The Chris Cuomo Project - Trump Just Made Comey A Hero

Episode Date: April 30, 2026

Chris Cuomo reacts to the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey over a “86 47” seashell Instagram post and the controversy surrounding Jimmy Kimmel after his “expectant widow” joke abo...ut Melania Trump. Cuomo argues that going after figures like Comey and Kimmel over speech doesn’t weaken them—it makes them more powerful. In his view, efforts by Donald Trump and his allies to punish critics through legal action or public pressure risk backfiring, turning political opponents into martyrs. He breaks down the broader pattern driving both stories: outrage, provocation, and attention are consistently rewarded in media and politics. Whether it’s the Comey indictment or backlash to late-night comedy, Cuomo says the system incentivizes escalation instead of solutions. The bigger takeaway: while attention is focused on controversy, key issues like the economy, domestic policy, and “Fix America First” priorities are being pushed aside.

Starting point is 00:00:00 The Volkswagen Atlas is a 7-seat powerhouse that actually makes sense for real life. It's got cargo space for all your gear, the dogs, and even half of your rec league soccer team. And under the hood, a 2-liter turbocharged TSI engine that hauls up to 5,000 pounds. The 7-seat Atlas, you deserve more space. Visit vw.ca to learn more. SUBW, German engineered for all. Well, they're back. This time about a picture of seashells on a North Carolina beach a year ago.
Starting point is 00:00:36 And this won't be the end of it. But nothing has changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary. So let's go. All right. You see and hear a man.
Starting point is 00:00:51 I see and hear a metaphor for why the midterms were just handed to the death. Democrats, and maybe in epic fashion. The only thing James Comey needed to say that he didn't hear is, one, what did he mean with 86-47, just to dismiss the absurdity? And second, thank you. Thank you for making me relevant in a way I never deserve to be. Thank you for making me a millionaire. Thank you for making me something of a martyr.
Starting point is 00:01:23 Thank you for making me the next Don Lemon. Thank you. That's the only thing that was missing. Because boy, what a gift the president just gave James Comey and the Democrats. And in many ways, you. Because this is a new low. And look, my personal take, I don't like what James Comey did during the investigative phase against Donald Trump or what he did with Hillary Clinton. I really believe Jim Comey helped. helped Clinton lose, okay? A lot. But here we are. And this indictment is stupider than the first one. And it makes the case that MAGA is done. It has been abandoned by this president. And that's what the Jimmy Kimmel's situation means also. One of the little slices of high ground that MAGA could cling to was, boy, the left just cancels, whatever they don't want to hear. And they don't let any voices in that they don't agree with. And they really are about censorship.
Starting point is 00:02:33 Not anymore. Now it's you. Now you are silent, which is deafening. As the President of the United States obviously uses the levers of government to punish 20,000 employees because he doesn't like one of them at ABC because he didn't like Jimmy Kimmel's joke
Starting point is 00:03:00 and of course our first lady Malania is here look at Maloney's so beautiful Mrs. Trump you have a glow like an expectant widow he just handed the midterms over he handed it over why
Starting point is 00:03:15 you're not about what you said you were about you're doing it in clumsy ways that nobody wants to have to own and you are obviously desperate to distract us from what was supposed to matter most. The war we all signed up for, who's going to fix America first? I'm Chris Cuomo. Welcome to the Chris Cuomo Project. It's over.
Starting point is 00:03:49 If you see this for what it is and you use it for what it can be, It is over. And I got to tell you, Todd Blanche, smart guy, doing what Trump wants, but probably ruining his future in the process. You can't be taken seriously, seriously standing next to this. You know that. You're a smart guy. I've interviewed you. You're the real deal.
Starting point is 00:04:24 But now that makes this even more obvious and ugly. He wrote 8-6-4-7 in Seashells, and you think that deserves a federal indictment? Really? You see a crime in that? Really? But you don't see it when righty asshole, Jack Posovich or whatever his name is, did the same thing about Biden. That was different. In 2022, someone well-known in right-wing circles, Jack Posobic posted on X.
