president is someone who is self-indulgent, self-pitying, and is susceptible to any theory no matter how outrageous or out there that seems to be exculpatory for him. there's one thing for politicians to sit in a room and feel sorry for themselves and, you know, sort of go through all of this. when they do it out loud, they give everyone like you a chance to, you know, lay it all out and expose the lies, you know, the made up stories, and the conspiracies. >> had you do it out loud now, it could be a new article of impeachment like attacking the whistle-blower. something like that has legal or serious existential ramifications. we do have breaking news out of hong kong, violent clashes erupting between police and protesters. it's coming on a really important day as china celebrating 70 years of communist rule.
