just proved it which you wrote, i happen to know, one of the most insightful people on tv. there is a depth that that you don t brag about. because you are not insecure. i m so smart. you are smart obviously because you know what the problems are and you are also to continue the heart felt suck-up totally hilarious. and people who are as funny as you are don t take themselves seriously but they also see what s really going on. that s where the hilarity lies is in the insight and you definitely have it i m psyched you writing my script at the last minute 7:00 p.m. hour. i brought my ipad onto the desk so i can watch you. i plan to do that every night. jesse: you can text me if you want too. just keep it clean, tucker. tucker: impossible. jesse: i m sure i m going to get so much porn sent to this text number we will have to apologize to the producers going through it we will weed it out and get to the good stuff. before the show has already launched, cnn, the media is already hatin
f. kennedy. donald trump said the ugliest things about ted cruz s wife. just shameful things. and ted cruz threw his family under the bus politically, and basically kept sucking up to a guy who insulted his family. it s just it s not something that we ve really seen in washington where people can insult family members and you still have this big suck up that we just keep seeing. and it never pays off. it never pays off. that s just the thing i will never understand these people suck up to trump and it never pays off for them. it s a cult. 75 million people voted for a guy who was willingly letting people die from the coronavirus. hundreds of thousands of people. it s not even an exaggeration or
found out he had been arrested? it sure did. boy, did it. i have got to say that guy could sell snow to the eskimos. if you read the indictment, one of the things that comes through is how unbelievably ingratiating he is to the people he deals with, both in the trump administration and on the emiratee side. you used the word suck-up i think. he really for a guy who is 74 years old and himself a billionaire, he really knows how to be humble and kind of ah, shucks. he has lied and lied and lied. if it was this indictment is saying is true, then his lies about his role with the emirates and the things that he did for them have been just tremendous. i think it was really hard for me to believe that he could lie like that if he knew that people were out there or messages were out there that could eventually hang him up as they appear now to have done.

is to becoming a general now, you don t become a general by being a lion in combat yourself. you become a general by the same you rise in every other bureaucratic organization by being a successful suck-up and parroting whatever the people at the top are saying. it turns out people who are good suck-ups and good parroters are not especially great generals. mark: that s well put. it s a 20-year which is injedable. actually. that isn t the gap between wars in a lot of human history. what s fascinating to me about this you would have thought at some point after history not just the last 20 years, not just the last half century, really the last three quarters of a century, why is there no serious consideration, particularly on the right of the american way of war and what we need to do to fix it? well, i think, you know, we
