It's upsetting to go 20 years of hearing stories of veterans, almost all of whom appear to have PTSD in some way, the combat ones, the struggles they have. I mean, I was with a veteran who lost friends in Afghanistan the day that Biden pulled out, which was a disgrace. So America is tired now. We love Europe. We believe in Europe, but they're testing our patience.

And I think we finally have an administration that can communicate the depth of our concern around their push towards censorship. And they're really they pioneered it. They developed it. A lot of it was, you know, we've certainly done our part to bring it there. But anyway. Western Europe is currently the greatest threat to free speech in the West.

And I think they need to understand that that's a big problem when it comes to U.S.-European relations.

That's right. Well, of course, it's happening at a moment when I think Europe has started to at least comprehend just how behind it is on technology. The speech that J.D. Vance gave a couple of days ago was on AI, at least ostensibly on AI, and how the framing that they want, the Trump administration wants, is of technology.

AI as possibility, as potential, as innovation, not as apocalypse, repression, you know, the sort of the European approach to try to gain control over the technology. Yeah, good luck. Yeah. I mean, so, look, you know, America is, I mean, sounds so corny, but I mean, America's back in just a big way.

I mean, you've just got a character there in the White House that is, they are moving faster than anybody. I mean, I was just there talking to folks, you know, it was... various places, and everybody's surprised at how fast they're moving. And of course, Elon has accelerated that, the number of things that are happening.

The thing that we were ostensibly going to talk about today, for example, not to, we don't have to go to it right away, but just the whole reason there's a debate in the United States right now about the United States Agency for International Development, USAID, is simply because Elon was seeking to basically gain access to the
