I've signed up.

I put the money down.

I just if you look at the state that Russia is in right now, you would think that Trump has a pretty good, strong upper hand to push Putin into a corner, much like he did in the Middle East, where he was able to really pull things together and and get a deal on the table.

We asked Jared to sit down with us for a conversation.
