Kelsey Grammer Reveals All (Pt 2): Lessons on Love, Loss, Healing & Remembering

Yeah, you can appoint judges for a lifetime because that's what they're good at. Okay. And they balance it in terms of squaring things with the originalist vision of what it is. And that's all for the people. I walked into Washington, D.C. recently for the dedication of the World War I monument. And it's a beautiful, beautiful piece. It took them over 100 years to do it, to get one there.

And they've done other monuments for other wars that I was celebrating the sacrifice. But when I walked, I took five minutes to walk from the hotel I was in to go over to where the presentation was being made. Three people in five minutes walked up to me and handed me a card and said, hi, I'm a lobbyist. And I just thought, you do not belong here. I mean, I have some real issues about it.

I don't like it. Whenever the car turns off and I'm standing still at a red light, I'm thinking, what congressman got this passed? What guy is making money on this? Because somebody got paid to do this. Because when I grew up, they said if your car stops and restarts all the time, you're just spending more fuel. So I thought, who conned them into thinking this is saving money?

Why do we have 10% corn fuel in our gasoline? Who from the Corn Belt made some money on that? So I look on big government with a real jauntest eye.

Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's... I think there's definitely an older man's game in Washington, D.C. that I think needs to be played well, wisdom being the important asset that you would bring. But if you're worried about, yeah, if there's something on the table, if there's a kickback coming, I mean, we are finding out, of course, now through a lot of people that there's some

There's some stuff been going on that isn't good. And I'm very glad that Donald Trump is there at this point, sort of engineering at least an uncovering of that. Whether or not we're going to cover it all back up and go back to it, I fear that that might happen. But I do fear that that's the end of the U.S. And I don't want that to happen.

We can't afford what we're doing. Nobody can be that corrupt and continue. We are not meant to. If that's what we're doing with the money we're making, if that's what we're doing, and it's actually coming back to the government, if it's actually feeding those guys, no. It's supposed to be selfless. Selfless and to volunteer to make sure we're saving the people.

Save the people of the United States, not Washington, D.C. That's my two cents.

Well, only FDR thought he was worth it. And everybody else just voluntarily just said no. Which two? Because Washington set the precedent. George Washington was pretty much the greatest American who ever lived. There's still no question about it.

And it was always about, like, when he gave up his sword, when he resigned his commission in the military, when he said, no, the leader of the country should not be a member of the military. That's inappropriate. These things that came from his sense of conviction were passed on to us as a country, and that was a great, great gift.
