So Bridge Colby is someone who can sort of act as an intellectual axle to bring together these sort of different components of the machine to advance President Trump's foreign policy and America First foreign policy. And there are people who want to prevent that from happening.

They want to throw spanners in the works, basically, and prevent Colby from being nominated to the number three slot in the Pentagon. And they want to fill the Trump administration to the extent they can with neoconservatives and people who are going to be trying to foil Donald Trump's plans. And unfortunately, Senator Tom Cotton has gone along with this to some degree.

And I have to credit you, Charlie, for being the first person to speak out on X and basically call out Senator Cotton for doing the bidding of people like Bill Kristol.

Well, he would be the undersecretary for policy, which, as the name suggests, is responsible for a lot of the formulation of exactly how America, how our defense apparatus is going to approach other nations around the world. It's a very important strategic role. And so you can see why there is a great deal of scrutiny being applied to Bridge Colby.

And, you know, you can also see why people who don't like the president's agenda and don't like what Bridge Colby represents, why they think that if they can sabotage this, they'll actually score a lot of points and be able to really cripple what Donald Trump's trying to do in reorienting American foreign policy towards America's national interest.

So it's a critical policymaking grand strategy kind of position. And Bridge Colby is exactly the right person for it. And there's an awful lot of pressure, however, being brought to bear sort of behind the scenes. There's this whispering campaign against him, putting out all sorts of just nasty rumors because there's no honest case to be made against this gentleman.

He really is someone who comes from a patriotic family. He's someone who has, again, sort of withstood all the pressures to conform within Washington. And now the question is, will this whispering campaign now being led perhaps by Senator Cotton, succeed in derailing this gentleman who would be a true asset to President Trump's agenda.

Speak to that. Yeah, you know, the difference between Trump 1 and today is that Trump 1 had so many of these disloyal staffers who were able to restrain the president and keep his foreign policy from going in the direction where he wanted to take it. President Trump really does have, first of all, an America first view, yes. but also an America's first view.

He sees the strategic importance of our own hemisphere as being paramount, which is why Secretary Rubio spent his first trip going to the Caribbean and to Central America. It's why we've been talking about Greenland so much. We have to defend our own hemisphere, keep the influence of people like China. from reaching into our own backyard.

When it comes to Europe, what's absolutely essential for Europe's own defense is that the Europeans themselves be the primary providers, that they be fully invested, not only in terms of the money they spend for the military that they have, but also that they should be willing to be the first line of defense of their own continent and their own borders. Right now, that's not the case.
