And so now as we see, he is the one. Here's the thing. He wants to blame the deep state. He wants to blame people who are out here lying on him. He wants to blame people who are, you know, speaking in secret about him. What are they doing? They're speaking about stuff you did. They're not lying. Was it your phone? Was it your wife in the chat? Was it your brother in the chat? Was it your lawyer?

What the hell is your personal lawyer? What's that about? Right? Oh, look, we're about to bomb Yemen. What do you think? Honey. Phil Hegseth. You got two cents on that. Phil, you got two cents. I don't even know what he does at Department of Homeland Security. I don't think he knows what he does there. But the reality of it is, no, it was you, baby. And it's just this whole thing.

I should have known better.
