Obama and Biden have a lot to do with this. I blame the terrorists. But Obama allowed ISIS to come about when he withdrew from Iraq. Trump destroyed the caliphate, killed Soleimani and got out of the Ron nuclear deal. And the dumb ass fight. Biden, the biggest dumbass on the planet, withdrew from Afghanistan.

A (4:34)

Okay, we'll stop there. Dumbass. Biden, the biggest dumbass on the planet. Kylie, please play the clip of Lady Graham a few years ago on Joe Biden.

C (4:43)

You can't admire Joe Biden as a person. That's probably, you got a problem, you need to do some self evaluation because what's not to like? Here's what I can tell you, that life can change just like that. Don't take it for granted. Don't take relationships for granted. I called him after Beau died and he basically said, well, Bo was my soul taught for a long time. He came to my ceremony and said some of the most incredibly heartfelt things that anybody could ever say to me. And he's the nicest person I think I've ever met in politics. Is that right? He is as good a man as God ever created.

A (5:33)

Okay, So I just think it's really important to point out right now that this is a time period when you can see people rise in the face of the monstrosity and the cruelty and the erosion of human, human rights. The abject racism, the fascism, the Nazi like use of mass agencies to separate people, the quid pro quos, the shakedowns. Some people in the Republican Party could rise up and say, look, politics aside, just like Lindsey Graham did right there when he spoke before he got completely crammed up Trump's ass so hard and sold his soul and capitulated. He said, Joe Biden's a really nice person. And I, you know, there was a lot of things that Joe Biden did that I completely disagree with. I think he should have gone after Trump. I think he should have not appointed Merrick Garland. I have a lot of critiques of Joe Biden, but I don't think he's a bad person, a bad man. And at one point Lindsey Graham had this about him. And I think what is going to remain from Trumpism, Trump's obituary was written a long, long time ago. He's going to do a lot more crazy mean shit before biology catches up with him. The fascinating component about all of this to me is how people like Lindsey Graham, Graham, Marco Rubio and others and just the people you know personally in your life, once they allowed and capitulated for something that should have been an ender and this is a deal breaker, this is a deal ender. I will never vote for this man again. Multiple things, I could list a hundred things right now. Once people morally succumb and allow for racism and allow for cruelty, they become worse as human beings. And this ensuing moral, societal, moral collapse has ensued. And you see it specifically with these former Republicans now full blown Trump cultists like Lindsey Graham humiliating himself on Fox News, calling Biden a, a dumbass with this, you know, this, this petty anger. And it's so like their whole lives are lived for this audience of one. And my thinking about this audience of one think he's all there. No even compute like oh, Lindsay went hard in the paint for me. You know, I just, I don't think anybody even is going to get the reward that they think because this guy's so far off the ledge. But just what an indictment on so many in the Republican Party. Both govern, people that govern and the voters, the family values voters that vote for this.

B (8:25)

I completely agree. And I look at Lindsay Graham, you can tell that there was a deep affection for Joe Biden when he spoke. And I equate that to all these family members in maga. You know, the, they have liberal family members, they have non political family members. But these MAGA people, they have deep affection for people in their lives but they have collapsed and they have gone so far down the rabbit hole. They are willing to ruin those relationships for a man that has to sell Trumpy Trout to make himself feel good and run around and demean people and be hateful and cruel and they don't even know which side of the bed he's going to wake up. Who are we going to hate today? Oh, we're going to love them today. We're going to hate them today. So, I mean, it's like Lindsey Graham is represents so many MAGA people that have completely cut themselves off from people they have a deep affection for. And then just one other comment on his interview. I'm tired of people saying women are hysterical. He's hysterical every time he goes on tv. Stephen Miller acts like he's just been unleashed from a straight jacket. Trump has temper tantrums all day, every day. And the immaturity and the temper tantrums do not serve American people well. And it's absolutely ridiculous that this man is our president. And one other thing, sorry I said one more comment. But he's talking about we shouldn't have left Afghanistan. What Obama did, what Joe Biden did. They were on Fox News 247 saying we need to get out of those places Trump didn't do. And then to blame Biden and Obama for Australia just, you can't even see the through line in that.

