	It's 800-941-SEAN.
	If you want to be a part of the program, we are in the D.C. swamp.
	We are in the sewer.
	And we will be on immediately following President Trump and his State of the Union address tonight.
	We've got a great lineup of guests.
	We'll tell you more about that coming up.
	What we are expecting tonight are a lot of shenanigans from a lot of Democrats.
	And uh among them we expect signs with anti-Trump, anti-Musk, anti-Doge messages, just like if you might recall, Congresswoman Taleb held up a sign when the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, uh gave a speech to a joint session of Congress, and you know, she's that sign said war criminal.
	They are planning to bring eggs or empty egg cartons to highlight how inflation is driving the prices of eggs up.
	That would actually be called avium flu.
	That is driving up egg prices.
	But the fact that they finally, after four years of denying the truth and the reality that the average American was paying twelve thousand dollars more annually for what they were paying under Donald Trump, is maybe it's progress.
	Anyway, here to sort it out all out.
	He's one of our favorite people in the U.S. Congress, if not the favorite, uh Jim Jordan, great state of Ohio, Bug Guy State.
	How are you, sir?
	I'm fine, Sean.
	Uh well summarized the Democrats are gonna do the typical Democrat stuff, it sounds like tonight.
	Um by the way, you did a great job with uh I I caught uh some of the your interview of the vice president.
	I thought really good.
	Really good, uh really good job, and JD was great as always.
	You know, you were the first really to tell me that this guy's a star, and uh how right you've been.
	I mean, he's done a great job as vice president, and I think he's really risen to the occasion.
	Um well, let's go to the the antics that will take place in there tonight.
	Now, I gotta imagine, I think I know Donald Trump pretty well.
	I know you know him pretty well.
	I would imagine probably Donald Trump's up for the challenge, and I'd I think he will he will probably give as good as he gets.
	Um, and they're probably not gonna like any of it.
	Yeah, he's always up.
	He always does a great job with uh I I still remember his last date of the union when uh the first lady gave the Medal of Freedom to Rosh and the other guest he had in the in the uh in the in the guest area at the uh gallery there, and his speech was phenomenal.
	It was so good, and he always does a great job.
	I'm sure he'll do a great job tonight.
	But you know, that democrats can do all the things they want to do.
	It doesn't change the fact that President Trump's doing what he said he was gonna do.
	I mean, he's already secured the border.
	We're already moved we're I mean so much different than what we had under Joe Biden.
	He's doing that.
	He's the doge is is identifying all the stupid spending that uh that's that goes on in the federal government.
	And then of course he's working in in the foreign policy area, uh trying to bring peace to uh to to Ukraine and this this war.
	So uh I mean, you know, I I would say we make this job too complicated.
	What'd you tell the voters you were gonna do?
	If you get elected, do what you said.
	President Trump's doing that.
	So I assume he'll talk about all that, the success he's had in six short weeks, and then of course, his vision for the rest of this uh of his presidency.
	So I I I I'm I'm convinced it'll be great as always.
	Um, but the Democrats will be Democrats as always.
	I don't want to read the whole post because it takes too long.
	Uh I would like, but Zelensky writes on X. No I would like to reiterate Ukraine's commitment to peace.
	None of us wants an endless war.
	Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer.
	Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians.
	My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump's strong leadership to get a peace that lasts.
	We're ready to work fast to end the war.
	And this is the day after he said he thinks it's going to go on for a very long time.
	And he says, and the stages the first stages could be the release of prisoners and truce in the sky, ban on missiles, long-range drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure, and a truce in the sea immediately if Russia will do the same.
	Then we want to move very fast through all the next stages and to work with the U.S. to agree to a strong final deal.
	We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence.
	And we remember the moment when things changed when President Trump provided Ukraine with javelins.
	are grateful for this.
	Our meeting in Washington at the White House on Friday did not go the way it was supposed to be.
	It is regrettable that it happened this way.
	It is time to make things right.
	We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive regarding the agreement on minerals and security.
	Ukraine is ready to sign it at any time and in any convenient format.
	We see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope it will work effectively.
	That sounds like a complete capitulation to me.
	Yeah, it sounds like what he should have said on last Friday instead of four days later.
