The reason you're seeing so much attention to it today is that they think this is going to be what brings down the President. That's what this is all about, i got a note today from a reporter saying 'What are you going to do today to calm the markets?' I'm like, really, what I might do today to calm the markets is tell people to turn off their televisions for 24 hours.
