1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: We may have a deal finally. So we had a 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: twenty eight point plan that was last week, which then 3 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: became a twenty six point plan, and now apparently the 4 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: Ukrainian delegation meeting with Marco Rubio, Secretary of State Steve Witkoff, 5 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: Trump's key negotiator on Ukraine, have hammered out a nineteen 6 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: point piece deal that the Ukrainians say they can live with. 7 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: The question now is will Putin finally agree as well. 8 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: At the heart of the plan is that Ukraine would 9 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: be willing to make territorial concessions in what's called the 10 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: don Bass Region, basically the part of eastern Ukraine occupied 11 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: by Madarasha by Putin and his forces. It also would 12 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: preclude Ukraine from joining NATO, so Putin could point to 13 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: two concrete objectives. However, what the plan does not do, 14 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: and what the Russians want, is give up other territory 15 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: in the Donbas region that the Ukrainians still hold. Some 16 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: of these are heavily fortified cities, and that the Russians 17 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: have not been able to take at least so far 18 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: on the battlefield. Putin wants the Ukrainians to hand over 19 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: that territory Zelensky has said yet furthermore, this plan will 20 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: have Western European and American peacekeepers in Ukraine with some 21 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: kind of a security guarantee for the Russians and for Putin. 22 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: That is a huge nyet. So again, can we square 23 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: the circle now? Look, I'm like Trump, I hate to 24 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: see the carnage, the killings, the casualties, what this war 25 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: has done to you in particular, but also so many 26 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: Russian soldiers being sent home in body bags. It is 27 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: a bloodbath, the worst war in Europe by far since 28 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: the end of World War II. But in the end, 29 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: whether the Russians or the Ukrainians want to make peace 30 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: is up to them. There's nothing much Trump or Rubio 31 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: or the United States can do. If both sides want 32 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: to continue to fight. You can be the most honest 33 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: broker in the world. It still doesn't matter. And so 34 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: my advice to the President for the last time, say 35 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 1: you made your final effort. It's a take it or 36 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: leave it deal. If you want peace, it takes concessions, 37 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: compromises on both sides. But if the Russians and the 38 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: Ukrainians insist on butchering each other, it's time for Trump 39 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: to come home home. Forget trying to end this war 40 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 1: and focus on problems here, because believe me, we've got 41 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:14,679 Speaker 1: more than enough problems to deal with. The Russia Ukraine 42 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: war was ultimately Biden's war. Trump is trying to clean 43 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 1: up Biden's mess. His intentions are noble, and I hope 44 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: he succeeds. But if this peace deal fails, then get 45 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: the hell out of the don Bass and let the 46 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: Russians and the Ukrainians fight it out, and whoever wins wins, 47 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: and whoever loses loses. It's time to finally put America first.
