maybe the international issue of the day. a bit of the exchange in milwaukee. >> vivek if we do the giveaway that you want to give to putin it won't be too long before he rolls across the nato border. >> i don't want to get to the point sending our military resources abroad what we could be better using them here at home to protect our own borders and protect the homeland. >> this guy is a murderer and you are choosing a murderer over a pro-american country. you have no foreign policy experience and it shows. >> bill: what did you think of that, michael? >> those were some terrific exchanges. i think vivek will have to -- even thief he is popular he has to clean up some foreign policy views. he all said china can have taiwan after we're semi conductor independent in 2028. i don't think we want to green light xi to take over taiwan nor
