Hi, it's Mike. It's a Saturday. It's a Saturday show. I should have had another word. It's a Saturday show. Yay. We do one from the vault and one from the week. And the one from the week is what I started the show. Just a little bit of a free form worry. Wanted to put my marker down saying there was like, I don't know, 35, 40% chance that this Trump guy might not just shuffle off the stage if he doesn't first do that same verb via the mortal coil.

But you just look at all these initiatives, all these plans, plans that won't come to fruition for a few years. And you ask yourself, is he the kind of

guy to let someone else get the credit or just let the plans expire based on a rival,

beating him all fair and square. Anyway, I put my thoughts together. You know who else has been

having these thoughts and these worries? Well, his name is anonymous or was back in 2018. And then we booked him on the show. He's a guy named Miles Taylor. And I'm not here to give you homework, but he will be coming on the show in the next week or two. I know this because I taped the interview already. A little peek behind the curtain. I don't like when they say under the

kimono. I think it's wrong. I think it's both lascivious and strangely a little ethnically

insensitive. I can't explain why. But that was the peak behind the very Western, very non-gendered

curtain that we already taped an interview with Miles Taylor, a new interview

based on his new worries and his newly ruined life. But I'm going to play you an old interview

we did from years ago when he was experiencing a newly ruined life having come out as anonymous. Turns out that going up against

Trump when you're trying to live and work in Washington, D.C., is not the growth industry

we had thought. I don't know. Maybe if you've got a substack or if you're a former Washington

Post person claiming martyrdom, which may or may not be true,

maybe they're in good stead, but not poor Miles Taylor.

So an old interview with him, maybe to get you oriented for the interview, we're going to air soon,

and some general worries about this Trump guy, not entirely on the up and up.

There's a chance.

I'm saying there's a chance.

You know what I'm worried about as concerns Donald Trump?

Well, you know, besides the venality, the lawlessness, the total disregard for the Constitution, really not even understanding it or knowing it exists.

It's this.

Many of his plans have a time frame for implementation far beyond the three more years, three
