Speaker 1 (00:00):
Garry Sadelemyer, Jim Rose and Company. Welcoming twenty four to
seven News National correspondent Rory on kneelback to the program
on a couple of fronts. To begin with Rory, and
good morning. Where are we in your view from your
reporting on the talks in Saudi Arabia on a potential
ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Yeah, Donald Trump's envoy Steve Whitkoff, who was really involved
in trying to negotiate a peace deal between the Israelis
and Hamas, is now in Moscow trying to settle this
thirty day ceasefire agreement. And it looks like although Ukraine
is willing to come to the table and sign on
to this, it's going to be a tall task to
(00:41):
get Russia to sign on. They've got issues about peacekeeping
forces that may be on the ground in Ukraine. Of course,
they want to make sure Ukraine does not joined NATO.
And there are the financial aspects as well. Do you
lift tariffs rather sanctions? Do you lift some of the
frozen apps that countries are holding all around the world.
(01:02):
It seems that Russia wants to demand quite a bit
before they'll agree to pause the fighting for thirty days.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah, And what you don't know is if he is
like most people in the West, would toss out those
requirements as a first bid in a negotiation, or if
that's his hard line, no peacekeepers, no NATO, no sanctions.
Well we know that NATO's pretty much off the table.
(01:30):
I wonder though about the peacekeepers.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Well, right, especially on some thirty day deal, right, I mean,
this is not the big peace plan. This is just
for a month to stop the fighting, to see if
we can start longer conversations about how we end this conflict.
And of course what about the territories. Russia is occupying
about twenty percent of Ukraine right now. That's a huge number.
(01:55):
And does Ukraine just walk away from twenty percent of
its country? Comparison saying that would be like the US
walking away from Florida, Alabama, and Georgia. Some may root
for that, but that's a whole different salute. But I
mean that size or percentage wise a territory is an
incredible sacrifice for Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah, that's going to be tough, for sure. Those talks
are ongoing though, right they are.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
So we've just got Steve Witkoff just on the ground
a few hours ago there in Moscow. I think President
Putin is meeting with the President of Belarus today. This
is going to be a marathon, though. Russia. Ukraine came
to the table relatively early on this thirty day deal,
after really having that lousy Oval Office meeting and weeks
to go tomorrow. So Ukraine was quick to sign on.
(02:45):
Russia says, there's no rush, you know, let's not put
the cart ahead of the horse.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Five years ago this week, Rory, when something happened to
all of us that had never happened before in our lifetimes.
Everything basically shut down because of COVID. How has America
changed most?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
In your view, COVID seems to have accelerated a lot
of cultural changes in the US that were already underway.
For instance, for what more than twenty thirty years now,
Americans have been spending more time at home, and when
you look at hours of the day and now after
going through COVID, more of us work from home permanently,
(03:25):
more of us just do our shopping from home. More
of us have the food delivered by the restaurant. We
don't go to the movies, we just scream it. Yeah,
Some of this is the technology is now available, but
this is also cultural in how we live and now
we want to have bigger houses and bigger apartments because
we're in them forty more hours a week when we
work from home and those And then what about the
(03:47):
office tower downtown if it's now sixty percent empty? What
do we do with that? And how do you plan
a downtown center if no one is shopping there because
they're getting their stuff online.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Well, b companies need to have people come back to
the office, not only not only for their company, but
for the survival of these downtowns and the surrounding businesses.
Restaurants and bars, for example, a lot of them shut
down because there weren't anybody working downtown anymore.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
You know, here's one for you. What about the dry cleaner, Yeah, yeah,
time to dry cleaner, I mean, because it's COVID has
also made it much more casual. Right people are out
in sweat, parents and cross rather than actually getting dressed again,
something that was happening all way, I mean clearly, but
(04:35):
really accelerated during COVID.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
One of the things that's interesting about it most most
of the of the moments in life where people can
remember where they were and what they were doing. Were
singular events like nine to eleven for example, or the
Challenger shuttle blowing up, or or Pearl Harbor for older generations.
This this is one of those things that was an ongoing,
(04:57):
uh event or problem. But you can remember. You can
remember like the last normal thing you were doing, you know,
before everybody said okay, I guess I gotta you know,
it was just weird. I remember we were out for
a family birthday dinner on March the fifth, and they
gave you the bums, rush out, no, no, but you
(05:18):
just start every everybody started looking at their news feed
and said, oh my god, this this looks like it
could be a big This looks like it could be
a big deal. And the next thing you know, basketball
games were stopped in and then you know.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
You cancel the NBA season everything. I was always skeptical
from the beginning, as you remember on the air, but
I thought, well, wait a minute, hold on, why don't
we find out of it before we do all this.
There was such a knee jerk reaction to the stuff
that was hold on now, you know, to be careful
(05:50):
that they weren't. They just shut everything down and then
shoveled money.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
