Yeah. I mean, look, I think a lot of these hearings end up being performances. You know, it's really political theater. Good point. Right now for Democrats, it's nothing but political theater because all you need is a simple majority in the Senate to confirm these Trump nominees. And so they're using this as a moment to kind of. do their own political virtue signaling to their base.

And so I understand that. And look, I mean, what you're saying is really subjective. Some women are super into it. Some people are really into seeing like a strong fighter, especially a woman in the Senate. Others are turned off by it. So I totally hear what you're saying. But I do think that Gillibrand has some pretty good questions. So we'll see what happens. And that's right.

Yeah, definitely. I mean, I'm sure if Trump was watching, he absolutely loved the way she handled the confirmation hearing yesterday. But I will say this. Look, I think she did a good job in terms of optics, for sure. I wish that the Senate confirmation hearings were less about the optics and politics and more about the records of these individuals.

And so I would have preferred that she just said, Biden won the 2020 election. That way it would take the one and only question away from the Democrats. Well, she said Biden is the president. Yeah, exactly. And so that allowed for the Democrats to continue asking the same boring question over and over and over and over again. And I would have loved for them to delve into her record in Florida.

Right. I want to learn more about her. I'm sure the American people want to learn more about her. But Honestly, at this point, the Democratic Party has one speed and one speed only. And I'm sure it was aggravating for her as well to be asked the exact same question over and over again.

And to talk about optics briefly, I think that the way Adam Schiff behaved in that Senate confirmation hearing was the absolute worst. because he wasn't really interested in hearing her answers at all and seemed to be interrupting her before she could answer. It came across as bullying, and I don't think it's a good look at all. So Democrats aren't really thinking about the optics.

They're not really delving into the records of these individuals, and I think that's a big problem.
