Hey, everybody, it's Mary Trump here with my friend and fellow nerd avenger and journalist extraordinaire, Brian Karam.

Brian, hi.

Hi.

Hi. Good to see you. You're looking good.

Good to see you too. You're looking good.

You actually got a little bit of downtime last couple of weeks, so I'm glad for you because it's been insane. This week has, you know,

I'm trying to tell me what you think about this. We are living in very difficult, dark,

troubling times, and it feels like there are no weekends anymore. There is, there literally is no downtime.

And it often feels like that one week is worse than the one that preceded it.

And I know sometimes that objectively can't be true.

This week feels like it was, but at the same time, isn't part of the exhaustion and the

difficulty in grappling and processing that it's cumulative? I think you said something at the

very beginning of Donald Trump's new era of presidency, his new regime.

You said there's no worst with Donald.

It gets worse every day.

Yeah.

There is a cumulative effect, but quite honestly, he presses the norms.

He stretches them out every damn day.

I've been working on a documentary and I can't get it done. It's on the first

100 days of Donald Trump just trying to, trying to bring, I don't recognize this country today.

Yeah. From where it was just a year ago. Yeah. It's not, it's not the same. And anybody who

pretends it is either had their heads stuck under a, you know, a rock or their or their lips permanently attached to Donald Trump's political posterior.
