Look, in 100 politicians anyway, three think the rest line up somewhere tactically. So yes, they will change their view. They'll complain about other things. That's their job. They're in the opposition. But this war. was a disastrous, stupid project that went awry, should have ended, makes no sense.

And if Trump pulls it off as he can, if he's resolute now and clear-minded and Witkoff does his work, because he'll be the one to do it, it looks like, and he does his work, then this won't be talked about or complained about. This will... pass into history is just another one of those blunders.

I mean, we don't talk about the 2003 Iraq war, the 20 years waste in Afghanistan or so many, Libya, so many completely ridiculous projects that America has been involved in for no conceivable reason other than these weird game of risk ideas. We got to own that space on the board. Turns out, the world and that game board are rather different.

But if Trump pulls this off, what he needs, I think, and what we need to understand is the American scene It ain't great in general. The budget deficit is enormous. The fragility of society is actually quite significant. There is lots of depression, lots of violence, lots of problems that haven't been addressed for 30 years. Big, big budget deficit. Huge. can't be solved.

With all due respect to Elon, the budget deficit has very little to do with the size of the civil service. That's not where the budget deficit comes from. That's not where the spending comes from. Spending comes from 750 overseas military bases, from wars, from massive outlays, of course, on pensions, on health care, on interest payments, on the debt, and so forth. So War derails all of that.

We're not with a buffer. We're not where the US dollar is king forever. It's almost the opposite, by the way, although it's not so clear to people. But ten years from now, it's gonna be completely different international monetary scene from the one that we have now. Because the renminbi is gonna play a completely different role.

And the way that international settlements will be done is completely different. You can if you watch like I do, you see all of the stitching together of a new system taking shape. So the U.S. does not have this great room for maneuver and it's all a game and we can do this and we can do that. The president needs to be really accurate right now, really accurate and understand that.
