if you want to be a part of the program, a fascinating development as it relates to what's going on with Ukraine and Russia when Emmanuel Macron was there, Keir Starmer, the British prime minister was at the white house today.
They had an extensive gaggle in the Oval Office.
And uh it was just fascinating.
Uh and in the middle of this, the Prime Minister hands President Trump a letter from King Charles.
Uh I think the first time in history he said it would be that President Trump would be invited for a second state dinner uh to be hosted by the king.
Big deal.
But more importantly, the president goes into great specificity and length about trade and Ukraine and peace in Europe and Russia, and it's really worth listening to every word of it.
So without further ado, uh let's take you back.
This just happening uh earlier today at the White House.
We're gonna be discussing many things today.
We'll be discussing Russia Ukraine, we'll be discussing trade and lots of other uh items, and I think uh we can say that we're gonna be getting along on every one of them.
We've had a tremendous relationship, and frankly, the Prime Minister and I have met twice before, and we we get along very famously as you would say.
And uh I look forward to it very much.
We look forward to the day in the meeting.
We'll be having a luncheon after this, and then uh another work session.
And I believe we're gonna have a press conference at the end.
So I look forward to it.
And uh Mr. Prime Minister, thank you very much.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Can I say thank you for your hospitality, to your leadership?
Um we have met a number of times, we've talked a number of times, um, and we have had a very constructive uh conversation.
I'm sure we will um today.
And of course, our countries have been bound together for a very long time now.
Um, the closest alliance, I think, of any two countries when it comes to prosperity and security.
And I know that together uh we will strengthen that even further.
And uh on issues like Ukraine.
Thank you for changing the conversation to bring about the possibility that now we can have a peace deal and we want to work with you to make sure that peace deal uh is enduring, that it lasts, that it's a deal that goes down as a historic deal that nobody breaches, and we'll work with you uh to make sure that that absolutely happens.
Andrew and Tristan Tate landed in Florida today on a private jet after being released from custody in Romania.
Uh they are accused rapists, human traffickers, uh not thought of uh as good people uh in many circles.
Did your administration the Romanian government to release them?
And if so, I know nothing about that.
Uh I don't know.
You're saying he's on a plane right now.
Yeah, the RBP.
Yeah, I just know nothing about it.
We'll check it out, we'll let you know.
Obviously, this involves um there's an English element here, so it's important for justice is done, and human trafficking is obviously uh to my mind uh uh uh a security uh risk.
And so uh we'll catch up with the story and do you're aware of it.
Are you aware of it?
I didn't know anything about it, yeah.
Mr. 30% of the federal workforce.
Are you tracking how many veterans have been fired so far?
Yes, we are too.
We are and we take good care of our veterans, so we're watching that very carefully, and uh we hope it's gonna be as small a number as possible.
But we are having great success in slimming down our government.
It's been really very successful, and some took payouts and buyouts, and others uh took other things, and some people were finding out don't even exist.
We're finding that we have a lot of people that don't exist that people thought that did uh we Will be making a statement in that, but we're taking care of our veterans.
We love our veterans, we're going to take good care of them.
So, Mr. President, could you be persuaded as part of a peace settlement in Ukraine to provide a backstop security position to the contributions that Europe might make as well?
Well, so uh President Zelensky's coming to see me on Friday, Friday morning, and we'll be signing really a very important agreement for both sides because it's really going to get us into that country.
We'll be working there.
We'll have a lot of people working there.
And so in that sense, it's very good.
It's a backstop, you could say.
I don't think anybody's going to play around if we're there with a lot of workers.
And having to do with rare earths and other things, which we need for our country, and we appreciate it very much.
And I look forward to uh seeing him.
We'll be talking about it, and we'll also be talking about that today with the Prime Minister.
Yeah, I mean, we've uh as you know, we've already indicated that we'll play our full part in making sure that any deal, if there is one, and I hope there is, and I think this is a historic uh moment to make sure it's a lasting deal, and we about have a discussion about uh how we can make that work.
