WEBVTT - Media Desperation

0:00:00.130 --> 0:00:04.390
<v Speaker 1>Okay, one of the reasons why they are pushing this

0:00:04.670 --> 0:00:08.540
<v Speaker 1>massive hoax now on Trump, and I'm going to get

0:00:08.580 --> 0:00:12.119
<v Speaker 1>to this, I promise, in the next segment, is the

0:00:12.220 --> 0:00:18.340
<v Speaker 1>media and the Democrats, there are two massive stories that

0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:22.120
<v Speaker 1>they are desperate to try to bury and just get

0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:25.250
<v Speaker 1>it off the radar. And so what better way to

0:00:25.310 --> 0:00:31.630
<v Speaker 1>do that than to fabricate, manufacture, a so-called scandal or

0:00:31.710 --> 0:00:35.199
<v Speaker 1>hoax involving Trump, but it's got to be something so

0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:38.919
<v Speaker 1>big that everybody is just, you know, walking around like

0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:42.860
<v Speaker 1>a chicken without a head. People are petrified. People are

0:00:42.900 --> 0:00:47.980
<v Speaker 1>losing their minds. People are in absolute panic. So, you know,

0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:53.070
<v Speaker 1>Trump is now allegedly calling for Iran to annihilate and

0:00:53.190 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 1>nuke Los Angeles and San Diego. and sacrifice over 10

0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:02.300
<v Speaker 1>million Americans in a nuclear war, and he thinks it's

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:05.429
<v Speaker 1>a small price to pay. And now the media is

0:01:05.450 --> 0:01:08.390
<v Speaker 1>going wild with this lie, the Democrats are running wild

0:01:08.430 --> 0:01:13.470
<v Speaker 1>with this lie, and it's worked because it's effectively taken

0:01:13.530 --> 0:01:18.000
<v Speaker 1>these two massive stories And nobody is talking about it. Well,

0:01:18.100 --> 0:01:20.700
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to talk about it, I promise, next segment.

0:01:21.140 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I just want to take a few more calls. Eric

0:01:24.060 --> 0:01:27.550
<v Speaker 1>in Plymouth. Thanks for holding, Eric, and welcome.

0:01:29.270 --> 0:01:29.530
<v Speaker 2>Jeff.

0:01:29.850 --> 0:01:30.449
<v Speaker 1>Hi.

0:01:30.950 --> 0:01:32.869
<v Speaker 3>I might be a little late for the conversation, but

0:01:32.910 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 3>have you spoken at all about the Smith-Montz Act this morning?

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.619
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that we, well, we need to restore it because

0:01:41.340 --> 0:01:46.000
<v Speaker 1>this is propaganda. What they're pushing now is propaganda. And

0:01:46.060 --> 0:01:49.230
<v Speaker 1>under the Smith-Munt Act, it would be outlawed. It would

0:01:49.270 --> 0:01:53.930
<v Speaker 1>be illegal. These journalists would be fired. These media outlets

0:01:53.990 --> 0:01:57.070
<v Speaker 1>under Smith-Munt would be literally shuttered. They'd be closed down

0:01:57.550 --> 0:02:00.640
<v Speaker 1>and they would lose their licenses. And now we know

0:02:00.660 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>why Obama rescinded that aspect of the Smith-Muntz Act, because

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:10.010
<v Speaker 1>ever since then, the media has been lying with impunity.

0:02:10.169 --> 0:02:13.790
<v Speaker 1>And now it's gotten to the point that they can't

0:02:13.830 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 1>do this anymore, Eric. They're out of control. But please

0:02:17.260 --> 0:02:17.620
<v Speaker 1>go ahead.

0:02:18.740 --> 0:02:21.040
<v Speaker 3>That's exactly what I wanted to say, Jeff. And the

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.980
<v Speaker 3>one thing about this Trump administration that I am really

0:02:24.060 --> 0:02:27.770
<v Speaker 3>disappointed in is that they didn't go after that specifically.

0:02:27.790 --> 0:02:30.170
<v Speaker 3>The Smith-Montax put it back in its place for what

0:02:30.190 --> 0:02:33.910
<v Speaker 3>it was intended for and shut down this fake news

0:02:34.130 --> 0:02:38.510
<v Speaker 3>media propagandist nightmare. Because I keep talking to people out there,

0:02:39.490 --> 0:02:42.790
<v Speaker 3>and they're terrified of Trump because they get blasted with

0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 3>this stuff. Like you said a few minutes ago, 24-7

0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:49.410
<v Speaker 3>every day. And it's just wrong. There's a lot of

0:02:49.430 --> 0:02:51.810
<v Speaker 3>good news out there. To your point, you would just

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:53.660
<v Speaker 3>make it. So I'm just preaching to the choir now.

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 3>But that's what I wanted to bring up. That's really

0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:56.700
<v Speaker 3>all I get to say.

0:02:56.740 --> 0:02:59.420
<v Speaker 1>Great point. Eric, thank you very much for that call.

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:04.160
<v Speaker 1>To me, the two biggest disappointments in the first half

0:03:05.780 --> 0:03:10.060
<v Speaker 1>of Trump's term has been the Smith-Munt Act and the

0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:16.810
<v Speaker 1>Save America Act. And I know Thune in particular blocked

0:03:16.830 --> 0:03:20.370
<v Speaker 1>Trump on the Save America Act. That was John Thune.

0:03:20.430 --> 0:03:24.640
<v Speaker 1>That was Mitch McConnell. That was the rhinos, that cabal.

0:03:25.580 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 1>And they did everything they could to sabotage Trump. But

0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:32.090
<v Speaker 1>to me, those were the two biggies. We had to

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:38.270
<v Speaker 1>get those passed. And if we did, the midterms, it

0:03:38.310 --> 0:03:41.910
<v Speaker 1>would be night and day. the Republicans would be cruising

0:03:41.990 --> 0:03:47.170
<v Speaker 1>to a massive victory right now in November. Andrew in Marshfield.

0:03:47.410 --> 0:03:49.570
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for holding, Andrew, and welcome.

0:03:51.190 --> 0:03:52.190
<v Speaker 3>Hey, good morning, Jeff.

0:03:52.410 --> 0:03:54.350
<v Speaker 2>Love your show, first-time caller.

0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:55.580
<v Speaker 1>Welcome, welcome, Andrew.

0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Thank you. Hey, I've got a slightly different perspective of this.

0:04:01.900 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 2>I believe Trump jokingly did something say what he said.

0:04:07.660 --> 0:04:11.040
<v Speaker 2>I think it was a little inside childish humor that

0:04:11.060 --> 0:04:16.070
<v Speaker 2>he's famous for, but I think it was purposeful. Today,

0:04:16.170 --> 0:04:20.950
<v Speaker 2>nobody is talking about fuel prices or inflation. The entire

0:04:21.010 --> 0:04:26.010
<v Speaker 2>media is talking about the possibility of California being nuked.

0:04:27.750 --> 0:04:29.029
<v Speaker 2>He just shifted the narrative.

0:04:31.130 --> 0:04:34.050
<v Speaker 1>Oh, so you think this was maybe deliberate on Trump's part?

