And I think because I want Democrats to win and because I think Donald Trump is an existential threat to many of the things we care about. And the fact that that the people in the White House who agree with me on that in the Biden White House, they believed this about Trump winning again.

And yet in 2017 and 18, 19, 20, they saw that, you know, they got him elected and then they saw the decline continue. And after the midterms, I've talked to lots of my friends who've worked in that White House.

Biden took credit and nobody had the courage in that White House to stand up to him and Jill Biden and say, if you run again. We will lose. And the fact that got to the June of the election year and that disastrous debate performance for him to be forced out. I mean, there we had no chance at that point. Right. Kamala, you can't run a campaign with no primary being anointed in 100 days.

The ultimate insult in Hollywood. It sounds like he didn't recognize a lot of people that worked for him. The fact that he was the only one to say, I need to write a New York Times op-ed. And all these people, now they're coming out, most of them anonymously, which I agree is I don't like. David Plouffe, you know, God bless him. At least he's willing to be on the record.

You don't even know who I am. And I there's so much anger. And I like Joe Biden a lot. I don't like that his legacy will always be. It will always be this. And his team did that to him.

What I am nervous about, there are two things with Trump in the Middle East. Number one is that these deals just support his friends, Elon, these rich guys, Sam Altman, who are in the room.
