I will say uh on this Ukraine thing. voice-verified

the d this is the problem uh you know Trump berating them to spend five percent on defense and now they're rearming and like I I'm all for like NATO countries spending a little more on defense and and and obviously for them providing some budgetary and other support to Ukraine. voice-verified

But like voice-verified

I think maybe like not uh maybe that's moving too fast, you know, like the the the pe people voice-verified

It's just like the United States said, like, you don't care about us, you care about these immigrants and you care about Ukraine and you care about NATO and you're you're you're doing five year defense plans and and and I'm just not happy with the circumstance, right? voice-verified

The only other thing I want to throw into this mix, Tommy, is that voice-verified

Yeah, w shit. voice-verified

I mean, I we we've alluded many times to the kind of weaponization of debates about anti Semitism. voice-verified

Um voice-verified

About anything anybody says about Israel. voice-verified

J.D. voice-verified

Vance like flew to Europe. voice-verified
