The 5 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: President has this conversation. We do have a readout of 6 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: the conversation that took place today, and joining us to 7 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: discuss and talk about it is Rebecca Koffler, strategic military 8 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: intelligence analyst, formerly with the US Defense Intelligence Agency. She 9 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: is the author of the best selling book Putin's Playbook. 10 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 1: Great to have you back, Rebecca. I'm sure you've read 11 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: the readout as I did. What is your overall take 12 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: on it? 13 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 2: Well, Sean, I'll cut to the change here and mentioned 14 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 2: the most important thing, which is a huge accomplishment by 15 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 2: President Donald Trump. There's a lot of love from this reader. 16 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 2: Typical Russian diplow talk. But here and I'm going to 17 00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 2: quote the most important part. In the context of the 18 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 2: President's initiative to introduce a thirty day Truth, the Russian 19 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 2: side identified a number of significant points. The agreement was 20 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 2: made that there will their mutual refusal of the parties 21 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 2: to the conference to strike energy infrastructure facilities for thirty 22 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 2: days blackmail, who responded positively to this initiative and immediately 23 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 2: gave the Russian military the appropriate command. This is why, 24 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 2: here's why it's important shown the Russians have been pounding 25 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 2: Ukrainian infrastructure for three years to the point where fifty 26 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 2: percent of it is destroyed. And that is the assessment 27 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 2: of the United Nations. Why is that because Susan wants 28 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 2: to make Ukrainian's lives and living hell. I frankly, as 29 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 2: an intelligence self stuff, I was not anticipating this kind 30 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 2: of breakthrough that Doald Trump made it happen. 31 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 3: Well. 32 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: The readout specifically says, I know the provision in which 33 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: you are referring to, and in this is in response 34 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: to the President's recent appeal to save lives in Ukrainian 35 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: servicemen surrounding the Kursk region, where there were reports contradictory reports, 36 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: to be very fair, that Vladimir Putin might have had 37 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: a lot of Ukrainians surrounded and they were pretty much 38 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: sitting ducks. But during the conversation, Trump put forward a 39 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: proposal for a mutual refusal of the parties to the 40 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: conflict to strike energy infrastructure facilities for thirty days Vladimir 41 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: Putin responded positively to that initiative and immediately gave the 42 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: Russian military the appropriate command. He also reacted constructively to 43 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: the idea that Trump of him implementing a well known 44 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: initiative regarding the safety of navigation in the Black Sea, 45 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: and it was agreed to start negotiatations for additional study 46 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: on specific details, and they talked about a prisoner exchange 47 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: as well. 48 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, the prisoner exchange was also big. Putin committed 49 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 2: to releasing tomorrow March nineteenth the Ukrainians prisoners, and the 50 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 2: Ukrainians you know, will hopefully agree to release the Russian 51 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 2: prisoners one hundred and seventy five to one one hundred 52 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 2: and seventy five in a twenty three seriously one that 53 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: Ukrainian servicemen are being treated in Russian medical institutions and 54 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 2: will be transferred as a gesture of good wealth. So 55 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 2: Putin is playing ball with President Trump, which in my assessment, 56 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 2: is the only US president who to do years and 57 00:03:53,760 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 2: with whom Puden will agree to deal on a transactional basis. 58 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 2: It's because President Trump, unlike former President Joe Biden and 59 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 2: Kamila Harris, who were continuously exasperated by Recaulcentrance. They called 60 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 2: them a killer, they called them this and that, basically 61 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 2: showing their frustrations. President Trump is misodic calling trying to 62 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 2: accomplish his goal, and she is made in progress because 63 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 2: he knows how to deal with PUD. She has seen 64 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 2: you have found the king on how to conduct transactional 65 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 2: business with the former KGB officer that nobody so far 66 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 2: has found the key. 67 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: To working with the one thing that might be a 68 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: sticking point if I was on the Ukrainian side of this, 69 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: and I'm on the side of this has got to end. 70 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: How many more people need to die and how much 71 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: more destruction do we need because it's not going to 72 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: be a Ukraine left if this continues, you know, for 73 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: an extended period of time. In my humble opinion, and 74 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: and you know, if we could get a piece in Europe, 75 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: I think it would be beneficial. Maybe a sticking point 76 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: would be Russia's desire for need to stop any mobilization 77 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: in Ukraine and any efforts to rearm their their forces 78 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: in Ukraine, which I don't believe that Russia would be 79 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 1: capable of participating in on their end, they'd have that 80 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: time to rearm while they're demanding that Ukraine not have 81 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: that right exactly. 