0:01
Speaker 1: I want to break down for you exactly what happened
0:03
Speaker 1: at the White House today, the timeline and how the
0:07
Speaker 1: meetings went between the President United States of America, Zelensky,
0:10
Speaker 1: and European Union leaders. This was a very busy day.
0:15
Speaker 1: The day was focused on not only the Oval Office
0:18
Speaker 1: meeting between the US Presidental Trump and the Ukrainian President Zelenski,
0:22
Speaker 1: but also the meeting with European Union and NATO leaders.
0:26
Speaker 1: Here is a timeline of how this day unfolded, so
0:29
Speaker 1: you know and understand exactly how this went down. At
0:33
Speaker 1: noon Eastern, European leaders began to arrive at the White House.
0:38
Speaker 1: At one o'clock Eastern, Trump greeted President Zelensky outside the
0:41
Speaker 1: West Wing at one point fifteen. Bilateral meeting in the
0:46
Speaker 1: Oval Office between Trump and Zelensky with initial media access
0:50
Speaker 1: began two fifteen Eastern. Trump welcomed the European leaders into
0:54
Speaker 1: the State dining Room after he met with Zolensky to
0:58
Speaker 1: thirty Eastern and we photo is how they described it
1:02
Speaker 1: taken in Cross Hall with all of the attendees of
1:05
Speaker 1: the meeting. And then at three o'clock Eastern there was
1:09
Speaker 1: the multilateral meeting held in the East room. Now, the
1:14
Speaker 1: highlights and key developments of this meeting are also important.
1:17
Speaker 1: Zelensky described as private conversation with Trump is very good,
1:22
Speaker 1: noting discussions on very sensitive points. Trump also pledged US
1:27
Speaker 1: support for NATO style security guarantees, while emphasizing that Europe
1:32
Speaker 1: would serve as the first line of defense. I have
1:36
Speaker 1: the highlights of the meeting and the press availability with
1:39
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and Zelensky. You are going to hear different cuts.
1:44
Speaker 1: My team. We put this together so you understand what
1:47
Speaker 1: all happened in this press conference in essence, but in
1:51
Speaker 1: a clear and concise way. So take a list in
1:54
Speaker 1: the President and Zelensky and the highlights of their press event.
1:58
Speaker 2: I guess the numbers over three hundred billion dollars. I
2:01
Speaker 2: was under Joe Biden, a corrupt politician, not a smart man.
2:08
Speaker 2: Never was, by the way, go back forty years. He
2:10
Speaker 2: was not a smart man forty years ago either. But
2:13
Speaker 2: now he's in particular bad. This was done by a
2:16
Speaker 2: corrupt administration that shouldn't have been in and and frankly,
2:21
Speaker 2: if the right results of the election were given, if
2:24
Speaker 2: I were president, this war would have never taken place.
2:27
Speaker 2: And he would have been very happy because he would
2:30
Speaker 2: have liked to have seen. I mean, they went through hell.
2:31
Speaker 2: He went through hell. This war would have never happened.
2:35
Speaker 2: And the people that were killed, a couple of million people,
2:38
Speaker 2: a lot of people with soldiers and everything else. And
2:41
Speaker 2: the people that have been displaced and forced into other
2:43
Speaker 2: areas in other countries because of what's happened. None of
2:46
Speaker 2: that would have happened, whether it was the borders or this.
2:49
Speaker 2: He was just a horrible corrupt president.
2:53
Speaker 3: What we have the civisits now to buy weapon from
2:58
Speaker 3: the United States, where I think for these program and
3:01
Speaker 3: this opportunity, were thankful for Europe. They pay for this
3:04
Speaker 3: and through native program for trouble total and et cetera.
3:07
Speaker 3: We have some programs where we can have some money
3:10
Speaker 3: to finance this. And this is a part. I think,
3:13
Speaker 3: It's not a part for the war and.
3:17
Speaker 4: To defend us.
