This is the Friends of History Debating Society. I am Gaius and Germanicus is here. We have our cup of wine.

It's very cold. It's icy cold. The centurions and their families have gone home. We hope,

we're hoping for more theater tonight. The pandemic's gone. But there's been no announcement all week because we've had such

wretched weather. It's a presumption there won't make much of an audience, and our theaters

must make money. We're not Rome, giving money away.

Germanicus and I have a great deal to discuss because of the events of these last days.

We now have a little clarity about the 21st century.

Jimannicus, a very good evening to you, as I understand it right now. The European leadership,

and that would begin with Mr. McCrone and include Schultz of Germany, I did not see, well, I didn't see all the names that are coming.

Certainly, Starrmer will be there from Britain.

Georgia Maloney is not a name I saw, but there's Wilders from Netherlands, and there are Gonzalez,

well, let's just say the European leadership will meet in Paris in what they

call an emergency meeting.

And the topic is the presentation by the Vice President, Mr. Vance, at the Munich Security

Conference that took the last three days, 14, 15, and 16.

And the speech by Mr. Vance, which I recommend to everyone,

identified Germany and Britain in particular, and Scotland too, as suppressing free speech,

as being unacceptable to Americans.

The response from the audience was that Mr. Vance is unacceptable,

and the Trump administration is unacceptable,

and we came here to hear your plan about getting us out of trouble in Ukraine,

and instead you're interfering in our election.