Starting point is 00:04:54 86, 46. He did not take it down. He did not apologize. Mr. Comey has done both of those things. The Biden Justice Department never prosecuted him. By the standard of that grand jury, Jack Posobics, should face charges as well. Will the Justice Department pursue that case? Because they sound very similar. That's just completely not true. That's not how a grand jury does its work. They don't just look at a single image and then say, okay, yes, we'll indict or okay, no, we won't indict. They do an investigation. The mere fact that there's a similar photo posted or a similar statement made, that's true. Every day there's comments made about President Trump, threats made against President Trump. Every one of those are not, are not indicted. It depends on
Starting point is 00:05:38 the facts of every case. Saul Wachtler, the famous and then infamous New York City, New York Court of Appeals Justice, coined the phrase, a prosecutor. can indict a ham sandwich with a grand jury if he wants to. And this is why he said it. This pathetic approach to what's supposed to be law and order and you made Comey a hero and he doesn't deserve it. And you made Jimmy Kimmel a hero and he doesn't deserve it. And you're doing it on purpose to distract us. Not only are you the opposite of what you promised to be here, which was no more lawfare. It is wrong to prosecute your political opponents. And it's even more wrong when you use the levers of government to manufacture it. Remember all that? Remember how pissed off you were
Starting point is 00:06:35 about them prosecuting Trump for things he did? But things that weren't worth the prosecutorial effort, that weren't a great call of prosecutorial discretion. Remember how pissed off you were? Never again, never again. This is worse than anything that was done to Trump and you know it. Because that's what Trump does, is he goes too far,
Starting point is 00:07:02 because all he is in the business of getting the reaction. He's not a change maker. He doesn't really have an agenda. He just has personal motivation of self-aggrandizement. He divides on purpose for effect. Oh, well, that's just your opinion. It's actually not my opinion. It's Bill O'Reilly's.
Starting point is 00:07:25 He said it to me on News Nation. Trump does use divisive rhetoric. It's part of his... I know. It's part of his presentation. It gets him attention. It worked in 16. I know.
Starting point is 00:07:38 All right? But you did... You let Vance off on it. And Vance said, oh, he does it, but I would have brought in two examples of divisive rhetoric and said, not to try to gotcha, but to see if Vance has perspective on it. So there it is. In his lust and haste to take a shot at me about my interview, he gave it all away.
Starting point is 00:08:06 He gave it all away. the maga folk know that Trump divides on purpose for effect, which makes it even worse to me than if he were a real one, a real bigot, a real prejudiced, divider, demagogue, asshole. Because then at least it's authentic. Like, this is who he is, this is what he is. He's just doing it because it works. But it doesn't work anymore.
Starting point is 00:08:37 doesn't work with Comey, works for Comey, doesn't work with Kimmel, works for Kimmel. And look, they may get rid of him, but they'll make him bigger and more than ever before. Just like with Don Lemon, just like with all these bullshit malicious prosecutions. It's as simple as that. Support for the Chris Cuomo Project comes from Quince. Let me tell you something. having stylish garments that are priced right and quality made, that's the sweet spot. And that is quince.
Starting point is 00:09:13 High quality, everyday essentials, premium materials like what? 100% European linen. You know, the good cotton, the good textiles. Why? They last. They last. They're not trash. They're well made.
Starting point is 00:09:30 They hold up. They look right. They are seasonally adjusted, all the right things that you're looking for. Okay? And that's why I dig them. Looks good, well priced, but most importantly, well made. Because it's about value over time for me. Refresh your wardrobe with Quince.

Starting point is 00:10:19 because of what they say being intentionally divisive or potentially hurtful to our social fabric is laughable, risible, as the fancy people would say. The First Lady had every right to say this. Kimmel's hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family is in comedy. His words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America. People like Kimmel shouldn't have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening.
Starting point is 00:10:51 She has every right to say it. Is she right to say it? Maybe. Maybe that is a clear-eyed criticism of Kimmel. Certainly, it could be. an accurate take of how she feels Kimmel's comedy affects her family. But the lack of self-awareness, you're married to Donald Trump. You can let go of his hand for all to see, but you are hugging up the hypocrisy.
Starting point is 00:11:24 You understand? And look, I don't want to make the first lady relevant. She wasn't elected. I don't even know that she signed up for this, to be honest. But how can you talk about somebody having hateful and violent rhetoric intended to divide our country and not start with your husband? What are you thinking? I guess you're not. I guess you people believe that you can just say whatever you want that triggers people and have no accountability for it.
