| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, Timmel from the Bullwark here. It is Sunday early afternoon as we are taping this. |
| 0:06.5 | We are coming down off the No Kings Hangover. I woke up this morning to look through the news, |
| 0:13.5 | and there's a lot of insanity and madness out there coming out of the White House. And so I thought |
| 0:18.8 | I would do just a little Sunday potpourri with you guys |
| 0:21.9 | going through a few things that are out there since we last talked before the rallies. |
| 0:30.0 | I guess I want to format this around what is happening on Trump's social media feed. |
| 0:34.3 | Because there's something different about this president. Well, many, many, many, many things are different about this president. But one of those is that, you know, we get to |
| 0:44.4 | understand his internal monologue at all times. You know, there's no like New York Times has to |
| 0:52.7 | talk to a friend of the president, to the chief of staff, who speaks |
| 0:55.8 | on background, who can provide some context on the president's thinking. And maybe that's true |
| 1:00.8 | or not. Or maybe that's spin. You know, that's how things used to work. With this president, |
| 1:05.6 | he just bleats what his thinking is at any given time. And his bleeds this morning were pretty revealing on a couple of factors. |
| 1:14.1 | The first and most important is the status of the Iran War. |
| 1:17.1 | So I want to highlight a couple of people that he referenced on his social media feed, |
| 1:22.7 | Mark Levine and Mark Tiesin, two marks. |
| 1:26.0 | Mark Tiesin is Mark with C. |
| 1:31.8 | Levin was interviewing Tison about a column that he had written in the Washington Post about how Trump is not losing his nerve in Iran. |
| 1:36.6 | And Trump also bleated the column about how he's not losing his nerve in Iran. So in case you had |
| 1:39.9 | any doubt about his nerve, he's not losing it. Mark Deeson wrote about that, and Donald Trump |
| 1:45.3 | is bleeding that article. So let's look at the column to get a sense into Trump's perspective. |
| 1:52.0 | Why did he think this was so insightful? It begins with a Rudyard-Kippling quote, |
| 1:56.1 | if you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, if you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you. |