3:18
Speaker 3: It's also will be a part for security guarantees to
3:21
Speaker 3: transcend our army, to rearm Ukrainian army. This is very
3:27
Speaker 3: important and it depends how much money we need to
3:30
Speaker 3: re are. For example, the question of air defense. We
3:33
Speaker 3: spoke about it with President Trump and I'm happy that
3:36
Speaker 3: we have now elateral decisions and we work on it
3:39
Speaker 3: with production of American product. Nobody in Europe has so
3:43
Speaker 3: many air defense like Patrios, for example. We need it
3:47
Speaker 3: very much, and this is also about defending.
3:50
Speaker 2: I think the is we make the best military equipment
3:52
Speaker 2: in the world by far. You mentioned the Patriots. How
3:55
Speaker 2: good are the systems we have systems? They're literally a
4:00
Speaker 2: one hundred percent foolproof. You know, two bullets hitting each
4:02
Speaker 2: other in the air at a paced like this, a
4:05
Speaker 2: chance is one hundred percent. It's ninety nine to one
4:07
Speaker 2: hundred percent. So we sell the equipment to NATO, and
4:13
Speaker 2: NATO does what. I don't know what the arrangement is
4:16
Speaker 2: that you have with but I know that they want
4:18
Speaker 2: you to have the equipment, and we're getting the best
4:21
Speaker 2: equipment in the world, but they pay us for the equipment.
4:24
Speaker 2: Under Biden, it was just crazy what was going on.
4:28
Speaker 2: I believe the number is over three hundred. I think
4:30
Speaker 2: it could be three hundred and fifty billion dollars worth
4:33
Speaker 2: of equipment and money and everything else. And we've made
4:36
Speaker 2: more progress in settling this war in the last two months,
4:40
Speaker 2: and they made in four years. They should have been
4:42
Speaker 2: settled a long time ago, but it should have never happened.
4:44
Speaker 1: Yeh.
4:44
Speaker 2: The puarancies do you need from President Trump to be
4:48
Speaker 2: able to make a deal is in American troops, intelligent equipment?
4:51
Speaker 5: What is it?
4:53
Speaker 4: Everything?
4:55
Speaker 3: Really we it's it's includes two par fist strong Ukrainian
5:01
Speaker 3: army that I began to discuss with your cliques, and
5:05
Speaker 3: it's a lot about Tubapon and then people and training,
5:08
Speaker 3: missions and intelligence and second will we will discuss with
5:12
Speaker 3: our more partners. It depends on the big countries, on
5:16
Speaker 3: the United States, on a lot of our friends.
5:20
Speaker 2: And they want to give protection. They feel very strongly
5:22
Speaker 2: about it and will help them out with it. I
5:24
Speaker 2: think it's very important. I think it's very important to
5:27
Speaker 2: get the deal.
5:27
Speaker 5: With You've been involved to the peace keeping in Ukraine
5:31
Speaker 5: since your first day the administration. What would you say
5:35
Speaker 5: to the Ukrainian people right now who are suffering under
5:39
Speaker 5: the Russian atdars and hoping that the American people will
5:43
Speaker 5: stand as that.
5:44
Speaker 2: Many over the years. They are great people, They're smart,
5:47
Speaker 2: they're energetic, they love their country. I mean, they love
5:51
Speaker 2: their country and we want to get this warranted. That's
5:54
Speaker 2: all I can do. I love the Ukrainian people, but
5:57
Speaker 2: I love all people. I love the Russian people.
5:59
Speaker 3: I love them all.
6:00
Speaker 2: I want to get the war stopped.
6:03
Speaker 6: There any aspect of your discussion with Vladimir Putting that
6:07
Speaker 6: left to disappointed.
6:09
Speaker 2: Look, we just spoke to I was just telling the president.
6:14
Speaker 2: I just spoke to President Putting indirectly, and we're going
6:18
Speaker 2: to have a phone call right after these meetings today
6:21
Speaker 2: and we may or may not have a trylad If
6:23
Speaker 2: we don't have a trilad, then the fighting continues, and
6:27
Speaker 2: if we do, we have a good chance. I think
6:28
Speaker 2: if we have a trilet that's a good chance of
6:30
Speaker 2: maybe ending it. But he's expecting my call when we're
6:35
Speaker 2: finished with this meeting.
