Blowhard Diaz-Balart: how do you change someone willing to throw a brick at a human being's head?

He tries to contain what a blowhard he is, but ultimately he is a litte too predictable with the level of outrage and the choice of words he uses. The discussion this morning was about the use of the word "thugs".. "What else do you call someone willing to (raise 20 decibels here: ) THROW A BRICK AT ANOTHER HUMAN BEING'S HEAD?" He kept saying it, each time with outrage in his voice.. Of course you call them "thugs", he was saying.

Oh I don't know. Sometimes you can just call them a "bad cop". Like-

"What else do you call someone willing to (raise 20 decibels here: ) TWIST SOMEONE'S SPINE APART?"

"What else do you call someone willing to (raise 20 decibels here: ) SHOOT AN UNARMED FLEEING MAN IN THE BACK FIVE TIMES??"

"What else do you call someone willing to (raise 20 decibels here: ) THROW A PREGNANT WOMAN FACE DOWN ON SIDEWALK... BREAK BONES ON AN 87 YEAR OLD WOMAN...SHOOT A MAN ON A BICYCLE FOR CARRYING A CELL PHONE..SUFFOCATE A MAN ON THE SIDEWALKS OF NEW YORK...?"


His guest gave a message of redemption.
