1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Are we paying other people that aren't working? And you know,

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: where's all this? Where's the money gun?

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 2: We have found hundreds of billions of dollars a fraud

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 2: so far, and we've just started. We're actually going to

5
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 2: Ford Knox to see if the gold is there, because

6
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 2: maybe somebody sold the goals.

7
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: Tons of goals.

8
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

9
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 4: Good Tuesday morning. It's Ben Ferguson with you. It's nice

10
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 4: to have you on the forty seven Morning Update. And

11
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 4: here are the big stories we're talking about today. First up,

12
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 4: Donald Trump not taking the bait from the media, backing

13
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 4: Elon Musk email to government employees, asked him, what did

14
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 4: you do in the last week at work. I have

15
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,599
Speaker 4: the details on that in a moment. Also, you may

16
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 4: remember the Keystone Pipeline. Democrats did everything they could do

17
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 4: to shut it down and it costs countless people their

18
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 4: jobs in this country. Well, now Donald Trump has a

19
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 4: plan to bring the Keystone Pipeline back. And finally Marco

20
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 4: Rubio says enough already ripping the United Nations and many

21
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 4: of the warhawks, they're keeping the war going between Russia

22
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 4: and Ukraine. It's the forty seven Morning Update and it starts.

23
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,559
Speaker 3: Right now, story number one.

24
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 4: On Saturday, Elon Musk, who was appointed by President Donald

25
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 4: Trump to lead the Department of Government Efficiency known as DOGE,

26
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 4: issued an email to all federal employees with a subject line,

27
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 4: what did you do last week?

28
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 5: Now?

29
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 4: The email requested that employees submit a list of five

30
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 4: accomplishments from the previous week by eleven fifty nine pm

31
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 4: on Monday night. Must stated that non responses would be

32
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 4: considered resignations. This directive led to quote widespread confusion the media,

33
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 4: states and resistance across various federal agencies trying to find

34
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 4: a crack in the armor with Donald Trump and Elon

35
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 4: Musk to start a war between the two men. Well,

36
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 4: the President made it pretty clear he wants to know

37
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 4: who's even reading their emails. Well, I'm put pushing back

38
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 4: on you, not on Elon Musk or his email DOGE.

39
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 5: Then do you think that DOGE could benefit from more

40
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 5: streamline communications?

41
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 6: There was that email telling employees to give five things

42
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 6: that they've done last week.

43
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: Agency heads then.

44
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 6: Told people to ignore it.

45
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 2: But the last email that was sent where he wanted

46
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 2: to know what you did this week, you know why.

47
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: You wanted that.

48
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: By the way, I thought it was great because we

49
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 2: have people that don't show up to work and nobody

50
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: even knows if they work for the government. So by

51
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: asking the question tell us what you did this week,

52
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 2: what he's doing is saying are you actually working? And

53
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: then if you don't answer, like you're sort of semi

54
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 2: fired or you're fired because a lot of people are

55
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 2: not answering because they don't even exist. They're trying to

56
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 2: find That's how badly various parts of our government were

57
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: run by it, especially by this last group. So what

58
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: they're doing is they're trying to find out who's working

59
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 2: for the government. Are we paying other people that aren't working?

60
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: And you know where's all that? Where's the money gun some.

61
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 6: Of the Asians.

62
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: So I think it was actually there was a lot

63
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 2: of genius in sending it. We're trying to find out

64
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: if people are working, and so with sending a letter

65
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 2: to people, please tell us what you did last week,

66
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: if people don't respond, it's very possible that there is

67
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: no such person or they're not working.

68
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 7: Some of the agency heads instructed their employees not to

69
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 7: respond because they were waiting on further guidance, but Elon

70
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 7: Musk's tweet said a failure to respond would be taken

71
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 7: as a resignation.

72
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 5: So there's been a disconnect in communications.

73
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 3: Are you concerned all that?

74
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: Oh wait, no, no, no, that was done in a

75
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: friendly manner.

76
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: Only things such as perhaps Marco at State Department where

77
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: they have very confidential things, or the FBI where they're

78
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: working on confidential things. And they don't mean that in

79
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: any way combatively with Elon. They're just saying there are

80
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: some people that you don't want to really have them

81
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: tell you what they're working on. But other than that,

82
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: I think everyone thought it was a pretty ingenious and

83
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: we have to find out where these people are.

84
00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: Who are they?

85
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: He said, If you don't respond, we assume you're not around.

86
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 6: And that holds that stance, and.

87
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: You're not getting paid anymore too. So you know, we're

88
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: doing a real job. And we just had a poll

89
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: come out, I guess the Harvard poll saying that it's

90
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: massively popular what we're doing.

