waltz on these potential checks that you might send out from doge. is there a concern, as you're thinking through this, that they could be inflationary? oh, absolutely not. because imagine if we don't spend government money and we give it back to people, then, you know, if they spend it all, then you're even, but they're probably going to save a lot of it, in which case you're reducing inflation. and also with the government spends a lot. that's what creates inflation. we learned that from joe biden. and so if we reduce government spending then that's, you know, reduces inflation. and if you give people money then they're going to save much of it. and when they save it, then that also reduces demand and reduces inflation. >> okay. >> so you're not worried about it. to follow up on peter's question, you wrote in an op ed in the fall of 2023 that, quote, putin is to blame, certainly like al qaeda was to blame for. 911. do you still feel that way now, or do you share the president's assessment, as he says, ukraine is to blame for the start of this war?

but national security adviser waltz was probably referring to a different deal. this rare earth mineral deal, pushed by the trump administration, which proposes the u.s. taking 50% of ukraine's mineral reserves in exchange for u.s. aid that has already been given to ukraine, which apparently does not offer any guarantee of future assistance. so that's that deal, we think. let's get right to cnn's nick paton walsh in kyiv. and nick. trump sent his russia ukraine envoy to ukraine today to meet with president zelenskyy. tell us more. >> yeah, i mean. >> we don't know much about what happened in that meeting. >> there had. >> been a suggestion that maybe we get a press conference afterwards that appeared to not be the case. apparently, the american side asking for less press availability. we heard from zelenskyy suggesting the meeting had been productive, that it would indeed touch upon it had indeed touched upon that rare earth minerals deal. again, trying to suggest, i think ukraine wants to move forward in finding a compromise there as well. and indeed, they discu

you heard my conversation with colonel waltz about it. you actually started your career in public service at usaid. if you zoom out and show recent polling it shows six in ten americans support cuts in foreign aid. president trump says this is exactly what he campaigned on. how do you respond to that argument of president trump and colonel waltz that this is what the americans voted for people. >> people see diplomacy is important, and it is essential in pairing with our military. we have there pillars when comes to foreign policy, we have defense, policy and diplomacy. this is not charity. this is about our national security. in fact, someone who said that exact line is marco rubio when he was a senator. there's a reason why usaid is at the ronald reagan building because ronald reagan was a strong supporter of this. what we are seeing right now with the trump administration over the last week is just very clearly an american retreat when it comes to the rest of the world. handing this over. china doesn't even need to fight for their infl

but again, it was mostly mike waltz, the national security adviser.ght now to yamiche alcindor at the white house. lots of things he touched on what stood out for you. >> that's right. i mean, i think the thing that stood out was one that this was really a victory lap for the trump administration. they are marking the one month anniversary of president trump coming into office for his second term. it started with stephen miller talking about the president's goals when it came to immigration, and the idea that so many border crossings are down. there, of course, been a lot of critics to those changes, with the latest one being the executive order taking away federal benefits for undocumented immigrants. we should be very clear. most undocumented immigrants don't get any sort of federal benefits. the ones that they do are usually free public education for undocumented children. sometimes they get free legal services. if you're a child, literally like a five year old or an infant that comes here that needs to go through the legal process, you might get a

so the statement has come out from the national security advisor mike waltz. imagine is the president, we just saw and heard from him a moment ago, speaking there with the king of jordan, that we will hear more from the white house shortly. dan, obviously very big news. >> yeah, this is a great bit of news. look, marc was teaching in since 2012. he is a teacher. that is all he was doing. it really does reflect on russia, dictatorship today, vladimir putin, operatives in the kremlin, that is how it works, wrongfully detaining u.s. citizens and getting the best deal possible, the release of viktor bout, the merchant of death who we had to trade to secure brittney griner's release. again, this is a great success. democrats and republicans and american citizens should be celebrating it, and i am sure there is more to come down the road. >> john: yeah, just for clarity, it was august 1st, 2024 that jake sullivan declared tha. so as i mentioned a moment ago, dan, this is an administration that is not given to exchanging high-value targets like viktor bout or tens of

very clear payments are firing tucker, carlson, and there is waltz and ruby. a waltz is national security advisor, and i should say john bolton was on this show the other day as long as having national security advisor. i don't think waltz is going to be as, as a individualist as a, as bolton, but as well. and monica rubio, who i don't know uh, in your atmosphere may launch a full scale or with the sudden image sphere, which has always been his i, i, dear. they're closer to what they. i mean, even before it gets to the pentagon and pete exit every day, i know that the confirmation hearings have been going on with the lieutenant colonel tools he gathered and so on. but wilts is in a very powerful position, and rubio is the secretary of state. he's the blinking figure. yeah. was, is i think the one to be more worried about and will be, i think what's gonna happen to rubio. and it's just, just speculation i'm, i probably get a show about it a few days ago is that he's going to be a very weak secretary of state. he's going to be a figurehead and he's going to be t

