The team from the Republican Party is gone.
And then the institutions have been damaged and gutted.
And let's go after- It's not even that positive.
So you remember back to April 2nd, Tariff Day?
with the big game show boards.
So I've got a contact in MAGA who's pretty up there.
He doesn't like me.
I don't like him.
But we find one another useful.
And so he called me at 1.30 p.m.
Eastern time after he had had lunch at the White House and said they haven't started talking internally about what the tariff levels are going to be.
And the announcement was supposed to be at 4.
I'm like, but this is like supposed to be the set piece.
This is going to be the basis for everything.
There is no yesterday.
There is no tomorrow.
There is only the now.
Pure foreign policy.
I would certainly agree with that statement, yeah.
But again, if you're going to smash China, there's simple, more direct ways.
