Zelensky is the guy who got him impeached in his first term.

His solution to peace is, I'm gonna squeeze Zelensky, try to get the Ukrainians to make all the concessions they can, hand it over to Putin,

and claim peace and say, hey, I got peace, can I please get the Nobel Peace Prize?

His problem so far is Putin wants more, right?

This is a very strange moment for the American president to be acting not as the lawyer for the embattled European democracy,

yearning to breathe free, but for the dictatorship, that is the aggressor.

And so much of it, I don't know if you've seen this, it's like 50s nostalgia.

You know, they have these photographs of...

kind of old cars and pristine beaches.

And it's so fascinating because the whole thing is the politics of nostalgia.

You know, there's this one moment where in Nikki Haley and her trying her best to do a MAGA imitation when she was running, she tweets something like, wasn't life so much simpler when we were growing up?

And I was thinking to myself, so when would that be, right?

Like, so you put it roughly speaking, I think for Nikki Haley, it would be the mid seventies.

Right.

And they're like, okay, the United States- The oil embargo.

Right.

We lost our first war in history.

The president was impeached and had to resign.

A hundred American cities were engulfed in ruinous race riots.

Oil prices quadrupled in one day, and then the economy was so bad, we had to create a new name for it, stagflation.
