i think the for one thing we've heard from uh trumps. nominal piece on boy, the retired general kellogg, that the 100 days is out the window. all right, i mean at 1st we run 24 hours in that a 100 days and then they were talking 6 months. and now it's, this is extremely complicated and it may take some time, right? and, and so that's completely out. plus, i think we've received some other signal. trump has made some comments about being in serious discussions already with the russians. the russians say that's not happening, at least not at any high level. there has been no direct phone calls. the only direct communication so far has been that childish a social media post, but i would say that what it appears to be right now is the trump administration is reassessing and realizing how little leverage they have over the situation. and i think that is perhaps one of the most hopeful signs. quiet right now is actually good because it means they're taking a serious look at what's going on. that said, if there's quiet for too long, if russia in the us continue, if boot and then, and trump sti

and then the, the, the most recent beams of you, of given by general kellogg. and he gave with the on fox news that the integrated, the, there's nothing really very much, although then kellogg's face in trauma. the ability um, as a deal lake and he over and over again catalog mentioned this the bread bad. well, you know, trump is the, is a, do you make a, he's a, do you make a those have been charged? everybody knows, at least that's the mythology around trouble, but what is the deal? and that's exactly it, but we haven't had the deal. i mean, fact if you go back to his 1st, um, he really didn't make any deals as of what we have at the moment then is comp, intel are expressing some of you know, great, great optimism that they're there. they're moving towards something, but there's no indication because as, as far as one can understand what, what the drum plan is on the trunk deal is, which is, well, it's freeze the conflict in place. so it's just uh in, you know, in the fighting. now, as it was, sees find out. um, is this now uh, let's, let's put off the, the n

i happened to run into general keith kellogg. kellogg is donald trump's envoy for resolving the ukraine. russia mess. and donald trump had been saying is, you know, that he would solve it in 24 hours. and then trump said, well, maybe it'll take 6 months. general kellogg said it's gonna take me a 100 days. so as you kind of look at it, look at the attention and you have been an advocate for negotiating. seeing negotiations between russia and ukraine as a key piece that needed to move forward. now that it's moving forward, do you worry that donald trump could agree or push a deal that gives russia a green light to expand further in what used to be considered sphere of influence? i don't think that donald trump is going to reach a meaningful agreement with the russians, and i can explain why. and i think the end result is that this war is going to go on. and i think the russians have a vested interest in taking more territory than the for all bloss and crime me or which they've already the next. so i think the, if the in the is what we'll get here is a frozen conflict, not any form of mean

the get integrated the something really very much, although then kellogg's face in trauma. the ability um as a deal lake and he over and over again. uh, catalog mentioned this through. uh, brent bad. well, you know, trump is the, is a, do you make a, he's a, do you make a those have been charged? everybody knows, at least that's the mythology, around travel, but what is the deal? that's exactly it, but we haven't had the deal. i mean, fact if you go back to his 1st, um he really didn't make any deals. and so what we have at the moment then is trump and tell are expressing some of your grade, great optimism that they're there. they're moving towards something, but there's no indication because as, as far as one can understand what, what the trump plan is, or the from the deal is which is, well, it's freeze the conflict in plates. but it's just uh, in, you know, in the fighting. now, as it was, sees find out, um, is this now uh, let's, let's put off the, uh, the nato business, you know, into the. yeah, but it's yours. yeah, that's all unilateral, that's all unilateral. that's

[laughter] i think they are happy to have water. too bad it wasn't two months ago, right? it was a big move. i don't know if you saw the pictures, or pouring down from the pacific northwest. it's pretty amazing the site. [inaudible] >> we will talk about that. he's a good man. >> mark burnett, special

actually the cold lake at keep kellogg seems with that he could possibly be the ukraine on boy, isn't it? i know you're saying that he's playing people off of do you think that some ways of getting the information that he can leverage sanctions on russia has somehow in any deal over the proxy or in russia through ukraine when, when the, as we know rush has done really well out of the sanctions and the only sanctions i understand in the for uranium 2 of us nuclear power stations, that's the only sanction to a trump administration. i mean, clearly that's being seen. is it the all take well around the world as well? i guess you could say that i had the misfortune of doing foreign policy in or in the dc area for a couple of decades. and so i know that it's a circular argument. you know, anyone who speaks outside of the, the sort of generally accepted wisdom is considered, you know, freaks. and that's, that's how it was being there. there are for very few people and they can hurt you if he was, will kill us as a product of that. i mean, he's a product of that know you and he thinks like ev

