RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BRENNAN: “I know the president himself has survived these two attempts on his life. You talk to us about those risks to him. And then we had this killing of Charlie Kirk just a few months ago. Is the present holding himself to the same standard that he is asking of others when it comes to dialing back dangerous rhetoric.”

Paul: “You know everybody knows that the president is famous for his unfiltered social media. But if you take at face value the idea that calling your opponent’s traders and then specifically saying that it warrants the death penalty is reckless inappropriate in a responsible. There are a number of other ways to describe, but it’s not something that is helping the country heal wounds. I think it stir things up and and really I think we can do better.”

BRENNAN: “Well at on homeland security front- I understand you are chair of of that committee and say you have some insight into some of these domestic threats. It’s not just these democratic lawmakers we saw out in the state of Indiana for Republican state senators were targeted by swatting threats amid President Trump’s public pressure on them to read district there’s state. Just a few weeks ago, we did see one of the convicted January six riders, who was then pardoned by President Trump arrested for threatening to kill minority leader Hakeem Jeffries mean. Are we at the point here where it’s not just unfiltered social media posts, but truly dangerous rhetoric?”

Paul: “Well, you know I’ve been on the receiving side of this. Even my father, who’s been retired for some time as a bit on the receiving end of swatting police were called scissors and of our gm home, and the goal is to have someone draw gonna, be killed as a please come in supposedly to rescue someone who’s, not really in need of being rescued. So I think both sides have been doing this and I think the language on treason and traders, both Republicans and Democrats is has said reckless, inappropriate, irresponsible”
