Well, Charlie, you and I have had discussions about Ukraine funding, and I have been on the side of saying, you know, we have an obligation to Ukraine because of the Budapest memorandum signed in 1994. The problem is that you don't bite the hand that feeds you. And it's very frustrating to me when you start having the president, Zelensky, who has to have us, disrespect the president

and the vice president in that manner. There's no excuse for it. And at this point, it's not our issue. It is the president's position, President Trump's position to end the fighting. When that takes place, President Zelensky, who has to have us, has to listen because we're tired of funding. The taxpayers are tired of funding. It's been going on long enough. There's no end in sight.

There's no win for Ukraine here. How do you get out and stop the killing, which is what President Trump has made very clear in saying that he's not ready to negotiate? That's... At that point, President Trump did exactly what he needed to do, kick him out and say, come back when you're ready for peace.

You know, it's not for me to say that he should resign or not. I think that's for the people of Ukraine and Ukrainians to make that decision. I don't want to get the position of what happened during the Arab Spring to where Secretary Clinton was making a decision who's going to rule what country. That's been a disaster ever since.

What I want to do is keep the taxpayer dollars going to what President Trump wants to spend them for President Trump wants to end the killing. I think we have a very strong position that we should be able to recoup the money, the billions of dollars we spent by negotiating the mineral deal.

If you remember, Charlie, you and I spoke about this mineral deal because Lacey Graham, myself, Josh Gunheimer all negotiated that deal, the national security deal, back almost a year ago. that allowed us to have rights to minerals. And part of the funding that we did a year ago, we had put in there that we have first rights for refusal to the minerals.

Now, keep in mind, this is the third largest mineral deposit in the world that we know of. We think that once we get in there, It's going, because right now we know it's valued at almost $3 trillion. We think once we get in there and we actually are having U.S. mining companies using today's technology, we feel like once we get in there, it may be the world's largest deposit.
