And Lindsey Graham 170 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 2: was one of the people who was constantly out with McCain. 171 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 2: So when Lindsay Graham was out on that bus for 172 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 2: that period of time during the primary, you know, over 173 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 2: five six weeks, every day flying, you know, as there 174 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 2: were multiple primaries, you know, Lindsey Graham was there. He 175 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 2: was the constant companion along with along with Joe Lieberman. 176 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 2: And to watch Lindsey Graham grow into what he has become, 177 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 2: talking about things like we're killing all the right people 178 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 2: and cutting taxes for all the right people, grotesqueary of 179 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 2: it all, his openly bragging about that he's manipulated in 180 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 2: Lindsey Graham's telling the Israelis, the Saudis, and Trump into 181 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 2: starting war in Iran, a war without a plan, war 182 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 2: without any notion of what comes next. And so it 183 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 2: is an astonishing moment to watch this very puerile individual, 184 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 2: this warmonger, betray certainly the legacy of his friend John McCain, 185 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 2: but more deeply than that certainly to betray common sense, 186 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 2: to betray what Maggot itself claimed to be for, which 187 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 2: was in the end and foreign policy, that there wouldn't 188 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 2: be any of these, any of these wars. But it's 189 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 2: an astonishing, astonishing, an astonishing journey that Lindsey Graham has taken. 190 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 2: I was just talking about waiting for you to get 191 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 2: back on about about Lindsey Graham. And he's quite he's 192 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 2: quite a fellow. 193 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: What happened to him? 194 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 2: Well, all of the what do you mean by that? 195 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 2: What happened to him over the years, over the Yeah. 196 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,839 Speaker 1: I mean when I say what happened to him? 197 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 3: I think what I'm referring to is that I don't 198 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 3: really quite understand what happened to He had a little statesman, 199 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 3: you know, as I fixed my audio, and I wanted 200 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 3: to ask you this because you've watched. 201 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 2: Him, you know, about Lindsay Graham. 202 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 3: You understand that this man is severely compromised in ways 203 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 3: that a lot. 204 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 2: Of people don't even understand. 205 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 3: Right, And it's almost as if, and that's the impetus 206 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 3: for the question as to what happened to him, It's 207 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 3: almost as if, you know, he's just kind of said fuck. 208 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 2: It, I'm going full villain. I'm gonna sell a bunch 209 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 2: of hats. 210 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell everybody that that we're gonna, we're gonna, 211 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,319 Speaker 3: we're coming for your oil. We're gonna murder you if 212 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 3: you're not a friend of the United States Donald Trump. 213 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 2: So he's gone full Trump. 214 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 3: And if you remember, back when the insurrection happened J six, 215 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 3: he was like, I'm out. I tried to do this. 216 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 3: I tried to do this with Trump and I couldn't 217 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 3: do it. Now, I know he's got demons, but this 218 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 3: is almost like he's kind of showing up any kind 219 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 3: of statesman that he ever was before, and he's just 220 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 3: decided I'm full Magan now and I don't really give 221 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 3: a shit about the consequences outside of getting what I 222 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 3: need to get out of this. 223 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: Because it almost looks like he's got nothing else. 224 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 2: So I think that's a key insight is in terms 225 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 2: of the he's got nothing else, He's got he's got 226 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 2: nothing else. How Lindsey Graham grew up, he grew up 227 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 2: basically this Lindsey Graham around the bar. And obviously he 228 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 2: can't fight. He's not a tough guy. He's not you 229 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 2: know anybody who has any place other than being able 230 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 2: to make people laugh. Right, Wasn't an athlete, wasn't a musician? Right, 231 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 2: But he can make people laugh and he's a sidekick 232 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 2: that he is the archetypal sidekick. Now, everybody would always 233 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 2: say to me going back, and this has gone on 234 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 2: for twelve years now, and it's important to understand that 235 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 2: on the day that Trump comes down the escalator and 236 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 2: denounces the Mexicans, everyone in the Republican Party, everybody has 237 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 2: the same position that I hold today. The point is 238 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 2: is that everyone abdicated what they were against to before 239 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 2: choosing the wrong over the right for expediency for power, 240 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 2: and has put their party, their reputations, and all of 241 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 2: it into his permanent downward spiral into the abyss. And 242 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 2: so so, Lindsay Graham, you look at Lindsey Graham, what 243 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 2: is Lindsay Graham. Lindsey Graham has no other attachment to 244 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 2: life beyond politics, and he's a force for tremendous harm 245 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 2: provence as he talks about life and death, a deeply, 246 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 2: deeply unserious person in the moment, but specifically to the 247 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 2: question like what is he? He's a remora, He's a 248 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 2: pilot fish and and he became famous as the remorra 249 00:15:54,200 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 2: around a shark, an apex predator John McCain the But 250 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 2: we're basically like, this is a good and decent shark. 251 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 2: That is the McCain shark. And look at that Ramira 252 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 2: swimming alongside him. That's Lindsay. But a remora eats the detritus, 253 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 2: eats the filth. Right, it's not a predator. It's a scavenger. 