And, of course, we have a great national security advisor with a real record of being realistic about the world. It's going to be interesting to see what they can accomplish in talking with the Russians and trying to get the Russians to understand that the war is over, period. I think that's Trump's position. This war is over. We're now down to details.

And I think we'll do what we have to to convince Putin that he can't keep fighting.

Well, I mean, first of all, very symbolic that they're not meeting in Europe. I mean, historically, you'd meet probably in Switzerland.

Think about it. They've gone to Saudi Arabia, which makes the Saudis happy. They have basically taken a step out of the old world, creating a new world. And remember that Saudi Arabia is the first place Trump went when he was elected and sworn in in 2017. So he does feel a deep affection for the crown prince, and he's trying to get him to sign a peace treaty with Israel.

So there's a lot of different things moving here. The sense I get from talking with the president over a number of years, he is increasingly aware, first of all, of the danger of Putin having about 6,000 nuclear weapons and that nuclear war would be horrifying on a scale that none of us can appreciate. Second, he really, I think, wants to be a peacemaker.

I believe personally that his being shot once and almost shot a second time with the sniper who they found at the golf course, I think that had a profound impact on him. And I was reminded, Chris and I did two movies, one about John Paul II going called Nine Days to Change the World. his going back to Poland in 1979, and the other called Ronald Reagan, Rendezvous of Destiny.

When Reagan and John Paul meet in 1982, they are comparing notes because they'd both been shot. And they said, why did God spare us? And they decided God had spared them to defeat the Soviet empire. And they agreed to make basically an alliance to defeat the Soviet empire.

Well, I think in a very similar way, Trump said, this is not hidden, he said in his inaugural address that he believes God spared him to make America great again. And I think that that is about as deep a feeling as you can have. And I think that he believes that part of that is not just here at home, but part of it is trying to make the world a safer and a better place, whether it's in Gaza or

or Ukraine, or a number of other places, you're going to see him, I think, have an impact. And he's begun to assemble a team, as you pointed out. When you have somebody as good as Marco Rubio as your Secretary of State, you have a negotiator as effective as Steve Witkoff, and you have a national security advisor as realistic and smart as Mike Waltz, you really have a pretty remarkable team.

So Trumpism, if you will, is both having an impact inside the U.S., but it's also having an impact all around the world.
