I mean, this is stuff usually said in back channels. So that's what surprised me. Not that it was said, but that she said it publicly and didn't call him up. But Peter, this is what really surprises me. And this is what I'm really so torn about on this. And this is just being honest. I had the same opinion on RFK, you would guess, of any Democrat, right? Seems anti-vaccine, seems a little nuts.

That Bayer story was crazy. But everybody I know that has worked with him directly, like seems to love him. Like people that I know and respect and whose judgment I respect. And I'm so torn on this because it's like, well, my friends seem to really be in support of this, but the guy seems like he's nuts. So I don't know which side to fall on here.

I'm with you, Peter. I'm an institutionalist by nature. And, you know, having someone with him, his history comes in. It certainly gives me pause. At the same time, you know, last week on the show, we talked about Ross Ulbrich being freed by presidential pardon. This is very clearly Trump rewarding the libertarians, which showed up for him and put him in the office.

And in the same way, like the RFK vote was a non-trivial part of why Trump won. So I almost think it's a foreground conclusion. Like, there are a lot of people in D.C. that made their bets on Trump, and they're being ritually rewarded now. I think the concern about his capability and judgment, I'm entirely in alignment with you.

I have to challenge you on that a little bit, Peter. I mean, one thing I really respect about the Republicans is I think they dance with the ones that brought them in a way that the Democrats just don't seem willing to do. There are a lot of people out there, you know, Maddie, you were talking about the endless lockdowns earlier.