254 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 2: And Lindsey consistently has been that scavenger. You have to 255 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 2: look at Lindsey through the prism of his anti Clinton 256 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 2: conspiracy days as a house member, during the mob of impeachment, 257 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 2: all the way through to now he's a senator and 258 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 2: he hooks up with McCain and Hillary Clinton's in the Senate, 259 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 2: and he bends to the culture that he's in. But 260 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 2: now Lindsay Graham is off the leaf and he's a 261 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 2: remora who lost his shark. McCain shark died, and off 262 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 2: he goes. Now he finds a new shark that's the 263 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 2: Trump shark. And this is vile shark. Everyone knows that. 264 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 2: But he's the same Ramorra feeding off of a new predator, 265 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:26,479 Speaker 2: like new excrement. And that's what Lindsey Graham is. It's 266 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 2: a bottom fear scave bottom. He's a bottom feeder, he's 267 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 2: a scavenger. This is nose. He can't get power but 268 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 2: for proximity to it as a sidekick. And you listen 269 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 2: to him talk about, Hey, this is what I did 270 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 2: in a Wall Street journal piece. This is how I 271 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 2: manipulated everybody into this war. It's appalling. I mean I 272 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 2: had I had military officers that talk to me about 273 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 2: when they were in Iraq, when they were in Afghanistan, 274 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 2: how much they despised when Lindsey Grahant would come over 275 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 2: for reserve duty or on Senate trips for you know, 276 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 2: what they called war tourism. You know, just a deeply 277 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 2: unseerious person, a huge infrenchman on their time, a you know, 278 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 2: a person that did not care for right who they saw, 279 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 2: who they saw through. He's a very very hollow, very 280 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 2: very empty guy with bad judgment. And there's a lot 281 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 2: of people with terrible fucking judgment that that work in 282 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 2: American politics. And you know, he's at the top of 283 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 2: South Carolina voters, right. It's it's a reflection on the UH. 284 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 2: I think the whole state, the character of the state. Right, 285 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 2: you're doing a terrible thing for the country. Like if 286 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 2: you're if you're, if you're if you're sending Chris Murphy 287 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 2: to the Senate Connecticut. It's a good job, good right, 288 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 2: but you're you're plaguing the country with Lindsey Graham, the 289 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 2: international vandal, Arson, frivoloust Man, hollow Man, principalist man mm hmm, 290 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 2: intoxicated with the power and the lust for war. It's 291 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 2: very very dangerous, very dangerous. 292 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,439 Speaker 3: Well, especially when you got nothing left. I mean, you 293 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 3: and I have had several conversations. You wrote an incredible 294 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 3: piece about Lindsay Graham not long ago where you let 295 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 3: people into the concern that John McCain had for Lindsey 296 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,880 Speaker 3: Graham and what he's hiding. And a guy like John 297 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 3: McCain had some values in virtues. Say what you like 298 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 3: about the man in his history. He lived along beautiful, 299 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 3: fruitful life, but he stuck to the values and the 300 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 3: virtues that made him who he was. And those values 301 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 3: in those virtues, when you think about it, led him 302 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 3: to have a relationship with Lindsay Graham. And I don't 303 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 3: know if that's a story you want to tell. But 304 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 3: I want to kind of hinge into, you know, part 305 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 3: of that story, which is, you know, how does someone 306 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 3: cash in every principle that they ever thought that they 307 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,959 Speaker 3: stood for. How does someone just disrobe themselves of that 308 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 3: centerpiece of morality and character, the things that are really important, 309 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 3: the pillars that make up your life. Because if we're 310 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 3: to believe that Lindsey Graham was ever what he represented 311 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 3: prior to this heel. 312 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 1: Term with Mega, then you're wrong. 313 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 3: But I think it leans into this incredible story that 314 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 3: you told about him. When John McCain called you and said, 315 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 3: let's talk about Lindsey Graham. 316 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 2: He Linsey Graham used to tell the story about when 317 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 2: he It was a funny story about when he was 318 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 2: a lawyer, he had a divorce case. I have no 319 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 2: idea if the story is true or not, but so 320 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 2: far as the story goes, it was that the couple 321 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 2: was fighting over an Elvis portrait and that was the 322 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 2: final issue before they could get divorced, and it got 323 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 2: very heated about who was going to get this portrait 324 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 2: of Elvis, and Lindsey drove out somewhere from wherever he 325 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 2: was to get a portrait of Elvis from some Nashville 326 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 2: type place, whether it's Memphis or Nashville. But he drove 327 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 2: from South Carolina aways, he got another portrait, and he 328 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 2: solved a divorce. And Lindsey Graham is, in his essence, 329 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:36,479 Speaker 2: whatever makes people tick. Right. There are some people that 330 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 2: just their passion is sports, but you can go off 331 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 2: the deep end on anything. And Lindsey Graham's thing is politics. 332 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 2: And Lindsey Graham is not a person who approaches politics 333 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 2: as in the prism of I got a run because 334 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,479 Speaker 2: I got to put a stop to something, or I 335 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 2: gotta run because I got to put a stop to something, 336 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 2: and we got to do something right. He's he's running 337 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 2: for a life no duty of relevance, no duty, utterly 338 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 2: detached from any type of duty or purpose beyond longevity, 339 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,199 Speaker 2: right beyond beyond the idea. There's no no doubt that 340 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 2: he would love to be in there like strom Thurmond 341 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 2: was at one hundred and two hundred four years old, right, 342 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 2: And that's you know, that's that's Lindsey Graham. And so 343 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 2: South Carolina voters you have to make a decision in that, 344 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 2: in that race. But he's a plague on the country's 345 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 2: a plague on the world. John McCain would be a 346 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 2: pall by him, Why Paul by him, Well, he would 347 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 2: be a pall by by the war mongering, by the 348 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 2: frivolousness of it, by his attachment to the indecency and 349 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 2: dishonor of of Trump. McCain hated a bully and and 350 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 2: and he would have despised Trump for that. But he 351 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 2: would have particularly hated the villainy of someone who was 352 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 2: so proximate to the abuse of children and implicated in 353 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 2: the abuse of children from a growing pile of information 354 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 2: that that really deeply implicates Donald Donald Trump. Uh, no 355 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 2: matter how you how you care to look at the matter. 