I know it's probably not fashionable these days to praise anything that Joe Biden does or says, but when he was talking about term limits for the Supreme Court, I mean, I've long felt that that needs to happen. It is ridiculous that you can put hyper-partisan people in the Supreme Court in their 40s and hope that they live for another 50 years.

You're absolutely right. And I think that's where the rubber is going to meet the road here, because, you know, if the courts say, no, you can't do this and he keeps defying the courts, what do we do at that point? I mean, I don't know if anybody has really answered that question.

And, you know, the last time around at the end of his first term, you know, we were all pretty damn lucky that he left the building. And my concern this next time around is no matter what happens in the upcoming election, he's just not going to want to give this up. I was with him on January 20th, 2021. I was at that ridiculous departure ceremony that he had at Joint Base Andrews.

It looked like a dictator going off into exile. I was with him on Air Force One for that last flight. to West Palm beach. Really? I guess I didn't know that. I was, I was in the pool that day. Yeah.

It was surreal. And a couple of jokes were made, uh, you know, Jim, I hope you make it the whole flight, you know, uh, You know, do you have your parachute? And my hope the whole time was that he was going to come into the press cabin and talk to us. But he hid in his little area of Air Force One, didn't come back to talk to us. Sulked.
