00:00Yes, he's making progress, but people are still dying.

00:03People are dying in Russia and Ukraine.

00:05Many people are still dying within Gaza.

00:08So the talks are all good, but blood's still being shed.

00:11No, that's true, except they were dying before President Trump in both of those theaters,

00:16military theaters, before President Trump became president.

00:19I think he's pushed an agenda of negotiation and hopefully peace.

00:24Because the challenge President Trump has, and as you mentioned, I am very familiar with

00:30John McCain, is that there has to be a structure here of verification of what the parties commit

00:37to do.

00:38We just saw what happened in Yemen.

00:40So we can rush a ceasefire in both theaters, but let's talk about Gaza, only to find guerrilla

00:49warfare and ambushes, which Israel cannot tolerate.

00:51But your question about President Trump, yes, he is a person, remember, that said he would

00:57end the war on day one with Ukraine.

00:59That has not happened.

01:01But I have to give him credit that he is putting considerable pressure on our allies, which

01:09are really Ukraine and Israel, to be more flexible than they have been willing to do so in the

01:14past.
