Bill Kristol sat in for Sarah today and JVL wore a little treat for everyone to mark the occasion. In case you’re not watching the video, the surprise is here. It’s amazing and you’re going to want one.
After that unveiling, JVL and Bill talked about JD Vance’s speech, Iran’s devastating attacks on a Saudi pipeline and two oil tankers, and how Trump is both crippling and corrupting the U.S. military.
And then they have a philosophical conversation about terrorism and the liberal order. It’s good stuff.
