00:00Last week you warned of what you called severe consequences.

00:04If a 30-day ceasefire or any type of ceasefire were not agreed to by Russia,

00:09will there be severe consequences?

00:11Does that change because of the meeting with the president?

00:12I don't think you need a ceasefire.

00:14You know, if you look at the six deals that I settled this year, they were all at war.

00:18I didn't do any ceasefires.

00:20And I know that it might be good to have, but I can also understand strategically why,

00:26well, you know, one country or the other wouldn't want it.

00:29You have a ceasefire and they rebuild and rebuild and rebuild.

00:32And, you know, maybe they don't want that.

00:35But if you look at the six deals that we made peace, you know, long-term, long-running wars,

00:41I didn't do any ceasefires.

00:43Would I like, I like the concept, you know, I like the concept of a ceasefire for one reason,

00:49because you'd stop killing people immediately, as opposed to in two weeks or one week or whatever it takes.

00:54But we can work a deal where we're working on a peace deal while they're fighting.

00:58They have to fight.

00:59I wish they could stop.

01:00I'd like them to stop.

01:01But strategically, that could be a disadvantage for one side or the other.

01:06But all of these deals I made without even the mention of the words ceasefire.
