1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: Did you see that Hillary Clinton yesterday said that if 2 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: you got this deal done and not capitulate to Putin, 3 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: that she would nominate you for the Nobel Peace Price. 4 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 2: At President Trump were the architect of that, I'd nominate 5 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,639 Speaker 2: him for a Nobel Peace Prize. 6 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 3: Well, that was very nice. 7 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: I may have to shug liking her again. 8 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 4: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson. 9 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 2: Good Monday morning. It's nights. Have you with us on 10 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 2: the forty seven Morning Update, and we've got one major 11 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 2: story for you, Donald Trump moving towards peace, brokering a 12 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 2: deal between Ukraine and Russia and hosting Zelensky. So why 13 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 2: is the media acting like it's already a failure before 14 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 2: the meeting even happened, because they hate Trump more than 15 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 2: they want peace. We break it all down for you, 16 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 2: but first I want to talk to you about my 17 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 2: friends over at Patriot Mobile.

It's the 57 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 2: forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now. 58 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 4: Story number one. 59 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 2: We've got a major story that we've got to talk 60 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 2: and I've got all the information you're gonna need and 61 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 2: it deals with Vladimir Putin, Ukraine Zelensky and Donald Trump. 62 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 2: As you know, the summit took place on August the 63 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 2: fifteenth and Anchorage, Alaska, and officials present, including Marco Ruvio 64 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 2: and many of the envoy on the US side said 65 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 2: that there was real progress that was made. Democrats in 66 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 2: the media, of course, using the Sunday morning shows to 67 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 2: lie to the American people. We also now know through 68 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 2: sources the territorial proposals have been floated. In fact, quote, 69 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 2: a potential peace framework is emerging. Putin reportedly offered to 70 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 2: withdraw from small areas in southern Sumi and other areas 71 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 2: in exchange for larger concessions from Ukraine. However, the ideas 72 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: remain controversial and unresolved. Notably, Russia wants Ukraine to renounce 73 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 2: NATO membership, partially lift sanctions, and acknowledge Russian sovereignty over CRIMEA. 74 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 2: Ukraine firmly rejecting these conditions publicly today. But then there's 75 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 2: where are we actually compared to the posturing in public. Well, 76 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 2: one of the things we are learning about is security guarantees. 77 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 2: In a notable development, Putin apparently agreed to allow the 78 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 2: US and Europe to offer Ukraine NATO's style quote unquote 79 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 2: security guarantees ach into Article five protections. That is a 80 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 2: historic shift in Russia's posture. Now there is no agreement yet, 81 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 2: despite Donald Trump calling the talks productive, and the media 82 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,679 Speaker 2: is saying they're a failure. This seems to be working 83 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 2: towards a real formal agreement, and both sides are acknowledging 84 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 2: that major points will have to be discussed, but they're 85 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 2: willing to do it, all right. I want you to 86 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 2: hear what Marco Rubio had to say. He was on 87 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,239 Speaker 2: face the nation Democrats saying that Donald Trump got played 88 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 2: by Vladimir Putin. It's absurd. They weren't in the room. 89 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 2: No he didn't, but there's nothing to say that that's 90 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 2: actually what happened. 91 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 5: Now. 92 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 2: Of course, the media is running with it because that's 93 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 2: what Democrats are saying, and why because they would rather 94 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 2: score political points against Aunt Trump then stop the senseless 95 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 2: killing between Russia and Ukraine, with the innocent children and 96 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 2: women and seniors and men and women in general that 97 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 2: are being forced to fight in this war. I want 98 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 2: you to hear the Secretary of State Rubio on Ukraine 99 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 2: and what he says. This meeting with Zelenski is going 100 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 2: to really look like this week, Miley. 101 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 6: If Vladimir Putin is going to be offered land that 102 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 6: he has not seized yet but negotiates his way into, 103 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 6: doesn't this set a dangerous precedent that the United States 104 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 6: now accepts this concept that it is okay to seize 105 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 6: land by force. 106 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 5: Well, Putin's already sees land by force, and that in 107 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 5: and of itself is not a positive president. 108 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 3: This whole war. Are you demanding a withdrawal for president? 109 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 5: Well, again, here's the In order to have a deal 110 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 5: here to end, to reach the end of this conflict, 111 00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 5: both sides are going to have to make concessions. 