I think it's sort of barreling through a threshold to shoot an American citizen dead with the cameras rolling, deny her any medical care at the moment, at least with the cameras captured, and then have the president defensive enough in a room full of New York Times reporters that he rolls the tape and says, see, see, see, and the tape doesn't show what he says at all.

And I do wonder, you know, like— That's the part that—I mean, I've asked you about this.

Like, his brand is in the toilet.

He's as unpopular as he was during COVID.

He's more unpopular than Biden was.

Why are they still capitulating?

Well, here's the other thing.

If you're in that group, right?

If you are someone who wants to roll with Donald Trump, right?

He can't stand wusses.

And so to act like such a sack of weakness is the least appealing thing to him.

The people that he respects and fixates on aren't the ones that could pitch.

He has no use for Kevin McCarthy.

And what good did it do Kevin McCarthy to pick out all the color of starbursts that Donald Trump wanted from the jar and give him this?

He thinks that's lame.

It's so lame.

So the capitulation is... Well, and I think Jimmy Kimmel is the counterfactual, right?

I can barely figure out how to get the streamers to work, but to have millions of people cancel Disney and Hulu is a big thing that millions of individual Americans did.

because the FCC bullied Disney.

They took Kimmel off the air.
