thing, don, which is mcconnell. and, you know, trump ran as an anti-establishment candidate. mcconnell is the ultimate establishment man, as mark pointed out, he needs mcconnell to some degree. but he loves having steve bannon out there strutting around in his johnny cash outfit threatening to gun everyone down and calling mcconnell cesar and calling for brutases to step up and do away with him and so on. he knows that he's got a gun cocked at mcconnell, figuratively speaking. in this day and age i shouldn't use that language. but he's got this implicit threat that bannon represents. so if i'm mcconnell i'm standing up there feeling deeply uncomfortable with trump says bannon is a friend of mine and he's doing what he thinks is right because there's a game being run here and mitch mcconnell is caught in the vice. >> thank you so much. i appreciate it. >> don -- >> i've got to go.