6:37
Speaker 1: Now. One of the interesting things that you heard in
6:39
Speaker 1: there was not only the President talking about what we've
6:41
Speaker 1: done with weapons, but also clearly saying that we the
6:46
Speaker 1: US are going to pledge our support for a NATO
6:51
Speaker 1: style security guarantee for Ukraine, while also emphasizing that Europe
6:56
Speaker 1: again would serve as the first line of defense. That
7:01
Speaker 1: was backed up later in the day as European and
7:04
Speaker 1: NATO officials met in a larger group setting. The leaders
7:08
Speaker 1: from France, the EU etc. Urged for number one, a
7:13
Speaker 1: ceasefire and ceasefire talks to begin immediately, as well as robust,
7:19
Speaker 1: as they described it, long term security arrangements now. Trump
7:24
Speaker 1: also clarified his continued opposition to Ukraine NATO membership and
7:29
Speaker 1: noted territorial concessions were possible in certain areas. Zelensky emphasized
7:37
Speaker 1: two non negotiables also for a piece deal. Number one
7:43
Speaker 1: a strong Western equipped Ukrainian army and two continued international
7:49
Speaker 1: especially US and European support. Those were the two non
7:53
Speaker 1: negotiables for what he described as a peace deal. There
7:57
Speaker 1: was also the multilateral meeting and the broader dynamics. You
8:02
Speaker 1: heard the President talk about how much money we've given. Well,
8:05
Speaker 1: now we have even bigger numbers to talk about. For example,
8:09
Speaker 1: a ninety billion dollar weapons purchase from the US made
8:14
Speaker 1: arms by European nations for Ukraine was one idea that
8:18
Speaker 1: was also floated, along with discussions on Ukrainian drone production
8:23
Speaker 1: backed by the United States of America. The NATO Security
8:28
Speaker 1: General characterize Trump's willingness to offer Article five type security
8:33
Speaker 1: guarantees as quote unquote a break through, and despite European calls,
8:39
Speaker 1: Trump downplayed the need for an immediate ceasefire, preferring a
8:43
Speaker 1: more gradual approach like a truce, is how the President
8:47
Speaker 1: described it. Obviously, that was something that was picked up
8:51
Speaker 1: in the meeting with Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska. I
8:56
Speaker 1: want to talk to you about my friends over at
8:58
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile. You've got a lot of choices for cell
9:01
Speaker 1: phone service, with new ones popping up all the time.
9:05
Speaker 1: But if you want to make a difference and you
9:07
Speaker 1: want to stop giving your money to liberal companies, well,
9:10
Speaker 1: one way you can do that is by getting rid
9:13
Speaker 1: of Liberal Mobile you probably have right now. That is
9:16
Speaker 1: where hundreds of thousands of Americans are now coming together
9:20
Speaker 1: and have made Patriot Mobile what they are today. They've
9:22
Speaker 1: been in service now for thirteen years, and right now
9:27
Speaker 1: is the best time ever to switch, because it's never
9:30
Speaker 1: been easier. Now, before I tell you about that, I
9:33
Speaker 1: want you to know why switching is so important. Because
9:36
Speaker 1: every time you make a call, every time you send
9:38
Speaker 1: a text, and every time that you pay your bill,
9:40
Speaker 1: you're actually standing up for the values you believe in
9:42
Speaker 1: your First and your Second Amendment rights, the rights of
9:45
Speaker 1: unborn children, and you stand with our military, our veterans,
9:49
Speaker 1: are wounded warriors, and our fallen soldier families because Patriot
9:53
Speaker 1: Mobile takes about five percent of your bill every month
9:55
Speaker 1: at no extra cost to you, and they give it
9:58
Speaker 1: back to these organizationtions a fight for our values. Now,
10:02
Speaker 1: let's talk about switching. It has never been easier. You
10:05
Speaker 1: can keep your same number, keep your same phone, or upgrade.
10:09
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile's got a one hundred percent US based customer
10:11
Speaker 1: service team and literally they can now with technology, get
10:15
Speaker 1: you activated in minutes from the comfort of your home
10:18
Speaker 1: or your office. You're second a contractor owe money on
10:21
Speaker 1: your phones, no worries. Patriot Mobile has a contract buyout
10:24
Speaker 1: program and this is how we win, folks by aligning
10:28
Speaker 1: our spinning with our values. Every dollar we spend matters. Now,
10:32
Speaker 1: let me also give you a free month of service.
