The Victor Armendariz Show | October 3 | Iran, Tariffs & The GOP’s November Problem

So this show, the Victor Armandera show, is about common sense.

It's about logic.

I'm not a sycophant to anyone.

So I'm going to continually remind you because every now and then I get panties in a wad or some banana hammocks in a wad.

I want to be inclusive because, folks, I wouldn't be doing a service to any of you if I came in here and if I was a sycophant like so many other people are.

I'm just not going to do that.

I'm not going to do that.

Politicians do not deserve your undying loyalty.

Let me repeat this because this is also something that gets people upset.

Politicians.

And bureaucrats do not deserve your blinding loyalty because if you stop – if you take your eye off politicians and bureaucrats and you let them believe that they can do whatever they want because you're not going to just – you're going to take your vote and go with them anytime.

You're not going to pay attention.

If they believe that they can use you, then they will abuse you eventually forever.

What is the saying? Power corrupts, absolute power definitely corrupts or absolutely corrupts.

I'm sorry, but that's just the truth with politicians.

I don't care what side of the aisle they're on.

Are there a few good ones? Oh, my goodness.

Yes.

Jim Jordan is an awesome dude.

Ted Cruz, awesome dude.

We've got good people.

Yes, there are.

But there's also a whole – I mean, folks, there's 435 career House politicians.

There's 100 senators.

They're not all great, and I wish they were, but they're not.
