I was delivering some deadpan commentary. So if you're |
| 0:30.5 | wondering if I'm joking, I am. We were talking about how the Trump administration, which is |
| 0:36.8 | supposed to be meritocratic, has hired some of the |
| 0:39.9 | most incompetent people imaginable to run very serious government offices. It's like a Trump E.I or FoxEI or |
