For example, He's fired in ukree is close 18 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: er than ever to becoming a reality after the President 19 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 1: spoke with the leaders of both Russia and Ukraine this week. 20 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,479 Speaker 2: There's still a number of steps to get. 21 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 1: Through before even a partials as far as reach, but 22 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: we now know the two sides are at least open 23 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: to it, and in the Middle East, the President, his 24 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: team and their allies are working to get Americans held 25 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: hostage in that region home, and they secured the release 26 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: today of another American. In a story just the newsbroke, 27 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: the Trump administration and its negotiators, alongside our allies from Qatar, 28 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: were able to secure the release of American hostage Glenn 29 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: Glesman from the Taliban. He was taken by the group 30 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: while traveling through the Middle East as a tourist in 31 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. 32 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,839 Speaker 2: He's been captating for nearly three years. 33 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: The President and his team had previously secured the release 34 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: of two other Americans from Taliban custody, Ryan Corbett and 35 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: William McKenty. We'll have much more in this story in 36 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: just a few minutes because we'll be joined by a 37 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: Katari spokesman to explain the role they played in this 38 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: hostage release. And shortly before the show went on air tonight, 39 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: President Trump signed an executive order to begin closing the 40 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: Department of Edgecation. Here's the President's explanation why he's doing it. 41 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 3: We're going to be returning education very simply back to 42 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 3: the States where it belongs. 43 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 2: And this is a. 44 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 3: Very popular thing to do, but much more importantly, it's 45 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 3: a common sense thing to do. 46 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 2: And it's going to work. Absolutely, it's going to work. 47 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 3: And I can tell you from dealing with the governors 48 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 3: and others in the state, they want it so badly. 49 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 3: They want to take their children back and really teach 50 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 3: their children individually. Probably the cost will be half and 51 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,519 Speaker 3: the education will be maybe many, many times better. 52 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 2: Common sense. 53 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: We've heard that a lot lately, and in fact, you're 54 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: beginning to see Americans describe what's going on in Washington 55 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: as common sense. That's the word I think we're going 56 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: to hear a lot more of as the Trump administration 57 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: of the forty seventh presidency unfolds. Now in the room, 58 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: when the President made that signal on the executive order 59 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: and explain what he was doing, was our very own 60 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: and my amazing co host, Amanda and Amanda, pretty big moment. 61 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 3: Yes. 62 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 4: Now, the pharmise delivered absolutely another one in the victory column. 63 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 4: He told us exactly why he is looking to close 64 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 4: the Department of Education and return its powers back to 65 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 4: the States, and it's really kind of hard to argue 66 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 4: with what he had to say. Once you hear this. 67 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 2: Check it out. 68 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 3: After forty five years, the United States spends more money 69 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 3: on education by far than any other country, and spends 70 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 3: likewise by far more money per pupil than any country. 71 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: And it's not even close. 72 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 3: But yet we rank near the bottom of the list 73 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 3: in terms of success. It's an amazing stat that's those 74 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 3: are two stats. 75 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 2: You don't want. 76 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 3: The most money spent per pupil and you're at the 77 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 3: bottom of the list. Seventy percent of eighth graders are 78 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 3: not proficient in either reading or in mass seventy percent. 79 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 3: Forty percent of fourth grade is lack even basic reading skills, 80 00:03:59,560 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 3: can't read. 81 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 4: Damning statistics. Senate really leads you to wonder what is 82 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 4: the Department of Education good for other than investing in 83 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 4: DEI agenda. Those results indicate that it really hasn't been 84 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 4: helping American students for a long time now. And turning 85 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 4: now to congressional leadership here in Washington, d C. We 86 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 4: were talking a little bit about this last night with 87 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 4: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. A congresswoman and former Speaker 88 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 4: of the House, Nancy Pelosi jabbed him a little bit 89 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 4: for caving in and not standing in the way of 90 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 4: the Republican led CR And we also had the news 91 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 4: of the first congressional Democrat calling for a change of 92 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 4: leadership in the Senate, Marilyn Congressman Glenn Ivy went on 93 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 4: record to say Senator Schumer should step down. While Schumer 94 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 4: was also on PBS earlier and he revealed a little 95 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 4: bit about the current Democrat operation. And I don't entirely 96 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 4: know if he divulged a little too much or not. 97 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 4: But take a listen, you be the judge. 