3-19-25 - 7am - Schumer on The View and Dems Poll Numbers

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
According to court documents released in nineteen ninety seven. Back
in nineteen eighty five, Joe Biden supposedly threatened to kidnap
JFK Junior, and JFK Junior had called Biden a trader.
I think that is so revealing, Biden being called a

(00:21):
trader by John F. Kennedy Junior.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
So they did release the JFK files yesterday, and I
went to the National Archives. It's interesting what they've done.
I'm not yet convinced that they released everything, but nonetheless
I skimmed through eighty thousand pages. So when I say skim,
I mean I looked at like I looked at like
three or four pages. But on my X feed again,

(00:50):
which is why you should be following me on ex
at Michael Brown USA. Go do that right now at
Michael Brown USA. Someone had posted that document in which
there it was the FBI. I forget the form, but
in some form the FBI does. Maybe it was a
memo I forget, but anyway, there was this FBI form
or memo in which when I first read it, I thought,

(01:10):
wait a minute, this is fake, because I thought they
were referring to JFK, not John F. Kennedy Junior. But
it does make a notation something to the effect that
they have a an envelope hand addressed to Biden Senate
office at the US Capitol. And then they're in the
next part of the note, it says and it's a

(01:33):
handwritten note from John F. Kennedy Junior, in which he
calls Senator Biden a trader. I just thought it was funny.
So somebody you know that, somebody. This is why I'm
not going to waste any time doing it. It's all
these PDFs, and you never know what you're going to get,

(01:53):
and then when you do open it, I think even
if you got really great eyes like dragon, you still
got you still have to blow up the PDF to
be able to read it. And then it's old like
it's typewriters. Remember do you remember a typewriter? Sol So one.
I don't really collect old typewriters, but I have like

(02:14):
four old typewriters. My great grandmother was worked in a
in a newspaper office in Mullinville, Kansas, and I've got
that typewriter. And then my uh my grandmother, not great
grand but my dad's mom had a typewriter that she
used in her drypening business. I've got that old typewriter,

(02:37):
and then my dad had a couple of He had
his typewriter that used in high school, and then he
hasn't had another old type. So I got like four
old antique, you know, riven typewriters, and uh, it's like
going back and looking at it reminds you of that.
I can remember even ah of the when we got
the first word processor, you know, like the first doc

(03:00):
came out and you could do word processing and my
word perfect was what lawyers used. Oh my gosh, it
was wonderful. You could format and typing do so all.
Oh I've lived in two worlds, dragging, two worlds you've
never known, but one of the Stone Age in the
modern age, you know, shove it up your butt, Just
shove it up your butt. Anyway, somebody's going to go

(03:23):
through all of those and somebody will summarize and somebody
will do all of that. But it's not going to
be me. I've got better things to do, like take
a nap. I don't know anything other than reading all
all those finals and trying to decipher everybody's he and
they've got hand. Of course, the FBI has handwritten notes
in all the margins and everything, and trying to read
all of that is like trying to read my handwriting.
Good grief. All right, let's go back to Chuck Schumer.

(03:45):
So this is about Chuck Schumer. Now, remember he goes
on the View, and I think it's important to understand
of all the play. I mean, Chuck Schumer, he's the
sin of Minority Leader. He could go on all of
the Sunday shows. He could go on Fox News. He
could go do Special Report with Brett bar he could
go with Laura Ingram. He can you go on with anybody?

(04:08):
He could obviously go to MSNBC or CNN, the Joe
Rogan podcast. He could do the Joe Rogan podcast. Why
if Chuck Schumer's office called and said he'd like to
come on this program, I'd even talk to Chuck Schumer
right here on this program. But that ain't gonna happen,
So I'm not worried about it. Why would he choose
the View? No, not because of Whoope or Joey Behar

(04:29):
or whoever the other idiots are on that show. He
went on the View for the audience. He went on
the View because he knew he had useful idiots. Now
I can't say that they're all useful idiots in the
audience because if Dragon and I were in New York
for you know, we were there for an iHeart meeting,

