And he says to the Klingon, you should beam up the Vulcan to get them off here. And he says, no. And Kirk says, why not? And the commander says, because you wish it. You know, and they're like, you're probably going to have to get rid of Pete Hegseth. No. Why? Because you in the media, because somebody out there that I perceive as my enemy told me to do it.

And therefore, like an eight year old who hates his first grade teacher. My answer is going to be, no, I'm not going to put my scissors away. No, I'm not going to stop eating the paste or whatever the hell it is that they're doing. Now, apparently, some of the damn broke as we've been sitting here talking to.

There's some other things to consider here. One is the guy who obviously should go and who's been, you know, screwing up magnificently for three months is Pete Hegseth. I mean, I think if you went and asked Republican senators, you know, what vote do you regret the most? Hegseth would be right at the top there.

But more to the point, you can fire Mike Waltz, replace him, and not have to go through another Senate confirmation hearing. That's a good point. Look, the National Security Advisor, as Trump learned in his first term, NSA, that's an easy kill, right? You can just push that guy out of the plane and yell next.

And you get another guy there the next day because they're not it is not a totally under control of office. The president is not a Senate confirmable position.

But the reality is the National Security Advisor is whatever the president wants it to be. If he fires Hegseth, he opens up this whole shit show. about who's going to come in, who's going to get past the Senate. Now, somebody made a – I can't remember who it was.