Starting point is 00:11:53 But you're wrong. You're dead wrong. And the second reason has nothing to do with Melania and everything to do with Donald. which is fix America first. The midterms are about fix America first. The many in this country, their mind is fixated on fixing America first because the crisis is real
Starting point is 00:12:15 and they know you're trying to distract from it because they know you have no ideas. They know that you don't know how. You have no solutions, only distractions. They all know it now. You literally went to war with a despotic regime
Starting point is 00:12:31 in Iran under false pretenses, because they're not weeks away from having a nuclear weapon. That's a bullshit lie. Everybody knows they're bad. It's not what this is about. This is about you not being able to deal with what's happening at home, not being able to deal with Epstein, not being able to deal with the economy. You saw this as easier killing American troops and who knows who else. Getting us into a situation where now we're running out of weapons. Thank you, Pete Hague Seth.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Thank you, Donald Trump. So now if somebody gets the balls, the minerals, to come at us, they now know that our inventories are down, that we wasted on a regime, that you knew you weren't going to replace in the first place. It was all supposed to be about this. This is the war we signed up for. Fix America first.
Starting point is 00:13:28 Wow, Jimmy Kimmel, in no way funny, as attested to by his terrible ratings made a statement on his show that's really shocking. He showed a fake video of the first lady like they were sitting in his studio listening to him and Melania and said,
Starting point is 00:13:46 you're an expectant widow. And a day later, a lunatic tried entering the ballroom. You want to hear something about that lunatic? One, he's a lunatic. So that's why I don't believe Nora O'Donnell should have been investing in his manifesto. It was just a way of giving a middle finger at Trump.
Starting point is 00:14:05 She should have just owned it. Oh, you thought it was about you? That was her being afraid of his reproach. She's not a real one either. There's so many phonies in this. So many people who are just playing the game. And now I know that that's frustrating to you. You're going to be like, wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:14:24 I thought you were with me. Now you're on his side. No, I'm about right and wrong. It's wrong to read the ravings of a madman just to insult the president and then back away like you didn't mean it. Have the balls to keep that same energy. You want to go at them and say, I think you're a pedophile. I think this. So I'm going to use as a proxy the ravings of a lunatic.
Starting point is 00:14:46 But then I'm going to go at it with you. She didn't do that. Why? I don't know. You tell me it doesn't matter to me why. What does matter is that everybody's playing you. They're all playing the game of provocation and rage. bait for clicks and for resonance because that's what's rewarded.
Starting point is 00:15:04 Trump thinks he's going to be rewarded for what he's doing to Kimmel. Trump thinks he's going to be rewarded for what he's doing to Comey. And he is. He's going to be rewarded with one of the biggest defeats in the midterms that we've ever seen because people want this and instead they're getting this. And I'll tell you something. Trump puts out that video of Obama, President Obama, and, for the first of, former first lady Michelle Obama as apes.
Starting point is 00:15:33 And all the megafolk defended, right? Just like they all do this. Just like they did with this. And him obviously giving comfort to white supremacists. Now suing the Southern Poverty Law Center as if they created white supremacist organizations. And we know why. Because he's about ugly division, period. Okay?
Starting point is 00:15:57 And they protect him. But now they all. own him and they will own the beating in the midterms. And the irony is that so many of those who are defending this jack assery are right about what's wrong in the country and wanting to see disruption of norms that were abnormal in terms of getting us where we want to be and changing the institutions and changing the use and lack of abuse of power. They were right about that. They were just wrong about him being able to fix it. But now they own it. And not in a stupid gotcha. And not in a stupid gotcha. way because they won't admit they're wrong. But because they're refusing to be authentic to what is
Starting point is 00:16:37 right and standing by that and now they're going to get crushed. They're going to take a beating and Trump's going to try to say that it's not about him, but it's all about him and this, fix in America first. And I really hope the Democrats don't forget this piece. Trump sucks. Fine. Trump is destroying. Trump is making everything worse. Fine, fine, fine, fine, But how are you going to make it better? Don't forget this piece. Don't forget this piece. Trump is handing it to you the same way you handed it to him
Starting point is 00:17:09 by allowing Biden to say he'd run again when we all knew he wasn't up to it or should have known he wasn't up to it. When you shut down your primary process and basically made a case that Trump was bad for democracy when you were denying democracy, in your own party. When you forced Kamala Harris,
Starting point is 00:17:34 and I get that Biden may have forced you to force Kamala Harris, and you gave them the immigration issue through your missing malfeasance. You gave it to Trump. You gave him a chunk of people who'd been your voters for two generations because you fought for the interests of the many
Starting point is 00:17:56 in the workforce instead of the few who benefit from a state, stilted system of choosing corporations in the top over everybody else in every way possible when it's not even necessary, let alone helpful. But now he's giving it back to you. And you better seize the gift. You better seize this gift because that's what it is. Support comes from ethos.
