Trump Betrayed His Voters on Behalf of a Foreign Country. This Is Why Republicans Will Get Crushed.

So things are not looking good for So things are not looking good for Republicans. The midterm elections are Republicans. The midterm elections are Republicans. The midterm elections are less than two months away, first Tuesday less than two months away, first Tuesday less than two months away, first Tuesday of November. And the polling suggests, of November. And the polling suggests, of November. And the polling suggests, extent, you can believe the polling that extent, you can believe the polling that extent, you can believe the polling that Republicans are definitely going to lose Republicans are definitely going to lose Republicans are definitely going to lose the House of Representatives. They hold the House of Representatives. They hold the House of Representatives. They hold by a tiny margin, but also it now looks by a tiny margin, but also it now looks by a tiny margin, but also it now looks likely, the United States Senate. And likely, the United States Senate. And likely, the United States Senate. And you know, again, it's impossible to know you know, again, it's impossible to know you know, again, it's impossible to know what the future holds, but if you had to what the future holds, but if you had to what the future holds, but if you had to bet on it, if you were trying to make a bet on it, if you were trying to make a bet on it, if you were trying to make a fortune on poly market, you would fortune on poly market, you would fortune on poly market, you would probably bet that Democrats walk away in probably bet that Democrats walk away in probably bet that Democrats walk away in less than two months with both houses of less than two months with both houses of less than two months with both houses of Congress with control of the legislative Congress with control of the legislative Congress with control of the legislative branch. branch. branch. So, what does that mean and what's So, what does that mean and what's So, what does that mean and what's likely to happen after? Well, again, we likely to happen after? Well, again, we likely to happen after? Well, again, we don't know. You can imagine all kinds of don't know. You can imagine all kinds of don't know. You can imagine all kinds of things, but some things seem more likely things, but some things seem more likely things, but some things seem more likely than others. One, Democrats probably than others. One, Democrats probably than others. One, Democrats probably will will will initiate some kind of proceeding against initiate some kind of proceeding against initiate some kind of proceeding against the president and against people who the president and against people who the president and against people who work for him. Maybe an impeachment work for him. Maybe an impeachment work for him. Maybe an impeachment against him. Certainly, a lot of people against him. Certainly, a lot of people against him. Certainly, a lot of people who work at the White House are going to who work at the White House are going to who work at the White House are going to get subpoenas. There may be criminal get subpoenas. There may be criminal get subpoenas. There may be criminal actions or an attempt to initiate actions or an attempt to initiate actions or an attempt to initiate criminal actions. There's going to be a criminal actions. There's going to be a criminal actions. There's going to be a explosion of partisan explosion of partisan explosion of partisan fighting in Washington because the party fighting in Washington because the party fighting in Washington because the party that just took the House and Senate is that just took the House and Senate is that just took the House and Senate is going to be under pressure from its going to be under pressure from its going to be under pressure from its voters to do something once they got voters to do something once they got voters to do something once they got there. People voted Democrat because there. People voted Democrat because there. People voted Democrat because they're mad at Trump.

they're mad at Trump. they're mad at Trump. And so they're going to expect their And so they're going to expect their And so they're going to expect their representatives to punish Trump in some representatives to punish Trump in some representatives to punish Trump in some way. So you can just imagine that the way. So you can just imagine that the way. So you can just imagine that the second two years of the second Trump second two years of the second Trump second two years of the second Trump administration will be at least on administration will be at least on administration will be at least on domestic matters pretty absorbed by domestic matters pretty absorbed by domestic matters pretty absorbed by political fighting. So how does the political fighting. So how does the political fighting. So how does the president respond to that? Well again we president respond to that? Well again we president respond to that? Well again we can't know but if we had to guess he'll can't know but if we had to guess he'll can't know but if we had to guess he'll likely respond like previous presidents likely respond like previous presidents likely respond like previous presidents have responded and that's by turning his have responded and that's by turning his have responded and that's by turning his attention outside the country. Well, of attention outside the country. Well, of attention outside the country. Well, of course, he already is totally absorbed course, he already is totally absorbed course, he already is totally absorbed in what's happening outside our country in what's happening outside our country in what's happening outside our country because we're now fighting two wars because we're now fighting two wars because we're now fighting two wars against near peer adversaries, Russia against near peer adversaries, Russia against near peer adversaries, Russia and Iran, and we're not succeeding in and Iran, and we're not succeeding in and Iran, and we're not succeeding in either war. So you can imagine President either war. So you can imagine President either war. So you can imagine President Trump in frustration or out of a kind of Trump in frustration or out of a kind of Trump in frustration or out of a kind of natural desire to exert power doubling natural desire to exert power doubling natural desire to exert power doubling down in both of those conflicts. many down in both of those conflicts. many down in both of those conflicts. many ground troops for example, just guessing ground troops for example, just guessing ground troops for example, just guessing here here here in Iran accelerating rather than pulling in Iran accelerating rather than pulling in Iran accelerating rather than pulling back because the one thing you know no back because the one thing you know no back because the one thing you know no matter how much Democrats say they hate matter how much Democrats say they hate matter how much Democrats say they hate Donald Trump, they will not try to Donald Trump, they will not try to Donald Trump, they will not try to restrain his unconstitutional power, the restrain his unconstitutional power, the restrain his unconstitutional power, the power he's assumed to declare war power he's assumed to declare war power he's assumed to declare war without approval from Congress. Like the without approval from Congress. Like the without approval from Congress. Like the president now possesses the power to president now possesses the power to president now possesses the power to commit troops wherever he wants despite commit troops wherever he wants despite commit troops wherever he wants despite the fact the Constitution prohibits the fact the Constitution prohibits the fact the Constitution prohibits that. Lots of presidents have used that that. Lots of presidents have used that that. Lots of presidents have used that power for therefore it exists and power for therefore it exists and power for therefore it exists and probably always will and they're not probably always will and they're not probably always will and they're not going to do anything about it because going to do anything about it because going to do anything about it because ultimately they agree with him. They may ultimately they agree with him. They may ultimately they agree with him. They may hate Trump but they're neocons just like

