Well, what am I worried about? Well, I'm worried about, so from my angle, so editor-in-chief of Breitbart News, what I have to do is I have to be the keeper of the flame of the America First movement.

We were the original outlet at Breitbart to understand Trump and not just support him on a blanket level, which of course we're huge fans of his in general, but to understand where he was coming from.

that his contempt for the media that his contempt for the open border that his contempt for uh the military industrial complex that all these were really excellent ideas and his general skepticism of the way things have been done in washington that he said he never slept in washington i think until he'd become president he'd been there like 17 days in his life stuff like that we found that to be not a joke but to be deadly serious and i want to make sure he stays clear-eyed on that stuff

Thus far, if you look at the slate of executive orders he's done in the first day and a half, they've been superlative. They've been, every one of them, knocking them out of the park, making the Mexican cartels, designating them terrorist organizations, securing the border, ending all the DEI stuff within the federal government. He should go further. He should ban it completely.

All that stuff is bread and butter, and it's exactly what we want, putting people on notice to do tariffs. We got rolled by NAFTA. He needed to rip it up and start over. I think that's great. A lot of Republicans and conservatives got that wrong. But I will say that when he does stuff like leaving TikTok in place, I'm very skeptical of the Chinese government, which runs TikTok.

I don't want them getting that data from Americans while they're distracting us and keeping us away from doing productive stuff because we're hooked on our phones. So I don't like that. And I'm going to be the one who's going to say it. We're going to say it in a polite way, so not to alienate anyone. But that's our role, and that's what I'm looking at.

Yeah, of course, always. But he's so many of them that I think most of them will get through. And a lot of it is a cultural thing. I'm playing a very long game. And so we're not getting everything we want. We learned that the hard way the first time around, where he was just at every turn, everything he tried to do.

Dr. Drew, recall when we had to shut down the government for a record amount of time because he wanted $5 billion for the wall, $5 billion out of a multi-trillion dollar budget. They wouldn't give it to him. We had to shut down the whole government over it. So we know there's going to be a lot of opposition. We're used to it. We're battle-hardened.

Yeah, I think they're all going well. Yeah, my main beef here is actually with the Democrats that they're holding up the appointments because a lot of them are already done. We already know Pete Hegseth has 50 votes in the Republican side.
