On balance, the Ukrainians are in a stronger position, but that does not mean that now than they were 3 months Zelensky. So, I mean, I think that there's there's like the easy way, which is Trump Putin actually accepts uh
I mean, just awful political moments. Zelensky was obviously deeply irritated by the interpretation of the war that he was hearing from Washington.
And one of the daughters, the five daughters of And men inherit. --Zelophehad, they say, no way. They go to Moses, and they say, talk to God.
Perhaps it's unfair to the developers at Nintendo, but I doubt they were thinking about Descartes when they made "The Legend of. Zelda Spirit Tracks." Nevertheless, this game in which the long suffering Princess Zelda's nonphysical spirit is separated from her physical body supports a theory of the philosophy of mind known as Cartesian dualism, which states that the mind and body are made of different kinds of substances,
So there is also, I think one of my favorite numbers is what you do with Cole Gray and Zell-- Zell, is that how I say his name? Zell. Zell, yeah. Zell Morrow. So you have two brothers in the show.
But as I say, it must be bewildering to have landed in a place where people were seriously talking about Ukraine starting the war and Zelensky not Putin being the dictator. I did the front page of the "New York Post" the day after the president's comments on that saying that.
Now, some history of peace talks. Volodymyr Zelenskyy won the presidency in 2019, and he discusses, in this conversation, the ceasefire agreements he made with Vladimir Putin in 2019, which was one of many attempts at peace, from the two Minsk agreements in 2014 and 15, to a series of ceasefire agreements in 2018, 19, and 20,
The Ukrainians were ready to sign a deal, but we're obviously under intense pressure. And I think certainly Zelensky actually wasn't expecting to go until pretty much the day before,
Here's somebody who has the skill of, you know, for his country, for his situation, being able to somehow be friends with Putin, and friends with Zelensky, and friends with Trump, and friends with Biden, and friends with Obama. - It was very skillful.
And I hope to be back in Kyiv as well. As President Zelenskyy said, this was our first of many more meetings. In all these cases, I seek to do my small part in pushing for peace.
It is always worth trying, over and over again, to find the path to peace. I believe that Presidents Zelenskyy, Putin, and Trump should meet soon after January 20th this year, and give everything they got to negotiate a ceasefire and security guarantees that pave the way for a long-lasting peace.
this all into context and understand how gas prices affect this November election and 2028 by talking to economist and historian Julian Zelizer. We're going to do that back in New York, though. Let's do it. Support for this show comes from Mint Mobile. Some of the best things happen during the summer, and Mint Mobile's summer sale is one of them. Right now,
lot more kind of scary for people here to just hear those missiles coming in one after another without anything trying to stop them. And and uh President Zelenskyy, of course, is desperate for those interceptor missiles. Um is there any hope that that will change?
And then at the end of the book, at the end of the Book of Numbers, it ends with the story recapturing the daughters of Zelophehad. And who are these?
She had a couple. We created this Zell Fellows-- Sam Zell-- we created a program at Kellogg, and we take high potential entrepreneurs and we put them in this boot camp program called Zell Scholars.
So often, you find trees like this. This is a zelkova tree in Hyde Park, which is actually a kind of elm-- not the ones that died off in Britain, but a different Caucasian elm.
My thing is, if it was Ground Hog's Day, that level of enthusiasm would have been fine. TIFFANY T'ZELLE: But? This is Black History Month. TIFFANY T'ZELLE: That's right.
TIFFANY T'ZELLE: But? This is Black History Month. TIFFANY T'ZELLE: That's right. So the sign is-- you're right.
The sign is right there. TIFFANY T'ZELLE: It says it all over the place. So I got to be real.
I wasn't feeling that. TIFFANY T'ZELLE: Me neither. The energy was 63.
The energy was 63. TIFFANY T'ZELLE: Not even. 44. TIFFANY T'ZELLE: Something like that.
But this is Black History Month. TIFFANY T'ZELLE: That's right. So the sign is-- you're right.
I wasn't feeling that. TIFFANY T'ZELLE: Me either. The energy was 63.
The energy was 63. TIFFANY T'ZELLE: Not even. It was 44, about 44.