91
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 4: The polls are saying that Donald Trump has this support

92
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 4: of the American people. How do we know this? A

93
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 4: new Harvard Harris poll has come out saying that fifty

94
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 4: eight percent of Americans say that Donald Trump is doing

95
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 4: a better job than Biden. Eighty one percent say they

96
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 4: support deporting criminal aliens, Seventy six percent support eliminating fraud, waste,

97
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 4: and abuse in our government, seventy six percent support closing

98
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 4: the US border, seventy percent support merit based hiring instead

99
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 4: of just government quotas, sixty one percent support reciprocal tariffs,

100
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 4: and sixty percent think that DOGE is helping tremendously in

101
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 4: this country. So if you were thinking the President was

102
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 4: going to back down, or Elon Musk was going to

103
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 4: back down, or they're some sort of war between the two, well,

104
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 4: the media keeps lying to you, and they keep getting

105
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 4: busted lying to you each and every day by this administration.

106
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 3: Now story number two.

107
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 4: Seven years ago, Donald Trump said in the Oval Office

108
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 4: and promised that the Keystone XL pipeline was going to

109
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 4: be built to lower costs for American families and also

110
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 4: so that we would have energy independence. Fast forward seven

111
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 4: years later, and the President is still working on the

112
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 4: project that Democrats have done everything they can do to

113
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 4: stop it. So what did the President say seven years ago?

114
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 4: Here he is in his own words.

115
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: Canada will finally be allowed to complete this long old

116
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: d project with efficiency and with speed. We're working out

117
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: the final details as we speak. It's going to be

118
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: an incredible pipeline, greatest technology known demand or a woman,

119
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 1: and frankly, we're very proud of him. Russ Curling, President

120
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: of France Canada, is right behind me, and I'm gonna

121
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: have to say a few words.

122
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 6: I know, Russ, you've been waiting for a long long time,

123
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 6: and I hope you don't pay your consultants anything because

124
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 6: they had nothing to do with the approval.

125
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 2: In fact, you should ask for the hundreds of millions

126
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 2: of dollars back that you paid that because they didn't

127
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 2: do a damn thing except to get you a no vote.

128
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 5: Right.

129
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 6: It's a great day for American jobs, at a historic

130
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 6: moment for North America and energy independence. This announcement is

131
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 6: part of a new era of American energy policy that

132
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 6: will lower costs for American families.

133
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 4: Seven years ago, the President made that statement. Democrats did

134
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 4: everything they could, as I mentioned earlier, to stop it.

135
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 4: So what is the president saying now? Donald Trump putting

136
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 4: out a statement on Monday that he wants the Keystone

137
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 4: EXL pipeline, which was opposed for years by activists fighting

138
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 4: against climate change, to be built. The pipeline, which was

139
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 4: proposed in eight to bring oil from Canada's western Tarsans

140
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 4: to US refined and was halted in twenty twenty one

141
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 4: by the owner TC Energy Corps after Democratic President Joe

142
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 4: Biden revoked a key permit needed for a US stretch

143
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 4: of the project. Our country is doing really well, and

144
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 4: today I was just thinking that the company behind the

145
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 4: Keystone Exo pipeline that was viciously jettison by the incompetent

146
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 4: Biden administration should come back to America and get it built. Now.

147
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 4: I know they were treated very badly by sleepy Joe Biden,

148
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 4: but the Trump administration is very different. Easy approvals, almost

149
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 4: immediate start. If not, then perhaps another pipeline company. We

150
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 4: want the Keystone Exo pipeline built, Trump said on Truth

151
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 4: Social Now the President has said yet again that he

152
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 4: believes that energy independence is one of the most important

153
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 4: things to lowering inflation and helping the American family be

154
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 4: able to survive day to day. This is something that

155
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 4: the Democrats didn't care about how much you suffered, and

156
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 4: they wanted you to pay a lot for gas at

157
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 4: the pump. They wanted you to pay a lot for

158
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 4: natural gas. They wanted you to suffer and to bow

159
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 4: to their wishes for a green new deal. Donald Trump

160
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 4: making it clear now America is open for business, including

161
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 4: the Keystone XL pipeline.

162
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 3: And finally, story number three, one.

163
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 4: Of the things that's really important that we are going

164
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 4: to be covering on this show each and every day

165
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 4: is when there is clearly propaganda that is being used

166
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 4: against the Trump administration. This may be one of the

167
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 4: biggest flashpoints so far. In the first six weeks of

168
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 4: his administration, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution

169
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 4: condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Ninety three countries voted in favor,

170
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 4: eighteen against, including the United States and Russia. Now, this

171
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 4: immediately turned into propaganda, anti American propaganda, anti Trump propaganda,

172
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 4: saying that Donald Trump is now siding with Russia. It's

173
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 4: easy to buy into that headline if you don't actually

174
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 4: understand the story or why the American government decided to

175
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 4: say no to condemning Russia at the United Nations. Marco Rubio,

176
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 4: Secretary of State, ripped the United Nations as antagonistic and

177
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 4: warmongers trying to keep the Ukraine Russia war continuing on

178
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 4: and on forever. I want you to hear what the

179
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 4: Secretary of State said about this vote so that you

180
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 4: understand the real story behind it.

