00:00What did you tell them about the tomahawks?

00:01Did you discuss the tomahawk missiles?

00:03Did you discuss them?

00:04Well, we talked about it a little bit.

00:05Didn't say much.

00:06But I do say to you, you know, we need tomahawks for the United States of America, too.

00:12We have a lot of them, but we need them.

00:16I mean, we can't deplete for our country.

00:20So, you know, they're very vital.

00:22They're very powerful.

00:23They're very accurate.

00:24They're very good.

00:25But we need them, too.

00:26So I don't know what we can do about that.

00:29Why do you think a second meeting with Putin now will yield different results?

00:36Well, I think Alaska actually set a stage.

00:39And that wasn't very long ago, but it set a stage.

00:42You have to understand, I came into this situation.

00:44I didn't start this war.

00:45This is a Biden deal.

00:48And I came into it, and it was a mess.

00:50It could have led to World War III.

00:51In my opinion, this could have led to World War III.

00:54That won't happen.

00:55But it could have.

00:57So I came in.

00:58This war was raging.

00:59When I left, this wasn't even a thought for four years.

01:02Nobody talked about it.

01:03I spoke to President Putin about Ukraine.

01:05It was the apple of his eye.

01:06But there was no, never going to be doing anything like this.

01:09And this all went because of some really bad decisions that were made.

01:14And look what you have.

01:16You have millions of people dead.

01:18You have just a horrible, horrible situation.

01:21I'm doing it to save souls.

01:23That's all I'm doing it for.

01:24I'm not doing it for us.

01:25We have an ocean between us.

01:28I'm doing it also to help Europe.

01:30They want to have it ended, but they're unable to do it.

01:34I'm able to do it.

01:35So I think we'll be successful.

01:37We'll save a lot of lives.

01:38It should have been done.

01:39It should have never started.

01:40This would have never happened if the election weren't rigged.

01:42But did President Putin try to dissuade you from selling tomahawk missiles?

01:49Well, of course.

01:49What do you think he's going to say?

01:50Please sell tomahawks?

01:52Is he going to say, please sell those tomahawks?

01:55I really appreciate it.

01:57I did actually say, would you mind if I gave a couple of thousand tomahawks to your opposition?

02:03I did say that to him.

02:04I said it just that way.

02:06He didn't like the idea.

02:09He really did like the idea.

02:11No, I said it that way.

02:13You have to be a little bit lighthearted sometimes.

02:16But no, he doesn't want tomahawk.

02:18Tomahawk is a vicious weapon.

02:20It's a vicious, offensive, incredibly destructive weapon.

02:24Nobody wants tomahawk shot at him.

02:27He typically asks you not to provide global health.

02:28So wouldn't anybody?

02:31I mean, it's been in the news.

02:32Who wouldn't do that?

02:33CNN, who wouldn't do that?

02:35Do you think he's going to say, I'd love to have tomahawk sent my way?

02:39I don't think so.

02:39Yeah, please.

02:40Following up on that.

02:41I didn't say you.

02:42You're CNN fake news.

02:44Go ahead.

02:44You said in your post that if they kept killing people in Gotham, we would have no choice but

02:49to go in and kill them.

02:50So do you mean U.S. forces would go in and take out?

02:54No, I didn't say who would go in, but somebody will go in.

02:57It's not going to be.

02:58We won't have to.

02:59There are people very close, very nearby that will go in.

03:02They'll do the trick very easily.

03:04But under our auspices.

03:06Could I follow up?

03:07You also posted about your call with President Putin today.

03:10You spoke about meeting in Hungary with him.

03:13Do you have a timeline or a date set for what?

03:15I would say within two weeks or so.

03:16Pretty quick.

03:18Marco Rubio is going to be meeting with his counterpart, as you know, Labrov.

03:23And they'll be meeting pretty soon.

03:26They're going to set up a time and a place very shortly.

03:29Maybe it's already set up.

03:30They've already spoken.

03:31And I thought it was a very good phone call.

03:34I thought very productive.

03:35But I'll be meeting with President Putin.

03:38And we'll make a determination.

03:41Tomorrow I'm meeting with President Zelensky.

03:44And I'll be telling him about the call.

03:47I mean, we have a problem.

03:48They don't get along too well, those two.

03:49And it's sometimes tough to have meetings.

03:52So we may do something where we're separate.

03:55But separate but equal.

03:57We'll meet and talk to parties.

04:01But this is a terrible relationship the two of them have.

04:05And it's one of those things.

04:07I've seen things that nobody would believe.

04:10But this is one of them.

04:11So I'll be meeting.

04:12We're going to be meeting in Hungary.

04:14Viktor Orban is going to be hosting.

04:18And it's really something that's time.

04:23Last week, over 7,000 people were killed.

04:27That's ridiculous.

04:29And, you know, it doesn't affect our country.

04:31We're not losing people.

04:32We're not losing Bobby.

04:33We're not losing Americans.

04:35But they're losing Russians, Ukrainians, mostly soldiers.

04:38For the most part, soldiers.

04:40And we think we're going to get it.

04:42We hope we're going to get it stopped.

04:44I thought this would be, because of my relationship with President Putin,

04:48I thought this would be very quick.

04:50And it's turned out to be.

04:52Who would think I did Middle East before I did this?

04:54We did a total of eight now.

04:56Seven and now eight.

04:57And we're going to make this number nine.

05:01Mike, I'm going to second me.

05:02Yeah, please.

05:02You said you posted that there was great progress.

05:05Can you tell us a little bit about that?

05:07Was it a shift in Putin's tone?

05:09Was it something new?

05:10He told you.

05:11Did he give you any message to give?

05:13You're talking about the whole?

05:14President Zelensky tomorrow.

05:15It just seems to me that, you know, look, it's only a field.

05:20That's all I've done in my whole life.

05:21I've made deals.

05:22I know about deals.

05:23I do it well.

05:24I don't think any president's ever ended a war, frankly.

05:28One war.

05:28I did eight of them, Maria.

05:29Right?

05:30And but I don't know.

05:31Did Bush ever end?

05:32Do you think Biden ended a war?

05:34Biden started worse because he was stupid.

05:37But do you think Biden ended any wars?

05:40No.

05:40I don't think I don't know of anybody that ended wars.

05:42I ended eight of them.

05:44Oh, it's going to be nine.

05:45I think we're going to have this one done hopefully soon.

05:48But I'll be meeting him probably over the next two weeks.

05:51First, Marco is going to be meeting.

05:53And the vice president, as you know, is very much involved.

05:56The whole team is involved.

05:57Steve Whitcoff will be involved.

05:59Yeah.

05:59Steve Whitcoff will be involved.
