Speaker 5 Donald Trump has just abruptly canceled the press conference that was supposed to take place with President Zelensky after that Oval Office debacle.

Speaker 5 And even more, Donald Trump has canceled all peace talks with Ukraine. Donald Trump says he will be abandoning the peace talks after Donald Trump's meltdown in the Oval Office.

Speaker 5 We reported earlier today about the horrific behavior by Donald Trump and J.D.

Speaker 5 Vance where they were attacking President Zelensky in the Oval Office like kind of petulant third-grade schoolyard bullies.

Speaker 5 It was so odd to watch as they laundered Russian propaganda and talking points to attack zelinsky who was standing his ground in the oval office and it was all there for the world press to see as i said in the previous video i made it is a date that will live in infamy forever a site we'll never be able to unsee in american history one of the most shameful moments if not the most shameful moment perhaps in american history, certainly in recent American history.

Speaker 5 You saw the moments of what went down in the Oval Office. By the way, here's Marco Rubio while this was all taking place.
And here was the ambassador from Ukraine.

Speaker 5 The Ukrainian ambassador had her head in her hand by this point as well. Here's the statement from Donald Trump moments ago, quote, We had a very meaningful meeting in the White House today.

Speaker 5 Much was learned that can never be understood. Without conversation under such fire and pressure, it's amazing what comes out through emotion.

Speaker 5 And I have determined that President Zelensky is not ready for peace if America is involved because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations. I don't want advantage.

Speaker 5 I want peace. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office.
He can come back when he is ready for peace.

Speaker 5 Let me say something because I know corporate media is not going to say this. Donald Trump, Trump, you shamed the United States in the Oval Office today.

Speaker 5 It is a shameful day right now in the United States of America for what you and J.D. Vance did.

Speaker 5 Your behavior was traitorous, and in my opinion, it was treasonous laundering those talking points of our sworn enemy, Vladimir Putin, into the White House.

Speaker 5 Let me be very clear and let me not mince words on the Midas Touch network.

Speaker 5 Oh, and by the way, wasn't it you who said that you would be able to bring peace to Ukraine in 24 hours because you were such a good negotiator? You're the worst negotiator ever. You're emotional.

Speaker 5 You are disrespectful. You have no command of the issues.
You set timelines that can't be met and you break them consistently.

Speaker 5 You've shown that you're not an honest arbiter or mediator of anything, but that you were just Putin's freaking puppet.

Speaker 5 By the way, let me show some receipts where you said that you would have resolved this war in 24 hours or even before that. Here, play this clip.

Speaker 7 I could end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours.

Speaker 8 Yes, I could. How would you do that?

Speaker 9 I know Zelensky very well.

Speaker 10 I'll end that war between those two countries in 24 hours. It won't even take that long.
I will get the war ended. I'll stop all of those lives from being wasted and lost.

Speaker 10 And there'll be no more bombing of Ukraine.

Speaker 9 There'll be no more bombing of Russia.

Speaker 10 And everybody will be happy.

Speaker 9 It can be negotiated, I think, within 24 hours.

Speaker 9 It really has to be done from the office of the president.

Speaker 9 And you have to get them both in a room. And there are things you can say to each one of them, which I won't reveal now, which will guarantee that this war will end immediately.

Speaker 11 And that to get itself, I can do it in 24 hours. I know both players, and I can do that in 24 hours.
But you can only do it from the office of the president.

Speaker 11 You need that seat. You need what's KL in that seat, and I would have that done in 24 hours.
It wouldn't even be tough. I know what to say to each of them, and there's no way they would reject it.

Speaker 9 Say this. I will end that war in one day.
It'll take 24 hours. I would have a deal done in 24 hours from the time we started.

Speaker 9 And I would tell Zelensky something, and I would tell Putin something, and I'd get him into a room, and I'd tell him again and again. I would have a deal done very quickly.

Speaker 5 Now, here is where I think Fox learned that the,

Speaker 5 you know, or I think it was learned maybe on CNN or Fox that

Speaker 5 the press conference was going to be canceled. Here's where they learned that the, yeah, I think it's the CNN, the press conference was canceled.
Let's play it.

Speaker 13 And we just confirmed, actually, Nick, we just confirmed from the White House, a producer just got in our ears.

Speaker 13 The press conference between President Zelensky and President Trump has officially been canceled. Again, that press conference was set to take place about 20 minutes ago.

