Honestly with Bari Weiss
The Best Reality TV Is Actually in the Oval Office

The question is not, you know, people act like, oh, we hate Trump because Putin helped him and Putin is evil. It's literally in the Gemara, we would call it Pumfakert. Like it's the exact opposite, as we would say in Aramaic. The reason that they hate Putin. It just rolls off the tongue. Yes, go on. There was no better word for it.

You know, the reason that they cannot stand Putin, that Putin became enemy number one, a Hitler-like person for insisting on a ratification of the status quo before invading Ukraine, which he did for three months. All he asked for was a ratification of the status quo. The reason that became Hitler-like behavior was because they became convinced that without Putin, Trump would not have won.

Without Putin, our neighbors would not have gotten what they voted for. There's just a fundamental... Hatred of actual democracy in practice from the elites. And what was amazing about the reason, my husband kept saying, why did Trump have to yell at him though? He should have realized what was happening, stood up, said meeting over and walked out. And I said, I'll tell you why.

Because for 10 years, the media has lied and lied and lied on Trump. Everything he did. It was on the side of Zelensky. It was on the side of the elites. It was on the side of the deep state. And the entire Biden administration, Blinken, and all of those guys came from that same Obama world that had a total lock on the media.

All of those people around Trump are working for us now, not for the plaudits of the corrupt ruling class embodied by the media. And that's what we're really seeing here is the triumph of democracy. Wow, you're so subtle. It's really hard to know what you feel about.
