Podcast Appearances
And these are those types of moments.
You put a microphone in someone's face and ask them a question.
And all of a sudden, now there is a firestorm of controversy.
I do think that you should take that very seriously.
Because I think that in this moment, this administration has shown that they specialize in the vulgar.
And what I mean by vulgar, I mean in the Greek sense of the spectacle.
They specialize in the spectacle.
What Harmeet Dhillon has talked about publicly, first of all, I want to point out, and Monique can back me up on this, how irregular it would be
for a sitting division or department leader within the Department of Justice to go on a podcast and talk about a pending criminal investigation.
That is unheard of.
Kristen Clark sat at the head of the DOJ's Civil Rights Division for four years, and we never heard her voice publicly.
She spoke with the work that she did.
And so this administration specializes in the spectacle.
In that way, I would say this is something to take seriously because for them, this is a matter of trying to, as D.L.
talked about in the last segment, continue to make folk bend the knee, continue to make folk try to capitulate to their demands.
And so you, my friend, may have just become a very important historical figure.
For legal purposes, I can't hear what's going on right now.
I'm good.
So thank you.
I think that that is important.
