| It's ultimately up to them. | ||
| They're going to have to agree with what Marco and Steve and some of the great people from the Trump administration who've come here, Scott and John Radcliffe. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Please, let's go to the next one. | ||
| President Trump on the phone calls. | ||
| To put it very quickly, I'm going to start making a few phone calls and tell them what happened. | ||
| But we had an extremely productive meeting, and many points were agreed to. | ||
| There are just a very few that are left. | ||
| Some are not that significant. | ||
| One is probably the most significant. | ||
| But we have a very good chance of getting there. | ||
| We didn't get there, but we have a very good chance of getting there. | ||
| I would like to thank President Putin and his entire team whose faces, who I know in many cases, otherwise, other than that, whose faces I get to see all the time in the newspapers. | ||
| You're almost as famous as the boss, but especially this one right over here. | ||
| But we had some good meetings over the years, right? | ||
| Good productive meetings over the years, and we hope to have that in the future. | ||
| But let's do the most productive one right now. | ||
| We're going to stop really five, six, seven thousand, thousands of people a week from being killed. | ||
| And President Putin wants to see that as much as I do. | ||
| So again, Mr. President, I'd like to thank you very much. | ||
| And we'll speak to you very soon and probably see you again very soon. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, I just love to see it. | ||
| President Trump is the world's greatest diplomat and peacemaker. | ||
| And an important reminder that you have it directly from Vladimir Putin that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris started the war in Ukraine and probably did so for profit. | ||
| Probably did so for profit. | ||
| Goodness gracious. | ||
| What a photo. | ||
| Just pop on. | ||
| Let's pop on over. | ||
| Just look at some of the songs. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| I used to really like the Kim Jong-un Summit. | ||
| I still think the Kim Jong-un Summit still probably is my all-time favorite, but just some of the photographs out of this. | ||
| This is what peace looks like. | ||
| This is what you want. | ||
| You don't want, you don't want a world where everybody is fighting and where all of our treasure, the end of empires are foreign wars. | ||
| It's not my suggestion. | ||
| It's the absolute verified truth. | ||
| Whether you're talking about Carthage, whether you're talking about Rome, Greek empires, Ottoman empires, any sultan, any king, any princip, every single czar, everyone's empire collapses through foreign adventurism. | ||
| The British Empire and the American Empire will fall the same way. | ||
| And so I am against it. | ||
| You can be strong at home and project strength, and you can be a part of the world. | ||
| You can be creating the world you want to live in through power without engaging in billion and trillion dollar foreign wars that get our kids killed, drains their future, destroys our treasure, our greatest treasure, our human American lives. | ||
| I love this tweet. | ||
| I did a hard repost on this tweet. | ||
| Liberals negotiating a peace deal. | ||
| Six months of planning, big summit in Prague, Geneva, or Doha. | ||
| 32 court eunuchs sit around a table. | ||
| Nothing significant said or accomplished. | ||
| Trump negotiates peace deal. | ||
| One week of planning, YOLO the entire thing, meet at an Air Force base in Putin's backyard, one-on-one man-to-man discussion, fly a B-2 stealth bomber overhead just to flex American power. | ||
| Who is the peacemaker? | ||
| That's exactly what they did, man. | ||
| It's so freaking awesome. | ||
| Look at these clips. | ||
| Let's clip. | ||
| drop booting you have 22 raptors this is what it looks like to have the adults back in charge What's that sound? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, just total space age. | |
| Ah, so cool. | ||
| It's so awesome. | ||
| You see him flying. | ||
| This is just the absolute and total, absolute flex. | ||
| Then look at the power, the power handshake there. | ||
| Donald Trump pulled up the pull, right? | ||
| Classic pull, power handshake. | ||
| Absolutely devastating. | ||
| Man, and then Putin. | ||
| Putin, I love this. | ||
| Putin gets in his car. | ||
| They get in the beast together and ride off alone. | ||
| How cool is that, man? | ||
| Just absolute and total alpha energy. | ||
| Everyone loves it. | ||
| It's just like the, it's how you, well, it's how you do the leader of the free world thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Forgive me, ladies and gentlemen. | |
| Forgive me. | ||
| Okay, here we go. | ||
| Let's go to some of the reactions here, shall we? | ||
| We'll talk through a little bit more about what we got. | ||
| I don't think we'll have any more clips today. | ||
| ALX, what Brett Baer clips should we play? | ||
| Brett Baer did a long interview with President Trump. | ||
| You know, I think the Trump, I think the Brett Baer, Trump-Hillary stuff is pretty funny. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| In fact, did you see that Hillary Clinton yesterday said that if you got this deal done and not capitulate to Putin, that she would nominate you for the Nobel Peace Prize? | ||