356 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 2: And so yeah, I think he'd be appalled. I think 357 00:23:53,880 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 2: he'd be I think he'd be appalled that mostly a 358 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 2: generation had to die off for a Trump to rise, right, 359 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 2: the the generation of in a way and Dole and 360 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 2: those none of none of this in Tom Lantos, none 361 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 2: of this, None of this could have happened when when 362 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 2: all moynihan, when all those people were John Glenn, when 363 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 2: those people were alive. M m. You know, it. 364 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 3: Touches on something that we sort of mentioned prior to 365 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 3: talking about Lindsey Graham being this political animal that only 366 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 3: does this because this is what he does, not because 367 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 3: he feels any sense of duty. So when someone is 368 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 3: that person, and you and I have talked about, you know, 369 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 3: moral flexibility from time to time when it comes to messaging. 370 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 3: We've talked about moral flexibility when it comes to being 371 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 3: able to get a job done for the greater good. 372 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,199 Speaker 3: But there's one thing that I think that you and 373 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 3: I continue to hang on to, and it's and I 374 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 3: think it's why we're from But I also think it's 375 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 3: why we work together with the Save America movement. I 376 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 3: think it's also why we both stand up for democracy. 377 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 3: We both give our privilege to those who need it. 378 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 3: That is one of the things that is most important 379 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 3: to us. John McCain made a habit of doing that 380 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 3: from the time he was a pow until the time 381 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 3: he passed away. 382 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 1: Is how do you give your power and your privilege? 383 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 1: Where is your duty? 384 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 3: Where is your sense of character when it comes to 385 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 3: making a difference around you? Because we know that the 386 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 3: collective is a community, we know that the republic is 387 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 3: us and our intentions. And so when I think about 388 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 3: Lindsay Graham through that lens, right, when I think about 389 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 3: how you know he had a modicum like I mean 390 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 3: a modicum of respect up until I would say twenty 391 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 3: twenty four. You know, and listen, you can hate Lindsey 392 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 3: Graham for a bunch of different things. We can talk 393 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 3: about him being blackmailed by Donald Trump, we can talk 394 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 3: about his alleged homosexuality, but none of that really matters 395 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 3: to me. 396 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: That's a choice. 397 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 3: It's all the things that people love to Those are 398 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 3: gotcha moments, those are gotcha stories, right. But what amazes 399 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 3: me about people like Lindsay Graham, it's the same thing 400 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 3: that amazes me about people like Doug Bergram. It's the 401 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 3: same thing that amazes me about people that I used 402 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 3: to respect in the GOP how they completely just said, 403 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 3: you know what, here's what I am now at the 404 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 3: age of sixty seven, Here's who I am now at 405 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 3: the age of fifty two. 406 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to abandon. 407 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 3: Every value that I held, Dear, I'm going to abandon 408 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 3: every virtue that I had. What I told people I 409 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 3: was transparent, honest, courageous, empathetic, loving, judicious. 410 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: Wise for the people. I'm in it for you. 411 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 3: And it's not just the abandonment of it, but it's 412 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,719 Speaker 3: the celebration of it, and that celebration that is literally 413 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 3: attached to just impressing one guy, and that guy, to 414 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 3: your greater point, being probably a pedophile for sure, an 415 00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 3: adjudicated rapist, someone who's been credibly accused thirty one times 416 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 3: of sexually assaulting women over the last forty five to 417 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 3: fifty years, who's now the president of the United States. 418 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 3: And for people like me, there's this hard line because 419 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,959 Speaker 3: I run everything through a filter, a filter of values 420 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 3: and virtues that I hold dear right, Is this good 421 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,879 Speaker 3: for the common good? Is this of good character? Am 422 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 3: I helping the republic in the community around me? And 423 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 3: when I see Lindsey Graham, who was able to fake 424 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 3: it for a solid thirty five years, whatever values and 425 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 3: virtues he ran by, When I see him standing on 426 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 3: Air Force one, Giddaly going, Hey, Cuba, we're gonna fuck 427 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 3: you up next. 428 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,439 Speaker 1: Watch out, by the way, buy these new MAGA hats. 429 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 3: And then I see him on MS now, or I 430 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 3: see him on state Media, Fox News, State Media, Trump, 431 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,120 Speaker 3: state Media, and he's like, you know what, not only 432 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 3: does Cuba have no idea what's fucking coming?

Lindsey Graham failed spectacularly for all 439 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 3: the wrong reasons. And that, to me is the entire 440 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 3: impetus for what we stand for. Why we're here, and 441 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 3: why you left the Republican Party, why you've been screaming 442 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 3: from the mountaintops, why you started the Save America movement, 443 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 3: is this is a values first proposition at this point, 444 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 3: and if you look at someone's values, and I'm not 445 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 3: even talking about Donald Trump at this point, Steve, that 446 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 3: man doesn't have a moral compass to speak of. You know, 447 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 3: Linsea Graham might have. Donald Trump never has. We're dealing 448 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 3: with a completely fucking different animal.

