00:00in the White House. So, I mean, you know, so it worked out.

00:03I mean, sir, I'm a very serious question here.

00:07Russia today hit Kiev with missiles and drones, more than 100 people, kids.

00:12I think it's this Russia. I think it's disgusting what they're doing.

00:15I think it's disgusting. This is Biden's war. It's not my war.

00:19But I said, if I get in, I'll try and get the thing stopped.

00:21But I think what Russia is doing is very sad.

00:25A lot of Russians are dying. You have a lot of Russians, more Russians are dying.

00:30But Russians are dying. Ukrainians are dying.

00:33You know, the United States isn't really involved in that war. It shouldn't be.

00:36And by the way, I made a deal with NATO where NATO pays us for everything that we send.

00:40We send them ammunition, missiles, etc.

00:45And we're not paying anything for that war. But I will tell you this.

00:49It should be stopped. It's a disgrace.

00:51And the ones that are dying are so they're losing 7000 now. It's 5,000.

00:55They're losing now 7,000 soldiers a week. Ukrainian soldiers and Russian soldiers.

01:01And they're also losing people now in the towns and cities because Putin's hitting them with rockets.

01:05No, I think it's disgraceful.

01:07You have a 10-day deadline. You imposed a 10-day deadline.

01:10Yeah, we have about 8 days.

01:11Does he care about it?

01:11Yeah, we're going to put sanctions. I don't know that sanctions bother him.

01:15You know, they know about sanctions.

01:17I know better than anybody about sanctions and tariffs and everything else.

01:21I don't know if that has any effect.

01:22But we're going to do it.

01:23Europe is extremely upset.

01:26But this is a war that should have never happened.

01:28This is a war that wouldn't have happened if I were president.

01:31And this is Biden's war.

01:32This was a stupid war to get into.

01:35Should have never gotten into this war.

01:42Yeah, going to Israel.

01:43And then he's going to Russia, believe it or not.
