Look, we're at the 21st marking, if you will, of the September 11th attacks.
This was a foreign terrorist attacking our democracy, attacking this country.
We're now, as a nation, battling a threat from within.
Is the threat equal or greater than what we faced after 9 /11?
That's an interesting question.
I have held many elected offices as District Attorney, Attorney General, Senator.
Now Vice President.
And there's an oath that we always take, which is to defend and uphold our Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
We don't compare the two in the oath, but we know they both can exist and we must defend against it.
We're going to break this down in a bit.
There's a concept in psychology known as folie à deux, and it's basically like craziness by two, madness by two.
Folie à deux, it's an actual psychiatric issue, condition, where typically a couple, basically they don't convey psychosis like it's telepathy, but they feed off each other's psychosis where they effectively go mad together.
Because they're bouncing off their delusional ideas between each other.
And there's no check and balance.
And it cascades and spirals on its own.
Folie à deux.
Look it up.
It means folie by pair in French.
It can also be folie à trois.
Folie by three.
It can be folie à quatre.
Madness by four.
It can also be folie à famille.
Family madness.
What we are witnessing here...
If it is not folie à deux, two rampantly delusional individuals making absolutely delusional comparisons, I would argue that it's actually folie à famille.
It's family madness.
And the family that has actually gone bat poop crazy is this political family that has decided its talking point, its new power through it mantra.
It's new Build Back Better.
It's new Flatten the Curve.
It's new Cross State Lines is...
I'm not saying 9-11 is comparable to January 6th, but I'm going to go ahead and compare 9-11 to January 6th.
I don't like using rhetoric like disgusting, shameful.
I don't mind using the evil rhetoric because I think this is actually evil, but disgusting, shameful.
There could be no shame where there's no honor.
And I wanna piece this, break this down.
This is Chuck Todd, by the way.
Chuck Todd, I'm watching this and I'm thinking, where does Chuck Todd, he looks so familiar.
And I was like, I know who Chuck Todd is.
Chuck Todd is Woogie from There's Something About Mary.
Oh, hold on, that's not the part.
Chuck Todd is woogie from There's Something About Mary.
I don't know what to do.
Oh, my God.
I'm not dying, man.
Come on.
This is Woogie.
No, Ted, the bad news I got is about our friend Healy.
I sent my assistant down to his apartment.
Let this sink in.
This is Woogie.
Something about Mary.
A movie that I haven't seen in 15 years.
I wonder if I would find it unfunny and terrible.
That's Woogie.
Let's get back to Chuck Todd.
Chuck Todd is Woogie.
Listen to this.
Folie à deux, folie à famille politique.
Listen to this.
We're at the 21st marking, if you will, of the September 11th attack.
21st marking?
What the hell does that mean?
It's an anniversary.
It's an anniversary of one of the...
I don't know what day could be darker.
It's an anniversary.
Marking, if you will.
What do you say?
If you will, it makes you sound smarter, Woogie?
This was a foreign terrorist.
This was a foreign terrorist attacking our democracy.
It's an interesting way of phrasing it.
A foreign terrorist attacking our democracy.
They were attacking the country.
They've attacked countries which are not democracies.
I wouldn't necessarily call it a foreign terrorist attacking.
Democracy per se.
They were definitely attacking the country.
But he's got to frame it this way so that he can segue it like a political disingenuous hack that he is.
He's got to segue it into the January 6th attack on our democracy.
He's got to.
So he's got to frame 9-11 as a terrorist attack on our democracy.
It was a terrorist attack on the country, on the people.
By extension on the democracy or the republic that is the United States.
But I wouldn't say it was first and foremost an attempt to attack the democracy, the constitutional republic that is the United States.
It was an attack on the American people.
Attacking our democracy.
Attacking this country.
We're now as a nation battling a threat from within.
Oh my.
Look at this guy.
Equal or greater than what we faced after 9-11.
Is the threat equal?
Or greater than what we faced after 9-11.
You know what's acutely missing from those options?
Is the third option.
Nowhere near as great.
And you should be ashamed of yourself for drawing the comparison.
It's like, oh, the guy from The Simpsons.
Kent Brockman.
Would you say it's time for us to panic, doctor, and go crate?
Well, yes, I would, Kent.
Would you say it's...
Equal or greater?
How about nowhere near?
Equal or greater than what we faced after 9-11.
And listen.
That's an interesting question.
That's an interesting question.
Here you got your folie a deux.
Not Chuck Todd.
That is a grotesque comparison.
You should be ashamed of yourself for having made it.
It's a desecration to the memory of the victims of 9-11.
How dare you make such a stupid comparison?
No, no, no, not that.
In our folie a deux here, in our couple spiraling off each other's madness.
It's a good question.
What did you say?
That's an interesting question.
That's an interesting question.
I have held many elected offices as district attorney.
I have many leather-bound books in my office.
Senator, now vice president.
And there's an oath that we always take, which is to defend and uphold our Constitution.
Second Amendment right, not absolute, according to this administration.
Defend our Constitution, and when the Supreme Court renders a decision that you don't like, call them extremists.
Against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
They are now equating MAGA Republicans, January Sixers, to Al-Qaeda-level terrorists.
Just let that sink in to every reasonable person who still has a remotely open mind out there.
How awful this is.
And by the way, this is not a one-off.
You got Hillary Clinton coming out saying the same thing.
You got that guy from D.C. I forget his name now.
Come here.
I'm not saying they're comparable.
I'm just going to compare them.
We don't compare the two in the oath.
We don't compare foreign terrorists and domestic.
But I'm going to equate those who partook in January 6th in as much as it might have been a violent riot.
I'm going to compare them to people who flew planes into the Twin Towers and killed 3,000 Americans on 9-11.
I'm going to go ahead and do it, because I have standards.
I have morality.
I am not whipping up people into a political frenzy, folie affamie.
But we know they both can exist, and we must defend against it.
Look, we're at the 21st...
Wookie.
I forgot to put on slow mode.
And subscriber-only mode.
It's good to see so many bots in the house.
Must mean I'm doing something right.
I guess.
That's what they say, right?
That's what the kids say.
It means you're above the target.
Not members.
Sorry.
Subscribers.
Five minutes.
And let's go 15 seconds.
Slow-mo coming now.
You're going to lose your comments.
If you don't hit send.
Three, two, one.
Fully adieu.
By the way, everybody, I see there's 3,266 people watching here, and we are 3,553 on Rumble.
We will be moving this over to Rumble.
I'd say 30 minutes in.
No dire rush tonight, but we're going to be moving this over to Rumble.
