WEBVTT - George Conway & Dr. Abdul El-Sayed 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:04.160 Hi, I'm Molly John Fast and this is Fast Politics, 0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:07.120 where we discussed the top political headlines with some of 0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:10.799 today's best minds and a shocking new poll from Atlas 0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:14.600 Intel has Marco Rubio at forty five percent compared to JD. 0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:18.560 Evans at thirty percent in the twenty twenty eight Republican 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.080 primary polling. We have such a great show for you today. 0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:26.680 New York's twelfth District's congressional candidate George Conway Stopspy to 0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:30.360 talk about Trump's derangemental state. Then we'll talk to Michigan 0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:34.720 Senate candidate in the Democratic primary, Doctor Abdul al said 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.559 about why he is the right candidate for Senate in Michigan. 0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:40.680 But first the news, Sami. 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:43.600 We have had some wage games in this country because 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:46.280 we've had a great run of the economy for quite 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:50.000 a long time, and the inflation of Donald Trump's presidency 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:50.919 has wiped them all up. 0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:54.440 Now, this is the line I would say, Donald Trump 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:58.360 has made inflation higher. The guy who you elected to 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:02.240 make inflation lower has made it higher. And how has 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:05.120 he done it well? It has taken a lot of 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.760 stupid over the last eighteen months to get here. But 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.800 what has he done. He's done tariffs, which are inflationary, 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:14.399 and then that might have been okay. But my man 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:18.399 did the thing that every other president has known not 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:22.480 to do since Bill Clinton, which is he went to 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:27.240 war with Iran. And Iran as everyone knew, they would 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:30.679 close the straits, and the straits are closed. And now 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:34.080 oil and gas are about a dollar and change more 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:38.560 expensive in the United States. And don't get me started 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:44.720 on diesel. This is exactly what everyone said would happen. 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.480 I want to rephrase this because I think it's so important. 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:52.080 Trump does exactly the thing that everyone says not to do. 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.400 Don't put your hand to the stove, don't go to 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:58.600 war with Iran. It's very expensive. They have a much 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:01.760 higher pain tolerance than you do. As we've seen. It's 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:05.240 an enormous country, eighty million people. This is like going 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:09.920 to war with California if California had nothing to lose. 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:14.160 And these inflationary numbers are what we should expect. So 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:18.239 it was higher than wages, which means that wages grew 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.280 three point six percent, but it didn't matter because the 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.160 inflation z point two percent higher than that, which means 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:26.680 you may have gotten more money, but your gas is, 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.239 as all of us know, quite a bit more expensive 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.840 at the pump. We are heading into summer. Summer is 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:37.519 the time when Americans get in their car and take vacations. 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:41.160 It's also the time when richer Americans get on airplanes 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:44.640 and take vacations. Airplane tickets, if you haven't noticed, are 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:49.720 more expensive because jet fuel is this most expensive kind 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:53.000 of fuel. It's from diesel, so they are going to 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:57.080 be even more expensive than filling up your tank with gas. 0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:00.000 It is just a perfect storm. We are heading out 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.600 into the summer. People are going to be mad. And 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:05.120 Donald Trump did this, and they understand that he did 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:09.240 this because he could not even come up with any 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:12.239 sort of way to sell this war to the American people, 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.720 so he just did it. And now the American people 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:15.119 are mad. 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.480 Let me back you up with some data here at 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:19.920 less Intel Pulling, which is one of the most reliable 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:23.840 pollsters to pull on do items cost less under Biden 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:29.600 or Trump? Nearly every single item, beef, electricity, coffee, gas, chicken, bread, milk, 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:34.640 your house, bananas, eggs almost double on nearly every item 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:36.680 people say it costs less under Biden. 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:37.680 That's because it did. 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:40.800 Yeah, that's right, But It shows that their whole press 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:44.360 strategy is don't believe your lying eyes, and people are 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:46.360 believing their truthful eyes. 