  1. An incredible pleasure to listen to this lovely, well-informed and deeply thoughtful woman... "incredible" here means that while one admires what she says, it's also incredibly chilling... talk about cognitive dissonance; this lovely woman is warning about a possible nuclear winter descending upon all the creatures of our earth as a result of one trapped Russian rat leaping at what it sees as its tormentor... that leap will be into nuclear war

  2. I always thought Scaramucci was a lightweight but this interview certainly argued against that. He's very insightful and as a result I've a newfound respect for him... if only he could've been allowed to put those insights to work for this country when he was in the administration, but that, of course, was not possible because: anything trump touches dies, due to his numerous personality flaws.

  3. I found this to be a fascinating hour; there's NO ONE I'd rather listen to on politics; Steve Schmidt's a professional, & was the senior campaign strategist and advisor of John McCain's 2008 presidential run against Obama, in addition to working for numerous other Republicans candidates through the years. I think he's the most eloquent person out there when he opines on America's political ills, putting all his insights within their historical context and often quoting liberally from the writings of our Founding Fathers and other great statesmen of the past, and while I don't agree with him on everything he says, I certainly pay attention when he has something to say on any political topic, because he tends to go deep, rather than the fact that he's from New Jersey). From Wikipedia: Departure from the Republican Party In May 2018, when President Donald Trump moved the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, sparking violent Gaza border protests, Schmidt said Trump "has blood on his hands".[31] On June 19, 2018, Schmidt formally withdrew from the GOP over Donald Trump's policy of separating immigrant families at the U.S. border with Mexico. He also cited Republican leadership for their failure to challenge the policy. Schmidt said of Trump, "We have in America—right now, at this hour—to understand that you have a lawless president, a vile president, a corrupt president, a mean, cruel president, who is seeking to remake the world order."[32] He tweeted "the Republican Party ... is fully the party of Trump. It is corrupt, indecent and immoral. With the exception of a few Governors like Baker, Hogan and Kasich it is filled with feckless cowards who disgrace and dishonor the legacies of the party's greatest leaders ... Today the GOP has become a danger to our democracy and our values."[33] Describing his new political orientation, he stated: This Independent voter will be aligned with the only party left in America that stands for what is right and decent and remains fidelitous to our Republic, objective truth, the rule of law and our Allies. That party is the Democratic Party.
