00:00
So we think we're going to do well with Russia, Ukraine.
00:02
5,000 soldiers are being killed every single week on average.
00:06
5,000.
00:08
And they're not from here.
00:10
And they're not from the USA.
00:11
They're from Ukraine and Russia.
00:14
So some people would say, why are you bothering?
00:16
Because these are 5,000 young people.
00:19
Well, they're getting older because they've gone through so many that they are actually
00:22
getting older.
00:23
But these are 5,000 people that leave their home, wave goodbye to their parents.
00:27
Their parents are so proud of them.
00:29
They're sisters, they're brothers.
00:30
And that's the last they ever see them.
00:32
They're wiped out.
00:34
And if you would see the satellite pictures, I get satellite pictures of that battlefield.
00:38
And I want to tell you, I've never seen anything like that.
00:42
I wish I never saw it.
00:44
You have heads and arms and legs strewn all over the field.
00:49
And you just take a look at that.
00:51
And, you know, when you think 5,000 a week on average, and that's actually a low number.
00:56
So we're going to see if we can end that.
00:59
I was thinking about going.
01:01
But it's very tough because of what we're doing today and tomorrow.
01:05
But, you know, if something happened, I'd go on Friday if it was appropriate.
01:10
But we have people right now negotiating.
01:14
And I think that I just hope that Russia and Ukraine are able to do something because it has to stop.
01:24
Not only the money.
01:25
We spent $350 billion there.
01:28
Just hand it.
01:29
Nobody even knows where the money is.
01:30
Just send him a check.
01:32
There's no accounting.
01:33
There's no one.
01:34
Just give him money.
01:35
Every time he came, I have to hand it to him.
01:38
I think he's the greatest salesman maybe in history.
01:41
Every time he came to the United States, he'd walk away with $100 billion.
01:44
Yeah.
01:45
That's a good salesman, right?
01:47
Even by your standards.
01:48
This is a big standard right here.
01:50
But that's a pretty good set.
01:52
No, he'd walk in.
01:54
Leave with $100 billion.
01:55
Last time he didn't do as well.
01:57
He only got $60 billion.
01:58
And it was so easy.
02:01
It was like taking candy from a baby.
02:03
That was the last administration.
02:04
This administration has been a little bit tougher.
02:07
But we'd like to see it end.
02:09
And I think we're going to have a chance of doing it.
02:11
And we'd like to see if we could solve the Iran problem in an intelligent way as opposed to a brutal way.
02:18
There's only two.
02:18
Intelligent and brutal.
02:20
Those are the two alternatives.
02:22
So I want to thank everybody for being here very much.
02:24
And we're going to take some questions and perhaps now we'll ask the press to leave.
02:28
And we're going to see you at the air.