hate Trump but they're neocons just like hate Trump but they're neocons just like he is. So they support what he's doing he is. So they support what he's doing he is. So they support what he's doing in Iran. Maybe they don't think he's in Iran. Maybe they don't think he's in Iran. Maybe they don't think he's doing a good job of it, but the idea of doing a good job of it, but the idea of doing a good job of it, but the idea of a regime change war against Iran, the a regime change war against Iran, the a regime change war against Iran, the Democratic leadership is for that. Chuck Democratic leadership is for that. Chuck Democratic leadership is for that. Chuck Schumer has said he's for that. Schumer has said he's for that. Schumer has said he's for that. So it seems probable at least that if So it seems probable at least that if So it seems probable at least that if Trump say gets impeached we will have an Trump say gets impeached we will have an Trump say gets impeached we will have an acceleration in the war against Iran and acceleration in the war against Iran and acceleration in the war against Iran and maybe in the war against Russia. maybe in the war against Russia. maybe in the war against Russia. And at that point we'll all be so caught And at that point we'll all be so caught And at that point we'll all be so caught up in that disaster that we probably up in that disaster that we probably up in that disaster that we probably won't have a chance to think about why won't have a chance to think about why won't have a chance to think about why did power change hands so dramatically did power change hands so dramatically did power change hands so dramatically in the midterms. And you'll hear people in the midterms. And you'll hear people in the midterms. And you'll hear people say well that always happens. you know, say well that always happens. you know, say well that always happens. you know, the president's party tends to lose the president's party tends to lose the president's party tends to lose seats in the midterm elections. And of seats in the midterm elections. And of seats in the midterm elections. And of course, that's true. course, that's true. course, that's true. Haven't checked the numbers, but it Haven't checked the numbers, but it Haven't checked the numbers, but it seems even more true in the second term. seems even more true in the second term. seems even more true in the second term. So, this is just kind of conventional. So, this is just kind of conventional. So, this is just kind of conventional. This is what happens. This is what happens. This is what happens. But that's not exactly right. That's not But that's not exactly right. That's not But that's not exactly right. That's not the only reason. People don't vote the only reason. People don't vote the only reason. People don't vote against the president's party just against the president's party just against the president's party just because they always have in the past.

because they always have in the past. because they always have in the past. President Trump won a larger share of President Trump won a larger share of President Trump won a larger share of the popular vote than any Republican the popular vote than any Republican the popular vote than any Republican president in a long time. He came into president in a long time. He came into president in a long time. He came into office more popular than a Republican office more popular than a Republican office more popular than a Republican president had been. Certainly much more president had been. Certainly much more president had been. Certainly much more popular than he was in the first term. popular than he was in the first term. popular than he was in the first term. And now he's deeply unpopular. So And now he's deeply unpopular. So And now he's deeply unpopular. So something changed. And it's worth something changed. And it's worth something changed. And it's worth pausing just for a minute to think pausing just for a minute to think pausing just for a minute to think through what that is. through what that is. through what that is. Why is it that Trump, who a year and a Why is it that Trump, who a year and a Why is it that Trump, who a year and a half ago was popular and probably could half ago was popular and probably could half ago was popular and probably could have done a lot of different things, have done a lot of different things, have done a lot of different things, is now looking at a total wipeout and is now looking at a total wipeout and is now looking at a total wipeout and likely impeachment. And if you had to likely impeachment. And if you had to likely impeachment. And if you had to sum it up in one word, that word would sum it up in one word, that word would sum it up in one word, that word would be betrayal. be betrayal. be betrayal. So in other words, it's it's not just So in other words, it's it's not just So in other words, it's it's not just that Trump was elected president and that Trump was elected president and that Trump was elected president and didn't do a very good job. We we just didn't do a very good job. We we just didn't do a very good job. We we just saw that with the last president. We saw that with the last president. We saw that with the last president. We elect the guy and oops, turns out he has elect the guy and oops, turns out he has elect the guy and oops, turns out he has dementia. dementia. dementia. No, this is a different thing. No, this is a different thing. No, this is a different thing. This is the process of electing a This is the process of electing a This is the process of electing a president on the basis of promises he'll president on the basis of promises he'll president on the basis of promises he'll do one thing and then watching him do do one thing and then watching him do do one thing and then watching him do exactly the opposite on purpose, not exactly the opposite on purpose, not exactly the opposite on purpose, not forced to. There was no reason that forced to. There was no reason that forced to. There was no reason that Trump had to sell out his voters. There Trump had to sell out his voters. There Trump had to sell out his voters. There was no economic reason. There was no was no economic reason. There was no was no economic reason. There was no strategic reason. He just decided to.

strategic reason. He just decided to. strategic reason. He just decided to. Now, why he decided to is a whole Now, why he decided to is a whole Now, why he decided to is a whole separate conversation that historians, separate conversation that historians, separate conversation that historians, one hopes we'll get to the bottom of at one hopes we'll get to the bottom of at one hopes we'll get to the bottom of at some point. some point. some point. But whatever the motive, we know that But whatever the motive, we know that But whatever the motive, we know that that's exactly what he did. He ran on that's exactly what he did. He ran on that's exactly what he did. He ran on one thing and did the opposite of that one thing and did the opposite of that one thing and did the opposite of that thing. And that is once again betrayal. thing. And that is once again betrayal. thing. And that is once again betrayal. And betrayal is always the worst thing. And betrayal is always the worst thing. And betrayal is always the worst thing. In marriage, betrayal is called In marriage, betrayal is called In marriage, betrayal is called cheating. In business, betrayal is cheating. In business, betrayal is cheating. In business, betrayal is called embezzlement. called embezzlement. called embezzlement. And it's always a bitter experience to And it's always a bitter experience to And it's always a bitter experience to find out someone you thought was your find out someone you thought was your find out someone you thought was your ally is in fact your enemy, is working ally is in fact your enemy, is working ally is in fact your enemy, is working against your interest. You thought you against your interest. You thought you against your interest. You thought you were working in concert. We're in this were working in concert. We're in this were working in concert. We're in this together. together. together. And then you find out that the person is And then you find out that the person is And then you find out that the person is actually working against you. That's actually working against you. That's actually working against you. That's called treachery. called treachery. called treachery. And it's unforgivable. That's why no one And it's unforgivable. That's why no one And it's unforgivable. That's why no one for 2,000 years has named his child for 2,000 years has named his child for 2,000 years has named his child Judas Judas Judas because treachery is abominable to all because treachery is abominable to all because treachery is abominable to all people at all times. There's something people at all times. There's something people at all times. There's something inherently disgusting about it. And inherently disgusting about it. And inherently disgusting about it. And that's exactly what we're looking at as that's exactly what we're looking at as that's exactly what we're looking at as we approach the halfway mark in Trump's we approach the halfway mark in Trump's we approach the halfway mark in Trump's second term as president. So rather than second term as president. So rather than second term as president. So rather than just assert that, we thought it'd be just assert that, we thought it'd be just assert that, we thought it'd be interesting to spend a few minutes going interesting to spend a few minutes going interesting to spend a few minutes going back and looking back and looking back and looking at the promises that the current at the promises that the current at the promises that the current president made right before he was president made right before he was president made right before he was elected president. Now, part of this is elected president. Now, part of this is elected president. Now, part of this is exculpatory for those of us who voted exculpatory for those of us who voted exculpatory for those of us who voted for Trump and who did so with sincerity, for Trump and who did so with sincerity, for Trump and who did so with sincerity, not in the hope of getting rich or not in the hope of getting rich or not in the hope of getting rich or getting a cabinet position, not donors getting a cabinet position, not donors getting a cabinet position, not donors to the campaign, merely cheerleaders for to the campaign, merely cheerleaders for to the campaign, merely cheerleaders for it. We have to answer the question like, it. We have to answer the question like, it. We have to answer the question like, why did you do that? Why did you think why did you do that? Why did you think why did you do that? Why did you think this guy with, you know, a trail of

