00:00I had one on Ukraine but I wanted to ask you one about veterans since they are here today and thank you for your service and sacrifice. I wanted to ask you about the cuts that have been made including with the VA. Can you assure that veterans like these men here, those that have been suffering from mental health issues or burn pits for example will be taken care of.
00:23Yeah, very much so. In fact, they will tell you it's been better with me than any president in history. We had a 92% approval rating, which is unheard of, up 50 points from the previous administration in my first four years and we're doing better now. In fact, now they have something to call in, to call in doctor stuff where it's really become, you know, it's really become modernized and great where you don't have to go and travel sometimes long distances to get to a clinic or get to the VA.
00:51And I just heard this morning, I was listening to Doug Collins, who's the secretary. He was being interviewed and the numbers are incredible. The, the approval ratings are the highest we've, I've never heard numbers like this. It's better than the first four years. So no, there's nobody, there's no group of people more important than the people in this room. And I am not talking about the media. I'm talking about, I'm talking about these people right here. There's no group and they're going to be taken really well care of. That's very important to me.
01:21And on the war.
