00:00We have some weaknesses with Russia, you know, it takes two.
00:06Look, it was not going to happen, that war, and it happened.
00:10So now we're stuck with this mess.
00:12It was like taking candy from a baby, what he did.
00:15He's a smart guy.
00:17And he's a tough guy.
00:19And he took money out of this country under Biden, like candy from a baby.
00:28It was so easy.
00:29But are you expecting a recession this year?
00:35I hate to predict things like that.
00:37There is a period of transition, because what we're doing is very big.
00:42We're bringing wealth back to America.
00:45That's a big thing.
00:47And there are always periods of, it takes a little time, it takes a little time.
00:54Now we've got tariffs and the market has been going down.
00:58So not much, I mean, in all fairness.
01:00You said, look, we're going to have a disruption, but we're okay with that.
01:04Is that what you meant?
01:05The stock market going down was the disruption?
01:07What other disruption were you alluding to?
01:09Look, what I have to do is build a strong country.
01:12You can't really watch the stock market.
01:15If you look at China, they have a hundred year perspective.
01:18I'm not sure that everybody agrees with me, but we can make a deal that would be just
01:22as good as if you won militarily.
01:27But the time is happening now.
01:28The time is coming up.
01:30Something's going to happen one way or the other.
01:32I hope that Iran, and I've written them a letter saying, I hope you're going to negotiate,
01:38because if we have to go in militarily, it's going to be a terrible thing for them.
01:43You wrote a letter to the Khomeini.
01:46When did you send the letter?
01:48Yesterday.
01:49And you said you better negotiate or we want you to negotiate?
01:51No, I didn't say you better.
01:52I said, I hope you're going to negotiate because it's going to be a lot better for Iran.
01:57And I think they want to get that letter.
02:01The other alternative is we have to do something because you can't let them have a nuclear
02:04weapon.
02:05I call it a smackdown of Zelensky.
02:09It looked really rough.
02:11But then again, at the end of the day, you may have your deal back.
02:14So was that all the art of the deal?
02:16What specifically ticked you off?
02:19You know, he was able to, it was like taking candy from a baby, what he did.
02:26He's a smart guy and he's a tough guy.
02:30And he took money out of this country under Biden like candy from a baby.
02:39It was so easy.
02:41Are you comfortable with that?
02:43The fact that you walked away and Ukraine may not survive?
02:47Well, it may not survive anyway, but, you know, we have some weaknesses with Russia.
02:54You know, it takes two.
02:56Look, it was not going to happen, that war.
02:59And it happened.
03:00So now we're stuck with this mess.
