00:00There's been concern in Australia that it's taken nine months to get this meeting.
00:04Have you had any concerns with this administration with its stance on Palestine, climate change,
00:09or even things the ambassador said about you in the past, the Australian ambassador?
00:13I don't know anything about him.
00:15If he said bad, then maybe he'll like to apologise.
00:18I really don't know, did an ambassador say something bad about him?
00:22Don't tell him that.
00:24Where is he? Is he still working for you?
00:26Yeah, yeah.
00:26You said bad?
00:30Before I took this position, Mr. President, I don't like you either.
00:34I don't, and I probably never will. Go ahead.
00:41You went. Go ahead. Behind you, President.
00:43Mr. President, your Secretary of the Navy said there will be some clarifications around some ambiguities on all this.
00:50Can you tell us what?
00:50Well, he'll get that taken. These are just minor details.
00:55John, you're going to get that taken.
00:56There shouldn't be any more clarifications, because we're just, we're just going now full steam ahead builders.
01:02Can we, please, please, please?
01:04Yeah, please.
01:04Thank you. Mr. President, are you now satisfied with Australia's defense investment, or do you want Australia to invest more in defense?
01:11Well, I'd always like more, but they have to do what they have to do.
01:13You know, you can only do so much.
01:15I think they've been great. They're building magnificent holding pads for the submarines. It's going to be expensive, too. You wouldn't believe the level of complexity, right, and how expensive it is. They're building tremendous docking because they have a lot of ships and a lot of things happening.
01:31And I think their military has been very strong. Very, very strong.
01:35Mr. President, on the war that you haven't solved yet, the Ukraine-Russia situation, have you now locked in a meeting? And can you explain, just a few weeks ago, you said that Ukraine could possibly win the war and keep its territory, but now the story seems a little different.
01:55Mr. They still win it. I don't think they will, but they could still win it. I never said they would win it. I said they could win. Anything can happen. You know, war is a very strange thing. A lot of bad things happen, a lot of good things happen. If you look at the Middle East, I would say prior to us hitting Iran so hard, we could have never made that deal because you would have had a dark cloud over the Middle East when we took out their nuclear capability, which was one of the great military maneuvers of all time. It was flawless. You saw that.
02:24Those magnificent B2s. I mean, that was a flawless move that was done by some very talented people headed up by Pete and everybody else and our great generals and general in particular, Raisin Kane. We did a great job.
