    Look, let me tell you right now, I am sold on Trump. In fact, I'll say this. I think he's got a good shot at going down in history as one of our best presidents ever. That is a real turnaround because you didn't want to vote for him. I told you the reason. I want to tell you, I'm a believer. What I'm seeing happening is absolutely nothing short of a great thing. and there's a beat. People are walking with more bounce in there. It's all around. I gave you quite a bit of grief. Huh? I gave you grief. You gave me grief? I gave you grief when it was a binary choice. You're still complaining about Trump and it was a binary choice. It's like, are you kidding me? Knowledge implies one thing. When you made a mistake, admit it. Okay. I think this guy is turning out to be a president. Right. One of the pilots on that miraculous trip to Iran that we wiped out, whatever the hell we wiped out. He said, you're the only guy in the presidency that would have done what you did. One of the pilots said that. And you know what? He's probably right.
