I 111 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 8: think this is extremely helpful that we are meeting and 112 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 8: hearing that the two of you are having such a 113 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 8: good meeting today here in Washington. The next steps ahead 114 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 8: are the more complicated ones. Now the path is open. 115 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 8: You opened it last Friday, but now the way is 116 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 8: open for complicated negotiations. And to be honest, we all 117 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 8: would like to see a cease fire the latest from 118 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,239 Speaker 8: the next meeting on. I can't imagine that the next 119 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 8: meeting would took place without a ceasefire. So let's work 120 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 8: on that, and let's try to put pressure on Russia, 121 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 8: because the credibility of these efforts, these efforts we are 122 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 8: undertaking today depending on at least ceasefire from the beginning 123 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 8: of the serious negotiations from next step on. So I 124 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 8: would like to emphasize this aspect and would like to 125 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 8: see a ceasefire from the next meeting, which should be 126 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 8: a triateral meeting wherever it takes place. 127 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 5: Well, we're going to let the president go over and 128 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 5: talk to the president and we'll see how that works out. 129 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 5: And if we can do that, I will say, and 130 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 5: again I say it. In the six wars that I've settled, 131 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 5: I haven't had a ceasefire. We just got into negotiations. 132 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 5: And the one of the wars was as you know, 133 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 5: and the Congo was thirty years thirty one years long. 134 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 5: Another one that we settled last week with two great 135 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 5: countries was thirty five years going on and we had 136 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 5: no ceasefire. So if we can do the ceasefire, great, 137 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 5: and if we don't do a ceasefire, because many other 138 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 5: points were given to us, many many points were given 139 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 5: to us great points, is surege you go ahead? 140 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 9: Well, thank you very much Donald, mister President for hosting 141 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 9: us today in this important meeting. And I think it 142 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 9: is an important day, a new phase after three years 143 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 9: and a half that we didn't see any kind of 144 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 9: sign from the Russian side that there was a willing 145 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 9: for dialogue. So something is changing. Something has changed thanks 146 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 9: to you, thanks also to the starting in the battlefield, 147 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 9: which was achieved with the bravery of Ukrainians and with 148 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 9: the unity that we all provided to Ukraine. And the 149 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 9: reason why I mentioned it is that we also have 150 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,719 Speaker 9: to remind that if we want to reach peace and 151 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 9: if we want to guarantee justice, we have to do 152 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 9: it united. So that's why it's a very good day, 153 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:52,719 Speaker 9: the one. 154 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 8: We are in. 155 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 9: You can obviously count to Italy as it was from 156 00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 9: the beginning. We are on the side of Ukraine and 157 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 9: we do absolutely support your efforts towards peace. We will 158 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 9: talk about many important topics. The first one is security guarantees, 159 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 9: how to be sure that it won't happen again, which 160 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 9: is the precondition of every kind of peace. I'm happy 161 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 9: that we will discuss about that. I'm happy that we 162 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 9: will begin from a proposal which is the let's say 163 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 9: Article five model, which was Italian at the beginning. So 164 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 9: we are always ready to bring our proposals for peace, 165 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 9: for dialogue.

This is why the idea of a 176 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 4: high lateral meeting is very important, because this is the 177 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 4: only way to fix it. And by the way, I 178 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 4: think as a follow up, who would need probably a 179 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 4: quadrilateral meeting Because when we speak about security guarantees, we 180 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 4: speak about the whole security of the European continents, and 181 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 4: this is why we are all united here with Ukraine 182 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 4: on this matter. In order to organize such a high 183 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 4: lateral meeting, your idea to ask for a truce or 184 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 4: this is at least to stop the killings, as we discuss, 185 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 4: is a necessity and we all support this idea. And 186 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 4: in order to have such a long standing piece for 187 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 4: Ukraine and for the whole continent, we do need security guarantees. 188 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 4: The first one is clearly a credible Ukrainian army for 189 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 4: the years and decades to come, and the second one 190 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 4: is our own commitments, all of us, and we worked 191 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 4: very hard during the past few months among the coalition 192 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 4: of the Winnings with the support of NATO to build 193 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 4: the different pillars of security guarantees and our commitments. And 194 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 4: you can be sure that Europeans are very lucid about 195 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 4: the fact that they have their fairst year in these 196 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 4: security guarantees for Ukraine, but their own security is clearly 197 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 4: at stake in the situation. So you can contain us 198 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 4: as we can continue you in order to deliver this 199 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 4: obbest piece for both Ukraine and Europe. 