00:00I don't know that he's going to the funeral or not, but I just hope he gets this thing solved

00:06because we're losing about, think of this, 5,000. I was saying 2,500 and everyone was telling me

00:12that's low. 5,000 soldiers are being killed every week approximately. Think of that. Every week,

00:195,000 soldiers, but let's say from 3,000 to 5,000 are being killed. They're Russian and Ukrainian.

00:26They're not Americans, but they're Russian, but they're people and they're humans. They're

00:30human beings. They have families. They wave goodbye to their son and then they get a call

00:35that the son's no longer there. It's a vicious war. And if I can help solve it, you know,

00:40we're not losing our soldiers, but we're losing soldiers, a lot of people. And if I can solve

00:45it because of a certain ability, that would be great. And if, if it doesn't happen, I will say

00:50that I think Russia is ready. And a lot of people said Russia wanted to go for the whole thing.

00:56And they've, I think we have a deal with Russia. We have to get a deal with Zelenskyy. And I hope

01:03that Zelenskyy, I thought it might be easier to deal with Zelenskyy so far. It's been harder,

01:08but that's okay.
