1
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:06,519
Speaker 1: Hey, they're folks. It is Friday, August fifteenth, and we

2
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: are such losers that we planned our entire Friday and

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: Friday night around a press conference having to do with

4
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,799
Speaker 1: the President of Russia and the President of the United States.

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 2: We thought this was going to be musty television. Wanted

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 2: to have a cocktail in hand. It was definitely past

7
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 2: five o'clock where.

8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: We were, and boy, have we been let down. Welcome

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: to this episode of Amy DJ Road. It's kind of

10
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: weird to say, but we absolutely as we're recording this,

11
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: we planned the day and a Friday evening. This is

12
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: our It's a really big day for us. We have

13
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: very early mornings all week. Friday is a big deal.

14
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: We wanted to watch this press conference because we said

15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: earlier this is must see television.

16
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: Not only is it history in the making, You've got

17
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: the President of Russia vla Putin, meeting with on American

18
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 2: soil in Alaska, meeting with the President of the United

19
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 2: States amid this war with Ukraine and pursuing peaces in

20
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: the backdrop, and this is a moment where we may

21
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 2: get a huge announcement about a ceasefire. At least that's

22
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 2: what President Trump was touting, you have journalists from all

23
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: around the world waiting on the edge of their seats

24
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 2: for these two powerful men, two of the most powerful

25
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: men in the world, to walk out and have this

26
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 2: joint press conference.

27
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,199
Speaker 3: And how long did it last?

28
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: To ten minutes, eleven minutes something like that. This was

29
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: a big, fat dud in terms of news worthiness. And

30
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: I say that because, yes, the biggest goal, I mean

31
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: really from a news world and humanitarian standpoint, there was

32
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: potential these who could walk out and say that this

33
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: war has killed untold thousands, or the past three and

34
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: a half years is over. Yes, that was a possibility.

35
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,279
Speaker 2: Yes, and President Trump is actively hoping to at least

36
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: up his chances of a nobel peace price. So you know,

37
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: he is highly motivated to make this happen, and it

38
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: has said as much. But the most entertaining, and I

39
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 2: hate to even use the word entertaining, but the most interesting,

40
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 2: fascinating and yes, entertaining part of this whole evening was

41
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 2: watching the news media, our fellow colleagues scramble not really

42
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 2: knowing what to say or to do. When Trump and

43
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 2: Putin just walked off the stage. There was no actual detail,

44
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: There was no deal. It appears there was no word

45
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: ceasefire used and there were no questions being taken, and

46
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 2: I think that's.

47
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 3: What really threw so many reporters, so.

48
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 2: Many anchors who traveled to Anchorage to be there to

49
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: get their question, to actually press either one of the

50
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: leaders on any of these fine points. It was so vague,

51
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: it was so obscure, and nothing happened.

52
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: I don't know there is the expectations should have been

53
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: high and should have been off the charts. This was

54
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: the first meeting between the president of these two countries

55
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: since twenty twenty one. To have them two face to

56
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: face is a big deal. To have them face to

57
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: face on American soil is a big deal. To have

58
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: these two personalities, yes, face to face is a big deal.

59
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: And to have the potential for this war to end

60
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: is a big deal. Rogues We've been talking about it

61
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: was it Monday? When was the announcement made that this

62
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: meeting was gonna happen the beginning of the week, right,

63
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: this is every single day, been talking about this, the expectations,

64
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: what's possible because Zelenski possibly come to this, that all

65
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: of this build up and rogues we're watching and we

66
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: talked about the build up, and you know, people will

67
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: see the TV coverage. It's just a live camera. You

68
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: just see the room. The room starts filling out. There

69
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: are more people in the chairs and more and more,

70
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: and then we see the big dogs come in and

71
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: sit in the front seat and we're like, all right,

72
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: this is it and they finally come out. Now Putin

73
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: spoke first, didn't say a whole lot. The thing that

74
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: jumped out was a compliment, a compliment that he went

75
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: out of his way to give President Trump and to

76
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: essentially confirm something that Trump has been the preaching for

77
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: quite a while.