112 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 3: That's just a fact. 113 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 5: Any negotiation, no, no, but if but this is not 114 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 5: about accepting. This is about what Ukraine can accept and 115 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 5: what Russia can accept. They both have to accept it, 116 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 5: otherwise there won't be a peace deal. Okay, if there 117 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 5: aren't concessions. If one side gets everything they want, that's 118 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 5: called surrender. That's called the end of the war through surrender, 119 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 5: and not what we're close to doing anything close to it. 120 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 3: So in order for there to be a peace deal, 121 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,559 Speaker 3: this is just a fact. Like it. 122 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 5: It may not, it may be distaste, but in order 123 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 5: for there to be an end of the war, there 124 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 5: are things Russia wants that it cannot get, and there 125 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 5: are things Ukraine wants that it's not going to get. 126 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 5: Both sides are going to have to give up something 127 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 5: in order to get to the table in order to 128 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 5: make this happens. That's just the way it is, and 129 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 5: I mean, the sooner we accept that that's the reality. 130 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 5: Now what those things are, it's going to be up 131 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 5: to both sides. There's no conditions that can be imposed 132 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 5: on Ukraine. They're going to have to accept things, but 133 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 5: they're going to have to get things too. And so 134 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 5: for example, Ukraine is a sovereign country. They have a 135 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 5: right like every sovereign country does in the world, to 136 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 5: have the enter into security alliances with other countries to 137 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 5: prevent an invasion in the future, to prevent threats to 138 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 5: the national security. That's not an unreasonable record us. That's 139 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 5: something needs to be worked on. Territories will have to 140 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 5: be discussed. It's just a fact. And there are things 141 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 5: that maybe Russia's holding now that they're going to have 142 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 5: to give up. 143 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 3: Who knows. 144 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 5: The point is we need to create a scenario where 145 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 5: that becomes possible. And that's why this has been so hard, 146 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 5: because neither side up to now has been willing to 147 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 5: give on some of these things. 148 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 3: But we'll see if that's possible. 149 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 5: It may not be, but we're going to try and 150 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 5: we're going to do everything we can to try to 151 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 5: achieve a peace. 152 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 2: Now, think about what Marco Rubio just said there. He 153 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 2: says we're moving towards peace. Why would anyone want a 154 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 2: root against that? Why would you want to root against 155 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 2: President Donald Trump? If he is able to get these 156 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 2: parties to the table, which, by the way, is exactly 157 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 2: what he's moving towards right now, getting closer than anybody 158 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 2: else has, and he now has at least a framework, 159 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 2: and that is part of what Marco Rubio also said 160 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 2: on Face the Nation, reminding the host we are moving forward, 161 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 2: whether you like it or not. 162 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 6: Ask about the security that you just mentioned there, because 163 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 6: Italy's Prime minister says that President Trump provide the idea 164 00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 6: of security guarantees inspired by NATO's Article five and a 165 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 6: collective security clause that would involve the United States. How 166 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 6: does that work? Are these US troops that we're going. 167 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 3: To mons, Well, that's what we're going to be working on. 168 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 3: That's why. 169 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 5: That's one of the reasons why you know, I talked 170 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 5: yesterday to all the national security advisors and a bunch 171 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 5: of them from the different European countries. There are European 172 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,239 Speaker 5: leaders coming here tomorrow, Heads of state coming tomorrow along 173 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 5: with President Zelensky to discuss this in more detail. I mean, 174 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 5: the constructs of something like this needs to be built out. 175 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 5: One's a concept is one thing. The reality you know, 176 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 5: how it's built and how it would work is another. 177 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 5: But those are the kinds of talks that we're going 178 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 5: to be having with them, along with some of the 179 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 5: other issues that are at play. But that that is 180 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 5: one of the if you were to break this thing down. 181 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 5: I mean, there are obviously there needs to be an 182 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 5: agreement on territories and where the lines are going to 183 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 5: be drawn. 184 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 3: That's not going to be very easy. That's going to 185 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 3: be tough. 