President Trump said that he had a nice phone call with Vladimir Putin.

Good morning and welcome to morning, Joe. It is Thursday, February 13th.

The reminder, Lamere, tomorrow.

Brom.

Ratner.

Tomorrow.

Okay.

We've got a lot to get to this morning, including that call between President Trump

and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

President Trump is predicting a ceasefire in the conflict, but his comments

yesterday seemed to favor Putin's interests for ending the war. It comes as Defense Secretary

Pete Hegseth laid out hardline stances on the future of Ukraine and U.S. relations with NATO members.

We'll go through all of that straight ahead. Plus, Attorney General

Pam Bondi made a statement yesterday taking action against the state of New York over its
