Segment Topic:
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Reveals This Is the Third Time Zelenskyy Has Backed Out of Mineral Deal.
- Saturday the UK greased Zelenskyy palm with over two-billion (Pound Sterling) to continue his war. Then it was across town to a meeting and photo op with the Socialist/Marxists leaders of the EU to plan for more war.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio dismantled George Stephanopoulos’s predictable left-wing narrative, exposing the media’s blatant double standard when it comes to President Trump’s efforts to end the war in Ukraine.
- While Biden’s administration fumbled through foreign policy disasters, from Afghanistan to Ukraine, Rubio made it clear that Trump is taking the only logical approach—bringing Russia to the table to stop the bloodshed.
- From the start, Stephanopoulos attempted to paint Trump’s push for negotiations with Russia as some kind of betrayal. He parroted the same tired narrative that daring to engage in diplomacy with Vladimir Putin is akin to “placating” him. But Rubio was having none of it.
- Tucker Carlson laid-out the case for the UNI-Party and the Davos crowd wanting to continue this war to prevent the world from learning what Ukraine was really doing since Victoria Nuland’s work at the behest of Obama and beyond.
- Who was behind a Norwegian company threatening to withhold fuel from U.S. vessels docked in Norwegian Ports?
- How do the American people feel about they saw and heard on Friday?
- Are they with Trump and to hell with Ukraine?

Segment Topic:
- Tony Shaffer to Newsmax: Trump, Ukraine in 'Battle of Dueling Narratives'!
- Three days before President Donald Trump's inauguration, the British signed an agreement with Ukraine that includes rights to the resources, retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer told Newsmax
- This is on the British U.K.website," Shaffer, the president of Project Sentinel, told Newsmax's "Wake Up America Weekend." "Ukraine and the U.K. signed a 100-year deal over security guarantees and economic development."
- Shaffer said he believes the strong words toward Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Friday in the Oval Office were the result of President Donald Trump and his team finding out "they were being played."
- We, the United States, are trying to be signed up to a deal that we provide security guarantees for an economic development deal that [British Prime Minister] Keir Starmer has already signed them up to do," said Shaffer. "So the first thing it has to do is people have to take a step back and be honest with what's really going on."
- He added that he believes Trump was trying to play a "straight line deal" to sign an agreement on mineral rights, "knowing full well that the British had already signed on this three days before his inauguration."
- This means that if the Europeans want the United States to continue helping them support Ukraine, "they're going to have to take a step back and start being honest with the United States about what's going on here."
- The deal Ukraine signed with the U.K. commits the two sides to cooperate on defense, economic, and technology projects, including "supporting development of a Ukrainian critical minerals strategy and necessary regulatory structures required to support the maximization of benefits from Ukraine’s natural resources."
- Meanwhile, Trump has been "very clear" on the Europeans' involvement in supporting Ukraine, said Shaffer.
- "The other day when Keir Starmer was in the office, he asked the prime minister, Gee, can you guys beat the Russians on your own? This is all about them finally stepping up and taking responsibility for their own backyard," Shaffer said.
- Shaffer also noted that Starmer has reportedly said that the agreements have been made between Ukraine and the U.K., but "'they're not really worth anything unless the United States shows up to make it all real.'"