Starting point is 00:18:21 My brothers and sisters, insurance can be scary, but let me tell you something. Once you make the decision to get into the family game and you've got responsibility for others, you've got to think about it. If you're young and healthy, you can get $2 to $3 million in term insurance for $2, $3 a day. The reason I'm recommending ethos, the reason I'm happy to work with them is because I know that they do what they do well. E-T-H-O-S dot com. Use my name as a promo code and you'll get a discount when you call into them. But more importantly, you're going to get good service from a very trusted outlet.
Starting point is 00:18:52 If you look up their reviews, if you look up the lack of negativity towards how they do what they do over the years, you'll see why I am comfortable recommending them to you. Why? Because if you're going to have responsibility for others, you've got to take a look at the peace of mind that comes with protection. Peace of mind comes with protection in the form of life insurance. But what if I'm not young and healthy? Well, I'm not. They have a lot of partners that can work with you to figure out how you get what you need at a budget that you want. And they do it the right way. Again, Take 10 minutes. Get covered today with life insurance through ethos. Get your free quote at ethos.com slash Cuomo. That's ETHOS.com slash Cuomo.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Application time may vary. Rates may vary. But one thing that will not change is that ethos is worth checking out. I wish. Well, let me be careful. Nope, I'll say it. Getting indicted might be the best thing that could ever happen. me. For him to come after me for, I don't know, whatever, saying mean things about the president or whatever, it would skyrocket my career. It would make me rich. And would I want to go through it? I've been through worse. I've been through worse. But they don't even see how they are making people who don't even deserve it. Jimmy Kimmel doesn't deserve. Forget about the criticism. He doesn't deserve this platforming, this priority.
Starting point is 00:20:34 He doesn't, but you just gave it to him. Neither did Don Lemon. You gave it to him. Now, I'll tell you what, Ms. Ford may have deserved it because she's a real citizen journalist who's going out there and doing her thing and focusing on her community and the issues that she thinks matters. And, yeah, there's a heavy advocacy aspect to her work, but that's okay. I think she's pretty transparent about it.
Starting point is 00:20:59 and she deserved the platform that fighting back against his bullshit indictment will get her. But, you know, ultimately it goes to Don because the media chose him to make him their hero, which was stupid, but we do stupid things. Comey does not deserve high ground. He did stupid shit as the director of the FBI, and he hurt Hillary Clinton when he should have shut his mouth. And he didn't. But now he's got high ground because you're going after him. for seashells. You're going after him for seashells. You're going after Kimmel for being divisive. When you pardoned an admitted felon, when you took us to war over bullshit, when you're cratering
Starting point is 00:21:44 our economy with tariffs that were illegal that you knew were illegal. And now you're giving this guy high ground and all of it is a gift because instead of fix America first, you decided to put the fix into the American proposition. And the fix was your corruption and your ham-fisted approach to doing things and overdoing things. And now you're giving it to the Democrats. Do they deserve it? It doesn't matter. It's a binary system.
Starting point is 00:22:20 And just like they gave it to you, you sure as hell didn't deserve it. But the idea that people voted for Donald Trump to deal with the economy. And he has only dealt it worse blows. And if you don't believe that, you got problems. You shouldn't be allowed to drive. Because that's what every relevant metric tells you. But that's why you voted for him. And now you're defending him doing the opposite.
Starting point is 00:22:51 If you voted for Donald Trump because you didn't like how they prosecuted him, and guess what? I didn't like how they prosecuted him in New York either. I thought the DA's case. I thought the AG's case were, not worth bringing. Not that he didn't do those things, but this, nobody's above the law thing.
Starting point is 00:23:11 It's a bullshit. It doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean anything. One, it's not true, right? But prosecutorial discretion is a thing, too. They don't make every case they can make. They make the cases that they think serve the public interest. And I don't think it served the public interest.
Starting point is 00:23:31 And in fact, you emboldened Trump. But I do think he rigged his books. I do think he tried to, hide women and deals to help and benefit his campaign. But I don't think there were cases worth making. But I think he did it. And I know that that's confusing and frustrating to some of you, but you've got to think about the greater good.
