 my opening statement where I said, what we need is more ran. He basically said, well, I'm not going to argue with Iran. I kind of agree with Iran. I mean, this is from John Fond. This is a big deal. But then we discussed kind of the state of politics in America, the state of the American right. And I'll just tell you, because I, you know, I'll tell you right up front what I found to be the best news of the night. The best news of the night was John Fond, who is an insider, an insider within Republican policy policies, who's known Donald Trump for 30 years, who is, who knows in depth kind of what is going on within the Republican Party and what the different machinations are and what the different programs are on, what the different personalities are. John Fond basically said that he's willing to bet anything that Donald Trump will not be the nominee of the Republican Party for president in 2024. Now just to hear John Fond say that was worth a trip to Vienna because he made my day, right? Donald Trump will not be a candidate on the Republican side for president in 2024 was fantastic news if fund is right. And there's every reason to believe he is right. Just because again, he knows these people, he knows the party, he knows the, the, the movies and shakers, he knows what's involved. I, you know, I don't know that he knows who's going to be the nominee. He, he had some positive things to say about the governor of Florida. And we argued a little bit about that, but, but generally he had positive things to say about the governor, the governor of Florida. And, you know, he basically made the argument that the Trumpism to a large extent is dead and that, yes, they are the national conservatives and there's the alt-right and there's the new right that the illiberal elements within the right. But he thought that they would not be dominant in the party, that they would not be a significant force and, and that, you know, I don't know that he's right. I don't know that he's right. I hope he's right. I hope the Santas is better than I think he is. I hope John fund is right about the Santas and he's, and he's actually, he says the Santas is like, is a Reagan, but who won't in a sense admit it. You know, he's Reagan in terms of his policies and in terms of views. He said, I said, well, why does he do all these status things? And he said, give me three things, three things that the scientists did that a statist and I gave him three things. So he said, ah, none of them are significant. I said, well, they're significant enough. If you want to know the three things was one, a law passed in Florida that basically penalized social media for banning politicians. Really? I mean, free speech. Of course, you should be able to ban politicians. Second, the law that said that cruise ships could not private businesses could not require people to be vaccinated in order to board a cruise ship. Private businesses, they should be able to do whatever they want. And then the third one was, was the third one, I gave a third one. And I actually had a fourth one, but what was the third one? Well, I mean, I don't think government should ban CRT. I think that if it's going to be banned, it should be banned by school districts. It's very dangerous when you get into the business of state government, state leadership at the state level that the government tells school districts what they can and cannot teach. So, you know, I will see if DeSantis is really, DeSantis did well with COVID. I give him credit for that. Not as well as I'd like him to, but well in COVID. So, you know, we'll see. But again, fun was positive. He did not want to debate philosophy. He basically granted, I ran the philosophical high ground. He granted me the philosophical high ground. And that was, that's pretty good when you get a senior person within the conservative movement, basically giving you that. Now, this one was recorded. So, you will be able to see it. And you will be able to see the exchange. The other good piece of good news from him, again, who knows if he's right, but if he's right, is that he believes within two to three weeks, the war in Ukraine will be over, that they'll cut some kind of a deal. And that Putin will realize that it's not in his interest to continue the war. And he'll cut some kind of deal. The Ukrainians will have to give up some stuff and the bloodshed will be over. Depending on what kind of deal they cut, that will determine whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. But it would be good if we could eliminate the bloodshed. Santas helped end COVID. The Santas didn't help end COVID. Give me a break. The Santas didn't regulate COVID like crazy. He didn't have lockdowns, at least not later, early on. Everybody did. And he didn't have the mask mandates and didn't have other mandates, but that didn't help end COVID. That just was the right policy to have. I appreciate it.
