Something that got a lot of press was
00:00:01
President Trump's reaction to the death
00:00:03
of Robert Mueller. Former FBI director,
00:00:05
special counsel, and Bronstar Marine
00:00:07
veteran. He died this weekend at the age
00:00:09
of 81. While former presidents Bush and
00:00:11
Obama share their tributes to him, Trump
00:00:13
went the other direction posting, "I'm
00:00:15
glad he's dead." It's another gross,
00:00:17
chaotic, mentally deranged madness of
00:00:20
King George moment. That's I was like,
00:00:22
can you just shut the [ __ ] up and not
00:00:24
give us your thoughts on every awful
00:00:26
thing that crosses your increasingly
00:00:28
aging brain? Thank you.
00:00:30
>> If you want an actual template for
00:00:32
masculinity, you could do a lot worse
00:00:34
than Robert Mueller. This was a guy. He
00:00:37
was a Marine in Vietnam. By the way, he
00:00:40
volunteered. He didn't avoid deferments,
00:00:42
no bone spurs. Marine in Vietnam, where
00:00:45
he earned a bronze star, went on to lead
00:00:47
the FBI for over a decade. And then
00:00:50
later in his career, he took on one of
00:00:52
the most politically radioactive
00:00:54
investigations in modern history. And
00:00:56
how did he handle it? There was no
00:00:58
theatrics. There was no personal
00:01:00
branding. There was no need to be at the
00:01:02
center of the story. He just did the
00:01:03
job. And this guy was real strength.
00:01:06
It's quiet. It's showing up. It's doing
00:01:09
hard things. And it's not making
00:01:11
everything about you. And I found it so
00:01:14
upsetting that this guy who's such an
00:01:16
outstanding role model and such a
00:01:18
fantastic example of what it means to be
00:01:20
an American and what it means to be a
00:01:22
man that his family would have to endure
00:01:25
that nonsense.
