it is primarily funded by saudi arabia and comes on the heels of the country agreeing to host trump and russian president vladimir pittman as they forge ahead with peace talks without ukraine at the table. zelenskyy does not like that one bit. i am john roberts in washington and this will be a big afternoon, sandra. >> sandra: am sandra smith in new york and tensions between president trump and ukrainian president zelenskyy. both taking jabs at each other as president trump claims zelenskyy is a dictator without elections and is more responsible for the ongoing war then he is taking credit for. >> john: in the meantime u.s. and russian officials agree they will appoint "high-level teams to begin working on a path forward to end the work. with that still hold the rift between trump and zelenskyy? >> sandra: mike waltz was part of the talks and he is on deck that first jacqui heinrich. she is lived in miami beach for

us with the latest, hi. >> sandra, the president told me he likes zelenskyy personally coach about personally doesn't matter to him. he cares about getting the job done and he had to zelenskyy for letting the war go on for too long and not taking a deal. he confirmed what we reported yesterday, the u.s. supports ukraine holding elections before any peace deal. that is something russia has been pushing for but the president said this is not a russia thing. this comes from. zelenskyy fired a back this. listen. >> unfortunately, president trump with great respect for him as a leader of the people which we respect very much, the american people constantly support us. unfortunately, lives in a disinformation space. >> zelenskyy took issue with trump with 4% approval rating countering his approval is 57%. president trump respondent

untruth social but this, "he refuses to have elections and very low and ukrainian polls and all he was good at was playing biden with a fatal." zelenskyy better move faster he will not have a country left. i love ukraine, but zelenskyy has done a terrible job and millions have unnecessarily died and so it continues. vice president vance backing him up with this quote, "the idea that zelenskyy will change the president might buy bad mouthing him in public media, that is an atrocious way to deal with the administration." this dispute between trump and zelenskyy a serious turn since the press conference and the present annoyed ukraine sounding up because not invited to initial reset talks with russia and saudi arabia saying ukraine never should have started it and should have made a deal into that mike pence posted on x, "mr. president, ukraine did not start this war. russia had innovation climbing hundreds of thousands of lives

and the road to peace must be built on truth." that statement from the president, ukraine started this across europe, a lot of reaction coming in. in the meantime, president trump is moving ahead. plans are still on the way and still planning on meeting with putin by the end of this month, sandra. speed you jacqui heinrich in florida, jacqui, john. >> john: one of the principles to bring peace to the region and let's bring in mike waltz, national security advisor. great to be with you, mike. let me put up again what trump said on truth social, "valenti said half the money we sent him is missing and he refuses to have elections and he's very low in the ukrainian polls and the only thing he was good at was playing biden like a fiddle a dictator without elections. he better move faster he want to have a country left. zelenskyy wants to keep the gravy train going. i love ukraine go to bed zelenskyy has done a terrible

job and many have died." can you disabuse us of any notion that the president has gone south on zelenskyy? >> well, joan, just to impact that a bit, not everyone has gotten the message that the era of endless grinding war with death and destruction on all sides costing hundreds of billions and costing hundreds of thousands if not millions of lives. to era is over. president trump has been very clear, he plans to bring the war to an end in all sides need to be bought into that. and that i think the frustration is really stand just in the last week from this bizarre pushback and escalation of rhetoric over presentation of what we see as an actual opportunity, and that is to have the united states

invest in ukrainian infrastructure. to have them grow both minerals, natural resources, oil and gas. have to tell you much bigger part of the pie is better than where it seems today. and just as an important subject to that is that we look at the type of europeans don't make a big europeans are providing and often in the form of loans and repaid on sees russian assets. we believe the american taxpayer deserves to recoup much of their investment. all of that is an opportunity for ukraine. they need to see that for what it is. instead, we had this kind of escalating rhetoric and pushback and the president will not tolerate it. >> sandra: they here is the president, mike, glad to have you back on here. here is president trump in his own words in palm beach yesterday. you listen. >> you've been there three years and you should have never

started. >> i like him personally, it is fine, but i don't care about personally. i care about getting the job. you have leadership now has allowed a war to go one that should have never happened. >> sandra: so how should people be interpreting this message? those were his words yesterday. he has since put out that message over at x or twitter as john cho's detailed calling him a dictator. so how should we characterize this relationship? >> it is one that is frustrated right now and is clearly going the wrong direction. but what president trump is focused on is ending the fighting, going to a cease-fire, and having a broader agreement. that started with his call to president hooton last week and immediately had a call with president zelenskyy to have a

