00:00The Press.
00:01The Press.
00:02Thanks, Mr. President.
00:03First, I just want to thank you for letting us in here.
00:05I'm with Zero Hedge and the last administration banned us
00:07on social media, so we're really grateful to be in the
00:09White House.
00:10And this is not exactly sports related, but I've been dying
00:13to ask you this question for a long time, which is that two
00:15and a half years ago, the Nord Stream pipeline blew up.
00:19And despite what people like John Brennan and all the
00:22Hawks said, you were one person who said Russia
00:25probably did not blow up its own pipeline.
00:27The President.
00:28They said Russia blew it up.
00:29Yeah.
00:30And so I'm wondering now that you're president, if you would
00:32consider launching a formal investigation into what
00:34happened there and who actually did blow it up?
00:37Well, probably if I asked certain people, I'd be able to tell
00:40you without having to waste a lot of money on an investigation.
00:43But I think a lot of people know who blew it up.
00:47But I was the one that blew it up originally because I wouldn't
00:50let it be built.
00:51And then when Biden got in, he allowed it to be built.
00:53And it's very interesting.
00:56But I think Russia, with the price of oil right now, oil's
01:00gone down.
01:01I think we're in a good position to settle.
01:03They want to settle.
01:05Ukraine wants to settle.
01:07If I weren't president, nobody would be settling.
01:09They're losing 5,000 people a day.
01:11Think of it.
01:12Here we talk about football.
01:13They're losing 5,000 people on average a week.
01:16Mostly Russian soldiers and Ukrainian soldiers.
01:205,000 a week.
01:22Not including people that are, you know, killed as missiles go
01:26into areas that they shouldn't be.
01:28It's a very terrible thing.
01:30And I think we're, we've come a long way.
01:32And it could be something will happen.
01:34But hopefully it will.
01:35As you know, President Putin just announced a three-day cease-fire.
01:39Which doesn't sound like much, but it's a, it's a lot if you knew where we started from.
01:44Because they were not, we had a president that for three years didn't speak to Putin.
01:49And it all shouldn't have happened.
01:53This is a war that should have never happened.
01:55And you're going to be very disappointed when you find out the real number of people that were killed.
02:00It's far greater.
02:02Many times greater, I believe.
02:04But far greater than the numbers that you're putting out.
02:08It's a very, very deadly, horrible war.
02:10Okay?
02:11Yes, ma'am.
02:12Thank you, Mr. President.