Starting point is 00:23:52 You wound up empowering him the same way he just empowered Comey, the same way he's empowering Kimmel. And what the real losers here are the people who sit by silently when they know it's wrong. It was wrong when they did it to him, but it's not wrong now. That's vengeance, not justice. Do you understand? That's vengeance, not justice. It's not law and order. Right? It's I'm in charge of the law, so I will make the orders. And the orders are all self-serving and shallow and stupid. And we know it. And you know it.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Everybody knows it. And that's what you should be seeing. Not James. James Comey, not the man, the metaphor. Not Jimmy Kimmel, not the jokes, right? Not the jokes. The true jest is them thinking the American people will go for this. You are using the FCC to go after a company to get them to fire somebody because you don't like what he says. What is a more profound insult to free speech than that? Well, the FCC. The FCC's job is to make sure, to make sure what? To make sure the quality of a broadcast show is what? In line with American values?
Starting point is 00:25:18 Really? Really. Donald Trump? Why isn't the FCC going after Donald Trump and anybody who broadcast anything he says? Boy, he's president. Is that how he acts? Is that how he acts? Putting out a poster of him looking like some kind of overstuffed man in black?
Starting point is 00:25:38 holding an AK-47 with bombs going off behind him? That's how he practices politics with the regime in Iran? You think that should pass FCC muster? I don't. You see what I'm saying? This is a bullshit standard. This is free speech. Everybody knows it.
Starting point is 00:25:58 It's free speech all day long. It's censorship all day long. It's not even a close call. And you say you're supposed to be against this. And you're sitting quiet. And now you've given a gift. And the Democrats must grasp it. Grasp it.
Starting point is 00:26:16 And don't be what you oppose. Stop with the cancel culture. Stop with the extremism. Get extreme about fixing America first. Get obsessed with this. Get obsessed with the ideas. I'll give you a few. Would you like them?
Starting point is 00:26:38 It is legal. and practical to say corporate tax rates will be in part delineated on the basis of what percentage of profit and increased productivity goes to the workers. Is that illegal? Nope. Is it wrong? Didn't used to be. That's the big difference in our economy. You know this, right? Yes, innovation. But there was a shift in the 70s and into the 80s. It exploded in the 80s. It was called the stock market.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Companies had been traded on what is called book value. Okay? Book value is assets, liabilities, the number at the bottom, that should book value. That was a little bit of a vig for goodwill, for potential going forward. But then they shifted and they made Wall Street basically a casino. And now companies would trade almost exclusively on the idea of P.E. ratio, which is the price to the underlying equity value, as a multiple of that. Depending on the industry and the company, the multiple could be whatever the market wanted it to be. So back in the old days, companies rewarded workers for increased profit and productivity, seeing how they were the ones who were generating.
Starting point is 00:28:10 it, and they would up pay accordingly. Then they shifted, and they would take those rewards and give them to their investors. And then, when what became the precious commodity for the success of a company became the measurement by the stock market of how much more your stock price could increase, the people who became most important were no longer the people who were driving the productivity, but selling it. So the C-suite became more important than the workers. And look, the management had always made more than labor. That's not the point. The point is how much more, and on what basis? So you went from them making a lot more to exponentially, ridiculously more, and the workers making less. Why? Because the value to the company was the investors being
Starting point is 00:29:09 impressed and you needed me you needed that whiz kid c-f-o CEO the c-sweets you got to get him you see what he did on that last company you see how he changed their stock price you got to get him because he can juice it so i started getting the huge benefits that's what changed it was a choice it's not capitalism or socialism it's a choice and i'm saying now we need to make different choices You can't just say to the corporations, make the choices the way you're used to. Don't reward the Wall Street. We reward the Main Street. Give it to them.
Starting point is 00:29:48 Because they won't. And they don't have to. But you can condition what you do for them through government. Taxes, regulations. You could change how companies get treated on the basis of how they treat their workers. There's nothing illegal with that. You may not like it. We should debate it.
Starting point is 00:30:09 and let the best ideas win, but you could do it. Absolutely, you could do it. You could reward companies for what they do with their employees, and you can tax companies for what they do with their employees. Absolutely. And if you don't think so, let's litigate it and see. But I've done the research, and it's really a no-brainer. But you've got to have the will.
Starting point is 00:30:32 You've got to have the obsession. You've got to have the focus. But instead, we're talking about chicks. with the dicks and Comey and Kimmel because they're all cuck cuss because we're crazy. But see the game, see the opportunity, see the gift because it is there right in front of you. That's why I'm selling the swag to get you to brand the change that we need to see that the many want that we signed up for, that MAGA was supposed to be about, that no kings is about, that the biggest populist movement in the modern history of this country is about the two parties
Starting point is 00:31:15 are desperate for you to not see it. They are desperate for you to be distracted from it. Trump sucks. They want to be enough on the left, right? The left is crazy. We're going to attack everybody. Is that what they want to be enough on the right? Because this is hard. Don't let them get away with what's easy for them. that makes it hard for us. Don't let the Democrats forget this piece. They're going to get the reward in the midterms. But what are they going to do with it?
