I mean, first of all, this is not normal.

It is not normal to be torturing commuters in New Jersey and New York and punishing 220,000 workers in California and targeting Minnesota's...

Energy grid, like that's what's happening here.

This is like wanton and cruel and highly unusual to have some, let's call him a weird guy who has had a passion, a zeal, an anti-bureaucratic, anti-federal government, anti, I don't know, just...

A zealot at the OMB giving him free reign to wreak havoc and own the libs in like the most like potentially disastrous fashion as it concerns the role of the federal government and its impact on American lives.

Like these are projects that will make us resilient, energy independent, clean the air, make us competitive internationally with superpowers that are in many ways way ahead of us.

Like this is literally shooting ourselves in the feet, hurting us.

because you just want to like, just because torture is fun.

This is like the, the, the, the, the Republican fiscal hog version of like finding someone's cat and skinning it.

Right.

Like this is not, it is.

It's like the wet dream, the skin cat.

It's also disgusting.

Everybody's turned this podcast off.

So you can, I can just like get real, but it is, it is so foul.

And I don't think we should let the cruelty that is inherent in all of this go unnoticed.

Um,

And, like, at the same time, it's deeply problematic, right?

This is what I mean about playing chicken with a group of people who have been, like, just dying to gun the engine and drive the car off the cliff.

Like, this is Russell Vogt sitting there, like, twiddling his fingers and deciding which blue state and which lib program to unwind and, like, kneecap.