200 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 5: Thank you very much, and mister primnas. 201 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,719 Speaker 10: Thank you very much, mister President, and thank you for 202 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 10: hosting us here. Can I start where a manual started, 203 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 10: which is we all want face The war in Ukrainers 204 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 10: had a huge impact, particularly on the Ukrainians imported the 205 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 10: prompt of it, but it's also had an impact on 206 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 10: Europe and on the United Kingdom. There's not a family 207 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 10: or community that hasn't been affected. And when we talk 208 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 10: about security, we're talking about the security not just of Ukraine. 209 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 10: We're talking about the security of Europe and the United 210 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 10: Kingdom as well, which is why this is such an 211 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 10: important issue. Things is such an important meeting as a group. 212 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 10: I think we've had a discussion on the phone a 213 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 10: number of times since the President, but be able now 214 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 10: to be around the table to take it forward, and 215 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 10: I really feel that we can, I think, with the 216 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 10: right approach this afternoon, make real progress, particularly on the 217 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 10: security guarantees. And your indication of security guarantees of some 218 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 10: sort of Article five style guarantees fits with what we've 219 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 10: been doing with the Coalition of the Willing, which we 220 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 10: started some months ago, bringing countries together and showing that 221 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 10: we were prepared to step up to the plate when 222 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 10: it came to security. With you coming alongside the US, 223 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,719 Speaker 10: alongside what we've already developed, I think we could take 224 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 10: a really important step forward today. A historic step actually 225 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 10: could come out of this meeting in terms of security 226 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,839 Speaker 10: for Ukraine and security in Europe. I also feel that 227 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 10: we can make real progress towards a just and lasting outcome. 228 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 10: Obviously that has to involve Ukraine, and a trilateral meeting 229 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 10: seems the sensible next step. So thank you for being 230 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 10: prepared to take that forward. Because I think if we 231 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 10: can ensure that that is the progress out of this meeting, 232 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 10: both security guarantees and some sort of progress on trilateral 233 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 10: meeting of some sort to bring some of the difficult 234 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 10: issues to a head, then I think today we'll be 235 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 10: seen as a very important day in recent years in 236 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 10: relation to a conflict which has gone on for three 237 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 10: and a bit years, and so far nobody has been 238 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 10: able to bring it to this point. 239 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 6: So I thank you for that well. 240 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 5: Thank you very much. And it's very interesting because this 241 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 5: is the first for the word house. You can't say 242 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,599 Speaker 5: that very often. It's seen a lot over the years 243 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 5: since eighteen hundred and seventeen ninety nine, to be almost exact, 244 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 5: but this is the first one. We've had so many 245 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 5: prime minister's presidents, the heads of European nations. And by 246 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 5: the way, Alex, I'd like you to say a couple 247 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 5: of words too. You're a young powerful man. Before I 248 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 5: finish up, I want you to say a couple of words. 249 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 2: Go ahead. 250 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 11: I'll take the notion of youth back to my wife 251 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 11: and try to convince her. Thank you very much, mister President. 252 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 11: I think in the past two weeks we've probably had 253 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 11: more progress in ending this war than we have in 254 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 11: the past three and a half years. And I think 255 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 11: the fact that we're around this table today is very 256 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 11: much symbolic in the sense that it's Team Europe and 257 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 11: Team United States helping Ukraine, and the progress that we're 258 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 11: looking out of this meeting is about the security guarantees, 259 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 11: which are a big part of the and then of 260 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 11: course moving towards a process with a trilateral meeting with 261 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 11: you and President Putin and President Zelenski. Some of the 262 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 11: international media might wonder, you know, why is the president 263 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 11: of Finland here. I think the reason is probably that 264 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 11: we might come from a small country, but we have 265 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 11: a long border with Russia, over eight hundred Miles, and 266 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 11: we of course have our own historical experience with Russia 267 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 11: from World War Two, the Winter War and the War 268 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 11: of Continuation. And if I look at the silver lining 269 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 11: of where we stand right now, we found a solution 270 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 11: in nineteen forty four, and I'm sure that we'll be 271 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 11: able to find a solution in twenty twenty five to 272 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 11: end Russia's war of aggression and find and get a 273 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 11: lasting and just peace. The situation is very difficult, but 274 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 11: that's why we're