And I'll tell you, I want to throw down a marker that I think is really important in terms of the negotiated settlement that occurs here. I think energy is front and center. We've talked a lot on this podcast about how Joe Biden caused the war in Ukraine, [and] his weakness, [and] the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, emboldened Putin and all of our enemies. And also how Biden's waiving the sanctions on Nord Stream 2 caused this war. I authored those sanctions. I wrote that legislation. Donald Trump signed those sanctions into law. (16:56–17:06)