But I have to say this, as I said yesterday.
You know, you're talking about uh peacekeeping force.
We have to make a deal first.
Right now we don't have a deal.
We have Russia, we have Ukraine.
I think we're very well advanced.
Uh I think Russia has been uh acting uh very well.
We have representative Steve Whitkov and Scott and Marco and JD, we're all involved, every one of us, and and a lot more.
Uh but I think we're very well advanced on a deal, but we have not made a deal yet, so I don't like to talk about peacekeeping until we have a deal.
I like to get things done.
I don't want to give it the uh the bad luck sign.
We don't want to do that, but we've had very good talks with Russia, we've had very good talks, as you know, with Ukraine.
Yes, sir.
Mr. President, um, does the Prime Minister have to choose a closer relationship with the EU as he is seeking and a good trade relationship with you?
Which one can you go for?
Well, I think we have just a great relationship.
We actually had a good relationship before.
We've met a couple of times, and I'm very impressed with him, and very impressed with his wife.
I must say, she's a uh a beautiful great woman.
And uh she's I said you're I said you're very lucky.
He's very lucky.
And uh no, I we've had a very good relationship.
He's worried about Britain, potentially undoing some of the benefits of Brexit by seeking a closer time with the EU, who you said was set up.
No, I don't worry about that.
I don't know.
I I thought, you know, frankly, what they did was the right thing at the time, and I think that'll probably prove out over the centuries.
You know, you have a long time to go.
But I think uh I predicted that was going to happen, and it did happen, and it'll work itself out.
It's it's I think it's already worked itself out.
So I'll start, Mr. President.
Keir Stombra's signed the deal to give away the Tagle Sylums to Mauritius.
Will you approve that deal?
Well, we're gonna have some discussions about that very soon, and I have a feeling it's gonna work out very well.
They're talking about a very long-term, yeah, powerful lease, a very strong lease.
Uh about 140 years, actually.
That's a long time.
And uh I think we'll be inclined to go along with your country.
Yeah, I think it's a little bit early.
We have to give me given the details, but it doesn't sound bad.
Yeah, please.
Mr. President, um, you obviously can do business with our Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Uh you said yesterday that the EU was constructed to screw the US when it comes to trade.
What can our Prime Minister say to you to persuade you not to impose Paris on the United Kingdom?
Yeah, did I use the word that you said?
That bad word.
I think so.
I saw it.
Well, I think that the EU, yeah, I've I've had problems with the EU because uh we're not talking about we happen to have a great relationship with you, but we did have, and we do have problems with the EU because they've tariffed tariffed us.
Uh they do it in the form of a VAT tax, which is about 20 percent, and many other taxes.
Uh, they sue our companies, they sued Apple, uh, got 16 or 17 billion dollars, which was I think totally a ridiculous decision.
And uh they're suing Google for a lot of money, they're suing uh a lot of other companies, and we don't like the like the way they're treating our people now.
We don't like the way they're treating our companies.
Uh they sell us cars, we don't sell them cars, they don't take our cars, take our much of our agriculture, and we have a deficit with them of about 350 billion dollars.
So I wouldn't say it's been such a great relationship personally, but other people did because it's politically correct to say that it's been good, but it hasn't been good.
And we're gonna change that, and we are gonna have reciprocal tariffs.
So we're not gonna have terror, we're gonna have reciprocal, whatever they're gonna judge them, which for many years foolishly.
I would have done that, but then all of a sudden we had COVID and we had other things to think about.
So it took me a little while to get that on, and we but we had uh in my first four years, we had the greatest economy in the history of I think the world, but certainly in the history of our country.
I think we're gonna have that again.
But the EU was very, very tough on us in from the standpoint of trade.
Uh then you could take it a step further and go into uh NATO, and that was a very tough situation for us.
I mean, that's been a very tough situation because we were paying a disproportionate share, and uh it wasn't good.
So as you know, they paid hundreds of billions of dollars after I got involved, and they evened it out a little bit, but not very much.