turn for diplomacy called shutte diplomacy. i don't think anyone should be really, i don't know criticizing the president for trying to drive this to a diplomatic solution. what he said yesterday and today is, "why hasn't president zelenskyy tried to end this war for the betterment of his country?" we have to ask if ukraine's position is improving or not on the battlefield. thirdly from the european perspective, i got off of the phone with my counterparts from the united kingdom and from france and from germany and said, look, we welcome your up stepping in offering security here. we welcome europe. we have been asking for years for europe to step up and contribute more to not only their defense that ukraine's defense. all of that is happening and that is because president trump is driving this very quickly. some people may not like the

order that it is happening, but you have to talk to both sides to get both sides to the table. that is what we are doing. that is what we did last week. in just a few days ago saudi arabia. >> john: let's talk about saudi arabia and this is mark rubio with early talks towards negotiation. >> we really haven't had much engagement with the russians for three years. it sets the table for future conversations. how that turns out will be up to the party and willingness not just to make commitments but to live by them. that will be tested in the weeks to come here just be when it seems the upshot of arabia, teams to look to negotiations, that is one thing that an actual cease-fire mp still is quite another. in your estimation by the the russians, and myself quite well known to everybody, what are the chances you can actually get ap still? >> john, i think the chances are good. this was a first, positive meeting. but can, it is common sense and

you can't get all sides to the table if you don't talk to both sides initially. that is absolutely what we are doing. we also have general kellogg out and he had right now as we speak. we had seven cabinet officers in the munich talking to european allies and president macron and prime minister starmer at the united kingdom coming to washington next week. so we are engaging all sides and the next step is we will put technical teams forward to start talking more details. but again, just a few months ago, everyone was talking about this war as though it would never end. and just a short amount of time, president trump has everyone, they ukrainian's, the russians, they europeans talking now and debating, that is fine, how it will end. only president trump can drive that ship in conversation and we have to acknowledge that is happening. you will have voices from the

outside saying it will happen this way or that way, but he is the one driving this forward. it was an honor to be with secretary rubio and that very first important discussion with the russians. >> sandra: voices from the outside invoices from the in inside. congressmen, reaction is pouring into what we heard from president trump on zelenskyy. this is senator blumenthal weighing in what he says is bay trail of ukraine moments ago. >> what world is he living in? it is not only contrary to the facts and the truth, but utterly despicable, a disgusting betrayal of the country that has bled and fought and died for freedom. our president has so disregarded the truth and the sacrifice of brave men and women who are upholding their freedom and ours. their fight is our fight.

and the president surrender is pathetic and weak. stated that an earlier today, chuck schumer said the president is siding with a thug like putin. how do you respond to those criticisms? >> well, the president also said he absolutely appreciates and stands with ukrainian people. president trump was, i would remind those senators, the first to arm ukraine when president obama wouldn't years ago. at this war would have never happened with president trump's leadership, why? he would have had deterrence and plays. nobody has a better plan. this is a lot of kind of chirping and criticism from the outside, but what do we have in a week's time? we had both sides saying only you, preside president trump, can drive and end to this war and a lot of same voices demanding ceas cease-fire. gaza and the middle east are now

criticizing how we get to a cease-fire now in europe. i have to tell you, all those voices will quiet down when we get to the cease-fire and we get to a broader deal. >> john: we would certainly like to see the world, and end to this war. it is just the circumstances, rather, michael, good to talk to you. appreciate it. >> thanks, john. ♪ ♪ >> what we are doing here is one of the main functions of the doge team to make sure the president's orders are carried out. if the bureaucracy is finding the will of the people and preventing the president from implementing what the people want, than what we live in is a pure rock to see and not a democracy. >> sandra: doge picked up big legal victory with democrat states to block the departments access to government information. let's bring in texas g.o.p.

