00:00Mr. President, could this transaction with NATO be viewed as a step towards achieving peace,
00:11letting Putin know that now Zelensky has a little bit more powerful tools in his tool chest,
00:16and maybe that brings him to the table to achieve peace?
00:19Because I know that you wanted to do that.
00:21Brian, that's what we've been saying.
00:22I think you might have expressed it better if you wanted to.
00:25That's exactly what it was.
00:26That was a summary.
00:27That was a nice summary.
00:28I think he's done better than us.
00:30He's a very good guy, I can tell you that.
00:33But, no, it's well said.
00:36Yeah, I think this is a chance of getting peace.
00:41Or it's just going to be the same thing.
00:43I have to tell you, Europe has a lot of spirit for this war.
00:47A lot of people, you know, when I first got involved, I really didn't think they did, but they do.
00:53And I saw that a month ago when you were there, most of you, many of you were there.
00:57The level of esprit de corps, spirit that they have is amazing.
01:03They really think it's a very, very important thing to do, or they wouldn't be doing.
01:09Look, they're agreeing to just, you know, they're paying for everything.
01:12We're not paying anymore.
01:13We were, we have an ocean separating us.
01:16I said, we have a problem, we make the best stuff, but we can't keep doing this.
01:21And Biden should have done this years ago.
01:23He should have done it from the beginning, but he didn't.
01:25He didn't know he was there.
01:27This guy, what a, what, what a horrible job they did for this country.
01:32And I just hope between the border and this and so many other, inflation, what a horrible administration.
01:38The worst administration in history, in my opinion, that's not my opinion.
01:42I think it's everybody's opinion.
01:44But this is something that shouldn't have happened.
01:47And we're going to see if we can end it.
01:49I do want to make one statement.
01:51Again, I said it before.
01:53This is not Trump's war.
01:55We're here to try and get it finished and settled and whatever.
02:00Because nobody wins with this.
02:01And this is a loser from every standpoint.
02:04This was Biden and this was other people.
02:09And it's a very sad situation.
02:12This gentleman is doing a great job.
02:14He's going to, I think he's going to get it.
02:16And Matt and everybody else that's working on it.
02:18I think you'll get this thing over with hope.
02:20Mr. President, Mr. President.
