| 0:00.0 | How long are you willing to wait until you get a unified response? Don't rush me, Jeff. I hope the fake news, people like you, I hope the fake news are going to be able to write about it accurately, because when you say, oh, they're fighting very well, they're not fighting well, they would, they've been obliterated, Jeff, obliterated. If you read the New York Times, the failing New York Times, subscriptions are way down, as you know. We have no pressure. |
| 0:24.0 | It's only guys like you with a question like that about what's your time? What do you say to the American people who question how much longer this will take? Obviously, you know, that they are having higher time. You hear such a disgrace. Did you hear what I just said? So if you're asking for more time to sort out negotiations for the month. I'm not asking you for more time. I'm not asking for them. |
| 0:41.3 | No. I'm not asking anybody for more time. The stock market is at an all-time high right now. I thought it would have been down 20, 25%. When we hit, wait a minute. Can I finish my question, wise guy? |
| 1:11.9 | Wow, I tell you, tomorrow night's White House correspondent's dinner, Willie, I kind of think, look at it as the same kind of like the end of it's a wonderful life where everybody, he gets Zuzuzhou's pedals and they get around the Christmas tree and they're singing all're singing old things i mean this is going to be a hoot the president getting together with a group of people |
| 1:18.2 | that he loves and admires as much as he loves and admires the press deep respect and so many |
| 1:23.5 | members of his cabinet who share his respect for the press will be seated at the tables |
| 1:27.4 | oh yeah i mean the fragility on display in the last two clips, the end, |
| 1:31.9 | what Sam Stein just showed of the president, going out of his way to say that his crowds were |
| 1:36.7 | bigger than those for Martin Luther King during the I Have a Dream speech. And then the inability, |
| 1:42.2 | those were not gotcha questions in the Oval Office about the war with Iran. |
| 1:45.7 | Those were very basic questions about where the war is headed and a timeline that he's been setting timelines again and again, two weeks, four to six weeks. |
| 1:54.0 | It doesn't inspire confidence. Let's just say that. |
| 1:57.9 | Well, yeah, and you know, the questions are really important questions, and they're questions that not only we need to hear domestically, but also that the Iranians need to hear instead of the president popping off and asking like they asked a ridiculous question. |
| 2:16.1 | I mean, it's very important for Americans to understand, for the Iranians to understand, |

| 2:29.3 | Or to say he's going to come home. |
| 2:31.1 | Those are the most legitimate questions ever. |
| 2:33.1 | And I think it really just suggests that he's now to come home. Those are the most legitimate questions ever. And I think it really just |
| 2:34.9 | suggests that he's now been so insulated inside the White House that even questions like that seem |