78
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 2: This was for me, probably the biggest moment just in

79
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: terms of whoa he actually said that. So President Putin

80
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: said during this news conference that he can confirm he

81
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: would not have attacked Ukraine had Trump been president in

82
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. And while Putin said this, they had

83
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 2: a shot of President Trump and he was beaming as

84
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: Putin said this. So was this planned? Was this a

85
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 2: gift that Putin gave Trump? Trump's going to give him

86
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 2: something in return behind the scenes, I don't know, but

87
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: it did seem fairly bold and it wasn't backed up

88
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: with any explanation as to why he wouldn't have attacked

89
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: Ukraine if Trump were president.

90
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: Well, he was giving some explanation that he tried with

91
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: and he mentioned Biden. He mentioned Trump's predecessors, mentioned that

92
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: he had conversations with the predecessor and tried to convince

93
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: Biden of something that isolation should not be brought to

94
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: the point of no return, he said, and mentioned the

95
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: other guy who was in office, and he set the

96
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: whole thing up. This was flattery. You could argue Putin

97
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: has been given what former KGB guy, This guy knows

98
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: how to manipulate the world. This was flattery. And you

99
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: know how much Trump appreciated Putin getting up. How many

100
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: times have we heard Trump say that that war never

101
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: would have started I was in office.

102
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 2: He said it repeatedly and often, and so to have

103
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 2: President Putin confirm it in front of the world during

104
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: this press conference when not a lot else was said,

105
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 2: this was probably a headline making statement because there really

106
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,119
Speaker 2: wasn't another worthy headline making statement said by either world leader.

107
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: There you go. Headline is that there is no headline.

108
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: That's a good way to wit ropes. There is actually

109
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: no headline that came out of this, I think it

110
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: became interesting to us. They use the word agreement, they said,

111
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: because of the I have it right right. They kept

112
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: saying something about an agreement that's been reached.

113
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 3: There, Yes, an agreement's been reached.

114
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 2: They said that they've made some really great progress today,

115
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 2: but they wouldn't give any specific.

116
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 3: Details about what that progress was.

117
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: They talked about having a great relationship, they made some

118
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 2: great headway. But the other probably headline is that Trump

119
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 2: said there's no deal until there's a deal.

120
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 3: So you could.

121
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: Infer I don't know if those two things don't really jibe.

122
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 2: To say that we've reached an agreement and then to

123
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: hear there's no deal until there's a deal. That is

124
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: a confusing two statements that were said within a matter

125
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 2: of minutes of one another.

126
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: They gave no specific I mean, I mean they were

127
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: barely even vague.

128
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 3: You could argue that barely even vague.

129
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: Kept saying many points we agreed on something that Trump said,

130
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 1: extremely productive, meaning many points we agreed to. Some that

131
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: are left one probably the most significant. We have a

132
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: very good chance of there. We didn't get there. What

133
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: those are direct quotes, I mean, that's what they said

134
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: I'm not lacking context or some other parts of that quote.

135
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: That's what they're saying, and they just didn't give a

136
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: whole lot. I'm sure some information will start to trick

137
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: a lout, but as of now, it's just amazing that

138
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: the build up that the build up to this week

139
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: and the potential for what it could be turned out

140
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: to be a big fat nothing. So they both split time.

141
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: President Putin spoke for the first half of it. Then

142
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: President Trump spoke, and even while they were speaking, you

143
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: could see Robe and this happens, reporters were sticking their

144
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: hands up, well, try to get it's not your time.

145
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: They're still speaking, they know, but they'll they'll try just

146
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: in case a leader might say, oh, to hell with it,

147
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: and that's and take a question. Hands kept going up.

148
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: Trump kept speaking. You could tell Trump was wrapping up.

149
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: Then you could see those hands really start going up.

150
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: And then something weird happened. Robes. President Trump in front

151
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: of the world and a room full of reporters did

152
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: not take.

153
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: Questions, and that is highly unusual. This is a president

154
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: who always takes questions. You could almost say we saw

155
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 2: him on the way to Alaska with the press on

156
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 2: his plane, peeping his head into where the reporters.

157
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 3: Were answering questions playfully.