congressman pete sessions, cochair of the house doge caucus. please do, give us an update as we have seen so much happening in a short period of time. what do we need to know? >> the update is clearly there is a battle that is taking place, not only in washington, d.c.,, but in the court system. and the inference that we would not do the very best we can, not just with the president that on behalf of the american people who elected president trump to make sure that we got to the bottom of this. so doge is that effort whereby we will look at government efficiency and that is what elon musk is doing. part of that efficiency is that over the overburdening of the american taxpayer on many. so one thing congress does not do very good at because the biden administration did not share with us who is getting the

money. and we will follow the money and we are going to know where it goes. is. is there a context of that, sandra, we need to be able to explain? that is absolutely. so the bottom line is, house republicans will continue to work not just with the administration but on a bipartisan basis with people who want to make sure we let the public see the transparency. >> sandra: what we have seen so far, this is according to doge.gov total saving so far with progress $55 billion and counting and cancel contracts over 101,102.3 million workers in total current weight is $211 billion. i will ask you if this is where you want to see the progress today or maybe a little bit behind her little bit ahead while we play sound from elon musk and the hannity interview last night sharing with us his goals for doge.

listen. >> the overall goal is to try to get out of the deficit. if the deficit is not under control america will go bankrupt. this is very important for people to understand. if an individual over spends, an individual could go bankrupt. >> sandra: so is this where we want to be? are we making progress towards those goals? >> sandra, let's just be quite gaunt about this. doge is about government efficiency. in order to have government efficiency, we needed the opportunity to right size and know what the government/would be. which is why i have from the very beginning and president trump insisted government workers need to come back to work. when they fought him, the unions fought him on that, and he was pretty magnanimous and gave every employee of the government an opportunity, "you may opt out

now and you don't have to come back to work. you will see on the payroll until the end of september." he was spot on that matter. so it caused him to want to double down and say, fine, we will make our own decisions. the size of the government is entirely within an article to, that is the president of the united states. but we have seen with the post office and many other official government agencies added new employees that did not want to come to work. they want to be on the payroll. they want to draw a paycheck, but they were not managed properly. we are going to do this. that is our charge and get ready to stay in tune with this. government efficiency. >> sandra: keep us posted. lofty goals and everybody is watching where this will go and thank you for the update. john. >> john: sank at the cia flying drones over mexico collecting intel to combat

[chanting] >> john: calls are growing louder because they have bullhorns, for new york city mayor adam's removal from office. he is said to appear in court less than an hour for pivotal point on corruption case where federal judge will decide if the justice department can drop the charges against him. with us now kerri urbahn, fox news legal editor and you pointed this out a few moments ago, pam bondi, chief of staff at the justice department put this out on x. for too long at the doj lost its way prosecutorial misconduct and political agendas will no longer be tolerated. the case against mayor adams was one long history of past doj actions that represent grave errors of judgment. this doj is going back to basics." it is pretty rare that you hear something like that. >> from a chief of staff attorney general.

that is interesting. but he makes an interesting case why he thinks the corruption case brought against mayor adams is weak. to win of the points he makes his main justice headquarters belief as the ny was rolling dice here. any time and that statement that any time doj expansive theories of public corruption either reviewed by the supreme court met with skepticism so pragmatically he is looking at this, why are we going to devote thousands of hours to bring a case like this when we have more pressing issues on the agenda. look, this is a with lawyers to disagree over matters but what is lost in this whole debate, john, the person who is currently running for us adams, acting deputy attorney general is former sd and white and knows the office inside and out so not some random person making this

call but somebody who knows the deal and what is going on there. he's doing former colleagues, i k the case is weak and politically motivated. by the way the executive branch. the president's agenda controls and at the end of the day it is our decision. >> john: is not the only one but the democratic city council robber old nun yesterday end. here is what he told us. listen to this. >> what is the alleged conduct? he met with tom homan. he wants to cooperate with the president of the united states, donald trump. that is what the democrats don't like and i am a democrat. but i see it as plain as day here when tom homan appeared with eric adams, mayor adams, on "fox & friends," it hit the fan. >> john: of course, the democrats to throw him over said fred cho went on that quid pro quo and did he drop charges? but mayor adams denied that that happen in indeed, who had the

crime. >> his lawyer said the same thing. he said i was at the meeting and there was no promise of exchange for anything. but there has been discussion, i think, about mayor adams helping with immigration enforcement, but that is basically him complying with the law on the books. this goes back to chief of staff's point where the amount of manpower and hours to bring a case he said is dubious and weak is not worth it. you know, john, this case like so many cases being brought right now, i guess the trump administration obviously not being brought against that the missing that charges. it boils down to separation of powers. people are upset the executive branch gets to decide what happens at the end of the day. elections have consequences. this is a great example of this. prosecutorial discretion is on display here because that is all it is at the end of the date. people may not like it. >> john: what are the chances they say to the doj?

