00:00You are a rude, terrible person.
00:02And if you are ready to go to Brazil, then I invite you to Moscow.
00:16My question is for you, Mr. Prime Minister.
00:19With your permission.
00:21First of all...
00:22I am a disciplined soldier.
00:25The President is everything for me.
00:30I wanted to challenge you on one of the statements that you made in the tail end of the campaign.
00:37In the midterms.
00:38Here we go.
00:39Well, if you don't mind, Mr. President, that this caravan was an invasion.
00:43I consider it to be an invasion.
00:45As you know, Mr. President, the caravan was not an invasion.
00:48It's a group of migrants moving up from Central America towards the border with the U.S.
00:53Thank you for telling me that.
00:54They're hundreds of miles away, though.
00:56They're hundreds and hundreds of miles away.
00:58That's not an invasion.
00:59Honestly, I think you should let me run the country.
01:01You run CNN.
01:02All right.
01:03And if you did it well, your ratings would be much better.
01:05If I may ask one other question.
01:06Mr. President, if I may ask one other question.
01:08Are you worried?
01:09That's enough.
01:10That's enough.
01:11Mr. President.
01:12I'll tell you what.
01:13CNN should be ashamed of itself having you working for them.
01:15You are a rude, terrible person.
01:17You shouldn't be working for CNN.
01:59If you have any questions, I'll take them all.
02:06Don't you think that by trying to eradicate terrorism in Chechnya,
02:11you are going to eradicate the civilian population of Chechnya?
02:15If you want to become an Islamic radical
02:20and are ready to commit suicide,
02:23then I invite you to Moscow.
02:25We have a multi-confessional country.
02:28We have specialists on this issue.
02:30I recommend that we do this operation in such a way
02:35that you have nothing left to grow.
02:58For me, no.
02:59Because I opened myself up to it.
03:01But you.
03:02For other women, it is totally unacceptable in 2017
03:06to say that women should have to answer that question in the workplace.
03:10But this is my point.
03:11No, I'm going to count that.
03:12No, it is unacceptable in 2017.
03:18In this country, since you became president,
03:20in the five months since you became president,
03:23more people have actually been killed
03:26and died during the nine years of the Marcos dictatorship,
03:29which we've also been talking about.
03:31I could ask the same question.
03:33Why is America losing 40,000 lives in drug-related cases?
03:39You do not do that to me.
03:41When you are a hypocrite to me, you are a hypocrite.
03:44Thank you, Mr. President.