it was remarkable, the comments in the headline there from mike waltz, national security advisor, asaine and russia, and at one point he was asked could the president say that ukraine or russia were to blame for the russian invasion in ukraine, and he didn't give an answer to that, which is quite a departure from u.s. foreign policy. what they also announced was that the british prime minister sir keir starmer will be meeting president trump on thursday. emmanuel macron from france will be there on monday. how is it playing in the u.k., and what is the execution of that meeting for sir keir with the president? annita: i think sir keir starmer will try to take the heat out of the language being used until the discussion-- and tilt the discussions back towards what ukraine wants out of any deal. we heard from the british foreign secretary earlier and he was saying if vladimir putin is a series about a long lasting peace, he needs to provide security guarantees. i suspect that will be on the agenda when keir starmer goes to the white house as well. that is going to be a week today, next

he's got a waltz on it. we're waiting for waltz to join us right now. and the three of us will be there to welcome him in the snow. we drove out because nothing is more important than americans and bringing our americans home, and we'll never forget them. >> who is the next american that's coming home? >> well, that's that's going to be a surprise for tomorrow. >> so is it from russia? >> i can't comment on where it's from, but, you know, you'll have patience. you'll see tomorrow. you need other things for the viewers tomorrow too. >> okay. so we'll be waiting to see. i mean, that obviously, you know, we're hearing from we heard from marc fogel mom this morning who said she got a call from him when he was in an airport telling her that he was coming home. an exciting moment. secretary rubio, how directly involved was obviously, this is a decision that president putin makes. how directly involved was he in this in terms of of getting this across the finish line well, i think we all know enough about russia to know that nothing happens there of this magni

in a moment we will ask national secured advisor mike waltz about those talks whether ukraine will havet at the table. but first we've got team coverage take great pal caught in israel danamarie mcnicholl we will begin with you. >> good morning, shannon. european leaders caused called an emergency meeting to talk about trumps vision for ukraine shutting them out of peace negotiations no reaction yet from the president as he has sued the daytona 500 this afternoon. >> and think we are going to be able to do something we are going to be able to make a deal. >> national security advisor mike waltz and secretary marco rubio will meet this week with senior russian officials in saudi arabia. expected to be absent from discussions, ukraine and europe. trump officials have also made it clear they expect european allies and nato to take responsibility for the region. as the u.s. focuses on other priorities. such as securing the border encountering china. >> let's be honest we can't allow the possibility that america might say no to europe on an issue that threaten and progress nato secretary gen

that's why you're seeing, you know, rubio and waltz and whiteoff being dispatched to saudi to talk to the ukrainians and the russians. about ukraine, and i think he thinks that he can work with chairman xi to de-escalate the tension. in my judgment, the best way to do that is through deterrence. you have to get in she's head -- you have to get in xi's head that an invasion of taiwan outweighs the risk outweighs the reward, and you can't do that unless you have full deterrence in the indo pacific. let me, if i point out a few specifics through the aus legislation, and this is basically the united states, uk. and australia working together exempted from itar, which is the international regulations, pillar one, we're already deploying nuclear submarines. >> if we can build them fast enough. >> it takes too long. it doesn't meet the 2027 timeline. however, we do have, we are deploying to the region to australia. that troubles xi. that's the sort of the belly or the beast in the ocean, if you will, the crown jewel, but pillar 2 involves innovation. ai, quantum, innovation in weapons system

a lot of people were caught by surprise, secretary waltz. a little bit about when did you get in the loop on this proposal last night and this idea? were you immediately on board with it? >> hi, martha. actually, this is something that the president has been thinking about quite a bit, even since october 7th. but then special envoy witkoff is traveling and we've had meetings. the first foreign leader he called was the saudi arabia, big abdullah. spoke to the president of egypt on saturday and we had prime minister netanyahu. this didn't -- mainstream media wants to pretend it sprung up overnight. really, this is framed -- it is not the case. this is framed in terms of the hostages that we have coming out. you remember the president's truth there will be all hell to pay. we now see israelis and the first american keith siegel being reunited with their family. cease-fire in place that the biden administration couldn't get without president trump's help. now the discussion last night is let's talk in practical, humane terms about what is going