adhere to this guidance, but i do not think trump in his administration handled that very well. and i don't think the courts will uphold. >> sandra: that is the lead they are standing on a, the courts will step in and this is the superintendent statement reacting to trump's dei eo. the legal arguments underpinning the guidance likely to be successfully challenged in court. it is important for districts to remember there is a long drawn-out process for rescinding funding for a failure to comply with civil rights laws. karoline leavitt, the press secretary joined us on this program yesterday. sorry, this was white house press briefing. she was asked about the president's call to abolish the department of education. here is how she responded them. listen. >> look, our education system is failing students in the country appear to the nation's report card i brought up last week and it shows fourth graders are not reading at the level they should. i believe 40% are proficient in

healthy learning or dealing how much our schools have moved away from just the basics of education to help people thrive. >> sandra: you can put this into the pile is he is just moving fast through all of the staff appeared to the nation's report card, this is the latestp dropping and they hit rock bottd drop further. but meanwhile, the focus dei in michigan superintendent michigan state superintendent to find dei threat and while there were a few will take time and dei to support diversity in literature. comprehensive history and instruction and brought her to grow program for students and support staff to become teachers. they take so much time to defy this order, but not to teach the kids. that is where the american public is outraged. >> i think a big problem is to indoctrinate these unhealthy,

un-american ideas. again, it is a total violation of civil rights to teach children by virtue of their skin color, they are locked into something they cannot escape being a victim or oppressor and it is not healthy for the children. it is immoral and it is illegal and they need to think if they want to divide this order and they need to stop violating the civil rights act. >> sandra: they should not just be a red flag but these report cards we see state to state. great to have you, mollie. great to see you. >> want under donald trump and j.d. vance proposals, we would see bands on ibf around the country. >> trump says not only is he opposed to abortion rights, but he is also opposed to contraception. heat as opposed to ibf. >> john: president trump keeping campaign promise as he signs an executive with in vitro fertilization. ahead but they look at the impact on american families. >> sandra: plus

when we obviously started this process after the election we needed a secretary of labor that was pro-labor, we didn't care if it was democrat or republican or independent, we want someone who will work hard on behalf of the american workers and lori chavez-deremer is the best choice, and hopefully will be confirmed. it shouldn't be a controversial confirm, either. >> john: we will see, maybe there is a little bit of republican resistance to her nomination. she was a congresswoman from oregon. she has a pedigree w the unions would appreciate, daughter of a teamsters member, cosponsored the protecting right to organize act, supported gps workers us right to, fought to keep jobs from going overseas. but the one thing senate around paul was hung up on, protecting the right to organize act. that would have potentially seen right to work in states be overturned, so he questioned her on that.

listen to this. >> i fully, fairly support state to want to protect the right to work. i have said that to every senator -- >> you no longer support the aspect that would have overturned state right to work laws? that is a "yes"? >> yes. >> john: what do you think of that? >> that has been senator paul's agenda every chance he gets, he wants to choose national right to work which we do not support at all, we do not support right to work at all. we understand that is in the majority of the states out there, but that proactive, it was never voted on, she supported it a and never voted on, there is an opportunity, i'm working with senators like josho come up with a form of the pro act that may not include that. there has been a lot of talk to if there is an issue of right to work it should be down on the state level, not on a national level. that is the beauty of having conversations with people from

the other side, where you can collaborate and actually find out what works for that state, what doesn't work for it, but more importantly what is going to work for the american worker. >> john: so you support the president's nominee for labor secretary. what is your broader view on what president trump is doing with dojo jet offering buyouts to federal workers. >> not only do we support her appointment, we are going to the mat to make sure she gets confirmed. on a lot of the other issues, look, the president came in, did not come in subtle, that is for sure. >> john: never known him to -- >> a lot of controversy on that. we don't want to see anybody losing their jobs. but he thinks he is within his right. there are court proceedings and ultimately the courts are going to decide what he is doing is lawful or not. i know there is a lot of fat in the government he is trimming, and i don't think people are opposed to that. and look, i tell people all the time, let's take a look at the 101st day and where we
