Not only I'll give you an anecdote. I know some dyed in the wool, hardcore Republicans who were fine with Trump. When he picked Vance as a running mate, I got calls, vote for Biden, vote for Biden, vote for Biden. Why? It's like, oh, his staff, particularly James Braid, his legislative director, like these guys are like crazy, like beyond Cato Institute, libertarian isolationists.

They think sanctions on Iran are escalatory. We can't get anything done with these people, right? So Vance they saw as the real ideal. So now he sends J.D. Vance out after Hegseth steps on his own crank and Vance goes – We might go to war with Russia if they don't do what we want. Well, hang on a minute. You were the guy who said, I don't care what happens to Ukraine.

So you wanted me to do criminology on the Russian side. If I do criminology on the American side, I think they sent this guy to say this so they can kind of appear tough to a domestic audience. But the Russians really understand that J.D. Vance doesn't believe a word of what he's saying. Right. So this is all just face saving for Trump.

The shafts of light here are Ukraine does get a say in its own future and fortune, right? Everybody who asked me about, well, what's their sovereignty of the United States? Remember, according to the United States, Ukraine should not exist right now. Even under the Biden administration, they had three days.

You know, until Kiev was toast, two weeks until the entire country was conquered by the Russian army. And they fought back. They did what we told them they couldn't do. And they succeeded. So they're clever and they're innovative and they'll find ways to resist. Number two, if the Europeans really are serious about saving this country, which they should be, not everything Trump says is wrong.

When he says this affects Europe more than it affects us, he's right. It's on their doorstep. So the problem is they have to get their act together, particularly the Germans.
