00:00On Russia and China, sir, can we ask about, we saw a dramatic picture where we saw the leaders of Russia and North Korea and China together the first time the leaders of those three countries have been together in this sort of show of solidarity. You said that they're conspiring against the United States. What do you think they're conspiring to do? And given this, is it reason why you should slap or would consider slapping secondary sanctions on Russia if they're conspiring against the U.S. now?
00:25Well, I've already done that with regard to India and we're doing it with regard to other things. And I put out a truth last night. You saw that. And I was the one that brought it up. I said, they're only doing this. They're really there looking to when they when they did what they did. I thought it was a beautiful ceremony. I thought it was very, very impressive. But I understood the reason they were doing it and they were hoping I was watching and I was watching my relationship with all of them is very good.
00:53And we're going to find out how good it is over the next week or two. I think that we helped China very much, as you know, when they talk about freedom.
01:00And I don't believe that and maybe I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong. But I don't believe that America, that the United States was acknowledged for helping China to get to to gain its freedom.
01:16But perhaps that was just a that was a sleight of hand. I mean, I was very I was very surprised. I watched the speech last night. President Xi is a friend of mine. But I thought that the United States should have been mentioned last night during that speech because we helped China very, very much.
01:35Thank you very much. How do you know this? How do you know there's no action? Really? Wait, wait. Who are you with? Who are you with? Okay. How do you know there's no action? Would you say that putting secondary sanctions on India, the largest
02:05purchase or outside of China, they're almost equal? Would you say there was no action that cost hundreds of billions of dollars to Russia? You call that no action? And I haven't done phase two yet or phase three. But when you say there's no action, I think you ought to get yourself a new job. Because if you remember two weeks ago, I did. I said if India buys India's got big problems and that's what happened. So don't tell me about that.
02:31So don't tell me about that.