181
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 5: Take a listen of news today. Are the United States

182
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 5: voted against a europe led resolution at the United Nations

183
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 5: to condemn Russia for the invasion of Ukraine, and then

184
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 5: later a US led resolution passed the Security Council. Talk

185
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 5: to us what happened there?

186
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, on the broader resolution, we think the UN

187
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 7: needs to get if it's going to be useful in

188
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 7: the twenty first century. The UN needs to get back

189
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 7: to its charter mission, which is the prevention and the

190
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 7: ending of war and conflict. And so we felt everyone knows.

191
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 7: You know, you can go back and read the newspaper

192
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 7: articles over the last three years and figure out what

193
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 7: happened in Ukraine. But now, as the President's made very clear,

194
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 7: President Trump wants to end this war. He thinks far

195
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 7: too many people have died and he wants to bring

196
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 7: it to an end. So we didn't feel it was conducive, frankly,

197
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 7: to have something out there at the UN that's antagonistic

198
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 7: against either side. We're trying to get these guys to

199
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 7: the table, and unfortunately Ukraine didn't agree. They wanted to

200
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 7: move forward on theirs. We then went to the Security

201
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 7: Council with our compromise, which I think is a very

202
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 7: fair language, and it basically says war is a terrible thing.

203
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm paraphrasing and I'm being simplistic, but it

204
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 7: says war is a terrible thing. Way too many people

205
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 7: have died. This war needs to end in a way

206
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 7: that's enduring, an essence echoing President Trump's view of what

207
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 7: this conflict needs to be and reminding the United Nations

208
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 7: at the purpose of the United Nations was the prevention

209
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 7: of war and the ending of conflicts, not making it

210
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 7: harder to end conflicts. So I thought it was good

211
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 7: that we got it done at the Security Council. The

212
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 7: Russians didn't veto it, which is a good sign. I'm

213
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 7: not telling you that that is going to end this conflict,

214
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 7: and I can't wait till at least the Phonic is there,

215
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 7: because it'd be great to have her leadership. But I

216
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 7: certainly think our language is better language, and hopefully further

217
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 7: is the cause of peace.

218
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 5: President Trump today alongside French President Emanuel Macron, said that

219
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 5: he hopes that this can be resolved in a matter

220
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 5: of weeks, not months. Weeks. What are some of the

221
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 5: major steps that we need to take to get to

222
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 5: that point.

223
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 7: Well, I think the President would want it to end yesterday, right.

224
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 7: He thinks already too many people have died, There's been

225
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 7: too much destruction. By the way, I think everybody should

226
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 7: be very happy that President Trump is a peace president.

227
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 7: We have a president that wants to end wars, not

228
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 7: start new ones. He wants to end human suffering, not

229
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 7: exacerbated or extended. Now that said, it's a conflict, it's

230
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 7: a war, and it's going back and forth. We got

231
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 7: to get them both to the table, starting with the Russians.

232
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 7: So we met with them last week and the basic

233
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 7: question of that meeting was are you interested in ending

234
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 7: this conflict or not? A lot of people don't know

235
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 7: the answer to that. If you talked to some in Europe,

236
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 7: they'll tell you that Putin is not interested in ending

237
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 7: the war. They said they would be under the right conditions.

238
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 7: We didn't discuss what those conditions were. So the next

239
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 7: step now is to meet with them again at some

240
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 7: point with the right group of people in the room,

241
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 7: and begin to outline what would it take for Russia

242
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 7: to stop a war. And obviously we got to ask

243
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 7: Ukraine the same question, because you can't stop a war

244
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 7: unless both sides agree to it. So whether it takes

245
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 7: days or weeks or what have you, we're going to

246
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 7: begin that process. It may not work out, But why

247
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 7: would anybody criticize President Trump for wanting to end a

248
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 7: war that's cost billions of dollars, hundreds of thousands of lives,

249
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 7: and tremendous and ongoing human suffering.

250
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 4: You listen to what Marco Rubio said there, and now

251
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 4: you understand exactly why they decided to not try to

252
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 4: antagonize two countries. You're wanting to get to the table

253
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 4: to end the war. Now, the media is not going

254
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 4: to tell you this part of the story. They're not

255
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 4: gonna play for you what I just played from you

256
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 4: for Marco Rubio. And this is exactly why I say,

257
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 4: I hope you take the information that I give you

258
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 4: every day here and you give it to others that

259
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 4: you know, because without all of us telling the story,

260
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 4: the media will continue to lie and.

261
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,480
