. Now I know a lot of you are sort of anti-Geraldo Rivera, but I am so pro-Geraldo. I'm just totally pro-Geraldo, which is different from agreeing with him. Can we make that distinction? I love the fact that he puts himself out there. I love the fact that he doesn't appear to be afraid of anything. He doesn't seem to be physically afraid of anything. He doesn't seem to be, embarrassment-wise, afraid of anything. Yeah, he took off his shirt at age 70 or whatever it was. He's my role model. Yeah, Geraldo is absolutely my role model. And again, it has nothing to do with whether I agree or disagree with any opinions. But his approach to life is one I think you should all emulate. If you could be as unafraid as he is, your life would look a lot better. It really would.

So let's try to separate whether we hate his opinion on any particular topic, because I disagree with him on this particular one I'm going to talk about. But I just love the fact that he expresses himself with no remorse. Here's what he said in a tweet. Geraldo, he said, whatever your politics, we should all recognize Liz Cheney's selfless courage in standing up to the Trump tidal wave. And Wyoming Republican voters are going to end her congressional career today. I guess this was yesterday. But nothing will wash away the role she played standing up for democracy and the constitution.

Now, I like the fact that he knew he would get absolutely crapped on for that opinion, and he still put it out there. Still put it out there. I love that he shows his work. He gives his reasons, shows his work. That's all I ask of anybody. If we could learn to appreciate somebody who acts the way he does even when we disagree, we would be so far ahead. So far ahead.

All right, but here's what I think about Liz Cheney. I would buy into the selfless courage part. This is Geraldo's characterization. I would buy into it being a selfless act for the country under the following condition: that the way she had acted had presented some kind of balance. That she was open, for example, to an argument on both sides and acted in a way that her rhetoric showed an openness to find out what happened, as opposed to a Captain Ahab mission to kill a white whale, or an orange whale in this case.

At what point did Liz Cheney say, we don't know the motivation of the protesters, but a Harvard study just said that the vast majority of them believed that they were saving the republic, not overthrowing it? Now, if Trump was the primary persuader of the group and the group had been persuaded that they're trying to save the republic, isn't that completely different than the way she has presented it so far? Now, independent of what specific evidence gets presented, if you don't start with the context being right, you're not an honest player.

So I don't know what was happening in Liz Cheney's head. I try to be consistent about saying I don't know what people are thinking. But we can say for sure that her actions did not display any balance. Who would disagree? Did her actions show that she was open to an argument and discovery, or did it look like she had an opinion she was trying to just prove no matter what? So I get Geraldo's point that it takes a lot of courage to go against the mainstream, and she had to know she would