	So, look, let's hope that's the case, and then as the Secretary of State said over the weekend that this thing can get back on track, what I do know is President Trump has been, as J.D. said, as the Vice President said, he's been the one world leader who's trying to actually stop the fighting, stop the killing, and get to peace, and has been willing to go out there and make it happen.
	And then of course we had what took place uh Friday uh in the Oval Office.
	The other thing that I think is important is we should never forget the context here.
	No one's been able to tell me over the last three years that this war has gone on, and all that and the hundreds of billions of dollars of American money that's went there.
	No one's ever been able to tell me what the overall objective is.
	Is it to drive Russia out of the eastern Ukraine region, the Donbas region, and others?
	Is it to drive them out of Crimea, which they've had for eleven years, which they took under Obama, and which Obama said, Oh, we're gonna give you blankets and MREs, and President Trump got in office and said, No, we'll give you javelin business.
	I mean, so what what's been the what what's the objective?
	How does this thing how does it end?
	And President Trump has finally said, after three years, hundreds of billions of dollars, let's get to the negotiating table and let's end this thing.
	Let's get back to saving lives and and getting to peace.
	And and then he gets criticized by very by everyone on the left uh and all the Democrats for for for stepping forward and actually doing something.
	So um that's the frustrating part to me, because no one was ever to able to you know, th this whole thing, when you get involved in foreign uh activities, you better know what the goal is and then when you achieve it, how you exit.
	And we've never had that explain to us in the three years that the American taxpayers been financing it.
	So I see the Democrat now the gr Democratic Party now is they seem to want to support endless wars and use American taxpayer dollars, even though we spend hundreds of billions of dollars.
	They seem, I mean, we saw the bill to ban biological males from women's sports was blocked by uh Senate Democrats, and that didn't reach the necessary sixty vote threshold to advance.
	Uh I find that pretty amazing.
	And the bill failed by this key procedural hurdle by a vote of fifty one forty-five, pretty much along party lines.
	And if they want to be the party that defends men's right to to be in women's sports, if they want to be the party of endless wars and the party that puts the rights of illegals over the safety of Americans, and the party that is gonna stand up and fight uh cutting waste, fraud, abuse, and corruption, which they're also doing and claiming it's unconstitutional.
	Um I'm okay with all of that because I don't think they'll win another election with that agenda.
	Sarah Huggins Anders said it best.
	The divide in America today is normal versus crazy.
	And the left that controls the Democrat Party has adopted every crazy policy that you kind of stole that from Newt.
	I think Newt is the first one to have said it.
	I wish I'd thought of it myself, though.
	So I everyone should take credit for it.
	Yeah, no, new's another smart guy, but you can get on the list like you did.
	It's crazy to defund the police, it's crazy not to have a border.
	It's crazy let men compete against women in sports, and you just can keep going.
	It's crazy to have uh a war go on forever and ever and ever when we don't know what the objective is and how we measure how we get to the objective.
	So I mean you can just keep it my favorite was son, it's crazy to let a Chinese five balloon fly across the country and then shoot it down.
	There's no way to have done that.
	He just shot it down before it went across the country.
	So that is the divide, and if they want to continue to be the party that embraces crazy policies, we'll be the party that says we're gonna be for common sense.
	And common sense tells you that when when Elon Musk identifies that American tax dollars are going to Baghdad so that 70 street can be on Baghdad television and Iraqi television, that's stupid.
	But that's only 40 million dollars, Congressman.
	I mean, what's a mere forty million dollars for the average American, and I assume the average American in Ohio that makes sixty-six thousand dollars a year.
	Yeah.
	So it's so I mean, look, I get the privilege of representing families in West Central and North Central Ohio.
	Good people.
	And part of my job is to say when we're spending money on stupid things, we should end that.
	Elon Musk is giving a new intensity and focus to that.
	There's been efforts in the past to identify citizens against government waste, Grace Commission, all these things, but there's never been the intensity and the focus, and there's never been a president who campaigned on it, told us it was going to be called DOS, told us Elon Musk was going to head up the uh the whole uh operation, and now it's imp now they're implementing it and they're identifying this up.
	The intensity of it, the focus of it is what's got the left so concerned because it actually might make a difference this time.
	And um that's what our constituents that I get the privilege of representing want exactly uh to happen.
	Well, I agree.
	Let me go to Pam Bondi, Cash Patel.
