Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on your Morning show with Michael dil Choonho.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
And the House has passed the six month funding bill
to prevent the government that went I believe two seventeen
to two thirteen. I'm using my photographic memory, so by
four now, that's a tough tougher lift in the United
States Senate. I know that because John Decker told me
that yesterday. John Decker is joining us our White House correspondent,
John five years ago, the White House correspondent, you broke
(00:29):
a story about Donald Trump being nominated for a Nobel
Peace Price.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
You caught up with the person who nominated him.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
He doesn't feel the same way now, does he.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Well, he still describes himself as a big admirer of
Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
He's very much.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
Pro Maga, but he's also very much pro Ukraine and
he would like to.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
See the President provide more support to Ukraine. He won
security guarantees for Ukraine.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
He thinks that will give a further.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Lift to his candidacy for a Nobel Peace Prize. With
the Norwegian committee that ultimately decides who the Peace Prize
winner is. That ceremony takes place December of this year.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
And this Norwegian member.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Of Parliament was a person who nominated it, as you
point out, Michael Donald Trump five years ago for his
work in securing the Abraham Accords.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Which normalized relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah, and then this term we look closer to Marco
Rubio making the announcement yesterday in Saudi Arabia that we've
got the Ukraine portion done, agreeing to a thirty day
ceasefire with Russia.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Now it's on to Moscow.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I don't know how this changes his view that there's
a much bigger story that his particular view. But if
the President can achieve this and finish this peace process
and with it security for Ukraine, might December be our
first glimpse at the President getting that Nobel Peace Prize.
Because I'm wondering how this guy's feeling today compared to
(01:59):
yesterday when you talked to Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
I mean we chat, you know, online, and we keep
up with each other over the course of the past
five years.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Obviously he's pleased.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
That there was some positive developments coming out.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Of Saudi Arabia yesterday.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
But I've said this before, the President said it yesterday.
It takes two to tango. You need Russia to come
to the table. You need Russia to make.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Some compromises, some concessions.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
In the same way that Ukraine made.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Some compromises and concessions yesterday in the meeting that took
place in Jet of Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I know we stick to news and we don't do opinion,
but I don't think this falls under opinion. This is
a tough president to cover because you know, it's kind
of like the Ukraine meeting that everybody in the media said,
now US Ukraine relations are destroyed forever. Well, yesterday is
proved that wasn't true.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
I didn't so, yeah, I didn't think so when that happened.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah, a lot of people, you know, would come to
this conclusion that conversation in the Oval office was uncomfortable
with the media and for everybody to see, would have
been completely normal behind closed doors. A lot of these
negotiations that are happening out loud for all to see
kind of create a roller coaster ride, but it really
doesn't change the outcome. And so you can jump on
(03:12):
a certain day against what's the president doing, why is
he saying it that way? Why is he playing it
this way? But in the end, they tend to work out.
It makes him a tough president to cover.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Well, he is a tough president to cover, you know.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Just bringing it.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Back to what we were talking about, that Norwegian parliament
member said, one of the reasons why the Abraham Accords
were successful is because it was all done behind closed doors,
and he thinks that is something that is instructive for
this conflict in terms of negotiating behind closed doors, not
open to the public, and that way you can get some.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Movement from both sides.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
And we'll see whether the White House takes Christian tibring Jetty,
that parliament member up on that advice that he's given
the president. You know, I was he's very you.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Know, like I said, we we've got a good relationship.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
I got him invited to the Victory Party and Palm
Beach in November. He was at the inauguration. I hooked
him up with that. He's a big fan of Donald Trump.
He just wants to see him provide more support for Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Closing moments with John Decker, a White House correspondent, Yeah,
I'm not bashing him at all, and I'm not really
bashing others. I'm just saying it's a very My guess is,
you know, for some reason, like with the tariffs and
even to some degree with Ukraine, because remember what the
President said of the abundance of the heart. The mouse
speaks that whole exchange with JD. Vans and him, the
President chime did no, I'm glad this is happening for
(04:35):
everybody to see. It's as if he's choosing to do
this stuff in front of everybody and not behind closed
doors for a specific reason, maybe a reason we don't
understand today, but it'll make perfect sense a week from now,
a month from now, who knows, but it is. I
just wanted to just for the record, boy, I've covered
a lot of presidents, You've covered eight as a White
House correspondent. Everybody's got to take a deep breath with
(04:58):
this guy, because some of this is process and method,
not destination.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Yeah, you can't jump to conclusions, you know the day
of I think that some people do that, and they
make the mistake of doing that. You know, even after
that blow up in the Oval Office, I didn't think
that was the end of the possibility of repairing a
relationship between President Trump and Presidents Lynskin. I think we're
moving in that direction actually.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
And now the toughest part getting Russia to agree appreciate it.
John Decker as always.
