john would be so thrilled. he s looking down, he d be so thrilled. thank you so much, sir. i said that s okay, don t worry about it. maybe he s looking up. i don t know. so many things going on there. i m duty bound to point out that the endangered species act clean air, clean water, civil rights act would not look the same arguably without john dingell in congress. he represented michigan. that s where the rally was, dingell, you could hear the repetition. it sounds funny to him. the joke about him looking up from hell, even the pro forma nature of being president and allowing a burial with full military honors. he s buried in arlington, world war ii veteran. it started with the pronunciation of the name. you know, it s interesting. he s sitting there using the name, and he s implying that it sounds like some kind of genital, isn t that funny.
lawlessness and why can t we let the facts come out and even if that doesn t change a single mind in the senate caucus, at least we ll know what s been done in our name. barbara, this latest e-mail that came out, part of a freedom of information act request gives a lot of senators, members of the house something to hold onto, and the public something they can absorb. 91, 91 minutes after the phone is hung up to the aid being hung up its, whether it will be turned into a song from rent or turned into a giant clock that someone can move the arms on on the floor of the senate, we ll have to stick around. i want to read you part of what was said in a washington post op-ed. we think his e-mail is most fairly read as a reference to congress and perhaps some others in the executive branch. basically, a white house official was telling the
he tried to project an image because he was running a big and important country. trump doesn t have any sense of that. we ve checked and lindyndon johnson never flushed 10 to 15 times as president. this next bit was a name that must have triggered trump back to an age where in a tough school you d make fun of kids names that were beyond the ordinary. this became a name trigger that ended up making fun of a guy that served in the house from 1955 to 2015. dingell, dingell. you know dingell from michigan? debbie dingell, that s a real beauty. so she calls me up like eight months ago. her husband was there a long time, but i didn t give him the b treatment. i didn t give him the c or the d. i could have. nobody would have i gave the a plus treatment. she calls me up. it s the nicest thing that s ever happened. thank you so much.
play, angry is easy. if somebody doesn t know how to act, it s fairly easy to have a tantrum. what s difficult is getting on stage and conveying things such as genuine happiness or remorse or ambiguity, and notice how those three things are utterly alien from anything we ve seen of trump. what you see is a certain joy in making fun of other people. this is a truly inferior person to be leading this nation, and the bit with dingell he ought to be utterly ashamed of himself. and yet as we know, life will go on, and that thing could possibly be reelected because that s how life works. we ve unleashed something that s truly frightening. this is the day we begin booking your next appearance. i hope so. thank you very much. tell the good people watching the name of your podcast again. that podcast is called lexicon valley, and please listen to it because i do it and i enjoy it. and he uses words throughout i m told, john has been kind
