• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, at the end of today there was
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: no deal reached, but the proper parties were called, and
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: we might be on our way to an even more
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: historic moment with a trilateral meeting between Trump, Putin and Zelenski.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: But I gotta come in Zelensky. He was very well
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: behaved today, and why are you talking down to him? Well,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: he did kind of act petulant the last time he
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: was in the White House, and I thought he was
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: getting beat up on unnecessarily by JD. Vance, who was
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: nowhere near to be found, by the way, it was
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: just Trump and him. And then I thought the leaders
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: of NATO and the European nations that were there, France, Macron, Italy, Maloney, Germany, Finland,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, all these different nations, and of course the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: NATO Secretary General, who normally, when we're seeing all them
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: together at different summits, make fun of Trump. They got
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: down to business today and they were very serious. So
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I got to commend all parties for being united. I
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: got to commend all parties for being heads down and
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: just getting to it because we've seen over the years
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the international community look at Trump as a joke. We've
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: seen over the years Zelensky and Trump be intertangled on
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: phone calls and many other things that have been odd.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: But today, for the first time in a Trump presidency
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: either one, there was this need, the sense of unity
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: and more importantly, the sense of unity against Vladimir Putin
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: and Russia. I have not sensed a sense of coming
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: to to gather a sense of thanking Trump in the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: last what nine ten years, But in his second term
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: he has commanded this and taken the lead and in
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: not in a talking down, disparaging way this time. But really,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: we're going to get this done for you, Vladimir Zelensky.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: We are. The sense of hope from today should not
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: leave us. The sense of unity today should not leave us.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Our allies and the United States are on a united front,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: and I think that is beautiful. But I have to
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: leave you with this today. President Trump did make this
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: speculation and joke which you might have heard already, if
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: not here, it.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Is too quickly upon peace, God willing me get peace.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Are you open to holding an election? In your head
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: at yes, of course we're open for an election. Yes,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: we have to do safety circumstances and a little bit
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: we need to work in the parliament because during the
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: war you can't have elections, but we can. We can't
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: do security.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: We need maybe how to say, we need a truth
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: yes everywhere in the battlefield, in the sky and to
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: see yeah, to make it possible for people to to
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: do democratic, open, liberal, liberal elections.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: So you say, during.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: The war you can't have elections.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: So let me just say three and a half years
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: from now.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: So you mean, if we happen to be in a
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: war with somebody, no more elections.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: So I wonder what the paws I got a question
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: for you.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, you don't say that, you
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: don't say that, and I know's gonna be like, what
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: do you mean you don't say that, You don't say that,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: you don't make that joke. Because if three years later,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: here we are on August eighteenth, twenty twenty eight, and
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: we're in a war, we getting pinpoint to this moment
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: when Zelensky planted a seed. And I've been thinking about
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: this today because Zelenski did postpone the election. But but
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I have to say, because Ukraine's smaller, I can understand
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: why they would have to cancel an election, But twenty
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: twenty did happen, and Trump didn't cancel the election then,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: so I want to believe that was all a joke.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: But just in bookmarking that clip in case things go
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: chaotic in twenty twenty eight, which we pray not, that's
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: it for today. A deal was not reached, but progress
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: was made. And I hope you've enjoyed this coverage of
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: the Alaska summit, now the White House Summit, and next
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: the Trilateral summit. How about that
