00:00But if Russia is not willing to do that, then we're eventually just going to have to say,

00:03this is not our war. It's Joe Biden's war. It's Vladimir Putin's war. It's not our war.

00:08We're going to try to end it. But if we can't end it, we're eventually going to say,

00:11you know what, that was worth a try, but we're not doing it anymore.

00:16Speaking of Joe Biden, sir, do you have any thoughts on his diagnosis?

00:21Yeah, look, I mean, first of all, of course, we wish the best for the former president's health.

00:25And, you know, it sounds pretty serious, but hopefully he makes the right recovery.

00:31I will say, whether the right time to have this conversation is now or at some point in the future,

00:37we really do need to be honest about whether the former president was capable of doing the job.

00:43And that's no, you know, that you can separate the desire for him to have the right health outcome

00:49with a recognition that whether it was doctors or whether there were staffers around the former

00:54president, I don't think he was able to do a good job for the American people.

00:59And that's not politics. That's not because I disagreed with him on policy. That's because

01:02I don't think that he was in good enough health. In some ways, I blame him less than I blame the

01:07people around him. And why did the American people have a better sense of his health picture?

01:11Why didn't the American people have more accurate information about what he was actually dealing

01:15with? This is serious stuff. And this is a guy who carries around the nuclear football for the

01:20world's largest nuclear arsenal. This is not child's play. And we can pray for good health,

01:25but also recognize that if you're not in good enough health to do the job, you shouldn't be

01:30doing the job. Okay. Thank you guys. Have a safe trip. See ya. You too.
