So it's XY, but functionally they look like females.

For sure. I appreciate it.

Andrew, I really appreciate that. It is a lot of work. It's a kind of thing that I said I wanted to do for years. It took me a lot of time to finally kind of get my butt and start moving towards the finish line there. But once it started, it was kind of just free flowing. It was a lot of fun to write this book. And God willing, Andrew, it's going to be successful.

It's actually number three on Amazon.com right now for literally all the books. So it's off to a very strong start, actually. So we'll see where it is at this time next week or so, but we're off to a great start.

All right. So let me let me take the foreign policy part first, and then we'll kind of go back to the latter part there. So the foreign policy parts and I'm really happy that we're talking here on the show because, you know, Charlie's amazing audience is exactly who I want to understand this message here. We're talking about foreign policy realism. I like you, Andrew.

I'm a MAGA America First foreign policy realist. I have been criticizing neoconservatives for longer than I think most people have even known what the word neoconservative means here. I am a genuine national interest foreign policy realist who views every single foreign policy issue around the world through a essentially fairly singular lens.

as to whether or not involvement in this sphere redounds to the American national interest. I actually have an entire chapter in this book making the MAGA America First foreign policy realist case for close-knit U.S.-Israel relations. Frankly, it's not a particularly difficult case to make because Donald Trump literally did it over the entire course of his first term, his entire first term.

was just one grand extensive example as to the realist MAGA America First case for U.S.-Israel relations. The basic case, Andrew, looks something like this. If you're an America First person, if you think that America has dwindling resources on the national stage there, then you have to understand that our number one threat this century actually comes from China. That should be fairly clear.

America's civilizational challenge in the 21st century comes from the Chinese Communist Party. And accordingly, we absolutely do have to reprioritize resources towards the Indo-Pacific. The relevant question, Andrew, is... How do we do that while simultaneously safeguarding our interests in the region?

You saw Donald Trump just this weekend, actually, in his lengthy post on Truth Social, talk about, for instance, the importance of the Red Sea, which is a core international waterway here. And he says that America should start bombing the crap basically out of the Houthis there. I'm happy he's doing that.
