The talk to a sitting United States senator I got to know
I'm always so terribly lonely. The reason I'm cool,
like today is to defend my friends.
Yo Scarborough Jimmy.

At least I don't think so I mean
I really seriously doubt it, but that's beside the point. It is.

You got that right jack. We shutting up a musical number five having fun
I got a top hat just now:
we are not. I assure you this seems like yet another example of principle republican resistance. Were you drop your monocles because he said something
rude while ignoring the actual structural damage. His administration is doing to the federal government. I'm not sure. I follow well one example:
how trumps EPA just rolled back Obama era, standards for car fuel efficiency, which many experts predict, will make air pollution much much worse and destroy.
Little progress. Have we made on climate change? Is the fate of our planet more important and Donald

It's kind of a toss up for me. It's true! That's what it's made. How can you possibly think

Spend this in a positive way. You know for every reasonable human being, vote will lose on the coast, will pick up five k, K, K

peace endorse them and all the studies lied about all of it. You said the crime building an increase in cars
racially lied about. It is still defends the crime bill. All that stuff. He did that he's a sociopath liar Joe Biden, while Sociopath liar social.
Your path that man hyperbole, I'm not exaggerating, that's the exact.
The term was invented sociopath EC, it's for him here. He is talking about those people,
You tell me who we means when he's here. He is talking about putting them in prison, those people and let's, and whose you mean, let's listen, take back the streets. It does it matter whether or not
person that is costing you're Son daughter, my son or daughter, my wife, your husband, my mother, your parents,
doesn't matter whether or not they were deprived as a youth. It doesn't matter
not whether or not they had no background that enable them to have to become
a social, become socializing the fabric of society. It don't matter whether or not there are the victims of society. Does it matter if third, the victims of society, let's just lock, em up, let's not give a magical.
Gin or health care, let's lock up their fathers and their uncles and their brothers and say, let's lock them up and then lock them up to. Does it matter if their view

now this is called demonizing, the other that's what this is. So there is a third class of people out there that our animals and their voice
I went and it doesn't matter that our country has institutional racism, entreated them poorly and they are victims,
themselves. It doesn't matter, I don't care about them. I want them in prisons. What then locked up in cages ass? What made them do this? They must be taken off the street again, it does not leave me.
cause we created them that we somehow forgive them or do not take them out of society to protect my family in yours from them they are beyond the pale. Many of those people.
Beyond the pale which
I ironic, a that's. What calculus he says about Joe Biden can't vote for a democratic more for present cause he's beyond the pale cancelled for Joe Biden he's beyond the pale and now that's what he said.
about citizens who even admitted we created does it matter. If we created
I am neither monsters and their beyond the pale.
the any those people ever torture. Someone Joe could you did that any those people that are beyond the pale kick
desperate people out of their house in the middle of a recession created by Wall Street and your deregulation. No none of those people did, but you did today those people build cages to put immigrants in cause. You did.
Now who's the animal whose, beyond the pale its Joe Biden, the pale we have an obligation to
Cordon them off from the rest of society, try to help them. Try to change the behaviour, that's what we do in this bill. We have drug treatment and we have other treatments to try to do that, but they are in jail away from my mother. Your husband are fans.

and then hear her biting history of controversial racial comments. Yes, well did this one.
I know he's going to this one as the one about the seven eleven owners,
let's watch this show the nation. As you know, we are more common regulation in Delaware. The largest growth in population is indeed a very moving from India. You cannot go to seven eleven jumping down unless you have a slight indeed access, not much else tat gets. You know, that's, I think, those that that is the least of history
Put it that way, the only we should do is you should challenge these students we should show,

Now, wait! No, your audience swayed! You know your audience.
So that's what he means when he says they
that's how you know what he says they and them and corded them off, and we created them what they got to be in jail away from us. I don't care, I think, wow
While discussing the need for criminal justice reform at lunch and last year Biden said, people must continue to work to recognise black as equals. So they say.

Ladies and gentlemen, to marry black men and I might add women in prison and how did they get their Joe? Could I just see it a speech of you go and get caught a bay at present.

