That's been lost," he told YouTube podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen in an interview that aired Saturday.   The former president added that the majority of Americans find the behavior "deeply troubling."   "It is true that it gets attention. It's true that it's a distraction. But as I'm traveling around the country, as you're traveling around the country, you meet people, they still believe in decency, courtesy, kindness," he said.   (📺: "No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen")   #obama #trump #briantylercohen #politics #cspan Mon, 04 May 2026 21:41:00 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://motube.smithandtech.com https://motube.smithandtech.com/lazy-static/avatars/933c9118-81c8-4e69-a82c-512c3a13a060.jpg https://motube.smithandtech.com/videos/watch/e7bb1876-27ba-40c5-aad5-ee95a55bfcda All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://motube.smithandtech.com/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