here. 275 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 5: Thank you, Alex very much. 276 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: Good job. 277 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 5: So we're going to be meeting for a while and 278 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 5: we're going to discuss some of the issues. And I 279 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 5: don't think there's any issue that's overly complex. It's at 280 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 5: a point now where people want to do things. I 281 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 5: really do believe. I've known them for a long time. 282 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 5: I've always had a great relationship with him. I think 283 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 5: at President Putin wants to find an answer to and 284 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 5: we'll see and in a certain period of time, not 285 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 5: very far from now, a week or two weeks, we're 286 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 5: going to know whether or not we're going to solve 287 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 5: this or is this horrible fighting and to continue. We'll 288 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 5: do the best to get it ended and I believe 289 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 5: you have two willing parties, and usually that's good news. 290 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 5: But two willing parties that want to make a deal, 291 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 5: and we'll journey together and we'll go over and we'll 292 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 5: see if it could be done, and it might. It's possible, 293 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 5: it might not be able to be done. On the 294 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 5: other hand, it's possible it will. I'm going to save 295 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 5: thousands and thousands of lives a week, and so it's 296 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 5: something we really have to do, or at least we 297 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 5: have to give it our best, so you can give 298 00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 5: it your best. But I think we may have a 299 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 5: very good outcome. So I want to thank you all, 300 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 5: and the media, I want to thank you. We're going 301 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 5: to be staying here for a little while. Then we're 302 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 5: going to walk over to the Oval office and we're 303 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 5: going to have another little discussion about similar matters, and 304 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 5: then they're going to go home to their great countries 305 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 5: and report, and I'm going to remain here and work, 306 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 5: and you're going to go and work. We're all going 307 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 5: to be working. We may be in a different location, 308 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 5: but that's what we know how to do, is work. 309 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 5: But I want to thank the media has been actually 310 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 5: very fair, generally speaking, very fair I think it's important 311 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 5: that they're fair because this is it's a very important 312 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 5: it's a very important subject. We have to get it ended. 313 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 5: And so that's all we ask for is fairness with 314 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 5: the media.

Pleasure, thanks gread to 380 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: be here. 381 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 13: I greatly appreciate you guys being here. All right, so 382 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 13: let's begin with you, Colonel Harvey. Friday's gathering was quite 383 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 13: quite interesting. No deal came of, but I don't think 384 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 13: anybody really expected that. Of course, those on the left 385 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 13: chirp awating. Well, he didn't get a deal, and Vladimir 386 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 13: Putin was clearly in charge. I didn't see that. I 387 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 13: don't think anybody saw that. I don't think any honest 388 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,479 Speaker 13: person saw that. I think an honest person saw a 389 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 13: man who's trying to get peace between two countries that's 390 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 13: gone on for three and a half years and costs 391 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 13: one point five million people either their lives or their 392 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 13: mobility because they've been killed or wounded. 393 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: It's time to stop the war. Colonel, what do you. 394 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,159 Speaker 17: Say, Well, I think you're right. The desire for peace 395 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 17: is apparent. The European leaders that met was the president. 396 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 17: Under the President's leadership, with President Zelenski there, we would 397 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 17: not have this day on this precipice of heading into 398 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 17: another maybe a trilateral agreement talks going forward here that's 399 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 17: still to be seen. I think you have to get 400 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 17: mister Putin on board with it. But in that room 401 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 17: in the White House today, President Trump was in charge. 402 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 17: He has a vision to bring peace to this area. 403 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 17: He's putting all his cards into it. It seems to 404 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 17: me that a couple of things stood out. President Zelenski 405 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 17: is on board with moving to the next step. The 406 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 17: discussion about security guarantees. What that will mean in detail 407 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 17: is something we're going to have to learn, but you 408 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 17: know it's going to be very problematic. Number two, the 409 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,199 Speaker 17: question of territory is still a very difficult thing for 410 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 17: the Ukrainians to deal with, but it appears they're going 411 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 17: to have to seed some territory. And then you have 412 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 17: to deal with mister Putin, who has had peace deals 413 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 17: before and then has come back and struck again. You know, 414 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 17: he took Crimea's invaded again in twenty one, He's gone 415 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 17: after Georgia. He's an expansionist person, and no one doubts 416 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 17: the type of character he is. You can't be trusted. 