(04:50):
and I said, Dragon, let's get tickets and go to
the view, I think Dragon would go with me, and
I think he and I would go to the view
and we would sit in the audience and we would
probably get kicked out. We would have fun watching the view.
We could sit there, bring your own popcorn, diet cokes
and we could sit there. Or maybe they'll you know,

(05:11):
mini bottles of keep. Well you don't drink. Well, first
i'd question your sanity here.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
You gotta stick the view.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
I was like.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
What And then you go, ooh, that may be that
coul That could be fun, maybe entertaining for a few minutes.
Well we could always leave, true, yeah, we could always leave,
But I don't know. Maybe they don't let you leave.
Maybe maybe they locked the doors because they don't want
people leaving. So he went for the useful idiots, and
what does he do? And you know what their attitude is?

(05:40):
Now you want to watch this, By the way, this
is up at Michael says, go here dot com. Oh
thank you. I was gonna say the Media Research Center,
but you've already got it. Uh So anyway, MRC's got
it up. They they picked the best part because he's
got his glasses down over his nose as usual. He's

(06:02):
glaring at the audience and he's talking about well, he's
talking about you. Yes, he's not talking to the seals
in the audience. He's talking to them about you. Because
when he says, and you know what their attitude is,
you know what? You know what their attitude is. Those
people that go out there and create jobs, those people
that go out there and sell you, you know that run

(06:26):
modega's the people that go out there and you know,
are working in their bets off all day long. They're
doing construction work or whatever whatever they're doing. Those people.

Speaker 5 (06:37):
I made my money all by myself. How dare your
government take my money from me. I don't want to
pay taxes or I built my company with my bare hands.
How dare your government tell me how I should treat
my customers the land and water that I own.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah, let me back up here, because they need to
go to break, and they got a herd break and
we'll be starting to like starting to signal like, you know,
we gotta stop. And the music. Listen to the music
in the background. It's hilarious.

Speaker 5 (07:11):
There's the land in order water that I own for
my employees. They hate governments. Government's a barrier to people,
the barrier to stop them from doing things.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
They want to destroy it. We are not letting them
do it. And we're united. Oh, we're not gonna let
them destroy the government. Nobody's trying to destroy the government.
We're trying to downsize it. We're trying to make it fit. Now,
why why why is he under attack? Why is Alexandria,
Cassia Cortez and all these people really coming out and

(07:45):
just attacking Chuck Schumer. Well, because he made a horrible mistake. Uh,
he decided that he was going to support the Continuing
Continuing resolution that oh the Republublicans were doing that. How
bad is it for Chuck Schumer. Let's go back to

(08:09):
the view the governor.

Speaker 6 (08:11):
Pritzker's chief of staff, Anna Ann Caprera, has set the following.
The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now
is not between hard left, right and moderate It's between
those who want to fight and those who want to cave.
And it gives me no pleasure to say this to
you because we are friends.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
But I think you caved.

Speaker 6 (08:29):
I think you and nine other Democrats cave. I don't
think you showed the fight that this party needs right
now because you're playing with by a rule book where
the other party has thrown.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
That rule book away.

Speaker 6 (08:39):
True, and so in my view, what you did really
was is supporting.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
I just need to pause for a moment. Let that
sink in. We threw away the rule book when it
came to the continuing resolution. We followed the rule book
by exactly the same standards that the Democrats always use
the rule book. And we needed we needed two thirds

(09:07):
to invote cloture to stop debate so they could actually
vote on the bill. And that's what Chuck you did,
and did it by the rules.

Speaker 6 (09:15):
Supporting that gop partisan bill that Democrats had no input in.
He cleared the way for Donald Trump and Elam Why.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Are they suddenly concerned about Democrats having input into a
Republican bill when Republicans never have input into Democrat bills
when the Democrats are in charge. Way, Because because obviously
there's a double standard. This is how bad a politics
have become must.

Speaker 6 (09:42):
To gut social Security, to gut Medicare, to gut medicaid.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Lies, lies, lies.

Speaker 6 (09:49):
Why did you lead Democratic senators to play by that
book that the Republicans.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Are not playing by it?

Speaker 5 (09:54):
They first, I say, Sonny, no one wants to fight
more than me, and no one fights more than me.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
You gotta fight smart. It is not true.