this guy with, you know, a trail of this guy with, you know, a trail of bankruptcies and personal betrayals, why bankruptcies and personal betrayals, why bankruptcies and personal betrayals, why did you think he would be true to his did you think he would be true to his did you think he would be true to his word in this case? And that, you know, word in this case? And that, you know, word in this case? And that, you know, it's a fair question, but part of the it's a fair question, but part of the it's a fair question, but part of the answer is because the things he was answer is because the things he was answer is because the things he was saying were just so spot-on. They were saying were just so spot-on. They were saying were just so spot-on. They were such precise descriptions of the such precise descriptions of the such precise descriptions of the problems, the actual problems, not Hamas problems, the actual problems, not Hamas problems, the actual problems, not Hamas or Islamic Shihad, but the real problems or Islamic Shihad, but the real problems or Islamic Shihad, but the real problems that Americans face. Donald Trump was that Americans face. Donald Trump was that Americans face. Donald Trump was able to capture and distill them very able to capture and distill them very able to capture and distill them very very well. And just two years later, very well. And just two years later, very well. And just two years later, it's hard to remember any of that. It's it's hard to remember any of that. It's it's hard to remember any of that. It's hard to remember that this guy who's now hard to remember that this guy who's now hard to remember that this guy who's now funding the whole purpose of the funding the whole purpose of the funding the whole purpose of the administration is to squaltch criticism administration is to squaltch criticism administration is to squaltch criticism of Israel and sniff out anti-semitism, of Israel and sniff out anti-semitism, of Israel and sniff out anti-semitism, America's biggest problem, or whatever America's biggest problem, or whatever America's biggest problem, or whatever they think they're doing. There's they think they're doing. There's they think they're doing. There's nothing to do with any real problem that nothing to do with any real problem that nothing to do with any real problem that most Americans face. It's like most Americans face. It's like most Americans face. It's like completely insane. It's hard to remember completely insane. It's hard to remember completely insane. It's hard to remember that this guy not so long ago seemed to that this guy not so long ago seemed to that this guy not so long ago seemed to have his finger very much on the pulse have his finger very much on the pulse have his finger very much on the pulse like he knew what was wrong with the like he knew what was wrong with the like he knew what was wrong with the country and he said so again and again country and he said so again and again country and he said so again and again and again and so again it is kind of a and again and so again it is kind of a and again and so again it is kind of a way of explaining the behavior of those way of explaining the behavior of those way of explaining the behavior of those of us who voted for Trump and saying we of us who voted for Trump and saying we of us who voted for Trump and saying we didn't know listen to this but it's also didn't know listen to this but it's also didn't know listen to this but it's also just interesting because it really just interesting because it really just interesting because it really reveals the totality of the 180 this guy reveals the totality of the 180 this guy reveals the totality of the 180 this guy took in less than two years so Let's took in less than two years so Let's took in less than two years so Let's start at the beginning. This is a clip start at the beginning. This is a clip start at the beginning. This is a clip from midway through 2023. So, this is from midway through 2023. So, this is from midway through 2023. So, this is the point in which Trump is in the the point in which Trump is in the the point in which Trump is in the middle of all these legal dramas.

middle of all these legal dramas. middle of all these legal dramas. They're trying to send him to prison for They're trying to send him to prison for They're trying to send him to prison for the rest of his life and he's decided, the rest of his life and he's decided, the rest of his life and he's decided, I'm going to run for president and I'm going to run for president and I'm going to run for president and here's why. And we're starting with this here's why. And we're starting with this here's why. And we're starting with this clip because it really sums it up. It clip because it really sums it up. It clip because it really sums it up. It sums up the reason that people voted for sums up the reason that people voted for sums up the reason that people voted for Donald Trump. Donald Trump was above all Donald Trump. Donald Trump was above all Donald Trump. Donald Trump was above all else the enemy of something called the else the enemy of something called the else the enemy of something called the deep state. Watch this. deep state. Watch this. deep state. Watch this. The stakes of this election could not be The stakes of this election could not be The stakes of this election could not be more clear. Either we surrender to the more clear. Either we surrender to the more clear. Either we surrender to the demonic forces abolishing and demonic forces abolishing and demonic forces abolishing and demolishing and happily doing so our demolishing and happily doing so our demolishing and happily doing so our country or we defeat them in a landslide country or we defeat them in a landslide country or we defeat them in a landslide on November 5th, 2024. [cheering] the deep state destroys America or we the deep state destroys America or we destroy the deep state. And that's the destroy the deep state. And that's the destroy the deep state. And that's the way it's got to be. way it's got to be. way it's got to be. >> So the reason that's so compelling is >> So the reason that's so compelling is >> So the reason that's so compelling is because it's the grand thesis of the because it's the grand thesis of the because it's the grand thesis of the entire Trump project. And it's true.

