Andrew, can I add something, Blake? Going back to what we were talking about where I was half joking about him being a dictator, part of that is because he's losing popularity. And even before this happened, there's a very good chance he wouldn't win if he called an election, which is partially why he's not calling an election. Now,

Andrew, can I add something, Blake? Going back to what we were talking about where I was half joking about him being a dictator, part of that is because he's losing popularity. And even before this happened, there's a very good chance he wouldn't win if he called an election, which is partially why he's not calling an election. Now,

his constitution does grant him the right to declare martial law and thus he doesn't have to have an election. So that's what he's doing. But again, that basically gives him an indefinite, he could just declare he's at war for infinity and never call an election again, which is why I maintain he is a dictator. But part of it is he thought he would win an election

But part of it is he thought he would win an election

he probably would have called it by now to get himself another four-year runway. He's not called it. And stuff like this could make it even more likely that he would lose. So maybe the move is if this thing does not get resolved very quickly, and Trump are the deal guy, so Trump knows how to negotiate this stuff better than I do.

But maybe the move is if Zelensky does not come right back there, sign that deal, the move is to say the Ukrainian people, they need to have an election right now, frame it up that way. And that could be a huge squeeze on Zelensky when it comes to negotiating any sort of broker piece going forward. So Trump has a lot of moves he can play now.

Zelensky, with his tantrum, has given Trump even more leverage than he had previously, which was pretty much all of it.

He's got to wear an Al Sharpton tracksuit. He's got to get the Adidas tracksuit out. He's got to get the big metal gold chain going. What is with that look? Can we retire that look, please?

Totally right. But Graham is a politician, so Graham's angling for something, and I don't have a total read on it right this second. But he is right. I mean, that was, I thought, masterful by Vance and Trump, and it will go down in their historical canon as one of their best moments. Defending America and doing it calmly and articulately, they presented great arguments.

Trump swooping in there and saying to Zelensky, you have no right to tell us how to feel about was so perfect. It was such a classic where Trump just sees things so quickly. That was the exact right response. That was the moment of the day. Yes.