there are for very few people and they can hurt you if he was kellogg's. the product of that, i mean he's a product of that know you and he thinks like everyone else who thinks in, in, in the but you know, he did this goofy piece with bread flights as an old deal con, old line. neal con, actually worked for john bolton for quite some time. so they came up with this crazy article. i'm sure you remember back in early 24, mid 24, whatever it was about. here's how we can do what we're going to have a we're going to freeze the conflict for a 100 days and you know, and we're going to tell good. and if you don't come to the table, we're going to a sanction you. and we're going to tell you, create a funeral, come to the table, we're going to stop giving new weapons. and here's what's going to happen. it's completely bizarre, completely devoid of reality approach. sadly, it was a good book. that's probably why was accepted inform policy circles in washington. but when you're winning a war, you don't accept the ceasefire. that's just a fact. you know, and when you h

this is coming out from keith kellogg. do you think that don't move from is really aiming to bring peace to ukraine and if so, how do you think that's going to go down without military industrial complex is hugely benefited from this war. in the past, it's 3 years or so. we have tulsa gabbert about to be confirmed and she's very much, you know, i, i met her and was with her at the rage against the war machine. and she spoke very clearly against this proxy war against russia via ukraine. and you have a lot of people surrounding donald trump right now that are pushing for peace. donald trump, himself has said he wanted peace with russia. he said he wants a more positive relationship with vladimir putin and he wants to see america go in that direction. you heard tucker carlson also recently say why is rush hour? and i mean, they shouldn't be our enemy. who said they were, well, you know, who said they were the clintons. why did the clintons that obama administration say that because they were financially benefiting from that

next we have retired general keith kellogg to be your special envoy on russia-ukraine issues. >> we have made a lot of progress on russia, ukraine. we will see what happens. but a lot of progress has been made. we are going to stop that ridiculous more. >> thank you, sir. next, we have designation of richard grinell to be your envoy for special missions. pres. trump: i sent him to california to turn on the water. it was not easy because we had to go through a lot of environmentalists that are causing a lot of problems. we have billions of gallons of water. it was on three days ago, you probably saw it. should have gotten a lot of press but it didn't get much. while we are doing is giving los angeles and the entire state of california virtually unlimited water, which they could've done five years ago, which i told them they should do, but the environmentalist stop them. we opened it and did it regardless of the state. now the state seems to be very happy. i spoke with gavin newsom. he is very happy. i almost called him by the other name, my little nickname for him. i think they were all h

our next guest recently returned from talks in the region, retired lieutenant general keith kellogg servesial enjoy for russia and yuan. inukraine. he joins us now. is this president trump telling the post president of ukraine he needs to move on somewhere? >> when you look at ukraine, the ukraine, russian war, it's in our interest to solve this. president trump said that back in september when president zelenskyy of ukraine came to trtrump tower and said it's important for this to end. look at the amount of money we put in there, $174 billion in thereafter four years, paul kennedy wrote a book, the rise and fall of great powers, he said great powers fail because of strategic overreach. hyou look at the engagement with foreign adversaries. that doesn't necessarily mean enemies, but in the link between russia, china, north korea and iran, we're trying to break that apart as we had during the first trump administration. the only person putin will want to talk to because he's kind of denigrated other leaders that are out there is president trump and president trump's the only one who can brin

progress in negotiation until russia and ukraine sit down and talk to each other certainly general kelloggondition for those negotiations. once a negotiation start hopefully will be able to make real progress. putin has yet to make up his mind the helicopter the negotiating table and president trump want to put pressure on him. maria: really interesting, there is iran developing nuclear missiles debate enter based on north korean designs that can reach europe, the resistance of iran is accusing tehran of expediting the nuclear weapons programs with two facilities rushing to complete a warhead capable of traveling with 1800 miles in a hurry, your reaction. >> what makes our brand very dangerous is the fact that they have ballistic missiles that can reach europe and deliver a nuclear weapon once they're able to weapon isa missiles that is the packet thereon and the issue that we have now we can take them off the path what israel would like to do is kinetically take down the nuclear enterprise in there so precise and with the assistance of the united states or voluntarily get iran to dismantl

and this is why i think this comment around elections from keith kellogg, the russia ukraine envoy ofrump's administration is interesting because he's saying hold elections. now we know that ukraine has put off elections. they're not allowed under the constitution during a time of martial law. plus the not insignificant logistical hurdles right, of 20% of the country being occupied, 7 million or 6 million citizens living outside the country. but but russia has said that it believes that it that these talks would be illegitimate if they involved president zelenskyy, because they have continued to maintain that they don't have beef with the ukrainian people, simply what they call the kyiv regime. and he has ruled out talks in decree with putin. so they're sort of making this complex legal argument. but i think for ukraine, this looks possibly like the trump administration is trying to offer a carrot to russia through this call for elections. and that has certainly raised some nerves in kyiv. >> how, i mean, is zelenskyy's sort of team reacting because there is this narrative, isn't ther