Let's do any still doesn't apologize for, in fact, still defends that stuff to listing, so these are more gaffes, these
more like revealing an old style thinking yet because he'd Jimmy, we all know that white collar crimes aren't that horrible to peep through you know, like maybe a crime that may be Hunter Biden, participated in those. Don't really hurt white people- I guess you know by people who are struggling in poverty and have no have no. I don't know, do you know I'm road to success or have no options? What kind of options as binding providing for anybody right now is giving us better care for all is even talking about it. Or did you just one imprison more people than
that's bottom line that I feel right now. Like you know, people are received in the live chat of seventy mentioned up. It's gonna be a low turn out this year. Who is really going to rally around Joe Biden and go while you know? I really looked at his record and I got to say I like it, so let no one so, let's watch this video again Shelley and break it down, take back the streets, it doesn't matter what
there are not the person that is costing your son or daughter, my son, your daughter, what are my cousin
I removed a year sister, my granddaughter that I kiss awkwardly
in camera or your prob date or my brother, your hair styles, I'm just saying words: thou, ah life, your husband
I mother, your parents is it is. It is take back my second cousin. It doesn't matter whether or not the person. That is a key.
lasting your son or daughter, my son or daughter, my wife, your husband, my mother, your parents,
doesn't matter whether or not they were deprived as a youth? Does it matter
I have no empathy just ass. No one else just asked
millennials do I have empathy, none no joke doesn't matter or not whether or not they had no background that enable them to have to become too too to the did enable them to a finish assent.
To finish a sentence, a social, become socializing, the fabric of society. It don't matter whether or not they are the victims of society. Yet does it matter whether or not there
victims of society and taken from me, a white privilege, guy, doesn't matter
your place. It society was, and I ought to know my privilege guy result as their about not my mother on the head with a lead plight shoot my sister beat up my wife taken on my son in the library, the candlestick he. What does it plain clue? What is a bit, my wife for them?
What pipe who has lead pipes, so I want to ask what made them do this? They must be taken off the street again, it does not need because we created them that
somehow forgive them or do not take them out of society to protect my family in yours from them. They are beyond the pale many of those people
and you know I preferred people who are pale exactly at their beyond the pay
and I like people who are paying yeah yeah, so if you go beyond pale, it's too dark beyond the pale. We have an obligation to
cordon them off from the rest of society. Try to help them. Try to change to be had tried to help them
you no one ever had a really care. I have to say this part. I have to say that that's what we do in this bill. We have drug treatment. We have other treatments to try to do that, but they are in jail in jail. You know my mother got who with
lead pipe, though the week after I was liberating Nelson Mandela from prison armed with nothing but a toothpick into nice click. Ok, there's Joe Biden, racist tirade to me.
add to this is the proper stuffy says on the second floor is a problem not just of those other stuff is also of pudding, but that is disgusting. It for my mother, your husband are fair. My third cousin twice removed Jesus Christ and president, so there's your Joey Biden, but you know it is. If you ever have a moment, you check out when Joe Biden Clayton are talking about how to work so hard for you no desire to get tat, it just is gross. It just shows you who, for the last forty years, have been taking care of the people.
They ve been putting us behind bars throat and in the underlying banks to screw us out of our homes and worse than that, take our homes away. Put us in an in forever debt may make it harder for us to get medical care not be able to discharge our medical debt.

