Can and remember this Joe Biden is a threat to democracy. He's a threat And you know we'll bring an adversary's and I'll bring it in right now But even Vladimir Putin has anybody ever heard of Vladimir Of Russia says that Biden's and this is a quote politically motivated persecution of his political rival Is very good for Russia because it shows the rottenness of the American political system Which cannot pretend to teach others about democracy So, you know, we talk about democracy, but the whole world is watching the persecution of a political opponent that's kicking his ass It's an amazing thing Well, we are joined by Adam Kinzinger a proud rhino self-professed dad Husband lieutenant colonel in the Air Force National Guard a CNN senior political commentator and former Congressman welcome to the show mr. Kid to be with you. I'm excited to be here It's so much to talk about well, let's talk about that clip we played at the outset You now have Donald Trump the leader of the Republican Party a party that you were once a member of Congress under the bar banner the leader is quoting Vladimir Putin as a Source for American democracy. What's your response? Look? I mean this is the thing We have to battle against here is our tendency to just kind of gloss over this and just yeah I we've heard this before and you know It's no longer out rate and this is this point he drives a throw so much crap on the wall that it just like no We no longer outraged but the thing that drove me nuts beyond you know the credence obviously he's giving to To Vladimir Putin is listening to the people in the audience particularly when he goes How many of you have heard of Vladimir Putin? You heard a couple booze in there? You heard a lot of cheers like yay Vladimir Putin I mean this is a guy who is murdering innocent people in Ukraine as a territory grab and Donald Trump for whatever reason, you know who knows the exact reason besides he definitely admires strongmen is
Using him once again as a source and remember he stood by Vladimir Putin and said he trusts Vladimir Putin over our own CIA one Time about the selection. It is it's nauseating and the problem is I think too many people are becoming numb to it And they're like yeah, but the border or yeah, but inflation This is a damaging devastating thing in the brain rot in people's minds the brain worms that are from this are just are just They still it still shocks me daily You know, and then one of the things that Donald Trump consistently brags about in interviews right now is That he created a song with some of the most dangerous January 6th insurrectionist And they came up with a band together called the J6 choir And so before Donald Trump gives those traveling fascist circus events that he calls rallies Instead of playing the national anthem first he plays the J6 choir Anthem and then brags, of course It's a lie that it gets more downloads or more people listen to it than Taylor Swift here. Just watch this Here put play this clip. No way. That's like really beating Taylor Swift by the way. Yeah, I did The J6 is beating Taylor Swift. It's Donald Trump and the J6 The Pledge on iTunes and to an Amazon and on billboard, which is the big deal Number one Donald Trump So now I feel like Elvis because now we've done the apprentice. That was a great success We did now I've done now I've done a recording or whatever you call it But no it was number one and you know what that is that's attributed to the fact that people feel the J6 People have been very unfairly treated just What's your response to that mr. Kinsley? Yeah, so look it's a couple things first off Let's just state the obvious. There's not more people listening to that than I've never even heard it I just know he does it I refuse to listen But there's no more people listening to that than Taylor Swift. Okay, so that's obvious We all know it, but I think we have to point the truth out the only way to defeat lies is just to consistently say the truth The other thing is I think at one point he called him hostages now that's interesting given
