I'm always fascinated by fads and by moments and why something is important and why is it critical.
What made the Beatles, the Beatles?
Why were the Beatles so great?
People will look back after the fact, well, they were great.
Well, you're saying that because they were great and they were incredible, and you're now trying to figure out after the fact, kind of like a post-hoc rationalization, but at the time, can you tell me why they were that great?
Well, I...
No, you can't.
You can't.
And that's the beauty of this.
You can't.
You don't know why.
But some things are great, and some things aren't, and some things work.
And then what's even more interesting is when something stops being great.
When something just goes away.
I'm going to give you a terrible example, and a good example, and a good analogy, and a good version of what I'm saying.
I'm going to explain this to you, and explain also why Trump is Godfather III, and what that even means.
I'll explain it to you.
And it's a great lesson in life and politics and everything else.
But first, first, my dear friend, I ask you the following.
I ask you a very, very, very simple thing.

Do yourself a favor.
I'm going to start off with a bad example, but you'll get it.
When I was a kid, I remember when Tiny Tim, Herbert Corey, tip-toe through the door with a white face, and he was the biggest thing anybody's ever seen.
He was kind of like the Pet Rock or whatever.
Why?
I don't know.
He was scary.
I don't know.
And they loved him, and people, they couldn't get enough of him, and laughing at him, and he had his wedding, remember, with Miss Vicky on Johnny Carson?
Ask your parents.
It was huge!
And then one day, I don't know why, they said, that's enough of Tiny Tim.
What?
That's enough.
Disco, one day said, that's enough.
Bellbottoms, one day, that's enough.
It just ends.
Fordville, that's enough.
And there's no announcement.
Nobody says.
And the reason why is it just happens.
Trump in 2016 was Godfather 1. The first Godfather.
The Godfather.
It was wow.
Brando, everything, leave the gun, bring the cannoli.
I mean, just everything Luca Brasi.
Luca Brasi being killed.
That was the second.
In any of it.
It was incredible.
It was incredible.
That was Trump 2016.
Something you've never seen before.
You never saw a campaign like that?
You never saw people showing up at events?
People waiting 24 hours plus just to see the man?
Speaking extemp two hours at a time?
Saying things that were, frankly, sometimes rather juvenescent, but nonetheless impressive.
Making an incredible impression.
He was wonderful.
That was the godfather.
2020 came along.
Still good.
That was the...
The actual term, you know, the actual presidency itself, and then there was that election.
And I told people then, I said, you know, he's not going to make it.
But it doesn't matter.
Because he was still great, he was still Trump, but it was Godfather II.
Godfather II, if you think about it, was not the same.
It was good, it was great, but not...
Nothing like the first one.
The first one was just the evolution of the characters.
That was 2016.
2020, Godfather 2. If Trump tries to do 2024, it'll be Godfather 3. The disaster.
George Hamilton?
Andy Garcia?
A Cuban?
I'm sorry.
It's the Floridian in me.
It's the West Tampa in me.
Okubano?
Sunny's son?
Stop.
I just don't even...
Eli Wallach?
It was the worst.
Michael with the crew cut and what did he try to bring me back in?
One line?
It was a dog.
That will be Trump 2024.
If he's...
He's allowed to do this.
He can't.
I don't even want to tell you what I worry about.
I'm not even telling you what I'm thinking about, what's going to happen regarding what Jack Smith is looking at with the rumors we're hearing about these fake electors.
I mean, this guy's not done.
And it doesn't help when Trump goes on TV and basically mocks his...
I don't know why.
Why does he do this?
Why does he do this?
Why does he make himself a bigger target?
You realize now it's true.
Maybe there is a specialist.
We love this man.
He changed everything.
We remember what it was.
We went through it.
We went through it.
We invested in him.
We lost, some of us, everything.
Friends, family, jobs, position, social media status.
I mean, we, it was.
We paid for this.
And I can say this.
I can say this.
I suffered.
Okay?
Merely, merely for having the unmitigated audacity to opine regarding a political visage that some people just didn't like.
Now, I'm not going to apologize for anybody, but it's true.
It's exactly what happened, but I'm telling you, if he runs again, if he even thinks about it, and puts this country, and his family, and his friends, and the system, and the Republican Party, Godfather 3. Do you understand?
Capisce?
You got it?
Does that make sense to you?
What do you think?
Tell me.
What do you think?
Am I making sense?
Is this clear?
Am I full of prunes, as my mother would say?
