Great interview, Julie. Adm. Franken is very knowledgeable and informed to the minute on current affairs. His thoughtful analysis brought new perspectives. He is also a good friend to have in this time.

I listened twice to this conversation. Thank you both. Admiral Franken solidified my views of the USA becoming Hungary.

Admiral Franken. Thank for your insights with Ms Gammack. I am Iowa native, retired from full career with USAID, no living in the Shenandoah Valley, north of Harrisonburg. We campaigned for you in Iowa, and often grieve the failure of the Grassley retirement party. Could we get together sometime? David Fredrick 319 505 3149

I wish Admiral Michael Franken had won the senate seat when he ran. Iowa would have had a reliable voice in the senate. In watching the Zelensky attack at the White House and the follow up responses from Republican senators and representatives was unbelievable. Even the ones that had supported Ukraine were showering Trump with praise for his behavior. The only normal response came from Republican senator for Nebraska when he said he was ashamed of the treatment given Zelensky. I pray for Ukraine.

The bravest man in the world was bullied yesterday while in the USA White House. Regardless, his legend will stand.