we bombing and the other twenty enemies you have that we aren't just yet. This is this- is of Israel,
I've been a poisonous war is being used to prop up the empire.
And that's what I want to say. This is an empire
and one thing I don't wanna be misunderstood about this- is now
a Trump empire. Am I
article mass article is not right from article. It is a systemic imperial problem. If you
one of the foolish emperor we ve got a bush for you. If you want a polite emperor, we got Obama and if you want to call
Remember we gotta tromp, but it's the same empire yeah its debts that that that's exactly right, but people always criticise Trump for being a draft dodger, and I was one of those people. It seems like that's a bad tack to take, because someone made that the argument
that it, if John Mccain would beat Barack Obama, he would it had nor more moral authority to engage
that in the war in Libya or Afghanistan, or the that then Barack Obama who never served their both doing committing horrible atrocities. So the fact that you served in
build other people in Vietnam. Doesn't give you moral authority to do it in Yemen or Libya or Afghanistan.
or your rock or anywhere else right. So that's so my question is: what do you say to people who criticized Donald Trump because he didn't serve Armenia? I think it's
Dickie less? Because you can point, you know that same thing is going to be used against your favorite Democrats someday who didn't sir? Well it's a cleaner Obama, let's not make any state baron tromp is no more likely
join the military or marry a service. Member than you know, soften the were so this
in general, the elites aren't serving any longer at and I sort of reject the notion that you we focus on character in a rather than policy, which is of course, the name of the game in the dual believe
you often point out right focus on what we don't like at home in a more pejorative
about this person. Oh, he was a draft dodger. Well, so we're a lot of folks who're. You know in Congress today and I'm going to be our president
You sure, I'm more interested in whose willing to challenge Empire nobody's done it so far too,
said some pretty nice stuff. You know he hasn't followed through
When I even mentions the troposphere,
some reasonable stuff, like in his last inaugural, when he said great nations, don't fight,
was wars, I loathe trunk, but that was correct. Now he hasn't
drew the even mentioning that, on my behalf, gets me vitriol from you know the police,
less than I otherwise associate with so yeah, I'm here, you're herbicide, yet to block those people out because their very pro war. That's the problem.
democratic party tweeted out today they retreated the Democratic party. Today's indistinct
both from the Republican Party under George Bush. Again it's to war parties. It's really just one war party,
the money Party and they really like war. So is it how important do you think it is for ordinary people? So, just of conclude on Donald Trump, it doesn't matter why someone skipped a war. If you scan
doubt, because you you were dodging it or because you actually had a medical problem, it's new. Whenever you can skip out on killing other people for capitalists. That's a good call right!
Absolutely I actually really like to elect a pacifist or Quaker a draft dodger from view.
DA mayor who was proud about that now. That would be great with me. You know these. That's a principled stand, so you know, I don't think it makes you a better president, because you know you drop.
Bans on vague search, and I think that I'm any more qualified to speak out
just because I had you know this veteran platform. No doubt it probably gets me, you know
publications and attention, but in some sense that itself is an obscene thing. Isn't it yet? So you think it do. You think it's important for ordinary citizens to speak out against the war, even though they'll be criticizes being armchair quarterbacks and have their credentials question cause. You ve never served. I think
absolutely vital, and we need to reject the valor reservation in the common position of the soldier in the first place, and
and fighting against war is actually one of the hardest things to do. Speaking out against you warmly
as you know, as I'm ok said, you know, dissenters misunderstood as this one
it is to me up all the trade or a russian asset, and I'm not alone. You know tolls.
As well. As you know, I think it's vital to speak out on the issues that are hardest to speak out about an refrain. Patriotism, as in most cases, are many cases descent.
because the platitude of patriotism hasn't gotten us anywhere. Has it except you know,
billions of dollars in debt in seven thousand dead soldiers and probably about two point- two million foreigners since nine eleven at so now I want to talk about the the conflicts of soldiers who awaken to this problem. So when you were serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, what was your fee
think about those wars. At the time you are serving, you know I can count on my own intellectual and ethical journey. I have walked right, not sound, like Obama, gay marriage, but I did. I was sceptical of the Iraq war. While I was
there and I turned against it initially. I thought well, this wars not winnable, and that's why we shouldn't do it. Then I started to think. Maybe we
shouldn't really be here in the first place, you know
in general, across the board,
and then only later, especially after Afghanistan, gonna rascal and teaching history at West Point, which may be sort of insurgent, I started to think maybe
the entire imperial structure,
the system of militarism and them
her industrial complexes? What we really have to fight so happy
involved, but I'll tell you, maybe I'm ahead of a lot of thought and definitely more radical. If that's the word, when I'm seeing a sea change within the military within

we're bringing slew of anti war veterans, enlisted officers West Point rats, and it's almost

but you won't see us on MSNBC Jimmy. You know that. Yes, that's, very interesting, I'm so glad you brought it up by almost like that slip right past me.
so this a great article, you I'm sure you ve been contacted by Jake, Tapir and Rachel, mad cow and Chris Hayes
gotta bring you on tv to talk about this right. Will you knows-
only because you mentioned how the democratic rules?
like the Bush administration in those three just watch Rachel Matter right well used have little respect for ten years ago, wrongfully

I had told you on the show- and you know she was a strong voice, calling out the intelligence community and our book bs foreign wars were which no one else would do. No one else is very vital that she did that unfortunate
they shouted up endorsing the biggest warmonger running, which was such a crusher. For me right when you try to challenge people who are currently serving seek as it when I went when people like, I talk to people who, who are former military, they all say they apologize to the people of the countries that they invaded and they killed people in or whatever, but current people Ex tells you couldn't do that right and I say what do you say to those people, because it's weird that you can be against the wars which she is, she correctly frames them? What she does? She correctly cause out the intelligence community,
Yes, you can't tell people not to join any more like there's some kind of a you're kind of betraying your service. If you tough cuz, I a psycho, don't you feel bad that your service might attract other people to go serve in these bogus wars? And so what do you say to
No, I mean this is an important problem at one of them.

