Why? You know, that's just like Democrats. You're being pussies. You know, you're retreating. What I'm calling for in the last paragraph, I embrace Muhammad Ali's rope-a-dope strategy. Now, no one ever thought Muhammad Ali was a retreater, but he would just bounce around for the first five or six rounds, all right? And then he'd come in and frankly knock you out, all right?

He didn't come out the first round just blasting away. I understand the impulse behind For right now, did you see the event with Senator Schumer and Senator Warren in front of the Treasury Building? Oh, that doesn't scare you to death. I don't know what will. And the time frame I'm talking about is very limited. But the only way you can start this discussion is. is to say, let's do nothing.

Let's play dead. You know what? I was just watching Morning Joe and my dear friend Molly Joan Fast is criticizing me too. I don't give a shit. I threw it out.

All right. First of all, I am convinced that the Democratic House leadership actually has a unified plan to deal with this, particularly on the debt ceiling. And I'm trying to give these guys some cover. I'm trying to say, hey, Hakeem, take your time. I got your back. You know, I know you got a plan because any number of people have called and said, you know, I think we got a pretty good thing.

I think the caucus is is pretty unified on it. And a plan, there's a time to execute it. And I'm just trying to give them cover when they come out. But the reason that the Democratic image is so low is Republicans don't like it, but they never have. I don't like my own party. It lost. Why does a political party exist? It exists to win a fucking election. Well, when you lose it, I'm mad at you.

Okay. And we can't pacify them. You know, they called me and people worked for me, close friends, I'll tell you. How can you say this? This is waving a white flag in front of treason. And how can you do this to us? I'm not saying go. I'm saying it might be mid-March before we really bring, you know, just an artillery in peace and then start firing. Okay. Go ahead.
