Senator Tim Scott

And anytime you allow immigration to confuse, to distort, and to try to have multiple missions, you always destroy the underlying country or alliance.

And that's what I thought he did really well, speaking about our shared values and talking

I'll just read you, Ben.

That's one of the reasons why I thought it was really important to reflect on why it was so successful.

I think the foundation matters.

But he also used a really important word, we.

He said we a lot.

Why?

Because when you were talking, if you're going to be critical of someone and you start with the conversation, we need to do these things better.

Looking at what we've done well, contrasting where they've departed from what we're doing really well.

That is a place where you can lean into the conversation.

If you're going to critique your friends, you've got to do so with love in your heart.

You've got to do so with this shared concept at the top of your mind.

He did a really good job of articulating the necessary change in direction that we need to see from our European allies, and at the same time, reinforcing the fact

that it has been a Western coalition that has transformed everything we know in modern history since World War II.

If we're going to have the kind of success we need to defend true, strong, universal values, it is better done as a team.

But if you're not going to play by the same rules, the same values, the same objectives,

The team will not abide.

And I thought he did a really good job of articulating that with the concept of we, which is very important.
