Senator Lindsey Graham's public call for the assassination of Vladimir Putin is discussed as a dangerous breach of international norms and U.S. executive orders. Speculation from the "X22 Report" and social media analysts suggests that Nancy Pelosi's hand gestures during the State of the Union were coded sign language for "wet works" or assassination. The hosts characterize these political leaders as reckless and driven by hubris.
