1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: Rich and anold good Monday morning, very good morning, make

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: peace talks? Who's there? And how's it all in? Do

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: we reckon? Well?

4
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 2: They're good questions, don't have all the answers. The Ukraine

5
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 2: War of Plemacy really is off to a confusing starting place,

6
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 2: with the Trump team headed to Saudi Arabia supposed to

7
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 2: begin these talks, but without Ukraine, with who knows who

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 2: on the Russian side. Marco Rubio, the new US Secretary

9
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 2: of State, is being pretty vague right now about what

10
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: is intended.

11
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: One meeting isn't going to solve it.

12
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 2: But I want to reiterate the President made clear who

13
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: wants to.

14
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: End this war.

15
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: Well, aw Ukrainian official says this announcement of Saudi talks

16
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: is a surprise to them. They have no plans to

17
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 2: send the delegation. There are also no plans for reps

18
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: of major European powers to join talks. This after the

19
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 2: Trump foreign policy crew well pretty much teed off European

20
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 2: political and military leaders in Munich, didn't they? As Vice

21
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: President J. D. Vance on his first big foreign policy

22
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: joint left n allies stunned when he attacked European policies

23
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: and made no mention of the Russia Ukraine war at all.

24
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: The threat that I worry the most about visa the

25
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: Europe is not Russia, it's not China, it's not any

26
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: other external actor. And what I worry about is the

27
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: threat from within.

28
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 2: Those comments went down like a rock. Germany Chancellor Olive

29
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: Schultz said there will be no dictated peace for Ukraine,

30
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: and he slammed the United States Corps for Germany to

31
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 2: open the door to neo Nazi style politics and politicians.

32
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: In an interview with America's NBC Network Today, Ukraine's President

33
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: Zelenski is offering his own rebuke about seemingly being sidelined.

34
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 3: I will never accept any decisions between the United States

35
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 3: and Russia about Ukraine. Never and our people never an

36
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 3: our adults and children and everybody. It's kind be so

37
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 3: this is the war in Ukraine against us, and it's

38
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 3: our human losses.

39
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: The Trump team drew heated criticism, even from some Republicans,

40
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: for endorsing Russian talking points on the future of Ukraine

41
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: and its demand for security guarantee. Says Zelenski, they don't

42
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: have a real because they can't have it with Altars.

43
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: Zelenski says Putin, simply, in his view, is playing political

44
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: games and biding his time in his sports.

45
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 3: Because he brilliant now mobilized forty five thousand people each month,

46
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 3: but he was to prepare where he trained well trained people.

47
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: So we're not even at the starting box with Zelenski

48
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 2: now is calling for what he describes as an army

49
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: of Europe to take on Russia without the United States.

50
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: So what does that say for NATO, which has been,

51
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: of course force for peace since the end of World

52
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: War Two. Ukraine also has rejected an American corps for

53
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: a fifty percent stake in Ukraine's earth minerals. Trump team

54
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 2: floated this sort as part of their peace efforts. Lenski's

55
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: saying no Russian security agreement, no deal.

56
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: Then we come to the jobs per g irs IRIS

57
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: next in line.

58
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Eland must campaign by doze or doggies take

59
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: it to calling it so he could be focused on

60
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 2: the tax office. They planned to sack thousands of tax

61
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: office workers. This is the IRIS is big season. The

62
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 2: last could start this week. We don't know exactly how many.

63
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 2: As they moved to downsize government, tax workers thought that

64
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 2: they would be fine with this, but they've been told

65
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: they cannot accept any job buy out effort from the

66
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: Trump team until after this year's tax filing deadline in

67
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 2: mid April. Fourteen states challenging the authority of Musk's minions

68
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 2: to do all of this, But so far, got to say,

69
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 2: legal system continues to grind very slowly.

70
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: Good on you, mate, We'll catch up on Wednesday. Appreciate it.