|
unidentified
|
If President Trump were the architect of that, I'd nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize. | |
| Well, that was very nice. | ||
| I may have to start liking her again. | ||
| Please don't. | ||
| Please indict her. | ||
| And then get the Peace Prize as well. | ||
| Trump talking about exactly what Vladimir Putin just said. | ||
| So this was on the flight, obviously, before President Trump met with Putin. | ||
| Trump saying, I inherited this mess. | ||
| I inherited this nightmare. | ||
| And Putin just confirmed it. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| These guys, both she and Putin have said things before that they didn't live up to, or they did other things. | ||
| And, you know, when you were campaigning, you said, we can solve this right away, 24 hours. | ||
| You got into it. | ||
| You've explained. | ||
| It's much more complex. | ||
| It's tougher, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I thought this would be... | |
| Like Congo was going on. | ||
| This was with Rwanda. | ||
| It was going on for 31 years, and I got it settled. | ||
| We have a case with, take a look at Cambodia. | ||
| Take a look at so many. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And the most difficult ones turned out to be easy. | |
| The easiest one, which should be this one, turned out to be the toughest. | ||
| And that's because of Putin? | ||
| Well, it's because of a lot of things. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's because of personalities that don't get along very well. | |
| I mean, President Zelensky and President Putin did not get along. | ||
| Again, I inherited this. | ||
| I came in. | ||
| I got very angry at people yesterday. | ||
| I came in and I said, what the hell? | ||
| I inherited this mess. | ||
| I inherited a mess from Biden with the economy, with inflation, with high taxes, with so many other things. | ||
| Putin now confirming that Trump's right there. | ||
| And Trump saying, I'm going to do it the way that Reagan did it with Gorbachev. | ||
| This is, I think, going to be, this is our final clip, but this is, I think, a fun interview. | ||
| It's the only interview that Trump's done today. | ||
| So it's worth listening in. | ||
| President Trump saying, just the way that Gorbachev and Reagan figured out peace. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| 1986, Reagan walks away from Reykjavik with Gorbachev. | ||
| And it was a strong moment. | ||
| I mean, you could foresee if it goes down a bad path, you get up and walk away. | ||
| I'm not doing it based on history, based on anything else. | ||
| I'm doing it based on a deal. | ||
| If we make a deal, great. | ||
| If I see that there's no hope of making a deal, I'm out of there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's over. | |
| I'm out of there. | ||
| This isn't my war. | ||
| This is Biden's war. | ||
| This is Biden screwed this up. | ||
| Just like he did with Afghanistan with that horrible retreat and the way he did it. | ||
| I'll never forget it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That was the most embarrassing day in the history of our country. | |
| Correct. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, this is Biden's war, too. | |
| This is a war that should have never happened. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I saw it for four years, it didn't happen. | |
| And I understand, Putin. | ||
| It was the apple of his eye. | ||
| Ukraine was the apple of his eye. | ||
| It was no way he was going to move on it. | ||
| I'll tell you, you know, you have a very similar thing with President Xi of China and Taiwan. | ||
| But I don't believe there's any way it's going to happen as long as I'm here. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| He told me, I will never do it as long as you're president. | ||
| President Xi told me that. | ||
| And I said, well, I appreciate that. | ||
| But he also said, but I am very patient, and China is very patient. | ||
| Say, well, that's up to you, but it better not happen now. | ||
| I don't know how else to tell you, man. | ||
| Like, if Vladimir Putin is walking away from this thing, saying you need to come to Moscow and saying it in English, which is the first time that Vladimir Putin has spoken in English in, I don't know. | ||
| What was the last time you heard Putin speak in English? | ||
| You do that clip just one more time. | ||
| We're going to end on this one. | ||
| I mean, look at the difference. | ||
| Look at the difference in this. | ||
| I'm going to do something like fun just to show you exactly how excellent this has all gone. | ||
| I want to ask you, like, I want to ask you, do you see the difference between this clip right here? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Even you, but you have nice ocean and don't feel now, but you will feel it in the future. | |
| God bless. | ||
| You don't know that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
God bless. | |
| God bless. | ||
| You will not. | ||
| Don't tell us what we're going to feel. | ||
| We're trying to solve a problem. | ||
| Don't tell us what we're going to feel. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm not telling you. | |