	Uh you put out an ex post that says Merrick Garland, Chris Ray weaponized the DOJ and the FBI, Pam Bondy and Cash Patello cleaning it up.
	Uh now, we have this whole controversy and it went very, very viral on the internet.
	And uh people felt betrayed over the release of the Epstein files.
	Uh I interviewed Pam Bondy last night, and I am now I'm now well versed in what happened.
	She did not believe she was given the the proper amount of files.
	She went back again and again and again and was told, nope, that's all we got, nope, that's all we got.
	A whistleblower tipped her off before twenty-four hours, less than twenty-four hours before the release of quote wh why she called it phase one of the files and said, No, there are thousands and thousands of pages at the I guess it was in the New York field office.
	And the uh and now though they have finally been delivered, and she explained on TV that Cash Patel is going through it.
	They're gonna take out the names of of any potential victims that are in there or anything that might be intelligence related.
	And short of that, they uh they she is promising to release all of it, like they released the MLK files and the JFK files and the RFK files.
	And I just feel like she's three weeks on the job, and everybody wants to just jump, you know, all over all she was deceived.
	She was lied to.
	Is that by the way, isn't that against the law?
	Yeah, no kidding.
	No kidding, and if that's the case, then uh maybe maybe the Justice Department's gonna look into that as well.
	Uh look, I I'm like you, I have this, I have total confidence in Attorney General Bondi.
	I have total confidence in an FBI director of Patel.
	I I think I I have total confidence in the deputy attorney general who's yet to be confirmed, uh, Todd Blanch.
	I think they're gonna do a great job.
	Uh and look, if this is what she found, God bless her.
	Uh I we can't get all this information.
	I mean, we we sent seven subpoenas to Cash Patel last week because there's certain information they can't give us without a subpoena.
	And so we've asked for information too.
	All those all those investigations that that you and I have talked about over the years.
	Uh the idea that the m the Garland Justice Department was gonna look at moms and dads at school board meetings and investigate them, the the pro-life Catholics called extremist memorandum that came from the FBI's Richmond field office.
	The uh the host of things we've talked about that whistleblowers came and gave us information on and we investigated.
	We we felt like all along we weren't getting all the information, much like Attorney General Pam Bondi has said about this issue.
	So we want all that information because we think the American people, the folks that I get the privilege of representing, the folks you talk to every day on the radio, the millions you see every you talk to every night on your show, we think they deserve answers to questions that they have.
	And so um and and more importantly, we think when you do that, you lessen the chance that this stuff ever happens in the future.
	So I have the utmost confidence in them, and we're gonna get that information.
	Um we subpoena it from them and we're gonna make sure the American people have it.
	I just want to make sure that we restore these institutions.
	Now, I still think that we need to get to the bottom of the Russia hoax and Pfizer abuse and fifty one former Intel officials and the Biden family syndicate.
	And I think that's just legitimate investigation.
	And uh I would like to see what they knew when they knew it, and if some people did not abide by the rule of law, I want to I I want to know about it.
	Yeah, no, I I I agree.
	And I think hey, here's one.
	Uh and uh we we've talked about this one too, Sean.
	There were 26 confidential human sources here at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021.
	Seventeen went across the line in the restricted space, which they were not authorized to do.
	None of them were charged with the crime.
	Four went into the Capitol.
	How interesting.
	We only found out when Chris Ray was walking out the door because he knew it would be discovered.
	Yes, after after the election, they give this report to us.
	So I kind of like to know all the all the details about what really happened there.
	I kind of like to know how much of American tax money was used to pay these people as confidential human sources who then did it who violated the law and were not charged and we're there today.
	I I think there's a hundred things we'd like to know.
	So we're gonna get into that too.
	Is it a confidential human source a spy for the government?
	Yeah, fancy name for spy, exactly right.
	And what about the 574 riots in the summer of 2020?
	Uh Liz Cheney, Adam Kinziger.
	Oh, by the way, w what happened to the J6 files?
	Why did they get these uh preemptive pardons?
	Uh why didn't we why didn't we use all the video tape to find all the people that were murdering and pelting bricks, rocks, bottles, and injuring thousands of cops and causing billions of property damage?
	Where's those hearings?
	What happened to those?
	And Kamala Harris saying they're not gonna stop, shouldn't stop, and we're not gonna stop.
