And I said, your foreign policy is so bad, this is going to bring you down. And in fact, the Democrats lost their heads in this. And they were so intent on defeating Trump that no matter what Biden said, well, we have to back him up 100% as he led them off to war and complicity in the war here and the Ukraine war and tensions with China and all the rest.

But if yesterday turns into policy, which it could, and the Ukraine war ends soon, which it could, you're going to see everybody changing their views. Oh, I didn't support that. Peace is great.