82 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 2: That is consistent with my intelligient assessment. Are shown. That 83 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 2: is some of the conditions that is trying to place 84 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 2: on the Ukrainian side, no more mobilization, no training of 85 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 2: Ukrainian soldiers, and no more foreign military aid. And that 86 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 2: is going to be sort of an uneven situation because 87 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 2: the Ussians, from the one He and pud He has 88 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 2: mobilized additional thousands of troops to the maximum allowable by 89 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 2: the constitution, actually even above the maximum allowable by the 90 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 2: Russian constitution. 91 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 3: They are right. 92 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 2: Now at one million, three hundred and fifty thousand troops 93 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 2: committed to let's say, the US military, which includes also 94 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 2: the National Guards is about one million, right so, and 95 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 2: the Russians that are now out producing the entire NATO 96 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 2: alliance in terms of those material military hardware. According to 97 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 2: NATO Secretary General himself, the Russians in three months are 98 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 2: producing more missiles than the entire NATO Alliance, including the 99 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 2: United States, in the entire year. And that is something 100 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 2: to think about. 101 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: Well, I think it's a lot to think about. When 102 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: I interviewed Lynsky, President Zelensky, I said, I pushed him hard, 103 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: and it was before the rarer mineral deal. I assume 104 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: now that that has been completed. I've never seen an 105 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: official verification of that, but I believe that there's been 106 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: an agreement on that part. But assuming that that happens, 107 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: and he was kind of dodged all the questions, I said, 108 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: you do understand that any negotiated settlement will likely include 109 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: you're not going to be a member of NATO, although 110 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: having the partnership with the US would ensure a US 111 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: presidence in Ukraine, which I think would be very helpful 112 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: to their security. It would also provide them with the 113 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: rare earth mineral deal. The money's to rebuild Ukraine. The 114 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: second aspect of it was there's probably going to be 115 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: more land that will end up in Russian hands. You 116 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: have the Donbas region, for example, which my understanding is 117 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: was what eighty percent Russian anyway, not even able to 118 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: vote in those elections. 119 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 3: Correct? In Ukrainian elections, yes. 120 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 2: Correct, while rink he has ruled out, at least for now, 121 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 2: holding the elections altogether, and the Ukrainian parment backed him up. 122 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 2: And that is because Volensky invoked in martial law and 123 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,119 Speaker 2: as against in the Ukraine constitution to hold elections during 124 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 2: the war and this sort of thing. But the guy 125 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 2: is very, very a talented actor, I would I would 126 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 2: call him so he is even though he doesn't have 127 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 2: any cards. Like President Trump said, he is trying to 128 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 2: continue the flow of US villains of dollars into Ukraine. 129 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 2: And so it is really remains to be seen how 130 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 2: open he is going to be gone, that is, to 131 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 2: come through on his part of the deal and actually 132 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: saved Ukraine. And you're absolutely dread Sean. If he doesn't, 133 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 2: then there will be absolutely nothing left of the country. 134 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 3: To say, I mean, that's the scary part. 135 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: I mean, there's been so much death and so much 136 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: destruction at the end, what's going to be left? And 137 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: especially if the United States is not going to commit 138 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to basically end up 139 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: being a proxy in this war. Europe has not stepped 140 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: up and contributed their fair share as far as I'm concerned. 