Next up for us, we'll have much more of my conversation with my dear friend and colleague, Rachel Maddow. Stay right here. I mean, so I've watched Trump sort of break up with Netanyahu, and it's just put a question mark over the Trump-Putin relationship, which seems different and deeper and so reflexive.

I mean, so I've watched Trump sort of break up with Netanyahu, and it's just put a question mark over the Trump-Putin relationship, which seems different and deeper and so reflexive.

Like, it's clear that the Netanyahu relationship was good for Trump when he thought Netanyahu was more Trumpy. And I wonder about the Putin-Trump relationship. One, if Trump knows... that the world is laughing at Trump, that Putin isn't even trying. Like, Putin used to flatter him. He's now publicly humiliating him, as you said. I wonder, I mean, like, who's going to tell Trump? Like, Rubio won't.

Correct. And I wonder, like, one, how hermetically sealed is Trump's information flow? Like the PDB has been moved over to Tulsi Gabbard's office. They're trying to fire the people who work for Trump and Ratcliffe and Tulsi Gabbard and wrote The Real Intelligence about Venezuela's tide to trend. Right. Like, I wonder if Trump knows that Putin's laughing at him is what I'm trying to say.

I mean, it's like so cartoonish.

And politically unsustainable. Like it fuels the people protesting. It fuels the opposition politicians. I mean, I think one of the things from Ultra and from Prequel is that when the judiciary ends up with too much in its... It's not made to hold up a democracy, right? Like the judiciary isn't there to fight fascism. The judiciary is there to enforce the rule of law.