	Yeah.
	Or sounds like insurrection and and you know, to me.
	How about the video tape that existed of the guy who planted the pipe bombs, and we still don't know who that individual is.
	How did that happen?
	You know, I always had the cocaine get in the White House, uh, Congressman.
	Yeah.
	That we can we can we'll look like like we're playing tag here.
	Yeah, that's exactly.
	The F guy can never tell us, you know, who planted the pipe bombs.
	They can't tell us who leaked the job's opinion that resulted in an assassination attempts on Justice Kavanaugh, and as you point out, they can't tell us who put cocaine at the White House.
	But oh, if you're a pro-life Catholic, we think you're an extremist, and we might have to investigate you.
	If you're a mom or a dad showing up to to stand up for your kids' education at a school board meeting, we might have to investigate you.
	Like, this is how stupid it got.
	And this is the this is what President Trump is changing, and I have the the full confidence in Penn Bonnie and Cash Patel to make sure our Justice Department is focused on equal treatment under the law and not political prosecution.
	We appreciate you, Congressman Jim Jordan, great state of Ohio.
	We'll be uh we'll be watching for your reactions when you're on TV tonight.
	Anyway, we uh we'll also see you tonight as well.
	Thank you, sir.
	Thank you.
	800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
	Hey there.
	I'm Mary Catherine How and I'm Carol Markowitz.
	We've been in political media for a long time.
	Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
	That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
	We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
	We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
	So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sas.
	You're our kind of people.
	Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
	I'm Ben Ferguson.
	And I'm Ted Cruz.
	Three times a week we do our podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.
	Nationwide, we have millions of listeners.
	Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we break down the news and bring you behind the scenes inside the White House, inside the Senate, inside the United States Supreme Court.
	And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else.
	We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
	So Dell a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
	Before we get back to our phones, so we now have a whopping oh 20 some odd.
	I don't know what the final tally is at this moment.
	Democratic senators uploading videos of themselves, reading the same identical cringy script bashing Trump and Musk.
	the same thing i don't know if they didn't think they'd get caught i have no idea i mean but they're all reading the same script As if this is uh an organic moment by each and every one.
	It's not.
	Now, Rush used to talk about seminar callers to talk radio shows.
	We have seen an uptick in callers that I promise you are scripted and on message.
	What about Doge?
	And what about my friend the veteran who lost their job?
	Which, by the way, there are people losing their jobs, and my heart does go out to them.
	But these are jobs that nobody should have been hired for in the first place.
	I have a bigger problem with that.
	But the good news is there will be huge opportunities.
	We have this Taiwan uh chip company now gonna spend a hundred billion dollars, 500 billion by Apple, Nissan, Honda, plans to build plants in Mexico, have now decided to move them to the U.S. thanks to Donald Trump.
	You know, I know the stock market is skittish as it is, which is fine with me.
	And I've always said the stock market's not my barometer of the economy.
	We have other economic news indicating that just Trump's presence, it's not his economy yet, is causing inflation to be driven down, but it's gonna take time.
	And that's why Republicans need to get moving on that.
	But there are tw there are over 20 senators, you know, twenty some odd senators now.
	It's cringy, it's bizarre, and it's weird.
	Now, for a brief second, because you will understand why when I play it.
	I'm going to play the twenty-two Democratic Senate ver senator version, and you can't understand a word.
	So you'll know why I'm only playing it for a second.
	This is what the 22 sound like.
	When I went, I will immediately bring prices down starting on day one.
	All right.
	You can't hear them.
	So we reduced it to five.
	Here's what five Democratic senators sound like.
	When I win, I will immediately bring prices down starting on day one.
	Donald Trump's president's prices are not down.
	up inflation is getting worse Meanwhile, meanwhile, Donald Trump is a good thing.
	They say the exact same thing.
	You caught glimpses of it.
	I know it's not maybe the best radio sounding.
	Just in case.
	Oh, that was pleasant.
	What?
	Just so people know, they can go to Hannity.com and watch it.
	And they can watch it, and they can go to your ex.
	That's correct.
	My ex-account.
	I have an ex account.
	And we posted it up just so you can see all the idiots.
	I don't have access to my ex-account.
	You're welcome.
	I'm not.
	You're not getting it back.