10:35
Speaker 1: Go to Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson. That's Patriot Mobile
10:41
Speaker 1: dot com slash ferguson, or you can call them nine
10:44
Speaker 1: to seven to two Patriot use the promo code ferguson
10:49
Speaker 1: and you're gonna get one month free service by switching today.
10:52
Speaker 1: So again, Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson. Use the promo
10:56
Speaker 1: code ferguson. You'll get a free month of service today.
10:59
Speaker 1: Patriotmobile dot com slash Ferguson or nine to seven to Patriot.
11:03
Speaker 1: I want to also pivot to the larger meeting. And
11:07
Speaker 1: Donald Trump also made it clear in the larger meeting
11:12
Speaker 1: that there was the possibility of exchanges of territory with Russia.
11:17
Speaker 1: This is something that was clearly discussed with Zelenski, also
11:20
Speaker 1: with Vladimir Putin, and I want you to hear what
11:22
Speaker 1: the President had to say in his own words about that.
11:25
Speaker 2: The Alaska summit reinforced my belief that while difficult, pieces
11:29
Speaker 2: within reach. And I believe that in a very significant step,
11:33
Speaker 2: President Putin agreed that Russia would accept security guarantees for Ukraine.
11:39
Speaker 2: And this is one of the key points that we
11:41
Speaker 2: need to consider, and we're going to be considering that
11:44
Speaker 2: at the table also like who will do what. Essentially,
11:47
Speaker 2: I'm optimistic that collectively we can reach an agreement that
11:51
Speaker 2: would deter any future aggression against Ukraine, and I actually
11:55
Speaker 2: think there won't be. I think that's even overrated, largely overrated.
12:00
Speaker 2: But we're going to find out. And I think that
12:02
Speaker 2: the European nations are going to take a lot of
12:05
Speaker 2: the burden. We're going to help them, and we're going
12:08
Speaker 2: to make it very secure. We also need to discuss
12:11
Speaker 2: the possible exchanges of territory taken into consideration the current
12:16
Speaker 2: line of contact that means the war zone, the war
12:20
Speaker 2: lines center pretty obvious, very sad actually to look at them,
12:25
Speaker 2: and negotiating positions. President Putin. Also, you have president of
12:32
Speaker 2: Ukraine who is you just met a little while ago,
12:36
Speaker 2: and we're going to try and get a three party
12:40
Speaker 2: meeting maybe as soon as we can. And I have
12:43
Speaker 2: a feeling you and President Putin are going to work
12:45
Speaker 2: something out. Ultimately, this is a decision that can only
12:49
Speaker 2: be made by President Zelenski and by the people of
12:53
Speaker 2: Ukraine working also together in agreement with President Putin. And
12:58
Speaker 2: I just think that's very good. Things are going to
13:01
Speaker 2: come of it. So I hope we have a good meeting.
13:02
Speaker 2: And if we can have a good meeting, I'll set
13:05
Speaker 2: up a meeting with President Putin, and if you'd like,
13:09
Speaker 2: I'll go to that meeting. And not that I want
13:11
Speaker 2: to do that, but I will do that because we
13:14
Speaker 2: want to save a lot of people from dying. A
13:16
Speaker 2: lot of people are dying and we got.
13:18
Speaker 4: To save them.
13:19
Speaker 1: Now, the media, they're not happy that it looks like
13:21
Speaker 1: President Trump is moving towards peace between and brokering a
13:25
Speaker 1: deal between these two countries. Remember they're the same ones.
13:27
Speaker 1: It said that the Alaska meeting was Donald Trump quote
13:31
Speaker 1: being played by Vladimir Putin world leaders. That's not what
13:36
Speaker 1: they're saying. The Italian Prime minister saying this at the
13:40
Speaker 1: bigger meeting at the White House. I want you to
13:42
Speaker 1: listen carefully to how she described where we are now
13:46
Speaker 1: compared to where we were for the last three years.