That's like 461 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 3: struggling being two different people, where you tell people that 462 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 3: you know you're a good guy and you're gonna do 463 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 3: good things for other people, and then behind the scenes, well, 464 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 3: we're seeing that duplicity play out in real life, and 465 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 3: that that duplicity personally. 466 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: You know, this almost killed me. 467 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 3: I'm presenting myself as something else, something that I wasn't, 468 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 3: a dishonest dealer, someone who you know, built up this 469 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 3: this reputation of a radio guy years and years and 470 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 3: years ago. 471 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 2: This isn't about me. 472 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 3: But I completely understand that duplicity, and there's this shame 473 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 3: that comes with it. But what I want to ask 474 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 3: you is, how is it possible that none of the 475 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 3: these people Lindsey Graham, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth 476 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 3: that none of them experienced that shame, because that's the 477 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 3: kind of shame that kills a good person. 478 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 2: Steve, some years ago I had I got into this 479 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 2: tweet fight with Rubio and then Ted Cruz. 480 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: Is this why you're not allowed to be on Twitter? 481 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 2: Before I had my Twitter taken away. Yeah, I got 482 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 2: into this tweet fight with with Little Marco. And the 483 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 2: point that I had made, whatever whatever his origin story 484 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 2: originally was, it had his parents fleeing Castro, which was 485 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 2: not trip. They left in fifty six before Castro came 486 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 2: to came to power. They were they were economic refugees. 487 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 2: But the point I made, I said that if if 488 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 2: Mark Rubio were Mark Rubio in Cuba in nineteen fifty nine, 489 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 2: he'd be a guy dressed up in olive drive, carrying 490 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 2: Castro's coat as you eat me.

And I see it 543 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 3: all the time, Like, you know, I've seen this, this 544 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,879 Speaker 3: Iran story. I look at analytics because I'm an analytics guy, 545 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,919 Speaker 3: and I looked at this Iran story that we put 546 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 3: out today, our sorry yesterday, that's through the roof. But 547 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 3: then I look at the comments, like hundreds of thousands 548 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 3: of people a ready look at the comments. 549 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:21,799 Speaker 1: It's like, I'm exhausted. 550 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 3: I can't imagine that we're going to continue to do 551 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 3: this as a country, that we're allowing this man to 552 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,840 Speaker 3: bomb a school. And this was the impetus for the 553 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,800 Speaker 3: piece that I wrote, is that the United States of America, 554 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 3: with intel going back to twenty sixteen, they had not 555 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 3: updated their intel.

Steve, 561 00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 3: As You've talked about this before, with impunity. 562 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 1: The regime is lied about it. 563 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 3: Yesterday the US military came out and said, Hey, that 564 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 3: was us. 565 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 2: We did that. 566 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 1: That was our tomahawk. 567 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 3: And Donald Trump was asked about it again, and this 568 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 3: was my count the eleventh time in twelve days that 569 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 3: he said, I don't know about it. B that's Pete, 570 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 3: that's Marco, that's Jared.

I'm perfect. 572 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 3: I did nothing wrong. And then yesterday again on the 573 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 3: White House lawn, so dismissive of the murder of one 574 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 3: hundred and seventy five innocent school children's souls, he was 575 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 3: asked about her and he's like, I don't know anything 576 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 3: about that. Next question, I can't. I mean, I'm not 577 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 3: wired to live like that. I find it fascinating that 578 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 3: he is Steve. But I also find it fascinating that 579 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 3: he's been able to find enough people around him to 580 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,359 Speaker 3: be able to make this all happen. That's still Co 581 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:51,880 Speaker 3: signed that kind of bullshit. 582 00:35:55,040 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 2: I think that when we think about the storm of 583 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:06,839 Speaker 2: history that we lived on the edge of in an 584 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 2: era that was somewhat shaped by it, by the Second 585 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:15,239 Speaker 2: World War, and and being of an age where we 586 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 2: knew we knew men who fought in it. We knew 587 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 2: the our grandparents, right, men and women who lived through 588 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 2: all all the period, and who understood something, who understood 589 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,760 Speaker 2: something about it, that that there that there are certain 590 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 2: values that that you want to have about life and 591 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 2: death and humanity and good and evil. And there was 592 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 2: a great contestation that shaped the early parts of our 593 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 2: life that was clear enough that it was easily delineated 594 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 2: into a black and white between liberty and oppression, between 595 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 2: tutalitarianism and democracy, and the prevailing of democracy over tyranny. 596 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 2: The fall of the Berlin Wall. Many people called it 597 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:33,480 Speaker 2: the end of history when we were young. And the 598 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:41,320 Speaker 2: truth is, we're facing a real catastrophe in the United States. 599 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 2: And by catastrophe I mean more than the bad things 600 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 2: that are about to happen when we have five dollars, 601 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:58,839 Speaker 2: six dollars, seven dollars gas maybe higher, when the economy 602 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 2: seizes all of this a choice, and so the American 603 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 2: people don't get to say they're exhausted, right, the American 604 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 2: people have to say, we have to clean this up, right, 605 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,400 Speaker 2: maybe providentially.

