It was stunning to watch JD Vance speak to the Munich Security Conference. They apparently wanted to hear how America would continue to spend billions on the current European war and were stone faced when VP Vance schooled them on values. Vice President Vance is a compelling orator, but the reaction from that crowd was, at best, a handful of applause. Most sat, by all appearance, stupefied or silently angry.

One of the things that I wanted to talk about today is, of course, our shared values. And, you know, it’s great to be back in Germany. As you heard earlier, I was here last year as United States senator. I saw Foreign Secretary David Lammy, and joked that both of us last year had different jobs than we have now. But now it’s time for all of our countries, for all of us who have been fortunate enough to be given political power by our respective peoples, to use it wisely to improve their lives.

After years of being wrongfully detained in a Russian prison, U.S. citizen Marc Fogel is finally home thanks to relentless efforts by President Donald Trump and his administration to secure his release — making good on a promise President Donald Trump made to Fogel’s 95-year-old mother, Malphine.
Fogel said it best: “President Trump is a hero … I will forever be indebted to President Trump, to Steve [Witkoff] over there — what a dynamic man this guy is. When I met him, the energy, the can-do attitude just exudes from his body.”
