Welcome to the Bull of Work podcast. I'm Charlie. It's like, it is Friday the 13th.

Now, I'm not going to say that I'm superstitious, but when I got up today, I had to ask myself

what could go wrong today. But then I realized I asked myself that every single day.

Right? Joining me on today's podcast, Michael Steele. Welcome back, Michael.

It's good to be back with you, Charlie. I have a variation on that theme when I get up

every day. Instead of asking what could go wrong today, I just simply ask, who can I piss

off today? Oh, well, then virtually every day is like mine to kind of success.

Exactly.

Okay. So for people who, I mean, for the one or two of you who don't know, Michael Steele

is a former chair of the Republican National Committee. Don't blame him. He was Lieutenant

Governor of Maryland, an political analyst for MSNBC also hosts the Michael Steele podcast.

So he is no stranger to podcasts. You know, there's so much to talk about today, Michael.

And this week, which felt very, very long, is also a reminder how fast things move in politics

that one week in politics can be a lifetime, which just as a reminder for people who assume

they know what's going to happen, a year from now or two years from now, think about

this week. Think about, I'm sorry to say, use the word vibe this early in the morning.
