00:00Sorry, we have to do this, yes.

00:01Mr. President, you have made it very clear that NATO needs to step up,

00:07although great progress has been made in the first mandate.

00:10How do you envision this new transatlantic?

00:13You're talking about NATO stepping up?

00:14Well, NATO is stepping up through this man.

00:16This man is a man that only knows how to step up.

00:20And we have the same goal in mind.

00:23We want the war ended.

00:25And he's doing his job.

00:26He only knows how to do a good job.

00:28That's one thing.

00:29That's why I fought for him to get that job.

00:32Because they had some other candidates that I'll tell you would not have done a very good job.

00:36I need this part of the movie for my family.

00:40We're going to get you a clip.

00:42We're going to get him a clip of that little last statement.

00:45The rest of the statements, he doesn't care.

00:47Sir, how does this new transatlantic cooperation, how do you envision it?

00:53Well, we have, that's one thing.

00:55I mean, you know, we're on the other side of the ocean.

00:57And they're right there.

01:00And yet we're in for $350 billion because of Biden.

01:05And they're in for $100 billion.

01:07So it's a big difference.

01:10And it's unfair.

01:11And I said, you have to equalize.

01:13They should equalize.

01:14They should have.

01:14It should have never happened where Biden just gave his money away.

01:19Now, as you know, we're we have an agreement with Ukraine on the rare earths and other

01:24things, and that'll get us something back, a lot back, get us our money back.

01:31We're not doing it for that, though.

01:32We're doing I'm just doing this to get the worst up.

01:35I'm doing it really to save lives.

01:37But at the same time, we were treated very unfairly, as we always are by every country.

01:43And we're in for very substantially more than the European nations are in for.

01:48And that shouldn't be, you know, they're much more affected by it than we are,

01:53because we do have an ocean in between.

01:55But I don't know.

01:57I think good things are going to happen.

01:59I really do.

01:59I think good things are going to happen.

02:01I do say we were talking before and Mark was very nice.

02:04He said, if you were to get involved, there would be nothing.

02:07You'd just be going on.

02:10This thing would have gone on for a long time.

02:12Yeah, we broke a deadlock.

02:14We did break a deadlock.

02:15I hope I hope.
