STRENGTHEN AND KEEP NATO
COMPLETELY UNITED AND HELP
UKRAINE WHERE WE CAN.
>> YOU'VE SAID THAT YOU'RE
CONFIDENT YOUR COMMENT WON'T
UNDERMINE DIPLOMATIC EFFORTS.
ARE YOU CLEAR VLADIMIR PUTIN
SEES IT THAT WAY, THAT HE WON'T
USE IT AS AN ESCALATORY.
>> I DON'T CARE WHAT HE THINKS.
HE IS GOING TO DO WHAT HE'S
GOING TO DO.
>> YOU AREN'T CONCERNED THAT HE
MIGHT USE THAT AS AN EXCUSE TO
ESCALATE GIVEN HIS RECENT
BEHAVIOR?
>> GIVEN HIS RECENT BEHAVIOR HE
SHOULD -- EXCUSE ME.
I SHOULDN'T SAY THAT TO YOU.
GIVEN HIS RECENT BEHAVIOR PEOPLE
SHOULD UNDERSTAND HE IS GOING TO
DO WHAT HE THINKS HE SHOULD DO,
PERIOD.
HE'S NOT AFFECTED BY ANYONE
ELSE, INCLUDING, UNFORTUNATELY,
HIS OWN ADVISORS.
THIS IS A GUY THAT GOES TO THE
BEAT OF HIS OWN DRUMMER.
THE IDEA HE WILL DO SOMETHING
OUTRAGEOUS BECAUSE I CALLED HIM
FOR WHAT HE WAS AND WHAT HE'S
DOING I THINK IS JUST NOT
RATIONAL.
>> THANK YOU.
>> WOW.
>> THANK YOU.
>> HE ONLY GETS BETTER.
>> I MEAN I'M SORRY, JUST THANK
YOU.
THIS WHOLE IDEA, WOMEN, WHATELL,
VLADIMIR PUTIN -- YOU KNOW WHAT?
WHEN THE QUESTION WAS ASKED
YESTERDAY IT WAS LIKE, I DON'T
CARE, WE DON'T CARE.
WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT VLADIMIR PUTIN THINKS AND
THEN HE INVADES UKRAINE.
WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT VLADIMIR PUTIN THINKS AND
THEN HE BOMBS CHILDREN'S
HOSPITALS.
WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT VLADIMIR PUTIN THINKS, AND
THEN HE BOMBS --
>> MATERNITY HOUSES.
>> -- MATERNITY WARDS, THEN HE
BOMBS CANCER HOSPITALS, THEN HE
BOMBS -- JUST BOMBS CIVILIAN
HOMES.
THEY TARGET -- WHO CARES WHAT HE
THINKS?
LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN.
WHO CARES WHAT HE THINKS?
IT IS TIME FOR HIM TO START
WORRYING ABOUT WHAT WE THINK,
WHAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES THINKS.
WHAT THE CONGRESS THINKS.
LET'S JUST CALL IT WHAT IT IS.
WITH THE INDISPENSABLE POWER FOR
FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY ON THE
PLANET THINKS AND HOW WE WORK
WITH OUR FRIENDS AND ALLIES IN
EUROPE.
WHO CARES WHAT HE THINKS AT THIS
POINT?
SERIOUSLY, WHO CARES?
I SWEAR, I UNDERSTAND THE
QUESTIONS.
THEY NEED TO BE ASKED.
I UNDERSTAND WHY THEY NEED TO BE
ASKED.
THEY'RE ALL IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
FOR JOURNALISTS TO ASK.
ALL RIGHT.
BUT IT IS ALSO FINE FOR THE
PRESIDENT TO BECOME IMPATIENT.
YOU KNOW, RONALD REAGAN
CONSTANTLY, CONSTANTLY THROUGH
THE 1980s WAS HEARING THIS
NONSTOP.
HE DARED TO TALK ABOUT PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH.
THROUGH STRENGTH.
HE DARED TO DEPLOY PERSHING 2
CRUISE MISSILES INTO GERMANY.
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WOULD GO OUT
INTO THE STREETS AND PROTEST AND
BURN AMERICAN FLAGS AND BURN
REAGAN IN EFFIGY.
OH, HE'S GOING TO GET US INTO
WORLD WAR III.
WE HEARD IT TIME AND TIME AGAIN.
PLEASE, LOOK IT UP.
OKAY.
GO BACK AND DO SOME CHECKS ABOUT
WHAT PEOPLE SAID ABOUT RONALD
REAGAN WHEN HE TOOK A STRONG
POSITION AND CALLED THE EVIL
EMPIRE WHAT IT WAS, AN EVIL
EMPIRE.
DIPLOMATS WERE SHOCKED AND
STUNNED AND DEEPLY -- OH, THIS
IS TERRIBLE, NOW WE CAN NEVER
NEGOTIATE WITH THEM.
NO, ACTUALLY REAGAN WAS RIGHT.
WE WON THE COLD WAR.
I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE
LEFT LOVE TO SAY IT ONLY
HAPPENED BECAUSE OF MIKHAIL
GORBACHEV.
NO, IT ONLY HAPPENED BECAUSE OF
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
RONALD REAGAN AND OUR ALLIES
PUSHED THEM INTO A CORNER THEY
COULDN'T GET OUT OF,
ECONOMICALLY, MILITARILY,
POLITICALLY AND EVERY OTHER WAY.
THAT'S HAPPENING NOW.
FOR 20 YEARS WE'VE HAD
PRESIDENTS THAT HAVE ALLOWED
VLADIMIR PUTIN TO PUSH THE WORLD
AROUND.
THAT STOPPED.
BY THE WAY, IF JOE BIDEN SEES
REFUGEES, IF HE SEES MOTHERS, IF
HE SEES ORPHANS, IF HE SEES
FAMILY MEMBERS WHO LOST A
HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR IN THIS ROUND
OF BOMBING, YEAH, I HOPE HE GETS
EMOTIONAL AND I HOPE HE CALLS
HIM WHAT HE IS.
LOOK AT THE MAN, LOOK AT THE MAN
ON YOUR SCREEN.
YOU KNOW WHAT HE IS?
HE IS A BUTCHER.
HE IS A BUTCHER OF BABIES.
HE IS A BUTCHER OF GRANDMOTHERS.
HE IS A BUTCHER OF HOLOCAUST
SURVIVORS.
HE LITERALLY, HE LITERALLY, AS
DR. BRZEZINSKI WROTE IN THE
EARLY 1980s, RUSSIANS, THEY'RE
WEAK SO THEY GO FIND WEAKER
COUNTRIES TO GO INTO AND THEY
TRY TO WIPE THEM OUT, AS
DR. BRZEZINSKI SAID,
BIOLOGICALLY.
HE'S COMMITTING WAR CRIMES.
SO, YEAH, I THINK MOST AMERICANS
AND MOST FREEDOM-LOVING PEOPLE
ACROSS THE WORLD, THEY WANT
THEIR PRESIDENT TO SEE THE PAIN
AND AGONY THAT UKRAINIANS ARE
