PROTECT MORAL AGENCY

“The people in Nazi Germany who, the Germans who resisted the Nazis, they asked themselves like a very simple question. They said, can I live with myself? And it wasn't about like a set of morals or, they were just like, can I live with myself? Like, can I live with a murderer? You know, and if the answer is no, they just didn't do it. I imagine that for some people, it's that simple.”

“Alex Jones is out like completely fireballing Trump now and says that Americans should hang their flags upside down, which is the universal symbol of distress. I'm like, Alex Jones? Gay frog, Alex Jones? I'm like, Pete, really? Oh, yeah. And remember, Jones is a guy, he has that populist instinct to listen to people at the grocery store, the gas station, the diner, that kind of thing.”

“My son is a pollster, and we talk about this every damn Friday, where we do our polling wrap-up. And this is... It has now reached the point where no Republican in the country can feel safe. In safe seats with a plus 20 now, maybe you feel safe. But we used to define safe seats as being R plus five. I mean, even in the ballpark, we're safe anymore.”

“I think that's the top line here. He's doing this because Joe Rogan is really mad at him and has been saying that he doesn't support him on his podcast to 80 million people. And so Donald Trump is desperately trying to win him back. And so he's decided psychedelics are the way, which I think all of this should say quite a lot about Trump, quite a lot about how we got here, quite a lot about Joe Rogan.”

“There was a real belief that he would do something to either order them to do something stupid or leak it. And either one of those scenarios would have resulted in that that F-15 backseater either being dead or being an Iranian hostage. And they realized that it should tell you a lot that the people who actually are on the pointy end of the stick with our military do not trust their commander in chief.”

“Canada is, they have put, they've done elbows up. They are just done with us. We need them for tourism. We need them for trade and we're losing them. And it's just, it's such a dumb, dumb, unforced error. And you know, Donald Trump is dumb. I mean, he's dumb and he's bad at being president. And so here we go. We've alienated this country that we definitely need.”

“Cash Patel, sec drunk as I call him. Cash Patel is increasingly seen inside the FBI and the administration as somebody with a drinking problem. He is not going to win this fight because he has over a dozen sources who said, He drinking. This isn't good. It's funny because it's like you think about Cash Patel and you think about his deputy, at least until he went back to his podcast, was Dan Bondrino.”

“JD Vance is running for president in 2028 And I don't think he fired Buckley just because Tucker's saying shit about Donald Trump. I think he fired Buckley because he recognizes that when he wants to run for president, Tucker is one of those people, as crazy as you think it sounds right now when we're saying it in broad daylight, Tucker is one of those people who could be a potential candidate in a primary against JD Vance.”
