When I was a kid, I looked at the United States not only as a most powerful country, richest country in the world, the country that has great music, great movies, great muscle cars, but also as a force for good.

And now I'm talking with my friends in Poland, and they are worried that you align yourself too much with Putin.

What's your message for them?

Well, if I didn't align myself with both of them, you'd never have a deal.

You want me to say really terrible things about Putin and then say, hi, Vladimir, how are we doing on the deal?

That doesn't work that way.

I'm not aligned with Putin.

I'm not aligned with anybody.

I'm aligned with the United States of America and for the good of the world.

I'm aligned with the world, and I want to get this thing over with.

You see the hatred he's got for Putin.

It's very tough for me to make a deal with that kind of hate.

He's got tremendous hatred.

And I understand that, but I can tell you the other side isn't exactly in love with him either.

So it's not a question of alignment.

I'm aligned with the world.

I want to get the thing set.

I'm aligned with Europe.

I want to see if we can get this thing done.

You want me to be tough?

I could be tougher than any human being you've ever seen.

I'd be so tough, but you're never going to get a deal that way.

So that's the way it goes.

All right, one more question.

Yeah, please.

I want to respond to this.

So look, for four years in the United States of America, we had a president who stood up at press conferences and talked tough about Vladimir Putin, and then Putin invaded Ukraine and destroyed a significant chunk of the country.

The path to peace and the path to prosperity is maybe engaging in diplomacy.

We tried the pathway of Joe Biden of thumping our chest and pretending that the president of the United States' words mattered more than the president of the United States' actions.

What makes America a good country is America engaging in diplomacy.

That's what President Trump is doing.

Can I ask you?

Sure.

Yeah? OK.

So he occupied our parts, big parts of Ukraine, parts of East and Crimea.

So he occupied it on 2014.

So during a lot of years, I'm not speaking about just Biden, but those time was Obama, then President Obama, then President Trump, then President Biden, now President Trump, and God bless, now President Trump will stop him.

But during 2014, nobody stopped him.

He just occupied and took.

He killed people.

You know what the contact was?

2015. 2014.

It was 2014. Well, 2014.

Yeah, yeah.

So he killed.

I was not here.

Yeah, but.

That's exactly right.

Yes, but during 2014 till 2022, the situation the same.

People have been dying on the contact line.

Nobody stopped him.

You know that we had conversations with him, a lot of conversation, my bilateral conversation.

And we signed with him, me, like a new president in 2019.

I signed with him the deal.

I signed with him Macron and Merkel.

We signed ceasefire. All of them told me that he will never go.

We signed him gas contract.

Gas contract.

Yes, but after that, he broken the ceasefire.

He killed our people, and he didn't exchange prisoners.

We signed the exchange of prisoners, but he didn't do it.

What kind of diplomacy, JD, you are speaking about?

What do you mean?

I'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to end the destruction of your country.

Yes, but if you are not strong.

Mr. President, Mr. President, with respect, I think it's disrespectful for you to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media.

Right now, you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems.

You should be thanking the president for trying to bring it to this conflict.

Have you ever been to Ukraine?

Did you say what problems we have?

I have been to...

Come once.

I have actually watched and seen the stories, and I know what happens is you bring people.

You bring them on a propaganda tour, Mr. President.

Do you disagree that you've had problems bringing people into your military?

We have problems.

And do you think that it's respectful...

I will answer. ...to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?

A lot of questions.

Let's start from the beginning. First of all, during the war, everybody has problems.

Even you.

But you have nice ocean and don't feel now, but you will feel it in the future. You don't know that.

God bless.

You don't know that. You will not have a war.

Don't tell us what we're going to feel.

We're trying to solve a problem.

Don't tell us what we're going to feel.

I'm not telling you.

Because you're in no position...

I'm answering on this question. ...to dictate that.

Remember this.

I'm not dictating.

You're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel.

We're going to feel very good.

You will feel influence.

We're going to feel very good and very strong. You will feel influence.

You're right now not in a very good position.

You've allowed yourself to be in a very bad position and he happens to be right about it.

From the very beginning of the war, Mr. President.

You're not in a good position.

I was...

You don't have the cards right now.

With us, you start having cards.

I'm not playing cards.