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:39.340
<v Speaker 2>Trump just took another arrow for the people. He knew

0:04:39.420 --> 0:04:41.140
<v Speaker 2>he'd take a beating on it, but I think it

0:04:41.180 --> 0:04:44.720
<v Speaker 2>was calculated. I think he just shifted the narrative, and

0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:51.630
<v Speaker 2>now all these mainstream media Democrats, they're talking about the

0:04:51.790 --> 0:04:57.419
<v Speaker 2>actual possibility of California being nuked.

0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:01.690
<v Speaker 1>You know, I didn't look at it that way, Andrew.

0:05:02.870 --> 0:05:05.450
<v Speaker 1>The only thing I would say is it's not as

0:05:05.550 --> 0:05:11.830
<v Speaker 1>if Trump has shifted the narrative to something positive for Republicans. It's,

0:05:12.150 --> 0:05:14.660
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's the way the media and the Democrats

0:05:14.700 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 1>are spinning it is he's so unhinged. He's so crazy. OK,

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:25.750
<v Speaker 1>there are two massive stories that the fake news media

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:29.190
<v Speaker 1>is deliberately trying to suppress and sweep under the carpet.

0:05:30.180 --> 0:05:33.800
<v Speaker 1>sweep it under the rug. And when they broke out,

0:05:33.900 --> 0:05:38.219
<v Speaker 1>when these stories broke, forgive me, when these stories broke,

0:05:40.140 --> 0:05:43.820
<v Speaker 1>right away I said, I said it to everybody, not

0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:48.700
<v Speaker 1>on the air, but here, I said, you watch, you watch.

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:53.680
<v Speaker 1>The media now and the Democrats are going to have

0:05:53.700 --> 0:06:01.760
<v Speaker 1>to concoct a fake story Something to distract people so

0:06:01.860 --> 0:06:06.080
<v Speaker 1>this gets blown off the news cycle. Because if this

0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:09.850
<v Speaker 1>story makes the rounds, it is going to bury the

0:06:09.910 --> 0:06:15.450
<v Speaker 1>Democrats in the midterms. Let me take the first one that,

0:06:15.630 --> 0:06:19.599
<v Speaker 1>to me, goes to what's going to happen should the

0:06:19.630 --> 0:06:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Democrats win in November. The Trump White House.

0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:31.940
<v Speaker 1>Has now released documents. It's all there in writing. There

0:06:31.980 --> 0:06:37.750
<v Speaker 1>is no dispute about the activities of Joe Biden, and

0:06:37.810 --> 0:06:43.450
<v Speaker 1>in particular, Joe Biden's Department of Justice and Joe Biden's FBI.

0:06:44.990 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 1>And especially then Attorney General Merrick Garland and then FBI

0:06:54.000 --> 0:07:00.979
<v Speaker 1>Director Chris Wray. According now to the smoking gun documents,

0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:04.020
<v Speaker 1>and there's no getting around it. And that's why the

0:07:04.060 --> 0:07:07.930
<v Speaker 1>media now needs a distraction. And that's why they're pushing

0:07:07.970 --> 0:07:13.190
<v Speaker 1>this Iran, San Diego, Los Angeles nuke hoax. He wants

0:07:13.210 --> 0:07:20.770
<v Speaker 1>to nuke us. My God, he's crazy. Under Joe Biden,

0:07:22.510 --> 0:07:31.670
<v Speaker 1>for several years, Melania Trump's travel was being tracked and

0:07:31.750 --> 0:07:39.500
<v Speaker 1>monitored by the FBI. Barron Trump's travel was being tracked

0:07:39.710 --> 0:07:46.100
<v Speaker 1>and monitored by the FBI. In other words, the former

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:48.440
<v Speaker 1>first lady, now the current, but at the time, the

0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:52.360
<v Speaker 1>former first lady of the United States and Trump's youngest son,

0:07:53.690 --> 0:08:04.660
<v Speaker 1>were being spied on by the FBI. Furthermore, furthermore, they

0:08:04.700 --> 0:08:09.500
<v Speaker 1>had wiretapped the phone of Trump's current chief of staff,

0:08:09.780 --> 0:08:17.510
<v Speaker 1>Susie Wiles, who at the time, this took place throughout 2022, 2023.

0:08:17.510 --> 0:08:22.750
<v Speaker 1>Susie Wiles at the time was heading Trump's political operation.

0:08:23.780 --> 0:08:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Trump was going to run again. Trump was going to

0:08:26.660 --> 0:08:29.700
<v Speaker 1>run and win the Republican primary. He was then going

0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.900
<v Speaker 1>to run to run in the general election. And he

0:08:32.940 --> 0:08:37.380
<v Speaker 1>was getting his political team and political organization together. And

0:08:37.420 --> 0:08:40.610
<v Speaker 1>he had tapped Susie Wiles to be the person that

0:08:40.730 --> 0:08:46.429
<v Speaker 1>oversaw this. Hence why she became chief of staff. They

0:08:46.530 --> 0:08:53.690
<v Speaker 1>were wiretapping her phone. They were listening in on every

0:08:53.830 --> 0:09:00.830
<v Speaker 1>conversation Susie Wiles was having. They were listening in on

0:09:00.870 --> 0:09:08.099
<v Speaker 1>her phone calls with 12 of Trump's lawyers, with Trump himself,

0:09:09.900 --> 0:09:17.540
<v Speaker 1>with top political aides and campaign strategists and advisors. In

0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:24.040
<v Speaker 1>other words... They were listening in on Trump's entire activities

0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:32.110
<v Speaker 1>and communications as he was planning a political comeback. And

0:09:32.140 --> 0:09:37.189
<v Speaker 1>it was all done under the pretext of Jack Smith.

0:09:37.410 --> 0:09:40.290
<v Speaker 1>If you remember, he was just recently up on Capitol Hill.

0:09:40.309 --> 0:09:45.130
<v Speaker 1>He got a grilling. Jack Smith, who was going after Trump,

0:09:46.100 --> 0:09:52.820
<v Speaker 1>For allegedly withholding and then apparently destroying classified documents which

0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:57.780
<v Speaker 1>justified the raid on Mar-a-Lago. And so they used the

0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:03.979
<v Speaker 1>classified documents justification to spy on Trump, to spy on

0:10:04.020 --> 0:10:07.929
<v Speaker 1>the First Lady, to spy on Trump's child, Barron, to

0:10:07.990 --> 0:10:12.430
<v Speaker 1>spy on Susie Wiles, and to spy on everybody within

0:10:12.490 --> 0:10:17.470
<v Speaker 1>Trump's orbit. They heard every freaking conversation that they had,

0:10:17.929 --> 0:10:22.440
<v Speaker 1>every single one of them. Now, they did this for

0:10:22.500 --> 0:10:29.140
<v Speaker 1>several reasons. Number one, they were looking for dirt on

0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:33.410
<v Speaker 1>Trump and they were looking to time the Mar-a-Lago raid,

0:10:34.450 --> 0:10:38.530
<v Speaker 1>which eventually they did in August of 2022. They did

0:10:38.590 --> 0:10:43.010
<v Speaker 1>not want Trump or Melania to be there because they

0:10:43.050 --> 0:10:46.320
<v Speaker 1>were saying openly, we're going to go into his office,

