World War III, if we can support Ukraine now.

And the problem is, is I just don't think we have that messaging.

The Republicans are very good at that lowest common denominator, whereas Democrats, I worry, have this mentality where they need to sound the smartest and they need to sound like, well, based on these studies from the Council of Foreign Relations, yeah, absolutely.

Use those studies, but get it to two sentences and tell it how it affects someone in middle America.

Matt, I got a question for you.

What would you have liked to see as Democrats' energy policy?

Because I kind of just gave my quick rundown of what I think foreign policy should look like.

And I'm going to push out a big video later on that talks way in depth of that.

But what would you like to see the Democrats talk about from an energy side?

Because like you said, they didn't have anything in here.

They need something.

And I think, I wish one thing that I think the democratic party could do to better is the, the, the notion of, and I'm going to say this and I'm going to caveat it, the notion of America first, not America first trademark magas.

They're, they're stealing of that, that term more of that, uh,

America functions best when it leads a coalition of democracies, not when it isolates itself, not when it tries to act alone.

And this is a lesson we learned in the post-World War II order, that the Trump administration is currently teaching us the alternative of our coalition, a U.S.-led coalition, is chaos and problems, Iran.

And I call it pragmatic internationalism.

And it kind of sounds weirdly like globalism, which is a four letter word for a lot of people.

But what I see when I say this is it's America first, as in where our foreign policy is American interests, focusing on American workers, American security, American long term advantage achieved through international engagement with allies rather than in spite of it.

And Trump's version of America first sacrifices our allies and actual American power for this short term Tweety.

I goes on true social and has a spectacle.