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.360 And you know, it goes back to this idea that 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:53.200 I often talk about with Gourbidal, who was someone I 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:56.200 knew growing up, who was this very smart thinker, and 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:58.960 he had this theory of the case that the American 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:01.840 people have no memory, that we are the United States 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.520 of Amnesia. We know nothing, we remember nothing. Everything goes 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:08.520 so quickly for us. But the reality is that even 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:12.080 we can keep six months in our head. Trump's been 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:15.040 present for eighteen months, and during that time, prices have 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:18.400 gone up. You know, there's one thing that voters really hate. 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.760 There's like literally one thing they hate. It's like going 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:23.600 to the grocery store with the same amount of money 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:26.600 and being able to buyize food. And so that's where 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:30.040 we are here. This has the generic with Democrats up 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:34.520 fourteen points, and that is like carnage for Republicans. 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:38.360 So the way Republicans are counteracting that, of course, is 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:42.280 by jerrymandering everything to hell, and the Supreme Court is 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:43.480 their William Ablers. 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:48.520 Look, the Supreme Court has decided to be just completely partisan. 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.080 Now that does not mean the entire Supreme Court, because 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.480 there are three liberal justices on this court and they 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.039 are as you and I vote know. It's so to 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.800 my Air is the one who I think speaks the 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:04.880 most forcefully. But Brown Jackson does too. She basically ripped 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:09.359 her own cord for their inappropriate decision on Alabama. And look, 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:13.000 here's what's happening Republicans in the Supreme Court. The six 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:16.440 to three conservative majority has killed the Voting Rights Act, 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.760 and now they are signing off on all of this 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.920 last minute jerry mandering of seat here, a seat there. 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:25.479 Trump thinks a seat here and a seat there will 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:29.719 save him from losing the House and getting impeached. Perhaps 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:32.520 I think Trump may be in more trouble than any things. 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:35.440 But that is what is happening here, and the Supreme 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:36.680 Court is going along with it. 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:37.520 Yeah. 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:39.719 So what goes hand in hand with this is the 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:43.279 Supreme Court's decision on the Voting Rights Act. And we've 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:47.839 been talking about how Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry has been 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:51.480 a willing participant, but man, this sixty minutes interview with 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:54.479 him the other night really really showed the egregiousness of 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:54.800 all this. 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.880 A lot of people who followed the law think that 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:03.280 you should not stop the voting during a primary. So 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:07.159 the voting had already started, but Landry was like, I 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.880 need to make my man Donald Trump happy. So we're 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:13.520 going to redistrict even though people are voting. And so 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:17.080 what is he doing. He's throwing out these forty five 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:22.000 thousand ballots. Now, it is a big deal because it's 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.960 anti democratic, but it's also a big deal because it 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.880 shows that the Louisiana governor does not give a fuck 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:32.400 about his voters. And look, we're seeing a lot of 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:36.039 Republicans go on sixty minutes. We saw I mean a 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:38.120 lot of Republicans by a lot of Republicans. I mean 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:42.400 Benjamin net Yahoo was on sixty minutes this week. It's 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.279 interesting because I was watching that interview with Major Garrett. 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:48.280 There are a lot of really good journalists still at CBS, 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:51.560 even though CBS has now basically been taken over by 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.960 its oraitarians, and so it's very interesting to watch them. 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.479 But according to reporting today, not for long. 0:06:57.839 --> 0:06:59.080 Oh are they all getting fired? 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:02.120 Yeah, that's the week that today. 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:04.600 Sorry, I was out of commission this morning, but I 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:06.640 would not be surprised to hear they were all getting fired. 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:10.040 But anyway, the last gasps of journalism still live at 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.960 CBS for now, and watching Major Garrett try to push 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:18.280 back pretty interesting. It's worth watching that Net and Yahoo interview. 