gh I don't know him. I've never heard him talk. I'm watching me. So if you don't think I'm going to have a problem with him being convicted if that's the way it goes well you're wrong. And there will be consequences. I don't know what they will be but let me just say this to any part of the world that is looking to put this guy away. You better be really careful because this one's not free. You know what I mean? This is not free. And you don't know what the price is yet and we're not going to tell you. You could have to find out. But this one's not free. So let's hope for the best. The golden age is here. I think he's going to get free but if he's not it's going to be expensive one way or another. It's going to get real expensive.

Well the big story of the day. Matt Gaetz bowed out in his bid to be attorney general and Trump cleverly already filled that news cycle by putting up Pam Bondi who was attorney general in Florida and is a close confidant and super loyal, highly qualified. Almost everybody says she has a better choice than Matt Gaetz simply because she doesn't have the baggage but she has even more skill, more experience, more direct experience in that kind of job. So I'm very happy with this.

But here's the other thing. Did we just learn that Trump is not a dictator? I think we did, right? Can we stop talking about that then? Here's what I saw. Now my take on Trump has always been he's the opposite of a dictator. He's actually more tuned into the opinions of the public and other politicians than anybody I've ever seen. So here it didn't look like it was going to work. He tried. He would have pushed it if Matt Gaetz had wanted him to. He would have pushed it which I appreciate just from the loyalty perspective. He returned the loyalty. But Matt Gaetz did a solid. At least that's my interpretation of it. And when he talked to all the politicians who had to vote for him he realized he couldn't get it and he probably didn't want to do the recess appointment thing and just cause a bunch of provocation. And so he decided to back out.

Now so what we get is, so here's the outcome. Number one Gaetz sucked all of the energy in the news cycle toward him for several days so that the other nominees didn't get nearly as much scrutiny. That was probably useful but I don't think it was a plan. It just worked out that way. We found out that Trump can't do anything he wants and he will respond in a reasonable way when he reaches an obstacle that doesn't make sense to try to break it down. So that's a huge win for Trump. It won't be in the news. The news will just ignore the fact that we've now proven beyond shadow of a doubt that Trump does not have dictator powers and it doesn't look like he's trying to. It looks like he was trying to respond to the public because even the Republicans were saying you know not your best play. You know we see why you're doing it. We do want an attack dog in that job but maybe not your best play. And Trump listens to the people, takes Matt Gaetz's recommendation which was also listening to the people and the politicians. And we get what? We get a better candidate. We get some diversity that I think was useful. You know woman in the job that's useful. He gets the same amount of loyalty, higher level of experience, probably will sail through the confirmation. And Matt Gaetz still has other opportunities.

Now we don't know what he's going to do. Some say he's going to run for governor. I don't think so. Some say that he might try to get appointed to senator. I don't think so. Some say that he could just retake the seat he resigned from because he technically resigned from his current seat but he's been elected for a future seat. And I heard this on social media I think it's true that he could just pretend like he didn't quit. You know do a George Costanza and just go to work. Now he might have to go to work after the next term so you'd have a few weeks off for Christmas but it would be hilarious if he just George Costanzas this situation and he just goes to work after everybody thought he quit. I don't know if that's legal but if he got elected and he didn't resign from the upcoming term at least on social media people are saying he can do it. I don't think he will because it would put him right back in that place where the ethics report could come out. So I think he's not going to go back into government right away. He might later.

But here's what I think would be his perfect situation. The
