EXCERPT:
BACON: “Well, that should be the concession that Russia stops the war, but I've been -- you get mixed signals from the White House, and I wish they'd be more clear. The initial peace agreement from last week was Ukraine had to give up more land, had to reduce the size of its army, would have to not be allowed to join NATO. You couldn't allow foreign troops into Ukraine. It really was a surrender document that would've left Ukraine weak and vulnerable to Russia for decades to come. I do think that agreement has shifted a little more back towards the middle. But I would like to see the president be a stronger advocate for the free country, the sovereign country of Ukraine that wants to be a democracy, wants to be allied with us, and have a little more clear-eyed view of who Putin is that Putin is the invader. He's the dictator. He has murdered all of his opponents. But I just don't see that moral clarity coming from the White House.”
