Chuck Todd

He was able to become a star because of shortcuts, but bankruptcy.

He was still the only, one of the few casino operators to find a way to go bankrupt owning a casino because he was taking a shortcut on competition and tried to buy up all his competitors.

He shortcutted his way into politics, but he didn't really build a coalition in order to support him and use his political capital.

So when you take all these shortcuts, he's trying to shortcut his way into getting an Iranian victory.

He's trying to shortcut his way and trying to get a Venezuelan victory, but he's no longer promoting democracy anymore.

And America is not on the side of democratic freedom.

Interesting.

We are not on the side of democratic freedom in Venezuela right now.

What makes somebody what do you count as a squish?

And we're doing a poor job of being on the side of freedom, democratic freedom in Iran.

But ultimately, that's what you have to remember here.

So it's more style than substance.

In conflicts like this, the side that understands the other side better usually has the advantage.

President Trump does not understand this Iranian regime.

He thinks they're all just as transactional as he is.

He sees everybody through himself.

Actually, let me put a let's put a let me let me I want to get more into this.

He assumes everybody behaves the way that everybody's motivation is what his motivation is, power, money, et cetera.

But I want to ask you a very specific question on abortion, because I've been curious that with Roe gone as a rallying cry.

And he just assumes those same motivations.
