I think where there's real objection is on the E, the equity, the idea that you're going to specify 30 percent has to be X and 30 percent has to be Y, not who's most qualified, not who is the best for that position. And I think that's where the party kind of just really lost control of this issue. I think if we just say we're proud of having a diverse country, we're proud to try to include people.
But the most qualified, the best person should be hired or get the admissions slot is probably kind of the middle ground when we think about the future. On Governor Walz.

Well, I think there's two things here. I think generally speaking, President Trump ran on trying to end the war in Ukraine. And I think you're right. Even within the Democratic Party and the Bernie Sanders kind of base, there is a desire to spend, you know, focus and spend money on problems at home, not necessarily abroad.

Although aspirationally, as you say, people would like Ukraine to be protected. I think where Musk gets in trouble is when he makes statements like that. People died because Russia tried to invade Ukraine and they're trying to defend their homeland, right? So I get why they dug trenches and they're doing everything they can to resist a country that's trying to take it over.

I think when Musk does stuff like in the interview, say, this is a revolution. We're trying to revolutionize things. Yeah, the public doesn't necessarily love that language. I mean, this goes to like Joe Biden trying to suddenly become FDR, right? That's not what a lot of people signed up for in 2020. And so I think Musk, to your point, is brash. I would never bet against him as a businessman.

He's unbelievably successful, to state the obvious. But he's rough around the edges. And I think as he wades more into politics, whether it's trolling people on X or kind of forcefully interjecting into politics, you get the good, but you also get bad that I think, you know, you have to be willing to digest. But I think his numbers are coming down.
