They fear the historical precedent will be the same in November, that the in-party loses seats in the House and Senate, and maybe both of them, and the Left is very triumphant.  

And we’re getting a picture that I think is inaccurate. But one way to test whether that suggestion is accurate or inaccurate is just take a deep breath and look at the world, let’s say, at the beginning of the Biden administration compared to now. 

Let’s just start with Canada. Canada is very angry. We’re in a trade dispute. Is Canada now making a serious effort? Does it promise that it will meet its NATO commitments? It hasn’t yet, or it barely has, but it’s making progress. It better do it. Is it trying to address, in a haphazard fashion, the idea that it can just dump product, or it can have these high tariffs and run $50 billion to $80 billion tariffs with impunity, as Mexico did? No.

Is the border closed? Yes. Is illegal immigration plaguing us at 10,000 a day? No. 

How about Venezuela? Is it importing terrorism and narcotics to North America? No. We just signed a deal that will essentially allow the United States, for 100 years, to have access to 65 billion barrels of high-sulfur, thick, but very valuable Venezuelan oil. They get $19, no matter........