186 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 5: I think there has to be some discussion about security 187 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 5: guarantees for Ukraine because they don't want this war, None 188 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 5: of us want to see this war in the future. 189 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 5: They're a sovereign country. They have a right to have 190 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 5: security agreement with other countries and security alliances with other countries. 191 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 5: And then there's the whole issue in construction, how do 192 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 5: you rebuild the country? Well, potentially, like I said, that's 193 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 5: what we're going to be having a conversation about, and 194 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 5: that's what we're going to be meeting. That's why they're 195 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 5: all coming here tomorrow, and that's why we've been talking 196 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 5: on the phone for the last forty eight hours with. 197 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 3: Them, and even leading up to it throughout the week, there. 198 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 5: Were various meetings just to sort of build out some 199 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 5: of these ideas. So all of these right now are ideas. 200 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 5: There are concepts that require some more specificity. We'll need 201 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 5: to work with our partners to see what that looks like. 202 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 5: And I think that's an area where potential progress is real. 203 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 5: But that alone won't be enough. There's a bunch of 204 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 5: other things that have to be worked through. 205 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 3: Here. 206 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 2: We're going to be working right Notice how he's like, 207 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 2: we have things to work through. There's no way everything 208 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 2: could be agreed to to stop a multi year war 209 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 2: in a three hour time span when only one of 210 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 2: the two parties is in the room with President Trump. 211 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 2: You think about their definitive success. It was an immediate 212 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 2: end of the war, a ceasefire immediately. When Donald Trump 213 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 2: walked out of that meeting in Alaska. That was never 214 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 2: going to happen. Everyone knows that was never going to happen. 215 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 2: There are concessions that may need to be made. There 216 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 2: are security guarantees that need to be made. And this 217 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 2: goes back to how much the media hates Donald Trump. 218 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 2: They would rather him fail then stop the senseless killing 219 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 2: around the world. Now here's something else that also. Senor 220 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 2: Rubio said that it's important listen carefully. 221 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 3: Aim any concessions that Vladimir Putin made during this meeting. 222 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 3: Has he any prog of any concession in your program? 223 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 3: Why would I do that? Where is the quessure? Because 224 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 3: you can't have a piece agreement. 225 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 5: Now, you can't have a piece agreement unless both sides 226 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 5: give and get. You can't have a piece agreement unless 227 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 5: both sides make concessions. That's a fact, that's true, and 228 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 5: virtually any negotiation if not, it's just called surrender. And 229 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 5: neither side is going to surrender. So both sides are 230 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 5: going to have to make concessions. So of course concessions 231 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 5: were asked. But what utility would there be of me 232 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 5: going on a program and tell you we've wagged our 233 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 5: finger at Putin. 234 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 3: And told them you must do this and you must 235 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 3: do that. 236 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,559 Speaker 5: It's only make it's only going to make it harder 237 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 5: and less likely that they're going to agree to these things. 238 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 5: So these negotiations, as much as everyone would love it 239 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,839 Speaker 5: to be a live, pay per view event, these discussions 240 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 5: only work best when they are conducted privately. Negotiation serious 241 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 5: negotiations in which people who have to go back and 242 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 5: respond to constituencies, because even solitarian governments have constituencies they 243 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 5: have to respond to. People have to go back and 244 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 5: defend these agreements that they make and so and figure 245 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 5: out a way to explain them to people. So we 246 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 5: need to create space for concessions to be made. But 247 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 5: of course the concessions were asked. 248 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 2: Of course concessions were asked. We work and do these 249 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 2: discussions in private. Isn't it amazing how the media they 250 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 2: believe they're so important that they should be in the 251 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 2: middle of negotiations between Russia, Ukraine, the EU and the 252 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 2: United States of America. Leave it to the liberal media 253 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 2: to act like this while also hoping that the president fails. 254 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 2: The good news is the meetings are continuing and it 255 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 2: looks like President Trump is getting closer to peace, certainly 256 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 2: than anyone else has been able to do in the world. 257 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 4: Thank you for listening to the forty seven Morning Update 258 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 4: with Ben Ferguson.