It is impossible for me 654 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 3: at this point of my life to look. 655 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:12,320 Speaker 1: At any Canadian. 656 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 2: And I've got Canadian. 657 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 3: Friends that I do not fucking talk to like you 658 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:16,319 Speaker 3: and I have had this conversation. 659 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 1: It's called integrity. 660 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:19,840 Speaker 3: I've got people that I've done business with over the 661 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 3: past who still support Donald Trump, and I cannot delineate 662 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 3: anymore between their support for him and their support for pedophilia, 663 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,080 Speaker 3: their support for rape, the support for the destruction of 664 00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,759 Speaker 3: the United States economy, their support for the destruction of 665 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,680 Speaker 3: the empire, this once great beautiful city and freedom on 666 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 3: the hill. I cannot separate anybody from that. And I 667 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,960 Speaker 3: don't care who you fucking are. And so to you again, 668 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:45,440 Speaker 3: to your greater point, you got the government you deserved. 669 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 3: You got the government you deserve because enough people in 670 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,959 Speaker 3: that country felt like, you know, there's a stroke here 671 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 3: for me. If I just keep up appearances and you 672 00:41:55,120 --> 00:42:00,359 Speaker 3: talk to any Republican without the hard core Republicans the room, 673 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,480 Speaker 3: they'll tell you the same thing. It's a it's a 674 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 3: game of survival at this point, Steve, really a game 675 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:10,439 Speaker 3: of fucking survival at this point, a survival like you 676 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,840 Speaker 3: you want to protect a pedophile and a serial fucking 677 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:19,799 Speaker 3: rapist because you're gonna keep your pension. That does not 678 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 3: register with me. Steve does not register. And it's it's 679 00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 3: that's the disease in America now, it's this exceptionalism that 680 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,440 Speaker 3: you know, we're so exceptional. We can overlook a guy 681 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:38,360 Speaker 3: who's a serial fucking rapist. We can overlook the protection 682 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:42,200 Speaker 3: of hundreds of pedophiles and thousands of victims whose innocence 683 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,520 Speaker 3: were stolen from them as children, whose families were blown 684 00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,279 Speaker 3: up as a result. 685 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:52,319 Speaker 1: Because he wants to hidle. I mean it, it is 686 00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:53,760 Speaker 1: And I live in Canada. 687 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,120 Speaker 3: I know you live in Canada for for a portion 688 00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 3: of the year as well. And we have the exact 689 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:04,360 Speaker 3: opposite to that guy leading Canada, Mark Karney, who yesterday 690 00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:10,200 Speaker 3: made two announcements. Two announcements forty nation forty nation compact, 691 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,280 Speaker 3: one point five billion people, forty percent of the GDP, 692 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,520 Speaker 3: all the democratic countries. Mark Karney is the leader of 693 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:18,480 Speaker 3: that table yet to have a name. Good because I 694 00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,920 Speaker 3: hate names. The other thing that we announced yesterday is 695 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 3: the European Union has taken on basically adopted Canada as 696 00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 3: its closest partner, which means that one of those partners 697 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,480 Speaker 3: had to move out. Which partner was at that was America. 698 00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,279 Speaker 3: Can I tell you what that was all based on, 699 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,200 Speaker 3: other than the fact that Mark Karney's fucking incredibly competent. 700 00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:43,879 Speaker 3: What we're discussing character values, virtues that stability people can 701 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:45,120 Speaker 3: believe in this country. 702 00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 2: So you look at. 703 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,200 Speaker 3: Both of these situations, what did Canada vote for. We 704 00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,719 Speaker 3: voted for competency. We voted for a practicing stoic. We 705 00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:55,719 Speaker 3: voted for a guy who's like, here's who I am, 706 00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:59,400 Speaker 3: here's my values in virtual conservative when it comes to finances, 707 00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,840 Speaker 3: I want this to do well, but I'm socially prepared 708 00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,120 Speaker 3: to do whatever it takes to make sure this country 709 00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 3: is inclusive, but not overly inclusive, performably inclusive. None of 710 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,359 Speaker 3: that bullshit, none of the woke stuff. We're just gonna 711 00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 3: go forward. We're going to let people live their lives, 712 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,319 Speaker 3: and we're we're gonna focus on what's important. When I 713 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,520 Speaker 3: look at the United States today especially, none of those 714 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:22,359 Speaker 3: things are important. And Canada now has usurped the United 715 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,600 Speaker 3: States of America, and Mark Carney has usurped Donald Trump 716 00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:28,640 Speaker 3: or any president of the United States, which is unfucking 717 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,759 Speaker 3: thinkable as the new leader of the free democratic world. 