is that the national security advisor mike waltz is saying that what is level zalesky at least needs to do is to tone it down. that's his exact wording. he says that to exchange and this back and forth, but at least on the part of the ukrainian leader is unacceptable. he also has some words of advice, and that is when it comes to the mineral deal that has been proposed by the united states to pay back to the united states for all of the years that it sent money for ukraine's defense that to it needs to sign that deals something that we know that you pretty and leader is opposed to, but that is something that mike waltz is advising. he do now in terms of these differences that have been going on back and forth, the name calling that we know that of let him is unless he has referred to donald trump is, is being as sort of a refer to him and an unflattering language, saying that he lives in additional information space and donald trump is referred to vitamins. zaleski is a dictator of this. been this back and forth, the bottom line. and all of this is that there's my quotes, believe thi

and mike waltz is someone who has written extensively about this. i was quoting from one op ed that he wrote two years ago, in the fall of 2023, about this, but there are numerous other moments and instances where you can read comments from people like mike waltz or marco rubio, essentially sayi that, yes, putin is obviously to blame for this war, as everyone knows, but it was remarkablto hear him not simply restate that fact that he has said many times there in the briefing room today, but obviously doingo would put him in a point of conflict with the president himsel who is now suggesting repeatedly that it was ukraine at is to blame for this war. d it is ukraine that started this war when we know it was russia that invaded. and the real question that is raised is what that means for ukraine in ese negotiations, because there was never really a lot of love lost for zelenskyy between trump and that administration. but what's so clear now is they are becoming increasiny frustred witzelensy and argug thate is bng doright srespeful tohe adnistraon. i'

he does have people in his administration, marco rubio, mike waltz, among them, who previously thought these were important things. and their public comments backed that. but it doesn't appear that they're moving the president off this this change now. >> no, the people that he appointed to his administration, he wanted to be completely in fealty to him and following him. it also in congress. right. you look at these confirmation votes, people who voted for pete hegseth and tulsi gabbard, who put themselves forward as being very serious about national security issues and taking all these things in real, real depth before, but have voted for people that they have previously been very critical of themselves. lindsey graham, incredibly critical of tulsi gabbard, but voted for her to be the new director of national intelligence. but look, with trump here, i think you have one of four things basically going on. one is possibly what joe said, that he's just doing what putin wants to is that he's actually going at this from a position of weakness, saying, i don't really care, i don't it doesn

what mike waltz just said. let's talk about what we have learned from this very important first meeting that's been happening in riyadh, saudi arabia. joining us right now is the democratic senator from maryland, chris van hollen. he sits on the foreign relations committee. senator, thank you so much for being here. i mean, rubio making clear he's not going to he's not going to really tip his hand or negotiate in public. um, saying today was about beginning to establish lines of communication once again with russia and called it a first step in a long and difficult journey. what do you take from what we just heard from the secretary of state, your former colleague, coming out of this very high stakes meeting with his russian counterparts. >> well, kate, it's great. >> to be. >> with you. >> and i. >> think everybody. >> would like to see a negotiated. sustained peace to the war in ukraine. >> no one more. >> than the ukrainian people. >> i met with president. >> zelenskyy at the munich security. conference just

and it was really interesting to hear when waltz was asked jim, who is more responsible for this war?and he would not commit to an answer. >> yeah. >> and this is mike waltz, who previously was a russia hawk. so he's breaking with his own publicly expressed convictions about this war now. now he works for a president who will not call russia the aggressor, and has been both sides in a war where we should note russia invaded ukraine. so that is the new mantra from the white house. and that appears to be the new approach to the war, which is a is important, not just rhetorically. it's important because that appears to be the way they're approaching these peace talks. if both the invader and the invaded are on equal footing, then it looks like you begin to demand equal concessions from both of them. even though one russia started the war. and that puts zelenskyy in quite a position. >> on that question about equal concessions. there's this new cnn reporting that the u.s. intelligence community doesn't believe that putin is actually going to make any concessions. essentially, he just want

secreretary of ate marco rubio and white house national security advisor mike waltz as well as steve witkoff are heading to saudi arabia right now with meetings, for meetings with russia. now waltz laid out four key priorities, including a permanent end to the war, diplomatic end to the war, economic integration as well as changes to u.s. aid for ukraine. that's key for the trump administration. what's not clear, jessica, is when ukraine and european allies will be invited to join the table. our kristen welker asked ukrainian president zelenskyy about these upcoming russian negotiations. take a listen. >> can you accept any peace deal that is cut without ukraine? >> no. >> do you feel like you have a seat at the table right now? >> i not only count on it, i'm sure that we have to be there. >> jessica, yesterday on cbs, the secretary of state marco rubio seemed to soften the administration's language saying ukraine and europe will be involved. two officials tell nbc news that ukraine was not invited to these talks but said the intention is for the u.s. to host a bilateral meeting with

