What are the initial thoughts on Trump's recent speech?
Today, I am joined by my friend and political commentator and political heavyweight, David Rothkopf. David, how are you today?
I am good. How are you, Jen?
Very well. All right. What are your thoughts on the pathological lying state of the union dementia hour that we all had to endure last night?
Well, I wrote a column for The Daily Beast, which began by saying if you took all the truth that he told in the speech and you tattooed it on the genitalia of a flea, it would still leave room for the Gettysburg Address.
Oh my God, that's so good. It's just, I think what bothers me so much at this stage in the fascist takeover is just how the pro-family, pro-America, pro-national security, pro-fiscal conservative Republicans, when he starts pathologically lying, this is a guy who is in the Epstein files covering up child rape. Pam Bondi's doing all this dirty work for him. They stand there and clap like little programmed seals. I mean, the death march of the Republican Party that has been so sanctimonious over all of us for so long, I think might be one bit of silver lining that they're all finally exposed as the hypocrites that we all kind of knew that they were.
Yeah, but, you know, I think they deserve more criticism than they actually get, because there's a lot of people who say the drift towards fascism or, you know, the actual descent into authoritarianism is all Trump. And it's not all Trump. You actually have to have a room full of people
How is the Republican Party responding to Trump's controversies?
who are hooting and hollering and yapping and doing exactly what you want, cheering everything that you say, even when it's a lie or it's evil. And that's what happened last night. You know, you had this room full of brain dead zombies. who were sitting there and, as you say, sort of clapping like circus seals every time that they were cued to do it, even if what was happening was ridiculous or awful or a lie. And I mean, you know, we had the image of the president saying, I'm going to launch a war on fraud. Even though he's a convicted fraudster, the person he's putting in charge of the war, J.D. Vance, is the leading fraud of his generation. And the entire effort is based on a fraud. You know, but, you know, cheer, cheer, cheer.
Or, you know, here are the Republicans who say, oh, we are the defenders of the sanctity of the military and American national security. And Trump has given out Congressional Medals of Honor at this thing like it's a game show, like he's Oprah. You get a Congressional Medal of Honor and you get a Congressional Medal of Honor. And then he goes and this was really one of the low points of the speech. Hey, you know, I've always wanted one of those medals. I'm trying to figure out how I could get one. And, you know, he is the most famous draft dodger in America. And he's trying to figure out how he can give himself a Congressional Medal of Honor. But do they applaud? Oh, yeah, they applaud. It's disgusting.
But when you look at it, you say, well, gee, that looks a little familiar. Where did I see that? Was it at a Nuremberg rally for Hitler? Or was it at Kim Jong-un's last speech in North Korea? And the answer is yes, because that's how fascism works.
All right. We've seen him now.
What role does Pam Bondi play in Trump's legal challenges?
He's putting up these Kim Jong-un, Hitler-esque portraits of himself on DOJ and all these other buildings, which I think you live in DC and I hope you don't have to drive by these places just as your friend. I hope that you and your lovely wife, Carla, don't have to see that filth. But it's fascinating to me that here we have the, you know, when I think about the Republican Party 10 years ago, how they were about justice and the Justice Department. And you have this bozo, Pam Bondi, who is actively engaging in one of, I mean, it makes Watergate look quaint. And their NPR just released a story that they have removed, I think, 53 documents where there is a credible claim that the president of the United States committed sexual assault.
And she's covering this up. And this is the department that's supposed to have independence. And we have the banner of Trump.
