repeatedly, not a second term of the current administration, the next administration. who s that going to be? it could be terry bradshaw. maybe terry bradshaw will be running the next administration? i don t know. i mean, it could be mitt romney? it s probably going to be joe biden. it s okay. mitch, you can say it, the biden administration. it s okay. donald trump can t fire you by tweet. but you know, we are getting to a point and i said at the beginning when mitch tweeted out that he tweeted out that we were going to go through the process, all the votes needed ton couto be counted, we need to count the legal votes, court challenges. i agree, that s legitimate to say, and willie, that s what we do here in the united states of america. but at this point, it s a giant giuliani grift. he got laughed out of court yesterday in pennsylvania. something went on in wayne county last night we ll talk about later. a lot. i mean, just talk about people literally trying to di