waltz and rubio both, i'm sure, will be trying to get to trump behind closed doors to explain.on't want to get rolled by this master manipulator. you can't trust him. >> but the recent history of trump, right? is is that, um, first of all, there aren't a lot of folks willing it seems to speak truth to power when it comes to trump, because they look at others who have and they're gone. yeah, right. and trump's attitude in this second administration seems to be, i'm not going to be hemmed in by these mainstream or deep state or old school guys. like he perceives he was during his previous administration. so what is the what is the likely effectiveness, even if if a ruby or a waltz goes to him and says, don't get snowed by putin. >> so this is where witkoff is. a new comer may be very useful because trump is more surrounded by maga types now, because waltz and rubio are also firmly in the maga camp. so they may be able to make an argument to trump that you don't want to get rolled. um, we've seen this guy before. let's let's road test the offers he's making. but that still, i. the

like waltz, who is the us national security advisor says there's on dates of late for fiction in the whole office. what president trump is obviously very frustrated. right? now with present zelinski, the fact that uh, that he hasn't come to the table that he hasn't been willing to take this opportunity that we have offered. i think he eventually we'll get to that point and i hope so very quickly. but present trump is as we made clear to our russian counterparts. and i want to make clear today he's focused on stop in the fighting and moving forward. people here in washington will tell you that donald trump is perhaps the only mine who could get both sides around the table to begin piece talks. and it's clear that the united states does one piece ukrainians do too. but they're worried about what sort of piece still would be agreed as they are not actually at the table. i was for sure, i'll just either at the white heads to the u. s. as designation of h, a less than american drug call tells us foreign terrorist organizations, gang, such as m a setting and el salvador and mexico sent a l

started this war, which is not true, given waltz has written extensively about who is responsible for this. as a former member of congress. you wrote in an op ed in the fall of 2023 that, quote, putin is to blame, certainly like al qaeda was to blame for 9/11. do you still feel that way now, or do you share the president's assessment, as he says, ukraine is to blame for the start of this war? >> well, it shouldn't surprise you that i share the president's assessment on all kinds of issues. what i wrote as a member of congress was, was as a former member of congress. look what i share. the president's assessment on is that the war has to end. uh, and what comes with that? what comes with that should be, at some point, elections. what comes with that should be peace. what comes with that is prosperity that we've just offered. uh, in this natural resources and economic partnership arrangement and end to the killing and european security and security for the world. this is a president of peace. and who here would argue against peace? >> of course, no one was arguing against peace. my sour

oh, we don't have waltz. i thought we did. but he's saying the president can talk tafanely putin whether in saudi arabia or elsewhere and then can bring president zelensky into the conversation. from your perspective, is that the right way to handle things right now? >> kevin, thank you. we had active engagement with our friends and president zelensky and president vance and secretary rubio was there and actively engaged with working with the strategic allies regard to russians, we have to be clear, they're the ones that attacked us in 2014 and 2022. they can end this war. any day they want and if president trump convinces them to stop this war, god bless him. we all will work together with president trump to do it. as you see now, today horrible attack by russians and hundreds of thousands of people without electricity because of that attack and attack on chernobyl confinement shelter two days ago. putin clearly still shows that he's not ready or willing to talk about peace. look, we'll be working very active with our america

>> sandra: mike waltz was part of the talks and he is on deck that first jacqui heinrich. 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

political attacks from president trump, and now trump's white house national security adviser mike waltz, declining to blame russia for starting the war. waltz, who was once vocal about standing up for ukraine, saying this today -- >> president trump is obviously very frustrated right now with president zelenskyy, the fact that -- that he hasn't come to the table, that he hasn't been willing to take this opportunity that we have offered. >> reporter: this was the deal from trump that zelenskyy was asked to sign, according to ukrainian officials. hand over half of the revenue from its mineral resources to the u.s. forever. but without any promise of security going forward. a senior ukrainian official telling abc news they were given almost no time to read the document. the source claiming when zelenskyy presented an alternative plan to the u.s., at the munich security conference, they threatened to cancel planned meetings with vice president vance and secretary of state rubio. a u.s. official calling this inaccurate. today, u.s. special envoy keith kellogg meeting with zelenskyy amid this

