Michael Weiss

Not really a details-oriented guy to begin with, but even now, more kind of checked out.

The fact that he lost a fight with his own party for the first time, really, over the Epstein stuff, I think is interesting, because that directly impacts him.

I mean, I was going to say, and his credibility, but...

He has no credibility.

It's something he didn't want to see come out there, right?

Because it's embarrassing and compromising.

But he sort of rolled over on it.

And I mean, the question I've been asking is,

you have seen now, you know, Republicans kind of come out very nervously, and in some cases, such as Mitch McConnell, a little bit aggressively, to say, wait a minute, like, what are we doing here with the Russians?

Like, there should not be any kind of dismal peace agreement imposed on Ukraine, no territorial concessions.

So it seems like perhaps for the first time, the Republicans have realized, if we're going to go to the mattresses with Trump over a

dead pedophile sex offender.

Why wouldn't we pick a similar fight with him or stand our ground over the future?

I mean, 40 years, really 80 years of the post-war American security architecture in Europe, which is what's being litigated here, right?

It's not just about one country, Ukraine.

It's about NATO.

It's about the European Union.

And it's about whether or not we have, you know,

any commitment to our allies remaining.

And that's kind of what's at stake.
