“Let’s put her with the rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. OK, let’s see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face.”

    She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, okay? Let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face. You know, they’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, “Oh gee, we’ll—let’s send, uh, let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy.”

    When he’s right, he’s right…but let’s not give him too much credit. Right after the “if it were up to her we’d be in 50 different countries” quote, he says,

    You know, it used to be you go to war, “to the victor belong the spoils,” right? In other words if you beat a country you own that country, you take the oil, you… We go to war, we bomb the crap out of it, then we leave. You know, it’s almost like, what are we doing? What, what’s going on we, we bombed the whole Middle East and then we left. What did we get? We got nothing.

    More importantly, though, in the midst of his 15 minute rambling answer to Tucker’s question (which was simply “Is it weird for you to see Liz Cheney […] running against you with Kamala Harris?” lmao) we’ve got the obligatory Trump talking about big strong guys (starts at 2:14:26)

    I had two people, Secret Service guys, both extremely rough…guys… One was like a karate champion, one was a weightlifter. […talks about how someone accused him of putting them in a chokehold…] to think that I would be taking on two nice young guys, simultaneously!

    Dude love his big tough guys, I can’t fault him for that

    edit: here’s a transcript if anyone wants to peruse it (much easier to read than the YouTube auto captions that don’t have capitalization or punctuation)
