S2 Ep1033: Tom Nichols: The Hollow Opportunists

So, OK, I'm going to give up the safe seat. I don't love having to go back to upstate New York and listen to people complain about, you know, cows or whatever they're complaining about. But I get to live in Washington and I have, you know, an aide who brings me coffee every morning. That's really cool. And right now, you know, where are you? You're not even in the leadership anymore. Waltz is out.

Stefanik's been sent to the back benches. I mean, don't people understand that getting involved with Donald Trump means that eventually Rick Wilson's right, that everything Trump touches dies because it's going to happen to other people as well. Pete Hegseth, I don't even know the over under on Pete Hegseth. A couple more months, one more scandal, who knows what it is.

Once Trump starts firing people, he gets over the fear of firing people. And I think that Pete Hegseth will look at this time as the high watermark of his life, and then everything's going to be downhill from here. They don't seem to understand that they serve Trump for this very short period of time. He burns them out, uses them up, and then sends them off to the trash heap.

Well, I am proud to say that I, too, have always refused and would never go on RT. I have been on Newsmax several times, though. So, you know, that's a thin line.

But I'm saying, you know, we all, you know, I mean, I was on Bill O'Reilly's show once. You know, it happens. But... It's like the old Joan Rivers joke where she says, you know, man, God rest her soul. She says, you know, a man sleeps around. He's successful. A woman makes 70, 80 mistakes. She's a slut. You know, it's one thing to do, you know, one or two hits and say, ah, that wasn't comfortable.

I really shouldn't do that again. But when you become a regular guest and a friend of the show, You know, I mean, that's like, you know, like Kash Patel and Stu Peters. I don't know who he was. I only did a show, you know, eight times. Being like me, say Tim, Tim Miller. Don't know the guy. Did I? You know, he's a face on the screen. So that tells you something. And I watched a lot of those.