0:10:46.380 --> 0:10:48.500
<v Speaker 1>we're going to go into their bedrooms, we're going to

0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:52.929
<v Speaker 1>go everywhere. And so they didn't want a potential shootout

0:10:53.390 --> 0:10:56.400
<v Speaker 1>with the Secret Service there to protect the president. So

0:10:56.440 --> 0:11:01.140
<v Speaker 1>they were waiting for them to be gone from Mar-a-Lago

0:11:01.620 --> 0:11:07.070
<v Speaker 1>so they could make their move. The second reason, and

0:11:07.110 --> 0:11:10.670
<v Speaker 1>this is a clear abuse of power, I can't tell

0:11:10.710 --> 0:11:15.550
<v Speaker 1>you how criminal and how many laws they broke, was

0:11:16.270 --> 0:11:19.930
<v Speaker 1>they were listening in on the president, on his chief

0:11:19.970 --> 0:11:25.210
<v Speaker 1>of staff, on his aides, on his advisors, on his lawyers,

0:11:25.870 --> 0:11:27.910
<v Speaker 1>so they knew exactly what he was saying with his

0:11:27.950 --> 0:11:32.040
<v Speaker 1>lawyers and what his lawyers were telling him. This is

0:11:32.140 --> 0:11:40.060
<v Speaker 1>Watergate all over again. Biden had his political enemies wiretapped.

0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:46.980
<v Speaker 1>And they were spying and surveilling illegally the President Trump

0:11:47.620 --> 0:11:55.230
<v Speaker 1>and his family and his entire political team. And they

0:11:55.260 --> 0:12:00.190
<v Speaker 1>were caught red-handed because the documents are there. In fact,

0:12:00.450 --> 0:12:04.530
<v Speaker 1>it got so bad that there were certain special agents

0:12:04.710 --> 0:12:08.730
<v Speaker 1>at the Bureau, at the FBI, whose names have been redacted,

0:12:09.990 --> 0:12:13.900
<v Speaker 1>but they were complaining to their superiors. If you want,

0:12:13.940 --> 0:12:18.300
<v Speaker 1>I can read you directly what they said. They said,

0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:23.820
<v Speaker 1>this is ridiculous. This is illegal. This smacks of complete

0:12:23.900 --> 0:12:29.480
<v Speaker 1>and utter political interference. Another FBI agent said, we have

0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:34.550
<v Speaker 1>to keep this hush hush. If this gets out, that

0:12:34.590 --> 0:12:38.450
<v Speaker 1>we are now surveilling and wiretapping the president, his chief

0:12:38.510 --> 0:12:42.890
<v Speaker 1>of staff, his entire family and inner political circle, and

0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:47.120
<v Speaker 1>this breaks before the midterm elections in 2022, it will

0:12:47.179 --> 0:12:51.700
<v Speaker 1>be a massive political scandal. It will burn the Biden

0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:55.220
<v Speaker 1>White House and burn the Biden FBI and the DOJ.

0:12:56.900 --> 0:13:00.640
<v Speaker 1>So many of the FBI agents that were conducting this

0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.820
<v Speaker 1>knew what they were doing was a grotesque abuse of

0:13:04.900 --> 0:13:11.100
<v Speaker 1>power and that it was blatantly illegal. Now, remember, this

0:13:11.220 --> 0:13:15.730
<v Speaker 1>is what brought down Richard Nixon. This is what was

0:13:15.830 --> 0:13:20.390
<v Speaker 1>so criminal that he was wiretapping the DNC at the

0:13:20.450 --> 0:13:26.750
<v Speaker 1>Watergate Hotel and thereby spying on his political enemies. surveilling

0:13:26.790 --> 0:13:30.620
<v Speaker 1>his political enemies. Now, just so that you know about Nixon,

0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:35.980
<v Speaker 1>he never ordered the break-in or the wiretapping. It was

0:13:36.059 --> 0:13:38.939
<v Speaker 1>people under him who did it. He just covered it

0:13:39.110 --> 0:13:42.150
<v Speaker 1>up once he found out about it because some of

0:13:42.190 --> 0:13:44.050
<v Speaker 1>his top people were involved and he didn't want to

0:13:44.090 --> 0:13:48.190
<v Speaker 1>lose them. And so, you know, hence the expression, the

0:13:48.230 --> 0:13:51.370
<v Speaker 1>cover-up is worse than the crime. That's where that expression

0:13:51.429 --> 0:13:58.329
<v Speaker 1>comes from. Well, they did Nixon one-up. Biden ordered Merrick

0:13:58.370 --> 0:14:02.010
<v Speaker 1>Garland to spy on Trump and his family and his

0:14:02.070 --> 0:14:08.460
<v Speaker 1>inner circle. He ordered Christopher Wray to spy on President

0:14:08.500 --> 0:14:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Trump and his family and his inner circle. In fact,

0:14:12.500 --> 0:14:17.100
<v Speaker 1>there's a memo in which Christopher Wray sends to Merrick

0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:20.100
<v Speaker 1>Garland and he says, I'm giving you the green light.

0:14:21.430 --> 0:14:27.850
<v Speaker 1>monitor and listen and wiretap all of their communications. And

0:14:27.870 --> 0:14:30.810
<v Speaker 1>he says, but just be careful, meaning don't get caught.

0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:40.520
<v Speaker 1>And it's signed CW, Christopher Wray. Now, I know many

0:14:40.540 --> 0:14:45.430
<v Speaker 1>of you are going to say, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, we

0:14:45.490 --> 0:14:49.710
<v Speaker 1>know this already. We were with you during the Biden years.

0:14:50.490 --> 0:14:53.850
<v Speaker 1>And you were breaking stories and reporting on this. Yes.

0:14:55.120 --> 0:15:05.580
<v Speaker 1>But what's different now is that it's in writing. It's

0:15:05.660 --> 0:15:11.170
<v Speaker 1>in documents. It's in memos. It's in emails. There's no

0:15:11.210 --> 0:15:15.050
<v Speaker 1>getting around it. They were so stupid and sloppy and

0:15:15.090 --> 0:15:19.580
<v Speaker 1>reckless and arrogant, thinking they'd never get caught, that they

0:15:19.620 --> 0:15:30.100
<v Speaker 1>put it all down on paper. Biden and the Democrats,

0:15:31.820 --> 0:15:35.970
<v Speaker 1>in particular, his Department of Justice, his FBI. You want

0:15:35.990 --> 0:15:39.010
<v Speaker 1>to talk about a no kings? You know, they're going

0:15:39.070 --> 0:15:41.550
<v Speaker 1>on about, you know, Trump is a king. What the

0:15:41.590 --> 0:15:52.210
<v Speaker 1>hell was Biden? That was a dictatorship. Okay, so you

0:15:52.270 --> 0:15:57.229
<v Speaker 1>have now these smoking gun documents that have been released

0:15:57.450 --> 0:16:04.900
<v Speaker 1>by the White House in which they are wiretapping Susie Wiles' phone,

0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:10.020
<v Speaker 1>and she's talking to everybody in the Trump universe. They

0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:15.540
<v Speaker 1>are tracking and monitoring Melania Trump, Barron Trump, with their travels.

