Yeah, it's breathtaking, Charlie. I never expected it. You and I had these discussions. We knew it was going to be aggressive. We knew he was going to come hard and fast, but I don't think anyone had any idea what flood the zone would really mean. And I don't think, you know, we anticipated the success of it and the idea, the philosophy behind giving them too many things to chase, too many ideas.

And yet I didn't anticipate that it was going to work this well. You know, all you know, the resistance, it hasn't really been able to get started. Yeah, we're starting to see some lawfare. Judges are stepping in the way. But for the most part, it's just been tears. It's just been a trail of tears of Democrat tears and media tears. And it's this – it has to go back to the strategy.

And I'm sure I don't – since I'm working all the time, I don't get an opportunity to listen to all of your sort of opening monologues. But one of the things that's been sticking out to me these last three weeks is – This is so much better than Trump 1.0.

We don't want to say that it was a good thing that the nation suffered for four years under Biden, but I guarantee you that we wouldn't have anything like this had Trump been able to assume office. in 2021. He had four years to sit and think and ponder every department, every agency, and how to attack this.

And the last thing I'll say is I throw back to you, you know, that we all love the Javier Millay and the chainsaw. And I remember sort of cautioning people leading up to the inauguration, like, look, it's not going to be like that. We aren't going to be able to cut agencies like they did in Argentina. But I'll tell you, the Doge stuff and the Elon Musk stuff, it reminds me of Javier Millay.

It reminds me of Argentina. It reminds me of winning.

Yeah, they are. And it's nice. You know, you and I are poll junkies. We look at all of this stuff, even though we know to discount certain things. But it's been phenomenal. That CBS News poll that came out, incredible great news. Margaret Brennan was not pleased. You're right about how, you know, when I started coming on your show, you know, it was DeSantis. It was all DeSantis. That was the talk.

As you said, Trump's betting odds were low. They were below 15%. DeSantis looked like he was ascendant. And yeah, you know, I'd sort of forgotten about East Palestine kicking that off, but that created so much sort of angst and unrest and anger at the Biden administration. And Trump came in and he sort of showed what a real president does. I mean, he replaced Biden.

Biden never made it to East Palestine, at least in those Not in those first eight months. So, you know, it obviously gave him time. But in terms of, you know, where we are now, three weeks later, if you had said to me a month ago, OK, Trump's going to go shock and awe, days of thunder. He's not going to stop executive orders, you know, day after day.

I wouldn't have thought that his that his poll numbers would be this good. There's something I've got in the stack this morning. Forty two percent of black men approve.
