Let's get right into it. And by the way, I'm really happy that you're here and, you know, and I think you're a terrific, terrific journalist. But right now, my concern is, I have a couple of concerns. One is Donald Trump in this executive order to try to steal the election, you know, with the over, he wants to be in charge of mail-in voting. And then we're looking at what's happening.

They're trying to just, I don't know, I guess demolish the 14th Amendment and birthright citizenship

concerning. And he's there, I guess, an intimidation tactic to, you know, try to intimidate

the justices. Where do you fall on these issues? Because I think the 14th Amendment is pretty

huge and, you know, keeping control of elections to the states, that's also a pretty big issue.

Short-term risk and long-term risk here, Don. The short-term risk is minimal. The Supreme Court is giving

no indication they're going to rule in his favor based on the arguments today. And every even-minded,

even keeled analysis of this case is that it's a loser for the Trump administration.

And let's put that aside for a moment. And the executive order on mail-in voting, I had one

election security expert tell me, it's hilariously stupid that

it's if you and I were to jot down notes on a cocktail napkin with a crayon, we'd have just as much

ability to change how states do their mail on voting and that Trump might as well try to outlaw

gravity through an executive order. It's just not going to work. So the short-term prospects

look terrible for him on both of those fronts. Long-term, though, Don, I think there's a real risk.

I think these are seeds he's planting for post-election challenges. Doesn't like the results

of the midterm elections. He will unilaterally or through his executive powers try to find some way to force an overturning of the results using these types of things as his argument that there should have been better patrolling protections against mail-in voting fraud and that the right citizenship planted millions of fraudulent votes around the

country totally baseless but could be mechanized post-November yeah so if you're watching us now