141 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 2: No, they absolutely haven't. And look, the truth is is 142 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 2: that if the Europeans were stepping up to the plate, 143 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 2: if they paid for their own security, as President Trump, 144 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 2: you know, during his first term ask them to do 145 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 2: even was compelling them to do. If they started during 146 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 2: the ten years ago, which is when they knew about 147 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 2: what he was going to do, I breached them personally, 148 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 2: then Poo would have never invaded. He didn't evade during 149 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 2: President Trump's first term precisely because President Trump understands Sudin's 150 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 2: strategy and he took a series of measures that basically 151 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 2: mitigated the strategic vulnerabilities that we have because of our 152 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 2: reliance on technology. That was the actual point why Study 153 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 2: was feeling very involved in to invade Ukraine because he 154 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 2: knew we couldn't step in right because he kind of 155 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 2: boxed Joe Biden in with his his nuclear cards. But 156 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 2: during President Trump's terms, they didn't do that. And one 157 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 2: point on Valentky just something that you mentioned, and you're 158 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 2: absolutely correct. The security guarantee that Volentsky was demanding from Trump. 159 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 2: He was too dunce and too too too dumb. I 160 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 2: wouldn't say v Lansky to pick up that on the 161 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 2: fact that President Trump was offering him security guarantees not 162 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 2: in the native membership, but by placing US businessman onto 163 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 2: Ukrainian soil to start, you know, the explorations of the 164 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 2: critical minerals, and that was President Trump's back doorways of 165 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 2: ensuring those guarantees because Putin would not dare strike those 166 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 2: areas where your business were, because the Restian intelligence knows 167 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 2: that our red line has always been if you target 168 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 2: US personnel wherever it is on US sol you know, 169 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 2: on that soubit or even outside of the US and 170 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 2: foreign territories, when you target US personnel, they'll be held 171 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 2: to pay. But Lunch, unfortunately, was two doub to recognize 172 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 2: the art of the deal that Donald Trump was offering 173 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 2: to him. 174 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: So with all that said, where do you see this 175 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: going now? I mean, there have been those that have 176 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: speculated that Putin is just going to want to drag 177 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: this out as long as possible. Does Putin ultimately see 178 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: the wisdom and ending this considering their economy is in shambles, 179 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: They have more people leaving the country because they don't 180 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: want to be signed up to fight in this war 181 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: or this conflict. It's not a popular conflict. Where does 182 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: an end? 183 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 2: So you're correct, does see the wisdom in ending this, 184 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 2: but it's going to take time, and Putin wants to 185 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 2: end it on his term, and the situation is that, 186 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 2: as President Trump admitted, who has all the cause. I 187 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 2: think President Trump is being too generous and with him 188 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 2: by saying that. But I think it's because President Trump 189 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 2: knows what buttons to push with. You know, he's trying 190 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 2: to keep him on his good side. We do have 191 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 2: some hards. We don't have too many, but we do 192 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 2: have some. It's going to be a very gradual process 193 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 2: and uh like, for example, look at these uh. He 194 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 2: is also wanting to be seen next to President Trump, right, 195 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 2: That's why he's likely asking. It's not in this readouts, 196 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 2: but I have through my forces that Putin is wanting 197 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 2: a meeting in person with President Trump, to be seen 198 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 2: with the leader of the free world. He also requested 199 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 2: in this redoubts to organize a hockey match between the 200 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 2: United States. 201 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: Between the US and Russia, which actually I would love 202 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: to see as a hockey fan, I would. 203 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 2: Love that too. I'm a huge hockey fan as well. 204 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 2: That would be fantastic. I also watch now different mm A, 205 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 2: you know the UFC Dana why it's outfit and all 206 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 2: the fights between the Russians and America, and those are 207 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 2: actually excellent. And if Moscow and Washington we're able to 208 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 2: emulate that type of relationship that the Russians and the 209 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 2: Americans have right now, like for example, when they in 210 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 2: space the International Space Station, right they're able to work 211 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 2: together that hand in hand as college or the relationship 212 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 2: that the athletes have, you know, for example, during our mma, 213 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 2: the Russians Americans can beat the heck out of each 214 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 2: other the uros prizers. 215 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: But it's almost like a scene from Rocky What was 216 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: a Rocky five or whatever number? 