No, we aren't. I didn't get to go. You didn't get to go. Matt didn't get to go. Ninety nine and ninety nine percent of the people who ever lived didn't get to go. They chose these airheads. Bring it.

Walter? Well, Democrats are going to have to be careful because I don't know how they distinguish between different sorts of violence and political violence anymore. You know, if he'd been in a Tesla or just gotten out of one, it would have been thought to be maybe commendable that someone had firebombed it.

he might have been celebrated by Taylor Lorenz and people like that. As it is, he's not a very attractive or a very sane human being, and he nearly killed children. And, uh, there's nothing to do with him, but, you know, throw away the key. But we're starting to get into a world of, uh, blurred lines around violence and, uh,
