First and foremost, you have a right to feel that way.

No one should be allowed to talk you into adopting their enemies as your own.

There are a ton of people in Washington who think the single most dangerous person in the world, most evil person who's ever lived is Vladimir Putin.

Some of them really think that.

A lot of them are just getting rich by saying it, but a lot of them do believe it because I know them.

I know they feel that way.

It's sincere.

But as a percentage of the country, what percentage of the country actually puts killing Putin at the top of its priority list, like less than 1%?

It's just not a problem for most Americans who runs Russia.

But it's a huge problem in Washington.

So Washington, for a couple of years there,

succeeded in convincing the rest of us to either adopt their priority, Putin is the most important thing, we have to stop Putin, or shut up about it because if you don't, you're an agent of Putin, basically bullied the country into accepting their list of priorities.

And the election of Trump was really...

a refutation of that.

It was tens of millions of voters saying, no, actually, we, our problems need a hearing.

Someone needs to care about our problems.

It's not just about you and your little parochial squabble.

They're telling us now that Iran is the biggest problem we've ever had.

And if you question that, like how many Americans have been killed on American soil by Iran as compared to the number, I don't know, killed by Mexico, which brings all our fentanyl in, not Venezuela, Mexico.

You get attacked as an agent of the mullahs.
