Today we're going to talk about Trump learning a quick lesson on the downside of unified

control of government after we try to blame a series of tragedies on Democrats.

And I have three interviews.

I sit down with Senator Raphael Warnock to discuss RFK's confirmation hearing and the hypocrisy

of Republicans who hide behind their Christianity.

I'm joined by Senator Schiff to discuss Cash Patel's confirmation hearing and his unwillingness

to tell the truth. And I interview Senator Klobuchar to discuss Cash Patel's confirmation hearing and his unwillingness to tell the truth.

And I interview Senator Klobuchar to discuss the willingness of Democrats to fight as Trump continues

to engage in lawlessness. I'm Brian Taylor-Cohen, and you're listening to No Lie.

Just a week ago, I mentioned how the only silver lining about Republicans having unified

control of government

is that with Democrats out of power, Republicans won't have anyone to blame for their own failures.

I assumed it would take longer for that to bear out, but just over a week into Trump's administration,

the plane crash in Washington, D.C. put Trump in that exact position. He was so desperate not to catch

any flack for the crash

that even though no one was casting blame, Trump decided to come out and blame DEI,

diversity, equity, inclusion, which is the rights boogeyman, it's catch-all, this euphemism

that really just means black people. In other words, Trump recognized that he was the person in

charge, and in order to preempt having to take any

responsibility, he wanted to lay down the marker that, in fact, he wasn't to blame. And of course,

that backfired in the sense that not only is he the president, not only are no Democrats in

power, but the guy came into office and took all of these steps to, quote, restore excellence