417 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 17: So we're on a pathway under President's leadership, and I 418 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 17: think we're in a good place. There seems to be 419 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 17: unanimity about the direction the President is leading us to 420 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 17: try and get us over the goal line for a 421 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 17: peace deal. 422 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,120 Speaker 13: It would be nice, wouldn't it, You know, a Lieutenant 423 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 13: Colonel West, It's interesting to me that you know the numbers. 424 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 13: I was shocked when I realized the numbers of people 425 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 13: killed and wounded one point five million, give or take, 426 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 13: depending on who you trust, but that is more than 427 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 13: the number of people killing the European common nineteen thirty 428 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 13: nine nineteen forty in the first two years of World 429 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 13: War two. I mean, this is a terrible war, like 430 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 13: Donald Trump said several times a day, And when I 431 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 13: heard him say five six, seven, eight thousand people a week, 432 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 13: sometimes being killed or wounded. 433 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 1: This has gone nowhere. 434 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 13: And I have said since in the early days of 435 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 13: this war that it would likely end with Russia having 436 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 13: complete control of Camea, which they already do, and potentially 437 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,640 Speaker 13: control of some eastern portions of Ukraine, which looks likely 438 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,719 Speaker 13: at this point. And so the question was asked today 439 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 13: by Peter Doucey, I believe, with Fox News, was are 440 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 13: you ready to redraw maps of Ukraine or do you 441 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,120 Speaker 13: want to do this for another couple of years. I'm 442 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 13: paraphrasing a little bit, but look, doing this for another 443 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 13: two years, another five hundred thousand million people killed and wounded, 444 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:30,360 Speaker 13: to what end? 445 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: I say currently your thoughts. 446 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 3: Well, it's very interesting that you brought up the comparison 447 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 3: with the early start of World War Two, because if 448 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 3: we had had strong leadership, maybe Adolf Hitler would not 449 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 3: continue on. You know, when he said that he just 450 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 3: wanted to provide protection to the ethnic Germans there in 451 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 3: Sudatean Land, and everyone granted him that. The next thing, 452 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 3: you know, he had overrun Czechoslovakia and Poland. So I 453 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 3: think that when you look at the person that is 454 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 3: sitting at sixteen hundred Pennsylvania. Now he's not a Neville Chamberlain, 455 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 3: he's not a Barack Obama, He's not a Joe Biden. 456 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 3: I think that was the whole purpose of Friday, was 457 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 3: for Vladimir Putin to see the seriousness and the gravity 458 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,439 Speaker 3: of the situation in the eyes of President Trump. And 459 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 3: I think that's also why you saw those flyovers. But 460 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 3: right now what we have to look at is a 461 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 3: very precarious situation. You don't want to reward someone that 462 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 3: you cannot trust. You talked about Vladimir Putin being expansionist. 463 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 3: He said that his greatest disappointment in the twentieth century 464 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 3: was the collapse of the Soviet Union. We know he 465 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 3: can't be trusting when we see what happened with Georgia. 466 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 3: And I think it was a great move to have 467 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 3: the President of Finland, Alexander krab there because Finland knows 468 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 3: this and me and knows exactly how you cannot trust 469 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 3: them and what they are really looking after, saying with 470 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,640 Speaker 3: the Baltic States of Latvia, lift the way in Estonia. 471 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,239 Speaker 3: So I think it's important that these leaders go in 472 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,199 Speaker 3: with a strong hand. The economic sanctions because China is 473 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,920 Speaker 3: also looking at this as well. I think it was 474 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,199 Speaker 3: a great thing that we signed the energy deal with 475 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 3: the European Union, so that we get Europe off of 476 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,439 Speaker 3: the oil and gas that comes from Russia and they 477 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 3: take it from us. That helps our economy, that helps them, 478 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 3: that undermines Vladimir Putin. 479 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 13: Yeah, peace guarantees, that's part of the conversation here. But 480 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 13: Derek Harvey, I can only imagine what the Ukrainians would 481 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 13: think of that they gave up their nuclear weapons with 482 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 13: the guarantee of peace that Russia would respect their territory. 483 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: Clearly they have not, they did not, and they will not. 484 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 13: So Look, I don't want to reward Vladimir Putin for 485 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 13: his illegal invasion of Ukraine February twenty twenty two. But 486 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 13: on the same token, I'm stuck in this position where 487 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 13: I've thought from early on that they were going to 488 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 13: have to be concessions, real estate concessions, and it looks 489 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 13: like that's true. 490 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: But where do we go from that point of view. 491 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 17: Well, if there are real estate concessions, you still have 492 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 17: the issue of the irredentism of Vladimir Putin and the 493 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 17: security guarantees what are they going to be. Are there's 494 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 17: going to be a trip wire of UK French forces? 