I'm not a crazy, I'm just like, what's going, why aren't they evaluating what's happening?
And I don't think my observations, I'm not, no offense to me, I don't think they're particularly special.
I'm just telling you what the hell they're, I'm just saying, watch that.
Like, that's not normal.
That should be something that's leading the headlines, but it's not.
Sorry, Brett.
no it's not good but you know trump has an affinity for people like victor orban obviously i think he has an affinity for a lot of rulers in the middle east as well because i think trump views himself as a supreme leader um as many of these leaders are uh who you know don't need checks and balances in order to get stuff done who could just rule with an iron fist donald trump sees that and he goes oh that's what real strength looks like that's what we need to bring into the united states i think we have the clips maybe we could show them in a little bit
of him praising Egypt and going, oh, you have the lowest crime in Egypt, everything, no crime.
Better than democratic cities, better than democratic governors, he said.
Yeah, it's absurd.
But like, when he's saying things like that, the subtext of it that a lot of people don't pick up on, including the media, is he's praising authoritarian rule.
And so you see what's happening over there.
And like we said, the ceasefire is fantastic news.
The release of the hostages, the exchanges, that's all fantastic news.
But you see Donald Trump kind of building up his authoritarian kind of street cred as well.
And you see all the attacks that he is unleashing on the American people here at home as well.
And it's incredibly frightening when you put that together and you kind of paint the full picture.
And for a guy who wants the Nobel Peace Prize, I'm sorry, but when there are Black Hawk helicopters flying over our cities like Chicago, when you strip away USAID funding and destroy that agency and you have 14 million people expected to die by 2030 because of your actions, when you're bombing boats indiscriminately in the Caribbean and we find out you say it's a Venezuelan boat, but it's actually a Colombian boat.
and you said you were going after drug runners, and then a woman says that her husband was a fisherman and was killed.
I mean, I'm sorry, I'm gonna say I'm not so sure about that Nobel buddy.
