No one is going to attack the United States. So peace depends on us. No one is attacking us. China is not about to invade the United States. Russia is not going to attack the United States. Mexico and Canada are not going to attack the United States. Panama is not going to attack the United States. Greenland's not going to attack.
Well, I'm sorry to make I don't want to go the whole list, but I'm just confident about this. So if the president wants peace, he'll get it. If he gets peace, believe me, he'll get all the other things that he wants, like low inflation, being able to pass the budget that he wants, getting his tax policies that he wants. But if there's war, he ain't going to get any of it. That's the basic point.

And, you know. I voted Democratic in 2020. I voted for Biden. And Biden, I've had a lot of experience with governments over the last 45 years. So I watched them and I think I understand a lot of them. And Biden, in the first days, said stupid things about foreign policy. The world is divided between this and this and blah, blah, blah. And you say, my God, the guy doesn't get it.

And in fact, he didn't get it at all. And I told many Democratic leaders when they still talk to me now, they don't talk to me and I don't talk to them. You're going to do something completely, almost impossible in American politics, which is you're going to lose on the basis of foreign policy. Because Americans don't vote on foreign policy.

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. And they...

And then what's ironic is, you know, this wonderful person who was confirmed yesterday for the head of the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. who's really smart, by the way, very honest, very meticulous. I know her extremely well over many, many years, totally up and up. So I'm delighted she's going to be briefing the president each day. I couldn't think of a better person.
