00:00Tremendous things to report.

00:02Tomorrow, I'm speaking with President Putin of Russia to save some soldiers who are in

00:07deep trouble.

00:08They're captured.

00:09Essentially, they're surrounded by Russian soldiers.

00:13So I give you a lot of different things in one news conference, but it's a big deal.

00:19They're surrounded by Russian soldiers.

00:22And I believe if it wasn't for me, they wouldn't be here any longer.

00:28I was able to get them not to do anything at this moment.

00:31But it's a bad situation in Russia, and it's a bad situation in Ukraine.

00:36What's happening in Ukraine is not good.

00:39But we're going to see if we can work a peace agreement, a ceasefire and peace, and I think

00:44we'll be able to do it.

00:45I'm speaking to President Putin tomorrow morning.

00:47Yes.

00:48No, not at all, no.

01:05Really the opposite.

01:06I think it was appreciated.

01:08And we have to understand and you have to understand that if I see somebody doing something

01:13bad, that's going to cause a lot of death.

01:15The only reason I'm involved, and this is Russia and Ukraine, but a lot of people, it's

01:21humanity.

01:22I'm involved for humanity.

01:23A lot of people are being killed over there, and we had to get Ukraine to do the right

01:29thing.

01:30It was not an easy situation.

01:31You got to see a little glimpse at the Oval Office.

01:35But I think they're doing the right thing right now, and we're trying to get a peace

01:38agreement done.

01:39We want to get a ceasefire and then a peace agreement.

01:45Who are you with?

01:55So we're going to see how it all works out.

02:00This was Joe Biden's deal.

02:02This isn't Trump's deal.

02:03This is Joe Biden's deal.

02:05He gave $350 billion to Ukraine, and he shouldn't have done it.

02:10It wasn't secured.

02:13Trump gave $100 billion, and it was in the form of a loan.

02:16They get their money back, and they should actually have much more in it than us.

02:22But Joe Biden was grossly incompetent, and it's a shame what they did, $350 billion.

02:29We could have rebuilt our entire Navy for that kind of money.