And then if you look at the war, uh we're in for 300 billion dollars plus, and they're in for a hundred billion, they get their money back, and now we'll get our money back also.
But under Biden, you wouldn't have uh done that.
Biden did a a terrible job, I have to say.
I hate to say that about uh somebody that sat here just before me, but he did a terrible, terrible job.
That war should have never happened, the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Uh frankly, October 7th should have never happened.
Israel, that should have never happened.
What happened there should have never inflation should have never happened.
Afghanistan should have never happened, the way they got out, not getting out, but the way they got out.
So uh but I can say that as far as we're here for a different reason.
We're talking about a very different place, and this is some place that I uh I have investments there.
I have uh I own Turnbury, I have a Aberdeen, and I own a great place called Dunebeg in Ireland.
So, you know, I I have uh I have a a great warm spot for your country.
On our trade, obviously it is fair balanced and you've got a bit of a surplus, so we're in a different position there, and obviously we contribute hugely in real relation to Ukraine and take it together with Europe was about 50 percent of the city.
It'll work in.
It'll be so does that mean there won't be any sanctions on the UK then?
Well, I have to take a look.
I mean, we're gonna have a good discussion today, and we have some very talented people on the other side, and we have some people that probably aren't as talented as them, but they're pretty good, Marco.
What do you think?
Our people are and no, we're gonna have a good discussion and we'll be talking about it.
Mr. Starmer uh the Prime Minister has said uh that he believes that Vladimir Putin uh would be at risk of invading Ukraine again without a sufficient backstop.
Do you think that Vladimir Putin would be likely to uh uh invade again in the event of the peace deal?
I don't think so.
I think when we have a deal, it's gonna be the deal.
I don't think if uh if I didn't win the election, I don't think we'd be even talking to Putin right now or anybody else.
I think it would just you know I don't know if you're looking at the stats, but uh thousands of people have been killed a week, soldiers mostly, because the towns have been destroyed.
It's thousands of soldiers.
This was a very bad week, by the way.
I get I get the stats.
And you're talking about a human life.
Number one, I want to see that, and it doesn't involve American soldiers, but it's Russian and Ukrainian soldiers that I can think I think I'm speaking for both.
Yeah, yeah.
Number one, we want to see that stop.
And number two, I want to stop paying the kind of money that we're talking about.
You know, we're helping and we're helping NATO, but we're helping a lot.
More than anybody else by far, and I want that to stop also.
Thank you, sir.
Uh you talked about uh trade tariffs this morning on your safety side.
Just a question about China.
Ten percent tariffs has already been implemented on China.
Are you planning to do it?
This will be an additional ten above.
And is there from the talks with Canada and um Mexico so far?
Are you not seeing the progress that you wanted in order to do that?
I don't see it at all.
No, not on drugs.
Uh we've done a great job.
Uh if you look at Tom Holman, he's been incredible and Christie, they've done a great job in terms of uh the border.
But uh the drugs continue to pour into our country, killing hundreds of thousands of people.
We're losing uh substantially more than our people.
I mean, dead.
They're dead.
Uh the families are destroyed after that happened.
So it's, you know, it's not just that.
That's the ultimate, but uh the families are absolutely destroyed.
Uh, the drugs come in through Mexico, they come a lot of them, not all of them, but a lot of them come from China.
And that's why we did that.
It's 10, it's 10 plus 10.
Okay.
Was there confusion on that?
There was, sir.
Okay.
10 plus 10.
It's a second 10.
And uh I think you'll uh I think you're gonna see eventually you're gonna see drugs stopping because the country should not be allowing those drugs to come into the United States of America, and we're not gonna allow it to happen.
So that goes on on uh the fourth of March, and then on uh the second of April, we have uh reciprocal tariffs that's reciprocal, where we charge countries what they're charging us, and nobody should have a problem with that.
We have reciprocal and we it's reciprocity, it's something that I think uh everybody I've spoken to said that's fair, and it is.
If somebody charges us 25%, we charge them 25%.
