Money. i think you need to have moral clarity to understand that when youre dealing with dictators in the world, that we always have to fight for democracies and human rights and protecting americans and preventing war. so when you look at donald trump, i have said i think he was the right president at the right time. i agree with a lot of his policies, but his way is not my way. i dont have vengeance. i dont have vendettas. i dont take things personally. for me, its very much about no drama, no...

This is a pro-american freedom loving country. and we better remember that you have to be a friend to get a friend. and we needed a lot of friends september 12th. weve got to make sure that were having the backs of the right friends, because if russia wins, china wins. there is a reason that taiwanese want us to help the ukrainians, and thats because they know if ukraine wins, china wont invade taiwan. this is about preventing war. >> governor desantis? [ applause ] >> i supported trumps policy ...

Because when president obama was in office, he supported foreign aid to ukraine. now he is copying trump and trying the act like he doesnt want to support ukraine. but let me tell you why ukraine should matter. first of all, i dont think he we should give cash to any country, friend or foe because you cant follow it. you cant hold it accountable. i dont believe we need to put troops on the ground and kraungs want to win this themselves. but dictators always say, always do what they say theyre go...

Nations formations. the success weve had in florida. i can cite the statistics. its important. look at how people are voting with their feet. theyre leaving california. leaving illinois, new york, and theyre coming to florida in records numbers because were doing it right. not only have i cut taxes big time where she didnt as governor of south carolina, weve paid down 25% of our states debt. thats how you manage the third largest state in this country. just imagine if we could do that for the un...

Are perfect democracies and i wouldnt say the united states is a perfect democracy either. so, just saying, i dont think the test is quite that. i think the problem is, as elizabeth said, and i said, that there is war going on, disputed boundaries and the goal is to get to a win for ukraine against russia and then obviously have ukraine become part of a 33-member alliance to block russian aggression ever again. >> peter, any other thoughts on that before i move on? >> no, no, i wouldnt disagree ...

A war. right now were in a war. the question is what would that kind of messaging have on putins decisions or pathways toward an end to this current war. and i think there would be a big obstacle. the chicago council on global affairs this week is going to be releasing new survey data we did with the last remaining independent polling organization in russia and seven in ten russians according to this survey have said that preventing ukraine from joining nato is a top justification, a top benefit...

Meantime. if you balance that, the nato allies should be considering how it will impact that outcome and putins willingness to end the war. >> peter, beyond article five and this ongoing war and the thought being you cant allow ukraine into the war, because were all at war, is it clear what else ukraine may need to prove to be allowed into the nato alliance? >> look, it is important you heard president biden talk about democracy as well as security because in fact ukraine is not a perfect moxie ...

Membership cant happen, but they made real progress and the alliance will lay out the further reforms, both in terms of their security work and their democracy that are necessary to keep moving down that path. >> elizabeth, how do you weigh natos clear desire to protect ukraine but also try not to antagonize putin to the point where he may do something extreme? >> well, that seems to be what is the debate is focusing on a lot. the point were missing is whether it is in ukraines and natos best in...
