| 0:00.0 | Donald's second term has been defined by rapid whiplash-inducing reversals. |
| 0:15.3 | Proposals and decisions are announced, reactions come in, and then policies are pulled back almost immediately. |
| 0:23.2 | Sometimes this is because Donald, in pushing the envelope, realizes that what he thinks is a good |
| 0:30.3 | idea is rejected by his base. More often, it's because he chickens out. You know the expression. De Taco, the D. |
| 0:40.6 | D.A. Donald always chickens out. So I want to go through some of the major policy flips and |
| 0:48.7 | reversals that are increasingly head spinning while also being increasingly consequential for our country. |

| 1:41.7 | We will clear the roads to get you to the airport. I will come over |
| 1:45.0 | and pack your damn bags if that's what it takes. But I think it does answer the question. And again, |
| 1:50.4 | this is a trust but verify. I am skeptically optimistic. I have no reason to not believe that |
| 1:56.0 | when Tom Oman said they will be gone almost immediately. So it would be my expectation, I think, you know, |
| 2:02.2 | certainly by the middle of next week, this is back to the to the 150. So yeah. |
| 2:08.1 | I have no reason not to believe the word of a proven liar. Really? And this is the problem |