Right now, you don't...

I'm very serious, Mr. President.

You're playing cards.

I'm very serious.

You're gambling with the lives of millions of people.

You're gambling with World War III.

What do you think about that? And what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country.

It's back to you.

I'm with all respect to your words.

Far more than a lot of people said they should have.

Have you said thank you once?

A lot of times.

No.

Even today. In this entire meeting that you said thank you, you went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October.

Offer some words of appreciation for the United States of America and the President who's trying to save your country.

Please. You think that if you will speak very loudly about the war, you can...

He's not speaking loudly.

He's not speaking loudly.

Your country is in big trouble.

Can I answer?

Wait a minute.

No, no.

You've done a lot of talking.

Your country is in big trouble.

I know.

You're not winning.

I know.

You're not winning this.

I...

You have a damn good chance of coming out okay because of us.

We are staying.

Mr. President, we are staying in our country, staying strong from the very beginning of the war.

We've been alone.

And we are thankful.

I said thanks in this cabinet. You haven't been alone.

We gave you, through this stupid president, $350 billion.

You voted for your president.

We gave you military equipment.

You voted for your president.

And you met a brave, but they had to use our military equipment.

What about this?

If you didn't have our military equipment...

You invited me to speak.

If you didn't have our military equipment, this war would have been over in two weeks.

In three days.

I heard it from Putin.

In three days.

This is something new.

Maybe less.

In two weeks.

Of course, yes.

It's going to be a very hard thing to do business like this.

I tell you.

And to say thank you, I don't know how to thank you. I said a lot of times, thank you, to American people.

Except that there are disagreements, and let's go litigate those disagreements, rather than trying to fight it out in the American media when you're wrong.

We know that you're wrong.

But you see, I think it's good for the American people to see what's going on.

I think it's very important.

That's why I kept this going so long.

You have to be thankful.

You don't have the cards. You're buried there.

People are dying.

I can tell you again.

You're running low on soldiers.

I know.

Don't, please.

You're running low on soldiers.

It would be a damn good thing.

Then you tell us, I don't want a ceasefire.

I don't want a ceasefire.

I want to go, and I wanted this.

Look, if you could get a ceasefire right now, I'd tell you, you'd take it so the bullets stop flying and your men stop getting killed.

Of course we want to stop the war.

But I said to you. I want a ceasefire.

With guarantees.

Because you'll get a ceasefire faster than a degree.

Ask our people about ceasefire.

What they think.

It doesn't matter for you what the ceasefire means.

It wasn't with you.

That was with a guy named Biden who was not a smart person.

That was with Obama.

It was your president.

Excuse me.

That was with Obama who gave you sheets and I gave you javelins.

Yes.

I gave you the javelins to take out all those tanks.

Obama gave you sheets.

In fact, the statement is Obama gave sheets and Trump gave javelins.

You got to be more thankful.

Because let me tell you, you don't have the cards.

With us, you have the cards.

But without us, you don't have any cards.

It's going to be a tough deal to make because the attitudes have to change.

What are you saying?

She's asking what if Russia breaks the ceasefire?

What if anything?

What if a bomb drops on your head right now?

Okay.

What if they broke it?

I don't know.

They broke it with Biden because Biden they didn't respect him.

They didn't respect Obama.

They respect me.

Let me tell you, Putin went through a hell of a lot with me.

He went through a phony witch hunt where they used him and Russia.

Russia, Russia, Russia.

You ever hear of that deal?

That was a phony that was a phony Hunter Biden Joe Biden scam.

Hillary Clinton shifty Adam Schiff.

It was a Democrat scam.

And he had to go through that.

And he did go through it.

We didn't end up in a war.

And he went through it.

He was accused of all that stuff.

He had nothing to do with it.

It came out of Hunter Biden's bathroom.

It came out of Hunter Biden's bedroom.

It was disgusting.

And then they said, oh, oh, the laptop from hell was made by Russia.

The 51 agents.

The whole thing was a scam.

And he had to put up with that.

He was being accused of all that stuff.

All I can say is this.

He might have broken deals with Obama and Bush.

And he might have broken them with Biden.

He did.

Maybe.

Maybe he didn't.

I don't know what happened.

But he didn't break him with me.