Speaker 5 (10:01):
That bill had far less. It was bad, I hated it,
but it does far less damage to social Security. Medicare
Medicaid are far more susceptible.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
To being eliminated, which is what that horrible Musk.

Speaker 5 (10:16):
Can you imagine this guy Musk, a billionaire, saying eleven
thousand dollars eleven hundred dollars for a senior citizen is
not necessary.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Well, it is a Ponzi scheme. But no one. Why
do they continue the mantra about that Trump and Musk
want to eliminate Social Security. They don't. They want to
make social Security more efficient. They want to get rid
of the waste, fraud, and abuse. I think the Democrats
actually like the waist, frawden abuse. I think they like

(10:47):
the inefficiency. I think they they want look if there
are so many places where you can find examples of
if you take what for example, you can go onto
your Social Security account and you can see the total
amount you've paid in all the way back from your
very first job, when you first you know, had a

(11:08):
W four and you got a W two for working somewhere,
you can see how much you paid in. Now, take
that dollar amount from the day that you started and
calculate that if as if you had invested it into
just say the S and P an index fund, just
you know, just a mutual fund that just follows the

(11:29):
S and P, and look at the millions you would
have as opposed to the hundreds of thousands of dollars
you might get paid out back to you. It is
a Ponzi scheme, and we do need to reform it,
but nobody's saying that anybody that's currently on it shouldn't

(11:50):
get the benefits that they've worked and are entitled to.

Speaker 5 (11:54):
Well, there are many fewer cuts in that building that
would be in a shutdown. It was a bad test,
so we got yes, they exist. But if you have
if you have two choices, one bad, the other devastating.
One chops off one of your fingers, the other chops
off your arm. So I want to fight, and we
are fighting. We're going to fight every day on this

(12:15):
every day. Today we're fighting them on Medicaid.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Tomorrow, we're going to.

Speaker 5 (12:18):
Fight them on you know, the next few days on Paris.
We're going to fight them on socials with thirty. But
I want to win and fight smart, not just I understand.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
We want to stick it to them. Okay, they want
to stick it to you. He actually wants to stick
it to you. Just think about that. Now, it's not
just Chuck who's upset the socialist Bertie Sanders I'm seeing in.

Speaker 7 (12:47):
When it comes to that effort in the Senate. Do
you think Senator Chuck Shamer is the right person.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
To lead it?

Speaker 3 (12:54):
That's not I know, everyone's beating up on chocolate our shrug.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
You disagree with them.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
No one who's in the caucus more critical of Shuma
than I am. But it's not Tuma. It's the caucus.
It's not the caucus, it's the Democratic Party. So you
got to take a deep breath and understand that you
have a Democratic party. You know, you got a Republican
party which is owned by Musk. Any Republican who.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Did you know what Musk owns the Republican Party. Yeah,
I saw the invoice. He bought it.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
Yeah, the fi's Donald Trump will be primaried by must
unlimited amounts of money. In the Democratic Party.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
You've got a party, you know, like George Soros. I mean,
it's okay for sorrows to you have money, But when
Musk is money, that's that's buying somebody off.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
That is heavily dominated by the billionaire class, run by
consultants who are way out of touch with reality.

Speaker 8 (13:44):
It has.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
The Democratic Party has virtually no grassroots support. So what
we are trying to do is in one way or another,
maybe you create a party within the Party of bringing
millions of young people, working class people, people of color
to demand that the Democratic Party starts standing with the
working class of this country and take on the very

(14:05):
powerful corporate in trusts that.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Have never had it so good.

Speaker 7 (14:08):
You've been out on the road hearing that from voters.
With Congresswoman Alexandria Cosso Cortez, as you mentioned, people are
saying she should primary sumer. Do you think she'd be
a formidable opponent if she did.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
I don't want to go. Look.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
Look, the issue right now is not worrying about a
primary three years ago, three years from now, whatever it's
going to be. That's media stuff, Caitlin, That's not what
people are worried about.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Default probably do now is wake up.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
What we have got to do now is wake up
the American people. The vast majority of the American people
do not believe that we should give tax breaks to
billion ads and cut medicaid, cut social security, cut veterans
programs and nutrition. And our job is to rally the
people at the grassroots level, have them run for school,
wad to Congress or the Senate on an agenda that

