Oh, that's terrible.

But it's okay to bomb Venezuela.

Don't execute the drug peddler or the child trafficker, but let's bomb Venezuela.

It doesn't make any damn sense whatsoever.

That's where people's heads are right now in Washington, D.C.

But I worry.

Well, you know, you bring something up that's very interesting.

Somebody pointed out to me just the other day,

Benjamin Franklin told the population that was standing out in front of the Independence Hall when they asked, what sort of government do we have now, Mr. Franklin?

This is after the Constitutional Convention.

He said, well, you have a republic if you can keep it.

And he said, we need to change that because today, if Ben Franklin came back, he would say, you have a drama queen republic if you can keep it.

We have a lot of frivolous theatrics in Washington that passes for diplomacy and policy.

We have a president and you know that I like the president personally, always have.

But everything is about theatrics and optics and appearances.

And now we have the Prime Minister of Japan, who just made wonderful deals for Japan with us, by the way.

Japan is going to continue to buy oil and gas from Russia.

There will be no change in that.

Japan is going to invest more in the United States.

We're already heavily invested here as it is.
