I mean, this is this is truly bananas, you know.

And then you have the governor using the word atrocity.

which can only remind any of us of World War II, which is a really poor word choice.

So you have poor word choices coming out of the mouths of the people who are supposed to be restoring order and paying attention to the North Star of the Constitution, instead acting like children in a sandbox.

I say that as a mother who watched these kind of things happen, literally.

And yet the power...

And the the responsibility of these offices is just being ignored, to my opinion, on both parties.

I wonder, you know, it's so important to have people in your orbit that give you counsel that you might not necessarily like at first blush.

It's vital.

And so it seems to me that, you know, the word sycophant always comes to mind because you see it.

I see it happen around many powerful people where they just isolate themselves or insulate themselves with opinions by people, from people that are only really looking out for their own interests.

And I can't help but feel like when the jersey just is on and will not come off the team jersey, it's because that person is lacking any kind of, you know, outside counsel, for lack of a better phrase.

You're speaking specifically about can we shoot will the Golden Dome intercept?

Yes.

So to be clear, what we have now are interceptor missiles that are on the ground and they fire at an incoming ICBM, ideally making contact with the warhead 500 miles up in space.

Crazy.

OK, that's what an interceptor system is.

It's got about a 50 percent success rate.

There are 44 of them.

That's going to do nothing against a thousand incoming ICBMs.