158
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: This is someone who loves to engage with reporters and

159
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,559
Speaker 2: the media, and certainly in this moment, this was his moment.

160
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 3: A meeting he called a meeting. The world was watching.

161
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: It seemed incredibly odd that he didn't take questions, and

162
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 2: you could see how thrown the reporters were. You could

163
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,719
Speaker 2: see how thrown the media was. Everyone thought there was

164
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 2: going to be a lot to chew on.

165
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 3: We included in that group.

166
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 2: We were expecting to be taking copious notes and really

167
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 2: leaning in and listening to how he handled all of

168
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: these questions. He did not take one, which was wild.

169
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 2: Also well, the meeting was reportedly supposed to be like

170
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 2: six or seven hours of discussions between Putin and Trump.

171
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 3: The reports are that they only.

172
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: Had about half of that, about three hours of talks,

173
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 2: and so there's questions about just how much progress was

174
00:08:58,880 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 2: made or not made.

175
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: Another change was the one on one. It was supposed

176
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: to be one on one, It ended up being three

177
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: on three. I think that uh Rubio and then the

178
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: Middle East envoy on the US side joined Trump for

179
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: the meeting, and then a couple of envoys on the

180
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: other side joint, so that was a change as well.

181
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: Just I think it became and all the networks had

182
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: their they cut into their coverage tonight to do this.

183
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: I don't think they would have done it had they

184
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: know there was going to be no news and a

185
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: twelve minute press conference of just a couple of flat statements.

186
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 2: You don't break into Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune, you

187
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 2: know that unless you think this is going to be huge.

188
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: And everyone had their big dogs, their main anchors, their

189
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 2: most prominent journalists on this story waiting for some major

190
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 2: news to be broken, and it just didn't happen.

191
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 3: It was a big womp wan Okay.

192
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: So this is where it got funny to us because

193
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: we have been there, done that in our television broadcasting,

194
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: our news careers. So as it was so abrupt, and

195
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: given it's Trump, we could have actually braced ourselves for

196
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: another hour of those press conference of him. So he's

197
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 1: done that no problem in the past. So he stops talking.

198
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: They both come around the podiums and shake hands and

199
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: take pictures and they're walking off now robes. We saw

200
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: almost panic on the faces of some of the correspond

201
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,479
Speaker 1: absolute panic, Wait a minute, what do we do now.

202
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: And what just happened and what do we actually report?

203
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 2: And so as we were listening to it, and we

204
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 2: only laugh because we know because we've been there. But

205
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: basically it was just anchors throwing to reporters who were

206
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 2: repeating that they didn't know anything, back and forth through

207
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: each other, to the point where we both looked at

208
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: each other and started laughing, because, yes, you have to

209
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 2: fill the air somehow, some way, but when you don't

210
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 2: have information, you keep talking about what you didn't hear,

211
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 2: what you don't know, and what you expected them to

212
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 2: say that they didn't say, and you don't know what

213
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 2: it means.

214
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 3: And that is what we got from.

215
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 2: And just every single network was in the same boat,

216
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 2: and every single correspondent was struggling to find the words

217
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 2: and then just kept repeating the same words over and over.

218
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: It Actually that became the entertainment of the evening, was

219
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 2: to watch our fellow colleagues. And yes, we again are

220
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 2: commiserating because we know how hard it is. Live television

221
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 2: is one of the hardest things to do in the world.

222
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 2: And when you have that kind of pressure with this

223
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 2: kind of story, and you literally have no information.

224
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 3: It's it's it's challenging. Let's just say.

225
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: Reporting a story. Yes, this was this is the biggest

226
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: story going right now. This could look we're talking about

227
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: a press conference, but we're talking about ending a war,

228
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: and so everybody's chopping at the bit. What did they discuss,

229
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: what did they agree to? They could get us closer

230
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: to that? And all they did, Like I said, they

231
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: don't even breadcrumbs. We don't even know where to what

232
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: to even ask. And because they were so they're okay,

233
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 1: had this has got to be the issue. Whatever they

234
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: did agree to had to be so insignificant, so small,

235
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: that they didn't even want to take a question about it.