Cory Doctorow: Presenter: Yeah. And then Zelig-like, I noticed as he rose as an author. I actually don't want to spend much time introducing him.
There's no social transformation in the absence of personal transformation. That's what the Zell, Zelling -- presenter: Zeilinger Dr. Deepak Chopra: Zeilinger experiment is about right now.
I told my mom, "I can't sleep. The music's stuck in my head." She said, "All right. Well you're not playing anymore." Crap. Luckily, she let me finally start playing it again. And I realized why Zelda really appealed to me. And it was this concept of this kid had to go save the world with just this huge, terrifying, overwhelming idea to him. But he didn't worry about it. What did he do? Link started with level one. He beat level one, got a little bit stronger, got a new weapon, moved on to level two. Did he have
- Yes, first time was in, I was with the Ukrainian armed forces when they retook Kherson, and I was back in recent weeks, and was there when the Trump-Zelensky blowup happened. In fact I was in a Ukrainian dugout at the front lines when I was watching it.
and people in the administration implying that Ukraine has started the war. And I think that must be for Zelensky a pretty "Alice in Wonderland" situation to be in. And I had significant sympathy for him in finding it bewildering because it would be bewildering.
for journalists to ask, and it's a little bit off what needs to be gone over. And it's the same thing with Zelensky with the outfit. I think it was just petty and threw things off in a bad way.
- When do you think there will be presidential elections in Ukraine? The following is a conversation with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the President of Ukraine. It was an intense, raw, and heartfelt conversation, my goal for which was to understand and to do all I can to push for peace.
the Ukrainian president Volodymyr uh Zelensky, he's um said that um North
campaign which I know President Zelensky also announced a 40-day extension of the campaign just I want to say about
and we put them in this boot camp program called Zell Scholars. And we make all of the Zell Scholars take this. And all of them have some of these tendencies because we're human.
So the calculations by Michael Zeller, our cartographer and geographer, indicate
with music from "The Legend of Zelda" or "Final Fantasy." And that's where I first saw it happening, was with video games.
And the example that you bring is Zelda.
I grew up with Mario and Zelda and Kirby.
the tram and the uh Zelma wi Steve wi's mom came and took the the book from me and said this is great this is genius
That's a game that I grew up playing, fell in love with. I will play each one of them until the day I die. I'm talking about "The Legend of Zelda." And the reason I fell in love with The Legend of Zelda is because at the beginning of every game you're always this scrawny, a little kid with a wooden sword and a wooden shield and you're told you need to go save the world.
And so let me just do a little more Zelda or whatever it is, whatever they're doing scrolling on TikTok usually.
- Well, three years of war will tire out anyone. - What did you think of the blowup between Zelensky and Trump as you're sitting there in the dugout? - Well, it is, huh, it was a very disturbing place to watch it from, perhaps anywhere would've been.
- I don't think by any account it was a successful step forward, unless to some extent it was play from DC to say to Putin, "Look, we duffed off Zelensky, and, you know, now give us something." That's the only remedial idea I have about what might have been behind it.
that he was hearing from Washington. It was only a week after the Trump comments about Zelensky being a dictator and people in the administration implying that Ukraine has started the war.
There was a dickhead of a reporter that asked the question about outfit in a way that. Listen, Zelensky, everybody has their strengths and weaknesses. He's an emotional being, for better or for worse.
doesn't depend on my tolerance for memes online today." - Yeah, so I think the memes can be broken through in meetings like the one that happened between Zelensky and Trump. There could've been real comradery.
And when I was a young lad it was just like Zelda, except for it also had a level editor and it had a C-like language,
That's shopify.com/americaactually. shopify.com/americaactually. Dr. Julian Zelizer, thank you for joining us. We appreciate your time. How are you? It's a pleasure to be with you. I'm doing well.
President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has posted a message saying this morning, "Russians brutally struck a busy intersection." He said, "We will
I think people are very skeptical about any kind of promises coming out of the US right now. We had that grand promise from uh President Trump uh on the stage with Zelenskyy back then, which, you know, as we now know, hadn't been discussed with the manufacturers. Now lots of technicalities are sensed that maybe those American companies don't want to contradict Donald Trump in public, but are busy dragging their feet
