And I disagree with him personally, but I feel like I agree with many of his policies, so I'll be with him. The problem is that he does things like this, pulls the security detail from Mike Pompeo. Now, that is nothing but pettiness and vindictiveness colored with absolute mortal danger.

Here's Pompeo as CIA director and secretary of state who executes an order from the commander in chief in alignment with our system and gets Soleimani assassinated. The Iranians now say we're going to kill Pompeo and a couple of other folks too, John Bolton, Brian Hook. And as a result, the intelligence community says we need to give these guys security.

Because they didn't jump through hoops to support Donald Trump, he's now pulled it and said, hey, they have money. They can buy their own security. Well, that may or may not be true. I don't know the financial circumstances of those three guys. But what I will tell you is having had public security and private security, public security is much better. Because they have access to intelligence.

They have access to information that private security guys just don't have. To me... That's the essence of the problem here, is that no matter what he may do from a policy perspective that you agree or disagree with, he will always revert back to pettiness, vindictiveness.

First off, I'd say they overplayed and over litigated the character things on Trump, especially in the 24 campaign. Um, The people who were not going to vote for Donald Trump on the character issues already determined they're not going to vote for Donald Trump. The people that the Democrats had to persuade were the people you and I were just talking about who said like, look, I get that.

But the government sucks and you guys are running it and it sucks. And what's your answer to that? And neither Biden nor Harris during this last cycle had an answer to that, nor did Chuck Schumer, nor did any of the rest of them because their answer to all that was, yeah, but Trump will be worse. Well, you know what they figured out? People went, eh, maybe not.

Because you guys aren't giving me an alternative. And I think that the problem is that there is two things going on inside the Democratic Party. There is an unresolved conflict within the Democratic Party from the very progressive wing of the party to the more traditional Democrats about who's going to run the show and who's going to write the playbook. They haven't resolved that problem.

And they all papered it over. And you've got to have the fight inside the Democratic Party to what is it that we stand for governmentally? What do we believe in? What would we do for people to deal with that disconnect and the discontent that's going on? They haven't answered those questions.

You're right. They don't right now. And that's the problem with having gone back to Biden. Going back to Biden in 20 was a reaction to Trump. It was like, okay, he's the guy who will be least offensive and will make Trump the focus. But he won. I mean... Well, but won what? Then he came in. The presidency. Right, but no, but John, this is what I mean. Like...
