Marc & Kim welcome Jim Carafano from Heritage to break down the latest in Ukraine, including Zelensky's accusations about China arming Russia and the broader geopolitical chess match between Putin, Trump, and Congress.

Plus, a surprise gym encounter with RFK Jr. gets a few laughs, and Carafano critiques the Democrats' obsession with Trump, even as they try to intervene in El Salvador's legal matters. El Salvador's President Bukele, likened to Orban, is siding with the U.S. long-term, but he won't be handing over a deported criminal just to please D.C. Democrats.