entire Trump project. And it's true. entire Trump project. And it's true. America's problems are systemic America's problems are systemic America's problems are systemic problems. meaning the system itself problems. meaning the system itself problems. meaning the system itself doesn't function as designed or at least doesn't function as designed or at least doesn't function as designed or at least as intended. And everything else we're as intended. And everything else we're as intended. And everything else we're dealing with is a result of that fact. dealing with is a result of that fact. dealing with is a result of that fact. So on the most basic level, this is a So on the most basic level, this is a So on the most basic level, this is a democratic system. The people own the democratic system. The people own the democratic system. The people own the country. They elect leaders to speak for country. They elect leaders to speak for country. They elect leaders to speak for them in Washington. And they have a them in Washington. And they have a them in Washington. And they have a legitimate expectation of seeing the legitimate expectation of seeing the legitimate expectation of seeing the country molded to their desire since country molded to their desire since country molded to their desire since they are the shareholders. And that's they are the shareholders. And that's they are the shareholders. And that's the whole point of the system is to the whole point of the system is to the whole point of the system is to reflect the view of the public in reflect the view of the public in reflect the view of the public in legislation in Washington and in the legislation in Washington and in the legislation in Washington and in the actions of the executive branch. And actions of the executive branch. And actions of the executive branch. And that hasn't been true for a long time that hasn't been true for a long time that hasn't been true for a long time now. A lot of us have been slow on the now. A lot of us have been slow on the now. A lot of us have been slow on the uptake here. Taken us a while to figure uptake here. Taken us a while to figure uptake here. Taken us a while to figure that out because of this sideshow. It that out because of this sideshow. It that out because of this sideshow. It turns out that's called partisan turns out that's called partisan turns out that's called partisan politics where you have these two politics where you have these two politics where you have these two parties that are fundamentally in parties that are fundamentally in parties that are fundamentally in agreement on the things that really agreement on the things that really agreement on the things that really matter, economics and foreign policy, matter, economics and foreign policy, matter, economics and foreign policy, but fight about a sliver of issues in but fight about a sliver of issues in but fight about a sliver of issues in the middle. And they fight in such a the middle. And they fight in such a the middle. And they fight in such a ferocious way that bystanders, the rest ferocious way that bystanders, the rest ferocious way that bystanders, the rest of us, think this is really real. These of us, think this is really real. These of us, think this is really real. These people hate each other. If only they people hate each other. If only they people hate each other. If only they would just get along. If only Tip O'Neal would just get along. If only Tip O'Neal would just get along. If only Tip O'Neal could have a drink with Ronald Reagan at could have a drink with Ronald Reagan at could have a drink with Ronald Reagan at the end of the day, the system might the end of the day, the system might the end of the day, the system might work. But that of course is an inversion work. But that of course is an inversion work. But that of course is an inversion of the truth. The problem isn't that the of the truth. The problem isn't that the of the truth. The problem isn't that the leaders of the two party don't agree on leaders of the two party don't agree on leaders of the two party don't agree on anything. The problem is that they agree anything. The problem is that they agree anything. The problem is that they agree on everything that matters and the rest on everything that matters and the rest on everything that matters and the rest of us weren't cut in on the joke.

of us weren't cut in on the joke. of us weren't cut in on the joke. And the effect, and by the way, this is And the effect, and by the way, this is And the effect, and by the way, this is very obvious to the rest of the world. very obvious to the rest of the world. very obvious to the rest of the world. Talk to anybody who watches American Talk to anybody who watches American Talk to anybody who watches American politics closely from abroad, a politics closely from abroad, a politics closely from abroad, a sophisticated foreign observer, starting sophisticated foreign observer, starting sophisticated foreign observer, starting with Putin, who's made this point many with Putin, who's made this point many with Putin, who's made this point many times. What do you think of Putin? Not times. What do you think of Putin? Not times. What do you think of Putin? Not stupid. They all know this. It's stupid. They all know this. It's stupid. They all know this. It's obvious, as people used to rofily say in obvious, as people used to rofily say in obvious, as people used to rofily say in Washington, no matter who you vote for, Washington, no matter who you vote for, Washington, no matter who you vote for, you get John McCain. And that's kind of you get John McCain. And that's kind of you get John McCain. And that's kind of true. When was the last time we had a true. When was the last time we had a true. When was the last time we had a president who really disagreed with John president who really disagreed with John president who really disagreed with John McCain on foreign policy or economics? McCain on foreign policy or economics? McCain on foreign policy or economics? When was the last time we had a When was the last time we had a When was the last time we had a president who wasn't embroiled in some president who wasn't embroiled in some president who wasn't embroiled in some kind of financial corruption as John kind of financial corruption as John kind of financial corruption as John McCain was during the savings and loan McCain was during the savings and loan McCain was during the savings and loan scandal in the 80s? Can't really scandal in the 80s? Can't really scandal in the 80s? Can't really remember. remember. remember. So you always get a neocon president who So you always get a neocon president who So you always get a neocon president who believes in monopoly capitalism and believes in monopoly capitalism and believes in monopoly capitalism and somehow gets rich in the process. That's somehow gets rich in the process. That's somehow gets rich in the process. That's not a two-party system. That's a one not a two-party system. That's a one not a two-party system. That's a one party system. That is the deep state. So party system. That is the deep state. So party system. That is the deep state. So when Trump said deep state, that's very when Trump said deep state, that's very when Trump said deep state, that's very different from saying those dastardly different from saying those dastardly different from saying those dastardly Democrats, that scenile president and Democrats, that scenile president and Democrats, that scenile president and his wine mom running mate, they're bad.

his wine mom running mate, they're bad. his wine mom running mate, they're bad. Well, yeah, okay, they're bad. But that Well, yeah, okay, they're bad. But that Well, yeah, okay, they're bad. But that doesn't begin to touch the scale of the doesn't begin to touch the scale of the doesn't begin to touch the scale of the badness. What's actually bad is the fact badness.

The second problem is you don't have rule of law problem is you don't have rule of law problem is you don't have rule of law when you have an oligarchy because there when you have an oligarchy because there when you have an oligarchy because there are always people who are exempt from are always people who are exempt from are always people who are exempt from the rules. And in our system, this the rules. And in our system, this the rules. And in our system, this reaches its most obvious manifestation reaches its most obvious manifestation reaches its most obvious manifestation in identity politics. So you have, you in identity politics. So you have, you in identity politics. So you have, you know, everyone's an American. 340 know, everyone's an American. 340 know, everyone's an American. 340 million of us are Americans. But certain million of us are Americans.

