00:00What did Mr. Khan say when it came to Donald Trump's election?
00:30Mr. Besser had a good relationship with Joe Biden.
00:32There was a negativity under Joe Biden.
00:34He didn't say anything about his release.
00:37But he did say that at least the negativity from Joe Biden's administration,
00:44Donald Lu, the letter, the cipher,
00:47that negativity will end because
00:49he did say one thing, which is important to do.
00:52Mr. Khan said that he had a good relationship as a Prime Minister with President US.
00:58Mr. Trump himself used to call him.
01:00And many things were discussed,
01:02like two-way relations, business issues, student issues.
01:06But Mr. Khan gave the impression that he had spoken many times
01:10with the President of the United States,
01:12Donald Trump at that time, Mr. Imran Khan.
01:14He gave you this impression.
01:16I said that as a Prime Minister,
01:18I used to keep in touch with him.
01:20And for many people in Pakistan,
01:22Mr. Trump said that the relationship was getting better.
01:25He also said that he had a good relationship with him.
01:28He said that he had a good relationship with him.
01:31Like a friendship or a two-way relationship.
01:34The thing he emphasized was that
01:36we don't expect that,
01:39I'm talking about myself,
01:41that we will call him for release.
01:43But what Mr. Khan specifically said,
01:46that at least the matters will be neutral after the departure of Joe Biden's administration.
01:51The relationship, the policies we have with him.
01:54Because the matter of Don Luu's cipher, the letter,
01:58it had a negativity.
02:00The Pakistan regime had a role in the change,
02:02it had an administration.
02:04So at least those things will be reversed
02:06and the matters will be better between the two countries.
02:08The relations of the countries will be better.
02:10Thank you very much.
02:11Ali Muhammad Khan was present with us.
02:13It was a friendship.
02:14It was a good relationship.
02:15We used to keep in touch.
02:16Issues used to be discussed.
02:17Translate.
02:18PTA people are jumping from the morning.
02:20Let me honestly tell you.
02:22PTA people are jumping from the morning.
02:24When Mr. Khan's door will open,
02:26the door will open and Mr. Khan will come out.
02:29So how do you define this?
02:30How do you translate this?
02:31One thing is that those jumps are justified.
02:33But let me give you a little historical background.
02:36In 1999,
02:39Mian Nawaz Shah is the Prime Minister
02:41and Bill Clinton is the President of America.
02:44And he had a good leader.
02:45And a very good president.
02:47Like Imran Khan and Trump.
02:49When the coup happened,
02:51he was punished and everything happened.
02:53Clinton called the three countries.
02:56UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
02:58He made a consortium.
03:00He said, my last day in office is January 20, 2001.
03:03I want Nawaz Sharif to be released before I leave.
03:08Come what may.
03:09He made a consortium.
03:11He put pressure on General Musharraf.
03:13And on December 10, 2000,
03:16a 747 Jumbo came
03:19and took the whole family to freedom.
03:21They didn't get hurt.
03:22So if a call comes.
03:24See, we were talking about this in the afternoon.
03:27My view was that if a call comes,
03:29then we will have to see the tone.
03:31Is it a request tone?
03:33Look, this is a human rights issue.
03:35Look into this.
03:36Or if it comes or not.
03:38Imran Khan should come out.
03:41How will Pakistan react to this call?
03:44If a strict call comes.
03:45I mean, if an orderly call comes.
03:47Let me tell you,
03:48if a call comes from the new administration of President Trump,
03:54a call is a call from the United States of America.
03:58Then there is no room for a no.
04:02In my opinion,
04:03which is not so strict in our system
04:06that we can resist.
04:07And that call will not only be this.
04:09That call will go.
04:10A copy of it will go to Riyadh.
04:12A copy will go to Abu Dhabi.
04:14That will be a collective effort.
04:16I think Americans don't even need a collective effort.
04:18We all know that.
04:19One call will be enough.
04:20Do you remember?
04:21There was an old saying.
04:22There is a call of 051 number.
04:24You are saying this is a call of plus one number.
04:26And you knew that when General Musharraf got a call from Colin Powell.
04:29Bush didn't come.
04:30Colin Powell, Secretary of State,
04:32had called General Musharraf after 9-11.
04:35So you had U-turned the 20-year-old Afghan policy.
04:39And Colin Powell wrote in his book
04:41that if Pakistan accepts such things,
04:43we cannot do it in America.
04:45And we didn't even ask for it.
04:47Everything was flat.
04:49So that call was not of the American President.
04:51Sir, but I don't think I can call.
04:53I think Pakistan will be very low on the packing order
04:56for the American President.
04:58He is not a traditional President.
05:00He is an open-minded person.
05:02Lorry style.
05:03Friendship.
05:04Slap.
05:05And Pioneer.
05:06And Ricky Hale.
05:07And Snau.
05:08Talk to him.
05:09He is that type of a person.
05:11He is a Jat type of a person.
05:14He is not very sophisticated.
05:16So you are actually telling people
05:18that you are very happy.
05:22Yes.
05:23And secondly, his supporters,
05:25the Pakistanis who are there,
05:27they also have that.
05:29They have come from the same system,
05:31the Diaspora.
05:35And the Diaspora has a big role.
05:37The rich Diaspora is always very influential.
05:40And secondly,
05:41if someone says to you that
05:43whatever injustice you have done,
05:45it is happening there as well.
05:47So there is camaraderie as well.
05:49Solidarity.
05:50Victimhood.
05:51So it is about that.
05:52Sir, do you think that because Trump believes
05:55that he was also shot in this environment.
05:57No, he says that he was weaponized.
05:59Assassinations happened.
06:00Cases.
06:01Connections.
06:02And he said this to my friend.
06:04So it is possible that he has a commonality.
06:06And in that as well,
06:07some people talked about his personal life.
06:09Both things.
06:10But the commonalities are big.
06:11Personal life allegations.
06:13Convictions.
06:14Then assassination attempts.
06:16Then the weaponization of the law.
06:19And convictions.
06:20And the press campaign,
06:22disinformation campaign as well.
06:24Convictions are happening every day.
06:26And he also says that there was a protest in the election.
06:28He also says this.
06:29So see, there are a whole lot of similarities.