0:16:16.500 --> 0:16:20.420
<v Speaker 1>They're listening in on every conversation between Susie Wiles and

0:16:20.620 --> 0:16:25.880
<v Speaker 1>then former President Trump, now current President Trump, his lawyers,

0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:31.420
<v Speaker 1>all of his top aides, all of his top political advisors. Now,

0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:36.240
<v Speaker 1>they ultimately carry out the raid on August 8, 2022.

0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:39.520
<v Speaker 1>They raid Mar-a-Lago, as all of you know. They search

0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:44.340
<v Speaker 1>Trump's office. They search both of the first couple's bedrooms.

0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:51.570
<v Speaker 1>They don't find anything. Yet, even after they did the

0:16:51.670 --> 0:17:01.840
<v Speaker 1>raid at Mar-a-Lago, they continue to wiretap and surveil Susie Wiles'

0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:05.800
<v Speaker 1>cell phone. And this goes on way into 2023. So

0:17:05.820 --> 0:17:14.040
<v Speaker 1>way into 2023. 2023. And they even were listening in

0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:19.520
<v Speaker 1>on calls that she was making with journalists, not just advisors,

0:17:19.580 --> 0:17:23.360
<v Speaker 1>campaign aides, the two dozen lawyers that Trump was talking

0:17:23.420 --> 0:17:26.379
<v Speaker 1>to because he was under tremendous pressure. They wanted to

0:17:26.420 --> 0:17:29.030
<v Speaker 1>put him in jail. So they knew what his defense

0:17:29.070 --> 0:17:34.010
<v Speaker 1>strategy was. They knew what his political strategy was. They

0:17:34.030 --> 0:17:36.930
<v Speaker 1>knew what he and his people were thinking in their

0:17:36.970 --> 0:17:43.950
<v Speaker 1>most intimate conversations. They even knew which journalists they were

0:17:43.990 --> 0:17:47.990
<v Speaker 1>talking to and what they were telling these journalists or

0:17:48.030 --> 0:17:55.140
<v Speaker 1>what these journalists were telling them. Now, if this gets out,

0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.260
<v Speaker 1>the New York Post, for example, has reported on this,

0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:02.900
<v Speaker 1>but other newspapers have reported on this. But if this

0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:09.780
<v Speaker 1>really becomes front and center, the Democrats are in a

0:18:09.900 --> 0:18:14.010
<v Speaker 1>whole lot of trouble. This is Watergate. In fact, I'm

0:18:14.050 --> 0:18:17.930
<v Speaker 1>telling you, it's worse than Watergate. This drags in Biden.

0:18:18.290 --> 0:18:21.900
<v Speaker 1>This drags in Christopher Wray. This drags in Merrick Garland.

0:18:22.300 --> 0:18:25.739
<v Speaker 1>This drags in the corrupt FBI. This drags in the

0:18:25.820 --> 0:18:29.380
<v Speaker 1>media because they were covering up for all of these

0:18:29.460 --> 0:18:34.040
<v Speaker 1>crimes and abuses of power. And some of the very

0:18:34.140 --> 0:18:37.879
<v Speaker 1>same people, some of them will actually be elected to

0:18:37.940 --> 0:18:43.119
<v Speaker 1>Congress that were in the Biden regime. And of course,

0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:46.540
<v Speaker 1>Trump is going to ask the obvious question. You want

0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:50.300
<v Speaker 1>them running Congress now? After all of the abuses that

0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:55.240
<v Speaker 1>they were just caught exposed doing when Biden was in power?

0:18:56.619 --> 0:19:01.419
<v Speaker 1>People should be in jail over this. Now, this is

0:19:01.500 --> 0:19:06.919
<v Speaker 1>what I find. I just find it incredible. Because again,

0:19:07.220 --> 0:19:13.840
<v Speaker 1>no arrests have been made. And so... This is what

0:19:14.060 --> 0:19:19.179
<v Speaker 1>White House spokesperson Lauren Biss, I hope I'm pronouncing her

0:19:19.220 --> 0:19:24.399
<v Speaker 1>last name correctly, B-I-S, Lauren Biss. So after all of

0:19:24.460 --> 0:19:28.050
<v Speaker 1>this has come out, all these documents, okay, as I said,

0:19:28.109 --> 0:19:32.590
<v Speaker 1>these smoking guns, the White House releases a statement, and

0:19:32.609 --> 0:19:41.189
<v Speaker 1>this is her, quote, Jack Smith's surveillance operation was a

0:19:41.270 --> 0:19:47.350
<v Speaker 1>disgraceful abuse of government power. She goes on to say,

0:19:49.030 --> 0:19:56.230
<v Speaker 1>spying on political opponents is weaponization of law enforcement, plain

0:19:56.390 --> 0:20:05.139
<v Speaker 1>and simple. Those responsible must be held accountable, unquote. I

0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:08.740
<v Speaker 1>agree with every word. I agree, as I like to say,

0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:14.790
<v Speaker 1>not a hundred, but a thousand percent. But you're not

0:20:14.950 --> 0:20:20.070
<v Speaker 1>in the political wilderness anymore. You're not in exile in

0:20:20.130 --> 0:20:27.170
<v Speaker 1>Mar-a-Lago circa 2022, 2023, or even 2024 during the election campaign,

0:20:28.330 --> 0:20:32.520
<v Speaker 1>where you're still out of power as they were spying

0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:39.270
<v Speaker 1>on you. You're now in power. You have the White House.

0:20:40.130 --> 0:20:43.910
<v Speaker 1>You have the FBI. You have the Department of Justice.

0:20:44.710 --> 0:20:48.610
<v Speaker 1>You've got Kash Patel as the FBI director. You've got

0:20:48.650 --> 0:20:53.879
<v Speaker 1>Todd Blanch as your attorney general. You've got countless U.S.

0:20:53.950 --> 0:21:04.659
<v Speaker 1>attorneys at your disposal. Why aren't charges being leveled? Why

0:21:04.800 --> 0:21:11.580
<v Speaker 1>aren't people being put in handcuffs? Why aren't there indictments

0:21:11.660 --> 0:21:18.110
<v Speaker 1>being issued? That, to me, is the question. You know,

0:21:18.130 --> 0:21:22.350
<v Speaker 1>if you want, I can repeat her statement. You know,

0:21:22.590 --> 0:21:27.430
<v Speaker 1>Jack Smith's surveillance operation, really, it was a spying operation, okay,

0:21:28.310 --> 0:21:32.190
<v Speaker 1>was a disgraceful abuse of government power. That's right. It

0:21:32.250 --> 0:21:36.560
<v Speaker 1>was criminal and it was illegal. So why isn't Jack

0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:41.100
<v Speaker 1>Smith in handcuffs to start? She goes on to say

0:21:41.220 --> 0:21:45.190
<v Speaker 1>spying on political opponents is weaponization of law enforcement, plain

0:21:45.230 --> 0:21:49.230
<v Speaker 1>and simple. Those responsible must be held accountable. So hold

0:21:49.250 --> 0:21:53.930
<v Speaker 1>them accountable. Who's stopping you? You see, this is what

0:21:53.970 --> 0:21:59.179
<v Speaker 1>I don't get. I understand when you're on the outside.

