I'm scared of TV and you and everything. Me? I'm scary? Well, because I know if you chose to, you could eviscerate me.
Oh, that's true.
This is a good film noir. Yeah.
I can't hear my heart beating.
We're going to have a drink.
And now the right is kind of getting like that. They're kind of getting into cancel culture. I told you about the words.
They are so... I'm shocked about that. I was watching Ted Cruz on TV today or yesterday. I was thinking, why did he come back, you know, after Trump... In fact, my sister Peggy got one of the few apologies that Trump ever gave because I was interviewing him and he's like, how's your sister? He knew she was a Trump voter.
And I said, she is not going to vote for you because you've been trashing Heidi Cruz and talking about women in these polls. horrible terms. And I said, why don't you just apologize to, you know, for that? That was horrible. And there was this long pause. And finally he's like, okay, you know, I'm sorry. I said that about her.
Yeah, but that's what I love. I love that you talk to these people, and that's what's horrible about being in Washington now, because everybody's in their trenches, and it's just like we picked up the Civil War where we left off or something.

Mm-hmm.
He called it summoning the demon.
But he also wanted to be an advocate for carbon-based beings. He wanted to be humanity's advocate. That's why he started this whole Mars thing. He said he wanted to die on Mars, just not on impact.
Trump and Elon remind me of like, You know, people always ask me if they're Shakespearean. But I think they're more like Greek gods, you know. They're sort of capricious and cool and they do what they like. It's like watching Zeus and Dionysus, the god of fertility. You know, it isn't like watching Shakespeare.
Yeah.
Well, he's very busy, Bill.
No, you were talking about movies that are out of date.
Yeah, like Advising Consent, where you see both parties mingling at dinner parties and solving problems. And Gene Tierney is a lovely hostess. No, people do not do that. They're in their corners.
Yeah.
