And I think this kind of histrionics about demanding that he should call him a traitor Which is ridiculous. And the one last point I wanted to make, Megan, quickly, if I could. I know Tulsi. I have a lot of respect for her, even though I disagree with her. I think I was just talking to your team about this.

If you look at those clips you just showed, Tulsi knew so well that if she had just called him a traitor, her path to confirmation would have been much clearer. But she doesn't think he's a traitor, so she refused to do that because she's not willing to say things she doesn't believe in order to advance her own career or gain power, which speaks extremely well of her character.

And yeah, I mean, and maybe even Democrats. I mean, probably Republicans, though, if she had said no, that she does not think he's a traitor, her confirmation possibilities would be over. They're already at risk, but it would have been over. And so you could say, yeah, she should just do it on principle and go down with the fight.

And then they'll just put somebody in that seat after her who says, yeah, trade Snowden is a traitor who should be murdered. The government did nothing wrong. The CIA did nothing wrong or the NSA. You know, what's the victory in that? But the fact she wouldn't affirm false claims. I think is what she did.

So I don't know, I wish she had said no, but if she had said no, her nomination would have been destroyed.

OK, first of all, go and look at that tweet just to get an understanding for how politicians so readily lie. The tweet was saying, look, if Tulsi Gabbard needs to say that I harm national security and the sweet feelings of people in Washington, have her go say it. I know it's the Pledge of Allegiance you're required to take in Washington.

He wasn't saying, oh, I'm here to finally confess that I harmed national security. And yet that's the claim. And I have to say, there's so many claims that get made about Snowden. I know we don't have time to go into them. I just did a segment on it last night about how he ended up in Russia. He didn't choose to go there. He was trying to pass through there.