0:22:00.930 --> 0:22:03.190
<v Speaker 1>And they stole an election from you, as they did

0:22:03.230 --> 0:22:07.240
<v Speaker 1>in 2020. And now they're openly not just persecuting you,

0:22:07.820 --> 0:22:12.580
<v Speaker 1>but they're spying on you, tapping your phones, listening in

0:22:12.660 --> 0:22:15.760
<v Speaker 1>on all of your conversations, because they're out to put

0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:20.240
<v Speaker 1>you in jail for over 500 years on nothing. On,

0:22:20.810 --> 0:22:26.190
<v Speaker 1>pardon the pun, trumped up charges, made up crimes. But

0:22:26.290 --> 0:22:31.760
<v Speaker 1>now you won. And now you have power. So why

0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:35.050
<v Speaker 1>aren't you holding them responsible? Why aren't you holding them accountable?

0:22:36.090 --> 0:22:41.310
<v Speaker 1>That to me is the $ 64, 000 question. Now, the larger

0:22:41.369 --> 0:22:48.050
<v Speaker 1>point is if this story got the coverage that it

0:22:48.109 --> 0:22:54.270
<v Speaker 1>truly deserves, Watergate was 24 hours a day, seven days

0:22:54.310 --> 0:23:03.000
<v Speaker 1>a week. It completely paralyzed Nixon's presidency. It just consumed

0:23:03.040 --> 0:23:08.020
<v Speaker 1>his presidency. And to this day, the media goes on

0:23:08.640 --> 0:23:12.920
<v Speaker 1>how Nixon is this great crook and this great criminal.

0:23:14.210 --> 0:23:16.490
<v Speaker 1>And it's one of the finest acts of the media,

0:23:16.910 --> 0:23:20.310
<v Speaker 1>you know, through the Washington Post and those frauds, Woodward

0:23:20.350 --> 0:23:23.910
<v Speaker 1>and Bernstein, that they brought the president down. Well, not

0:23:23.930 --> 0:23:29.040
<v Speaker 1>to repeat myself, Nixon did not order the break-in at Watergate.

0:23:29.859 --> 0:23:33.280
<v Speaker 1>He only learned about it afterwards and then participated in

0:23:33.300 --> 0:23:36.740
<v Speaker 1>a cover-up because some of his top people were involved

0:23:36.780 --> 0:23:40.760
<v Speaker 1>and he didn't want to lose his top people. Okay? But,

0:23:40.900 --> 0:23:45.900
<v Speaker 1>you know, Halderman and Ehrlichman in particular. This, this came

0:23:46.010 --> 0:23:50.330
<v Speaker 1>straight from Biden. This came straight from Merrick Garland. It

0:23:50.369 --> 0:23:57.550
<v Speaker 1>came straight from Christopher Wray. We have the memos. We

0:23:57.630 --> 0:24:04.810
<v Speaker 1>have the documents. They're okaying, they're green-lighting the spying and

0:24:04.850 --> 0:24:09.590
<v Speaker 1>the wiretapping and the monitoring and the tracking. The First

0:24:09.710 --> 0:24:15.719
<v Speaker 1>Lady was being followed nonstop. The son, Barron, what the

0:24:15.760 --> 0:24:17.560
<v Speaker 1>hell he has to do with anything, I don't know,

0:24:17.940 --> 0:24:25.190
<v Speaker 1>he was being followed by the FBI nonstop. They heard

0:24:25.290 --> 0:24:29.820
<v Speaker 1>almost every conversation Trump made. And by the way, isn't

0:24:29.920 --> 0:24:35.379
<v Speaker 1>attorney-client privilege supposed to be confidential? Since when does the

0:24:35.420 --> 0:24:37.859
<v Speaker 1>government have the right to listen in? And this is

0:24:37.900 --> 0:24:40.440
<v Speaker 1>a former president of the United States we're talking about.

0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:44.540
<v Speaker 1>And they're listening in on every conversation you're having with

0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:48.669
<v Speaker 1>your lawyers? So they'll know what you're going to argue

0:24:48.830 --> 0:24:53.360
<v Speaker 1>before you even argue it? And they're going to know

0:24:53.400 --> 0:24:58.200
<v Speaker 1>your political strategy or your political intentions before even you

0:24:58.240 --> 0:25:00.419
<v Speaker 1>know it, because they're listening in as you're talking to

0:25:00.460 --> 0:25:06.250
<v Speaker 1>your advisors and your aides. And by the way, another

0:25:06.330 --> 0:25:09.209
<v Speaker 1>reason for this, and it's because it's what they do

0:25:09.270 --> 0:25:14.820
<v Speaker 1>in authoritarian countries. Kompromat, as the Russians say. The compromise.

0:25:16.900 --> 0:25:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Is Trump having an affair? Or is somebody close to

0:25:20.080 --> 0:25:23.930
<v Speaker 1>Trump having an affair? Are they doing drugs? Is there

0:25:23.950 --> 0:25:27.369
<v Speaker 1>something illegal? Is there something illicit? Is there anything that

0:25:27.450 --> 0:25:30.409
<v Speaker 1>we can get that we can use to blackmail these people?

0:25:32.880 --> 0:25:38.960
<v Speaker 1>That's another reason for eavesdropping. So they're doing all of this. Now,

0:25:39.400 --> 0:25:42.600
<v Speaker 1>if this was good enough, and by the way, Nixon

0:25:42.619 --> 0:25:45.820
<v Speaker 1>didn't do any half of what these people did. Okay?

0:25:46.520 --> 0:25:49.140
<v Speaker 1>If it was good enough to bring down Richard Nixon...

0:25:49.630 --> 0:25:51.609
<v Speaker 1>And to this day, the media and the left and

0:25:51.630 --> 0:25:55.730
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats celebrate what they did to Nixon. Then you

0:25:55.770 --> 0:25:58.630
<v Speaker 1>tell me, how the hell is Joe Biden not going

0:25:58.650 --> 0:26:03.320
<v Speaker 1>to jail? Or Merrick Garland? Or Christopher Wray? I can

0:26:03.359 --> 0:26:06.480
<v Speaker 1>run down the whole list. You see what this would

0:26:06.500 --> 0:26:10.260
<v Speaker 1>do to the Democrats heading into the midterms. It would

0:26:10.340 --> 0:26:16.590
<v Speaker 1>destroy them. And it would remind everybody of just how

0:26:16.970 --> 0:26:24.140
<v Speaker 1>evil and corrupt and frankly authoritarian and dictatorial, how power

0:26:24.200 --> 0:26:32.290
<v Speaker 1>hungry the Democrats are and especially were under Joey. That's

0:26:32.390 --> 0:26:36.840
<v Speaker 1>why they needed to manufacture some kind of a hoax

0:26:37.640 --> 0:26:42.340
<v Speaker 1>because this baby broke over the weekend. So they knew

0:26:42.420 --> 0:26:49.940
<v Speaker 1>if this story has legs, you can kiss the midterms goodbye.

