00:00I'll do it. I'll try it.
00:02What's the socket for?
00:04What's the socket?
00:06By the way, I heard good news.
00:08Good news is great.
00:10I tell you what, that's all because of the Prime Minister.
00:12We lost a game to the Labour government.
00:15Is football coming home, Prime Minister?
00:17It looks like it.
00:19Well, welcome.
00:21It's good to see you.
00:23We had a long conversation on the phone
00:25and you won and
00:27we're the best of allies in the whole world.
00:31We really need to continue to cooperate.
00:35A lot has been talked about.
00:37I think that
00:39quite often we talk about
00:41how football looks like soccer.
00:43By the way,
00:45soccer has become
00:47incredibly popular here in the United States.
00:49It really is growing.
00:51But anyway,
00:53there's a lot going on.
00:55I think we're
00:57seeing closer ties in Europe.
00:59I think we're all in this together.
01:01I think it's a great idea.
01:03We're going to be working together.
01:05So we had a good meeting today in NATO.
01:07Very good.
01:09And I think things are moving in the right direction.
01:13I'm really optimistic.
01:15Welcome, welcome, welcome.
01:19Thank you very much, Mr. President.
01:21First of all, congratulations
01:23on a really successful summit.
01:25It's been an incredibly important moment.
01:2775 years.
01:29A bigger NATO.
01:31A stronger NATO.
01:33And a NATO with the resolve that we need.
01:35I thought the
01:37medal, the honor
01:39for Jens Stoltenberg yesterday
01:41was very special.
01:43I don't think he was expecting it.
01:45No, he wasn't.
01:47He was leaving
01:49and I intervened.
01:51I swear to God, my knees were beating.
01:53I said, no, I'm not kidding.
01:55I talked him into staying.
01:57He still talked to me.
01:59I had love for him when he was just about to get
02:01the Central Bank.
02:03But let's say I'm free.
02:05I've been a newspaper.
02:07He's still in the job.
02:09He's done a great job.
02:11The special relationship is so important.
02:13It's forged
02:15in difficult circumstances.
02:17We've endured for so long.
02:19So we're very
02:21pleased to be able to come so early in
02:23the government to
02:25recommit to NATO.
02:27To recommit to the special relationship.
02:29To discuss
02:31these affairs with you is
02:33really important for us.
02:35I kind of see
02:37you guys as
02:39not tying the chain of
02:41ties together.
02:43The closer you are, the more
02:45we know
02:47what we have
02:49objected.
02:51I think that's absolutely right.
02:53Now we go into a cup final
02:55on Sunday.
02:57On top of all of that.
02:59I actually watched, I began to watch
03:01the game with the Dutch
03:03Prime Minister, but we left one arm.
03:09You guys are still talking on that?
03:11We haven't seen each other since.
03:13But anyway.
03:15We've got a lot to talk about.
03:17Thank you all for coming.