13:50
Speaker 6: Well, thank you very much, Donald, mister President for hosting
13:53
Speaker 6: us today in this important meeting, and I think it
13:57
Speaker 6: is an important day, a new face. After three years
14:01
Speaker 6: and half that we didn't see any kind of sign
14:05
Speaker 6: from the Russian side that there was a willing for dialogue.
14:08
Speaker 6: So something is changing. Something has changed thanks to you,
14:13
Speaker 6: Thanks also to the starting in the battlefield, which was
14:18
Speaker 6: achieved with the bravery of Ukrainians and with the unity
14:22
Speaker 6: that we all provided to Ukraine. And the reason why
14:26
Speaker 6: I mentioned it is that we also have to remind
14:29
Speaker 6: that if we want to reach peace and if we
14:32
Speaker 6: want to guarantee justice, we have to do it united.
14:37
Speaker 6: So that's why it's a very good day, the one
14:42
Speaker 6: we are in. You can obviously count to Italy as
14:45
Speaker 6: it was from the beginning. We are on the side
14:47
Speaker 6: of Ukraine and we do absolutely support your efforts towards peace.
14:55
Speaker 6: We will talk about many important topics. The first one
15:00
Speaker 6: security guarantees, how to be sure that it won't happen again,
15:05
Speaker 6: which is the precondition of every kind of peace. I'm
15:08
Speaker 6: happy that we will discuss about that. I'm happy that
15:10
Speaker 6: we will begin from a proposal, which is the let's
15:14
Speaker 6: say Article five model, which was Italian at the beginning.
15:20
Speaker 6: So we are always ready to bring our proposals for
15:24
Speaker 6: peace for dialogue. It's something we have to build together
15:28
Speaker 6: to guarantee peace and to defend the security of our
15:31
Speaker 6: nation soul. Thank you, Misir President for hosting us.
15:34
Speaker 2: Thank you very much.
15:35
Speaker 1: For three years we haven't seen any willingness from Russians
15:40
Speaker 1: for dialogue. Something has changed thanks to you. That is
15:43
Speaker 1: the exact quote from the Italian Prime Minister. Donald Trump
15:46
Speaker 1: also wasn't done there. He had this to say to
15:49
Speaker 1: Zelenski about where this could move very quickly.
15:52
Speaker 2: We're going to try and get a three party meeting
15:56
Speaker 2: maybe as soon as we can. And I have a
15:59
Speaker 2: feeling you and President Putin are going to work something out. Ultimately,
16:03
Speaker 2: this is a decision that can only be made by
16:06
Speaker 2: President Zelenski and by the people of Ukraine working also
16:11
Speaker 2: together in agreement with President Putin.
16:14
Speaker 1: This is what the president does. This is what he
16:17
Speaker 1: does well, this is what he's good at. It's literally
16:20
Speaker 1: the art of the deal. Except this deal is going
16:23
Speaker 1: to save families and save lives. It's going to allow
16:27
Speaker 1: for Ukraine to get back to normal instead of a
16:29
Speaker 1: perpetual state of war with Russia. Francis McCrone to Trump
16:33
Speaker 1: saying this about what the rest of the world is
16:36
Speaker 1: saying right now because of his leadership as well.
16:39
Speaker 4: Thank you very much, Emmanuel, Thank you mister President for
16:43
Speaker 4: organizing this this meeting and for your commitments and everything
16:49
Speaker 4: was said that I have to I just have to
16:52
Speaker 4: say here, everybody.
16:53
Speaker 7: Around this table is in favor of peace, and we
16:57
Speaker 7: work very hard, and we've worked very hard the best
16:59
Speaker 7: few years to have a peace which is a robust
17:03
Speaker 7: and long standing piece. This is why the idea of
17:07
Speaker 7: a highlateral meeting is very important, because this is the
17:10
Speaker 7: only way to fix it. And by the way, I
17:13
Speaker 7: think as a follow up we would need probably a
17:16
Speaker 7: quadrilateral meeting because when we speak about security guarantees, we
17:19
Speaker 7: speak about the whole security of the European continents, and
17:23
Speaker 7: this is why we are all united here with Ukraine
17:26
Speaker 7: on this matter. In order to organize such a high
17:30
Speaker 7: lateral meeting, your idea to ask for a truth or
17:34
Speaker 7: at least to stop the killings as we discuss, is
17:37
Speaker 7: a necessity and we all support this idea. And in
17:42
Speaker 7: order to have such a long standing peace for Ukraine
17:45
Speaker 7: and for the whole continent, we do need the security guarantees.
