I have something, a show planned for you that you are really going to love. You know the first order of business, and that is hit the likes and the thumbs up because that is what affects the algorithm. And more people become aware of our conversation. So I want to get to it as quickly as possible. So make sure you hit the like and the thumbs up, OK? And then tell me where you're streaming from. And then we're going to get to all of that.

I would consider it maybe a peculiar lonely land in American politics. He's the moral absolutist who simply does not care whether what anyone thinks and what they think might be helpful.
