No.

Yeah.

I mean, I'm not thrilled that we're losing.

We've lost this war.

So maybe something for the therapist.

No, I know it's a problem.

I mean, I do.

I do want the world and Americans to see what Donald Trump has done to us.

And I think that is useful to point out.

But I take no pleasure, obviously, in our suffering a major defeat in a major strategic region of the world.

I have no strong feelings about John Cornyn one way or the other.

I feel like he's been a block of wood in the Senate for decades.

I'm sure he may have voted at times in ways that I would agree with, but I'm unaware of it.

I really have no strong feelings about John Cornyn, and I think it's wonderful we're going to get a chance to get pure MAGA on the ballot.

I mean, you know.

It's fair to say that there is unreliable as Trump about what the likely terms of a deal are going to be, except that I actually think they have a better chance of actually getting the terms that they're laying out than Trump, since Trump has no ability to affect them at all.

I mean, two things are true, and I just think somehow the news media has managed to miss these two things.

One is that we effectively lost the war after March 18th.

Trump has done nothing since March 18th, basically, since Iran retaliated to an attack in the Pars oil field by hitting the guttery gas industrial plant.

And fear of what Iran can do to the region has stymied Trump, and that's been the end of it.
