It has been a wild 24 hours of news. We will talk about the Tucker Carlson firing, the

Don Lemon firing. We will look at new interviews from Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump showing what

of that right now. Much of this is driven. I think by two things, Joe Biden's age and again,

the fact that he once did pitch himself as a bridge as a transitional president, who might only

serve for one term. If any of those scenarios happen, we are going to have time to discuss and to
