NYT‘s Friedman: China Is Doing Better than America, Despite ‘Bad Stuff with the Uighurs’

Cuomo We have full ░░░░░░░░ here from Senator Murkowski ░░░░░░░░ think we re in ░░░░░░░░ place where Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ gone You disagree FRIEDMAN ░░░░░░░░ if you look at ░░░░░░░░ base I just don ░░░░░░░░ I just don t ░░░░░░░░ that Chris He still ░░░░░░░░ has a hold on ░░░░░░░░ Party The only hope ░░░░░░░░ think for the Republican ░░░░░░░░ Chris I thought of ░░░░░░░░ know the Democrats actually ░░░░░░░░ make the Republicans a ░░░░░░░░ very simple Here s ░░░░░░░░ deal Either you agree ░░░░░░░░ we get rid of ░░░░░░░░ filibuster or you agree ░░░░░░░░ for the next four ░░░░░░░░ all your votes will ░░░░░░░░ in secret because you ░░░░░░░░ clearly a Party that ░░░░░░░░ only tell the truth ░░░░░░░░ secret about Cheney about ░░░░░░░░ Greene So here s ░░░░░░░░ deal you know Either ░░░░░░░░ to hold all your ░░░░░░░░ in secret or we ░░░░░░░░ going to get rid ░░░░░░░░ the filibuster But we ░░░░░░░░ not going to go ░░░░░░░░ with this madness where ░░░░░░░░ guy sitting in Mar ░░░░░░░░ Lago calls the shots ░░░░░░░░ this in this Senate ░░░░░░░░ this Congress And I ░░░░░░░░ that s what Biden ░░░░░░░░ really understood very very ░░░░░░░░ I ve been so ░░░░░░░░ that just the cool ░░░░░░░░ way he goes through ░░░░░░░░ you know goes through ░░░░░░░░ process And it s ░░░░░░░░ healthy and it s ░░░░░░░░ to me Cuomo Well ░░░░░░░░ want to tell you ░░░░░░░░ I think Biden s ░░░░░░░░ trouble coming his way ░░░░░░░░ just for some context ░░░░░░░░ the point you re ░░░░░░░░ right now the poll ░░░░░░░░ know I know how ░░░░░░░░ guys feel about polls ░░░░░░░░ I m just saying ░░░░░░░░ convicting Trump and barring ░░░░░░░░ from federal office in ░░░░░░░░ future February 5th and ░░░░░░░░ this was done U ░░░░░░░░ adults 56 percent approved ░░░░░░░░ percent disapprove margin of ░░░░░░░░ is about five points ░░░░░░░░ Yes Cuomo So look ░░░░░░░░ what it s worth ░░░░░░░░ are the numbers I ░░░░░░░░ because of those numbers ░░░░░░░░ just can t get ░░░░░░░░ hands around the secret ░░░░░░░░ thing I know that ░░░░░░░░ would be less malignant ░░░░░░░░ they were in private ░░░░░░░░ Yes Cuomo But I ░░░░░░░░ that you have to ░░░░░░░░ up and be counted ░░░░░░░░ an elected official And ░░░░░░░░ definition of integrity you ░░░░░░░░ what do you do ░░░░░░░░ nobody s looking this ░░░░░░░░ like the obverse of ░░░░░░░░ You got to do ░░░░░░░░ right thing when everybody ░░░░░░░░ looking you know That ░░░░░░░░ the integrity of public ░░░░░░░░ So and I don ░░░░░░░░ think they can hold ░░░░░░░░ votes anyway can they ░░░░░░░░ I m being actually ░░░░░░░░ But the point is ░░░░░░░░ left that Party Chris ░░░░░░░░ long time ago They ░░░░░░░░ their soul to Trump ░░░░░░░░ that s why you ░░░░░░░░ seeing those with a ░░░░░░░░ of integrity like Rob ░░░░░░░░ Shelby others now to ░░░░░░░░ You know what I ░░░░░░░░ t want to fight ░░░░░░░░ base But I just ░░░░░░░░ t want to be ░░░░░░░░ of this show anymore ░░░░░░░░ Party is going to ░░░░░░░░ I don t know ░░░░░░░░ or how But this ░░░░░░░░ t go on the ░░░░░░░░ it is And we ░░░░░░░░ going to see that ░░░░░░░░ appear Chris as soon ░░░░░░░░ Trump has his coming ░░░░░░░░ party Because every day ░░░░░░░░ s going to say ░░░░░░░░ crazy thing and reporters ░░░░░░░░ going to be sticking ░░░░░░░░ in the faces of ░░░░░░░░ senators and saying Do ░░░░░░░░ agree with this Do ░░░░░░░░ agree with that and ░░░░░░░░ day is going to ░░░░░░░░ hell for them And ░░░░░░░░ s going to turn ░░░░░░░░ the heat They re ░░░░░░░░ living on borrowed time ░░░░░░░░ But you know what ░░░░░░░░ ve been thinking about ░░░░░░░░ as I was listening ░░░░░░░░ your show the lead ░░░░░░░░ here I was thinking ░░░░░░░░ what are they doing ░░░░░░░░ China today You know ░░░░░░░░ Do you know that ░░░░░░░░ takes 4 hours and ░░░░░░░░ minutes to take the ░░░░░░░░ train from Beijing to ░░░░░░░░ and it takes 21 ░░░░░░░░ to take the train ░░░░░░░░ New York to Chicago ░░░░░░░░ they re both about ░░░░░░░░ same distance I can ░░░░░░░░ I ll tell you ░░░░░░░░ they weren t thinking ░░░░░░░░ in China this week ░░░░░░░░ weren t thinking about ░░░░░░░░ knucklehead They weren t ░░░░░░░░ the week thinking about ░░░░░░░░ knucklehead who claimed 9 ░░░░░░░░ didn t happen They ░░░░░░░░ t thinking about some ░░░░░░░░ who s a QAnon ░░░░░░░░ I don t know ░░░░░░░░ were probably thinking about ░░░░░░░░ bad stuff with the ░░░░░░░░ and all of that ░░░░░░░░ for sure But I ░░░░░░░░ you they weren t ░░░░░░░░ their time on this ░░░░░░░░ And how do we ░░░░░░░░ this week after week ░░░░░░░░ after month and think ░░░░░░░░ are a serious country ░░░░░░░░ are so deeply unserious ░░░░░░░░ a country right now ░░░░░░░░ we need to put ░░░░░░░░ crap behind us OK ░░░░░░░░ get focused on the ░░░░░░░░ because right now we ░░░░░░░░ going to be falling ░░░░░░░░ and farther behind And ░░░░░░░░ s what s really ░░░░░░░░ my mind And that ░░░░░░░░ why I am praying ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden because I ░░░░░░░░ he s a serious ░░░░░░░░ He s trying to ░░░░░░░░ the right thing And ░░░░░░░░ think he is cursed ░░░░░░░░ a Republican Party that ░░░░░░░░ chasing a madman who ░░░░░░░░ encouraged people to sack ░░░░░░░░ Capitol You have to ░░░░░░░░ and repeat that They ░░░░░░░░ our Capitol on the ░░░░░░░░ of a big lie ░░░░░░░░ now a Republican majority ░░░░░░░░ going to sit on ░░░░░░░░ hands and be just ░░░░░░░░ with that Shame on ░░░░░░░░ Shame shame shame on ░░░░░░░░ Cuomo I can add ░░░░░░░░ That sums it up ░░░░░░░░ all its sadness and ░░░░░░░░ different dimensions.”
