| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, Tim Miller from the bulwark here. It is Sunday afternoon. I hope you had a Sunday morning like me. |
| 0:04.9 | I got to sleep in a little bit. I played with my daughter. We shot some hoops. I went to my lady's |
| 0:09.4 | weights class. We got some smoothies. And amidst all of this, Meet the Press was airing an interview |
| 0:16.9 | with the President of the United States, Donald Trump. People kept telling me how crazy it was, how insane he seems. And you're crooked. And Mr. Press is crooked. And so is ABC. |
| 0:27.0 | And so rather than, you know, go back and punish myself with that, I figured that I would just |
| 0:31.9 | come here and blind react to the interview with you guys. I'm hoping that many of you also had a lovely Sunday morning like I did |
| 0:40.0 | and didn't spend it watching Donald Trump. And for those of you who are like me, we can kind of just |
| 0:44.1 | experience this together. My guy Matt is here. He didn't have a great morning. He suffered through |
| 0:49.4 | the Donald Trump interview and others. And so he's put together, you know, some of the low lights, |
| 0:54.6 | if you will. And so why don't we go through them one at a time? Here's the president of the United |
| 0:59.0 | States on Meet the Press this morning with Kristen Welker. The first clip, wait, I don't know what |
| 1:05.7 | it's about. You show me. So is this a war as long as there's a naval blockade in place? Well, we have a blockade. It's been extremely effective. And the reason we have it is they try to blockade and now we blockaded them. And as you know, they're losing four to five hundred million dollars a day. It's not sustainable for them. They have an economy that's shot in addition to everything else. Their leaders are gone, their generals are gone. Their first tier and second tier are gone. Much of their third tier is gone. But they put up a blockade, and so we blockaded them, and we have the ultimate blockade. I don't consider that a war, but if you want to define it as such, I guess you can't. Well, how do you define it? |
| 1:44.8 | I don't define it at all. I don't think about it. I just do what I have to do. |
| 2:03.2 | I don't think about it. This is how blockades work, right? You know, you just blockade there by placate and then someone else blockade your blockade. And if you're blockading all the blockades, then you're not really in a war. It doesn't really solve any of the issues. |
| 2:03.8 | And I think that you hear there from Trump is him trying to offer, I think what he thinks is his offer |
| 2:11.6 | him from this war. He doesn't want to go back in. He's been totally humiliated. It is now about 100 days since he demanded unconditional surrender from Iran for the war to end. |
| 2:25.0 | Since then, we have been negotiating with them. |
| 2:28.4 | We've been the ones that are changing our demands and lessening our demands. |
| 2:34.3 | We're nowhere near unconditional surrender. |
| 2:37.2 | Trump has been completely embarrassed. |
| 2:41.2 | It's been a level of weakness unseen from a president in recent memory. |
| 2:46.8 | And think about all the times that the Fox guys and the Hawks went after Obama for not following his red line in Syria. |