217 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 3: It was? 218 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: All right, Rebecca Koffler, thank you. Eight hundred and nine 219 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: point one, Shawn, our number if you want to be 220 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: part of the program. We're waiting the return of SpaceX 221 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: and the rescue mission of the astronauts that have been 222 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: nearly three hundred days in space two hundred and eighty 223 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: six to be a specific, and they're only supposed to 224 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: be there eight days. I am told, and we've been 225 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: told that they're going to have a pretty tough time 226 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: adjusting after being in zoo or gravity for such a 227 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: long period of time. That's not what their training was. 228 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: Four they were there for an eight day trip. By 229 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: twenty five now till the top of the hour, twenty 230 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: two minutes away from an anticipated splashdown and recovery of 231 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: the stranded space station astronauts. We're going to be going 232 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: in and out and listening to some of the NASA coverage. 233 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: Obviously there's a partnership there, but honestly SpaceX has taken 234 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: on most of the responsibility of this. But the two 235 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: astronauts two hundred and eighty six days in their space odyssey, 236 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: and this has been a seventeen hour now twenty one 237 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: minutes until we expect a splash down, and we expect 238 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: Wilmore and Williams, wearing SpaceX pressure shue suits to land. 239 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: They were about to and now in their twenty seventh 240 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: minute freefall is where I understand, Linda. We'll get to 241 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: that in a second, and the spacecraft will plunge back 242 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: into the discernible atmosphere for the final twelve minutes of descent, 243 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: making a parachute assisted splash down. It's expected to still 244 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: land at this time at five point fifty seven PM 245 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: two fifty seven on the West coast, and a SpaceX 246 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: recovery ship will be stationed nearby to haul the spacecraft 247 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: on board so the crew can be helped out of 248 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: the crew Dragon's cabin and onto the stretchers for initial 249 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: medical checks. As I went through earlier, there there are 250 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: significant medical issues that especially if you spend a prolonged 251 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: period in space that these astronauts will go through. We'll 252 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: dip in and out of NASA's coverage here and all 253 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: prayers are with these guys on their final descent and 254 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: anticipated safe splash down.

Why 330 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: did I pick American Because it's the most American made 331 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: car in the entire country. Anyway, good luck to all 332 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,360 Speaker 1: of you. You get one chance to win a day. 333 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: We take this through well, I believe April the eleventh, 334 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: and then we'll pick a winner, and I think they 335 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 1: have seven days to claim their car. We'll try our 336 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: best to get in touch with them. 337 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 4: So Sean, we have some updates, just so you know, 338 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 4: because we're listening to this. But I didn't want to 339 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 4: view because everybody wants to know about the Tesla contest. 340 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 4: But they've just they're just getting into the part I 341 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 4: guess of space where they have no signal anymore. So 342 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,199 Speaker 4: they just gave sort of an update to say, hey, 343 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 4: we're heading into the no signal zone. 344 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: So once you can go on for several minutes they 345 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 1: would describe this in great specificity. 346 00:21:58,960 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 3: I've read all about this time. 347 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 4: Yes, but now they've updated and they're actually going to 348 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 4: be landing at five point fifty one East Coast time 349 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 4: two fifty one Pacific time, and they will splash down 350 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 4: at nine minutes away. 351 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 3: In the Gulf of America. What better I mean in 352 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 3: the Gulf of America. 353 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: And by the way, they actually at NASA said that 354 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: when we get communications back, let me know and just 355 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 1: pray that we have a good splashdown on this Look. 356 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: Imagine and I'll get into this with Elon Musk tonight 357 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 1: on TV. But imagine, you know, everything that has to 358 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: go perfectly here we have. 359 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 3: We watched the launch of this rocket. We'll show you 360 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 3: the video tonight. 361 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,360 Speaker 1: We saw the rocket is recovered and it has a 362 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: system to land gently and successfully back on Earth. 363 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 4: You know what, don't we do this not to interrupt you, 364 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 4: but just so we don't I know, it's my job. 365 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 4: I'm apologize. 366 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 3: You make the dock video, saw the return takeoff? 367 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 2: Do you? 368 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 4: I really do need to interrupt you though, I want 369 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:03,959 Speaker 4: to be able to air this. In order for us 370 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 4: to do that, I think that we should do our 371 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 4: read say goodbye now and come back on the other side, 372 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 4: and then be live to the end of the show 373 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 4: so that we don't interrupt anything that's happening with this 374 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 4: landing with reads or anywhere. 