If somebody charges us 10 or 15 or 30 or 70, we charge them an exact like amount.
And it's pretty simple, but it's reciprocal tariffs because the United States has been taken advantage of by many, many different countries, uh, including our friends, friend and foe.
And in many cases, our friends took bigger advantage of when you talk about the EU.
We're talking about the EU.
The EU has been really a very bad to us in terms of trade.
And I'm a different kind of a president.
I can't let that happen.
Thank you.
All right, we'll take a break, we'll come back, we'll continue uh in just a minute, more with the Prime Minister of Great Britain and President Trump uh and questions from the uh the state-run legacy media mob.
We'll get to that because it got pretty interesting.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional fast.
You're our kind of people.

Uh all right, back to the uh Oval Office, Donald Trump and the Prime Minister of Great Britain, Keir Starmer, uh, and their well, many pressure from today.
Mr. President, what would you be willing to do if Vladimir Putin did not stick to the terms of any deal on Ukraine if you know what he did not stick to the terms of any deal on Ukraine because he's a history of not sticking to his word when it comes to international feedback?
I think he'll keep his word.
I think I think he's I've spoken to him, I've known him for a long time now.
You know, we had we had to go through the Russian hoax together.
That was not a good thing.
It's not fair.
That was a rigged deal and had nothing to do with Russia.
It was a rigged deal with inside the country, and they had to put up with that too.
They put up with a lot.
It wasn't just us, they had to put up with it with a phony story that was made up.
I've known him for a long time now, and uh I think he will I don't believe he's gonna violate his word.
I don't think he'll be back when we make a deal.
I think the deal's gonna hold.
Now they're gonna have security, you're gonna have security, you're gonna have soldiers.
I know France wants to be there.
He's uh the president has said he wants to have uh soldiers there.
I don't think we're gonna even be necessary, but I don't think there'll be any problem with keeping the deal with the security discussion.
You want to say something?
No, I'm just gonna say, I mean, the deal, if we get it, it's gonna be hugely um important.
I don't think it would have happened if the space hadn't been created for it by yourself.
Um but if there's a deal in, we've got to make sure it's a deal that lasts, um, that is not temporary but lasts, and that's why uh we need to make sure that it's secure, and we've lent in and said we'll play our part, uh and we've talked and we will talk about um how we work with yourself, Mr. President, to ensure that this deal is something which is not violated because it's very important if there is a deal uh we keep it.
And I think I can say that will be the easy part.
That's the part we look forward to, because putting security there, that's the part we all look forward to.
That's easy.
The uh difficult part is getting the deal made.
So but I think we've uh come a long way.
Did you have something else?
He's got such a nice face.
But watch, you'll esque total killer for us.
Yeah, the ones that get you.
No, he looks like a nice guy.
What do you get on most?
What's your common ground with Sir Kirstalma?
Because you're both from different political backgrounds.
That's true.
I think uh I can say this because we've known each other now really for a little while.
This is not our first meeting, as you know.
Uh he loves his country, and so do I. That's our common uh our common theme.
He loves his country and I love our country, and we also have two countries that have gotten along uh for the longest period of time.
Number one ally on each side, and we have good France and Australia.
We have a lot of good ones, but we've had uh a long time relationship, a long time, hundreds of years.
And uh we like each other, frankly, and uh we like each other's country, and we love our country, and I think that's our common thread.
On Terrace, you you just said uh with China.
Who are you with?
Uh I'm with the independent.
Oh, that's good.
Uh it's on Terrace.
You just said the tremendous, you know.
We charge them.
He charged them as we charge China, but the tariffs are paid eventually by American importers and consumers.
No, they're not.
No, I think they're paid for by the country.
But you know, look, we can get into that.
I had I put a lot of tariffs on in my first hearing, and we made tremendous amounts of progress because of those tariffs.
Uh China paid us hundreds of billions of dollars, billions.
We never had a because they took advantage, and President Xi's a friend of mine, but he know he knows better than anybody took advantage of our country.
