I agree with you that Trump could be more disciplined. However, I don't think it's as bad as what you're saying, because if it were, there'd be no need to make up these obvious hoaxes. There'd be no need to, you know, lie about the very fine people or what he said about bloodbath.

So if he was really saying that many outrageous things, why would you need to keep inventing things that he didn't say?

Oh, I think they're just stacking them. Yeah, the answer to that question is just throw everything you got at him.

Yeah, they're throwing everything at him. But look at Kamala's interviews. I mean, she hasn't given very many. But, I mean, her answers are just – I mean, just watch them. I'm not going to characterize them, but just watch her actual interviews.

And Megyn Kelly said it. I mean, Megyn Kelly thinks she's stupid and not bright. I mean – And she's not the most dynamic speaker, that's for sure. And she doesn't seem to be able to have a dynamic debate with intelligent people who are experts in their field, let's say. You know, she can't hold her own in the way you can see J.D. can. Right. And Trump can. So here we go.

And just on the on the second assassination attempt, I don't know if you even want to go there. But I mean, gosh, I'm so glad that. he didn't get shot at again. This is scary stuff, folks. This rhetoric's got to come down. I keep saying it. Nobody wants to listen to me, but man.

Well, let's look at the rhetoric that Ryan Ruth was literally quoting on his Twitter, was saying that Trump is basically an existential threat to democracy. He was quoting what Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and the mainstream media have been saying chapter and verse. So I think that if you want to ascribe motivation there. Where did Ruth get these ideas?

They've been endlessly amplified by the mainstream media. And it's not like a one-off comment. It's been the central narrative for the last several years is that somehow Trump represents this existential threat to democracy. And one way or another, that threat must be eliminated. And I think Ryan Ruth simply took literally what the mainstream media has been saying.

1% of your followers is what I tell everybody, high profile people you and I both know, is 1% of people in your following, and we all have large followings here, and there's certainly people who have extremely large followings, 1% are mentally ill. Like when I say mentally ill, I mean severely mentally ill. And if it's but 1% of your following, if it's 0.1%, this could be thousands of people.

And this is what happened to John Lennon and other famous people who've been killed, tragically, is those mentally ill people interpret things in a very different way. And when you say, you know, a phrase that has triggers in it, threat to democracy, fight like hell, whatever it is, they interpret it differently. And so just please, folks.

Well, when you call the guy Hitler for years, and again, you create millions or billions of impressions around that. And it's not like a one-off statement, but it's something that's drummed into the public over and over again. It seems to me you're asking for trouble.