There are of us have to abide by. There are of us have to abide by. There are separate books. Not all of us are judged separate books. Not all of us are judged separate books. Not all of us are judged by the same set of standards. by the same set of standards. by the same set of standards. And that is inherently immoral. It's And that is inherently immoral. It's And that is inherently immoral. It's obviously unfair. It makes a mockery of obviously unfair. It makes a mockery of obviously unfair. It makes a mockery of the idea of citizenship. And it's the idea of citizenship. And it's the idea of citizenship. And it's corrosive of the social fabric. If you corrosive of the social fabric. If you corrosive of the social fabric. If you think your neighbor is getting a special think your neighbor is getting a special think your neighbor is getting a special deal, by definition, you hate your deal, by definition, you hate your deal, by definition, you hate your neighbor.

We're all in everyone else is doing it. We're all in this together, guys. But we're not.

this together, guys. But we're not. this together, guys. But we're not. And that's what we've learned. But we And that's what we've learned. But we And that's what we've learned. But we were never all in it together. Not as were never all in it together. Not as were never all in it together. Not as long as the country was run by an long as the country was run by an long as the country was run by an oligarchy. Of course, by definition, oligarchy. Of course, by definition, oligarchy. Of course, by definition, there is no rule of law if certain there is no rule of law if certain there is no rule of law if certain people don't have to follow the law or people don't have to follow the law or people don't have to follow the law or even the standards, the customs, the even the standards, the customs, the even the standards, the customs, the mores don't apply to certain people. mores don't apply to certain people. mores don't apply to certain people. So, this is the core problem. Trump So, this is the core problem. Trump So, this is the core problem. Trump recognized it. Now, how do you fix it? recognized it. Now, how do you fix it? recognized it. Now, how do you fix it? Well, one of the ways you fix it is by Well, one of the ways you fix it is by Well, one of the ways you fix it is by letting everybody know what's been going letting everybody know what's been going letting everybody know what's been going on. And you know there's a level on on. And you know there's a level on on. And you know there's a level on which it's really hard to know what the which it's really hard to know what the which it's really hard to know what the truth about anything is. But a good truth about anything is. But a good truth about anything is. But a good first step is declassification. first step is declassification. first step is declassification. And the only reason that this system has And the only reason that this system has And the only reason that this system has been allowed to grow to the extent that been allowed to grow to the extent that been allowed to grow to the extent that it has a $7 trillion annual budget for a it has a $7 trillion annual budget for a it has a $7 trillion annual budget for a system that does not represent or serve system that does not represent or serve system that does not represent or serve the citizens of this country. The only the citizens of this country. The only the citizens of this country. The only reason that's been allowed to happen is reason that's been allowed to happen is reason that's been allowed to happen is because most people have no idea what because most people have no idea what because most people have no idea what the government is actually doing. the government is actually doing. the government is actually doing. And they don't know because what the And they don't know because what the And they don't know because what the government is actually doing is government is actually doing is government is actually doing is classified. And they've been allowed to classified. And they've been allowed to classified. And they've been allowed to skate for many decades, certainly since skate for many decades, certainly since skate for many decades, certainly since the beginning of the Cold War on the the beginning of the Cold War on the the beginning of the Cold War on the idea that you can't know for national idea that you can't know for national idea that you can't know for national security reasons. And we can't tell you security reasons. And we can't tell you security reasons. And we can't tell you more than that. Sources and methods.

more than that. Sources and methods. more than that. Sources and methods. And that is why after all these many And that is why after all these many And that is why after all these many decades, we really don't know very much, decades, we really don't know very much, decades, we really don't know very much, certainly not the whole story about certainly not the whole story about certainly not the whole story about pivotal moments in American or world pivotal moments in American or world pivotal moments in American or world history. 9/11, history. 9/11, history. 9/11, the anniversary is this week. the anniversary is this week. the anniversary is this week.

But yeah, I'd be inclined to do the But yeah, I'd be inclined to do the But yeah, I'd be inclined to do the Epstein. I'd have no problem with it. Epstein. I'd have no problem with it. Epstein. I'd have no problem with it. I'd have no problem with it. Well, of I'd have no problem with it. Well, of I'd have no problem with it. Well, of course, he's had a huge problem with it. course, he's had a huge problem with it. course, he's had a huge problem with it. And to this day, they haven't released a And to this day, they haven't released a And to this day, they haven't released a huge cache of Epstein files. Don't let huge cache of Epstein files. Don't let huge cache of Epstein files. Don't let them lie to you, they haven't. And those them lie to you, they haven't. And those them lie to you, they haven't.

And that dip bookends to say a dip. And that dip bookends to say a dip. And that dip bookends 9/11. 9/11. 9/11. So apparently So apparently So apparently from the analysis that we have seen and from the analysis that we have seen and from the analysis that we have seen and we think it's real, the files that the we think it's real, the files that the we think it's real, the files that the US government has not released US government has not released US government has not released pertaining to Ebstein are around 9/11.

pertaining to Ebstein are around 9/11. pertaining to Ebstein are around 9/11.

But during the period before, during and immediately after 911, we during and immediately after 911, we during and immediately after 911, we don't have the files. So why is that? don't have the files. So why is that? don't have the files. So why is that? Well, no one will even answer the Well, no one will even answer the Well, no one will even answer the question, of course. So, there's a question, of course. So, there's a question, of course.

I mean, everybody can find out instantly what everybody can find out instantly what everybody can find out instantly what commodity prices are. And of course, commodity prices are. And of course, commodity prices are. And of course, when it comes to fuel, you find out when it comes to fuel, you find out when it comes to fuel, you find out every week when you fill up. So, Trump every week when you fill up. So, Trump every week when you fill up. So, Trump didn't want this. And he knew that the didn't want this. And he knew that the didn't want this. And he knew that the war with Iran, he knew the ongoing war war with Iran, he knew the ongoing war war with Iran, he knew the ongoing war with Russia, both of those wars are with Russia, both of those wars are with Russia, both of those wars are responsible for the spike in energy responsible for the spike in energy responsible for the spike in energy prices, not just in this country, but prices, not just in this country, but prices, not just in this country, but globally. and he knew that going into a globally. and he knew that going into a globally. and he knew that going into a regime change war with Iran would spike regime change war with Iran would spike regime change war with Iran would spike energy prices. He said that privately, energy prices. He said that privately, energy prices. He said that privately, including to me. So, it's not like he including to me. So, it's not like he including to me. So, it's not like he didn't know this was going to happen, didn't know this was going to happen, didn't know this was going to happen, but for whatever reason, and again, but for whatever reason, and again, but for whatever reason, and again, historians will maybe untangle uh this

