1. You might be happy to know I do not watch Netflix.
2. Your introductions of speakers are always thought out & useful.
3. Your head nodding interviewing style, without interruptions are terrific.
4. Inserting your thoughts only at natural breaks is a great technique, bravo!
5. I question the speaker Brian Riedl's automatic notion that Tariffs = Inflation. Most tariffs never even get exercised, the conditions usually get negotiated away. And the tariffs $ help fund government spending. Tariffs funded US government spending until WWI.
6. Good info: 1) Ukraine $58B/year, less than 1% of spending. A rounding error to US spending. 2) Getting old US munitions out, buying new munitions that are American made is good. 3) supporting Ukraine has saved tons of US/NATO spending across much of Eastern Europe, if Russia pulled off their 3 week plan. Agreed tying Putin down in a stalemate and ruining the Russian military readiness through attrition, without any American deaths is a very good thing.