here to react trump national security adviser michael waltz.ssion in ray add. riyadh. >> brian, there is obviously a lot of frustration here. vice president vance was very frustrated leaving the munich security conference. our secretary of treasuro traveled all the way to kyiv is also frustrated, the president obviously who makes his frustration well-known and that's because we presented the ukrainians really an incredible and historic opportunity to have the united states of america co-invest with ukraine, invest in its economy, invest in its natural resources, and really become a partner in ukraine's future in a way that is sustainable but also would be, i think, the best security guarantee they could ever hope for, much more than another pallet of ammunition. and so to have the united states co-invest, to grow their pie, to allow their economy to flourish over time, and oh, by the way, to have the american taxpayer recoup the hundreds of billions of dollars as the europeans do, all makes sense. why we're getting this pushback and certainly t

so if it is transactional, it will be with the wrong information being provided to him from like waltz perhaps because as you say that he understand. i mean when he go do the mike walks is going when he realizes the, well, it's presumably is the guy telling him, saudi arabia is fine with no palestinian state. i mean, it was very, very late. the release time for the far enough as depa. what are the saudi arabians going, what are you talking about? basically an immediate response to this outrage all around here. and uh, well, it's presumably telling him the palestinians. they don't want to return, they shouldn't return when it was on hundreds of thousands have been returning over the past few days to know them guys, it's all wrong. information is being fed. the word is on the street this morning, early about 7 am. the vaults is gone. i don't know if that's accurate, but that's the word on the street. what that is, or then date, there's a history of a national security advisors going quickly. we had john bolton on the other week of course, and hope to get mike flynn, who was the 1st one.

what else is mike waltz been saying, alan? it was clear that the relationship between the united states and ukraine is it perhaps as low as point since the war began 3 years ago and fight 2 years ago today, joe biden wasn't keith to meet president. so landscape during the war he travelled in from poland and then delivered to speak to more so i remember it because i was there by the my goals. it's essentially defending donald trump as you would expect . a president zalinski is deeply concerned that the united states held the crossroads of so called peace talks for ukraine in re i'd, but without the ukrainians present. and in fact, donald trump describe the load them is the landscape as a dictator saying he'd 3 years to get to the table. so it's fair to say as mike bolt for the old in the briefing room, just within the last couple of hours. the things between the ukraine and the united states isn't particularly rosy at the moment to most of our weapons that have gone to ukraine, have been part of a drop down authority, where we'

keith of the us national security advise and like waltz has praise. the new administration's approach, the war and ukraine of the white house press briefing, i have the honor of sitting in the oval office as president trump spoke with president putin. and then immediately spoke with president zalinski. and both of them said, only president trump could bring both sides of the table and only president trump could stop the risk fighting that has been going on now for the better part of 4 years. and that only president trump could drive the world back to peace. both of those leaders said that and back to back calls or and such as in washington, dc for us allan. so mike waltz, the white house national security adviser speaking then the last hour or so. and once again, we're hearing those same points that we've been hearing repeatedly from the us administration and recent days that europe needs to step off when it comes to ukraine. i'm pushing back on the accusation from your new crane that the us hasn't been consulting its allies when it comes to those pie

they will have a voice and this is just the beginning but rubio and national security advisor michael waltz said this was a very productive first meeting. >> later on we are expecting more nominations to be put through the senate. the commerce secretary and fbi director, the white house as far as their optimism concerning the fbi erectors part where are they as of today? -- fbi director's part. >> especially after they were able to get confirmed by this are public and led senate the ceiling with a slim majority. they're expecting cash patel to be able to sail through especially because those other nominees cleared that benchmark. people like howard let nick the incoming commerce secretary are checking to sail through as well but really the gop is staying that way united behind president trump and allowing his nominees to really get through without a lot of issue. host: elon musk consistently in the news over the last few weeks. what is the white house doing to at least give the message out when it comes to his ability to do his job. not only the independence from the president but who he ac

mike waltz, the first congressman green beret national security advisor. you asked the same question. what is president trump really like? let me tell you a story about what is really like. second thursday of the new trump administration, less than ten days in, national security advisor and myself are waiting to see the president. we walk into the oval office and you can read about it and we said, mr. president, there's isis terrorist in somalia which our government has been surveilling and the president looked at me and said what do you mean? you been watching and mike said yes, the former administration and joe biden. president trump looks up from his desk and says, kill them.