that, while I was, you know, still army and actually came out teaching at West Point, I was right in these anti war columns. You know right on the blurred line of what's legal and what's not within the army, and it got me and asked the gated in trouble. My pension, you know you know, was
All this really is a difficult thing, but I will tell you this: you know it is a difficult
to ask any like former or serving officer to tell people not join, or you noted,

go all the way down to the kids from Western Pennsylvania who serve and die on military and come back broken physically and emotionally, but I'm not surprised because you know
The system is designed for them. They may be water carriers for that system, and we may thank them.
But you know there is a dangerous of empire in every empires,
reduce them, and we all that different from them, the it
its gross on so many levels. But I think that is actually an insult to
the military to better and that we purport to actually and we play all their movies on. You know TB ass every memorial day and better than frankly, I find these holidays wretched at this point, which is,
why this year, man, I wrote
Article saying much does digit for at least three frame the whole thing, because, frankly, I'm sick of writing. Anti war articles are mortal danger because I don't have a lot of fate that they're doing any good,
but I do know that like when it comes to you know that
occupies style movement in economic inequality that we you'll take those direct action, grass roots message:
from history and realise that those are the taxes that worker and I listened to you regularly and I think I've seen an episode in a year.
were you didn't mention then he said
city of that- and I appreciate it- and I
a lot of veterans out there do because we're not a monolith and a whole
A lot of us quietly mostly but a whole lot of us are just about FED up and apathy is the most insulting thing. I rather be called a baby killer.
Which is incomplete and wrong by rather be insulted directly then, have you no citizen apathy, but that's what rains and asked what the media produces that they're out their part of the game. What was the word you use? They are the detriment.
The empire. What does that word? Adapter this of empire yeah? What does that mean? How'd you spell that word. That's about
BT are idea. You ass, you know just like the trash of empire leftovers of empire and in this this
has been the case throughout history,
in the british empire, the same thing you got these broken imperial soldiers who come home, don't recognize the country they just came from
They are not all the men who lot and take it out on the immigrants
the London who came from the same place, they were just trying to pacify her. I mean the state. This whole thing works in such a way to divide us whether it's you know by placer
necessity or immigrant status, but that you know where that way
my generation is
just the newest, in open
Vietnam generation of broken out
a broken soldiers that really are the decorous under an empire? So you not forgive me for not being excited about Joe Biden. You know who was the number one sheer leader for the Iraq war that broke me right, and maybe I'm not a tough enough guy, not maybe
it's possible! I weaknesses. I will tell you there watching teenagers.
Execute on the side of the road.
In Iraq.
Because they were see sheer sunium. We started that war that broke me
changed my life. Now, I'm glad I did what
Forgive me for not getting excited about the guy who defended what he called popular President Bush
six months into that war. When it was clear, we have a single wmd to be found, and you know
the civil war and already Qana kicked off so yeah. I can't get excited. When do you think there is a chance of soldiers refusing to serve at any point? I think it's
If, if I'm a little hopeful, not optimistic, you know
on the key mine. I mean people talk about the all volunteer force it of its
we all want your force was designed not by some should be her. You know asked the S. Activism
I'll ask it was by Richard Nixon, was designed by the Republican Party to squelch descent. That's why it was created so expecting
the old man to your force to suddenly you know, behave like the conscripts of Vietnam
It is again it's sort of another illusions. However, if you push
even a volunteer force which isn't really volunteer? It's an economic draft. I mean just look at the soldiers I served with. I mean come on buddy that even if you push volunteers far enough,
Jim at war for decades is we're gonna go into our third decade of war, not too far from now, I think, you'll see pushed back. I think you'll see
were folks who passive aggressively kind of revolve like the same.
there's did on cam closures. You know
endemic ship, but ass, for you know, refusal to serve less likely, and so
trial, can't so long as the things that you constantly talk about continue, which is economic,
disparity unemployment and the gig economy at the bottom,
also part of the same system. So long is that doesn't change for him folks,
We're gonna leave their crappy towns and neighbourhoods to serve in a place. That's them.
Most socialist institution in America, where, even if your
Nineteen and you ve got two kids in a teenage wife cause. I hung out of their houses. The army gives you a house and universal Healthcare
and at least a living wage. Mostly so you know I mean my point is if you
and sat on the demand, and you know less folks are gonna be,
joint, even that's unlikely. So long as we maintain the oligarchy. Again, it's not can sphere.
tutorial to say that as part of the same system, because now
