We still got Sam Faddis with us.

Sam, I'm curious your thoughts.

There's been a lot of reporting over the last few days about

about the changes that Director Gabbard is making with regard to intel sharing on Ukraine.

Can you walk us through the developments there?

And do you think this is sort of a representation of how there are a lot of factions, obviously globally, but even domestically here, that are trying to continue this war and using sort of intel or whatever it may be to just sort of, you know, it's easier to call out a lie, right?

If you can see what's going on, like you said, it's sort of bizarre that we would be giving them access to what would likely be classified discussions between President Trump and another organization.

world leader, but do you think this is now sort of being used as another, you know, cry me a river, you know, media crying wolf example that we're somehow, you know, becoming pro-Russia and we're soft on Russia and we're not sharing information, just another kind of iteration of that?

Sam Faddis, as always, thank you so much for joining us.

If people want to follow you, read and magazine, all that stuff, where can they go to do that before you're back on?

Thank you, sir, for joining us.

I appreciate it.

And like I always bring up, too, so many of these huge, what, several billion dollar, hundred billion dollar contracts that we've seen go to Ukraine, itemized on the USA Spending website as primarily to the big defense contractors, Boeing, Raytheon, take your pick, Lockheed.

They're all authorized through the year 2032 in some cases.

There's dozens of contracts that are active through the late 2020s.

But

Or rather, 2033, that's not even affecting just this presidential cycle.

That's the one after in the campaign season of the one after that.

It's absolutely ridiculous if you want to talk about what the deep state of the permanent political class exists, or I guess, as we called it during the first impeachment, the steady state, the idea that there is a consensus-driven group of people involved.

who push that Washington consensus of foreign policy.
