1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Welcome. It's so nice to have you with us. And

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: I got to tell you there has been so much

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,399
Speaker 1: about Jeffrey Epstein that I decided Senator Cruz and I

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: we're going to have a conversation about this issue, and

5
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: I want to have it for you as we did

6
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: a dual pod, because there's just so much that's breaking,

7
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: including the new threat coming from the President saying he's

8
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 1: gonna sue the hell out of the Wall Street Journal

9
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: for a pretty crazy report that has come out and

10
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: the President says it is a lie. So I want

11
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: you to hear what Senator Ted Cruz and I had

12
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: to say about all of this. Plus NPR has been defunded,

13
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: How we got there, how it happened, actually happened. And

14
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: then one other thing, Stephen Colbert, the whole show, he's

15
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: ruined to the point where they just canceled it and

16
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: said the show's gone, not just you, the entire show.

17
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: Take a listen.

18
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: Well, there's an absolute battle playing out in Washington, DC,

19
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: and you've got a battle about the Epstein files, President Trump,

20
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal, Pam Bondish, Pateel, Dan Bongino. It

21
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: is chaos. We're going to do our very best to

22
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 2: break down what's going on, what to expect, what's going

23
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 2: to happen next. We're also going to talk about really

24
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: important legislation that just passed Congress past the Senate defunding PBS,

25
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 2: defunding NPR. This is a major conservative victory. We've been

26
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: trying to do this for decades and we finally got

27
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 2: it done. And finally we're going to talk about something

28
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 2: that I'm going to confess is just beautiful. Stephen Colbert

29
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: has been fired, he's been canceled. We're going to break

30
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: that down, talk about what's going on. A lot is

31
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: happening right now.

32
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, before we get all that, I just want to

33
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: talk to you real quick about an incredible company that

34
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: I want you to know about. And if you have

35
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: a cell phone, and look almost one hundred percent of

36
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: us do, then why give your money to companies that

37
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: actually fight against your values. For more than twelve years,

38
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: there's been a company called Patriot Mobile, and they've been

39
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: on the front lines fighting for a god given right

40
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: and freedoms by taking part of your cell phone bill

41
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: at no extra costs to any of their clients and

42
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: giving it back to incredible causes that support our First

43
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: and our second Amendment rights, the rights of unborn children,

44
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: and they stand with our veterans, our wounded warriors, and

45
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: so many families that are in need, with loved ones

46
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: that served in our military. Now they do that while

47
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: you also get exceptional nationwide cell phone service, and you

48
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: get access with Patriot Mobile to all three of the

49
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: main networks that are running all over the country. Now

50
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: you don't have to take my word for it. You

51
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: can literally ask the hundreds of thousands of American Patriots

52
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: who have made the switch and are now supporting causes

53
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: they believe in simply by joining Patriot Mobile. Now, a

54
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: lot of people think that switching cell phone providers is

55
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: so hard it's not worth the time. That is true

56
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: in the past, but not in twenty twenty five. Switching

57
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: is easier now than ever. You can activate in minutes

58
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: from the comfort of your home or your office, and

59
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: you keep your same number, You keep your same phone,

60
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: or you can upgrade to a new one. Now I

61
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: want to give you a free month of service. All

62
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: you have to do is go to Patriotmobile dot com

63
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: slash ferguson. That's Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson and

64
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: if you use the promo code Ferguson, you're gonna get

65
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: a free month of service. On top of that, you

66
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: can also call them and make the switch nine to

67
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: seven to two Patriot. That's nine seven to two Patriot,

68
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: and make the switch today and make a difference literally

69
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: with every phone call and text you make. All right, So, Centater,

70
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: let's break down some of the just frustrations with the

71
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: Epstein hoopla. The media is just going after Donald Trump.

72
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: The left is now caring about Epstein they never did before.

73
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: They're trying to attack Trump, saying he's trying to hide something.

74
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: And I think it's pretty clear you've been an advocate

75
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: for this. I have since the beginning. I want transparency.

76
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: I want to make sure that the people that were

77
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: involved are held accountable. There seems like there's been no

78
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: accountability except for one person going to jail. And I

79
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: want to make sure that our government wasn't covering something

80
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: up because a lot of people lost like confidence in

81
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: our institutions, and we know they've lied to us a lot.

82
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything wrong with hardcore conservatives wanting

83
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: that level of transparency.

84
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 2: Well, I think millions who could serve it as millions

85
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 2: of Americans have been frustrated in the last week because

86
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: the media has been just beside themselves trying to flame

87
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: a civil war. They wanted a civil war between Magan

88
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 2: and Trump, and they're hoping that all of the elements

89
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 2: of the conservative movement, all of the elements of President

90
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: Trump and his supporters, will consume each other. I don't

91
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: think that's gonna happen. So so part of my advice

92
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: to everyone is just breathe. Count to ten. We're gonna

93
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 2: make it through this. Now, let me give you some

94
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: ways to think through this. I'm gonna give you four principles.

