NDI has not made those reforms at all. The Solidary Center has not made those reforms. And the issue is if you say, okay, IRI has reformed, the Republican branch of it has, but these other three are still rogue. Well, then what happens, the whole purpose of NED is that it's bipartisan and that it therefore sort of synchronizes U.S. policy, U.S.

foreign policy on both sides of the political aisle because everyone's on the take. So everyone has a reason to invade Ukraine. Everyone has a reason to topple Assad. But if only, if IRI reforms but NDI doesn't, What happens to Ned?

I think they do, actually. Good. As I mentioned, I'm reading Bill Burns' autobiography, The CIA Director for Biden.

Right, but I think there is recognition of that. And I think this is also why you see this, everything is alliance-based and why you see, for example, the Biden administration moving so deeply in tandem with the EU on all things and using EU regulatory action to box out populists. Like the Biden administration was totally behind the EU Digital Censorship Act that is going to become- Completely.

Yes. Literally, I think their internal documents from their White House Information Integrity Working Group planning the whole thing, as well as the USAID programs to beef up the terms of it so that it can be used against domestic enemies in America. But the fact is, is. I think this is part of the global alliance structure.

And I actually don't think that the Biden administration really moved unilaterally assuming unipolar power. Almost every major foreign policy decision would have the buy-in of the UK, France, the in-power parties in Germany and Canada. and paid very close attention to, and in fact, partnering with, in many ways, China. I mean, Trump blocked China from being able to import oil and gas from Iran.

Blocked that for four years, two months into Biden's term. China inked the Iran deal by $400 billion of oil and gas from Iran. It's just, so I don't think there is a kind of as much of the unipolar, there is some of it, definitely. Like you hear the John Bolton types, you know, talk about, you know, almost presupposing that we can just bully everyone around.
