I'm sorry, but it's just that there's a... It's fundamentally un-American, but there's also just a flat stupidity to this that says, well, here, I'm going to sign an executive order saying, you know, the words a-n and the no longer operate in this.

Um, I, I, again, I would say that what he got was actually pretty low key. You give it to him and you're going to play hail to the chief and all that stuff because Donald Trump is not the last president of the United States. We don't think we don't, I'm pretty, you know, we're, we're going to hold onto that bet for so far.

I have always argued that the, that we, the institutions and institutions includes the practices, the pageantry, all that stuff blocks to us, the American people. If one man happens to be unworthy of it, and Trump's not the first one not to be worthy of hail to the chief, but he is astonishingly unworthy of it. He's the unworthiest. Unworthy. Andrew Johnson, maybe.

Well, although I suppose if we're going to get into the game of horrible alternatives, that's a good choice, but... But I think we hold on to these things because once they're lost, they're lost forever. And you can't just put them back. And so you grit your teeth through some of this. Are they not lost forever? I don't think so. I take a longer view than that. I don't know.

They're not lost forever yet.

They're not lost forever yet.

They're not lost forever yet.

It's a sham. And I think what a lot of folks are getting wrong about this whole period, you know, like you can see the Democrats now going through the agonizing about how do we talk to people about, you know, eggs and housing costs and policy and everything about this election and this inauguration and this first day tells you it wasn't about policy. None of that stuff really mattered.

That, you know, the best economy in 35 years didn't matter. That this, for a hard core of people, was Trump's project of vindication. The people that were so humiliated by losing in 2020 that they felt like they had to win one to prove it was possible. And vengeance. And Trump now is just going to – none of this stuff is going to help people. I love the executive order he put out.
