00:00I mean, just looking at, you know, the way things have gone these last few months and President Trump's diplomatic overtures to Moscow doesn't seem like Moscow has been at all receptive to any of them.
00:15Do you think President Trump's been wasting his time?
00:17I felt all along that Putin was not interested in peace.
00:21He wants to subjugate Ukraine.
00:24And since Ukraine will not surrender, he wants to continue the war.
00:27President Trump gave Putin the benefit of the doubt.
00:32Already, you know, President Trump entered office in late January.
00:36Already by April, even supporters of his, the editorial board, excuse me, editorial writers at the New York Post or the Wall Street Journal were pointing out that Putin was playing Trump.
00:48And they were right.
00:49But it took President Trump a little bit more time to see that.
00:52But he has seen it.
00:53And I think what he did yesterday was very strong, very good.