236
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: They didn't even want to be challenged on it, because

237
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: obviously it must not be a big deal.

238
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 2: Now, yes, I would agree with you, because he would

239
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 2: have wanted to tout something, to have something to say,

240
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: see what we did, here's what we did. You would

241
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 2: want to roll out your list of accomplishments from the meeting,

242
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 2: actual things that happen that are going to change or

243
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 2: at least end or lead to the end of this war.

244
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 2: Trump is expected to sit down, though, with a one

245
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 2: on one interview with Fox News before he heads back home,

246
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 2: So that might be happening right now. Actually, as we're

247
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 2: recording this, it will be interesting to see just how

248
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 2: much he is pressed on those details if and when

249
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: he actually does sit down and do this interview.

250
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: Okay, so there were a bunch of interesting moments, not

251
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: a lot of information, but a couple of interesting moments.

252
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: But one of maybe the most interesting nuggets that came

253
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: out of it happened at the absolute end at the

254
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: press conference, and it had to do with an invitation

255
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: that was extended from one leader to the other.

256
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: Welcome back everyone to this edition of Amy and TJ,

257
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 2: where we just watched that uh press conference that really

258
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 2: wasn't much of anything at all, highly anticipated, the world watching,

259
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 2: reporters scrambling to try.

260
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 3: And figure out what the hell just happened or didn't happen.

261
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: And as we were waiting for any kind of clue

262
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 2: as to what agreement or if a ceasefire had been reached,

263
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 2: it was just a lot of generic, vague statements of progress.

264
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: We've agreed to some things, not other things, and then

265
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: one big thing we couldn't agree on, but we'll see.

266
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 2: But no questions, no questions, And there was you just

267
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 2: rough before we went to break this this very interesting,

268
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 2: odd moment that happened.

269
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 3: It couldn't have been planned.

270
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. The way they talk about Pootin, everything

271
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: seems planned. It seemed like he might have had this

272
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: up his sleeve and was ready to do that in

273
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: front of the world. But I thought that was a

274
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: hell of a It seemed like it threw Trump all

275
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: but Trump, but you know what he was, He's quick

276
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: on his feet. He had a response.

277
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 3: He certainly did.

278
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: So.

279
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 2: Putin invited Trump to meet with him in Moscow next

280
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 2: so he said, you know, hey, we should we should

281
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 2: keep talking. He's like, yes, next time in Moscow. And

282
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 2: Trump called the idea interesting, but then quickly said, hey,

283
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 2: I'm going to give a little heat for that one

284
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: if I if I end up going to Moscow.

285
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 3: So like, he made no promises.

286
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 2: But it was a quick little moment of levity that

287
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 2: Putin added to an otherwise awkward and uneventful press conference.

288
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: But he put him on public notice. The idea of

289
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: the President of the United States going to Moscow.

290
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 4: Nah, I could see that I could see this president,

291
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 4: this president President Trump doing it in an effort to

292
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 4: as he is again chasing that Nobel Peace Prize, saying

293
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 4: I did what I had to do.

294
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 3: To make the world a safer place, a more peaceful place.

295
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: You know, I'm looking at the play by play robes

296
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: here of NBC. I didn't realize we talked about the split.

297
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: It apparently went eleven twelve minutes. I didn't realize Putin

298
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: they kept a clock. He spoke eight minutes and the

299
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: President only spoke for three.

300
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 3: What that is wild?

301
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: Wow for Trump. For President Trump, who has made such

302
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 2: a show of this meeting, and even like we saw

303
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 2: him on the Air Force one on the plane heading

304
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 2: to Alaska.

305
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: He was he gave interviews, he did a press gaggle, he.

306
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 2: Was walking and talking and jovial and excited. This was

307
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 2: his moment. He's meeting with Putin. He's going to change

308
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 2: the world. So for oh my goodness, I didn't realize

309
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 2: he only spoke for three minutes.

310
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 3: So that tells you all you need to know.

311
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 2: If President Trump chose to only speak for three minutes

312
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 2: after this major meeting with Putin, he did not get

313
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 2: what he wanted.

314
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: He didn't That is so true. All right, Well, folks,