375 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 3: We can do that. 376 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: Okay, So everything so far, and I'll get to this first. 377 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: Everything so far has gone perfectly. The launch has gone perfectly. 378 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: The docking, we saw those videos when they docked at 379 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: the International Space Station. We saw the rocket landing and 380 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: literally gently just placing itself down on Earth. I mean, 381 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: amazing engineering. We saw the return. It was a seventeen 382 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: hour trip, will be a little less than seventeen hours 383 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: now and then now we are waiting for the splash 384 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 1: down and we will have a successful mission and literally 385 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: recovery of two astronauts that have been lost in space. 386 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 3: No, it's building up on. 387 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 5: The exterior of the capsule, generating heat in excess of 388 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 5: thirty five hundred degrees fahrenheit, So we are unable to 389 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,880 Speaker 5: communicate or command the spacecraft at that time. And that 390 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 5: includes unfortunately video feeds as well. So as soon as 391 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 5: we get the views back inside Dragon, we will bring 392 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 5: those to you. But until then, we are going to 393 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 5: stand by and continue to monitor the progress of Dragon. 394 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 5: Like Sandra just said, we are anticipating the blackout period 395 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 5: to begin at two fifty one pm Pacific time five 396 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 5: point fifty one pm Eastern Time as will last for 397 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,360 Speaker 5: several minutes. It's not super exact. Even though we are 398 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 5: predicting acquisition of signal or AOS to come back at 399 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 5: five point fifty one pm Eastern Time. In the past 400 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,199 Speaker 5: we have regained communications sometimes a little bit earlier than that, 401 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 5: so we'll probably start to hear Core begin to hail 402 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 5: Crew Dragon a minute or two prior to that anticipated 403 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 5: acquisition of signal. But right now, Nick Sonny, Butch and 404 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 5: Alexander are touchscreen displays where the current operation and future 405 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 5: operations will be displayed as they are able to monitor 406 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:13,360 Speaker 5: Dragon's progress continually. As I said before, Dragon is autonomous, 407 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 5: meaning it is flying itself, so the crew stands by 408 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:21,120 Speaker 5: and monitors and those touchscreen displays are what will be 409 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 5: allowing them to do so and prepare for events such 410 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,679 Speaker 5: as such as parachute. 411 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 6: Deploy and While onboard the International Space Station, Nick Sonny, 412 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 6: Butch and Alexander contributed to over nine hundred hours of 413 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 6: science and research investigations, which is really the key purpose 414 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,640 Speaker 6: of the International Space Station. Now, the International Space Station 415 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 6: is celebrating a major milestone this year where they will 416 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 6: be celebrating twenty five years of continuous human presence in November, 417 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 6: So if you're younger than twenty five years, you've never 418 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 6: known a day where there hasn't been a human living 419 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 6: and working aboard the International Space Station, contributing to key 420 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,439 Speaker 6: science and research investigations that impact our lives here on Earth. 421 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 6: There's research being done on Parkinson's, on osteoporosis, on cancer research, 422 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 6: and a variety of other studies. Additionally, the Microgravity Laboratory 423 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,919 Speaker 6: provides a jumping off point for us as we venture 424 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 6: back to the Moon and on to Mars through longer 425 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 6: duration space flights. One such example that the crew worked 426 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:27,880 Speaker 6: on during this mission was an alternative exercise device. In microgravity, 427 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 6: the crew has exercise for about two hours a day 428 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 6: because they're not having the effects of gravity on their body, 429 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 6: so to prevent bone and muscle loss, we counteract that 430 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 6: with two hours of exercise per day. On board the 431 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,959 Speaker 6: International Space Station. They have three ways in which they 432 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 6: can exercise. They have a bike, they have a treadmill, 433 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 6: and they have a similar to a weightlifting machine that 434 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 6: counteracts the microgravity environment. But a particular experiment that this 435 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 6: crew tested out was a combination of all three of 436 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 6: those in one smaller device. And this is really critical 437 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 6: as we continue on to the Moon, Mars and beyond, 438 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 6: because space is really important in spacecraft. So if we 439 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 6: have something smaller the crew might be able to utilize 440 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 6: that can potentially help us venture out even further into 441 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 6: the Solar System. So science is really the name of 442 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 6: the game when it comes to the International Space Station. 