| Because you're in no position to dictate that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Remember this. | |
| You're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel. | ||
| We're going to feel very good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're going to feel very good and very strong. | |
| You're right now not in a very good position. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You've allowed yourself to be in a very bad position and he happens to be right about it. | |
| From the very beginning of the war, you're not in a good position. | ||
| You don't have the cards right now. | ||
| With us, you start having cards. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're playing cards. | |
| Right now, you don't wear your plates. | ||
| I don't wear a cedar. | ||
| You're gambling with the lives of millions of people. | ||
| You're gambling with World War III. | ||
| You're gambling with World War III. | ||
| And what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm not sure what you're saying. | |
| It's valuable far more than a lot of people say they should have. | ||
| Now, a reminder that Trump walked out of this meeting. | ||
| This is just a minute clip of a 13 and a half minute gutting that happened to Voldemort when he was in the White House, one of the first meetings that President Trump took. | ||
| Have you tried saying thank you? | ||
| Some of the most famous lines, actually, some of the most famous memes of the Trump era spawned in this exact moment. | ||
| You don't have the cards, President Trump says. | ||
| What a petulant little rat Zelensky is, by the way, in the way that he talks and speaks. | ||
| Notice the slight difference between this actor, right? | ||
| He's just an actor. | ||
| That's what he does. | ||
| He's a professional TV guy. | ||
| He's a famous actor in Ukraine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's it. | |
| That's all he did. | ||
| That's all he ever did. | ||
| That's why he was chosen for this central casting. | ||
| Notice the difference between that and this. | ||
| Putin wants to see that as much as I do. | ||
| So again, Mr. President, I'd like to thank you very much. | ||
| And we'll speak to you very soon and probably see you again very soon. | ||
| Thank you very much, Vladimir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And next time in Moscow. | |
| Oh, that's an interesting one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| I'll get a little heat on that one, but I could see it possibly happening. | ||
| Thank you very much, Vladimir. | ||
| And thank you all. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Notice the difference. | ||
| The difference is that one wants to make peace, one wants to make war. | ||
| Like, I don't know. | ||
| Like, what do I know? | ||
| You know, like, what do I know? | ||
| But all I can tell you is the things they said. | ||
| What they said was that there was a peace agreement that was agreed to in concept. | ||
| They had the skeleton of a peace agreement and they walked away without taking any questions. | ||
| They didn't want to scuttle anything. | ||
| The major warning from both parties, Trump and Putin, the major warning was don't mess it up. | ||
| We're in a really good spot. | ||
| Don't mess it up. | ||
| We're not taking any questions. | ||
| We're not letting any of these people meddle. | ||
| We're not going to let you screw anything. | ||
| Don't mess it up. | ||
| And let's just like, let's get peace. | ||
| Peace. | ||
| An ugly peace is better demonstrably than a hot war. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| And so I have, I mean, Zelensky got kicked out of the White House. | ||
| Just a reminder, they had a lunch planned. | ||
| They marched Zelensky out of the White House, put him in his car, told him to go home. | ||
| They canceled his lunch. | ||
| Apparently, the White House staff were eating the lunch in the hallway. | ||
| That was intended for Zelensky. | ||
| And the difference between this is stark. | ||
| So we'll see. | ||
| I think it's a huge, I think it's a great sign that they didn't take questions, as entertaining as it might have been. | ||
| And I think it's a great sign that Trump just said, hey, I'm going to get on the phones. | ||
| And now we're going to make it work. | ||
| I mean, they didn't really show their cards to use that as, you know, sort of a metaphor for all this. | ||
| But I think you can discern, you can divine quite a few really interesting things from how they've gone about this. | ||
| And what does this mean? | ||
| Peace. | ||
| That's what we pray for. | ||
| Peace. | ||
| Peace, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| That's what we want. | ||
| Peace through strength. | ||
| Peace through our great American nation and military. | ||
| This is what they sent overhead. | ||
| This is what they sent over Putin's head. | ||
| This is peace. | ||
| This is how you get peace, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| And so there they are. | ||
| Here it is. | ||
| The massive flyover. | ||
| And hopefully, peace through strength in our time. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, it's always an interesting one. | ||
| You never know. | ||
| Just a big shout out to our production team that is always locked in. | ||