He took advantage of presidents that didn't know what they were doing.
And uh they expect them.
They actually expect them.
The smart countries expect them from me, because they know me and they know our country, but they got away with uh they got away with murder for for decades, and we just can't let that happen anymore.
Behind you, please.
It sounds as though one of you completely trusts President Putin, and one of you doesn't trust him an inch.
Have I got that right?
And why do you trust him?
Look, you know, it's trust and verify.
Let's call it that.
And I think we both can be that way.
It's you have to verify, because you never know what's gonna happen.
I know uh I know a lot of people that you would say no Chance that they would ever deceive you.
And they're the worst people in the world.
I know others that you would guarantee they would deceive you.
And you know what?
They're 100% honorable, so you never know what you're getting.
No, I have confidence that if we make a deal, it's gonna hold.
Less than one percent of all fentanyl that comes into the U.S. is apprehended at the Canadian border.
So why use fentanyl as a reasonable?
They're only apprehending 10%.
You're right about that, more than that.
But they should be apprehending much more because a lot comes through Canada.
And as uh Mexico gets stronger in terms of the border, it goes up to Canada, and a lot of drugs are coming in through Canada.
We can't have the Mr. President.
Yeah, go ahead, please in the back.
Is there anything you can say tomorrow to President Zelensky to reassure him that his country's war hasn't been in vain and its sovereignty is not gonna be threatened by any deal with that?
Well, you know, he's uh coming.
Uh perhaps he's already on his way, and we're gonna be signing the deal together, probably in front of the media, and we're gonna be having a good conversation.
No, we want to work with him, President Zelensky, Zelensky, she said before.
We want to work with him and we will work with him.
I think uh the president and I actually have had a very good relationship.
It maybe got a little bit testy because we wanted to have a little bit of what the European nations had.
You know, they they get their money back by giving money, we don't get the money back.
Biden made a deal, he put in 350 billion dollars, and I thought it was a very unfair situation.
We're not getting all of ours.
I mean, quite a bit of ours was was was gifted, it was given.
Um blanks, but mainly it was gifted actually.
Mr. President, you're in the you're in this one.
The Europeans want uh Ukraine to be part of NATO as part of this deal.
Are you willing to budge on that at all?
Or is it a further well?
I could be very nice and say, oh, well, we'll work to it.
Look, it's not gonna happen.
It's just not gonna happen.
That's what started this whole thing.
Biden, Biden said that, and and all of a sudden uh the gun started.
Uh that was one of the primary reasons they started.
And this was long before President Putin.
They they never said it.
It was an impossibility.
So we can say, oh, gee, well, we'll try, but it that's something that's just not gonna happen.
And then the other question they ask is about the land.
Will you get your land back?
Well, they've fought long and hard on the land, and you and I will be discussing that, and we're gonna certainly try and get as much as we can back.
But on the NATO, it's just not uh that's not going to happen.
Yeah, but Mr. President, you talked about having common ground with Keir Starmer, but there are things you disagree on as well.
You described Zelensky as a dictator, he describes President Pusin as a dictator.
Do you see that as a problem?
Uh the relationship between uh President Zelensky and President Putin is not a good one.
You've noticed, right?
It's not a good one, it's not a good relationship.
And uh we're gonna have to try and work something out.
Sometimes that happens.
Uh I get along with both.
I have a very good relationship with President Putin.
I think I have a very good relationship with President Zelensky, and now we're, you know, we're doing the deal, and we're gonna be in there.
We're gonna be actually in there, digging digging our hearts out, and uh hopefully uh, you know, we need the rare earth, and we have some here, but we don't have enough.
We're our our economy is very strong, and we need a lot of things that in some cases we don't have here.
So uh I think we're gonna have a very good relationship, but the relationship between them is not the best.
Mr. President, Mr. Zelensky is a dictator.
Um did I say that?
I can't believe I said that.
Next question.
Yeah, please go ahead.
Yeah, so you see any situation where U.S. forces could be deployed as a backstop to the peacekeeping operation in direct confrontation with Russian forces.
