I never had a Rand Paul libertarian streak or a nationalist isolationist streak in him. John Thune was indistinguishable as a politician through his stated words and actions from Mitch McConnell or from pre-Trump administration Marco. That was John Thune. And he has paid lip service to being pro-Ukraine. He's always voted on the Ukraine side when things came to a vote. He could do this.

He could put up a bill, you know, he could spearhead a bill through the Senate that provides more assistance and help to Ukraine right now. And I agree with you. I think it would pass. And I think it would pass with a veto-proof majority. And maybe depending on how the politics play out, whether Trump pressures people or strong-arms people, but I think it would.

And the fact that he's not doing it is really shameful and weak. And I think it merits criticism. just being called out specifically, John Thune.

Just a simple way to put it is John Thune carried water for Tulsi Gabbard and has abandoned Zelensky in Ukraine. That's what he's done. No matter what he says or what he thinks his position is on private or maybe in private, he's made a phone call or two. But from a public standpoint, through five months of being leader, that's what his record is.

Just one specific example of this, I sent you this article Michael Weiss flagged for me about these specific missiles, these PAK-3 missiles, which are the response missiles that Ukraine needs to stop the ballistic missiles that are coming in from Russia. And as you've mentioned, Russia has stockpiled a bunch of these, and they were the ones causing a lot of damage this weekend.

And Zelensky is saying that Ukraine will pay whatever it takes to Presumably Europe is helping with that. It's a Lockheed, I guess, that makes these. And the White House remains just non-committal on this. So again, there are specific things that we can do that are defensive to protect Ukrainian civilians. And Ukraine has said they will pay for them. It's not even aid.

And yet we're still not doing it. That's shameful. It's shameful, really. Yeah. Okay. Shameful. I don't know much more to say on that.
