The speech was like the Sherlock Holmes dog that didn't bark. It didn't say a lot of new things. He did not lay out an aggressive or bold new plan for Iraq.

President of United States has not had a security briefing, or security briefing since October 2nd. I've never heard of any president, under any circumstances, come anywhere close to that, and been so derelict of the duty.
I think the main thing is to represent the President around the world.
You know, his comments today about doctors are, you know, are milking the system so they can get rich off the pandemic. It is just so odious, and to go after Laura Ingraham like that was just wrongheaded.
You can stand up and say we shouldn't be doing this because it's unconstitutional. Therefore, I never have to come to say whether I agree or disagree whether he incited the riot.
