1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 2: The single best idea and on short notice with the

3
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 2: shocking headlines out this weekend, the team put together a

4
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 2: great set of conversations on this historic, truly historic moment

5
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: in Washington. I think it's in the summer August ninety degrees.

6
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 2: Everybody doing what you do in the middle of August.

7
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 2: It's all crept up on us. The gathering of NATO

8
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: leaders in Washington today on an emergency basis, We've never

9
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: seen this, back to the Atlanta Charter of nineteen forty one.

10
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 2: We chose to speak to Angela's Stent. She's at the

11
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: Brookings Institution with decades of experience, including the late Marshall Goldman.

12
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: I would say definitive on Russia, on Eastern Europe and

13
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: NATO diploma. See Angela's stent. On the distance from Anchorage

14
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: to Washington.

15
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 3: It's going to be very difficult.

16
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: You know.

17
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 3: President Trump completely reversed himself. He went into the discussions

18
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 3: in Alaska saying they had to be a ceasefire first,

19
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 3: and then they discussed the conditions. And now so, I mean,

20
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 3: the thing that the Europeans and Ukraine have to do

21
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 3: today is to persuade President Trump that that's just not

22
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 3: viable and that they have to push for a ceasefire.

23
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: First, we continue with Angela's st Paul Sweeney asked her

24
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 2: about Congress and people in the Republican Party who fled

25
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: out disagree with their president.

26
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 3: We know that a number of the US Senators, including Republicans,

27
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 3: were very concerned about what happened in Alaska and about

28
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 3: President Trump really seving Putin what Putin wanted. So there

29
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 3: is the question is will the Congress stand up and

30
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 3: you know, try and persuade the Trump administrationarticularly the Republicans

31
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 3: at Congress that they have to really profress.

32
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 2: On and Angela's stent of the Brookings Institution, We're on

33
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 2: podcasts on Apple, on Spotify, and on YouTube podcasts. It's

34
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: single best idea.
