00:00would not be a threat to NATO. This would greatly enhance the security of the entire alliance,
00:07the NATO alliance. The United States is treated very unfairly by NATO. I want to tell you that.
00:14And when you think about it, nobody can dispute it. We give so much and we get so little in return.
00:22And I've been a critic of NATO for many years. And yet I've done more to help NATO than any other
00:28president by far than any other person. You wouldn't have NATO if I didn't get involved
00:33in my first term. The war with Ukraine is an example. We are thousands of miles away,
00:40separated by a giant ocean. It's a war that should have never started and it wouldn't have started if
00:48the 2020 U.S. presidential election weren't rigged. It was a rigged election. Everybody now knows that.
00:53They found out people will soon be prosecuted for what they did. It's probably breaking news,
01:02but it should be. It's a rigged election. Can't have rigged elections. You need strong borders,
01:07strong elections, and ideally a good press. I always say it. Strong borders, strong elections,
01:14free, fair elections, and a fair media. The media is terrible. It's very crooked. It's very biased,
01:22terrible. But someday it'll straighten out because it's losing all credibility. Think of it,
01:27when I went in a landslide, a giant landslide won all seven swing states, won the popular vote,
01:33won everything, and they only get negative press. That means that it has no credibility.
01:40And if they're going to get credibility, they're going to have to be fair. So you need a fair press.
01:44But you also need those other elements. And I inherited a terrible, terrible situation.
01:55If you look, the border was open. The inflation was raging. Everything was bad with the United
02:00States when I came into office. But I also inherited a mess with Ukraine and Russia,
02:05something that would have never happened. And I know Putin very well. He and I would discuss
02:10Ukraine. It was the apple of his eye. But he wasn't going to do anything. I said,
02:14Vladimir, you're not doing it. He would never have done it. It was terrible what happened. I could
02:19see it happening, too. After I left, I could see it happening. Biden had given Ukraine and NATO
02:25$350 billion, a staggering sum, $350 billion. I came in, and just like the southern border,
02:34just like inflation, just like our economy. I said, wow, this place is in trouble, meaning our
02:43country. All of these things were out of control. But the border was out of control. We fixed it
02:50with the strongest border anywhere in the world. And I've now been working on this war for one year,
02:57during which time I settled eight other wars, India, Pakistan. I've been. I settled other wars that
03:03were. Vladimir Putin called me, Armenia, Abir, Bajan. He said, I can't believe you settled that
03:12war. They were going on for 35 years. I settled it in one day. And President Putin called me.
03:19He said, you know, I can't believe I've worked on that war for 10 years trying to settle it. I
03:24couldn't do it. I said, do me a favor. Focus on settling your war. Don't worry about that one.
03:28What does the United States get out of all of this work, all of this money, other than death,
03:36destruction, and massive amounts of...