17:49
Speaker 7: And the first one is clearly a credible Ukrainian army
17:53
Speaker 7: for the years and decades to come. And the second
17:56
Speaker 7: one is our own commitments, all of us, and we
18:00
Speaker 7: work very hard during the past few months among the
18:03
Speaker 7: coalitionion of the Winnings with the support of NATO to
18:06
Speaker 7: build the different panels of security guarantees and all commitments.
18:10
Speaker 7: And you can be sure that Europeans are very lucid
18:12
Speaker 7: about the fact that they have their first year in
18:15
Speaker 7: these security guarantees for Ukraine, but their own security is
18:19
Speaker 7: clearly at stake in this situation. So you can contin
18:23
Speaker 7: us as we can continue you in order to deliver
18:27
Speaker 7: this Obbost piece for both Ukraine and Europe.
18:30
Speaker 1: Peace for both Ukraine and also Europe. What you're hearing
18:35
Speaker 1: there from France and McCrone is he understands that this
18:40
Speaker 1: could get out of hand very very quickly. He understands
18:44
Speaker 1: that they need peace for all of Europe and this
18:47
Speaker 1: doesn't need to keep getting bigger. Ultimately, the President of
18:53
Speaker 1: United States America, Donald Trump, knows one thing. This peace
18:57
Speaker 1: still is not going to be done without Vladimir pe
19:00
Speaker 1: and agreeing to it, and also Zelensky agreeing to it.
19:03
Speaker 1: So the question is coming out of this meeting at
19:06
Speaker 1: the White House, the one on one was Zelensky and
19:09
Speaker 1: then the meeting with all of the world leaders, what
19:13
Speaker 1: was Zelensky's mindset? Does he want peace or does he
19:18
Speaker 1: want this three plus year ward to continue. I want
19:21
Speaker 1: you to listen to Zelensky in his own words at
19:24
Speaker 1: the White House. This is at the very end of
19:27
Speaker 1: the day after the meetings had taken place, and here
19:31
Speaker 1: is what he said to close it all out.
19:33
Speaker 6: Thank you so much.
19:34
Speaker 4: I can speak without my perform.
19:37
Speaker 7: Thank you so much.
19:38
Speaker 3: I think that we had a very good conversation with
19:41
Speaker 3: President Trump, very good and it really was the best
19:44
Speaker 3: one or sorry, maybe the best one will be in
19:47
Speaker 3: the future. But it was really good and we spoke
19:51
Speaker 3: about very sensitive points. The first one is security guaranties,
19:55
Speaker 3: and we are very happy with President that all the
19:58
Speaker 3: leaders are here, and the security in Ukraine depends on
20:02
Speaker 3: the United States and on you and on those leaders
20:06
Speaker 3: who are with us in our hearts. They have been
20:09
Speaker 3: online before yesterday and etc. So a lot of countries
20:13
Speaker 3: on the side of Ukraine, our people and all of
20:17
Speaker 3: us want to finish this word, stop Supprussian and stop
20:20
Speaker 3: this war. We spoke about it and we will speak
20:22
Speaker 3: more about security guarantees. This is very important that the
20:25
Speaker 3: United States gives such strong signal and is ready for
20:30
Speaker 3: security guarantees. The second point, or maybe the first humanitarian
20:36
Speaker 3: direction were important to change all the prisoners, and I
20:39
Speaker 3: think that President will help. And I was very thankful
20:42
Speaker 3: to your wife again, mister President, for the letter about
20:46
Speaker 3: our abductive children. And I hope that really it can
20:53
Speaker 3: be a historic role for the people to bring kids
20:57
Speaker 3: back to the families and be happy the people. This
21:02
Speaker 3: is so so important and I'm happy that we discussed
21:05
Speaker 3: it this track with the President Trump, and I hope
21:08
Speaker 3: that we will find decisions. And then what is very
21:14
Speaker 3: important that all the sensitive things territorial and et cetera.
21:18
Speaker 7: We we will.
