Just cautioning and saying, hey, look, when it comes to it, American leadership is going to step up.

I love his look and I love the fact they were paying attention.

You notice they weren't rolling their eyes and.

and tipping their heads the way they do sometimes when someone comes to stage.

People were attentive.

People were forward.

They had their translators in their ears.

And they gave him applause a couple times and then gave a standing ovation.

It's not just a set of bad policies, but a malaise of hopelessness and complacency.

An alliance that we want is one that is not paralyzed into inaction by fear.

Fear of climate change, fear of war, fear of technology.

Instead, we want an alliance that boldly races into the future.

And the only fear we have is the fear of the shame of not leaving our nations prouder, stronger, and wealthier for our children.

An alliance ready to defend our people, to safeguard our interests, and to preserve the freedom of action that allows us to shape our own destiny.

not one that exists to operate a global welfare state and atone for the purported sins of past generations.

Go back again.

And what is the playbook?

Pick something inflammatory.
