Jack Smith Report Blocked & Congestion Toll Avoidance | Afternoon Update | 1.7.25
It's terrible for everybody. If you can't make your subway or bus budget, figure out a budgetary way to do it, but don't charge people congestion tax. It just doesn't work for working class folks that are coming into the city, etc., etc., so...

Hey, Ben, it's great to be here.

Ep. 2157 - Democrats To SHUT DOWN The Government?
Yes. So at the briefing a couple of days ago, Caroline Levitt called on me. I was able to ask about Zelensky's letter to President Trump, which we learned about last week in President Trump's joint address to the nation. And he shared that Zelensky had sent him a letter. He didn't really share what else Zelensky had said. And special envoy.

Witkoff revealed earlier this week that Zelensky actually apologized in that letter. And so we thought we should know more about what was said in that letter and what the president and Zelensky are talking about. So that's what I asked. And Caroline didn't really expand on the contents of the letter, but she did share with us that that very day, Secretary Rubio

was in saudi arabia meeting with ukrainian officials she told us that the talks were going really well they were very positive and shortly after that press briefing ended we learned uh that ukraine and the united states were in a great position and had agreed to a ceasefire and more so that's ongoing we're hoping for more developments there and we know president trump will be meeting with members of the european union and nato here at the white house today so that's
The Ben Shapiro Show

Very exciting. We're looking forward to what comes next in that area. You know, President Trump has been very emphatic about his desire for peace between Russia and Ukraine. And that's what this whole White House has been gearing up towards for the last several weeks.

Well, that was a really interesting visit. Actually, to backtrack a little bit, I was able to start the whole day at the Vice President's residence up in northwest D.C. because that's where the Irish Premier Michael Martin started his day as well, at a breakfast at the Vice President's residence.

And Justice Brett Kavanaugh and his wife were in attendance, RFK Jr., a number of other high-profile Irish Catholic, Irish public figures in the Trump administration and in Washington, D.C., And I was able to post some pictures from outside. I think it's really interesting to see what the Vance's life looks like up there in the house where Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff used to live.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2157 - Democrats To SHUT DOWN The Government?
Really interesting turn of events there. They've got a little playhouse outside the house, outside the residence, as well as a swing for the Vance kids who had gone off to school in their very highly secured vehicles before we got there. So all of that was really interesting. And then of course, Vance hosted Michael Martin at his residence.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2157 - Democrats To SHUT DOWN The Government?
They talked about the importance of the Irish-American relationship, which is also what President Trump and Michael Martin talked about in the Oval Office yesterday. One kind of cute moment, I guess you would say, was at the breakfast, Vance joked that he was wearing St. Patrick's Day socks with shamrocks on them.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2157 - Democrats To SHUT DOWN The Government?
And he said to Martin, you're going to have to defend me if President Trump doesn't like them because he's a very conservative dresser. Well, sure enough, later in the day in the Oval Office, President Trump kind of teased Vice President Vance about his socks, which had these massive green shamrocks on them, and said he loved them. So that was a funny moment.

Ep. 2157 - Democrats To SHUT DOWN The Government?
Also, another one that was notable, Brian Glenn, another White House reporter, asked Michael Martin about Rosie O'Donnell, saying that she wants to move to Ireland, and asked why anyone would want Rosie O'Donnell in their country, which is a little bit of a Surprise question. I think a lot of us wouldn't have expected that one.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2157 - Democrats To SHUT DOWN The Government?
You can see in the video, Vice President Vance kind of doubling over, covering his face and laughing. And Trump had some funny quips in there as well. But overall, you know, Michael Martin talked about how important the relationship between Ireland and the United States is.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2157 - Democrats To SHUT DOWN The Government?
He also talked about the role that President Trump is playing in peace between Russia and Ukraine and really emphasized his interest in furthering that peace as well.
