SUPPLECANTS KISS THE RING. >> CLAIRE, WILLIE AND I TALK ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME, BECAUSE WE'RE MEN, WE TALK ABOUT HOW WE'D RESPOND AS MEN IF SOMEBODY INSULTED OUR WIVES AND CALLED THEM UGLY, AND IF SOMEBODY ACCUSED OUR FATHER OF BEING PART OFJFK ASSASSINATION, OR IF SOMEBODY GAVE OUT OUR PHONE NUMBERS LIKE TRUMP GAVE OUT LINDSEY GRAHAM'S PHONE NUMBER AND INSULTED LINDSEY AS MUCH AS HE DID, I MEAN, WE COULD GO DOWN THE LIST. YOU KNOW, MITCH McCONNELL SHOOK HANDS WITH A MAN WHO HAS UNLEASHED A TORRENT OF RACIST COMMENTS ABOUT HIS WIFE, BUT HE DID IT. I HAVE TO SAY, I'M JUST GOING TO SAY, I'M AN OLD GUY SO I'LL SAY IT THE WAY WE'D SAY IT, AND WILLIE AND I TALKED ABOUT IT NOW. AS A MAN, YOU DO ANY OF THOSE THINGS, YOU CROSS THAT LINE, THERE IS NO GOING BACK. YOU INSULT MY FATHER, MY WIFE, LIKE, THERE'S NO GOING BACK. THERE'S NO SHAKING YOUR HAND. THERE'S NO ENDORSING YOU. IN FACT, I WILL FOCUS ON DESTROYING YOUR POLITICAL CAREER FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. BY THE WAY, PEOPLE WHO KNOW ME KNOW WHEN THEY HAVE INSULTED CLOSE FRIENDS WHO HAVE PASSED AWAY, I LITERALLY SPENT THE NEXT 20 YEARS GOING AFTER THEM. BECAUSE, WELL -- >> IT'S WRONG. >> -- YOU DON'T LET BULLIES BEAT UP FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS. >> YEAH. I WATCHED THAT VIDEO, AND MY FORMER COLLEAGUES WERE GOING, AH, POWER, SELF-RESPECT? POWER, SELF-RESPECT? OKAY, I'LL GO WITH POWER. I'M NOT GOING TO GO WITH SELF-RESPECT. COUPLE OF THINGS STOOD OUT TO ME ABOUT HIS MEETINGS ON THE HILL YESTERDAY. ONE, DID YOU SEE THAT AWKWARD MOMENT WHERE JONI ERNST WAS FORCED TO KISS HIS CHEEK? KATIE BRITT RUSHED HIM AND WAS, LIKE, I LOVE YOU, HUGGED HIM. HE WALKS BY JONI ERNST AND STICKS HIS CHEEK OUT, AND SHE HAS TO PECK IT. BY THE WAY, THERE'S A PICTURE OF JOSH HAWLEY. I WISH SOMEBODY WOULD ASK HIM WHAT HE WAS RUNNING FOR THAT DAY ON JANUARY 6th WHEN THE CAMERAS CAUGHT HIM RUNNING. WHY WAS HE RUNNING? IF HE'S WRITTEN A BOOK ON MASCULINITY AND HOW TO BE A MAN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT MEN RUN FROM. USUALLY IT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE AFRAID FOR THEIR LIVES. THEN THE OTHER THING, THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A MINUTE, GUYS. DONALD TRUMP GOT IN FRONT OF MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND WANTED TO TALK ABOUT WHETHER TAYLOR SWIFT WAS GOING TO ENDORSE HIM. I MEAN, THAT'S JUST WEIRD! I MEAN, THAT IS A SCRAMBLED BRAIN. FIRST OF ALL -- >> SO WEIRD. >> -- UNDER NO SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES IS TAYLOR SWIFT EVER GOING TO ENDORSE DONALD TRUMP. EVER! AND SO HIM BRINGING IT UP IS SUCH A SELF-OWN, THAT HE CARES MORE ABOUT TAYLOR SWIFT ENDORSING HIM THAN ANY