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.680 It's certainly worth wondering why the prime minister of another 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:25.240 country is weighing in on our government. I don't wonder 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:29.040 because I know what's happening here, and it's just really 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:31.480 interesting to watch who is on CBS right now and 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:31.920 who is not. 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:32.600 Yeah. 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:35.280 So one of the interesting things is, you know, people 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:37.400 can try to play around and be like, oh, polls 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:40.800 aren't always accurate, even though they've been much more accurately 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:43.120 seemingly for the most part. But one of the things 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:45.640 that's always interesting is data. And what we now see 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.680 is that twenty percent of Americans who are using Obamacare 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.680 now don't have it anymore thanks to the subsidies expiring 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:52.600 and other factors. 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:54.920 And we talked about this. I actually did a video 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:59.160 on this for MS Now. This is very easy to 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:03.400 see coming a million miles away. Basically, we knew this 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.640 was going to happen again the last government shut down. 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.320 Democrats did it. I know we're not supposed to say that, 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:11.560 but it's true, and they know it's true, and they 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:14.200 say it to be true too, because they were worried 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.720 about people losing their healthcare. They were worried that twenty 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.480 percent of Americans would lose their health care. And that's 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:22.320 what we're seeing, a twenty percent decline in enrollment in 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:25.920 thirty states. That's because now Obamacare is, you know, a 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:29.240 couple thousand dollars more expensive. There's a lot of money 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:34.439 and that gas prices, food prices, healthcare prices. Like something's 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:37.040 got to give, and people are giving up their healthcare. 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:40.400 And while that is cheaper on the short term and 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:44.680 certainly cheaper than not eating, it, ultimately will trickle down 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:49.880 to crowded ers and hospitals that are overstretched and all 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:54.640 of the things we saw before Obamacare. So this sucks. 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:59.319 And remember this was all because of Dode because Republicans 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:04.720 wanted attack cut and wanted that money for whatever they're doing, 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:09.640 I guess, arms and bombing things. And so here we are, 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:12.760 and look you have this going well. On the other 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:17.440 side of the split screen, you have Pete Hagsath bragging 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:20.280 about how expensive this war is. We're spending like gonna 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:23.520 spend probably a trillion dollars fighting with the country that 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:27.200 we literally had a deal with about the nukes. So 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:38.920 Donald Trump yet again making crisises that did not exist. Hey, 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:42.600 it's Molly john Fast here. My memoir How to Lose 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:46.520 Your Mother is out now on paperback, arriving just ahead 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.360 of Mother's Day. How to Lose Your Mother has garnered 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.600 a lot of praise from Good Morning America, then Your Time, 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:57.720 Book Review, Vogue, Vanity Fair, and a lot of other outlets. 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:01.520 Washington Post. The book is about out what it's like 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:04.679 to be part of the Sandwich generation, to take care 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:08.160 of your mother and your children. And I talk about 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:11.920 being a mother and a daughter and the relationship I 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:15.360 have with my mother and all of its complexities. It's 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:22.000 funny and it's fraught, and it's sad, and it's about life. 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:25.440 My story, this story, the story of How to Lose 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:28.800 Your Mother, follows a year in which my mother, Erica Johng, 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:33.160 is diagnosed with dementia, my husband faces a life surrending illness, 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:37.480 and what unfolds is a really honest story about what 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:42.000 happens when the shit hits the fan and everything goes wrong. 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.720 As the Washington Post said, the book is filled with 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:48.400 lines so good you won't just want to underline them. 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:52.280 It's a memoir that continues to resonate, so please pick 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:56.000 it up. George Conway is a candidate in the Democratic 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:59.959 primary in New York's twelfth congressional district. Welcome, Welcome, George Conway. 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.480 Thank you for having me once again. For the million 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:06.040 of the time, I will always It's always like a 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:07.080 New Spring. 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:09.200 Show. 