After a catastrophic meeting in the Oval Office, Ukrainian President Zelensky traveled to the UK in an effort to get more support from European leaders.

111.573 - 124.438 John Bickley

Joining us to discuss what's happened since the unprecedented Oval Office skirmish between Trump and Zelensky is Daily Wire White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olihan. So, Mary Margaret, first, what have you learned from sources about what took place Friday?

0

125.049 - 138.163 Mary Margaret Olihan

Good morning. First of all, my sources are saying this was not planned, that Trump and Vance were just reacting to Zelensky's, quote, antics and bad behavior. He showed up at the White House wearing a casual black outfit, rolled his eyes and crossed his arms throughout the meeting.

138.203 - 157.423 Mary Margaret Olihan

And he repeatedly argued with both the president and the vice president in the Oval Office while asking for help for his country. Right. And when Zelensky suggested before the White House media, so the whole world, that Trump and Vance didn't understand the realities of both the Russia-Ukraine war and Vladimir Putin himself, they were unsurprisingly insulted.

157.863 - 160.186 Mary Margaret Olihan

Here's a bit of that drama unfolding for those who missed it.

160.894 - 177.143 Donald Trump

We tried the pathway of Joe Biden of thumping our chest and pretending that the President of the United States' words mattered more than the President of the United States' actions. What makes America a good country is America engaging in diplomacy. That's what President Trump is doing.

178.11 - 191.705 Donald Trump

I gave you the javelins to take out all those tanks. Obama gave you sheets. You gotta be more thankful. Because let me tell you, you don't have the cards. With us, you have the cards. But without us, you don't have any cards.

Chapter 6: What is Shopify's role in business success?

318.686 - 340.378 Mary Margaret Olihan

Starmer also said that Europe must up its support of Ukraine, and he announced a $2.7 billion loan to Ukraine with the use of Russian frozen assets. And meanwhile, I'm told that President Trump really does want to deal with Ukraine, as he has repeatedly said. But that will only come when the Ukrainian leader prioritizes peace, and that means agreeing to a deal with the U.S. Right.

340.498 - 348.721 Mary Margaret Olihan

Trump said Friday that Zelensky is, quote, not ready for peace if America is involved because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations.

0

349.401 - 354.803 John Bickley

A remarkable sequence of events. And once again, Trump looking to hammer out a deal in his trademark way.

355.243 - 357.504 Mary Margaret Olihan

Definitely not the Biden presidency anymore, is it?

0

357.524 - 360.125 John Bickley

No, it's not. Mary Margaret, thanks so much for reporting.

360.425 - 361.145 Mary Margaret Olihan

Thanks for having me.