98 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 5: We are mobilizing in New York. We have people going 99 00:04:54,920 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 5: to the Republican districts and going after these republic Bokans 100 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 5: who are voting for this and forcing them to face 101 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 5: change their vote or face the consequences. 102 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 4: So I don't know, it sounds like a whole lot 103 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 4: more excuse making. And that's what we've been hearing from 104 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 4: a lot of Democrats. And yet the approval rating John 105 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 4: for President Trump, I believe it was at forty nine 106 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 4: percent today, which is the highest it has ever been 107 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 4: in either one of his terms. 108 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. No, there's a lot going on in terms of success. 109 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: And I think you know today the Education Department's a 110 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: checklisting yep. But earlier in the day, when you bring 111 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: home a hostage. She's been on the ground for three 112 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: years in captivity of Taliban. That's not exactly on the list, 113 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: so you know, always is at a priority. But he 114 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: surprises us from all different directions. And I think one 115 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: of the things that we're beginning to understand as we 116 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: look at the Russia Ukraine negotiations, as we look at 117 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: what went on with the Taliban today and what we 118 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: looked at not too long ago with Israel and Hamas. 119 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: Katar a long time ally in the Middle East. It's 120 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: a tiny country, but it has a long shadow of diplomacy. 121 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: It's helping us in so many different ways right now. 122 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: And I know in a second we're going to turn 123 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: to one of the chief advisors to the Katari Prime 124 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: minister to explain what happened. 125 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 2: But Qatar keep an eye on what's going on there. 126 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: Earlier in the year, they were getting children back from 127 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: Russia that had been kidnapped from Ukraine and exchanging Russians 128 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: who are kidnapped by Ukraine. 129 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 2: They're making bridges all across. 130 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: The country now and I think the all of the world, 131 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: and they're going to be one of the secret sauces, 132 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: I think to the Trump administration's negotiating strategy. They've done 133 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 1: so much already, all right, as we promise, right, I 134 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: mean that all the way from Doha, the capital of Qatar, 135 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: the advisor to the Katari Prime Minister and the chief spokesman, 136 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: doctor Majid Al I'm sorry, hello Sarah. 137 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 6: Again. 138 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 2: It is good to have you on, sir. What a 139 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 2: great honor. 140 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: This is another major victory obviously for the Trump administration. 141 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: But again, Qatar in the background doing really important diplomatic work. 142 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 2: Don't get a lot of. 143 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: Credit until something like this happens, but every day you 144 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: guys are playing a role. Tell us how this Taliban 145 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: release came to be. 146 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 6: Well, John, we've been working on this for so many 147 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 6: months now. 148 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 7: We know this is the process that ended. 149 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 6: Up with Corbett and McKenty being home with their families. 150 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 6: And we continued working with the interim government in Afghanistan 151 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 6: and with the administration in Washington. 152 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 7: And since President Trump came to power, we're told. 153 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 6: Hey, let's see what we can do to bring George 154 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 6: back home to his family also, and we started immediately 155 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 6: working on that talking to the interim government. We know 156 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 6: this administration is brave enough, it's bold enough to take 157 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 6: the necessary decision. They said, listen, we're willing to talk 158 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 6: to actually to the Taliban to get George back home. 159 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 6: And this is exactly what happened.

Why wasn't Why didn't this happen 184 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 4: under Joe Biden?

I don't think Americans realize how much guitar 202 00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: is involved in right now, they're involved in the Russia 203 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: you brain matter, certainly, even creating goodwill between two countries 204 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: that are warring by the exchange of children. You were 205 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,839 Speaker 1: at the table all the way through the Hamas negotiations 206 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: and getting many of those hostages released. Can you bring 207 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: us up to speed?