	I know certain individuals want you to have it back.
	Correct.
	Rumor on the street.
	Correct.
	There are people that miss my what were then at the time classic.
	Spicy Twitter fights.
	No, well, I had Twitter fights with the likes of Jimmy Kimmel.
	Well, it's not Twitter anymore.
	It's acts.
	That's how the let not your heart be troubled Twitter brigade started.
	I know they were worried about you.
	They started praying.
	Yeah.
	They're like, oh, dear Jesus, help them.
	It's 3 a.m.
	He's at it again.
	Yeah, no, they were very helpful because I couldn't figure out how to use it properly.
	And um even sweet babies like, don't do it, Sean.
	Don't do it.
	Well, he knows that I mean give me something to do when I'm wide awake at three.
	Sweet baby, what do you think?
	Well, you want me to you have a choice.
	It's either going to be me sending you articles or talking on rapid radios.com and waking you up.
	It's one or the other.
	He just told me I have to do it, not you.
	He took my side.
	It's actually a rare moment.
	A2 Brute.
	Seriously.
	Really?
	Uh anyway, 800-941 Sean.
	By the way, the IRS whistleblowers who exposed Hunter Biden's tax crimes, they're going to be at the speech tonight.
	That's pretty interesting.
	Uh Trump guessed that tonight's State of the Union address will include Lake and Riley's mother and sister and the family of Corey Compertory, uh, if you recall, uh, and Helen and Allison and Kaylee, the widow and daughters of Corey Computori, a firefighter shot and killed during the attempted assassination of Trump, are going to be among the first lady's guests tonight.
	Multiple other guests representing Trump's border security policies.
	Our friend Alexis Nung Nungarry, the mother of Jocelyn Nungarry, that 12-year-old girl murdered in Texas, uh, is going to be there.
	Uh Alison and Lauren Phillips, the mother and sister of Lake and Riley will be in attendance.
	It's going to be a star-studded event of really great Americans that have suffered greatly that Democrats ignore.
	And they're going to be playing games and walking out and having their little temperatant.
	Anyway, 800-941-SHAWN if you want to be a part of the program.
	Let's see.
	Is it Gerald in Missouri?
	Gerald, how are you?
	Glad you called.
	I'm doing pretty well.
	Hey, just um an observation.
	Um the other day when Velensky came and visited the White House and the hundred billion dollars or more that he has and he cannot account for.
	Can't Elon Musk and Doge just go say you're fired and get rid of him.
	I mean, for efficiency purposes.
	You're talking about Zelensky.
	No, I um I made a prediction after Friday that Zelency's going to be back because he's gonna have no choice.
	Today, and I've read it twice, I won't read it a third time.
	He posted a full complete capitulation uh an apology on X and is begging to come back.
	And I think if he is serious about wanting peace this time, I believe the door, and and this came through with President Trump and his own words, but also in the words of Vice President Vance, and we'll play that interview later in the program today.
	And that very very clearly the door is open.
	But if he only if he's serious.
	Now the post seems serious.
	The post seem basically to say whatever you want, President Trump, we know we can't do it without you.
	And we were wrong.
	And I and uh we regret what happened.
	So I mean, that's that's pretty much every indication we need that he's going to come back.
	And he said he'll sign the mineral deal anytime he wants and work towards a lasting peace.
	Uh total 180 from this weekend and yesterday when he said this war will go on and on and on for a long time to come.
	So Donald Trump, you know, the Trump effect.
	And by the way, we we want I want him to come back.
	I want this deal done.
	I want peace in Europe.
	I want death and destruction to end.
	I really do.
	Because there won't be a country left.
	And Donald Trump was right to force the peace.
	Anyway, my friend, appreciate your call.
	Thank you for being with us.
	Quick break, right back.
	We'll continue.
	More of your calls as we continue from Washington, D.C. Don't forget Hannity tonight, right after the State of the Union Address.
	We got a great lineup and uh much more as we continue from Washington, straight ahead.
	Up next, our final roundup and information overload hours.
	All right, back to our busy phones.
	Uh let's say hello to Mario in New Jersey.
	What's up, Mario?
	How are you?
	Hey, Sean, how are you?
	I'm actually leaving for Florida tomorrow.
	I'm going to my home in Naples.
	Now, are you a Florida resident or are you a New Joyce resident?