21:20
Speaker 3: Discuss on the level of leaders during trilateral meeting and
21:24
Speaker 3: President Trump will try to organize such meeting. And he
21:30
Speaker 3: said that he will come or not come.
21:33
Speaker 7: Ukraine will be happy if if.
21:34
Speaker 4: You, if you, if you will be there.
21:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you, And I think this is very important. Yes,
21:41
Speaker 3: so security guarantees, bring his back and all our people,
21:46
Speaker 3: not only warriors first of all warriors and all the civilians, journalists,
21:51
Speaker 3: a lot of people in prison, so we need them
21:54
Speaker 3: back and guarantees which will.
21:57
Speaker 7: Work for the years.
21:58
Speaker 3: We spoke about it and I showed the President a
22:02
Speaker 3: lot of details on the battlefield on the map. Thank
22:06
Speaker 3: you so much. Thank you for the map, by the way,
22:09
Speaker 3: it was great. Yeah, I'm thinking how to take it back.
22:12
Speaker 4: We'll get John.
22:13
Speaker 2: No.
22:14
Speaker 3: I think that we had constructive, specific meeting and I'm
22:19
Speaker 3: very thankful to all the all the leaders who are here,
22:23
Speaker 3: and you help a lot, and so we're happy that
22:28
Speaker 3: we have.
22:28
Speaker 4: Such a peak unity today.
22:30
Speaker 7: Thank you, mister Pran, Thank you very much.
22:33
Speaker 2: I think you'll see that President Putin really would like
22:35
Speaker 2: to do something else. I think when we set that up,
22:40
Speaker 2: when we do I think it's going to be when
22:41
Speaker 2: not if I think you're going to see some very power,
22:45
Speaker 2: really positive moves.
22:47
Speaker 1: There's a couple of takeaways from what you just heard.
22:49
Speaker 1: Number One, the media they hate the President Trump is
22:53
Speaker 1: bringing these two countries closer to a piece agreement. They
22:57
Speaker 1: hate that they cannot continue to lie to you claiming
23:00
Speaker 1: that Vadimir Putin played Donald Trump. They hate the fact
23:05
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is respected by all of these world
23:09
Speaker 1: leaders who are saying to him, thank you, and we've
23:11
Speaker 1: never been closer in the last three years. And they
23:14
Speaker 1: would rather Donald Trump be a failure the Democratic Party
23:18
Speaker 1: and the media then stop the killing of so many
23:23
Speaker 1: people in Ukraine and in Russia. Let that sink in.
23:28
Speaker 1: That is what President Trump is up against, and that's
23:30
Speaker 1: what many conservatives are up against every single day by
23:34
Speaker 1: the people in our media and the Democratic Party in America.
23:38
Speaker 1: Right now, all right, I want to take a moment
23:40
Speaker 1: talk about the economy. You've been seeing what's happening on
23:42
Speaker 1: Wall Street. You've seen what's been happening with interest rates,
23:45
Speaker 1: and you've probably seen gold prices hitting all time record highs.
23:50
Speaker 1: Why Because there is uncertainty all over the world right now,
23:54
Speaker 1: and when there is uncertain times you want real answers
23:57
Speaker 1: about your financial stability. Well, at Kurt Elliott Precious Metals,
24:02

Speaker 1: with them. Now there's another part of the US that
26:00
Speaker 1: we need to also just understand. Trump arranging the Selenski
26:05
Speaker 1: Putin meeting was damn near impossible. He predicts not only
26:11
Speaker 1: that there will be a meeting, but he predicts there
26:14
Speaker 1: will be a deal within weeks. As the President confirmed
26:20
Speaker 1: that he called the Russian President Putin during his meeting
26:23
Speaker 1: today with European leaders and said that a sit down
26:27
Speaker 1: between Putin and Ukraine to end the war is quote
26:33
Speaker 1: being arranged during a day full of crunch peace talks
26:39
Speaker 1: with leaders in the United Kingdom, the European Union, NATO
26:42
Speaker 1: and Ukraine. It wasn't isolated from direct contact with Russia. Again,
26:47
Speaker 1: this goes back to the media lying to US President
26:50
Speaker 1: Trump broke off. We are now being told to personally
26:55
Speaker 1: call Moscow to arrange a bilateral meeting between Putin and
26:58
Speaker 1: Zelensky and an Ultimately, the goal is to set up
27:03
Speaker 1: a three way meeting in which he will act as
27:06
Speaker 1: a mediator for a final peace agreement. Now, before the
27:11
Speaker 1: breakthrough by the President on Monday afternoon, you have to understand,
27:15
Speaker 1: the Kremlin had been like going nuts and saying that
27:21
Speaker 1: they would not agree to any face to face talks
27:23
Speaker 1: with Zlensky, opting only to negotiate through the Trump and
27:27
Speaker 1: the White House, the President riding on true social quote.