718 00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,200 Speaker 3: And that is based on values and virtues, that is 719 00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:39,759 Speaker 3: based on courage, wisdom, temperance, justice, love, and fucking doing 720 00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,600 Speaker 3: the right thing when it really really matters the most. 721 00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 3: That is not something that is anywhere in the Venn 722 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:50,120 Speaker 3: diagram of what the Trump regime in the US government 723 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:50,560 Speaker 3: stands for. 724 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:59,520 Speaker 2: No, no, I it's very this all that this must 725 00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:04,960 Speaker 2: be a post. And there you said, you said a 726 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,239 Speaker 2: lot of things there, and I just I'm gonna go 727 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:11,920 Speaker 2: through a couple of them. The first, Thomas Massey is 728 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:16,839 Speaker 2: an interesting cat. Lost his wife not long ago. Just 729 00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:21,880 Speaker 2: to understand Trump's cruelty, Trump attacked Massey's dead wife to 730 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:28,759 Speaker 2: Massy and he's still grieving. You know, he was recently remarried, 731 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,360 Speaker 2: but you know it was Trump has for for a 732 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:37,200 Speaker 2: long time been engaged with Thomas Massey. And so Massey 733 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:42,560 Speaker 2: I believe is an M. I. T. H. Engineer, uh 734 00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:47,040 Speaker 2: farmer up in northern Kentucky. He's the conservative. But the 735 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,960 Speaker 2: thing you won't get in line with is child rape. 736 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,840 Speaker 2: And he has made a stand with Rocanna and have 737 00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 2: been the drivers of the demand that all this be released, 738 00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,960 Speaker 2: that all must be released. And the drip and drop 739 00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,960 Speaker 2: of it, every one of them, the drip and the 740 00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:09,120 Speaker 2: drop implicates Donald Trump and all this stuff. So at 741 00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:14,840 Speaker 2: any rate, Trump just went to the district with his 742 00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:18,359 Speaker 2: hand pick candidate who's a Navy seal and he's got 743 00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:22,480 Speaker 2: his tried in on his lapel. And this guy gets 744 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:28,360 Speaker 2: up and displays a moral cowardice that is epic. The 745 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:34,719 Speaker 2: Navy seal, this moral coward and he says things that 746 00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:40,000 Speaker 2: are profoundly stupid, like I'm here to make a stand 747 00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:43,920 Speaker 2: against the ladies of the view. I stand with Trump. 748 00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:48,719 Speaker 2: Fight fight fight, and just pure idiocy. And you look 749 00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:52,720 Speaker 2: at the you look at the background, and you see 750 00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,800 Speaker 2: the crowd there, and you know what you're talking about 751 00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,120 Speaker 2: someone at some level. Right, for the first time in 752 00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,480 Speaker 2: my life, I'm like, you know, I don't want it. 753 00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,719 Speaker 2: I don't necessarily want to be in a country with 754 00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:09,279 Speaker 2: these people. Right. Hold, these are my fellow citizens, what 755 00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:13,200 Speaker 2: like they're all from They're all from the welfare States, 756 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:18,200 Speaker 2: all from the taker States. We don't talk enough about that. Right, 757 00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,759 Speaker 2: Which states that you know, were the economic engine of 758 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:25,760 Speaker 2: the of the country, and which states take the resources 759 00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:29,840 Speaker 2: of the economic engine of the of the country. What 760 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,720 Speaker 2: are the provider states and what are the taker states? 761 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,480 Speaker 2: They all have something in common, right, The taker states 762 00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:41,000 Speaker 2: all have Lindy Grahams as senators. Right. But but but 763 00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:44,600 Speaker 2: at any rate, right beyond beyond that, it's just despicable. 764 00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,759 Speaker 2: And it's a character test, right, It's a character test 765 00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:51,040 Speaker 2: for a community. Is that is that like what is 766 00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:57,520 Speaker 2: going on? What is destroyed the civic bonds, the sense 767 00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:02,560 Speaker 2: of duty, connection to country, on to patriotism, affection, good judgment, 768 00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:08,520 Speaker 2: basic morality for an entire community that on the word 769 00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:14,000 Speaker 2: of Trump and his commandment, now shall purge from public 770 00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:17,640 Speaker 2: office a man who was one of you who drew 771 00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:22,719 Speaker 2: a line at protecting children. Right. So I don't know 772 00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:29,440 Speaker 2: how to dissociate from a judgment perspective, right at at 773 00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:33,160 Speaker 2: the twelfth year of this right, So I suppose, And 774 00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:36,520 Speaker 2: this is why why temperamentally I be a bad be 775 00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:42,399 Speaker 2: a bad office holder. Right is is at the at 776 00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:46,759 Speaker 2: the end of the day, what we have to be 777 00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:51,440 Speaker 2: for is a politics not of retribution, but of accountability. Right, 778 00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:54,479 Speaker 2: So this doesn't this doesn't ever happen again, and we 779 00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,759 Speaker 2: we need we need not have empty victories. We got 780 00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,279 Speaker 2: to have we have to have. We have to have 781 00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:04,040 Speaker 2: people who win elections who are gonna do serious oversight 782 00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:07,120 Speaker 2: and get to the bottom of everything. You Christy known 783 00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:12,239 Speaker 2: you just read the stories, for example, the Daily Beast alone, Right, 784 00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:16,040 Speaker 2: it's very lonely outside the gate. They're all turning on her, 785 00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,200 Speaker 2: and they're all going to be outside the gate at 786 00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,880 Speaker 2: some point. We're going to find out everything that happened 787 00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:26,080 Speaker 2: all of these people, and we have to be we 788 00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:31,240 Speaker 2: have to be committed to making sure that the crowd 789 00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:35,600 Speaker 2: cheering Donald Trump and Kentucky is never the majority that 790 00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:39,680 Speaker 2: decides the fate of the world in this country. Right. 