00:00
They're so, they're just so wrong.
00:03
Yeah, please.
00:03
Yeah, thank you, Mr. President.
00:04
You repeatedly mentioned last night that Russia's attack on Ukraine was a mistake.
00:10
What is the exact mistake?
00:12
Had you given Putin a deadline to actually move toward a ceasefire?
00:16
The mistake was letting the war happen.
00:18
If Biden were competent, and if Zelensky were competent,
00:22
and I don't know that he is, we had a rough session with this guy over here.
00:26
He just kept asking for more and more.
00:28
That war should have never been allowed to happen.
00:31
That war, I went four years and Putin wouldn't even bring it up.
00:35
And as soon as the election was rigged and I wasn't here, that war started.
00:40
There was no way that war should have been allowed to happen.
00:43
And Biden should have stopped it.
00:45
And you take a look at Putin, I'm not saying anybody's an angel.
00:51
But I will tell you, I went four years and it wasn't even a question.
00:55
He would never, and I told him, don't do it.
00:57
You're not going to do it.
00:58
And it was the apple of his eye, but there was no way that he would have done it.
01:02
All you had to do was lower oil prices.
01:04
If you lowered oil prices, Biden kept the prices so high because he made it impossible to get it.
01:11
If you lowered oil prices, you would have never had the war.
01:13
But you wouldn't have had it with me anyway.
01:15
That war would have never happened.
01:16
And I think it's a great abuse.
01:18
So now what do you do?
01:19
You get a country where 25% of its land is gone and the best locations, where millions of people are killed.
01:27
You know, you haven't reported accurately the debt.
01:32
And this was Biden's war, and I'm trying to stop it.
01:35
And I think we're going to do a good job.
01:37
I hope we're going to do it.
01:38
They lose 2,500 young people a week, on average.
01:44
Now, they're Russians and they're Ukrainians, but it's 2,000.
01:48
We don't care.
01:48
It's like whatever it is.
01:50
They're not from your country.
01:52
They're not from mine.
01:52
But I want to stop it.
01:54
2,500, it's a killing field.
01:56
It's like the Civil War.
01:58
You take a look.
01:59
I look at the satellite pictures.
02:01
This should not be happening in our time.
02:05
Of course, our time can be pretty violent, as we know.
02:08
But that's a war that should have never been allowed to start.
02:11
And Biden could have stopped it.
02:14
And Zelensky could have stopped it.
02:17
And Putin should have never started it.
02:20
Everybody's to blame.
