Good to be back with you, Terry.
It's a bit of an irony because I don't think the two are compatible.
And I think we're finding out almost by the day that they are not compatible.
But I put them together because Saks puts them together.
Following the January 6, 2021 insurrection, which he called an insurrection and which he declared would finish Trump in national office and put him in an ignominious place in history.
He was quite categorical about that.
Very quickly, Sachs began to creep back from that position and to make amends with Trump.
And with MAGA.
He didn't support Trump right away for 2024 for the Republican nomination.
He was for Ron DeSantis.
But in his public speech.
In what he said on his podcast, it was clear that he was trying to align himself with MAGA.
So he began talking about things that you never heard him talking about before such as our terrible trade deals, mass immigration, free speech by which he meant –
The big platforms, Facebook, Twitter, banning Trump and other right-wing purveyors of falsehoods.
For Sachs, that was kind of like the big red line that he claimed made the left unacceptable and brought him back into sort of a tolerant position, eventually a really sycophantic position toward Trump.
But those are the –
And then he began to say, I'm a populist.
And he actually quite openly said, I'm on the side of the working man.
I'm on the side of the working class against the elites.
Now, who are the elites, if not David Sachs?