95
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 2: Number One, transparency is good. We should support transparency. We

96
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 2: should demand transparency. We should fight for transparency. That's important.

97
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: Number two, protect the victims. A couple months ago, I

98
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: had dinner with Pambondi Pam as a good friend. We

99
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 2: were talking about the Epstein files and what had been released.

100
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 2: What she told me then is she said that there

101
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: were hundreds, even thousands of hours of tapes. The tapes

102
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 2: were explicit. She said they were explicit of children being abused,

103
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 2: and she said it was taking time to edit those

104
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 2: videos to make sure you protect victims. Look, nobody wants

105
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 2: to see children being sexually assaulted having their privacy violated,

106
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 2: So I think it's important to protect the victims. It's

107
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: not their fault. Number three, and this is a principle

108
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 2: I have said four years on this issue. Release it all.

109
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: That should be the basic standard. Put it out there,

110
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 2: release it all, make it public. That's what I've encouraged

111
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 2: the President to do, the White House to do, the

112
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: Department of Justice to do, the FBI to do. I

113
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 2: think that is a simple and straightforward standard. And then

114
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 2: number four, predators should be prosecuted. Anyone who sexually assaulted

115
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 2: a child should be prosecuted and they should go to jail.

116
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 2: This is a simple and straightforward standard. This is what

117
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 2: we should be demanding. Now we're going to break this

118
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: down in this show. We're going to talk about what's

119
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: going on. But understand the media you were on CNN

120
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: earlier to night. CNN is so excited. They're so excited

121
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 2: because they're seeing strong supporters of the president who are

122
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 2: criticizing the president. Cina doesn't care about the truth. If

123
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 2: they cared about the truth. By the way, Joe Biden

124
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 2: had these files. He had these files for years did

125
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 2: CNN ever mention the words Jeffrey Epstein. They didn't want

126
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 2: Joe Biden to release the files, they didn't want Merrick

127
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: Garland to release the files. They're not concerned about the substance.

128
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: They're just excited about the civil war among President Trump

129
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 2: and his supporters. That should tell you something. We're gonna

130
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: break that down even further. But understand, at the end

131
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: of the day, the people cheering on for this to

132
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: get ugly, many of them, the Democrats and the corporate media,

133
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: have been proven to be utter and complete hypocrites. Because

134
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 2: if they didn't say a word when Joe Biden was president,

135
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 2: then they need to be quiet right now and stop

136
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 2: pretending they care about this.

137
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: Let's talk about what transparency looks like. And this was

138
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: one of the big debates, as you mentioned, seeing it

139
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: obsessed over this, and I said, look, this has to

140
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: be done a responsible way. I also think the American

141
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: people need to understand Donald Trump cannot just sign and

142
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: everything go out to the public. There are judges that

143
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: will have to decide what is made public. And a

144
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: lot of the information we have on Jeffrey Epstein, and

145
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: they're trying to act like Donald Trump's that's not allowing

146
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: anything to happen. That's not the case.

147
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: Well, that's right, and listen, the media and the Democrats

148
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 2: have been eager to fan a dispute between Pambondi, Cash Battel,

149
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 2: and Dan Bongino. Not now. I want to caution everyone,

150
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: do not take as true everything reported in the media.

151
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 2: I've read the same things you are. That Dan Bongino's

152
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 2: screaming at Pambondi, that there's a civil war, that he's

153
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: threatening to resign, that cash Ptel threatening to resign. I

154
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: don't know. I have not been in these meetings. I'll

155
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 2: tell you all three of them are friends of mine.

156
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: I like Pambondi, I like cash Battel, I like Dan Bongino.

157
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 2: I've known all of them for a decade. I believe

158
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: they are good people. I believe they are principled people.

159
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 2: I believe they're trying to do the right thing. And

160
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: my hope is the Trump administration will follow the four

161
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: principles I laid out and handle this the right way.

162
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 2: But do not get carried away with the media excitement

163
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 2: of the people who hate President Trump, hate his administration,

164
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 2: and want his administration to be in a civil war.

165
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 2: I very much hope. I do not know, but I

166
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 2: hope that Bondi, Patel and Bongino come together and they

167
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 2: do the right thing together. And do not believe the

168
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 2: exaggerations of a civil war.

169
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: Right now, Senator, I want to get in also to

170
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: another big story that came out. It dealt with Epstein

171
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: and the Wall Street Journal report. The President punching back

172
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: extremely hard on this reporting.