791 00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:44,080 Speaker 2: And so so that to me, right, I don't know 792 00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:47,360 Speaker 2: how you evade something right that that we're going to 793 00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:50,440 Speaker 2: have to talk about. People don't like talking about the 794 00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:55,400 Speaker 2: past and looking backwards. But if Kamala Harris runs for president, 795 00:49:56,560 --> 00:50:00,000 Speaker 2: we're going to talk about Biden in twenty twenty four. 796 00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:06,160 Speaker 2: And it's not good necessarily to talk about this stuff. 797 00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:11,839 Speaker 2: But there has to be an appreciation that those are 798 00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:15,239 Speaker 2: the people who lost to Donald Trump, who was a 799 00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:19,440 Speaker 2: malignant force. This was not a surprisingly malignant force. This 800 00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:24,359 Speaker 2: is a predictably malignant force who even if you understood 801 00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:27,480 Speaker 2: this was going to be a catastrophe, the emotional shock 802 00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:31,200 Speaker 2: and awe of experiencing it day to day is different. 803 00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:37,120 Speaker 2: Experience is always different. We're living through it now, right. 804 00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:48,320 Speaker 2: But losing to this had an immense consequence. Appeasing it 805 00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:51,839 Speaker 2: for a year in the Congress by the schumercrats had 806 00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:57,600 Speaker 2: an immense consequence, the building of the Ice Army being 807 00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:02,680 Speaker 2: just one of them. And so so going forward, this 808 00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:07,360 Speaker 2: all of this has to be brought to heal and 809 00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:11,160 Speaker 2: and and the obvious things have to be done so 810 00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:14,040 Speaker 2: we can talk seriously about the reforms that to be done. 811 00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:17,000 Speaker 2: One of them is is that we need to expand 812 00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:20,600 Speaker 2: the size of the House of Representatives to about six 813 00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:24,280 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty to six hundred and seventy five seats, 814 00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:29,279 Speaker 2: and this will shrink the number of districts, and it 815 00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:35,360 Speaker 2: will hopefully be accompanied by limitations on the ability to 816 00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:39,920 Speaker 2: jerry man those districts and to draw the lines we 817 00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:44,279 Speaker 2: need to. We need to end, constitutionally or otherwise the 818 00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:50,959 Speaker 2: system where the politicians pick their voters as a terrible consequence, 819 00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:57,799 Speaker 2: we have to we have to put constitutional delineations on 820 00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:03,720 Speaker 2: corporate financeing of elections and billionaire financing and free speech. 821 00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:10,120 Speaker 2: We have to figure that out in a manner consistent 822 00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:15,400 Speaker 2: with the First Amendment. But twenty percent of every dollar 823 00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:19,400 Speaker 2: now spent on politics is spend by a billionaire in 824 00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:25,600 Speaker 2: the United States. And they're an incredibly small percentage of 825 00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:31,239 Speaker 2: the population but an outsized part of the voice. And 826 00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:36,640 Speaker 2: they've become transgressive in their greed. And so the Democratic 827 00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:40,000 Speaker 2: Party has to be a party that stands up and says, 828 00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:43,360 Speaker 2: we have to take power back in the name of 829 00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:49,200 Speaker 2: the American people from a gathering of that power in 830 00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:54,280 Speaker 2: too few hands like Mark Zuckerberg's. 831 00:52:53,600 --> 00:53:04,680 Speaker 4: Hands, Elon must hands, and the AI guy's hands, and 832 00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:08,680 Speaker 4: so on and so on and so on, and so 833 00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:13,359 Speaker 4: these media companies will need to be broken up, These 834 00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,440 Speaker 4: big tech companies will need to be broken up, and 835 00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:20,560 Speaker 4: they'll need to lose their immunizations from being able to 836 00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:22,319 Speaker 4: be sued for the. 837 00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:26,360 Speaker 2: Tremendous farm they've done in the society. At some level, 838 00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:32,440 Speaker 2: what they are are the cigarette companies of the modern age. 839 00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,120 Speaker 2: And we have to get a lasso around all of 840 00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:41,839 Speaker 2: it before we get into the AI aspect of this. 841 00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:46,400 Speaker 2: We have, we have, We're gonna have millions of people 842 00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:50,640 Speaker 2: praying to AI gods and speaking to AI therapists telling 843 00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:58,200 Speaker 2: them to kill themselves. Right, not good at any any 844 00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:01,239 Speaker 2: stretch of the of the genation.

Why America is America or 849 00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:14,520 Speaker 3: that America, the difference between mag Americans and better America. 850 00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:16,239 Speaker 3: And there's so many more of you, right, you know, 851 00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,840 Speaker 3: there's so many more people that did not vote for 852 00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:21,560 Speaker 3: this and anybody who still supports it, you know, and 853 00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,040 Speaker 3: I think in there, you know, you find a little 854 00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:26,000 Speaker 3: bit of hope as a Canadian, you know, as someone 855 00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:30,480 Speaker 3: who you know, to quote my friend Soren at the 856 00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:33,000 Speaker 3: No Words March when we went with the Save of 857 00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:38,120 Speaker 3: America group Malcolm Nance, Ken Harbaugh, Denver Riggleman, who said 858 00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:42,359 Speaker 3: I want my big brother back. Canadians feel the same way, right. 859 00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:46,000 Speaker 3: The misrepresentation of those values that we're so closely held 860 00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:50,239 Speaker 3: to our own, you know, something's got to change. And 861 00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:53,320 Speaker 3: here in Canada you're doing electoral reform. We're now starting 862 00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:55,560 Speaker 3: to talk about that too.

