All right, this episode I want to talk to you all about the fissures that are forming in this authoritarian regime.

0:10.9

And it's super important that we keep an eye on those.

0:14.0

The compounding evidence of dementia in Canks and his confession that he is taking dementia tests and can identify a giraffe

0:25.4

on a piece of paper and that he is receiving MRIs, the wondering walkabout in Japan. Just this

0:33.5

morning in South Korea, he is seen going down the stairs of Air Force One death grip on the

0:40.1

staircase. And so for an authoritarian regime, when the strongman starts appearing weak, more

0:47.0

and more fissures emerge. And then the third component of this episode will be the opposition.

0:53.4

So first, let's talk about the

people that have voted along with him time and time and time again. So in my mind, I'm thinking,

2:12.9

why aren't they voting to overrule the tariffs on Canada? Why Brazil? What's the underlying thing there?

2:19.6

And then Mitch McConnell, he's such a fucking coward. He could have stopped all this. But I do think

2:24.9

it's super significant because when Trump comes back, it's going to be an all-out assault on these people.
