OK, so now not only did Trump not solve the problem, now he's been cut out from the table because Europe decides to move forward anyway and there's no deal. And now we have a real Europe-Russia war, which can affect the U.S. economy in dramatic ways. So he's got to be very, in my opinion, careful on how far he goes to where he pushes Europe into having no choice but to continue the war without us.

Well, so there are lots of things going on with this whole situation. Right. First, let's just start with the math. Right. And people know this way. We've heard we've heard mandate. The American people voted for mandate. We have a mandate mandate. OK, we get it. Except in the House, they only have a three vote majority. Doesn't really sound like much of a mandate.

Exactly. It doesn't sound like much of a mandate in the House. So the numbers are a problem. In fact, the numbers right now, they don't even have the three-vote majority because you're missing two members from Florida. They have a one-vote majority. But in April, they'll go back to a three-vote majority, okay? So that's the math, number one. Number two is you have Doge, right?

But anyway, besides that, let's not dispute. Look, there's lots of stuff we can dispute. But let's just go with their argument, right? That they have found all this fraud, waste, and abuse, and it's $100 billion. That's what they say. Okay? Okay. Well, the government is going to shut down on March 14th. We're going to run out of money. Okay? And we've been doing a CR.

That's how we've been running our government, just by continuing resolution, which is, by the way, how you get this problem... The Republicans have done continuing resolutions for the last two years. Mike Johnson's on the path to do another continuing resolution. That's how you get this problem because you continue programs that shouldn't be continued, right?
