Today, I am joined by my friend and political commentator and political heavyweight, David Rothkopf.

David, how are you today?

I am good.

How are you, Jim?

Very well.

All right.

What are your thoughts on the pathological lying state of the union dementia hour that we all

had to endure last night?

Well, I wrote a comment for The Daily Beast, which began by saying if you took all

the truth that he told in the speech and you tattooed it on the genitalia of a flea, it would still leave room for the

Gettysburg Address.

Oh, my God.

That's so good.

It's just, I think what bothers me so much at this stage in the fascist takeover is just how the

pro-family, pro-America, pro-national security, pro-fiscal conservative Republicans,

when he starts pathologically lying, this is a guy who is in the Epstein files covering

up child rape. Pam Bondi's doing all this dirty work for them, they stand there and clap like little

programmed seals. I mean, the death march of the Republican Party that has been so sanctimonious

over all of us for so long, I think might be one bit of silver lining that they're all finally

exposed as the hypocrites that we all kind

of knew that they were.

Yeah, but you know, I think they deserve more criticism than they actually get.