We just saw 886 00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:55,120 Speaker 1: it with maga. 887 00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:58,200 Speaker 3: We saw it with Hitler and the Socialist Party of Germany, 888 00:55:58,200 --> 00:55:59,759 Speaker 3: which then became the Nazi Party. 889 00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:00,520 Speaker 1: Yes, that's right. 890 00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:02,480 Speaker 3: He went and asked the trade unions to make him 891 00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:04,279 Speaker 3: their leader. He said he was going to make life 892 00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:08,520 Speaker 3: better for everybody.

Illegal aliens, 970 01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:19,880 Speaker 2: as MAGA likes to call undocumented individuals, do not vote. 971 01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:26,120 Speaker 2: You have one hundred instances out of hundreds of millions 972 01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:33,160 Speaker 2: of votes cast. It's an insignificant blip of an asterisk, 973 01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:37,040 Speaker 2: of a pimple, of a decimal point of a number. 974 01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:45,080 Speaker 2: It's not a real thing. And what Donald Trump broke 975 01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:51,160 Speaker 2: was the legacy in the lineage of the peaceful transition 976 01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:54,440 Speaker 2: of power that goes all the way back to John 977 01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:58,760 Speaker 2: Adams losing an election and leaving the White House, and 978 01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:04,439 Speaker 2: what he is poison and is an idea about who 979 01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:09,760 Speaker 2: is in charge. And as a result of that poisoning, 980 01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:18,640 Speaker 2: we have seen conduct that is simply unimaginable. Not so 981 01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:24,160 Speaker 2: long ago, but now is every day masked men and 982 01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:28,480 Speaker 2: we're told that they must wear those masks to be 983 01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:35,520 Speaker 2: saved from who the mobster, the a n Arco terrorists, no, 984 01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:43,520 Speaker 2: from the soccer mom filming their misconduct, and so all 985 01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:49,240 Speaker 2: of these attacks on liberty, all of it, all of 986 01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:53,560 Speaker 2: it is that is happening. I think what Maggot needs 987 01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:59,520 Speaker 2: to understand is that as their poll numbers fall, there 988 01:01:59,880 --> 01:02:02,240 Speaker 2: is there's no place for any of us to back up. 989 01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:06,680 Speaker 2: If you're a billionaire, life is going to look very 990 01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:10,840 Speaker 2: different in five to eight years for you. A lot 991 01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:14,200 Speaker 2: of these companies are going to be broken up. You'll 992 01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:18,560 Speaker 2: be richer than King Midas himself. But the days of 993 01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:26,960 Speaker 2: empire building, the outsized influence, sitting at court at an inauguration, 994 01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:34,840 Speaker 2: all over and things have to be set to rebalance, rebalance, 995 01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:39,600 Speaker 2: and the job at government is to facilitate the happiness 996 01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:47,080 Speaker 2: of the people, to create prosperity, opportunity, security. And what 997 01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:52,200 Speaker 2: we see is a recklessness of judgment by corrupt political class, 998 01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:57,720 Speaker 2: the fruits of terrible decisions, the consequence come due. Because 999 01:02:57,720 --> 01:03:00,520 Speaker 2: we have Donald Trump as president, we can't ever have 1000 01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:03,640 Speaker 2: this again. So you want to see Democrats. We'll start 1001 01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:07,000 Speaker 2: talking about this in the weeks ahead, about that. What 1002 01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:10,920 Speaker 2: must be done, What are the hearings that must be held, 1003 01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:13,400 Speaker 2: Who are the people that must be held accountable at 1004 01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:16,320 Speaker 2: those hearings. We have to have a plan to find 1005 01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:19,120 Speaker 2: out about everything that's gone on in the name of 1006 01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:24,120 Speaker 2: the American people by MAGA, because it's been done in 1007 01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:29,560 Speaker 2: our name, though at their whim, because it's been done 1008 01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:32,720 Speaker 2: in our name. When we put a check on this, 1009 01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:36,320 Speaker 2: we get to find out everything. That's the way it works. 1010 01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:40,200 Speaker 2: That's a good place to end it. I think I 1011 01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:40,840 Speaker 2: think so too. 1012 01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:43,640 Speaker 3: While you're on that process of finding shit out, let 1013 01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:46,880 Speaker 3: me if you find out how Cash Mattel is able 1014 01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:49,400 Speaker 3: to hire Dana White to train FBI agents this morning, 1015 01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:49,840 Speaker 3: let me know. 1016 01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:55,040 Speaker 2: I just have to say one last thing about that guy. 1017 01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:56,480 Speaker 2: I knew it. I knew it. 1018 01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:57,400 Speaker 1: That's what I did it. 1019 01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:02,800 Speaker 2: Sorry, you have a lead FBI counterterror teams running around 1020 01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:10,680 Speaker 2: giving giving protection to cash.

But I think the mood of a lot 1026 01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:33,040 Speaker 2: of people in the Democratic Party, the great common Denominator 1027 01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:36,720 Speaker 2: is I think in line with what I'm going to say, 1028 01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:39,920 Speaker 2: which is I think people are looking for a candidate 1029 01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:44,120 Speaker 2: that's going to say that.
