I'm not going to believe anything until
00:00:01
a trial. That's my feeling. I don't
00:00:03
trust Cash Patel in any way. I think
00:00:05
people are grabbing bits and pieces for
00:00:07
their own. You know, the bullet was
00:00:08
trans. No, it wasn't. The shooter was
00:00:11
trans. No, he wasn't. Oh, his roommate
00:00:12
is trans. Well, I don't know.
00:00:14
It's clear what's happened here.
00:00:16
Governor Cox made the mistake of acting
00:00:18
like a leader and trying to take down
00:00:20
the volume and not engage in the
00:00:22
violence entrepreneurship
00:00:25
that the president and some people on
00:00:27
the left but mostly people on the right
00:00:29
have engaged in to find an opportunity
00:00:32
uh around violence to create advantage
00:00:35
at the expense of potentially fermenting
00:00:37
more violence. So let me go to the
00:00:39
notion let's assume his roommate was
00:00:42
transitioning. Okay. So the [ __ ] what?
00:00:46
If he had been in a relationship with a
00:00:49
white girl in a sorority at ASU, does
00:00:52
that mean this is the Republican's
00:00:54
fault? I mean, who the [ __ ] cares? What
00:00:57
does that have to do with anything?
00:01:00
I agree. His grandmother was like,
00:01:01
"Where MAGA?" I'm like, "I don't care.
00:01:03
That has nothing to do with it.
