Yeah, he is so tiresome. Just as a human being, he's unbelievably tiresome. And I will acknowledge here that his wife, Amal Clooney, literally was complicit in some of the worst propaganda of the last several years. She was involved in the International Court of Justice's attempts to actually prosecute the prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, for war crimes. She was a deep part of that.

So she obviously wasn't speaking truth to power. She was she was part of the power. George Clooney has always been part of the power. This idea that he's ever speaking truth to power is nonsensical. That dude has more. He may have single handedly been responsible for Joe Biden stepping out of the race. You recall that he wrote an op ed in which he basically called for.

Joe Biden to step out of the race. And then the Democratic Party suddenly magically listened. So when he talks about this, he's speaking truth. What is the power inside, for example, his own party that he has ever spoken true, like real truth to and not been listened? And he wields outsized powers.

Again, this idea that he's like a powerless person who's fighting for the rights of the journalistic establishment. The journalistic establishment is what brought us here.