historians will maybe untangle uh this historians will maybe untangle uh this mystery, he chose following Israel into mystery, he chose following Israel into mystery, he chose following Israel into this war over lowering energy costs for this war over lowering energy costs for this war over lowering energy costs for his own population. his own population. his own population. And so that was inevitable like this was And so that was inevitable like this was And so that was inevitable like this was always going to happen once he decided always going to happen once he decided always going to happen once he decided to follow a foreign country into an to follow a foreign country into an to follow a foreign country into an unwinable regime change war. So maybe unwinable regime change war. So maybe unwinable regime change war. So maybe the lesson here is don't do that. the lesson here is don't do that. the lesson here is don't do that. And of course this gets the core of And of course this gets the core of And of course this gets the core of everything. It gets to the reason that everything. It gets to the reason that everything. It gets to the reason that Trump betrayed his voters because he Trump betrayed his voters because he Trump betrayed his voters because he followed not their wishes but the wishes followed not their wishes but the wishes followed not their wishes but the wishes of a foreign government. That's just a of a foreign government. That's just a of a foreign government. That's just a fact. You wish that wasn't true because fact. You wish that wasn't true because fact. You wish that wasn't true because it's the kind of thing when you say it it's the kind of thing when you say it it's the kind of thing when you say it out loud that inspires a massive out loud that inspires a massive out loud that inspires a massive response, a hateful response, and who response, a hateful response, and who response, a hateful response, and who wants that? But it is undeniably true. wants that? But it is undeniably true. wants that? But it is undeniably true. That's not the fault of people who point That's not the fault of people who point That's not the fault of people who point it out. That's the fault of the people it out. That's the fault of the people it out. That's the fault of the people who did it. who did it. who did it. And so Trump's And so Trump's And so Trump's distinguishing quality as a candidate, distinguishing quality as a candidate, distinguishing quality as a candidate, as a president in his first term, was as a president in his first term, was as a president in his first term, was not his pledge to lower energy prices.

not his pledge to lower energy prices. not his pledge to lower energy prices. Everybody promises to do that. Get rid Everybody promises to do that. Get rid Everybody promises to do that. Get rid of drugs. Of course, that's been tried, of drugs. Of course, that's been tried, of drugs. Of course, that's been tried, though not very uh hard. No. What made though not very uh hard. No. What made though not very uh hard. No. What made Trump different was he was going to Trump different was he was going to Trump different was he was going to avoid foreign entanglements. He wasn't avoid foreign entanglements. He wasn't avoid foreign entanglements. He wasn't going to have another neocon war. And going to have another neocon war. And going to have another neocon war. And there was already a neocon war in there was already a neocon war in there was already a neocon war in progress. The war between the United progress. The war between the United progress. The war between the United States and Russia, which we mistakenly, States and Russia, which we mistakenly, States and Russia, which we mistakenly, misleadingly sometimes refer to as the misleadingly sometimes refer to as the misleadingly sometimes refer to as the Ukraine war. It's never been a Ukraine Ukraine war. It's never been a Ukraine Ukraine war. It's never been a Ukraine war. It's a war between NATO, which is war. It's a war between NATO, which is war. It's a war between NATO, which is our coalition, North Atlantic Treaty our coalition, North Atlantic Treaty our coalition, North Atlantic Treaty Organization that we run and fund, Organization that we run and fund, Organization that we run and fund, and Russia. In other words, it's a war and Russia. In other words, it's a war and Russia. In other words, it's a war between the US and Russia. between the US and Russia. between the US and Russia. And And And that war, which began in the winter of that war, which began in the winter of that war, which began in the winter of 2022, 2022, 2022, was inspired by the Biden was inspired by the Biden was inspired by the Biden administration, which wanted it. So the administration, which wanted it. So the administration, which wanted it. So the United States in the most passive United States in the most passive United States in the most passive aggressive possible way, our leadership aggressive possible way, our leadership aggressive possible way, our leadership pushed Russia into this war so that the pushed Russia into this war so that the pushed Russia into this war so that the United States could defeat or weaken United States could defeat or weaken United States could defeat or weaken Russia. No one's ever defined what Russia. No one's ever defined what Russia. No one's ever defined what exactly that means. The whole project is exactly that means. The whole project is exactly that means. The whole project is insane, insane, insane, but that's what happened. And Trump knew but that's what happened. And Trump knew but that's what happened. And Trump knew exactly what was going on at the time exactly what was going on at the time exactly what was going on at the time and said so and said repeatedly in and said so and said repeatedly in and said so and said repeatedly in interviews and in private, the main interviews and in private, the main interviews and in private, the main thing that we should worry about is thing that we should worry about is thing that we should worry about is Russia joining forces being pushed into Russia joining forces being pushed into Russia joining forces being pushed into an alliance with China because that an alliance with China because that an alliance with China because that would leave us where? It would leave us would leave us where? It would leave us would leave us where? It would leave us facing off against a coalition of the facing off against a coalition of the facing off against a coalition of the world's largest country, that would be world's largest country, that would be world's largest country, that would be Russia, with the world's largest

Russia, with the world's largest Russia, with the world's largest population, that would be China. the population, that would be China. the population, that would be China. the world's largest economy, also China, the world's largest economy, also China, the world's largest economy, also China, the world's deepest military-industrial world's deepest military-industrial world's deepest military-industrial capacity and resource bed, that would be capacity and resource bed, that would be capacity and resource bed, that would be Russia, Russia, Russia, against us, and we can't win. If Russia against us, and we can't win. If Russia against us, and we can't win. If Russia and China get together, we're done. and China get together, we're done. and China get together, we're done. Trump said that many times, and it's Trump said that many times, and it's Trump said that many times, and it's true, and it's proven to be true. And true, and it's proven to be true. And true, and it's proven to be true. And no, we can't win. no, we can't win. no, we can't win. So Trump knew that and that's why he So Trump knew that and that's why he So Trump knew that and that's why he promised repeatedly on the campaign promised repeatedly on the campaign promised repeatedly on the campaign trail, when I am president, I will bring trail, when I am president, I will bring trail, when I am president, I will bring that war to a close. Watch. Before I that war to a close. Watch. Before I that war to a close. Watch. Before I even arrive at the Oval Office, shortly even arrive at the Oval Office, shortly even arrive at the Oval Office, shortly after I win the presidency, I will have after I win the presidency, I will have after I win the presidency, I will have the war between Russia and Ukraine the war between Russia and Ukraine the war between Russia and Ukraine settled. I'll do it in 24 hours. It's settled. I'll do it in 24 hours. It's settled. I'll do it in 24 hours. It's not tough to do. That's easy compared to not tough to do. That's easy compared to not tough to do. That's easy compared to That's easy compared to a lot of things. That's easy compared to a lot of things. That's easy compared to a lot of things. Well, he's right. It actually is easy Well, he's right. It actually is easy Well, he's right. It actually is easy compared to a lot of things. Now, you'll compared to a lot of things. Now, you'll compared to a lot of things. Now, you'll often hear the foreign policy often hear the foreign policy often hear the foreign policy establishment, the experts, people in DC, the State Department would people in DC, the State Department would say, "No, it's very, very complicated."

