Dick Cheney's getting a political makeover for his former critics all because he, because
they don't like Donald Trump. This story, okay. Let me, let me put into perspective.
This is a man who was, he, he was actually regarded by all the media
as Darth Vader, because he was responsible for the big lie that killed a million people in Iraq.
He drove that train. He created all the subterfuge that allowed us to go into Iraq. And, you know,
he controlled the media even. You think back on Iraq, think about CNN and Fox and they've
got these big maps on the floor. And Dick Cheney says this and Dick Cheney. Dick Cheney was the
guy most responsible for the Iraq disaster. Now he is the hero, he is absolutely the hero
of the Democrats. These people who've said, my God, he's awful. Well, apparently not.
Yeah. You know, he came out recently, obviously did this ad for his daughter, Liz Cheney, trashing
Donald Trump and saying, you know, oh, we're gonna keep him from ever getting in office again. Please
go vote for my daughter. Who also please forget the fact that she sold out her own gay sister.
Yes. To advance at the Republican party.
Well, that's, that's an important story because that tells you who this woman is.
Talk about that a little bit. I wanna spend a little time on this story.
Yeah. They basically, you know, Dick Cheney has one daughter that, that is a lesbian
and the rest of the family has kind of just pushed her aside,
pretending you don't exist. Yeah.
And consistently voting to take away the rights of their own sister.
Yes, yes. For political gain.
Yeah. And, and even
Dick Cheney's horribleness goes, you know, way further back than Iraq, with Iran Contra. He was
in the Nixon administration and all the while from Nixon until he left office, his whole idea
was let's expand the power that the president has. Right. If you expand the power of the president,
we can pick a war wherever we want. We're not gonna have Congress getting in our way. And you
know, Halliburton connection, how many billions and billions and hundreds of billions of dollars
did Iraq, did, did Halliburton make an Iraq? Well, who was in charge of that?
Yeah. The Dick. You know.
Exactly. The Dick was in charge of that. But now the Dick
is the hero. He's the absolute hero of, of not only, not only just middle of the road Democrats,
but progressives all because he hates Trump and his crazy daughter hates Trump.
And his crazy daughter, if you look at her history, will scare the bejesus out of you.
Right. And she still voted with the entire Republican party over 93% of the time.
Yeah. So there really is no daylight between any of
these people. But the funny thing is, you know, talking about the rehabilitation of this guy.
Back in January when he shows up at Congress for the one year anniversary of January 6th,
he gets a standing ovation. I know.
Like, the Democrats, Nancy Pelosi, everybody standing up, oh my God, we love you.
It's insane. It's insane. Look, here's what really set me off. The, you know, he goes from
being Darth Vader. Do you realize the Washington Post said that between him and his daughter,
they are the new Obi-Wan Kenobi. They are, I'm not making it up, Washington Post says
yes, these folks are like the Obi-Wan Kenobi come to save this Republic. Now, how do you get there?
Well, you get there because all you have to do is come out and say, hey, I hate Donald Trump too.
He's a really bad guy. So I am your best friend. Forget about all those pictures
from Abu Ghraib. Forget about GITMO. Oh, by the way, he invented Abu Ghraib.
I mean, he's the guy who made Abu Ghraib happen because of what you said. He said, the president
has the ability to do that. We don't need Congress. This guy is a war pig. And you know,
the other part of the story, people don't know the Dick here. Well, the Dick in the, in 2000
election, he was the guy who was tapped to go find a vice president. Well, it just so happens,
he appointed himself as that person, the vice president, because his relationship with
Halliburton. He knew he was gonna make a ton of money if he could just start another war that cost
us a million lives and God knows how much money. But, you know, what's really disturbing about this
is that he's not the only one who's had this image makeover.
Yeah. All of these other individual, I mean George
W. Bush. Oh, well he was so cute handing Michelle Obama a piece of candy at Trump's inauguration.
We love him now. He couldn't figure out how to put on his raincoat. So he's a hilarious.
Oh, hilarious. He just painting his beautiful pictures. His
approval rating is back up into the seventies. Yeah. Was at 40 when we were talking about how
disgusting the guy was. Yeah.
The same thing that happened with Avenatti. You've done story after story on Avenatti.
Dems, I love this guy. Well, okay. You know, he was caught stealing money from
clients to the tens of thousands, actually millions of dollars stealing from clients,
but he was the Democratic guy. Then you had Scar, Scaramucci, right?
Yeah. Tell me that story.
Anthony Scaramucci who lasted, you know, the famous 10 days as Donald Trump's press secretary,
you know, was so excited to be there. We're making America great again. Then he gets fired and says,
well, I hate Trump now. And so all of the liberal podcasters say, well, come onto my
show and let's talk about how bad Trump is. How about, how about Michael Cohen?
Oh my God. Okay. Tell, this is another
love story that develops with the Democrats because he's willing to say I hate Trump, so.
Right. Michael Cohen spends 20 years of his life fixing all of Donald Trump's legal problems,
you know, wanting to live the high life like he sees Trump doing. Taking money here and there.
Absolute just scumbag. But then he gets busted and now he says, well, I hate Trump too now.
So the liberals, once again say, well, come on over to our side, buddy. You're our best friend.
Well, the Dick, he is now the new face of the Democratic party if you believe what
you're seeing. I can't even believe what I'm seeing. Farron, thanks for joining me. Okay.
