It doesn't work that way. But look, it was relationships. It was things that you could do. I'm not there, so this is second guessing. And again, if I'm criticizing anybody in Congress, they are rightfully to say, oh, says my son did this. And I'm giving him wisdom from a father. And in the middle of that wisdom lecture, he said, oh yeah, says the guy who got his ass kicked by Donald Trump.

And so I'm like, okay, fair enough. So I don't want to be the guy to lecture them But I don't think you give them a single vote on these unqualified members of the cabinet. And I think you make it clear that the American public, you're voting for them.

This is the really difficult question, and this is where it's going to sound like a bit contradictory on my part, this idea of not wanting people to suffer or whatever. This is one of those cases, though. This is their responsibility. Things like the debt ceiling, just to be very clear. Nobody, when your party has power, It's your responsibility to raise the debt ceiling.

And that's to pay the bills that have already been done. That's not increased spending. And every single time, people don't want to do that because it's like bad messaging. But you've got to do it. When Barack Obama needed to rise the debt ceiling, I voted to do that. So I'm part of doing that. I would argue we're in a different time in what's happening right now.

And I think if the Republicans can't pass a budget with the presidency, the House, and the Senate, You let them figure that part out. And if the government shuts down...

That's a fair question, because I know, yeah, I don't want to be that guy. It sounds like there's plenty you don't like. Yeah, you're right. Man. Okay, two things. And especially today. Two things. Two things. I'll mention this. Especially today, tonight. I think I come down on Trump's side on Daylight Savings Time. So he started talking about that. I'll give you that. Someone over there, too.
