But now what I'm asking for is a piece of ice, cold and poorly located, that can play a vital role in world peace and world protection.

It's a very small ask compared to what we have given them for many, many decades.

It's the Rickshank podcast.

I'm James Lallax.

We have Charles C. DeB Cook and Stephen Hayward.

We're going to talk about Trump, term two, year one.

So let's have ourselves a podcast.

So again, I'm not popular with you now because I'm defending Donald Trump,

but I really believe he can be happy that he is there

because he has forced

us in Europe to step up, to face the consequences that we have to take care more of our own

events. I'm absolutely convinced. Without Donald Trump, we would not have taken those decisions,

and they are crucial. Welcome, everybody. It's the Rikershay podcast, number seven hundred and seventy three you can join

us at ricochet.com everybody can you can be part of the most stimulating conversation and

community on the web we'll tell you a little bit more about that later if you don't already

know i'm james ladax in minneapolis with the temperature has climbed to seven degrees to minus

14 uh after a certain point it's just moot it's just cold that's all there is to it. Somewhere up in the northern part of the state, they were getting wind chills of 50 below, which is, you know, some folks will never lose a toe, but then again, some folks will. If you go outside improperly dressed, you're going to suffer the loss of some digits. But in warmer places, friendlier places, better climbs.

We have Charles C.W. Cook in Florida, I presume, and Stephen Hayward,

who, though Globetrotter that he is, is probably ensconced in the utopia of California.

Am I correct, gentlemen?

Except for the utopia of California part. Yes. I am in California, but it's no utopia anymore. Well, what a week. What a week. What a week? Okay, Greenland, that's overdone. That's overdone. Settled. Now, Cuba. Let's get rid of the communist government by 2026. Wait a minute. What about Venezuela? No, no, commies out of Cuba, Cuba by 2026. it's baffling. But, you know, it's been a year like that.

It's been one year of this administration.
