Tim Miller

The teleprompter was moving very fast.

I think he had limited time because the networks wanted to get to the Survivor season finale.

The only policy announcement was that troops are going to get a thousand buck dividend, which is, you know, whatever.

It's a Christmas bonus, I guess.

But most of the speech was complaining about Joe Biden.

The first minute he complained about how Joe Biden transgendered everybody.

I don't know.

It was pretty embarrassing, I guess, was my takeaway.

I was feeling embarrassed for him, but also for all of us.

What was your reaction to our president?

Yeah, definitely more embarrassed for all of us than for him.

The guy is absolutely shameless, and I've been...

thinking lately that the problem is not Donald Trump, right?

The fault lies not in our stars, but in ourselves.

And I keep saying, no, we have to remember that before this guy started beating Democrats, he first beat the institutional Republican Party.

And there's something that happened inside of the base of that party that made them susceptible and vulnerable to this vulgar authoritarianism.

And now, obviously, his spell has taken hold

across deeper pockets of the country.

But there's another interesting thing about last night, Tim.

You just said you had to watch this because of your job.