Actually, 212 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 6: as we speak, we're working on ten different mediations. You know, 213 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 6: we just had the Presidence of Onanda the DX in 214 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 6: Doha for the first meeting between the two leaders since 215 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 6: the crisis over there. As we said, we're working on Russia, Ukraine, 216 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 6: We're working on Hamas, Israel. All of these mediations. You 217 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 6: know some of them, you hear about some of them. 218 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 6: You don't take a lot of toll in our machine here, 219 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 6: but we're committed to it, and certainly foremost is the 220 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 6: war in Gresident the situation over there. 221 00:10:59,080 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 7: You know, since the. 222 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 6: Staces have begun again, we have a post at more 223 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 6: than five hundred people being killed in that there's a 224 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 6: number that we do not want to see, the numbers 225 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 6: that we cannot even fathom the need for right now, 226 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 6: and this is why we within the daily difficult situation 227 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 6: we have right now, we're continuing to engage. 228 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 7: Our Prime Minister was on the phone today. 229 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 6: With the Egyptian Foreign Minister and he and they agreed 230 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 6: and said in their communicating their activity that we will 231 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 6: continue working on this and finding avenues of peace. This 232 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 6: is not an easy conflict to mediate. Tensions are very 233 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 6: high on both sides. There's a complete loss of trust 234 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 6: on both sides. We were able, with the help of 235 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 6: the President Trump administration to get the ceasefire and in place. 236 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 6: It lasted for more than forty days. But we need 237 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 6: to go back now to the drawing table and find 238 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 6: the Rice formula. We have course urged both parties to 239 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 6: go back to the agreement that was signed, but we 240 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 6: will not continue in you know, finding innovative ways of 241 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 6: getting back to the negotiation table and making both sides 242 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 6: agree to another ceasefire that will hopefully lead to an 243 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 6: end to this. 244 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 2: War, Sir. 245 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 4: When President Trump took office the first time, a lot 246 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 4: of his naysayers said, he's a businessman, he knows nothing 247 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 4: about diplomacy and foreign policy. He's going to start World 248 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 4: War three, and you know, all of these criticisms against 249 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 4: criticisms against him. Yet we saw the Abraham Accords, something 250 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,719 Speaker 4: that was so historic in that region. And I want 251 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 4: to ask you from your perspective and cutter for his 252 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 4: second term this time around. I know a lot of 253 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 4: people obviously want to see an expansion of the Abraham Accords. 254 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 4: Where do you see more opportunities for that to happen? 255 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 6: You know, Amanda, we've always seen President Trump as a 256 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,439 Speaker 6: decision maker. We've always seen him as a pragmatic leader, 257 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 6: and we've always. 258 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 7: Seen him as a deal maker. 259 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 6: And it's just the same with His Highness the end over. 260 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 6: They both men deal makers, both men not pragmatic, and 261 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 6: both men are decisive. And this is why during the 262 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 6: first Trump administration, you know, we had the end of 263 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 6: the longest wall in US history in Afghanistan with the 264 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 6: mediation of Gutad, and now we had ceasefire. Even before 265 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 6: President Trump came into the White House for this term, 266 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 6: he was able to bring through that deal, and this 267 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 6: is why we have great trust in the administration that 268 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 6: will help us and getting a lot of these deals across. 269 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 6: I think one of the main things we have to 270 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 6: say right now is that our region in the Middle East, 271 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 6: and not only our region. If you look at the 272 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 6: world today, if you put your you know, one finger 273 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 6: on the Atlantic Ocean, another finger on the Pacific Ocean, 274 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 6: anything in between is probably conflict one. 275 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 7: Way or the other. There's the failure of the central state. 276 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 6: Are the conflicts internal and external all around the world. 277 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 6: There's a lot that needs to be done, and I 278 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 6: think one of the main things right now is to 279 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 6: stop and put a cap on the conflicts that have 280 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 6: taken so many lives right now, the situation in Raza, 281 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 6: situation in Ukraine, situation in Sudan, situation in Yemen and 282 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 6: Libya and other places. And we are hoping that with 283 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 6: the Trump administration we can start, you know, putting on 284 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 6: the victory column. As you just said about local politics, 285 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 6: and a lot of these conflicts has done, dusted and 286 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 6: ready to start with the reconstruction and getting people's lives 287 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 6: together and this is something we believe that we can 288 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 6: do in partnership with the United States. 289 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you have already done. I mean, the record 290 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:16,079 Speaker 2: is clear. 291 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: So I want to ask one last question because a 292 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: lot of people probably don't know the role that you've 293 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: played in lessening hostilities and opening the door for Ukraine 294 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: and Russia maybe to get a piecedale with President Trump. 295 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: And it began with the exchange of children back in 296 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: the I think November December holiday time frame here in America. 297 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: You guys are at the table regularly between two countries. 298 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: What is your assessment of where these talks go? Is 299 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: there a chance for a sease far or a limited 300 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: seas fire in the days ahead? 301 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 6: Now, obviously, John, we've we've been working on this issue 302 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 6: for a very long time, from even the first couple 303 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 6: of days. 304 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 7: When this happened. 305 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 6: How a Prime minister was in Moscow extending a hand 306 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 6: of a mediator and saying, listen, we're ready to mediate 307 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 6: whenever today's a chance to.
