So I watched some of the hearing today and I saw Ted Cruz talk and I thought Ted Cruz was sensational, you know, in terms of how well he presented a case. I'll tell you, Ted Cruz was not a perfect candidate. Yeah, you know, maybe he'll be better if he tries again later. He seems to be getting better all the time. But as a lawyer he was really good. And then following him was Chris Coons, the Democrat. And Chris Coons was even a little bit better. I thought he was magnificent. Right? So agree with me even if you might have disagreed with them. Wouldn't you say that Ted Cruz did a really solid communication, persuasion, lawyer job of setting out the situation? It was great. But then Coons, the Democrat, who was sort of the rebuttal, I thought he was even a little bit better. He was really, really good. Like for a moment there — it didn't last very long — but for a moment I was proud of my government. Did you feel that if you watched it? Did you have a moment where you watch Ted Cruz do a really smart, classy job and then the Democrat does a rebuttal? It's polite, it's professional, it's smart, it's great. You know, you could agree with one of them or not the other, but those were two smart people doing the people's work. And for a moment I watched these two people and I had respect for my government and it felt good. I liked it. Made me feel great.

And then I tuned back in a little bit later and I watched Cory Booker. And I watched Cory Booker until all of my hope had drained out of my body. Cory Booker compared to Chris Coons — it's Chris I think — or to Ted Cruz is just not on the same level. I mean, he was very passionate and that part's good. You know, that will carry him far. He was an advocate for women and to the degree that that helps him on the Democrat side that was probably effective. But man, he is not good. Well, you know, you put him on a stage with Ted Cruz and with Coons and he's just gonna disappear. So I would say that there isn't the slightest chance you can have President Cory Booker. He just disappears against the smarter folks, frankly.

All right, I do think — I think Kamala — I think, sorry, I got a funny meme from Christina. I do think Kamala Harris has got a — she's a much stronger player. She's smarter. She's got more game in every way. So you know, you may not like her, you may not like her politics, she probably don't, but in terms of persuasion and game and intelligence she seems to have the whole package.
