Speaker 1: Now let's get to DC for a variety of reasons,
Speaker 1: by the way, but first we'll start where President Trump
Speaker 1: is calling for an investigation into the high profile endorsements
Speaker 1: of Kamala Harris during the twenty twenty four campaign. The
Speaker 1: move comes after Bruce Springsteen criticized the president last week
Speaker 1: during his European tour. Springsteen called the Trump administration quote corrupt, incompetent,
Speaker 1: in treason us in front of a live audience. President
Speaker 1: Trump didn't take those words too kindly and went on
Speaker 1: truth social with the following quote, how much did Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris pay Bruce Springsteen for his poor performance during her
Speaker 1: campaign for president? Why did he accept that money if
Speaker 1: he is such a fan of hers, isn't that a
Speaker 1: major and illegal campaign contribution? What about Beyonce and how
Speaker 1: much went to Oprah and Bono? I'm going to call
Speaker 1: for a major investigation into this matter. Candidates aren't allowed
Speaker 1: to pay for endorsements, which is what Kamala did, the
Speaker 1: guys of paying for entertainment.
Speaker 2: In addition, this was a very expensive and.
Speaker 1: Desperate effort to artificially build up sparse crowds. It's not
Speaker 1: legal for these unpatriotic entertainers. This was just a corrupt
Speaker 1: and unlawful way to capitalize.
Speaker 2: On a broken system. Thank you for your attention to
Speaker 2: this matter. End quote. The post from Trump.
Speaker 1: Revives previous accusations that the Harbers campaign paid Oprah Winfrey
Speaker 1: and others for campaign appearances and endorsements of the Democratic nominee.
Speaker 2: Here's the deal. A couple of things to point out.
Speaker 1: First of all, I want to say this, I think
Speaker 1: calling for an investigation is a bit extreme just because
Speaker 1: somebody says something negatively about you, mister president. I think
Speaker 1: you got bigger fish to fry and more important things
Speaker 1: to matter. You still got the tariff war going on.
Speaker 1: I know there's a ninety day of reprieve with you
Speaker 1: in China and US in China rather than I get
Speaker 1: that part of Ukraine and Russia calling for an immediate
Speaker 1: cease fire according to you, still important matters. There's really
Speaker 1: a mass conflict of what's happening the folks, the Palestinian
Speaker 1: women and children and stuff like that, and you having
Speaker 1: to resolve that issue, or Israel and Hamas Iran being involved.
Speaker 1: A ma Siene is a proxy to Iran.
Speaker 2: We get all that.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of stuff to deal with man, This
Speaker 1: ain't that important. So using the word investigation and saying
Speaker 1: that you're going to call for it is a bit
Speaker 1: extreme and dare I say dictatorial and unnecessary.
Speaker 2: Period.
Speaker 1: Having said that, let me articulate that I don't disagree
Speaker 1: with President Trump about everything he said. I do think
Speaker 1: there's something to be said about going outside of this
Speaker 1: country and speaking about this country and its president administration
Speaker 1: that way.
Speaker 2: Let other people say that.
Speaker 1: But you being an entertainer going across the world, going
Speaker 1: across the ocean wherever Bruce Springsteen was, and I forget
Speaker 1: for the moment where he was, and speaking against the
Speaker 1: president of the United States that way is problematic. Perfect
Speaker 1: to give you a hypothetical, Stephen A. Smith has been outspoken.
Speaker 1: But if I'm overseas in France, Europe, Switzerland, or wherever
Speaker 1: I'm a Germany or some place, I'm not gonna be
Speaker 1: sitting in a foreign country talking about my president that way.
Speaker 2: Even if I didn't vote for him.
Speaker 1: He's still a president of the United States, and I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna go.
Speaker 2: Someplace else speaking about him that way.
Speaker 1: I might touch the issues, and I'm not saying you
Speaker 1: can't disagree with him I'm not saying that you don't
Speaker 1: like a policy or in abundance of policies. Well, I
Speaker 1: don't like the terror. You can say I don't like
Speaker 1: the tariffs. You can say I don't like what's going
Speaker 1: on with the war. You can say I don't like
Speaker 1: the state of our economy. You don't say I don't
Speaker 1: like the state of our politics. But when you say corrupt,
Speaker 1: inept and stuff like that on foreign soil, I don't
Speaker 1: have a problem with the President having a problem with that.
Speaker 2: There's a time and place for every truth, Michael Aaron Sherry.
Speaker 2: There's a time and a place.
Speaker 1: We're not debating truth or falsehood here, we're saying, if
Speaker 1: you are an American, if you were about the red, white,
Speaker 1: and blue, there's certain places you don't go and speak
Speaker 1: that way. There's a time and place for everything. Bruce
Speaker 1: Bringstey knows that better than anybody. Every truths ain't meant
Speaker 1: to be told at every single time disshert things you
Speaker 1: don't do as it pertains to Kamala Harris and a
Speaker 1: Democratic Party paying folks to endorse them. This is not
Speaker 1: the first time those stories have been broached. Remember of
Speaker 1: Oprah's production company and what it purportedly received. Remember, even
Speaker 1: though there's no evidence that Beyonce was paid the dime,
Speaker 1: Remember what they were saying about her in terms of
Speaker 1: the connection and how the Harris campaign was able to
Speaker 1: convince her to endorse her publicly. We've seen a bevy
Speaker 1: of folks in Hollywood speaking out for Kamala Harris. But
Speaker 1: we also knew that they had spent about one point
Speaker 1: five billion dollars, and we're asking ourselves where that money went.
Speaker 2: And who got some of it and for what purpose.
Speaker 1: Those are the legitimate questions, whether we like it or not,
Speaker 1: whether we like it or not. So again, I think
Speaker 1: the president should have bigger fish to fry. I don't
Speaker 1: think this should be a focal point, and I do
Speaker 1: think he comes across as a bit dictatorial responding to
Speaker 1: Bruce Bringstein that way, However, don't sit here and say
Speaker 1: definitively he's wrong. We don't know that, not with all
Speaker 1: the lies we've heard the Democratic Party.
Speaker 2: Tell talk about us. So let's just get that out
Speaker 2: the way right now.
