EMILY JASHINSKY (HOST): Steve in Atlanta, you're on The Megyn Kelly Wrap-Up Show. What have you got?

CALLER: Hey, thanks for taking my call.

JASHINSKY: Yeah, thanks for calling.

CALLER: Yeah, yeah, no problem. I'm a veteran and I'm as conservative as the as they come. I support most of what Trump does, almost everything. I love the way they went in and took care of business, but, you know, running the government scares the hell out of me. I don't really feel good about that anywhere, and I just think it, you know -- it just gives too many opportunities to make mistakes.

JASHINSKY: Yeah. And Steve, does your experience serving kind of inform the way that you're thinking about this?

CALLER: Not really. You know, I was never in a situation where I had to get involved in something like that. But just, you know, history tells me that, you know, trying to run another government is a very, very difficult thing to do. And, you know, it just gives the people, you know, the haters more ammunition. You know, you're going to make mistakes trying to run another country, and it just gives them tons of ammunition to come after you with.

JASHINSKY: Steve, thank you so much for the call. I really appreciate that.