	Uh no, no.
	I'm a Florida resident.
	I have ten grandchildren in New Jersey.
	So you just up visiting.
	Yeah, yeah.
	We have a home up here, but we go back and forth.
	Now, has as the New Joycey IRS come after you like repeatedly, like New York goes after people?
	No, no, because you know what, I'm still paying my business is in New Jersey, so I'm still paying taxes in New Jersey.
	Can't do anything about that.
	My business is not in New Jersey.
	Uh no.
	I originate my programs out of uh studios that are, you know, for example, the Fox Florida studio, and they have a bureau in Florida, so I work for them.
	I work, you know, I'm partners in my radio program uh with iHeart and I partner and they have studios in Florida as well.
	As a matter of fact, I'm in a DC iHeart Studio today.
	So I I I think that's great, but I have ten really great employees, and I don't want to hurt them because I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for them.
	so you know what?
	Keeping the business in New Jersey to benefit my staff, I'm okay with that.
	Well, there I have I have you know people that work for me all over the country, to be honest with you.
	I mean I I I don't need my employees around me.
	They're actually better off without me, to be honest.
	I don't know.
	I think I think you do a much better show when we're face to face, don't you think?
	No.
	Um Linda, by the way, lives in Pennsylvania.
	Wow, that was really short.
	Yeah, he was like, no, absolutely not get away from me.
	Uh Linda lives in Pennsylvania.
	I do.
	And you know, she can do her work from there, and uh she often does.
	But she's in DC with Blair and Sweet Baby James, and here we are.
	Um We haven't even we haven't even hung out.
	I'm like E on the show.
	Everybody in the I want everybody in the office.
	But anyway, I want to point Sean about guilt by association.
	I mean, we've been listening to the Democrats complain about how Trump is a Russian asset.
	And I personally feel the Democrats fear Trump.
	And the reason they fear him is because the first term that he was in, he was really kind of like being dealing with all the nonsense they were throwing at him.
	But now it seems like he was able to set this thing up through Mar a Lago that he's got going.
	I personally think since 1991, when Ukraine got its independence, it's been run by oligarchs.
	And I think um Zelensky's nothing more than a puppet.
	He's corrupt.
	As a matter of fact, in 2021, it was a tran international transparency report that said that Ukraine was the second most corrupt country in the world.
	So when I see Democrats aligning themselves, as well as the media, aligning themselves with this corruption, it only says to me that they're as corrupt as the person that they're defending.
	And look, Sean, you know, money laundering today has become a sport, not only in a Democratic Party.
	I mean, I hope Cash Patel is able and Pam Bondi's able to reveal it.
	But the money laundering that's going on, I mean, we saw it with with Vice President Biden and his son.
	That was money laundering, Sean.
	No no matter which way you look at it, and no matter how they defend it, him being on Barisma, Joe Biden going over there, withholding funds from the country, and his to take a prosecutor away from an investigation that's investigating the board that the company of the board that his son sits on, and this kid's getting paid millions of dollars.
	It's money laundering.
	And for people to say, I stand with Ukraine, which I feel sorry for the innocent people there.
	But you know what, Sean, there's misery around the whole world and America, we have to start taking care of our own people.
	We have we're thirty six trillion in debt.
	And you know, I'm in We we can't afford hundreds of billions of dollars.
	And and it's not good for Europe, it's not good for Ukraine, there's not gonna be a country left.
	It's i i Donald Trump, if he can pull this off, is going to it's going to be in the best interest of Ukraine, Europe, and the world.
	And he has the right motivation and the right goal, and he's the right person, probably the only person right now on the world stage to pull it off.
	I agree completely.
	And I do feel bad for the Ukrainian people.
	I do.
	Yeah, real quick, I gotta go.
	Marco Marco Rubio said it great.
	If Trump gets this done, he should get the Nobel Peace Prize.
	Yeah, don't hold your breath.
	You know, that's it's sort of like when is Maggie Haberman and the Washington Post and the New York Times gonna give back their Pulitzers.
	Uh I think Greg Jarrett, John Solomon, Sarah Carter, uh, and Catherine Heridge are ensemble cast.
	I'd give it to them.
	They did a lot of hard work.
	And notice I kept myself off the list, Linda.
	That'd be very vain.
