0.089 - 13.765 Ben Meiselas

Now it just feels like all about me, me, me, me, me, Donald Trump. Not, you know, the guy out there working in the trenches trying to make ends meet, trying to pay your mortgage, trying to pay the bills.

14.469 - 42.045 Jay

after 100 days of this dumpster fire of a presidency even trump voters right now are speaking out publicly and saying what an absolute mess they're talking about the disaster trump's inflicted on the economy the disaster donald trump's inflicted on our alliances and also just the lack of leadership in the white house is stunning to a lot of these trump voters let me introduce you to a guy named jay lives in uh pennsylvania

42.625 - 58.129 Jay

And here's what he has to say about the whole Signalgate scandal. I mean, he's just coming at it from a very common sense angle. And he's like, wait, what are you doing? You're having classified conversations on your cell phone. This is a Trump voter right here. Let's play it.

58.669 - 69.874 Ben Meiselas

You know, the secretary of defense. I don't mean to sound rude, but what kind of idiot puts his wife in a group chat that has access to military documents? You know?

71.094 - 79.377 Jay

So it... Were you bothered by the first signal chat issue that came out with the information with the reporter in that chat?

79.557 - 94.941 Ben Meiselas

I was bothered by both of them. Because let's be realistic. If that was a military officer, they would have been destroyed. But because that's one of Trump's buddies, it's okay. We're not going to do anything about it.

96.988 - 114.55 Jay

I wanted to play that clip of Jay because he says it so simply. As I've always said, this shouldn't be about Democrats, Republicans. This shouldn't be pundits overcomplicating this. It's like, what the hell are you doing? What are you doing? Let's bring in Democratic Congress member Jim Himes, ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee.

114.93 - 131.887 Jay

congress member i mean i think jay just puts it accurately there what do you make of all of this and especially with the news now that mike wall's national security advisors i guess what he's got promoting yeah he got moved to a different position he's now the united states he has to be confirmed but he's the united nations ambassador now

132.984 - 149.906 Jim Himes

Yeah, yeah, you know, I think, look, Jay put it perfectly, which is people are coming to sense that something you really want in a president, which is a sense of accountability, is not there with Donald Trump, right? I mean, we saw this with the stock market, right?
