Donald Trump endorsed Eric in the Republican primary for
a Senate seat in Missouri.
Now, he writes in a statement,
I trust the great people of Missouri on this one to make up their own minds much
as they did when they gave me a landslide victories in the 2016 and 2020 elections.
And I am therefore proud to announce that Eric has
my complete and total endorsement.
Erica That'd be great if there were only one eric running in
the Republican primary for that senate seat in Missouri.
There are two Ericks running for that seat,
namely eric Greitens who had to resign from his post as governor after
allegations came out indicating that he was abusive to his ex wife.
He took it as an endorsement of his campaign and
said I'm honored to receive president trump's endorsement from the beginning.
I've been the true Maga champion fighting against the rhino
establishment backing Schmidt.
He's referring to eric Schmidt who's running against him
in the republican primary for the seat.
President trump said it best when he characterized Schmidt's
campaign as great dishonesty in politics.
Now, ERic Schmidt also took it as an endorsement for
his campaign writing via twitter endorsement.
President trump.
I'm grateful for for president trump's endorsement as the only America first
candidate who has actually fought for election integrity, border security and
against the left indoctrination of our kids.
I'll take the fight to the Senate to save America.
Now let me be clear about something.
Both these candidates are trash.
Okay.
The people of Missouri are losing regardless of which one of
these goons ends up winning the primary race and
God forbid one of them ends up winning the Senate seat,
which by the way to be fair, has been held by Republican since 1987.
So it's not looking good for democrats in Missouri.
But nonetheless, Greitens even claimed that he had a call with trump to thank him
for the endorsement.
He said I just had a great phone call with President trump.
I thanked him for his support together, we will mega and save America.
Ok, great.
Except Greitens was likely speaking of the trump call described
by political where the former president
reportedly called Greitens with the news of his endorsement trump.
Made a similar call though to eric Schmidt but
didn't tell either ERic, he was also endorsing the other.
Now this guy like trump is a chaos agent and usually we're the ones who lose as
a result of that, but in this case Chaos agent all the way.
I mean this is hilarious, this is such a fun story.
I don't know what the outcome of all of this will be.
I think that trump genuinely wants to endorse Greitens, that's my take on it,
but he has been discouraged from being vociferous about his support for Greitens.
What's your take dr Richie?
Well, as you said, both ERic's our garbage.
Okay, but look at the mind of trump here because this gives you
an indication of his thinking and what he thinks about others.
He literally could not make up his mind because of cronies who
are supporting both of these Eriks.
They came to trump and said no you gotta support this area.
No no no you gotta support this eric.
He says he literally asked, well do they spell their first name
the same way that was actually a question that trump posed to his team?
They said no no they both spell it E.
R. I. C.
And so trump comes up with a great idea because he thinks the people
that follow him are Children and he does not believe in their intellectual prowess.
He says I'm just going to say I endorse eric and
then he proceeds to call both Eriks and gives them the same lie because he
believes that they are Children to and simply playthings in trump world.
So while we don't agree politically with these individuals, they are adults.
And at some point you should engage, especially with the former President of
the United States as an adult, speak to me man to man.
If you're going to endorse the other guy, don't call me,
telling me you're going to endorse me and keep me in the dark.
So they literally had to figure this out because of them sending out
messages about the endorsement and at the center of this chaos the chaos
King donald trump himself, revealing not only his own psychology but
revealing what he thinks about those who follow him in the Conservative Party.
He just doesn't really care about anything or anyone.
The only thing Donald trump cares about is Donald trump and that's it.
Right. And so he has been urged by some senate
republicans to avoid endorsing Greitens who by the way, came out with a pretty
terrible violent political ad, which we talked about previously on T.
Y. T.
I want to remind you of what that ad is and how it promotes violence.
I'm eric Greitens navy seal and
today we're going rhino hunting the rhino feeds on corruption and
is marked by the stripes of cowardice,
join the Maggot crew, get a rhino hunting permit.
There's no bagging limit, no tagging limit and
it doesn't expire until we save our country.
Okay, can we just quickly address the fact that you have grown men
publicly filet Ting a former president for political brownie points and
then at the same time presenting themselves as tough guys like
holding a weapon is not going to dispel the notion that at the end of the day,
you're a little bit for Donald trump, let's just let's call a spade a spade.
That's the reality of the situation.
Yeah. 100 and Greitens friend best friend for
many years literally did an intervention video and said, listen man,
I know you don't believe in the big lie.
We've talked about it.
I know what you're doing and it's hurting you and it's hurting this state.
You have lost all credibility.
I mean, he went on and
on about how he supported Britain when he ran for governor,
how his mother took out a loan just to give him I think $2,000 at one point.
And this friend did a real intervention video.
But naturally Greitens says not responded to it.
And these individuals, as I have said before, are part of a cult.
They have volunteered to become part of this trump cult.
And look at the end of the day, it shows you what the priorities are for
these candidates.
It's not to serve the people of the state.
It's not to better the country.
It's not about representation or serving as a public servant at all, it's all about
doing whatever it takes, including public humiliation, to accumulate power for
what for themselves, for, you know, their narcissistic fantasies,
possibly to enrich themselves while they enjoy those positions of power.
Something that we talk about all the time on this show.
And it takes place on both sides quite a bit, you know,
trading on insider information, that they get through briefings,
information that the general public is not privy to.
We see these issues everywhere.
The system incentivizes the worst people to run for
public office because the system demonstrates that if you manage
to be rewarded or if you managed to get into that position of power,
you can abuse it all you want for personal gain without any consequences.
And I think that is at the heart of the problem.
You know, trump being a chaos agent, you know, all of that.
Sure, it's a problem.
But what is at the root of this issue?
And it's the fact that again, the system incentivizes self interested people
who just want to enrich themselves to run, and that's the reason why they
have no problem humiliating themselves as Brighton didn't in that ad,
by the way, in order to accumulate that power, it's amazing, yep.
Exactly.
All right, well,
let's get to our final story of the first hour because I love this so much.
And by the way, before we get into it, let me just note that dr Rashad,
Richey debated, charlie Kirk and that video is available on Youtube.
You should watch it.
It was marvelous.
Really well done.
Doctor Richie.