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.679 So last night you may have had a fun night 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:16.240 last night, but you know who did not sleep before 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:20.480 going to China in a position of not strength. You 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.160 went awarein China. 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:23.600 Heina. 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:27.120 My man is going to China with every rich person 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:31.960 in America basically and all the CEOs, including Elon mush. 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:36.240 But last night he posted fifty five times in three hours. 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:39.960 This is the leader of the free world, so to speak. 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.440 I don't know how free we are. But he started 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:45.920 at ten fifteen, as one does, accusing Obama of a 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:50.760 coup in twenty sixteen. You'll remember he won in twenty sixteen, 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:56.160 so that is an interesting coup. Then ten fifteen again, 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.440 so that's all. The same minute says Obama works with 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:03.319 the CIA to overthrow Trump. Repost tweets saying Obama is 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:07.280 Trader and he should be arrested. Ten twenty two, So 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:11.040 seven minutes later at Tacks Dominion voting system for twenty 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:15.520 twenty elections says they switch votes again. Ten twenty two 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:19.680 says Fulton County, Georgia had twenty twenty fraud exposed there 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:24.600 not true. Ten to twenty three accuses Obama of making 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:29.280 one hundred and twenty million from Obamacare. That there are 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:33.360 about fifty other times he tweeted, but I just wanted 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.840 you to get a flavor of what happened last night. 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:39.640 I'm going to go out on a limb and say 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:47.600 something really bluntly. The President of the United States is 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:52.080 deeply mentally ill. I know it's shocking for you to 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:56.000 hear me say that, and it's just something I've been 0:12:56.160 --> 0:13:00.640 fearing for years to address, as you know, but he 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:01.520 is mentally ill. 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:06.160 Feels to me, as someone who has spent the last decade. 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.320 Writing about how the Pride, writing and talking about how 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.079 the president is mentally ill, right. 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:13.439 From my thirties when I was young, to my forties 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.840 now cruising into fifty. What it feels like to me 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:20.720 is that he has all and actually said this on 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:24.080 television when we were talking about the push the way 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:27.480 Trump treats female journalists versus the way he treated women 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:31.280 in twenty sixteen, which was like bad but sort of 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:34.440 on purpose, and now he sort of lashes out. It 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:38.880 strikes me that Trump has less frontal lobe kind of 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:43.480 ability to resist doing the crazy stuff than he did 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:44.200 a decade ago. 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:48.319 Right, No, that's absolutely true, and he's absolutely more disinhibited 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:50.240 than ever before, which would be the term I think 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:55.760 that yes, neuropsychologists and neuropsychiatrists would use. But the fundamental, 0:13:55.880 --> 0:14:00.480 the fundamental impulses are still there. I mean, if you know, 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:04.920 as I have been chirping about since about twenty eighteen publicly, 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:10.520 you go through the diagnostic criteria in the Diagnostic and 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:16.760 Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders addition the fifth edition, he 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:19.800 is clearly, among other things, I mean, he clearly has 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:23.760 narcissistic personality disorder. In fact, he's got basically all nine 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:27.800 of the criteria. You could have written the criteria for him, 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:30.320 and he's got the you know, he's got more than 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:33.320 sufficient numbers of criteria for, if not all, the criteria 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:37.920 for antisocial personality disorder or sociopopy. He's a narcissistic sociopath. 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:44.200 So he spends his time convincing himself that he's been wronged, 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:46.720 that he is the greatest thing and the only thing 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.920 that matters in the world, and that when things don't 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.840 go his way, it's because people are conspiring against him, 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.840 they are jealous against them, and there's absolutely some paranoia 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:57.840 in there. But of course, if the more you are 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.960 obnoxious to people, the more they do dislike you. And 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:05.720 you know, he has been able, to some not great extent, 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:11.040 not show us everything he thinks at any given moment 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:13.520 because people have told him you can't do that, and 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.440 he understands that if he does on television he will 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:19.920 get a backlash. But again, he's more disinhibited than ever 