Speaker 13 We watched what happened in the Oval Office and everything sort of flew off the reels from there.

Speaker 5 And here was Zelensky leaving the White House. Let's play it.
Hang on with this.

Speaker 7 If you look to your left, you're going to see him. Let's watch.

Speaker 15 President Zelensky, can you tell us what happened?

Speaker 16 Let's be real. Doing laundry kind of sucks, but you know it doesn't? Smelling amazing.
That's why I'm obsessed with laundry sauce, the world's best-selling laundry pods.

Speaker 16 No more clothes that smell stale and gross. Now I step out in Australian sandalwood.
Let me tell you, people notice. Compliments on my laundry? Never thought that would happen.

Speaker 16 And it's not just about the scent. These pods are four times concentrated with serious cleaning power.
They tackle stains, revibe fabrics, and leave everything smelling like a high-end cologne.

Speaker 16 Oh, and if you're into fresh, clean vibes, their new Oregon mint scent is a game changer. I literally just started a load of wash right before I recorded this with that one.

Speaker 16 It's so convenient and such high quality. What else can you ask for?

Speaker 5 Well, actually, how about this?

Speaker 16 If you put your new luxury laundry obsession on autopilot, you save an extra 15 to 20% off every order when you subscribe.

Speaker 16 And you could start right now with your first one because right now you get 20% off your entire order at laundry sauce.com with code MIDAS20. That's laundry sauce.com code MIDAS20, M-E-I-D-A-S2-0.

Speaker 16 And after you order, tell them we sent you. Smell good, look good, feel good with laundry sauce.

Speaker 5 Now, the White House is trying to frame this as some massive victory. They want to act like this was some grand gesture of patriotism.

Speaker 5 They're posting the American flag on the official White House account. America first with the American flag.
Do not use our flag to spread hateful Russian propaganda.

Speaker 5 You despicable people in the White House. Marjorie Taylor Greene, always with the American flag.
What pathetic individuals these people are.

Speaker 5 Caroline Levitt, the White House propagandist who calls herself a press secretary, goes, President Trump and Vice President Vance are standing up for the American people.

Speaker 5 No, you're standing up for Vladimir Putin is who you're standing up for.

Speaker 5 Ilya Pomerenko from the Kyiv Independent writes, this will go down in history as one of the most unnecessarily shameful moments in the history of the White House.

Speaker 5 War always forces people to reveal their true nature. It has always been this way, and it always will be at every level, from the ordinary citizen to the powerful figures in high offices.

Speaker 5 Today, we once again witnessed exactly how that works.

Speaker 5 Brian Caram, who's covered presidential politics as a White House press correspondent for over 40 years, said, this was the most juvenile display by a president and vice president I have ever seen.

Speaker 5 Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and dark day for the U.S.
Julia Davis, great reporter who covers all things Russia. She runs Russian Monitor.

Speaker 5 She writes, Trump already made it obvious he has no intention of supporting Ukraine with additional aid while blatantly siding with Russia and offering unwarranted concessions in advance.

Speaker 5 I'm glad Zelensky spoke out and didn't take Trump's advance's advance's abuse. There was nothing left to lose.

Speaker 5 Democratic Congressmember Eric Swalwell writes: Absolute admiration for President Zelensky. The guy has balls.
He went into the Oval Office and stood up to Russia's best negotiators.

Speaker 5 I couldn't agree more. Ben Rhodes writes: These are not political news cycle issues.

Speaker 5 Trump is transforming what the United States is as a country in the world into a far-right, authoritarian, transactional, valueless oligarchy aligned with the world's autocracies.

Speaker 5 Back to Ilya Pomarenko here, who goes, Ponomarenko goes, and so dear Europe, we are on our own.

Speaker 5 Way too much time and opportunities have been wasted on false illusions and self-deceit, but we have to deal with what we have.

Speaker 5 There's always a way to go for those who don't give up and never accept surrender and death as an option. Ukraine has been more than a vivid illustration of the fact that we can do it.

Speaker 5 The heart of the free world gets back to the eastern side of the Atlantic, and we'll pull through this together as America unfortunately abandons reason for madness.

Speaker 5 Just to remind you, let me share with you what went down in the Oval Office. I did a whole longer video on this.

Speaker 5 This video is, of course, the follow-up that because of what went down, Donald Trump's emotional, reckless, malicious behavior, Donald Trump called off the press conference that was supposed to take place and canceled all peace talks because he's a little petulant child who should be nowhere near positions of power, yet alone in that Oval Office.