495 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 17: Can the Ukrainians count on them? Maybe for the next 496 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 17: two years, but maybe another government will not hold fast 497 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:12,679 Speaker 17: with those commitments. You know, they were promised, you know 498 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 17: that they would have security if they gave up the 499 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 17: nuclear weapons that they had in the nineties. That didn't 500 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 17: hold either. So if you're in Kiev, you have to 501 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 17: have real doubts and you have to question what kind 502 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 17: of guarantees are going to be strong enough and enduring 503 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 17: enough and sufficient enough to keep Russia at bay and 504 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 17: to satisfy the constituencies was in Ukraine. 505 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, we've got to look at all of that. 506 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 13: I mean, if you're a Ukrainian, why would you believe 507 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 13: anything the Russians say? And I think Lieutenant Coil the 508 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,959 Speaker 13: Western point out that's why Finland an important person to 509 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,719 Speaker 13: have at the table, an important country to have at 510 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 13: the table at the table, because they understand this as 511 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 13: well as anyone. I hold that thought right there, gentlemen 512 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 13: will take a quick break here. 513 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 1: I'd like to say this is. 514 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 13: The continued divide between Trump and the Federal Reserve, putting 515 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 13: us behind the curve again, can the FED take the 516 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,919 Speaker 13: right action at the right time or are we going 517 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 13: to be looking at a potential economic slowdown? 518 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: What does this mean for you, your money, your savings. 519 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 13: Well, consider diversifying with gold through Bird's Gold Group. For decades, 520 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 13: Birch's Gold has been viewed as a safe haven in 521 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 13: times of economic stagnation, global uncertainty, and high inflation, and 522 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 13: Birch Gold makes it incredibly easy for you to diversify 523 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 13: some of your savings into gold. If you have an 524 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 13: IRA or old four to oh one k, you can 525 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 13: convert that into attack sheltered IRA and physical gold, or 526 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 13: just buy some gold to keep in your safe Pretty 527 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 13: good idea. Right first, get educated. Burst Gold will send 528 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 13: you a free information kit on gold. Just text America 529 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 13: to the number ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight. Again 530 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 13: text America to ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight. Considered 531 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 13: diversifying a porst of your savings into gold. That way, 532 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 13: if the FED can't stay ahead of the curve for 533 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 13: the country, at least you can stay ahead of the 534 00:28:58,960 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 13: curve for yourself. 535 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: When we come back more with a ten of. 536 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 13: Colonel Allen West and Colonel Derek Harvey as we continue 537 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 13: to break down the road to peace potentially stay right there, 538 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 13: all right, continuing on now, the road to piece is 539 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 13: going to be complicated. 540 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: I don't know how we get there. Let's review this 541 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: just for one moment. 542 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 13: Here, Crimea taken during Barack Obama's tenure in the White House. 543 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 13: You've got several bases there now, Russian basis Sevestipool is 544 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 13: a naval base, Baklavah is a submarine base, and vard 545 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 13: Disc is a military airfield, all of which have been 546 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 13: improved and reinforced in the thirteen years Russia has been there. 547 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 13: It's an importantly, it's an important strategic position on the 548 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 13: Black Sea. 549 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: They're not going anywhere, that's for sure. 550 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 13: I guess it would seem to me, and I want 551 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 13: to bring it back in Colonel Derek Harvey, the town, 552 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 13: Colonel Allen west A colonel, I'll start with you. It 553 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 13: seems to me that if you could get away with 554 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 13: allowing it just to be Crimea, that the Russians keeping 555 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 13: not the rest in the eastern part of Ukraine and 556 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 13: the don Bos and so forth, that would be a win. 557 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 13: I just don't know that that's possible. Look, I don't 558 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 13: want to reward Vladimir Putin. But I don't see how 559 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 13: without some concessions of land and rewriting the boundaries and 560 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 13: the borders that we can get to peace here. 561 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: I just don't know that we can get there. 562 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 17: Your thoughts, well, Pewtin already had Crimea when he went 563 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 17: into right eastern Ukraine, and so they want more. And 564 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 17: knowing Putin and the history there, he's very expansionist. So 565 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 17: when we look at Putin and his judgment about where 566 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 17: he's at in these negotiations, I don't think we know 567 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 17: for sure how he reads the exhaustion of the Russian 568 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 17: economy and how much more they have to give into 569 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 17: this campaign and this conflict, and how much more sacrifice. 