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:25.120 because he's aging. He is clearly not as sharp as 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:28.200 he was in prior years ago. I frankly don't think 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:31.520 he was ever that sharp. And of course he has 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:35.080 managed to get rid of all the people who could 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:39.880 possibly tell him, dude, that you can't do this. And 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:44.760 and then of course he clearly is hypo manic. He 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:48.520 doesn't get much sleep, and he's more anxious than ever 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:53.880 before because everything he's done thus far to make himself 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:57.840 the greatest thing in the world to make himself. You know, 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:01.040 the most important person in the universe is failing. And 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:04.000 he knows that. And he knows deep down, even though 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:06.600 he tweets out things like oh, the polls are great 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.320 like never before, and the oh gas prices are going down, 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:13.680 and oh, we won the war against Iran. Deep down 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:16.720 he knows that's all bullshit. But deep down he knows 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:22.360 that he is looking at a democratic Congress if he 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:24.640 doesn't manage to somehow steal the election, which he is 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:28.720 talking about because he's talking about putting people troops essentially 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:33.520 to enforce election integrity or whatever that that. 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:34.040 The other day. 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:38.400 I don't have the exact quote, so he is you know, 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:40.800 this is this is like the movie Downfall, right, I've 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:43.120 always you've heard me talk about the movie Downfall before 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:46.960 the last ten days of the furor Bunker. This is 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:50.280 what happens when a narcissistic as sociopath is cornered. They 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:54.320 become more desperate, more delusional, and more dangerous. And that's 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:58.840 where Donald Trump is. And that's why I say and 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:01.520 I say it, you know, it's part of my campaign 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:03.520 stick But I've been saying this all along that He's 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:07.280 only going to get worse, not better. And the most 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:09.840 important thing to remember for our current circumstance is that 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:13.200 we cannot survive thirty two months more of what we've 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:16.080 seen over the last sixteen, not only because what we've 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.720 seen over the last sixteen, if you keep adding on 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:22.440 to it at the same rate, is terrible and dangerous. 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:26.000 I mean, he's done enormous damage to the country, enormous 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:30.320 damage to its economy, and normous damage to its standing 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:34.560 in the world. But he's going to accelerate in his 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:38.399 bizarre t dellusion, and it's going to get get much worse, 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:43.240 which is why I'm talking about impeach. And we can't survive, 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:46.320 and he's going to get worse, and even the Republicans 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:48.040 are going to have no choice but to face up 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.919 to the fact that for the sake of the country, 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:54.400 if not for their own sake, depending on how many 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:56.720 of them are left after November, if there's a free 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.480 and fair election, they have to join with us to 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:00.360 get rid of it too. 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:04.240 I want to talk about a wrinkle that I did 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:08.160 not see coming, which as someone who has been gaming 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:11.280 this out for the last decade, a wrinkle that I 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:15.200 did not see coming was that Donald Trump would absolutely 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:20.360 crater with Republicans. I did not think, like I actually 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:23.400 thought he would just go in there and play golf 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:28.160 and let the economy run on the tax cuts. And 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:30.720 I did not think he would go in there and 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:33.199 do a lot of really destructive I thought he did 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:35.320 destructive stuff, but I didn't know that he would like 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:38.840 be able to raise past prices a dollar and a half. 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.200 Let me tell you this, I mean, this is a 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:44.159 point of disagreement between us. Right. You listen to what 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:45.960 I was saying in twenty twenty four, I think. I 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:49.520 remember I said it a couple of times, very very directly. 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:51.080 I said it once on the comedy channel. He's just 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:53.760 going to do everything. It's going to get much, much worse. 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:55.199 And I remember a friend of mine said to me, 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:57.560 a journalist said to me, well, how could he possibly 0:18:57.560 --> 0:18:59.960 be worse? And I said, he's going to get worse. 