And we're back.

And this month also marks four years since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Greg.

Can you get us up to speed on that conflict there and what is the current state of the war?

Well, President Trump said earlier this year that he wanted an end to this conflict by this summer, Franco.

Where is the U.S.

involvement stand right now in this war and moving towards that aim?

Well, you mentioned Europe kind of replacing the United States as the sort of main driver behind Ukraine's military efforts.

Is that specifically because President Trump has sort of taken a more hands off approach than President Biden did in terms of supporting Ukraine?

I mean, where do things go from here in terms of timeline?

Are we any closer or...

Is a resolution in sight at all, or is there even the glimmer of down the road of a resolution here, or does it feel like this is just indefinite stalemate moving forward?

No, you're absolutely right.

One more break and then it's time for Can't Let It Go.

And we're back.

And it is time now for Can't Let It Go, the part of the show where we talk about the things that we just cannot stop thinking about, politics or otherwise.

Greg, why don't you start us off?

I want to rewind for just a second because I actually, using lasers, I thought that was like a thing that only happened in James Bond movies.

Am I missing something here?

When we talk about that, are we talking about like Moonraker and James Bond where they're like shooting?

What is using a laser to shoot down a drone?
