00:00Will Russia face any consequences if Vladimir Putin does not agree to stop the war after your meeting on Friday?
00:08Yes, they will.
00:09There will be consequences.
00:11Sanctions, tariffs?
00:12There will be. I don't have to say. There will be very severe consequences. Yes.
00:15Do you believe you can convince him to stop targeting civilians in Ukraine?
00:22Well, I'll tell you what. I've had that conversation with him.
00:26I've had a lot of good conversations with him.
00:28And then I go home and I see that a rocket hit a nursing home or a rocket hit an apartment building and people are laying dead in the street.
00:34So I guess the answer to that is no, because I've had this conversation.
00:39I want to end the war. It's Biden's war, but I want to end it.
00:43I'll be very proud to end this war, along with the five other wars I ended.
00:47But I guess the answer to that is probably no, because I would have had a good conversation with Vladimir.
00:53I knew him very well. I got along with him. Great. Actually, we had the Russia.
00:56I had to go through the Russia, Russia hoax. And it was actually it's it was a strain on the relationship.
01:02I actually would told him I said, you know, they got this phony investigation going on.
01:07Russia, Russia, Russia. Totally phony created by Adam Schiff, Shifty Schiff and Hillary Clinton and the whole group of them.
01:16And it made it very dangerous for our country because I was unable to really deal with Russia the way we should have been.
01:21I'm looking at Pam because I hope something's going to be done about it.
01:24These people put our country at great danger. And Adam Schiff was all made up.
01:30It was a hoax. The Mueller report came out. They all hated me.
01:33They had 18 Trump haters and they said I did nothing wrong.
01:37They were they could they couldn't believe they couldn't find anything after.
01:41We had a very good call. He was on the call.
01:43President Zelensky was on the call. I would rate it a 10, you know, very, very friendly.
01:49I know the leaders because I was at NATO, as you know, I took it from 2 percent to 5 percent, 2 percent that wasn't paid, 5 percent that is paid, which is trillions of dollars in defense capability.
02:04No, it was always going to be I was going to meet with President Putin.
02:07And then after that, I'm going to call the leaders and President Zelensky.
02:13I'm going to call President Zelensky and then I'll call probably in that order the leaders.
02:16There's a very good chance that we're going to have a second meeting, which will be more productive than the first, because the first is I'm going to find out where we are and what we're doing.
02:26Again, this is Biden's war. This isn't my war. He got us into this thing.
02:30There's a new reporting that the Russians have hacked into some computer systems that manage U.S. federal court documents.
02:37I wonder if you've seen this reporting and if you plan to bring it up with Putin when you see him later in the week.
02:41I guess I could. Are you surprised? You know, if you're surprised, they hack in. That's what they do.
02:46They're good at it. We're good at it. We're actually better at it. But no, I have heard about it. I've heard about it.
02:55Mr. President, how were your calls this morning with European leaders?
02:59And was it your call not to invite President Zelensky to your meeting with Putin?
03:04No, just the opposite. No, no. We had a very good call. He was on the call.
03:08President Zelensky was on the call. I would rate it a 10, you know, very, very friendly.
03:15I know the leaders because I was at NATO, as you know. I took it from 2 percent to 5 percent.
03:202 percent that wasn't paid, 5 percent that is paid, which is trillions of dollars in defense capability.
03:27No, it was always going to be I was going to meet with President Putin.
03:32And then after that, I'm going to call the leaders and President Zelensky.
03:37I'm going to call President Zelensky and then I'll call probably in that order the leaders.
03:42There's a very good chance that we're going to have a second meeting, which will be more productive than the first,
03:46because the first is I'm going to find out where we are and what we're doing.
03:50And again, this is Biden's war. This isn't my war. He got us into this thing and should have never happened.
03:56This war would have never happened if I were president.
03:59But it is what it is. And I'm here to fix it.
04:01And I'm here to stop 6,000, 7,000 people last week.
04:057,213 people last week were killed, mostly soldiers.
04:10But missiles being lobbed into towns don't exactly help either, but mostly soldiers and Ukrainian and Russian.
04:17And they're not American soldiers. But, you know, if we can save a lot of lives, it would be a great thing.
04:22I've done I've done five. I've stopped five wars in the last six months.
04:27And on top of that, we wiped out the nuclear capability of Iran, obliterated it.
04:33It's turned out to be a correct word, by the way, because, you know, some of the press said, well, maybe it wasn't obliteration.
04:38It was obliteration. And we're going to meet with I would say the second meeting.
04:45If the first one goes OK, we'll have a quick second one.
04:50I would like to do it almost immediately.
04:53And we'll have a quick second meeting between President Putin and President Zelensky and myself, if they'd like to have me there.
05:01And that would be a meeting where maybe it could be absolutely work.
05:04But the first meeting will not work that out.
05:06Certain great things can be gained in the first.
05:09It's going to be a very important meeting.
05:10But it's setting the table for the second meeting.
05:14I think the second meeting, if the second meeting takes place.
05:17Now, there may be no second meeting, because if I feel that it's not appropriate to have it because I didn't get the answers that we have to have, then we're not going to have a second meeting.