(14:55):
says that we're going to stand up for working class
people dot, the rich dot.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
In other words, what they really are all about are
is Marxism and communism, and they want to go out
and recruit people like Alexandria Cossi and Cortez and him
to go out and and run for office for the
working people, the working the sea. How could we phrase
that the Working People's Party or maybe just the Communist

(15:23):
Party USA. Just have them go do it, which begs
the question, really begs the question, how do we as
Republicans capitalize on the weakness of the Republic of the
Democrat Party right now, and in particular they're titular head
Chuck Schumer because mainly, who is the leader of the
Democrat Party. It's got to be Chuck Schumer's. It's not

(15:47):
a king Jeffreys. So when you look at Schumer's failed
bet last week, it's pretty obvious. I mean it's also
pretty predictable too. Now. The flub that he did really
has had an outside impact in prompting what is truly

(16:08):
open warfare among the Democrats about whether they need to
move away from Chuck Schumer. There's a leftist activist group
called Indivisible. They've actually started calling for Schumer to step down.
That's the first crack in the damn. He needs to
be replaced, they say, with quote, a minority leader who's
up for the fight this moment, demands. Josh Shapiro, who

(16:32):
is probably the most electable Democrat right now, went on
Bill Maher's show last week to criticize Schumer's misuse of
legislative leverage. And then, of course, Simone Sanders over at
MSNBC announced publicly live on air that she was going
to quit the Democrat Party, which always made me wonder

(16:54):
where you're going to go? Are you going to go
to the People's Party, You're going to go to the
communist part where you going to go? So all of
this consternation, all this disarrated among the Democrats, they're actually
experiencing historic new loos in party favorability. Both NBC and
CNN show the dire state of affairs for the Democrats,

(17:16):
and the numbers are amazing. Now, I find it, from
a political science point of view, incredibly interesting and it's
an opportunity, but we shouldn't get too excited about it. Michael,
hasn't John F.

Speaker 7 (17:35):
Kennedy Junior been dead for I don't know, fifteen twenty
years something like that day?

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Totally. Yeah, this letter was done like in I have
to go back and look, but it's done long before
he died in that plane crash.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
I think the talkbacker previously that said it was eighty
five or eighty seven.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
And yes, JFK Junior died in nineteen ninety nine. Yeah,
so yeah, pay attention, people, pay attention. So anyway, let's
go back to these These numbers are fascinating and they're
they're fun to think about, but there's a serious side

(18:20):
to it too. So NBC and it's important to note
to the poll NBC and CNN, so they're prone to
not publish these kinds of numbers. For NBC, just over
a quarter of registered voters, twenty seven percent say they
have positive views of the party, the Democrats, which is

(18:42):
the party's lowest positive rating in NBC News polling dating
back to nineteen ninety Only seven percent say those views
are very positive, So they're totally the tank. When it
comes to favorability and approval rate CNN among the American

(19:03):
public overall, the Democratic Party's favorability rating stands at just
twenty nine percent, right in line with an NBC po
a record low in CNN's polling dating back to nineteen
ninety two, almost almost exactly like the NBC pole, and
a drop of twenty points since January of twenty one,

(19:24):
when Trump exited his first term under the shuttle of
the January sixth attack on the Capitol, says CNN. Now
those look bad, and they look even worse when you
realize the polls were taken entirely before Schumer's pereret along
with other Democrats to off the government shut down, a

(19:45):
move that obviously is not going to play well with
Democrat voters. Who already thought the problem was that they're
not fighting Trump hard enough. Of all people, John Hickenlooper,
excuse me summarize the mood of around the shutdown. He

(20:07):
was full of despair. He Nickenlooper was full of despair. Well,
actually he might be speaking for the entire party right now.
But here's the problem. Here's where I give here's or
you need to get serious about this. If the Republic's
going to maximize this opportunity, which they have a very
short window to do. I know, I can't believe we're

(20:29):
already talking about midterms, but the midterms are just you know,
a couple of years away. So they're going to have
to resist the timidation to slow down. What was we
going to talk back at the very somewhere at the
very beginning of the program about it may be our
friend from from the Dakotas talking about how let's see