570 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 17: I think they've got a tremendous amount left to give 571 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 17: in this war, these strategic reserves, the size of their military, Yes, 572 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 17: it's you know, strained them economically. They don't like being isolated. 573 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 17: There's a cost, but it's a vital interest in the 574 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 17: minds of the strategic leadership of Moscow. And they are irredentists. 575 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 17: So you know, I don't know that we have them, 576 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 17: you know, in a place where they're going to make 577 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 17: any real concessions. I think they're going to be maximalists. 578 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 12: So there's that question. 579 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 17: And I don't think that we can be assured that 580 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 17: we're going to get a deal. I think that there's 581 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 17: a strong possibility we're going to go down this path 582 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 17: for a while and that Putin will pull in and 583 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 17: you know, reject the overtures for some reason yet to 584 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 17: be determined. 585 00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 13: Yeah, let me point to a CNN pool, Colonel West, 586 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 13: because a CNN poll has basically shown a complete change 587 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 13: where the Ukrainian people were two years ago to compared 588 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 13: where they are now. About eighty percent now say they 589 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 13: want this war negotiated and ended. A couple of years ago, 590 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 13: they wanted to fight till the death. Well, like Mike 591 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 13: Tyson used to say, everybody has a plan and to 592 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 13: get punched in the face. And let's be honest, like 593 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 13: it or not, Ukraine got punched in the face. There's 594 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 13: only so much fight left in them. The other thing, 595 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 13: but there's one thing here that really bothers me from 596 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 13: the left, and I got to get this in as well, 597 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 13: and that is, you know, our friends on the left 598 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 13: that wanted to keep dumping billions and billions of dollars 599 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 13: into Ukraine, with no return on investment, and who knows where. 600 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: That money ended up. 601 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 13: A lot of it comes in. It was about democracy 602 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 13: at the defend democracy. This is the country that canceled elections. 603 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 13: They haven't been elections in Ukraine in how many years? 604 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 13: And not on the horizon he was. Zelenski was asked 605 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 13: about that day. Oh sure, I've hold elections. Well then 606 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 13: why didn't you? The United States never canceled an election 607 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 13: out in the world of eighteen Well, not in the 608 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 13: Civil War, not World War one, not World War two. 609 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 1: We've never canceled elections in this country. We've been through 610 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: hell and back. 611 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 13: So why does the left always talk about defending democracy. 612 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 1: I think it's a red hearing your thoughts, Well, you're 613 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: absolutely right. 614 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 3: Anytime you are threatening the progressive socialist Marxists left, they're 615 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 3: going to tell you that you're a threat to democracy. 616 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 3: If you want to clean up crime in the streets 617 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 3: of Washington, DC, you're a threat to democracy. But I 618 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 3: think the most important thing that has to happen is 619 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 3: that somehow we have to convey the Bladimir Putin that 620 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 3: you really don't have the high ground. You don't have 621 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 3: the moral high ground, you don't have a strategic high 622 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 3: ground whatsoever. And an important message also needs to be 623 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 3: sent to Xijingping because you know that Putin's resources are 624 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 3: being exhausted when he has to go and get troops 625 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 3: from North Korea, and of course, without a doubt, they 626 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 3: are being supported and supplied by China. And when you 627 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 3: start to look at the trade and balance that we 628 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,479 Speaker 3: have had with China and all of the surtplus, they 629 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 3: have a lot of that is going to. 630 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 1: The building up of the Chinese navy. 631 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 3: It's also going to sending funds for for Russia. And 632 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 3: then also we need to make sure that the pipeline 633 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 3: of drones and all these things are cut off from Iran. 634 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 3: So I think if all these nations can come together 635 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 3: and let Gladimir Putin know that you're not going to 636 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 3: get your way on this, and we're going to make 637 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,799 Speaker 3: the decision and choice what strategically we say that you 638 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 3: can be retaining. And if you want to retain a 639 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 3: military presence down there in Crimea, well then guess what, 640 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,959 Speaker 3: We're going to have that security presence for Ukraine because 641 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,839 Speaker 3: you cannot be trusted because we know what happened in Georgia. 642 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 3: So I think it's really important that you break out 643 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 3: the old sunsu the art of war, not so much 644 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 3: the art of the deal, but and understand that you've 645 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 3: got to put your opposition, your adversary, in an untenable position, 646 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,760 Speaker 3: and that's what we need to be maneuvering towards. 