0:26:53.080 --> 0:26:57.510
<v Speaker 1>And so this is why they had to come up

0:26:57.570 --> 0:27:03.790
<v Speaker 1>with this phony baloney story that Trump wants Iran to

0:27:03.869 --> 0:27:13.609
<v Speaker 1>nuke Los Angeles and San Diego. 617-266-6868 is the number. Okay,

0:27:13.630 --> 0:27:17.850
<v Speaker 1>we're just waiting for Grace to call in or to

0:27:17.890 --> 0:27:20.449
<v Speaker 1>get to reach her because she's scheduled to be on

0:27:20.470 --> 0:27:23.460
<v Speaker 1>at 9 o'clock. So as soon as we make contact

0:27:23.500 --> 0:27:25.280
<v Speaker 1>with Grace, we're going to put her up on the air.

0:27:25.800 --> 0:27:30.620
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to Chris in Gloucester. Thanks for holding, Chris,

0:27:31.050 --> 0:27:31.510
<v Speaker 1>and welcome.

0:27:32.859 --> 0:27:33.840
<v Speaker 2>But there's nothing to it.

0:27:33.910 --> 0:27:36.260
<v Speaker 4>Nothing will come out of this story because a lot

0:27:36.280 --> 0:27:37.280
<v Speaker 4>of it's not true.

0:27:37.359 --> 0:27:38.660
<v Speaker 3>Thanks for taking my call.

0:27:39.740 --> 0:27:43.619
<v Speaker 1>It is true. It's been reported. It's been well documented.

0:27:44.200 --> 0:27:47.760
<v Speaker 1>You just don't like the truth. That's number one. Number two,

0:27:48.760 --> 0:27:52.060
<v Speaker 1>the last time you got on the air, you called

0:27:52.400 --> 0:27:56.700
<v Speaker 1>for Trump supporters to be murdered. You made fun of

0:27:56.830 --> 0:28:00.290
<v Speaker 1>Ashley Babbitt for being shot and saying her crime was

0:28:00.310 --> 0:28:03.310
<v Speaker 1>she was stupid and she deserved it. So I want

0:28:03.350 --> 0:28:05.109
<v Speaker 1>you to know, because I'm telling you to your face,

0:28:06.030 --> 0:28:11.480
<v Speaker 1>you're a murderous communist scumbag. And it's people like you

0:28:11.900 --> 0:28:15.300
<v Speaker 1>that are going to destroy this country. You're a pathetic

0:28:15.600 --> 0:28:21.250
<v Speaker 1>Democrat hack. And that's why you're Chris the Commie. Have

0:28:21.290 --> 0:28:27.440
<v Speaker 1>a nice day. Grace Vuoto, we've made contact with Dr. Grace,

0:28:27.540 --> 0:28:32.159
<v Speaker 1>putting liberals in their place. Full disclosure, you better believe it,

0:28:32.230 --> 0:28:37.210
<v Speaker 1>she's my wife and I married way up. Grace, how

0:28:37.609 --> 0:28:38.150
<v Speaker 1>are you?

0:28:38.170 --> 0:28:42.210
<v Speaker 4>I am very well, Jeff. Thank you so much for

0:28:42.250 --> 0:28:44.880
<v Speaker 4>having me on. And I couldn't help but think, as

0:28:44.940 --> 0:28:47.720
<v Speaker 4>I heard you this morning, you know, Jeff, your job

0:28:47.800 --> 0:28:53.230
<v Speaker 4>is recession-proof. Cleaning up the liberal bull. There's a whole

0:28:53.290 --> 0:28:54.490
<v Speaker 4>lot of load every day.

0:28:54.520 --> 0:28:59.740
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you're in the right business. You see what

0:28:59.760 --> 0:29:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I have on my shoulders every day? Now, just for

0:29:04.480 --> 0:29:07.650
<v Speaker 1>the audience, you came back, I believe it was from

0:29:07.690 --> 0:29:10.930
<v Speaker 1>a dance class last night. And you were nice. You

0:29:10.970 --> 0:29:13.850
<v Speaker 1>were relaxed. We had a wonderful dinner. You went to

0:29:13.890 --> 0:29:14.970
<v Speaker 1>your dance class.

0:29:14.990 --> 0:29:15.170
<v Speaker 2>Yes.

0:29:15.870 --> 0:29:19.370
<v Speaker 1>Looking to settle into the evening and you come home

0:29:19.510 --> 0:29:22.150
<v Speaker 1>and you see me in my man cave you know

0:29:23.010 --> 0:29:26.590
<v Speaker 1>in my office show prepping and what did you see

0:29:26.690 --> 0:29:29.170
<v Speaker 1>what did you hear could you just tell the audience.

0:29:29.950 --> 0:29:32.990
<v Speaker 4>Oh I came home on cloud nine happy as can

0:29:33.030 --> 0:29:37.370
<v Speaker 4>be it was a great day and you Jeff you

0:29:37.450 --> 0:29:41.780
<v Speaker 4>were just livid I mean, you were tearing into the

0:29:41.840 --> 0:29:45.460
<v Speaker 4>media for about 15 minutes. And, you know, I took

0:29:45.500 --> 0:29:48.520
<v Speaker 4>your mom's advice, the best advice she ever gave me

0:29:48.580 --> 0:29:53.000
<v Speaker 4>before we got married. When Jeff is upset, say nothing.

0:29:53.180 --> 0:29:54.310
<v Speaker 1>And that's what I did.

0:29:55.170 --> 0:29:57.310
<v Speaker 4>I just said, mm-hmm, yeah, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

0:29:59.560 --> 0:30:02.960
<v Speaker 1>So I was spitting mad about what they were doing

0:30:02.980 --> 0:30:05.940
<v Speaker 1>to Trump with this hoax that he wants to nuke L.A.

0:30:06.000 --> 0:30:09.610
<v Speaker 1>and San Diego. So just to show you that my

0:30:09.660 --> 0:30:12.770
<v Speaker 1>poor wife is listening to me. I'm pounding the table

0:30:12.810 --> 0:30:15.130
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, this has got to stop. This is

0:30:15.370 --> 0:30:18.030
<v Speaker 1>they're going to take us to civil war if this continues.

0:30:18.410 --> 0:30:21.670
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, so I want to apologize, sweetie, because, you know,

0:30:21.690 --> 0:30:23.250
<v Speaker 1>I was a little bit of a hothead last night.

0:30:23.730 --> 0:30:27.280
<v Speaker 1>But anyway. But I managed to cool off. I'm still

0:30:27.300 --> 0:30:29.040
<v Speaker 1>a little bit upset, but, you know, I've cooled off

0:30:29.060 --> 0:30:32.160
<v Speaker 1>from last night. What do you make of this story?

0:30:32.180 --> 0:30:39.350
<v Speaker 1>ABC News, CNN, MSNOW, NBC, it doesn't stop. Gavin Newsom

0:30:39.380 --> 0:30:43.650
<v Speaker 1>now says it's dangerous. Trump is deranged. He wants to

0:30:43.750 --> 0:30:47.810
<v Speaker 1>murder over 10 million Americans in a war with Iran,

0:30:47.890 --> 0:30:50.709
<v Speaker 1>and he thinks it's a small price to pay. The

0:30:50.770 --> 0:30:54.630
<v Speaker 1>mayor of L.A. says that Trump now wants to obliterate

0:30:55.060 --> 0:31:00.560
<v Speaker 1>two major California cities because he thinks it's nothing in

0:31:00.660 --> 0:31:05.660
<v Speaker 1>order to defeat Iran. They are terrorizing Democrats. They are

0:31:05.800 --> 0:31:10.360
<v Speaker 1>fear mongering. This is hysteria on a level I haven't

0:31:10.420 --> 0:31:12.870
<v Speaker 1>seen since COVID. What say you?

