00:00Blue in the blue, please. Light blue.
00:01Thank you. Thank you, Mr. President.
00:03How close are you to step back
00:05on between Ukraine and Russia?
00:08We see a very bad escalation.
00:10Are you going to leave it in the hands of the Europeans?
00:12I'm very close to the situation.
00:14I'm very disappointed in Russia,
00:16but I'm disappointed
00:18in Ukraine also, because I think
00:20deals could have been made.
00:22And, you know, we're losing 5,000,
00:236,000 people a week,
00:26soldiers mostly, but also
00:27people living in towns because they're getting hit
00:29by missiles again. How would you like
00:31to live in a building and you think a missile has a good
00:33chance of hitting your building during the evening?
00:36It's horrible. It must be
00:37horrible to live like that.
00:39But, I mean, we'll
00:41get it, but it's
00:43I'm disappointed that it's not
00:45done. We did
00:47great with India and Pakistan.
00:50We did very good with
00:51Israel. I thought, look, October 7th
00:53was a disaster. People forget.
00:56You know, they like to forget.
00:57That was a horrible thing.
00:59But, you know, none of these things would have happened
01:01if I were president.
01:02If I were president, none of it would have happened.
01:04You wouldn't have the Israel problem.
01:07Iran was broke. They had no money.
01:08We had big sanctions on them.
01:10Biden immediately let them get rich.
01:11The $300 billion they have right now.
01:14But they had no money for Hamas or Hezbollah.
01:17They had no money for anything.
01:18It was perfect.
01:20We wouldn't have had inflation.
01:21That was caused by oil, Chris.
01:23The oil price went through the roof.
01:25It was also caused by their spending.
01:26But it was caused more by oil than anything else.
01:28The oil went so high.
01:30Got close to $100 a barrel.
01:33And that caused.
01:34And that also kept the war going with Putin.
01:36Because at $100 a barrel,
01:39that was a big money-making experience.
01:42But now it's down to where
01:43it's not so good for them anymore.
01:46No, it's very important to get that solved.
01:48That's a bloodbath.
01:49That's a terrible bloodbath that's going on.
01:51Yeah, please, go ahead.
01:52Mr. President.
01:53Go ahead.
