What I'm confused by is, why didn't they see that earlier? To me, it was a layup for people in...
The consultants that hang out with the Brolligarchs said, you're in a lot of trouble.
I just read the 900 pages of Project 2025, and Trump hates every single one of you.
And he's going to move to break up your companies, and he's going to move to destroy you.
He's going to have a one- to two-year window where he can totally destroy you, your family, and your company.
However, Trump is a transactionalist, so if you show up currying favor, millions of dollars, and Katty knows this because they did this to the Morning Joe guys, they put him in the service entrance at Mar-a-Lago, okay? So Mark Zuckerberg went to see Trump right after the election.
He's waiting for hours in the service entrance, and when he went in there with his cup in his hand, he said, whatever you need, Mr.
because their political consultants told them he's gonna smash your business, okay? So now they're sitting there saying, okay, we had to do that for the first two years.
Now, how are we gonna find our way back? And so the guy that I respect almost more than anybody other than Ken Langone in the world of finance is Jamie Dimon.
Because what did Jamie Dimon say? Jamie Dimon said, I'm not going near the ballroom.
Because people are gonna look at that in one or two years and say, what the hell were you doing? Yes.
But those guys needed to do it, I'm telling you, because they were going to get destroyed by Trump.

And I think what we learned over the past two years is that we learned just how spineless America really is.

I mean, watching a lot of these supposedly powerful people who should be empowered to do whatever they want.
You see, you and I are going to be a lot poorer than those people because we're more principled.
That hopeless equivocation and that unbelievable level of ass kissing and that stupid ruthlessness with no moral center.
