WEBVTT - Single Best Idea with Tom Keene: Angela Stent

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:16.759
<v Speaker 2>The single best idea and on short notice with the

0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:20.680
<v Speaker 2>shocking headlines out this weekend, the team put together a

0:00:20.720 --> 0:00:25.320
<v Speaker 2>great set of conversations on this historic, truly historic moment

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:30.040
<v Speaker 2>in Washington. I think it's in the summer August ninety degrees.

0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Everybody doing what you do in the middle of August.

0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.440
<v Speaker 2>It's all crept up on us. The gathering of NATO

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:41.080
<v Speaker 2>leaders in Washington today on an emergency basis, We've never

0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 2>seen this, back to the Atlanta Charter of nineteen forty one.

0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:48.320
<v Speaker 2>We chose to speak to Angela's Stent. She's at the

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Brookings Institution with decades of experience, including the late Marshall Goldman.

0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 2>I would say definitive on Russia, on Eastern Europe and

0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:03.840
<v Speaker 2>NATO diploma. See Angela's stent. On the distance from Anchorage

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 2>to Washington.

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 3>It's going to be very difficult.

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:10.600
<v Speaker 3>President Trump completely reversed himself. He went into the discussions

0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:13.679
<v Speaker 3>in Alaska saying they had to be a ceasefire first,

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 3>and then they discussed the conditions. And now so, I mean,

0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 3>the thing that the Europeans and Ukraine have to do

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 3>today is to persuade President Trump that that's just not

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:28.200
<v Speaker 3>viable and that they have to push for a ceasefire.

0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 2>First, we continue with Angela's st Paul Sweeney asked her

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:37.479
<v Speaker 2>about Congress and people in the Republican Party who fled

0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 2>out disagree with their president.

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 3>We know that a number of the US Senators, including Republicans,

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:47.480
<v Speaker 3>were very concerned about what happened in Alaska and about

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 3>President Trump really seving Putin what Putin wanted. So there

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 3>is the question is will the Congress stand up and

0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:01.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, try and persuade the Trump administrationarticularly the Republicans

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 3>at Congress that they have to really profress.

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:09.920
<v Speaker 2>On and Angela's stent of the Brookings Institution, We're on

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:14.799
<v Speaker 2>podcasts on Apple, on Spotify, and on YouTube podcasts. It's

0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:16.200
<v Speaker 2>single best idea.
