First of all, the first thing I thought of is what Democrat who cares about his party, what member of either party, let's not make it about Democrats, what member of either party would leave when their party is close to pretty much a tie in the House and endanger that? But also, then I thought, what do you gain from this? Because And again, there's no comment from Moskowitz, right?

At this point, this is all speculation. But assuming that you take a job like this and you say, well, look, rather, to quote Mr. Burns, rather than allowing them to wallow in their own crapulence, you decide to say, look, I'm going to pitch in and help out because it's a really important thing. And if there's a disaster, somebody, you know, respond.

I mean, but that was what every establishment Republican who went to work for Trump in 2016 thought. It did not work. And the other thing is that if you've never worked for a politician, dear listeners, you can't just work part of the street. You can't just say, well, I'm going to be the appointed FEMA head, but I'm going to totally dissent from the president on all these other important issues.

No, once you're an appointee, you are on the team. You are part of the administration. You're part of the team. You defend the president's positions and And if you don't, if you can't, then you have to get out. I mean, I worked for a senator.

I didn't call my, you know, write stuff and give interviews and say, you know, I think the senator's great senator, but boy, his position on this farm bill is just nuts. You know, if you work for the guy, you work for the guy. I understood that idea in 2016 or 2017.

I think that's a really good analogy, Tim. I think she's a good example of that. you know, I tried to defend Berks during the pandemic by saying, look, she's, you know, an appointee, she's an ambassador, she's a career military officer that telling the commander in chief that he's all hosed up doesn't come naturally to a lot of, you know, former military folks. It's not, not part of that culture.