(20:51):
Musk save the astronauts, and Trump did this, and Trump
did that, and the Republicans did this, and there's just
another day ending and why just another Tuesday. Well, not
only can you not slow down, but we're going to
have to start seeing results. And that's where once again

(21:13):
Trump and I recognize and we're going to talk about
this in a minute too. How Trump is pushing the
power of the executive literally pushing the envelope over to
the edge of the console. I don't think he'll push
it off the edge, but he's getting pretty close. And
that's fine with me. But it's time for the Congress

(21:33):
to step up. It's a limited window in order to
stick to their what's really an ambitious agenda that's surrounded
by all these threats and all these risks. They Republicans
cannot afford to assume that the other side is going
to maintain this kind of disarray as they get closer

(21:55):
and closer to the midterms. Cracks always emerge in coalition
as events emerge, and I don't think any Republican ought
to be underestimating the ability of their party to screw
up in key moments. You know, Caldera always talks about
how always jokes, but he's serious about it too, and
I agree with him about how the Republicans always manage

(22:18):
somehow to snatch de feed out of the jaws of victory,
and we always managed to shoot ourselves in the foot.
Stupid Republican Party in Colorado's got a fully automatic weapon
shooting themselves. They're in a full fire circle firing squad
right now. So that's why getting it right in this

(22:42):
moment is so critical. You have to move fast when
numbers are like this before it inevitable shifts again, which
it will, which then begs the question, so what does
that mean needs to be done? Okay, let's start with those.
Those has been incredibly successful in pointing out the waste, fraud,

(23:05):
and abuse, and the President has been fairly successful in
eliminating the bureaucracy, starting to fire people, starting to lay
people off. Now I know he's fighting in the courts.
We'll talk about that in a second. But cong where's Congress?

(23:25):
Can you tell me, honestly what Congress has done? Now,
they kept the government open, but they kept the government
open at spending levels that are equal to what the
Biden budgets were. So they didn't oh they can we
cut here, we cut there, but they still increase spending.
They still increase spending at the same time. See, there's

(23:47):
this whole shell game going on right now. So Trump's
over here doing exactly what he said he would do,
and the Congress is over here playing games. So while
Trump may slash USAID or or Linda McMahon might slash
this program or that program in the Department of Education.

(24:09):
The one place, the one exception I would say where
there is probably more effective cutting, slashing and revising everything
which is going to have a long term effect and
a wide ranging effect, is Lee's elden at EPA. I
think Lee's elden at EPA is doing more. They will

(24:32):
have a long term effect because he's basically saying he's
taking on, for example, the whole idea of that CO
two is a pollutant. Well, that's the very basis for
almost all the regulations imposed by the EPA. He is
virtually upending all of those regulations. Now in Colorado, we

(24:54):
talked about Last Hour or whenever it was, about the
stupid Building Decarbonization Enterprise or whatever it was called, where
they're still trying to force building owners of building more
than fifty thousand square feet of meeting a carbon emission
reduction of seven percent or whatever it was by next year.

(25:15):
This is simply impossible to do without spending hordes of
money on futile efforts to reduce something that not hurting anybody.
And even if you want to claim that additional CO
two in the atmosphere is causing the planet to warm

(25:35):
a little bit. Let's just accept that premise. That amount
of CO two, the parts per million that's in the
atmosphere right now, is still thousands percent less than what
it was a thousand years ago. So we're chasing this
foolish idea. We got to change these things. Lee's Elden
is actually making those changes at the federal level. That

(26:00):
will mean at the local level, or I should say
at the state level, to be more precise, I don't
really know, and I'm not sure that Colorado will change anything,
but changing at the federal level is a major step
in the right direction. Now, what could Congress do. Congress
could start resending money. Also, Congress could actually start looking at, okay,

(26:23):
the waste, the fraud, and the abuse that Doge has
pointed out. Why don't we actually go back and revisit
those appropriations, and why don't we actually go back and
say just pick DHS because I despise Department of Homeland Security,
why don't we just take DHS and say we're going