say, "No, it's very, very complicated." say, "No, it's very, very complicated." Well, it's actually not that complicated Well, it's actually not that complicated Well, it's actually not that complicated because Ukraine as a nation no longer because Ukraine as a nation no longer because Ukraine as a nation no longer exists. exists. exists. American policy makers have basically American policy makers have basically American policy makers have basically genocided the entire population of the genocided the entire population of the genocided the entire population of the country. More than a million people have country. More than a million people have country. More than a million people have died, now being sent to the front in died, now being sent to the front in died, now being sent to the front in handcuffs to certain death. Apparently, handcuffs to certain death. Apparently, handcuffs to certain death. Apparently, that's part of the reason we're doing that's part of the reason we're doing that's part of the reason we're doing this. It gets very dark very fast when this. It gets very dark very fast when this. It gets very dark very fast when you start to think about it. But Ukraine you start to think about it. But Ukraine you start to think about it. But Ukraine itself could never prosecute a war itself could never prosecute a war itself could never prosecute a war against Russia because, well, for one against Russia because, well, for one against Russia because, well, for one thing, Russia has more than 100 million thing, Russia has more than 100 million thing, Russia has more than 100 million more people. So, the whole thing is more people. So, the whole thing is more people. So, the whole thing is absurd. There is no war between Russia absurd. There is no war between Russia absurd. There is no war between Russia and Ukraine. And in practical terms, the and Ukraine. And in practical terms, the and Ukraine. And in practical terms, the United States through its intel agencies United States through its intel agencies United States through its intel agencies provides the targeting information for provides the targeting information for provides the targeting information for Ukrainian missiles and drones. So the Ukrainian missiles and drones. So the Ukrainian missiles and drones. So the war would the war would end tomorrow if war would the war would end tomorrow if war would the war would end tomorrow if the US were actually to withdraw that the US were actually to withdraw that the US were actually to withdraw that support. And Trump could do that with support. And Trump could do that with support. And Trump could do that with one phone call. Hey, director of Central one phone call. Hey, director of Central one phone call. Hey, director of Central Intelligence. Hey NSA Director Nomas, Intelligence. Hey NSA Director Nomas, Intelligence. Hey NSA Director Nomas, anyone caught running the war for the anyone caught running the war for the anyone caught running the war for the Ukrainians will be fired and brought up Ukrainians will be fired and brought up Ukrainians will be fired and brought up on charges.

on charges. on charges. And that would end the war. And yes, And that would end the war. And yes, And that would end the war. And yes, Russia would wind up with a chunk of Russia would wind up with a chunk of Russia would wind up with a chunk of eastern Ukraine. That's going to happen eastern Ukraine. That's going to happen eastern Ukraine. That's going to happen no matter what. And it might be better no matter what. And it might be better no matter what. And it might be better for Ukraine to stop sending its next for Ukraine to stop sending its next for Ukraine to stop sending its next generation, in fact, middle-aged men and generation, in fact, middle-aged men and generation, in fact, middle-aged men and people with Down syndrome, into the meat people with Down syndrome, into the meat people with Down syndrome, into the meat grinder. grinder. grinder. That's the only option. And Trump could That's the only option. And Trump could That's the only option. And Trump could do that, but he hasn't. Not for two do that, but he hasn't. Not for two do that, but he hasn't. Not for two years now. Why? Well, it's really years now. Why? Well, it's really years now. Why? Well, it's really simple. Because the same people who push simple. Because the same people who push simple. Because the same people who push Trump into war with Iran are pushing him Trump into war with Iran are pushing him Trump into war with Iran are pushing him to continue the war against Russia, to continue the war against Russia, to continue the war against Russia, against Putin. Now, why is that? Now, against Putin. Now, why is that? Now, against Putin. Now, why is that? Now, that's a really interesting question that's a really interesting question that's a really interesting question that someone ought to write a book that someone ought to write a book that someone ought to write a book about. Why would the same people who about. Why would the same people who about. Why would the same people who pushed the US into war with Iran be pushed the US into war with Iran be pushed the US into war with Iran be pushing the United States pushing the United States pushing the United States to war with Russia? to war with Russia? to war with Russia? We're not even going to speculate. We're We're not even going to speculate. We're We're not even going to speculate. We're just going to say as a statement of fact just going to say as a statement of fact just going to say as a statement of fact that it's exactly the same group. that it's exactly the same group. that it's exactly the same group. So, Trump is clearly unable to resist So, Trump is clearly unable to resist So, Trump is clearly unable to resist that push. And so we are much more that push. And so we are much more that push. And so we are much more deeply involved in a war with Russia, deeply involved in a war with Russia, deeply involved in a war with Russia, much more deeply than we were 2 years much more deeply than we were 2 years much more deeply than we were 2 years ago. There have been assassination ago. There have been assassination ago. There have been assassination attempts on Vladimir Putin, on the attempts on Vladimir Putin, on the attempts on Vladimir Putin, on the president of the country president of the country president of the country that the United States embedded. Again, that the United States embedded. Again, that the United States embedded. Again, there's no Ukrainian army, there's no there's no Ukrainian army, there's no there's no Ukrainian army, there's no Ukrainian initiative without help from Ukrainian initiative without help from Ukrainian initiative without help from the United States. So from the Russian the United States. So from the Russian the United States. So from the Russian perspective, the US government is trying perspective, the US government is trying perspective, the US government is trying to assassinate Vladimir Putin. Is that

