Sunday, everyone. We are here with Congressman Eric Swalwell, and we're going to do some MAGA bashing on this Sunday. So fasten your seatbelt. This is going to be therapeutic, terrifying, and at the end, hopefully a little bit of grit and hope for all of us. Congressman Swalwell, how are you today?
I'm doing all right. It's Sunday morning. You can hear Sunday chaos in my house right now with a seven-year-old, a six-year-old, and a three-year-old who are just in revolt. But yeah, I've got my coffee. I'm loaded for bear, so let's go.
Kylie, put up this tweet yesterday on Twitter. Let's look at this. No, no, no, that's not the one. with Elon Musk. Here we go. Yesterday on Twitter, somebody named Gunter Eagleman tweets, it's time to leave NATO and the UN. Elon Musk retweets with comment, I agree. Ron Filipkowski says, and there it is, Putin's lifelong dream after years of relentless Russian propaganda now fully embraced by the American president and the world's richest oligarch. And I want to add to Ron's description of the world's richest oligarch and say american taxpayer-funded billionaire and that's the what what we need to start calling you know elon musk is he is an american funded taxpayer-funded billionaire um are convinced that this is a good plan because europe is an enemy and putin is our friend congressman he's a welfare king he is a welfare queen um this is
We are living in the middle of a historical moment right now. And last year, my husband and I went to Paris to go to the French Open. And while we were at the gate, there were all of these military people there and they had flags and like little drummers. And we were like, what's going on as we're boarding the flight? Well, it was the 80th anniversary of D-Day. And these men were flying over and they were, you know, very, very elderly. And there was so much respect. The captain came on and he said, we have 10 men that stormed the beaches in Normandy. We are celebrating the 80th anniversary of D-Day. How anti-military and anti-veteran and anti-democratic is what Elon Musk just tweeted?
and it's a complete failure to recognize what that alliance has meant to our country because because he is a welfare king who relies on u.s government dollars to fund his life he doesn't understand the sacrifice that our service member members and our veterans have given and by the way it was after september 11 when we were hit and those towers fell and those cops and firefighters died and we had to hit back to make sure it would never happen again, it was the NATO alliance that stood with us and made sure that something like that would never happen again. So all of the countries that Donald Trump is shitting all over right now, those are the ones that went shoulder to shoulder with us in afghanistan and so i and i've talked to them they've come to my many of the leaders from those countries and the representatives have been in my offices uh in the last couple weeks and it feels to them like complete betrayal especially the canadians it's just complete betrayal like how how could you do this to it like tariffs fine we'll go back and forth on tariffs but when you say that we're going to be your 51st state
They're just like, what the fuck? Are you kidding me? And what happened, by the way, I guess you would call it the coup de grace of America's reputation in the world with that Zelensky meeting. It will take 100 years for our best friends in the world to unsee that. 100 years for them to unsee that.
I don't think there's any question. And before the election, you heard some people in the French government saying while the election was going on, we need to start focusing on Europe's independence because we can't rely on the state of Wisconsin and the electoral college to determine the security of Europe at large. And this is what I want to talk about. And this is what I think everybody else is reporting in the world. The other world leaders are reporting, but we're not reporting it. Some of your co-workers in 2017, Kevin McCarthy and then Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, said on a hot tape, Trump is on Putin's payroll. And then they made great effort to say, now this stays between us. We're family. We don't talk about this anywhere else.
