Pablo Torre Finds Out

This (Independent) Senator Has a Warning. Who Will Listen?

Tue, 22 Apr 2025

Description

Angus King, the U.S. Senator from Maine (and former quarterback), is neither a Democrat nor a Republican. So we should listen very closely as he takes PTFO inside what he deems an unprecedented constitutional crisis — from tariffs and mass deportations to trans athletes and DOGE — by way of the ancient Romans, a vegetable slicer and Bill Belichick. And he explains exactly why his colleagues in Congress must stop handing their power to Donald Trump... before it's too late. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

6.654 - 17.403 Angus King

You've got to have people in your circle who are empowered to, and in fact, in my case, required to tell you when you're full of s***.

30.543 - 46.538 Unknown Speaker 1

Do you know this one friend who just comes out of bed in the morning and then doesn't come out of his grin? Who is even in front of the first coffee, shamelessly well-groomed and shines around the world with the morning sun? Terrible. Disgusting. How can you just be so... Restless?

46.638 - 54.546 Unknown Speaker 7

Very simple. Train your sleep and become a morning person. With the Galaxy Watch 7 or the Galaxy Ring and the Samsung Health app.

61.943 - 67.708 Angus King

How are you doing, man? You've had a long day. You've already done about 12 hours on Morning Show. Holy smoke.

68.629 - 78.198 Pablo Torre

Oh, Senator, you know what? The energy I have for you remains, remains at maximum capacity, just to be very clear.

78.218 - 81.021 Angus King

I thought politicians were supposed to be bulls**t artists.

Chapter 8: What is the significance of being an independent senator?

2504.332 - 2516.244 Angus King

That's absolutely right. I was just writing something last night, and I went through this long thing about the role of the Congress, and believe it or not, my last sentence was, you know, just do our jobs.

2517.688 - 2543.046 Pablo Torre

Bill Belichick, I seldom quote him when it comes to constitutional crises, but with you today, Senator, I find myself doing a lot, including reflect upon how I often think of my show as a way, as an excuse to melt some cheese on vegetables for people, to get them nourishment, but to put it inside of this delicious casing. And what I realized is that sometimes

2544.096 - 2547.678 Pablo Torre

You just got to go to the vegetables themselves.

2548.979 - 2561.045 Angus King

Well, now listen, I do want to make a little news here by announcing that if they pick up an edge rusher in free agency, the Washington commanders are going to be in the Super Bowl next year.

2561.205 - 2575.053 Pablo Torre

Oh, God, get him out of here. Can we get the senator? I'm reclaiming my time, Senator. I'm reclaiming my podcast. The Mick Jagger of senators. It's been a pleasure.

2575.793 - 2579.495 Angus King

Pablo, what a pleasure. Great to talk to you. I look forward to getting together again.

2588.378 - 2595.16 Unknown Speaker 4

This has been Pablo Torre Finds Out, a Meadowlark Media production. And I'll talk to you next time.
