They were friends and are friends with all these Democratic national security, Democratic operatives who were lying to them and saying that Biden was fine. And a lot of them probably did say, oh, these are the good guys like McDonnell and and all these people I've been friends with and who my kids go to school with.
And so they do feel like they got to see it because those are the people who they thought were the good ones. After Iraq, the Iraq war and the COVID lies and the 100 Biden laptop and Russia.

One of the things that's important in journalism is to realize that people in politics lie.

The other funny thing is I, you know, I thought, you know, I knew, I don't know why Jake Topper went on your show. Had I been part of that PR crisis firm, management firm that he hired? I've never heard of a journalist having to hire a PR crisis firm before. Like journalists usually don't have PR crises.

I had been bashing Jake Tapper for a long time, starting from when this book came out. And he got that PR crisis firm to like try and plan a bunch of negative stories and hit pieces on me as a result.
