Speaker 1: You're listening to a podcast from News Talks. They'd be
Speaker 1: follow this and our Wide Ranger podcast now on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Yes, and it's Sir Richard Arnold.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Good morning, Tim.
Speaker 2: So Ukraine attacks more taxs on civilian targets, that's.
Speaker 1: Right, man. Trump's social media post today Vladimir stop in
Speaker 1: all caps, may turn out to be one of the
Speaker 1: signal moments of his presidency. It came just hours after
Speaker 1: Trump rushed out at Ukrainian leader Zelensky for refusing to
Speaker 1: surrender to basically all of the demands made by Russia's Putin,
Speaker 1: Trump insisting a piece dealers close, and Russia launched this
Speaker 1: biggest attack in almost a year in defiance of all
Speaker 1: that rush of firing seventy missiles, one hundred and forty
Speaker 1: five drones, hitting five residential neighborhoods and killing twelve people
Speaker 1: and wounding at least ninety others. It was not a bloodbath,
Speaker 1: starting at one in the morning, sending civilians scrambling into
Speaker 1: whatever shelters they could find. Those are some of the blasts.
Speaker 1: Earlier this week. On Palm Sunday, Russia targeted worshipers, killing
Speaker 1: thirty people at that occasion. In a rare rebuke, Trump
Speaker 1: posted that he is not happy with these latest attacks.
Speaker 1: It is not necessary, says Trump, who then wrote on
Speaker 1: social media, vladimirs stopped five thousand soldiers a week, are dying.
Speaker 1: Let's get the peace still done. French President McCrone says
Speaker 1: Putin should stop lying when he claims to want peace.
Speaker 1: President Trump says he still thinks both sides want to
Speaker 1: seas fire. Then this morning, Trump added, at a meeting
Speaker 1: with Norway's leader, I.
Speaker 3: Have my own deadline, and we wanted to be fast,
Speaker 3: and the Prime Minister is helping us. So we have
Speaker 3: a deadline. And after that we have it, we're going
Speaker 3: to have a very much different.
Speaker 1: Attitude, whatever that means. Former NATO Chief General Wes Clark says,
Speaker 1: the word is that Trump wants to deal pretty soon,
Speaker 1: maybe before the end of this month. Doesn't look like
Speaker 1: it now, does it. Putin has made no concessions, even
Speaker 1: as the US already has conceded on territory and on
Speaker 1: denial of NATO membership. For you, it's President Lensky says
Speaker 1: that seeding crimet a Rushia is a non startup and
Speaker 1: against the Ukrainian constitution. General Clark is saying.
Speaker 4: I think we're at a real break point here in
Speaker 4: the next two days, maybe weeks on US commitment to Europe,
Speaker 4: and I think if we back away, we'll be looking
Speaker 4: at major conflicts in Europe.
Speaker 1: Well that's ahnomenous point of view, isn't it very different
Speaker 1: from what Trump said during his campaign. Of course, I will.
Speaker 3: Have it solved in twenty four hours with Zelensky and
Speaker 3: with Putin, and there's a very easy negotiation to take place.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 1: Trump has said today that at first he saw all
Speaker 1: of this as being about money. Now he sees that
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of troops and others are being killed.
Speaker 3: You know, I shouted out because I didn't like all
Speaker 3: the money that we were paying, and then I realized
Speaker 3: how many people were dying.
Speaker 1: Seriously, he's just coming to this, sir.
Speaker 2: I can't get my hand around it, hit around it,
Speaker 2: and the tariff swell, the merry go round continues. Where
Speaker 2: are we at with that?
Speaker 1: Boy? Yeah, you got to catch it while you can,
Speaker 1: don't you as blinking on all of this. When it
Speaker 1: comes to China, the White House saying the two leading
Speaker 1: economies are actively discussing the triple digit tariff that Trump
Speaker 1: imposed with China. Beijing says not happening. That is false.
Speaker 1: China says it will not negotiate under pressure. They've returned
Speaker 1: some Boeing jets. They've cut off some soybean supplies the sales. Meantime,
Speaker 1: the bosses of Walmart, Target and other US chains have
Speaker 1: been at the White House warning that some shells could
Speaker 1: be empty of imported products within weeks. Some tariff exceptions
Speaker 1: now are being considered. This after course, Trump also backed
Speaker 1: off his threat to sack the head of the FED
Speaker 1: the US Central Bank, J. Powell, after the S and
Speaker 1: P index on Wall Street went down by ten percent.
Speaker 1: And now Ken Griffin, who is a leading Trump backer
Speaker 1: and head of the Citadel hedge Fund Wall Street, says
Speaker 1: he is worried that financial reputation of America could be
Speaker 1: damaged long term. He says, you turnish that brand, it
Speaker 1: can be a lifetime to repair the damage that has
Speaker 1: been done. So that's the message being sent out by
Speaker 1: Wall Street now. Tim While home sales get these numbers,
Speaker 1: home sales here down to the lowest point since nine
Speaker 1: and forty two percent of young folks in this country
Speaker 1: say they are quote barely getting by blimey.
Speaker 2: Oh well, the good news this is it's keeping you busy,
Speaker 2: isn't it, Richard? So thanks for your time. Okay, as
Speaker 2: Richard Arnold, I mean, seriously, if the US correspondent, you
Speaker 2: have to be the busy, one of the busiest guys
Speaker 2: on the planet. Right now.
