It's used in the Constitution, but they use person. Which means any person who's here is entitled to due process rights. And people say, well, those are immigrants to hell with them. I'm reminded of that famous quote from pre-Holocaust. First they came for the Jews and I didn't worry because I wasn't a Jew. And then they came for gay people and I didn't care because I wasn't gay.

Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't care because I wasn't Catholic. Now they're coming for me and there's no one here to stand up for me.

Well, I'll tell you what, when I ran for reelection last year, I never knew what I was getting into. I didn't anticipate this. I mean, I was a senator through four years of the first Trump administration, but this is way different. He doesn't seem to have anybody around him who will tell him no or will tell him, you know, this isn't really the best thing to do.

That's always dangerous for any leader. Remember, I went back to my teaching, and one of the things I used to teach was you've got to have people in your circle who are empowered to, and in fact, in my case, required to tell you when you're full of . If you don't, you're gonna make big mistakes.

A friend of mine in business up here in Maine has a sign on his office wall that says, if you and I agree all the time, one of us isn't necessary. And so that's a real danger. From his point of view, That's dangerous because he's not going to get the straight information and he's going to make mistakes. Just, I mean, the tariff policy is a perfect example of there's no policy.

There's no policy you can discern because it changes every two or three days. And what's clear is it wasn't really thought through. That's why this power was put in Congress because things like tariffs are pretty important. They should be debated and the pros and cons evaluated. That apparently didn't happen in this case.

I think it's a little of both. I think some of the president's advisors are malicious. Elon Musk, for example, really enjoys firing people. Obviously, they don't know what they're doing, literally. They're firing people that they have to rehire two or three days later. Oh, those people take care of nuclear weapons. I guess we shouldn't have fired them.
