1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: Who didn't see the Trump Zelenski meltdown coming. I did. 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: I knew this was going to be a disaster right 3 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: from the start. Didn't expect so much drama. The whole 4 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,640 Speaker 1: thing for a week or so more has been a 5 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: show for the crowds and not a real play for peace. 6 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 1: Because it was obvious before the summit. President Zelensky made 7 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: it very clear that he wants US cease fire but 8 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: with security guarantees, and President Trump made it very clear 9 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: that he wants to see fire, but he wouldn't give 10 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: security guarantees. That's the heart of the matter, that is 11 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: the heart of it. Reportedly, America told Zelenski not to 12 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,879 Speaker 1: mention the security guarantees at the press conference. But as 13 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: I say, that is the heart of Zelensky's possession. He 14 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 1: does not trust Putin because they've had US cease fire 15 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 1: with Putin before that Putin promptly broke. Why would you 16 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: trust Vladimir I Remember, this isn't a conflict that's three 17 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: years old. This has been going on since twenty fourteen 18 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: in various guyses. So Trump made it very clear he 19 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: wants out and he wants a payoff of minerals for everything. 20 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: That US has put in so far, and remember he 21 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 1: has a mandate for that. He campaigned on it, he's 22 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: been public about it the whole way he got the vote. 23 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 1: So when they met and the press started recording, Trump 24 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: and Vance spoke as though their plan was a fader complete, 25 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: but it wasn't. Ukraine always said no security guarantee, no deal. 26 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 1: So when Zelensky started reminding him or both of them 27 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: of what happened in the past, Trump Advance went two 28 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: on one, didn't they And they bullied and the gave 29 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: him a lesson. It was school yard stuff, beating up 30 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: an immigrant kid with English as a second language, and 31 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: the Americans loved it. And that's who Trump and Vance 32 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,199 Speaker 1: were actually playing to the American public, the American public 33 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: that voted for Trump, that are sick of trillions of 34 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: their dollars going to a place they barely know. The 35 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: American public is now saying Zelensky wants to continue with 36 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: the war, but that's not so. He wants a peace. 37 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: He wants a ceased fire, but with a security guarantee. 38 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: He doesn't want a piece that lasts for just a week. 39 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: So Putin must be loving this. America is now seemed 40 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: to be selfish, irrelevant and looking after itself, while Europe's 41 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: under investment in defense is clearing. Europe is prepared to 42 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: ensure the peace, but America is not. And by the way, 43 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: can I please remind everyone who goes on about Zelensky 44 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: being not in a suit that back in the day, 45 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: when Winston Churchill went to Washington to convince America to 46 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: enter World War Two, he came dressed in a military 47 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: boiler suit, and that was to signify he was in 48 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: an actual war, which the Americans weren't. Zelensky is in 49 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: an actual war. Trump and Vans are not. For more 50 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: from Early edition with Ryan Bridge.
