And now for a moment of clarity.

Yeah, and with all those things happening, Michael, there's been a lot of discussion about whether we're headed for a constitutional crisis.

But the New York Times, Adam Liptack, writes this, quote.

Legal scholars say that is no longer the right inquiry.

Mr. Trump is already undercutting the separation of powers

at the heart of the constitutional system, they say. And the right question now is, how will it

transform the nation? Are they right about that? Adams is absolutely right. We're here. We've been in it

since, oh gosh, the last last couple months of this administration.

There's only been a couple months of the administration. Right. And not even, I think.

I had to think for a moment there, Chris. It feels a little bit like two years, but yes, it's been two months.

Yeah, I think that reporting is spot on

where we are. Lisa knows this very well from her reporting and coverage of this and seeing

the transformation around these very what would otherwise been pillars of our constitutional

democracy being chipped away at.

And here's the part that is so aggravating and galling to me, and I'm sure to a lot of Americans,

is that our elected current leadership is wholly feckless in both ways,

either not responding and letting it happen, Republican members of the House and Senate,

or not having a clue how to address it and push back against it if you're a member of the Senate

House Democratic caucus.

And that's the frustrating part.

This is now left to the American people exactly where the founders always wanted it to be.

And this country's direction rests in our hands, not in the hands of elected leaders
