Rep. Michael Cloud on Talarico: "We don't need heresy -- heretical things coming out of his mouth that Texans don't believe in. We like our barbecue, we like our trucks, we like our firearms as well, we like our freedom. We don't want to go that path."

If you are justifiably concerned about the current crop of Republicans serving in public office, they pale in comparison to what's coming. Complete and total lunacy, detached from reality and the concerns of the people they're supposed to represent. Conspiracy theorists and bigots.

Well, look, you know, this isn't like I'm building a building, which I can do out of my back pocket. It's easier to do that for me, and it's what I've been doing. This is a whole new world, probably mostly good, but some bad too. And it's a very powerful world. It's a very—potentially really could be good for medical. I mean, some of the things they're coming up with now that they never even thought about. But with good comes bad, and we want them, we want all of them to behave for themselves. Tomorrow's meeting. What time is that meeting tomorrow? Two?

Natalie Harp: Noon, in the East Room.

Trump: So we have everybody. Give me a list of the people at the meeting.

Trump now says "If I weren't president, Saudi Arabia wouldn't be here right now ... They'd be wiped off the face of the planet." 🙃

Yes, there were reports after the Houthi attacks that Saudi Arabia wasn't pleased that the U.S. didn't come to its defense. What's your relationship like with the Saudis right now?

Good, good. I've done a lot for Saudi Arabia. I protect Saudi Arabia. If I weren't president, Saudi Arabia wouldn't be here right now. Neither would Israel. They'd be wiped off the face of the planet. I do a lot for Saudi Arabia. My relationship with them is very good. I like the crown prince. My relationship is very good. But remember, if I weren't here, there wouldn't be a Saudi Arabia. There wouldn't be an Israel. There wouldn't be various other countries also.

Amidst a failing war the US started, the SecDef chose to focus on measuring military members’ hormones, and injecting testosterone into personnel whose hormone levels he dislikes. He also fixates on PT while losing an air war. If you said this to someone a few years ago, they wouldn’t believe you.

I like him. Do I trust him? Who do I trust? I like Sam Altman. Smart. Dario's smart. They're all smart. We're dealing with a very high level of IQ. Very very high level. That's a good thing. I like that. I like it. Did you see the story about my uncle?

The one who taught at MIT?

I have the highest of IQs. I have the highest. I'm fine, and I understand that stuff. You know, my uncle was at MIT for 41 years, and you know, I'm a—I believe in genetics, frankly, and I understand. I understand it much more than I think any president would, because I do have an ability on this. I have an ability on those things that were the new frontiers.

TIME: Would you rule out declaring a state of emergency in the lead up to the midterms? TRUMP: I don't rule anything out or in. We'll see. You mean the Insurrection Act? TIME: Yeah. TRUMP: No, I've never used it. I could use it. A lot of people think I should use it sometimes.

Do you plan to dispatch ICE agents to polling places in the midterms?

Haven't thought of it.

Would you rule out declaring a state of emergency in the lead up to the midterms unless there's widespread violence in the streets?

I don't rule anything out or in. We'll see. You mean the Insurrection Act?

Yeah.

No, I've never used it. I could use it. A lot of people think I should use it sometimes. We have the best—look, we have the lowest crime in the history of our country. We have the lowest murder rate since 1900, 125 years. We have the lowest murder rate. That's despite the fact that they allowed 25 million people.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings
