A semi-seas-fire deal in Ukraine.

And what, if anything, did we learn from the release of the new JFK assassination documents

plus the war on Tesla?

We'll discuss all this more on this historic live audience edition of the editors.

I'm Rich Lowry.

I don't know whether our mics are picking that up, but the demonstrations out in the audience,

people are standing on their chairs, waving their napkins.

I'm Rich Larry, and I'm joined as always, or at least some of the time, by the right, honorable, Charles C.W. Cook, Noah, Noah Rothman.

Let me do Noah again, because he didn't get his applause he deserves. He doesn't have a nickname, so he needs more applause than the others.

Noah, Noah Rothman.

The grill master, Phil Klein. And the notorious MBD, Michael Brendan Doherty.

So MBD, we'll start with you.

We are recording live at our 2025 Ideas Summit here, about 9 o'clock at night.

Hold on.

I just, my Kremlin ear piece isn't focusing from this ballroom.

You know, there are a lot of reasons why Russia would renege or would brush aside or undermine this in their current position. But any agreement to slowing down the violence, I think,

is good. I think Donald Trump is moving, and he's promised

that we would do this on day one, but it looks like this is going to be a snail's pace, right?