to assassinate Vladimir Putin. Is that to assassinate Vladimir Putin. Is that wise? Even if you think Putin is the wise? Even if you think Putin is the wise? Even if you think Putin is the worst person ever to live, is that wise worst person ever to live, is that wise worst person ever to live, is that wise to try and assassinate the leader of a to try and assassinate the leader of a to try and assassinate the leader of a nation that possesses the world's nation that possesses the world's nation that possesses the world's largest nuclear arsenal? Probably not a largest nuclear arsenal? Probably not a largest nuclear arsenal? Probably not a good idea. As Trump himself repeatedly good idea. As Trump himself repeatedly good idea. As Trump himself repeatedly said on the campaign trail, you are in said on the campaign trail, you are in said on the campaign trail, you are in so doing pushing the world toward a so doing pushing the world toward a so doing pushing the world toward a nuclear war from which no one escapes. nuclear war from which no one escapes. nuclear war from which no one escapes. Everybody dies. That's the end of the Everybody dies. That's the end of the Everybody dies. That's the end of the world. And anyone, as Trump often said world. And anyone, as Trump often said world. And anyone, as Trump often said during the campaign and for years before during the campaign and for years before during the campaign and for years before the campaign, anyone who doubts that the campaign, anyone who doubts that the campaign, anyone who doubts that doesn't know what nuclear weapons do. doesn't know what nuclear weapons do. doesn't know what nuclear weapons do. Trump as the only American authorized to Trump as the only American authorized to Trump as the only American authorized to use said weapons has been briefed on use said weapons has been briefed on use said weapons has been briefed on their destructive power and knows a lot their destructive power and knows a lot their destructive power and knows a lot about it and has talked about it in about it and has talked about it in about it and has talked about it in public a lot with heartfelt horror. public a lot with heartfelt horror. public a lot with heartfelt horror.

They're, as he would say, horrible because they as he would say, horrible because they as he would say, horrible because they are horrible. are horrible. are horrible. and it was entirely sincere apparently and it was entirely sincere apparently and it was entirely sincere apparently in saying that. Here's one example. in saying that. Here's one example. in saying that. Here's one example. Watch this. Watch this. Watch this. >> I am worried about nuclear because to be >> I am worried about nuclear because to be >> I am worried about nuclear because to be honest with you, we have incompetent honest with you, we have incompetent honest with you, we have incompetent people dealing on it.

And by the way, that seemed completely real. the way, that seemed completely real. the way, that seemed completely real. Trump didn't just say that in that Trump didn't just say that in that Trump didn't just say that in that speech, although that may have been at speech, although that may have been at speech, although that may have been at the convention. the convention. the convention.

Like we're losing use nuclear weapons. Like we're losing use nuclear weapons. Like we're losing this world. Let's just nuke them this world. Let's just nuke them this world. Let's just nuke them now. Leaving aside the morality of that, now. Leaving aside the morality of that, now. Leaving aside the morality of that, which is diseased, it's completely which is diseased, it's completely which is diseased, it's completely indefensible. Though many on the right indefensible. Though many on the right indefensible. Though many on the right are defending it, people who seem are defending it, people who seem are defending it, people who seem totally sane just the other day, like totally sane just the other day, like totally sane just the other day, like Victor Davis Hansen, or all of a sudden Victor Davis Hansen, or all of a sudden Victor Davis Hansen, or all of a sudden talking about the glories of Hiroshima. talking about the glories of Hiroshima. talking about the glories of Hiroshima. Hiroshima is a moral crime. That's not a Hiroshima is a moral crime. That's not a Hiroshima is a moral crime. That's not a defense of Pearl Harbor or the Imperial defense of Pearl Harbor or the Imperial defense of Pearl Harbor or the Imperial Japanese government, but to incinerate Japanese government, but to incinerate Japanese government, but to incinerate non-combatants with a nuclear weapon is non-combatants with a nuclear weapon is non-combatants with a nuclear weapon is by definition evil. There's no defending by definition evil. There's no defending by definition evil. There's no defending that. and anyone who defends that has that. and anyone who defends that has that. and anyone who defends that has immediately disqualified himself from immediately disqualified himself from immediately disqualified himself from leadership of any kind.

leadership of any kind. leadership of any kind. But it's worse than that. Not only is But it's worse than that. Not only is But it's worse than that. Not only is Trump threatening nuclear war openly, Trump threatening nuclear war openly, Trump threatening nuclear war openly, and no one seems to even notice this, and no one seems to even notice this, and no one seems to even notice this, and not only is his remaining coalition, and not only is his remaining coalition, and not only is his remaining coalition, the bitter enders, the bitter enders, the bitter enders, Ben Shapiro or whoever else still Ben Shapiro or whoever else still Ben Shapiro or whoever else still believes in Trump or is trying to use believes in Trump or is trying to use believes in Trump or is trying to use Trump for their own ends, not only are Trump for their own ends, not only are Trump for their own ends, not only are they ratifying it, defending it, echoing they ratifying it, defending it, echoing they ratifying it, defending it, echoing it. Yeah, I think we need a nuclear it. Yeah, I think we need a nuclear it. Yeah, I think we need a nuclear strike. strike. strike. But the US government is changing its But the US government is changing its But the US government is changing its internal doctrines to make it easier to internal doctrines to make it easier to internal doctrines to make it easier to use nuclear weapons and then suggesting use nuclear weapons and then suggesting use nuclear weapons and then suggesting in meetings in the Pentagon and in meetings in the Pentagon and in meetings in the Pentagon and PowerPoint presentations, the use of PowerPoint presentations, the use of PowerPoint presentations, the use of nuclear weapons against Iran. So even if nuclear weapons against Iran. So even if nuclear weapons against Iran. So even if you thought that was morally defensible, you thought that was morally defensible, you thought that was morally defensible, even if you agreed with Ben Shapiro that even if you agreed with Ben Shapiro that even if you agreed with Ben Shapiro that sometimes you just got to nuke people, sometimes you just got to nuke people, sometimes you just got to nuke people, you just got to melt their children, you just got to melt their children, you just got to melt their children, what do you think happens next? what do you think happens next? what do you think happens next? one country just lobbs a nuclear weapon one country just lobbs a nuclear weapon one country just lobbs a nuclear weapon into another country and that's just it. into another country and that's just it. into another country and that's just it. We we win at that point, whatever that We we win at that point, whatever that We we win at that point, whatever that means. No, of course not. That one means. No, of course not. That one means.

This is a dead other interpretation. This is a dead other interpretation. This is a dead certain fact. Inexorably to a nuclear certain fact. Inexorably to a nuclear certain fact. Inexorably to a nuclear exchange and that's the end.

Not only is this the opposite of what Not only is this the opposite of what Trump promised, this is by definition Trump promised, this is by definition Trump promised, this is by definition insanity. Anyone who suggests the insanity. Anyone who suggests the insanity.
