Richard M. Nixon

Yes.

I am surprised at Talarico. He ran a good campaign, but it was a general election campaign. If he won a primary like this, the other side has something to sweat about.

Rubio has fewer allies than Vance, and Vance has none.

The mood at the Pentagon is not good.

I have no plans to die.

Khamenei was dying of prostate cancer.

They did this to fuck us.

We are back.

Are we ... we're bac -- we're on the air. Are we on the air?

What?

Many of you miss our column. It will return for the election. It will not focus on Trump personally, because it can’t. It’s like analying ferrets. We have never pretended there is a method to what he does. The whole point of the thing was to tell the truth and write what you couldn’t find elsewhere.

They are still writing thousands of words about him being a serious man who prostitutes himself and so forth, when for damn near fifteen years I’ve shown you left, right, and sideways he’s a clown without an original thought in his head.

The Iran war is 60% unpopular with the dust still in the air. Unless Tehran turns into Alexandria, Virginia by '28, Vance and Rubio - together or separately - will need to run fast and far from it. But they won't be able to.

Hegseth has an American flag pocket square. Of course there are far more clear and present dangers, but it was once understood that respect for the flag meant not turning it into articles of clothing.

He does. He doesn’t control money in the country.

Phil Leotardo

Within Iran Pahlavi is at best a symbol, and not a major one. He doesn’t have people or money. There is some desire to install him as a transitional figure, but none to go backward.

“In terms of winning.” You see what you want to see.

Yes. Lamb ran towards Biden. It was the wrong thing to do. In terms of winning I said so then, and I stand by it. Fetterman had his questions but as opposed to now his message was coherent and he seemed to want to be there. Kenyatta—who is talented—ran on the solid left but he’s Black and gay.

It has nothing to do with what I do or don't believe the president can do. It is a tool applicable to current politics.

The War Powers resolution is not a bad idea. You put some backs to the wall that way. In this climate it could help you swing elections.

If it is advantageous or convenient to kill the leader of another country, it's in your interest to get his own people to do it.

There it is.