A (10:17)

Yeah, but that's the propaganda that Fox News continues to perpetuate. It was Trump that made the deal to pull out of Afghanistan and that policy was set forth and the Biden administration executed that American policy. And but these are things that whenever there's a failure in a Democratic president, it lives and lives and lives on Fox forever so that they can obstruct from what is really happening. And so that's why when the Epstein files tick up, you're going to hear a lot about Joe Biden and dementia even though he hasn't been president in almost a year. When something happens in Australia, you're going to hear something about Afghanistan. Because anytime they can deflect back to throw red meat to the viewer that, oh, remember when this happened and this was on a Democratic president's list because people cannot be faced with the fact that their more their own personal moral collapse of voting for this man. And in my opinion, that the third Trump vote, the triple after you saw what happened on January six and you voted for him despite that, you forfeit any sort of valued opinion or respected opinion to say that you care about families, you care about police officers, you care about law and order, you care about the Constitution, you care about democracy. You completely forfeited that because we've never seen anything like that before. And the continuation of people to accept him after that happened. I am exactly what has happened with this presidency is exactly what everybody predicted would happen when you elect a criminal. And so I just want to remind you that, that this president. Everything is a lie and bullshit. Everything that comes out of Fox News is a lie and bullshit. Everything that comes out of Lindsey Graham is a lie and bullshit. Here is Trump. He has declared fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction. Kylie, pop this up. Make America safe again. Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order designating fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction. Kelly, put up the next headline. Just a reminder that Trump pardoned Silk Road Dark Web market creator Ross Ul. President Donald Trump says he assigned a full and unconditional pardon for Ross Ulbrite who operated Silk Road, the dark wed marketplace where illegal drugs were sold. And do you want to know what the number one illegal drug that was sold on his website was? Pumps. Oh, tell me. Yeah, so it's just it, it's number one. You can't declare a drug a weapon of mass destruction. This is giving George W. Bush, Sidney, Colin Powell, United Nations, Iraq vibes. They're wanting to lead us into a war with Venezuela. And this is giving the exact same George W. Bush where they want to do regime changes. These regime changes are highly unpopular with the American public. The American public has immense fatigue in our taxpayer dollars doing a regime change like we did in Iraq, which was one based on a lie, which they're about to do in Venezuela, which now they are setting up the propaganda to do it. Because this autocrat will do everything in his power to keep and concentrate power. And this, these midterms are rolling out and everybody in the Republican Party, from Fox to the president to Susie Wiles, everybody is saying, we know we're in huge trouble. Even Donald Trump is admitting it. We are in massive trouble for the midterms. So mitigating things for this can be. If the country's at war, oftentimes the electorate will vote to keep the party in power. It's like a psychological shift in the electorate. So it's important to keep our eyes on these things and expose how this alleged America first party consistently and constantly is the opposite of America First. First and foremost, foremost, it is Donald Trump first, number two, his family members, number three, his personal billionaire allies. And a lot of those allies are not Americans. They are people in Saudi Arabia, people in Qatar, people in Argentina, people all over the world that will participate in these quid pro quo shakedowns. And most of the devastatingly is this faux America first party, which is, in fact, America last. Because he has taken every asset the country of America, both governmental and private sector has. And he is putting it up for sale, whether it be our chips, our military airplanes. He's allowing other countries to build military bases in the United States of America. This is a very dangerous, bad person. And you have media that is being taken over by propagandists that are far more interested in airing the Candace Owens, Eric Kirk, real housewives of D.C. conspiracy theory versus conspiracy theory, religious psychosis versus just plain old psychosis. Instead of covering really serious news like the Washington Post did during the Nixon era. And so it is a really important time to lock in as to what's coming when you see that he's signaling that fentanyl is a weapon of mass destruction. Remember history. Remember what happened when Colin Powell went over and that was the biggest regret on his deathbed was that lie that he perpetrated at the instruction of Dick Cheney and George W. Bush and Rumsfeld and all these other neocons. And the neocons were awful, awful. They made me crazy during that time. These people are worse. And I didn't think that was possible.

B (17:54)

No, I completely agree on that. And I also think this designation when you see that they are worried about the International Criminal Court investigating and charging this administration with war crimes because, you know, they're trying to make the ICC change their bylaws. But this would go to it's not a war crime because we designated fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction, which I would assume anybody with an IQ over 100 would say, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. It does not justify murdering fishermen without due process. But we'll see.