(26:45):
to deauthorize I don't know ten percent of the people
working in DHS, I don't care. I don't really care
what the percentage is cut it. That would that would
show the markets, that would show in terms of consumer confidence,

(27:05):
he would show in terms of the cabal. It would
show in terms of all of these things that we
worry about out here outside Washington, d C. That oh,
they're actually doing something. Now, don't misunderstand me. I think
that exposing the waste, fraud and abuse is a major
step forward, but that's only the first step. The next

(27:27):
step is now actually Congress, who controls the purse strings,
doing something about it. And while I think at this
point we can actually expand our majorities in the midterms,
we can go against the historical track record that shows
the party in power always loses seats in the midterms.

(27:50):
I think the very fact that Trump is doing what
he said he would do, and that people are going
to be running on continuing that, I think that historical
trend will be inverted in two years. Now. You can
mark the tape and come back and prove me wrong.
But I think today I think that's where we stand.

(28:14):
So now it's up to Congress step in and say, okay, well,
we're going to show you that we not only support
what Trump is doing and exposing. But we're going to
take action to act to actually eliminate that spending. Past
the tax cuts now past them now while you've got

(28:35):
the cr again. Who cares. I know that Trump talks
about one big beautiful bill, and I understand why he
does that. I think it's unrealistic. I think it's unrealistic
because it's going to take because we don't have enough
votes in the Senate to stop debate to vote cloture

(28:57):
unless once again Schumer callses. So work on the tax
cuts alone. Make sure that's in place, because if you
fail to do that, that's a seven trillion dollar additional
financial burden on businesses and individuals and for that matter,

(29:19):
just the private sector in general.

Speaker 4 (29:21):
So come on, Republicans, get your ock together, Michael. I
don't like the big beautiful bill. I think it's more
important that things don't get buried, that they get pulled out,
they get pronounced, and Congress takes action on every one.

Speaker 8 (29:33):
Of the things. Does is closing. If they close the loophole,
make the loophole permanent with one single bill, Make the
Democrats sit there and say no, no, no, no no
to a bunch of common sense, simple straightening out bills exactly.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
And that's why it seems to me that in I
understand having been inside the belt Way, that there are
things that I don't know and you don't know that
they're having to deal with in order to get legislation through.

(30:11):
It could be a rogue senator. And I'm not talking
about Democrats. I'm playing by Republicans. That's you know, that
has a gee. I can't say that, but they they
have they have a physical attribute, let's say, between their legs,
that they just won't let go of something that they
want to get done. That is in this scheme of

(30:34):
things minor. But that's where the speaker needs to step in.
That's where the speaker needs to be a tour to
force his per Look, he seems like a really nice guy,
and I'm not at all advocating that we throw him out,
but he's got to grow a set and he's got

(30:55):
to say, Okay, look guys, and when I say guys,
I mean women too. He needs to say to his caucus,
just as thone needs to say in the Senate. Doze
exposed this today. Let's not waste time on hearings. Let's
look at what Doge has exposed, and let's resend that program.

(31:18):
Now that I know, I'm drinking tequila too early in
the morning, But that would mean that staff would have
to draft a bill rescinding that program, resending the appropriation,
and they would have to you know, wave debate, they
would have to get it to the floor and then

(31:39):
vote on it. Well, the Speaker has the power to

And that remember on let's just say Thursday, March twenty,
we're going to vote on a bill, bill number whatever
it is. This going to eliminate whatever the program is

(32:22):
in the Department of ED or we're going to force
Social Security to maybe even you know, spend some money
and force the Social Security administration HHS to actually upgrade
the computer systems at the same time that we expect
you to eliminate all of the people over the age

of two hundred that you've got in your system. Vote
on that bill. Let's see some legislation doing it, because
that will have a ripple effect. It's it's like, I'm
not a runner, but I do understand the effects of
adrenaline and the effects of your the hormones in your

(33:10):
body when you start exercising and you kind of get
that second wind, you kind of get that feeling of
almost euphoria of I'm actually doing something. They would feel that,
and all of us out here would see it too,
and that would improve consumer confidence. They would improve the markets.
They would show that we're actually going to do what
we're talking about. Trump's pulling all the weight right now.

(33:35):
