This is CBS I on the World. I'm John Batchel. Gregory Copley, my mentor, protégé, a colleague, and the

editor and publisher of Defense and Foreign Affairs is here, and Gregory's agreed with my request

to go along with lessons learned from 2025, looking to

2026. And everything is in play. What have you learned that you didn't know at the beginning of

The president handled it beautifully, walked out, accepted the cheering of, I don't know,

Donald Trump is really good at pageantry, at ceremony.

Not only the best I've ever seen, it might be the best in the century.

We might not have anybody to achieve it.
