Hey, everybody. It's Tim Miller on the board takes feed with managing editor Sam Stein.

I am taking the wheel as the driver of this bulwark take because Sam was just having a meltdown like I've never seen in the great room.

Bill O'Reilly style meltdown over his audio and visual networking, cussing.

It was truly magical. I wish we had recorded it for you guys.

What are you supposed to do when

every bit of audio just doesn't work other than just go crazy and i went crazy and i just haven't seen

you lose your cool like that sometimes you know and uh and it's good to know it's in there you know

once in a while people are like so sam isn't mad enough and it's usually not your nature. You're an even keel guy. So it's good to know. I try to be. But when your external headphones and then the plug-ins don't work, just can set someone off, I guess. Because you know that you're a man like everyone else. You breathe. You've got blood pumping through your veins. Okay. Donald Trump, not a man like everyone else.

What a segue. In the Oval Office today,

gold tie, strangely, very strange, out of his normal uniform.

And he was there with the vice president,

J.D. Vance as well. They took some Q&A, some hard-hitting questions from Peter Ducey at Fox News and others.

And I guess, there were three clips in particular we wanted to talk about. But overall, I was on Nicole as this was happening.

And I noticed something come in from my friend

John Lovett over at Cricket Media, who was just like, anyone who thinks that we should fund this man's war,

like must be forced to watch this whole press conference clockwork orange style, because it just betrays

somebody that does not have any connection with the real world.

And that's pretty concerning, given the stakes here.

What part said, love it off?

Because there was like five.

I don't know.

I'm curious.
