Oh, wow.

I'd like to meet this guy.

No, it's not inconsequential for a number of reasons.

First of all, Congress does have a constitutionally mandated role here.

And only in Donald Trump's world is that inconsequential.

But beyond that, Rudyard, it tells me something.

Who are these Republicans?

There's some traditional Republicans.

I don't know what you want to call them, centrist Republicans.

But they...

When an outrage is particularly offensive, they in the past would vote with Democrats.

But there's more than that going on here.

There are Republicans who are now voting with Democrats who lost primary challenges, who are not embedded any longer at the heart of Trump's circle of fear in the Republican Party.

They have nothing to lose now when they vote against the president.

These Republican voters that we saw in the House, and there's some in the Senate too, right?

They will use their voice until the midterms and in the lame duck session.

We're beginning to see a different Congress that Donald Trump is not used to managing.

So we can bemoan this regime.

80% of Iranians do bemoan this regime and are, frankly, many of them really disappointed to see what has come out of this.

But you can't change it from the outside.
