Jeremy Scahill

The lies are so blatant under Donald Trump, but in a way, it's an epic case of the quiet part being said out loud, because a lot of Democrats in Washington

privately, they're happy Trump is doing this.

Because if it goes bad, as it seems to be, it's bad for election because the gas is going to be expensive and costs are going to go up.

And oh my God, we're in another one of these wars.

But if it goes good, great.

We wanted that too.

That sameness of policy between the Democrats and Republicans when it comes to these, you know, to this foreign policy is something that

People like Ralph Nader have been talking about their whole life, and he gets tired and feathered for having the audacity of running against the two-party system.

But if you go back and you look at it, the people that were saying this for a long time, they're proven right right now.

The whole thing is just an immoral state of bankruptcy in our hearts that we've allowed this to continue for so long.

Well, I want to also thank you guys, because I know you have an audience that I think is really thoughtful.

And I think you brought them along with your outspoken words in defense of the Palestinian people.

And you didn't have to do that.

And I think, you know, there's what you guys have done.

And there's a number of other people who've used their platforms that, you know, have great risk to your reputation.

And I think it matters.

Thank you very much.
