One, because a lot of what Trump is doing is going along with the grain of what was already a backlash against some of this insanity. His election itself was a permission slip for institutions like Meta to say, you know, we don't like this woke ideology. It's kind of forced on us. We don't want it anymore. And he's using the hook of federal funding to turn some of this stuff around.
So that's been amazing. And he took a small democratic approach to this election. I'm going to tell people what I want to do. And then if they approve it and elect me, I'm going to do it. And even if at the margins people aren't excited about everything, they do appreciate that directness and that kind of approach.

And we're restoring the water flow from those showers. What was the famous Bill Clinton line? People would rather you be strong and wrong than weak and right. And a lot of this stuff, Trump's strong on, plus he has popular backing.

Always.
Always.
Always.
Well, a lot happened in the past three days, right? We had, uh, Joe Biden's absolutely bizarre exit from the presidency, not just the pardons yesterday, but his declaration of a 28th Amendment that doesn't exist and his refusal to enforce the TikTok bill he signed. Then we had a whirlwind inauguration day.

with a whole bunch of executive orders, most of them good, most of them welcome, a couple of which I think are illegal. And then Trump's own pardons last night of pretty much everyone involved with January 6th, so it really is, a time for news.

Yeah, I mean, that was just preposterous. It's a very weird side trend in our politics at the moment, which is progressives trying to unionize everything as if they're coal miners, people who work in congressional offices or newspapers talking about the travails of their day. They need a 32-hour week. But anyway, so an enormous amount happened.