27:31
Speaker 1: At the conclusion of the meetings, I called President Putin
27:34
Speaker 1: and began the arrangements for a meeting at a location
27:37
Speaker 1: to be determined between President Putin and President z Lensky.
27:41
Speaker 1: After that meeting takes place, we will have a trilateral meeting,
27:45
Speaker 1: which would be the two presidents plus myself. Again, this
27:49
Speaker 1: is a very good early step for a war that's
27:52
Speaker 1: been going on for almost four years. Vice President j
27:56
Speaker 1: d Vance, Secretary of Saint Marco Rubio, and Special Steve
28:01
Speaker 1: Witkoff are coordinating with Russia and Ukraine. Now. While European
28:06
Speaker 1: leaders such as the French President Macrone attempted to push
28:09
Speaker 1: for a quadrilateral meeting, it appears that this will not
28:14
Speaker 1: be on the cards. Similarly, it appears that demands from
28:18
Speaker 1: the German chancellor for a ceasefire before final negotiations in
28:22
Speaker 1: the war were also rebuffed by President Trump. This is
28:26
Speaker 1: again coming out of the meeting. Now, the movement towards
28:30
Speaker 1: a peace deal was as you heard, it was celebrated
28:35
Speaker 1: by European leaders. The Finnish president, whose nation shares a
28:40
Speaker 1: long border with Russia, remarked per the Times of London quote,
28:43
Speaker 1: in the past two weeks, we've probably had more progress
28:46
Speaker 1: in ending this war than we have had in the
28:48
Speaker 1: past three and a half years. Now, though some sticking
28:53
Speaker 1: points remain to be negotiated between Ukraine and Russia and
28:58
Speaker 1: mainly the territory in NATO man membership, it appears that
29:01
Speaker 1: American commitment to provide some major security guarantees is really
29:08
Speaker 1: what is pushed the negotiations forward when it comes to
29:11
Speaker 1: Ukraine and Zelensky. Without providing too much detail on the
29:15
Speaker 1: extent of possible US involvement in a peace scenario. Quote.
29:19
Speaker 1: President Trump said that the guarantees would be provided by
29:23
Speaker 1: the various European countries with coordination with the United States.
29:28
Speaker 1: President Trump also predicted that he expects a deal to
29:31
Speaker 1: be struck in the coming week, saying, per euro News quote,
29:35
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any issue that's overly complex. It's
29:40
Speaker 1: at a point now where people want to do things.
29:43
Speaker 1: I've known him for a long time. I've always had
29:45
Speaker 1: a great relationship with him. I think that President Putin
29:48
Speaker 1: wants to find an answer to and we'll see in
29:51
Speaker 1: a certain period of time, not very far from now,
29:54
Speaker 1: a week or two weeks, we're going to know whether
29:56
Speaker 1: or not we're going to solve this. We'll do our
29:59
Speaker 1: best to get to end it. And I believe we
30:00
Speaker 1: have two willing parties. And that is where it comes
30:04
Speaker 1: back home. President of United States of America made it
30:07
Speaker 1: clear that he was going to be a president of peace.
30:09
Speaker 1: He wanted to broker these types of deals if he
30:11
Speaker 1: was elected. He wanted to move forward to make sure
30:15
Speaker 1: that this was something that could happen and it could
30:17
Speaker 1: be real, something that Joe Biden could never get. And
30:21
Speaker 1: that is exactly why I voted for him, and I
30:24
Speaker 1: hope you did as well. Don't forget share this podcast