Well, there is a backstop, you know.
First, you're gonna have European countries because they're right there.
We're very far away.
We have an ocean between us.
Um but we want to make sure it works.
So I don't know when you say backstop.
You mean a backstop psychologically or militarily or what?
But we are a backstop because we'll be over there, we'll be working in the country.
We're gonna be that's a great thing economically for them because you know, when you talk about economic development, we're gonna have a lot of people over there, so We'll be working in the country.
So I don't I don't I just don't think you're gonna have a problem.
I think when we have an agreement, uh you can say whatever you want about security, who's gonna do it or all that's gonna be a very pleasant conversation.
The hard conversation is will we have an agreement?
And I think the answer is yes.
I think Russia will agree, and I think that I really believe Ukraine will agree also.
So we discussed just to form off the map.
If British troops are in Ukraine keeping the peace and get attacked by Russia, will you come to that, right?
If the British people are in Ukraine and they get attacked, uh you know, I've always found about the British, they don't need much help.
They can take care of themselves very well.
You know what?
No, it sounds like it's evasive, but it's not evasive.
You know, the British are have been incredible soldiers, incredible military, and they can take care of themselves.
But if they need help, I'll always be with the British.
Okay, I'll always be with them.
But they don't need help.
You look at their career, you have done very well over the years, haven't you?
We have, I'm very proud of our country.
And we're but we've also always been uh backing each other up between the two countries.
That is why this is the greatest alliance for prosperity and security.
I think the world's ever seen.
Whenever necessary, we've absolutely backed each other up, and that's something.
Could you take on Russia by yourselves?
Well, one or two more.
Yes, sir.
These remarks at the Munich Security Conference, Vice President Vance condemned free speech violations in the UK, particularly.
Could you respond?
What is your message?
I have an idea.
We have the man right here.
Come on.
Let's go, JD.
Let's we're putting you on stage.
Great.
Uh yeah.
Look, uh, I I said what I said, which is that we do have a of course a special relationship with our friends in the UK and also with some of our European allies, but we also know that there have been infringements on free speech that actually affect not just the British, of course, what the British can do in their own country is up to them, but also affect American technology companies and by extension American citizens.
So that is something that we'll talk about today at lunch.
Thank you.
We've had free speech for a very, very long time in in the United Kingdom, and uh uh and it will last for a very, very long time.
Well, no, I mean I certainly we wouldn't want to reach across US citizens, um, and we don't, and that's absolutely right.
But uh in relation to free speech in the UK.
I'm very proud of our history there.
We discussed this though in August with the Australians and and the Brits were you discussing be discussing AUKUS with the Prime Minister, so what does that mean?
AUKUS, the Australia US uh defense alliance.
So well, we'll be discussing that.
We've had a another great relationship, and you have too with Australia.
Yeah.
We've had a very good relationship with Australia pleasure.
Mr. President, while we have uh the vice president here, um are you both disappointed that uh the AFD uh didn't uh come first in the German elections, uh given your previous support for that?
No, whatever happens with Germany.
Look, uh the relationship has been very strong with Germany, but we'll have to see what happens.
They have a a lot of things going on right now.
We'll have to see.
No, I'm not disappointed about anything.
If anything, you would say that the group that we would be most opposed to lost.
And uh, but we got along with them also.
We have a very good relationship with war groups in Germany.
He was talking about his proposal to use private forces to assist in deportations.
Have you read that proposal?
And do you support it?
No, I haven't seen it.
I don't think it's necessary.
Our people are doing a phenomenal job.
I wouldn't be opposed to it necessarily, but I'd I'd go to our military people and I go to Tom Holman and Christie, I'd go to the various and ask, but um I don't I don't see it as being we're doing unbelievable, unbelievably in getting people out, getting criminals out, people that should have never been here, that the Biden administration with a stupid open border should have never allowed.
They came in from prisons and jails and mental institutions and gang members and drug dealers coming into our country like this.
We're getting them out, and we're doing really well.
