00:00It's NATO, basically, the question.
00:02So, we have been a great member of NATO.
00:07In many ways, certainly the predominant member.
00:11We paid trillions of dollars over the years.
00:13Not billions, trillions over the years to protect Europe.
00:16When we wanted to know, we didn't need any help at all.
00:21I was more curious than anything else.
00:24So I said to Pete, let's see if they'd actually come.
00:26So we asked them to come, and they weren't there for us.
00:28So we spent, it's stupid that they weren't.
00:32By the way, Starmer wasn't there.
00:33And you know what?
00:34The people of the UK did not like it that he wasn't there.
00:38Starmer said no.
00:39Starmer said worse than no.
00:41He said, we'll be there as soon as you win.
00:44I said, we don't need you as soon as we win.
00:47Before I went in, we called him.
00:49He said, oh, wow.
00:51We'll be there.
00:52This was not Winston Churchill, would you?
00:54That I can tell you.
00:55But Starmer said, we'll be there, right, Pete?
00:57As soon as we win.
00:58As soon as we win, they're going to come and help us, okay?
01:02But you know what?
01:03Italy was very bad.
01:05Italy was very bad.
01:06And other countries, Germany was very bad.
01:09So we spent all of this money, probably 600, I think we spent 600 million a year, right?
01:16I would say that.
01:17I think the real number, think of that.
01:19The numbers that we spend are so crazy, or NATO, and they weren't there for us.
01:27So I say to Pete, and I say to everybody else, if we're spending all of this money, hundreds,
01:33just hundreds of millions of dollars to protect them from Russia, mostly.
01:38Okay, so we're spending hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
01:45You know, the case could be made that we spent all of the money over the years before me.
01:50I cut it back.
01:51But listen, we spent all of this money, and then when we want to maybe have help on small
01:57stuff, this is small time.
01:59This is not the big one.
02:00This is small potatoes.
02:03They say no, we'd rather not help.
02:05Stupid thing to say, because we can say that to them if we want, and we might.
