And they are clearly worried about what bird flu is doing to egg prices and dairy prices. The Trumpflation thing, the groceries thing, the shit he ran on and got elected for to bring costs down is a concern to them. I mean, I don't know if you've tried to buy eggs. We're a big egg house here, Tim. They're very hard to get.

Well, they're hard to get and they're really expensive, like everywhere across the country. This is a problem for the Trump administration on a practical, a really practical level. And they're about to install someone who seems categorically, I mean, part of the statement that the White House released yesterday is we inherited this problem with bird flu.

And, you know, it's a Biden problem that is, you know, now landing on our doorstep. But they're about to install someone at HHS who has like zero capacity to deal with any kind of national health crisis and, in fact, could make it meaningfully worse. I'm surprised that at no point, because they had a lot of gimmies on this one. They could have taken a mulligan and just been like, you know what?

they're going full steam ahead with someone who could make one of, I think, really a practical economic problem for them considerably more problematic. So that, to me, more than the, you know, spinelessness of Senate Republicans, I thought was surprising.

I was doing this show called The Circus, which I know you're quite familiar with, seeing as you did several seasons. And I remember John Heilman and I went out to see Susan Collins. right before her vote on Brett Kavanaugh.