Starting point is 00:31:49 It's got to be this. No, we want to impeach a new investigate. Then you are being what you oppose. You are asking for more of this inaction and inertia on the issues that matter to the many. No, they have to impeach Trump. But they can't remove him. Why?
Starting point is 00:32:06 Why? That's the definition of insanity. No, no, no. We have to go after all his people. That's what we're living through now. When does it end? When does it be about more than the short-term gratification of one side versus another? Instead of the satisfaction of a many and moving the country in a direction. I mean, I get it, but it's not justice, it's vengeance. and they were saying the same things that you guys on the left are saying now. No, no, no, got to go after them. Gotta go after Fauci.
Starting point is 00:32:45 Got to go after Cuomo. Got to go after Biden. Got to go after this. Got to go after that. And it fucked them. That's what we're seeing right now. The fuckery. Don't make the same mistake.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Take the gift. Use it to fix America first. Be obsessed with that. win the battle of ideas on better ideas, not which is worse. Everything is under attack. All the rules are under attack. All the institutions are under attack because that's what works. But the president is giving you an opportunity to change the reward structure.
Starting point is 00:33:25 Instead of what you can tear down, it's what you can build up. As Pop used to say, may rest in peace, any jackass can kick down a barn. It takes a good man and woman to build one. Who wants to build? is what America wants. We know it in every poll. It gets drowned out by social media because the algorithms are designed to distract us
Starting point is 00:33:46 and to provoke us and to outrage us. See it. Don't allow it. Don't reward it. Fix America first. Take the gift of them indicting Comey. Of them canceling Kimmel and using government to do it by threatening the license.
Starting point is 00:34:06 of one of the biggest broadcast networks because they don't like the joke. Take that gift. Otherwise, they're going to keep taking what makes us who we are because they don't give a shit about our greatness. They give a shit about theirs.
Starting point is 00:34:25 And they see it almost exclusively as a function of how bad they can make the other people look. We are losing bigly. But better days are right there. Victory is right there. It's simple. It's not easy, but it's simple. Fix America first. Trump sucks. Okay, but this is better. And you can get to do both because he's making the case against himself for you with Comey and Kimmel and going into Iran illegally and foolishly with no real exit strategy that we're all watching in real time. 42% increase to the defense budget you want.
Starting point is 00:35:11 Are you fucking kidding me? No, he's not. Take the gift. Don't stop with he's an idiot. Take the gift and show how you're not an idiot. Show how you're better. Make different choices for who gets rewarded and on what basis in our corporations.
Starting point is 00:35:33 Go to war with the healthcare companies. Go to war with them. Go to war with them. You've got to change. You're making people sick. You're taking advantage. Here, the many matter, not just the few. The needs of the many must come before the wants of the few.
Starting point is 00:36:01 E, pluribus, unum, out of many, one. Not one over the many. that's not what the phrase is, that's not what the coin says. See the gift. Take the gift. Don't get obsessed with the gift. Get obsessed with using the gift.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Comey isn't the end. He's the beginning. Kimmel isn't the end. He's the beginning. Free speech being censored isn't the end. It's the beginning. Because this is a battle to the bottom of vengeance and false vindication
Starting point is 00:36:35 and corruption in your face. Maga is done. It has been a band. by the people who benefited from it and got into power on it. And now there's opportunity for better. Fixed America first. See it. See it.
Starting point is 00:36:51 I didn't spend 35, 40 minutes here, whatever it is, just bashing how bad the case is because there's a lot more important aspects to this than that. Of course I can argue it's free speech all day for Kimmel. Of course I can argue this is a frivolous case and there's no real crime to organizing seashells. Of course, that's easy. proving that they faked the urgency that Iran was weeks away from nukes is easy.
Starting point is 00:37:19 Go look up grassy, G-R-A-S-S-I, the head of the IAEA, and what he said. He didn't say that. Of course they want a nuke. But that doesn't mean that you have to go in this way right now, and that's how you're going to get it done, because clearly you haven't. Okay? You said it would take two weeks where it's 60 days. thank God, now Congress has to act on it.
Starting point is 00:37:42 They'll probably vote to extend, and those who do are giving you a gift because they are fucked. See the gift. Use the gift. Fix America first. Can I get an amen? Chris Cuomo here.
