00:00The Norwegian Nobel Committee will make their announcement as it relates to this year's Nobel Peace Prize on October the 10th, Friday, October the 10th.
00:10Is that date circled on your calendar, Mr. President?
00:13I can't say. I mean, a lot of people say, no matter what I did, because, you know, I'm of a certain persuasion.
00:20No matter what I do, they won't give it. And I'm not politicking for it.
00:25I have a lot of people that are. I know. I mean, I read the same things as you do.
00:30But it would be a great honor, certainly. But I would never politic. I'm not doing it for that.
00:37I'm doing it because of I really. Number one, I want to save lives.
00:41That's why I'm involved so much with Ukraine and Russia. It's saving lives of Russians and Ukrainians.
00:47It's not American lives. Now, I would say this. That war could have escalated in something much better.
00:52That could have been a world war. I think if we didn't come, Ukraine, Russia would have ended up being a world war.
01:00And I stopped that. That stopped. Now, the only question is, when is it going to be settled?
01:06And it could be very soon. But when is it going to be? But that would have been a world war.
01:10If I didn't come along with a very talented group of people sitting largely right here,
01:15but there are others not in the room that are very talented,
01:18I think Russia, Ukraine would have had a very, very high degree,
01:23I think even probably would have ended up being in a world war.
01:26I don't think people talk about that now because they don't see it anymore.
01:31But we brought it down a long way. But that was getting to a point.
01:36When I first came in, I said, wow, this thing is really bad.
01:39And it could have gone. It could have escalated to a level that you people would have been very unhappy.
01:48listen to me.
01:48So I probably wouldn't.
01:49If I didn't.
01:49I didn't