647 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 17: Yeah. 648 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 13: Absolutely, Colonel Harvey, I'll give you the last word here. 649 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,879 Speaker 13: We're optimistic here, but as Donald Trumps said, for a while, 650 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 13: it's complicated. It is complicated. It's going to be a 651 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 13: give and take. How do we there? How do we 652 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 13: make sure that we get there? And and I keep 653 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 13: hearing people like John Bolton Nicole Wallace taking cheap shots 654 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,720 Speaker 13: of the president. Bolton keeps claiming we'll have American boots 655 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 13: on the ground. 656 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: I don't believe that at all. 657 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 13: I don't think Donald Trump would ever send American soldiers 658 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 13: to find on the ground in Ukraine. It would have 659 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,280 Speaker 13: to take some extraordinary circumstance for that to ever occur. 660 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 13: What are your final thoughts on this day is they're 661 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 13: behind closed doors. 662 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,360 Speaker 1: We hope for something good. It bring it home for me. 663 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,400 Speaker 17: Well, I don't think America first for the President would 664 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 17: ever want to put troops on the ground, even as 665 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 17: part of a security guarantee. But I think that's one 666 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,799 Speaker 17: thing President Zelenski and the European leaders are hoping for 667 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 17: is you know, some tangible American commitment to troops and 668 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 17: you know facilities probably in Ukraine to support Ukrainian's security guarantees. 669 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,359 Speaker 17: So I think that's that's a you know, a big 670 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 17: issue that's going to have to be you know, addressed. 671 00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,120 Speaker 17: I also, you know, I'm amazed all the time and 672 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:04,320 Speaker 17: when I keep hearing about possible new sanctions, new initiatives 673 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 17: that we could take to pressure Moscow three and a 674 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 17: half years into the war. If we were serious, we 675 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,879 Speaker 17: would have had secondary sanctions a couple three years ago. 676 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 17: We would have put more pressure on Moscow on their 677 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 17: trading partners in India and China, for example, and so 678 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 17: would the Europeans. So there's a lot left in the 679 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,799 Speaker 17: tank that has not been applied economically and in other 680 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:31,800 Speaker 17: matters culturally and elsewhere. But we haven't done it yet, 681 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 17: And so I have to ask how serious have we 682 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 17: actually been to really pressuring Moscow over these last three 683 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 17: and a half years. 684 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 1: Ye, Colonel wants to give you the last word here 685 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 1: as well. 686 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 13: I would never expect Donald trying to put American boots 687 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 13: on the ground. 688 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 1: I'll let you answer that question as well as we 689 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:52,719 Speaker 1: take it home. 690 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 3: Well, you know, when I started out in the United 691 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 3: States military in nineteen eighty four, I was part of 692 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 3: an airborne battalion in Vichinza, Italy that was part of 693 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,480 Speaker 3: the Allied Mobile Force Land Europe, and it was several 694 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 3: different airborne units from NATO European countries and we were 695 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 3: the rapid response for US. And so I don't want 696 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,799 Speaker 3: to see US commit to having combat troops there. But 697 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 3: without a doubt, I believe that we can help as 698 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 3: far as some of the infrastructure repair. I believe that 699 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,440 Speaker 3: we can help as far as intelligence things of that support. 700 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 3: But I think the biggest thing is you get business 701 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 3: investment back into Ukraine, and that puts Vladimir Putin into 702 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,840 Speaker 3: a very bad situation if he wants to continue to 703 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,920 Speaker 3: attack and all of a sudden the disrupt American business investment. 704 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 3: That's why I'm saying, we have to find that center 705 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,239 Speaker 3: of gravity, We have to find that achilles heel that 706 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 3: we can exploit. But first and foremost, you gotta let 707 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,399 Speaker 3: him know he does not own all of. 708 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:46,920 Speaker 1: The high ground. 709 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 13: Exactly right. General, I greatly appreciate the insight. We'll see 710 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 13: what happens behind closed doors today. Of course, everybody watching 711 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,720 Speaker 13: the world, watching any of the world leaders here, gentlemen, 712 00:37:58,760 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 13: thank you for being here. 713 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:01,239 Speaker 1: Thanks and my state. 714 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 13: Gentlemen, I don't go anywhere. America's Voice Live will continue 715 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 13: in just a moment, all right, So stockpiling the things 716 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 13: you need, while not recommended in many instances and sometimes required, 717 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,359 Speaker 13: especially with medicine, you don't want to get caught short 718 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,879 Speaker 13: and I do you trade relations as they are now, 719 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,319 Speaker 13: It's important to consider all options when it comes to 720 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:36,359 Speaker 13: having a study supply of critical medications amid Trent's tense 721 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,680 Speaker 13: trading relations. Do you want not to discuss this as 722 00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 13: the chief of disaster in emergency medicine at the Walness Company, 723 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 13: Doctor Kelly Victory, Doctor, nice to see you today. We 724 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:50,920 Speaker 13: talked recently about all these pharmaceuticals being sourced in large 725 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 13: part in places like China. Well, President Trump, as you know, 726 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,319 Speaker 13: recently announced that he was going to be giving big 727 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 13: tariffs on important prescription drugs in order to force manufacturers 728 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,279 Speaker 13: to bring the goods back to the United States. How 729 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 13: important is it to have pharmaceuticals domestically sourced. 