  Speaker 1: My maternal grandmother. We called her Mama. Used to scold
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: her grandkids whenever we said something cruel with a simple line,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Jesus doesn't like ugly. Donald Trump could have benefited from
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: knowing this lady. Former FBI Director Robert Mueller died over
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the weekend at the age of eighty one. His career
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: spanned war, national security crises, and one of the most
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: politically contentious investigations in modern American history. But when the
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: President learned of Mueller's death, he posted on truth Social
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Robert Mueller just died good. I'm glad he's dead. He
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: can no longer hurt innocent people. That's disappointing, it's cruel,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: and frankly, it's the opposite of what we expect from
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: someone occupying the Oval office. Mueller's life of public service
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: deserves at least a moment of respect. He was a
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Princeton graduate and Marine officer who served in Vietnam, earning
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the Bronze Star and Purple Heart. He later became a

• 1:01
  Speaker 1: job just one week before the September eleventh attacks. Over
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the next decade, he helped transform the Bureau into a
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: modern counterintelligence and intelligence agency. Later, of course, Mueller became
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the special counsel investigating Russian interference in the twenty sixteen election,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: an investigation that put him squarely in Donald Trump's crosshairs.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: And look, Trump didn't like Mueller. That's fine. Most of
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: us have people we strongly disagree with or just don't like.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: But celebrating someone's death that says more about the person
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: speaking than the person who died. Resentment like that doesn't
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: just damage public discourse, it corrodes the person carrying it.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: And that's something Mama understood long before any of us
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: ever heard of Robert Mueller or Donald Trump, because, as
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: she used to say, Jesus doesn't like ugly