443 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 6: Some of the other science highlights that took place during 444 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 6: this increment that are particularly interesting to me was we 445 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 6: had the first wooden satellite that was deployed. This is 446 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 6: a study to see if other materials might be more 447 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 6: resourceful or renewable in space, so I'm really excited to 448 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 6: see the results of that one as well. Additionally, we 449 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 6: had a couple of spacewalks that took place to not 450 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 6: only provide maintenance to the International Space Station, but also 451 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 6: where we swab the outside of the space station near 452 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 6: events to see if any microbes that we all have 453 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 6: microbes on us, to see if any of those could 454 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,199 Speaker 6: survive in the harsh environment of space, which again is 455 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 6: very important for us to know and understand. And as 456 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 6: we continue to the Moon, Mars and beyond. 457 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 5: Very exciting stuff. Now at this point, we have now 458 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 5: entered the communications blackout period for the Dragon spacecraft. This 459 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 5: lasts approximately seven minutes due to plasma formation around the 460 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 5: spacecraft itself. During this time, no vehicle telemetry is received 461 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 5: by mission control or the recovery team, and no external 462 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 5: commanding of the vehicle or voice communication is possible. But 463 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 5: as a reminder, Dragon is designed to fly itself. During 464 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 5: re entry, the vehicle will be slowing down from orbital velocity, 465 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 5: which is approximately seventeen five hundred miles per hour. The 466 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 5: top temperature that Dragon will experience upon re entry is 467 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 5: thirty five hundred degrees fahrenheit. This blackout period, as I 468 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 5: said before, we expect it to last about seven minutes today, 469 00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 5: concluding at five point fifty one pm Eastern time. We're 470 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 5: two fifty one pm Pacific time. We right there have 471 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 5: our first view of Dragon Freedom coming home to Earth. 472 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 6: And that view is from the WB fifty seven, which 473 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 6: is one of NASA's high altitude planes that is tracking now. 474 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,479 Speaker 6: Because of the way that this camera is configured, it 475 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 6: does look like it is dark, but it is indeed daytime, 476 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 6: and you're beginning to see that plasma trail as Dragon 477 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,959 Speaker 6: re enters the Earth's atmosphere, all of that is expected. 478 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 6: We are anticipating an acquisition of signal around two fifty 479 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,479 Speaker 6: one pm Pacific time, so just minutes from now, and 480 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 6: you may hear the Core begin to hail out or 481 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 6: call Dragon for communications and see if we can potentially 482 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 6: get communications with them. A little bit earlier. Following this, 483 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 6: we'll have two events in rapid succession. We'll have the 484 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 6: drogue parachutes deploy at two fifty three pm Pacific, followed 485 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 6: by the mains just one minute later at two fifty 486 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 6: four pm Pacific time. I'm ahead of a splash down 487 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 6: at two fifty seven pm Pacific time off the coast 488 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 6: of Tallahassee, Florida. 489 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 1: All right, we're listening to NASA right now, just to 490 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: update you there. This is the most incredible thing you've 491 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: ever seen. Really, I'm trying to describe this for you 492 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: because you have this this telescope that is able to 493 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: now follow and track it. They're in a period of 494 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: where the plasma surrounding what will be their splashdown vehicle 495 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 1: that prevents the communication. So right now it's a silent 496 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 1: period that they go through, which has to be a 497 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: little bit scarier. The fact that they can track it 498 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: and while the image looks like it's nighttime, it is not. 499 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 1: It is obviously daytime because this is going to splash 500 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,959 Speaker 1: down and the Gulf of America just off the Panhandle 501 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: near Tallahassee in Florida. A couple of things to watch 502 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: out for is as they make reentry, you know, they 503 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: will hit a high temperature. It's designed and engineered to 504 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: with stand a temperature of over thirty five hundred degrees 505 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: nearly two thousand miles per hour if you want to 506 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: talk about speed, and at about two point fifty about 507 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: five point fifty three, in about a minute, they expect 508 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: the launch of the first parachute and then the launch 509 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 1: of the second and final parachute, which will slow the 510 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,959 Speaker 1: spaceships as it then descends into a splashdown. And it 511 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: is still scheduled at five point fifty seven Eastern time, 512 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 1: just as we're going off the air, exactly on time 513 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: what we were told it was going to be today. 