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:03.320 These people can't help themselves. They can't turn themselves off 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:07.879 the glory, glorification, and the power is never enough. They 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:11.520 are continually hunt, thirsting for ward. He can't go out 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:14.040 and shut up and play golf. He has to be 0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:20.160 He has an infinite narcissistic thirst that can't possibly be satisfied, 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:25.000 and so he has to keep doing things he's he's 0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:30.000 maniacally to empower himself, and he does this in an 0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:32.199 impulsive way, in an I'm thinking kind of way, and in 0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:35.399 a way that's self destructive, and that's what he's going 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:39.040 to keep doing, and it's going to be much much worse, 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:42.440 and he's going to do much more damage to us. 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:45.480 One of the things that I think people haven't a 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:48.800 lot of people haven't learned, is that there is no 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:54.919 bottom with this guy. You cannot He keeps going down, down, down, 0:19:55.800 --> 0:20:02.240 until you know, unless he's physically in pacitated, he's going 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:06.639 to get mentally worse, and at some point he's going 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:09.480 to lose everybody, including the people who work for him. 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:12.480 It's just it's just a matter of time. And the 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:17.440 question is do we hasten that process or we just 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:20.439 let it play out passively. And I think we have 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:23.760 to hasten that process because the faster we get to 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:28.720 the climactic moment here of getting him out of office, 0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:31.600 the less damage he can do. And that's why I 0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:34.280 think it's so important to start talking about impeachment and 0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:35.800 removal right. 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:40.280 Now I agree, but I also like the gas prices 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:44.840 is an unforced error, like Americans hate high gas prices, 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:47.640 like that, I grew up in the I was born 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:50.600 in the seventies. Like, if there's one thing I understand 0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:53.840 from being born in the seventies, it's like Americans want 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:55.680 to be able to get gas, and they want to 0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:58.720 be able to get it cheaply. The truckers voted in 0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:02.920 huge numbers for Trump. They are now trying to get diesel, 0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:07.760 which is so expensive. It's historically expensive. So for a 0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:11.760 long time, over the last decade of this conversation, we 0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:15.679 have wondered if anyone would ever break with Trump in 0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:18.800 the MAGA crew. But it does seem like at least 0:21:18.960 --> 0:21:23.720 Republican leaning indies are no longer on the Trump train. 0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:26.679 Yeah, I think exactly right. I think that's true. And 0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:29.400 I think there are a lot of Republicans who will 0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:32.760 not declare themselves to be independent. I think deep down 0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:35.159 they've had it with Trump as well. I think one 0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:38.640 of the things that will happen. What happens is approval 0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:41.600 ratings are somewhat misleading. This is my theory. Again, I 0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:45.160 can't prove it because you have to administer sodium pentathal 0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:48.000 to basically all the respondents. But I think that when 0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:50.479 people are asked if they support Donald Trump, if they 0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:53.439 are a Trumper, a mega person, a Republican, they're going 0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:56.960 to say yes, do they approve Yes, even if deep 0:21:56.960 --> 0:22:00.080 down they're having graved doubts because it's part of their identity. 0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:02.679 They don't want to admit error. The fact that the 0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:05.200 people on the margins are splitting off is very very 0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:07.639 bad for Trump. And the fact that there are people 0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:14.240 who have, you know, who have previously supported him loudly, 0:22:14.560 --> 0:22:16.840 are making who are making noises about the twenty fifth 0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:18.760 Amendment and so on and so forth, is is really, 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:21.200 is really really something And I think. 0:22:21.080 --> 0:22:24.480 That's Alex Jones and Jones I mean, you know, I mean, 0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:28.200 I mean, I was I tweeted something the other day. 0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:33.120 No, I retweeted Tim Miller saying something about Trump and 0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:39.000 was then subsequently retweeted by Megan Kelly. Yeah, okay, I 0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:43.760 mean you were seeing some very very interesting turnarounds. Look, 0:22:43.800 --> 0:22:46.160 some people who have just basically they they they are 0:22:46.440 --> 0:22:49.639 either they've either seen enough or they're close to have 0:22:49.720 --> 0:22:52.879 seen been seeing seeing enough. And I think what the 0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:57.320 problem is going to be that. I mean, I think 0:22:57.320 --> 0:22:59.960 what's going to happen is ultimately all of this turn 0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:01.800 on the United States Senate and the cowards and the 0:23:01.800 --> 0:23:04.840