0:31:14.450 --> 0:31:16.580
<v Speaker 4>Well, Jeff, I was reflecting on a lot of what

0:31:16.600 --> 0:31:21.080
<v Speaker 4>you were saying. And look, one of the president's great achievements,

0:31:21.120 --> 0:31:24.020
<v Speaker 4>which historians are going to write about in the future,

0:31:24.680 --> 0:31:28.340
<v Speaker 4>is that he has exposed the fact that we live

0:31:28.380 --> 0:31:31.479
<v Speaker 4>in an age of fake news. This word that he coined,

0:31:31.620 --> 0:31:35.620
<v Speaker 4>fake news, this is now common currency. And if you

0:31:35.640 --> 0:31:39.280
<v Speaker 4>think about it, in 2016, when he burst onto the scene,

0:31:40.060 --> 0:31:46.790
<v Speaker 4>that was CNN's most watched year. And by 2026, their

0:31:46.870 --> 0:31:52.860
<v Speaker 4>ratings have collapsed by over 50%. MSNBC had a similar

0:31:53.060 --> 0:31:56.880
<v Speaker 4>massive ratings drop. And in their key demo of adults

0:31:56.960 --> 0:32:01.980
<v Speaker 4>between 25 and 54, their ratings since 2016 has declined

0:32:02.040 --> 0:32:08.330
<v Speaker 4>by 59%. So Trump has brilliantly over and over again

0:32:08.570 --> 0:32:12.250
<v Speaker 4>exposed the fact that they peddle in lies and they

0:32:12.350 --> 0:32:16.080
<v Speaker 4>traffic in smears. And so when you're very upset about

0:32:16.120 --> 0:32:19.220
<v Speaker 4>this last night, I understand that you're upset, but this

0:32:19.320 --> 0:32:22.900
<v Speaker 4>is now common. This is our daily existence. We know this.

0:32:23.340 --> 0:32:27.680
<v Speaker 4>And that's why they have fewer and fewer viewers. Having

0:32:27.760 --> 0:32:30.600
<v Speaker 4>said this, Jeff, I must say, I did hear the

0:32:30.640 --> 0:32:34.489
<v Speaker 4>president's comments. And my reaction was, you know, in all

0:32:34.530 --> 0:32:37.190
<v Speaker 4>our years that we lived in D.C., so there's kind

0:32:37.210 --> 0:32:41.070
<v Speaker 4>of two shorthands that people use. If you're talking to Liberals,

0:32:41.600 --> 0:32:46.400
<v Speaker 4>oftentimes they make disparaging comments about what they call flyover country, right,

0:32:46.420 --> 0:32:50.080
<v Speaker 4>which is the heartland. And when you're talking about conservatives,

0:32:50.600 --> 0:32:55.770
<v Speaker 4>they often make jokes or disparaging comments about the blue states.

0:32:56.530 --> 0:32:59.030
<v Speaker 4>And so I just thought that this is Trump, who now,

0:32:59.210 --> 0:33:01.790
<v Speaker 4>you know, he's in D.C. a lot. He was making

0:33:01.830 --> 0:33:04.970
<v Speaker 4>a joke where he was being very disparaging of the

0:33:05.010 --> 0:33:07.510
<v Speaker 4>blue states, saying, look, I'm trying to prevent Iran from

0:33:07.530 --> 0:33:10.770
<v Speaker 4>getting a nuclear bomb, and I'm getting so much resistance

0:33:10.790 --> 0:33:13.020
<v Speaker 4>that and you know what what what just let them

0:33:13.080 --> 0:33:17.300
<v Speaker 4>bomb out you know these these blue city haha he

0:33:17.340 --> 0:33:20.400
<v Speaker 4>was making a joke but it was a joke gone

0:33:20.640 --> 0:33:24.219
<v Speaker 4>terribly back about how i thought it was a bad

0:33:24.340 --> 0:33:28.570
<v Speaker 4>joke that he shouldn't have made from saying it's a

0:33:28.630 --> 0:33:31.410
<v Speaker 4>bad joke that the commander in chief shouldn't have made

0:33:31.710 --> 0:33:35.510
<v Speaker 4>to keep actually wanted the city's bomb that's just a

0:33:35.590 --> 0:33:40.510
<v Speaker 4>giant stretch and that's where we're seeing this, this, the

0:33:40.550 --> 0:33:43.910
<v Speaker 4>media discrediting itself because they go from some, you can

0:33:43.950 --> 0:33:46.060
<v Speaker 4>make a legitimate point and say, you know what, that

0:33:46.080 --> 0:33:48.980
<v Speaker 4>joke just, it's not becoming of the president of the

0:33:49.020 --> 0:33:54.200
<v Speaker 4>United States. And it didn't really land well overall, you know,

0:33:54.240 --> 0:33:56.860
<v Speaker 4>from making that comment all the way to, he literally

0:33:57.000 --> 0:33:59.620
<v Speaker 4>wants those cities bombed. That's just preposterous.

0:34:00.860 --> 0:34:05.170
<v Speaker 1>Grace. I, um, I respectfully disagree. I want to play

0:34:05.190 --> 0:34:08.900
<v Speaker 1>the cut again. And I'm not doing this to have

0:34:08.940 --> 0:34:12.180
<v Speaker 1>a debate or an argument, but I don't see the joke.

0:34:12.630 --> 0:34:16.870
<v Speaker 1>I don't hear a joke. There's no joke. And there's

0:34:16.910 --> 0:34:22.790
<v Speaker 1>certainly no joke about bombing Los Angeles and San Diego. Here,

0:34:22.910 --> 0:34:25.270
<v Speaker 1>I want to play it one more time. And you

0:34:25.290 --> 0:34:28.310
<v Speaker 1>tell me, where's the joke? Okay, so this is Trump

0:34:28.530 --> 0:34:34.880
<v Speaker 1>at a rally in Nebraska. Roll cut 1A, Mike. With

0:34:34.920 --> 0:34:36.930
<v Speaker 1>the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high.

0:34:37.390 --> 0:34:40.750
<v Speaker 3>It's a small price to pay for keeping the world safe,

0:34:40.790 --> 0:34:41.950
<v Speaker 3>keeping our country safe.

0:34:41.989 --> 0:34:43.190
<v Speaker 1>They can take out a city.

0:34:43.890 --> 0:34:45.770
<v Speaker 2>Let them take.

0:34:45.670 --> 0:34:48.270
<v Speaker 1>Out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego.

0:34:49.910 --> 0:34:50.460
<v Speaker 3>This is a.

0:34:50.450 --> 0:34:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Very small price to pay.

0:34:53.080 --> 0:34:55.200
<v Speaker 1>And it's going to be over very soon. It's essentially

0:34:55.320 --> 0:34:58.600
<v Speaker 1>almost over with. And they might keep going a little long.

