And I want to ask you a very simple question tonight.
00:02
Do you want Ukraine to win this war?
00:05
I want the war to stop.
00:06
I want to save lives that are being uselessly people being killed by the millions.
00:12
It's the millions.
00:13
It's so much worse than the numbers that you're getting, which are fake numbers.
00:18
Look, we're in for 250 billion or more because they don't ask Europe, which is a much bigger
00:25
beneficiary to getting this thing done than we are.
00:28
With that being said, I want to get the war settled.
00:31
I know Zelensky very well, and I know Putin very well.
00:34
I have a good relationship, and they respect your president, OK?
00:38
They respect me.
00:39
They don't respect Biden.
00:40
How would you respect him?
00:42
Why?
00:43
For what reason?
00:44
He hasn't even made a phone call in two years to Putin, hasn't spoken to anybody.
00:48
They don't even try and get it.
00:49
That is a war that's dying to be settled.
00:52
I will get it settled before I even become president.
00:54
If I win, when I'm president elect, and what I'll do is I'll speak to one, I'll speak to
01:00
the other.
01:01
I'll get them together.
01:02
That war would have never happened.
01:04
And in fact, when I saw Putin after I left, unfortunately left because our country has
01:10
gone to hell.
01:11
But after I left, when I saw him building up soldiers, he did it after I left.
01:15
I said, oh, he must be negotiating.
01:18
It must be a good, strong point of negotiation.
01:21
Well, it wasn't because Biden had no idea how to talk to him.
01:25
He had no idea how to stop it.
01:27
And now you have millions of people dead and it's only getting worse.
01:30
And it could lead to World War Three.
01:32
Just to clarify the question, do you believe it's in the U.S. best interest for Ukraine
01:37
to win this war?
01:38
Yes or no?
01:39
I think it's the U.S. best interest to get this war finished and just get it done.
01:43
Negotiate a deal because we have to stop all of these human lives from being destroyed.
