00:00I have no doubt that President Putin made his decision to ruthlessly attack Ukraine
00:07only after watching the pathetic withdrawal from Afghanistan.
00:23The Russian attack on Ukraine is appalling.
00:26It's an outrage and an atrocity that should never have been allowed to occur.
00:41He actually made up a story about my phone call with the president of
00:46Ukraine, who by the way is a brave man. He's hanging in. He's a brave man.
00:49And I like him because, you know, during that ridiculous impeachment waste of time,
00:57and the Republicans stood by us, we were 196 and 0. When did you ever hear Republicans do that?
01:03But this was truly a scam. But the president of Ukraine said he did nothing wrong. He could
01:10have said he did something or he thought, well, I wasn't appropriate. Yesterday,
01:14reporters asked me if I thought President Putin was smart.
01:18I said, of course, he's smart, to which I was greeted with, Oh, that's such a terrible thing
01:23to say. I'd like to tell the two. Yes, he's smart. Putin is saying, Oh, they're going to
01:28sanction me. They sanctioned me for the last 25 years. You mean I can take over a whole country
01:33and they're going to sanction me? You mean they're not going to blow us to pieces, at least
01:38psychologically? The problem is not that Putin is smart,
01:44which, of course, he's smart. But the real problem is that our leaders are dumb.
