STUART: IS THIS DISCUSSION ABOUT
WHETHER WE SHOULD SEND JETS, MIG
JETS TO EPIDEMIC UKRAINIAN AIR
FORCE, WOULD YOU SEND IN THAT
KIND OF HELP?
> > WELL MAYBE EVEN MORE, TO BE
HONEST WITH YOU, AND I’M —
STUART: WHAT, MR. PRESIDENT?
> > I’M THE ONE THAT WOULD HAVE
SAID, LET ME JUST EXPLAIN THAT
PUTIN IS SAYING THINGS LIKE
DON’T YOU DARE SEND ANYTHING IN.
IN THE MEANTIME HE’S KILLING
THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE, SO HE’S ACTING LIKE
WE’RE AN AGGRESSOR IF WE SEND
IN OLD 44-YEAR-OLD PLANE THAT
PROBABLY GETS SHOT AT IN THE SKY
PRETTY QUICKLY, AND HE’S ACTING
LIKE WE’RE TERRIBLE PEOPLE IF WE
DO THAT, BUT HE’S KILLING TENS
OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, FAR MORE
THAN THEY ARE REPORTING.
YOU DON’T KNOCK DOWN THOSE
BUILDINGS AND BLOW UP
THOSE BUILDINGS AND THEY SAY TWO
PEOPLE ARE INJURED SLIGHTLY, AND
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE BEING
KILLED, AND WHEN HE SAYS DON’T
YOU DARE DO THAT, AND WE ALL SAY
OH, HE SAID DON’T DO IT, THE
FACT IS THAT WHAT HE’S DOING
IS A HUMAN TRAGEDY.
THERE’S NOT BEEN ANYTHING LIKE
THIS IN A SENSE MAYBE EVER, BUT
CERTAINLY SINCE WORLD WAR II
WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, BUT THERE’S
NEVER BEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS.
STUART: SO WHAT DO YOU DO NOW?
YOU SAID YOU’D MAYBE DO MORE
THAN JUST SEND IN THE MIG JETS,
ALL RIGHT WHAT MORE?
> > WELL WHAT I WOULD DO IS I
WOULD, WE WOULD, WE HAVE
TREMENDOUS MILITARY CAPABILITY
AND WHAT WE CAN DO WITHOUT PLANE
S TO BE HONEST WITH YOU,
WITHOUT 44-YEAR-OLD JETS, WHAT
WE CAN DO IS ENORMOUS, AND WE
SHOULD BE DOING IT AND WE SHOULD
BE HELPING THEM TO SURVIVE AND
THEY’RE DOING AN AMAZING JOB
WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THEY
WOULD HAVE BEEN SO POWERFUL, THE
WAY THEY PROTECTED THAT
COUNTRY, BUT THEY NEED OTHER
KINDS OF HELP, AND ONE THING I
DO RAPIDLY IS I’D GET THE OIL
FLOWING BECAUSE IF YOU REDUCE
THE PRICE OF OIL SIGNIFICANTLY,
THAT WAR IS GOING TO END.
THAT WAR IS GOING TO END.
YOU KNOW THE EXPRESSION, WHAT
YOU NEED FOR WAR IS THREE THINGS
MONEY, MONEY, AND MONEY.
IF YOU BRING DOWN THE PRICE OF
OIL, AND YOU COULD KNOCK THE
HELL OUT OF THE PRICE, I HAD
IT DOWN TO $1.71 AT ONE POINT,
IN FACT IT WAS SO LOW THAT I WAS
AFRAID WE WERE GOING TO LOSE OUR
OIL COMPANIES.
YOU’VE GOT TO GET THAT OIL DOWN,
AND IF YOU GET THE OIL DOWN,
THAT WAR IS GOING TO END.
STUART: WELL LET ME PRESS YOU
AGAIN ON WHAT EXTRA MILITARY
HELP YOU WOULD GIVE TO THE
UKRAINIANS.
YOU SAY YOU WANT TO DO MORE THAN
JUST THE MIG JETS OR THE
JAVELINS.
WHAT MORE?
> > WELL I THINK THE DRONES ARE
JUST AS EFFECTIVE AS ANYTHING
NOW.
THEY MAKE DRONES TODAY, WE MAKE,
WE HAVE DRONES THAT ARE JUST AS
EFFECTIVE AS JUST ABOUT
ANYTHING IN THE AIR, ANYTHING
YOU CAN DO IN THE AIR AND YOU
CAN DO DRONES PLUS THEY GIVE
BACK TREMENDOUS AMOUNTS OF
INFORMATION AND THE INFORMATION
LEADS MISSILES RIGHT TO WHATEVER
THE HELL TARGET THEY ARE AND
THEREFORE, YOU’RE BEING NEUTRAL,
IT SO RIDICULOUS.
