Speaker 1 (00:00):
John Deck, our White House correspondent, now joining us to
talk about what's happening with the Ukraine peace deal. It's
getting to be a joke, isn't it. John. You know,
every time we start talking about this, President Trump's saying,
all right, you got to get something done here. We're
out Russia. Knock it off, or we're going to sanction you.
All right, let's go back to the peace talks. And okay,
we good, you know, Vladimir Okay, great, good talks. Take care. Meanwhile,
(00:24):
as they're hanging up, a missile is literally launching through
the skies headed towards Ukraine. So lately he said, you
got fifty days, and you know everybody's thinking fifty days,
how about by you know, this weekend, forty eight hours?
So has there been a change of thought in all this, John.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yes, there has. You know. Two weeks ago I asked
the President. Exactly two weeks ago, I asked the President,
why are you giving fifty more days to Vladimir Putin
to continue to prosecute his war against Ukraine? And the
President wristled when I asked the President that question. But
here we are two weeks later, in the President realizing
fifty days is too much time for Vladimir Pool and
(01:00):
he says, I'm just going to give him an additional
ten to twelve days. That may even be too long,
but ten to twelve days, and if he does not
come to the negotiating table by that time, then tougher
economic sanctions would be imposed upon Russia one hundred percent
trade tariffs in one hundred percent trade tariffs on everyone
(01:21):
of Russia's trading partners, meaning that if you do business
with Russia, you're going to face the one hundred percent
tariff on goods coming into the United States.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Well, I like it these moving the red line closer
instead of pushing it back further like some other administrations
have done in the past. I like that approach, and
I guess the motive Unpresident moving it up like this
is like, look, last time we chatted, you were talking
to me, you know, like you were going to do
something in the positive direction, and immediately you'll warrant again.
(01:51):
So did that irritate the president? You remember the last
phone call? I think he hung up and the missiles
are landing within hours again, or maybe as it was happening,
So I guess he got irritated.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Huh, Well, he did get irritated, you know. And the
President recounting a story, just an anecdote of saying how
he would talk with the First Lady Malania, saying, I
had a good phone call with Vladimir Putin today and
she said, you saw that he just launched a strike
against a nursing home in Ukraine, and that just throve
the president completely crazy. It shows such a lack of
(02:26):
respect for President Trump when the President has what he
would determine as nice conversations with Putin and then hours
later launching these missile strikes, these drone strikes and record
numbers on civilian areas in Ukraine. So the President now
has a new ultimatum for Ukraine. We'll see what kind
of response, if any, comes from Russia. And so look,
(02:49):
I think that this is one of those issues that
is really frustrated the President because he would like to
see peace between Russia and Ukraine, would like to see
peace in this region of the world, and has not
been successful in terms of brokering a piece between those
two countries.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah, I'm with you, John. I think sooner than later
should have been the message to begin with on this.
The war has been going on for over three years now,
and it's like when companies say, all right, we're going
to take ingredients out of our brands to clean food up,
but we're not going to be able to get it
done until three years down the road. Three years.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
What do you think?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
How about this? Stop making it today? How about this, Vladimir,
call your generals and your launcher commanders and say we're done.
Stop right now, no more mass email, group, email group, text,
whatever you got to do, We're done right now, and
then talk about how we finish this whole thing up
and get things cleaned up, and what we do with
(03:43):
tariffs and how we get along again. YadA, YadA, YadA.
I don't know what, what do you need two more
weeks for? I'm kind of you know, with you, John,
I'd give them, you know, until tomorrow, twenty four hours,
and if there's any more going on, then that's it.
We're done. Tariffs are going to go into full effect.
So you mentioned quickly no response yet from the Kremlin.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Well, there's been a response from a very high ranking
former president of Russia who still holds a high position
in Russia. That's Dmichi Medvedev. He essentially dismissed this new
ultimatum coming from President Trump. It's often you know, he's
the bad cop and Putin's a good cop. But in
any case, that's not the kind of response that the
(04:23):
President was hoping for. Again, we haven't seen response directly
from President Putin other than the continued attacks on civilian
areas in Ukraine that happen overnight every day since the
President initially issued this ultimatum.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Well, John, I'll tell you, the President's been listening to
you quite frequently lately and making some decisions based on
going you know what, that's not a bad idea, John, Oh,
we went to the same school. Oh, you're a smart man,
John Decker. So maybe you get the president's here and say, hey,
how about a twelve hour notice and that's it and
we're done. Let's just go ahead and give him the tariffs.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
So all right, I'll see what I can do, jt
He's coming back this evening from Scotland and he'll be
right back at it. A big schedule on tap for
the President, even starting tomorrow after this four day trip
to Scotland. So we'll see what we can do in
terms of influencing the president in some way or another.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
By the way, I am selling squares on a calendar
through the end of the year. If you'd like to
purchase a couple and pick out what day you think
John Decker will leave his post as a reporter and
work for the White House. All right, thank you for
not having me, all right, buddy,
