what s most important here. we have an expectation to do something that s bold and has courage and is big and is righteous. i don t see it happening right now. hopefully it will move. is that all that s a lot there. yes, and it all makes sense. and i am duty-bound to ask you if you re going to get in the game and run for this i am in the game. i m here on your show. well, we have a lot of people on our show. very few of them have run for president. yeah. i don t know, brian. i i want to keep my voice out there. all my options are on the table. i don t know what i m going to do. we ll see. and i m not trying to duck it. i know. i just don t know what the future brings because every five minutes look, you have to do live television. nobody will do tapes anymore because five minutes from now, whatever you said is outdated. that s true. it s just remarkable. so i don t know.
it doesn t take away from the fact that the human element is what s most important here. we have an expectation to do something that s bold and has courage and is big and is righteous. i don t see it happening right now. hopefully it will move. is that all that s a lot there. yes, and it all makes sense. and i am duty-bound to ask you if you re going to get in the game and run for this i am in the game. i m here on your show. well, we have a lot of people on our show. very few of them have run for president. yeah. i don t know, brian. i i want to keep my voice out there. all my options are on the table. i don t know what i m going to do. we ll see. and i m not trying to duck it. i just don t know what the future brings because every five minutes look, you have to do live television. nobody will do tapes anymore because five minutes from now, whatever you said is outdated.
credibility, tom cotton, who said that they didn t hear that conversation take place. cotton wasn t sure what he heard, he didn t remember, they want to duck it. they don t want to own this. they want trump to own it. we weren t there. disturb bin was there and other people were there. when the white house was called, let me tell you what s got my antenna up. it sounds just like something he would say, and he could is, when the white house was contact, they had an opportunity to back off on this right away and they didn t. the reporting cnn was, the words are what they were and we think this is going to be okay with the people who supported the president, like when he talked about the nfl and he said certain things that were ugly about the people protesting. we think they agree and we re going to be okay. they could have backed off then if they wanted. i don t think you want to argue accuracy here. chris, i don t know who they spoke to at the white house or if they were in the
