I think about Abraham Lincoln.

Let's do a history lesson since we're all about Kentucky.

I think about...

Abraham Lincoln and what happened when he took the presidency and he created his cabinet.

He didn't create it out of people who were going to say yes to him all the time.

There were people in his cabinet who he was pretty much enemies with beforehand, but he knew that he needed them there in order to have a strong government.

And thank God we would have fallen apart during the Civil War if that hadn't been the case.

But Trump has done exactly the opposite.

It is just a bunch of his buddies who will say yes and lay down at every opportunity.

We saw this with Kristi Noem.

We saw this with Pam Bondi.

Whatever the president's bidding is, they're willing to do it.

And that means that there's no back and forth.

There are no additional controls here.

So the Democrats can scream from the rooftops, and I think they're doing everything they can, but they don't have the bully pulpit that Donald Trump has.

And they don't have the power, the military, the dollars.

I mean, you saw Trump's budget taking away a wick, taking away food from babies so that we can bomb Iran for what reason?

None of this makes any sense in the real world.

Did you happen to catch that clip of Ron Johnson, my senator from Wisconsin, saying, I just hope and pray that this is just bluster?

Like, hope and pray?