514 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: I went through this earlier today, and the astronauts themselves 515 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: will really face a lot of physical challenges upon their return. 516 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,479 Speaker 1: They supposed to be an eight day stay. It turned 517 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: into a two hundred and sixty what seven two I'm sorry, 518 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty six days stay and when they 519 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: come back, because of the unexpected time they spent, it's 520 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: going to make it that much more difficult. And they 521 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: may face a of health problems. They might have weaker 522 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: bones and muscles, they might experience vision issues, what's called 523 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: baby feet, which I described earlier, I'll describe it again. 524 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: Their bodies have to adjust to being back with the 525 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: planet Earth's gravity. The astronauts splashing you know, this is 526 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: after splashdown and Williams and Wilmore, the two astronauts, American 527 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: astronauts that were kind of abandoned in space, arrived there 528 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: last June, were supposed to stay for eight days. They 529 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: were forced to remain in orbit. Well, now we have 530 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: the reconnection. NASA is now reconnected with the astronauts. They 531 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: are wow. They literally, let's see, three minutes away from 532 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 1: splash down, and we just saw an image of them 533 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: in this in space Dragon SpaceX Dragon in their capsule 534 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: getting ready to develop. But they they what happens is 535 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:59,479 Speaker 1: is they remain in orbit. You know, you can actually 536 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 1: gain in height while you're up there because there is 537 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: this phenomenon where your bones literally your spine will stretch 538 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: and it can lead to back problems. On the other 539 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 1: side of that, there can be vision issues. You can 540 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: have bone and muscle loss. Bones become about one percent 541 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: less dense. Okay, we now see the capsule making its descended. 542 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: It has re entered our orbit. We are now about 543 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: two and a half minutes away from splashdown. It's incredible. 544 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: The first two parachutes have been deployed successfully in about 545 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 1: a minute. They are supposed to deploy the third one, 546 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 1: and at that point the capsule looks like it is 547 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 1: on target for a perfect landing and an on time 548 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: perfect landing. The visuals on NASA are incredible. If you 549 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: can get to a TV. Fox News has just put 550 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 1: it on and NASA's stream. If you want to go 551 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: to NASA dot com or just go to Hannity dot com. 552 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: We have images of it there. It looks like if 553 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: we get one more deployment of one final parachute, it 554 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,840 Speaker 1: looks like this mission will be a complete success. 555 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,280 Speaker 3: Our prayers are with the astronous. 556 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 5: As we heard right there, Commander Nickay will be calling 557 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,439 Speaker 5: out the altitude of the Dragon capsule from here on out. 558 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 5: Landing in water is simpler and provides more margin against 559 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:32,720 Speaker 5: unlikely parachute issues. You can see those parachutes continuing to 560 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 5: slow the dragon capsule down. 561 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 1: Two more parachutes have been deployed successfully. You're looking at 562 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: I can actually see water. 563 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 2: Love. 564 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 1: We're about a minute and ten seconds away from landing 565 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: splashing down. 566 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:49,360 Speaker 6: Off the coast of Tallahassee, Florida. Splash down two minutes 567 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,880 Speaker 6: from now at two fifty seven pm Pacific. We do 568 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 6: have four healthy manes really doing the job there, just 569 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 6: breath taking views of a calm glass like ocean off 570 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 6: the host of Tallahassee, Florida. Crew nine just minutes away 571 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:03,959 Speaker 6: from splashing down. 572 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 5: This is really such an incredible shot. That was a 573 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:17,360 Speaker 5: live view from our recovery vessel Meghan, which is stationed 574 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 5: a couple miles away from the splashdown site. 575 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 1: We are literally seconds away from splashdown. Elon Musk will 576 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: be on Hannity tonight. Steve Whitkoff, who's been negotiating with 577 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 1: the President. He was there during the negotiations with Putin today. 578 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 1: Steve and Miller will be on tonight. We have full coverage. Well, 579 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 1: we'll get Elon's take on all of this any second. Now, 580 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,359 Speaker 1: you can see that the capsule has slowed down and 581 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 1: we expect a successful splash down. 582 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 3: Thank god.