730 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 12: Well, thanks for having me, Steve. 731 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,840 Speaker 18: Independent of how you feel about tariffs in general, it 732 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:16,440 Speaker 18: is critically important that we bring pharmaceutical manufacturing back to 733 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 18: the United States. Our over reliance on China for prescription 734 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:24,880 Speaker 18: medications or their active ingredients has been going on for decades, 735 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 18: and it really has been a tremendous national security risk. 736 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 18: All it would take is for the Chinese to cut 737 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:35,640 Speaker 18: off our supply, jack up the prices exponentially, or in 738 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 18: some way contaminate those medications, and we would be in 739 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 18: tremendous tremendous risk. So anything we can do to bring 740 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,320 Speaker 18: that manufacturing back to the US is important. That said, 741 00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 18: it is not going to happen overnight, and that's why 742 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 18: we do anticipate it is certainly possible that there will 743 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 18: be both a short term increase in the price of 744 00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 18: prescription medications as a result of the tear tariffs, and 745 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 18: also potentially shortages of certain medications, which is why, while 746 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 18: I don't like the word stockpiling per se, I. 747 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 12: Do believe that it is wise. 748 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,320 Speaker 18: It's rational readiness if you will to have a supply 749 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 18: certainly of those medications that you take regularly your blood 750 00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:22,840 Speaker 18: pressure medication or diabetes medications, example, to have an additional 751 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:27,600 Speaker 18: month or two on hand. Likewise, we suggest that families 752 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 18: have a kit, an emergency kit of some sort that 753 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 18: includes things like antibiotics, anti virals, medications for nausea and vomiting, 754 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:41,200 Speaker 18: and common illnesses, so that you don't have your back 755 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 18: against the wall should these tariffs have an undue impact 756 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:46,880 Speaker 18: on prices or availability. 757 00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,120 Speaker 13: And the well is Company that you work for, we've 758 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,560 Speaker 13: talked about this many times the past. They have these 759 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,880 Speaker 13: which are the gold standard when it comes to a kit. 760 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,520 Speaker 13: Just like you said, antibiotics, antivirals, anti parasitics, and a 761 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,080 Speaker 13: lot more all in one kit that you can carry 762 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,480 Speaker 13: with you. It's one of the many kits available at 763 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 13: the Wellness Company for all sorts of concerns and emergencies. 764 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:13,719 Speaker 18: Right absolutely, you can treate many many common infections and illnesses. 765 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,960 Speaker 18: These are prescription medications. They are written and prescribed for you. 766 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:22,319 Speaker 18: They also comes along with a very detailed guidebook to 767 00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,320 Speaker 18: help you understand how and when to use the different 768 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,800 Speaker 18: medications in the kit. And you can also avail yourself 769 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 18: of a telemedicine visit with one of our physicians if 770 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:35,640 Speaker 18: you have questions. Again, this isn't to spread fear or 771 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:39,200 Speaker 18: fear mongering. It's what I call rational readiness. Have one 772 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,719 Speaker 18: of these kits on hand for your family. We have 773 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,880 Speaker 18: a broad range of kits, including first aid kits, a 774 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 18: field emergency kit that has more extensive supplies to treat 775 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:50,879 Speaker 18: a host of. 776 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 12: Illnesses as well as injuries. 777 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,359 Speaker 18: And it's a thing that you want to have on 778 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,640 Speaker 18: hand before the time comes. You don't want to have 779 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,240 Speaker 18: to run to an urgent care or god forbid, an 780 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 18: emergency department. And particularly if there is an impact on 781 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 18: the price of medications or their availability as a result 782 00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 18: of these tariffs in the short term, it's wise to 783 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:13,680 Speaker 18: have these on hand. 784 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:16,400 Speaker 1: It is wise. 785 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,440 Speaker 13: Don't be scared, be prepared. That's kind of the motto. 786 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,160 Speaker 13: And look in my neighborhood. I see right aids go 787 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 13: out of business and CBS pharmacies go out of business. 788 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,719 Speaker 1: I mean they're everywhere now, they're hard to find in 789 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:29,320 Speaker 1: some places. 790 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 13: So if you're concerned about how close the pharmacy is 791 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,720 Speaker 13: and you have a hurricane, an earthquake, just a power 792 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 13: outage for a couple of days, which are more common 793 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,400 Speaker 13: than they should be, I mean, you need. 794 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 1: To be prepared.