Speaker 5 But here's what went down in the Oval Office. Let's play it.

Speaker 7 Tell us what we're going to feel. We're trying to solve a problem.
Don't tell us what we're going to feel. I'm not telling you.
Because you're in no position to dictate that.

Speaker 8 Remember this.

Speaker 7 You're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel.

Speaker 7 We're going to feel very good.

Speaker 7 We're going to feel very good and very strong.

Speaker 7 You're right now not in a very good position. You've allowed yourself to be in a very bad position, and he happens to be right about you.

Speaker 14 From the very beginning of the war, you're not in a good position.

Speaker 7 You don't have the cards right now. With us, you start having cards.

Speaker 7 Right now, you don't have

Speaker 7 to be a card.

Speaker 8 You're playing cards.

Speaker 8 You're gambling with the lives of millions of people.

Speaker 17 You're gambling with World War III.

Speaker 14 You're gambling with World War III.

Speaker 7 And what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country,

Speaker 14 that's backed you

Speaker 14 far more than a lot of people said they should have. Have you said thank you once this entire meeting? No, in this entire meeting, you said thank you today.

Speaker 19 You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October. Offer some words of appreciation for the United States of America and the president who's trying to save your country.

Speaker 12 Please, you think that if you will speak very loudly about the war, you're going to be able to do it.

Speaker 14 He's not speaking loudly. He's not speaking loudly.
Your country is in big trouble.

Speaker 8 Can I have a question? Wait a minute. No, no.

Speaker 14 You've done a lot of talking. Your country is in big trouble.
I know. You're not winning.
You're not winning this.

Speaker 7 You have a damn good chance of coming out okay because of us.

Speaker 17 Mr.

Speaker 12 President, we are staying in our country, staying strong from the very beginning of the war. We've been alone and we are thankful.
I said thank you.

Speaker 14 You haven't been alone.

Speaker 8 You haven't been alone.

Speaker 17 We gave you, through this stupid president, $350 billion.

Speaker 14 You warned me. We gave you military equipment.

Speaker 17 And you met a brave, but they had to use our military equipment.

Speaker 14 If you didn't have our military equipment,

Speaker 17 if you didn't have our military equipment, this war would have been over in two weeks. In three days.

Speaker 12 I heard it from Putin. In three days.
This is something. Maybe less.
In two weeks. Of course, yes.

Speaker 7 It's going to be a very hard thing to do business like this.

Speaker 14 Just say thank you. I said a lot of people.

Speaker 19 Except that there are disagreements, and let's go litigate those disagreements rather than trying to fight it out in the American media when you're wrong. We know that you're wrong.

Speaker 5 Then you now have at the Oval Office as Donald Trump has banned a lot of the press from being there, but you have his right-wing propagandist minions like Brian Glenn, who is an individual who is with Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Speaker 5 He's in a relationship with her after she, I don't know if they were with each other when she was with her husband, but Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend, Brian Glenn, asked this question.

Speaker 5 Let's play it.

Speaker 7 Second question.

Speaker 5 My second question for President Golinski.

Speaker 12 Do you ever, why don't you wear a suit?

Speaker 7 Why don't you wear a suit?

Speaker 17 You're at the highest level in this country's office, and you refuse to wear a suit.

Speaker 14 Just want to see if you do you own a suit?

Speaker 8 Yeah, you have problems.

Speaker 18 A lot of Americans have problems with you.

Speaker 15 I respect you.

Speaker 14 I don't have such.

Speaker 12 I will wear a costume after this war will finish.

Speaker 12 Yes. Maybe

Speaker 12 something like maybe something like yours yes maybe some something better i don't i don't know we will see maybe something cheaper than yeah

Speaker 12 thank you thank you

Speaker 5 so there you have it folks and let me send this message to the world as an american there are more americans right now who disapprove of donald trump than approve of that behavior on behalf of our country to the international community that watches this network we are deeply sorry.

Speaker 5 This is horrible. And we are kind of stuck in this horrible authoritarian regime led by Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and J.D.
Vance.

Speaker 5 I am confident that we will get out of this. I am confident that we will prevail.

Speaker 5 To the Americans who watch this, It is time, as I've said before, that we rise up and make our voices heard peacefully, of course, but this is a time where we stand up to this utter nonsense as this evil, malicious regime continues to poke and prod and take away the America that we all knew and love so dearly.

Speaker 5 A shameful day in American history. Shameful.
