00:00And I want to ask you a very simple question tonight.

00:02Do you want Ukraine to win this war?

00:05I want the war to stop.

00:06I want to save lives that are being uselessly people being killed by the millions.

00:12It's the millions.

00:13It's so much worse than the numbers that you're getting, which are fake numbers.

00:18Look, we're in for 250 billion or more because they don't ask Europe, which is a much bigger

00:25beneficiary to getting this thing done than we are.

00:28With that being said, I want to get the war settled.

00:31I know Zelensky very well, and I know Putin very well.

00:34I have a good relationship, and they respect your president, OK?

00:38They respect me.

00:39They don't respect Biden.

00:40How would you respect him?

00:42Why?

00:43For what reason?

00:44He hasn't even made a phone call in two years to Putin, hasn't spoken to anybody.

00:48They don't even try and get it.

00:49That is a war that's dying to be settled.

00:52I will get it settled before I even become president.

00:54If I win, when I'm president elect, and what I'll do is I'll speak to one, I'll speak to

01:00the other.

01:01I'll get them together.

01:02That war would have never happened.

01:04And in fact, when I saw Putin after I left, unfortunately left because our country has

01:10gone to hell.

01:11But after I left, when I saw him building up soldiers, he did it after I left.

01:15I said, oh, he must be negotiating.

01:18It must be a good, strong point of negotiation.

01:21Well, it wasn't because Biden had no idea how to talk to him.

01:25He had no idea how to stop it.

01:27And now you have millions of people dead and it's only getting worse.

01:30And it could lead to World War Three.

01:32Just to clarify the question, do you believe it's in the U.S. best interest for Ukraine

01:37to win this war?

01:38Yes or no?

01:39I think it's the U.S. best interest to get this war finished and just get it done.

01:43Negotiate a deal because we have to stop all of these human lives from being destroyed.
