s illegal. But yeah, when my government wants to keep me better informed and tell me that the interest rate on this loan is the same as this one and you know what's in the food—yeah I like all that. So I could not be happier about that. That's pure golden age stuff. You don't get that. You don't get this without Trump and without RFK Jr. I think. Meanwhile I saw a story. Sam J over in Twitchy is…

Republicans are better at looking at the entire machine and the incentives that are driving it. So that's why they're better system designers. And so Sacks points out this is a system design problem and there's no accountability for just massive amounts of government employees. They have a like a local boss but it's just so hard to fire anybody at least at the highest level. So hard it just doesn't happen. So yeah that needs to be fixed.
Imagine if America could create a government that actually was efficient. Because imagine the competitive advantage that would be. Because I don't think China's government is super efficient. I don't think Russia's government is super efficient. I don't think the European Union members are super efficient. Maybe some are. Sometimes I tell you that Estonia has it together. I think it does actually. I think there is one country, Estonia, that just sort of does a lot of things right. Just sort of quietly being smart and excellent every day. But just imagine the competitive advantage and our survivability as a nation if we could make our government accountable and efficient. It's a big, big ask but all the right people are on it. All the right people. So we'll see.
And then so apparently Zelensky has said out loud that he thinks the war will end faster under the Trump administration. And here's what—here's the dog. This isn't quite the dog now barking but it's the awesome thing that you didn't notice. So here's the thing that I think you'll agree is true. That this is not an exaggeration. Trump has ended at least two nuclear confrontations just by being Trump. Let me explain.
Do you remember how all the smart people are saying, okay well I might like some of Trump's policies but oh his character, oh let me tell you about his character. His character. Well let me tell you what his character did. His character took the risk of nuclear war between Ukraine and Russia to zero. Do you know why? Because both Russia and Ukraine think he's the big dog and that the big dog's going to come in and settle their problems. What would be the odds of Russia launching a nuclear war before Trump gets into office? None. None at all. They would have nothing to gain, right?
Trump by his character—remember the part you didn't like, his character—his character ended the risk of nuclear war in Ukraine and Russia. Admit it. Admit it. You admit it. That was his character. It wasn't his policy. It wasn't his height. It wasn't his orange hair. It was his character. They saw his character coming and they took the risk of nuclear war off the table. It's the second time. North Korea, same thing. Do you remember when Trump comes into office and we're worried literally worried that North Korea was going to launch a nuclear attack? Do you know what took that completely off the table? Now something could happen accidentally but clearly we're not looking at an intentional nuclear war. Do you know what took it completely off the table? His character. His character. Because he went and he shook hands with Kim Jong-un which nobody else would have done. And Kim Jong-un said, oh well why would I nuke my friend? Why would I?
So Trump's character protected us from two nuclear possibilities already, right? And we act like that's the worst part of him. It's not the worst part of him. I don't know what's the worst part but it's the good part. The character. The character is what's getting everything done.
Do you know why people are scrambling around in antic

ipation of him doing changes? Is because his character is I'm not going to quit. There's the character. If you know he's not going to quit you're going to make adjustments before he gets there because he's coming and he's not going to quit and you're not going to talk him out of it with your bureaucrats. And this time he brought a whole pirate ship full of people who don't quit. Do you know what E…