0:34:58.640 --> 0:35:00.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, they always say they have a big threshold

0:35:00.800 --> 0:35:02.520
<v Speaker 1>for pain. They need it. Let me tell you, they

0:35:02.560 --> 0:35:05.040
<v Speaker 1>need it. But it's going to end very soon, and

0:35:05.719 --> 0:35:08.880
<v Speaker 1>it'll end one way or the other. Where's the joke?

0:35:10.500 --> 0:35:13.150
<v Speaker 1>I mean, to me, this is what I hear, and

0:35:13.190 --> 0:35:15.770
<v Speaker 1>then I want you to get your take. He says, look,

0:35:15.910 --> 0:35:18.630
<v Speaker 1>with the war, it's just artificial, meaning the prices, the

0:35:18.670 --> 0:35:22.310
<v Speaker 1>high gas prices. It's a little bit high. It's a

0:35:22.410 --> 0:35:25.190
<v Speaker 1>small price to pay for keeping the world safe, for

0:35:25.230 --> 0:35:28.640
<v Speaker 1>keeping our country safe. He says they could take out

0:35:28.780 --> 0:35:31.230
<v Speaker 1>a city. So he's basically saying, like, you know, if

0:35:31.250 --> 0:35:34.450
<v Speaker 1>they had a nuke, they could take out an American city. Now,

0:35:34.670 --> 0:35:37.009
<v Speaker 1>he says, let them take out Los Angeles. Let them

0:35:37.030 --> 0:35:40.450
<v Speaker 1>take out San Diego. What he means is, obviously, what?

0:35:40.570 --> 0:35:43.230
<v Speaker 1>I'm supposed to what? Let them take out L.A.? What?

0:35:43.310 --> 0:35:46.549
<v Speaker 1>Let them take out San Diego? And then he goes

0:35:46.590 --> 0:35:49.029
<v Speaker 1>back to the gas prices. And he says, this is

0:35:49.050 --> 0:35:51.299
<v Speaker 1>a very small price to pay. And it's going to

0:35:51.320 --> 0:35:53.219
<v Speaker 1>be over with very soon, meaning the war is going

0:35:53.239 --> 0:35:55.040
<v Speaker 1>to end soon. When the war ends, the gas prices

0:35:55.080 --> 0:35:58.670
<v Speaker 1>will come down. And anyway, he says it may go

0:35:58.750 --> 0:36:00.710
<v Speaker 1>on a little bit longer. They say the Iranians have

0:36:00.730 --> 0:36:02.450
<v Speaker 1>a threshold for pain, but they're going to need it

0:36:02.890 --> 0:36:06.750
<v Speaker 1>because their economy is crumbling and collapsing everywhere. So to

0:36:06.770 --> 0:36:10.620
<v Speaker 1>be honest, I don't see, A, the joke, and certainly

0:36:10.700 --> 0:36:14.339
<v Speaker 1>the joke about, ha, ha, ha, ha, let them nuke L.A.

0:36:14.440 --> 0:36:15.839
<v Speaker 1>or San Diego. Go.

0:36:17.340 --> 0:36:19.279
<v Speaker 4>Jeff, listen, I took it as a joke when I

0:36:19.320 --> 0:36:21.200
<v Speaker 4>heard it. And if you listen carefully to the clip

0:36:21.239 --> 0:36:24.840
<v Speaker 4>you played, some of the audience members are laughing because

0:36:24.880 --> 0:36:28.040
<v Speaker 4>what he's really saying is, I'm trying so hard to

0:36:28.080 --> 0:36:31.140
<v Speaker 4>keep America safe. And what should I do? You know,

0:36:31.200 --> 0:36:34.220
<v Speaker 4>just do not, this is from his perspective, do nothing.

0:36:34.280 --> 0:36:35.820
<v Speaker 4>Let them have a nuke. And you know what? If

0:36:35.880 --> 0:36:38.440
<v Speaker 4>they did, well, then let them take out L.A. and

0:36:38.500 --> 0:36:41.570
<v Speaker 4>San Diego. Let them drop it on the blue states

0:36:41.610 --> 0:36:43.989
<v Speaker 4>that are opposing me, on the blue cities that oppose me.

0:36:44.070 --> 0:36:44.750
<v Speaker 1>Ha, ha, ha.

0:36:45.130 --> 0:36:48.549
<v Speaker 4>It's clearly, but it's a joke gone bad. Now, the

0:36:48.590 --> 0:36:51.310
<v Speaker 4>larger point is this, though, Jeff. Listen, this is the

0:36:51.350 --> 0:36:55.049
<v Speaker 4>larger point. Why are we even discussing this? And you

0:36:55.090 --> 0:36:59.370
<v Speaker 4>know why we're discussing it? Because the words themselves, let

0:36:59.469 --> 0:37:03.440
<v Speaker 4>them take out, are indefensible. And that's why we're discussing it.

0:37:03.750 --> 0:37:05.730
<v Speaker 4>So now we have to discuss, is it a joke?

0:37:05.830 --> 0:37:09.029
<v Speaker 4>Is it not a joke? You as a professional, you

0:37:09.110 --> 0:37:12.890
<v Speaker 4>are on the air every day on little sleep for years.

0:37:13.630 --> 0:37:17.690
<v Speaker 4>And you are very careful about what you say. And

0:37:17.730 --> 0:37:19.850
<v Speaker 4>this is some of the frustration that many of us

0:37:19.910 --> 0:37:24.680
<v Speaker 4>Trump supporters have with the president. There is sometimes a recklessness,

0:37:24.840 --> 0:37:27.600
<v Speaker 4>a carelessness. you know i shrug it off that's ok

0:37:27.680 --> 0:37:30.670
<v Speaker 4>it's just a joke on bad let's not exaggerate but

0:37:30.710 --> 0:37:33.830
<v Speaker 4>this is part of what irritates me about him i

0:37:33.870 --> 0:37:36.750
<v Speaker 4>mean you know he's got a bit some responsibility the

0:37:36.830 --> 0:37:41.170
<v Speaker 4>words themselves are indefensible now we just have to discuss

0:37:41.230 --> 0:37:43.259
<v Speaker 4>did he mean it did he not mean it no

0:37:43.320 --> 0:37:44.719
<v Speaker 4>i think it as a joke and i think the

0:37:44.760 --> 0:37:48.980
<v Speaker 4>media is exaggerating but at the same time he had

0:37:49.020 --> 0:37:53.040
<v Speaker 4>the position of grave responsibility especially now to try to

0:37:53.100 --> 0:37:57.880
<v Speaker 4>preserve the house and the senate And this is stepping

0:37:57.940 --> 0:38:00.160
<v Speaker 4>in it. You know, there's no other way to say it.

0:38:00.360 --> 0:38:02.399
<v Speaker 4>The fact that we have to discuss it shows that.

0:38:03.320 --> 0:38:06.610
<v Speaker 4>At the same time, I understand everybody's frustration is, but

0:38:06.640 --> 0:38:08.790
<v Speaker 4>no matter what he does, the media is going to pounce.

0:38:09.170 --> 0:38:13.210
<v Speaker 4>And that's true. That's true, too. So my position is.

0:38:13.890 --> 0:38:16.549
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, Grace, I hear you. We're not trying to

0:38:16.590 --> 0:38:19.600
<v Speaker 1>cut you off. We're literally 15 seconds before the break.
