Highlights

  • Sexual misconduct allegations and resignation from the Senate: “I need to be a senator. What took place was just some thing quite odd at a selected second. And you know I’ve had 9 of my previous colleagues apologize to me publicly for — all I preferred was owing method, and they came to figure out that, and I’ve experienced a number of apologize to me not publicly. I have not forgiven them… I imagine I should really nonetheless be there and I believe if I had gotten because of course of action, I would.”
  • Biden administration’s managing of Ukraine war: “I believe Biden is undertaking about as significantly as he can. I think he did an astounding task putting this coalition with each other. I assume that he took some hazards in undertaking that. He produced some of our intelligence really early, before than you generally do, declaring that they are heading to invade. And he did that early plenty of so that they had been ready to start off placing sanctions together. It requires a even though to place sanctions together. And so by the time the–the invasion commenced, they ended up–they experienced a bundle of sanctions in spot. It took a although to get everyone to agree to every little thing, and it truly is developed. But I consider he’s finished a fantastic occupation.”
  • Ukraine war and midterm elections: “It may essentially have an impact on the midterms, even though. You know, right now it truly is hunting undesirable, the midterms for Democrats. But my argument to Democrats in particular is that there’s a lot of time to go prior to November… In June, a pair of items are going to come about. Just one, we are heading to have the hearings on the January 6th Pick Committee. Jamie Raskin just said it really is going to blow the roof off the property. I consider people today, People in america, I have this tiny key, they like television and the hearings will be on television…I imagine you will find heading to be some really potent things. And I- I do feel that Us citizens, you know, the Republican Get together has just develop into this anti-Democratic party.”
  • “Woke” The usa and comedy: “I believe it has a chilling effect on comedy. I know a lot of standups who is not going to go to colleges…the comedians that I often- that I grew up admiring have been men and women like Lenny Bruce and George Carlin and Dick Gregory. People who were being- would use- would examine the edge of offending people today. And that- what folks I think recognized that then and that was a favourable thing…You know, all you need is a compact percentage of folks on campus to induce a stink or a ruckus. And so it would not- we are not chatting about automatically 95% of college students. You know, and so it really is just I believe it really is much too bad…”