173
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 2: Well, the Wall Street Journal reported this week that there

174
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 2: was a book prepared for Jeffrey Epstein's fiftieth birthday and

175
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 2: it had letters from a number of prominent people, and

176
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 2: that one of the letters was from Donald Trump. And

177
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 2: this was a breathless article. And you're right, President Trump

178
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 2: is punching back hard. He says it is fake, he

179
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 2: says it is false. He says he's going to sue

180
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal. Now, Ben, you' know the truth

181
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 2: on this. I don't know the truth on this. I'll

182
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 2: tell you what the Wall Street Journal reported just on

183
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,839
Speaker 2: the text of it. I go to admit, this thing

184
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 2: sounds weird, and if any of us have a BS meter,

185
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 2: it ought to be flashing. So here's what the Wall

186
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 2: Street Journal reported reported. The letter said quote voiceover, there

187
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 2: must be more to life than having everything, And then

188
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 2: it's this weird dialogue. Donald, Yes there is, but I

189
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 2: won't tell you what it is, Jeffrey, nor will I

190
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: since I also know what it is. Donald. We have

191
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 2: certain things in common, Jeffrey. Jeffrey, yes, we do, come

192
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 2: to think of it, Donald, enigma's never age. Have you

193
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 2: noticed that, Jeffrey. As a matter of fact, it was

194
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 2: clear to me the last time I saw you, Donald,

195
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy birthday, and may

196
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: every day be another wonderful secret. And then underneath that

197
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 2: is a hand drawn, pretty shoddy drawing of a naked

198
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 2: woman and the now very famous signature of Donald Trump

199
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 2: drawn on top of the hand drawn naked woman. Now look,

200
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if this is real or not, but

201
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 2: I gotta say that doesn't sound like Donald Trump to me.

202
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: I've known President Trump a long time. That exchange just

203
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: sounds strange. I've seen online. I've never heard President Trump

204
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 2: use the word enigma as an enigma's never age. That's

205
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 2: not the language President Trump speaks. And this sort of weird, existential,

206
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 2: self reflective dialogue out of Camu that ain't the Donald J.

207
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: Trump I know, and I got to say President Trump

208
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 2: response on this. It was not ambiguous, it was not slight,

209
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 2: it was not conflicted. Here's what President Trump said in

210
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 2: response to this. He said on truth quote. The Wall

211
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 2: Street Journal and Rupert Murdock personally were warned directly by

212
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 2: President Donald J. Trump that the supposed letter they were

213
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: printed by President Trump to Epstein was a fake all

214
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: caps and if they print it, they will be sued.

215
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 2: Mister Murdoch stated that he would take care of it,

216
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: but obviously did not have the power to do so.

217
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 2: The editor of The Wall Street Journal, Emma Tucker, was

218
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 2: told directly by Caroline Levitt and by President Trump that

219
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 2: the letter was a fake all caps, but Emina Tucker

220
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 2: didn't want to hear that. Instead, they're going with a false, malicious,

221
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 2: and defamatory story. Anyway, President Trump will be suing the

222
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal, newscorps, and mister Murdoch shortly. The press

223
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 2: has to learn to be truthful and not to rely

224
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 2: on sources that probably don't even exist. President Trump has

225
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 2: already beaten George Stephanopolis, Slash ABC sixty Minutes, Slash CBS,

226
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 2: and others, and looks forward to suing and holding accountable

227
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 2: the once great Wall Street Journal. It is truly turned

228
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: out to be a quote disgusting and filthy rag and

229
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 2: writing defamatory lies like this shows their desperation to remain relevant.

230
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 2: If there were any truths at all on the Epstein hoax,

231
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 2: as it pertains to President Trump, the information would have

232
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: been revealed by Comy Brennan, Crooked Hillary and the other

233
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: radical left lunatics years ago. It certainly would not have

234
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 2: sat in the file waiting for Trump to have won

235
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 2: three elections. This is yet another example of fake news. Now,

236
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 2: I got to say President Trump is not being shy

237
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: or subtle or restrained on that. He's saying it's an

238
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 2: absolute lie. And look, I think we'll see this play

239
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: out in the in the days ahead. But on the

240
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 2: face of it, like the strange drawing of a naked

241
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 2: woman that seems like it's drawn by about a twelve

242
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 2: year old, that doesn't seem like anything I've ever seen

243
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 2: President Trump do, and and and so, and it's kind

244
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: of very conveniently signed with the same signature we've seen

245
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 2: on pictures on laws, on executive orders, on pardons. It

246
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 2: has a lot of appearances of being fake we'll see

247
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: what happens.

248
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: Well, and the queer point the President is making was

249
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: he's saying it's not real and I'm gonna sue suing

250
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: by the way the coming downs Fox News, that's a

251
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: pretty bold statement. I also think that you know, goes

252
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: to the heart here where he's saying this is not

253
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: a real story. This is. And let's also be clear

254
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: when the president digs in. Traditionally we have seen when

255
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: he says this is not a real story. Russia collusion

256
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: is a great example of that. He's been right and

257
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: when he sued, he's been right.

258
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 3: Well.

259
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 2: And let me make three points that are critical in

260
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: analyzing this battle between Trump and the Wall Street Journal.

261
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: Number One, the most compelling argument he made this in

262
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 2: his truth is if there were evidence of Donald Trump

263
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 2: in the Epstein files, Biden would have released it. Biden

264
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: had this, Merrick Garland had this. They were in the

265
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 2: middle of a nasty fight. If they had anything to

266
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 2: implicate Donald Trump, we would have seen this on the

267
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 2: front pages of the paper in October of twenty twenty four,

268
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 2: right before the election. The fact that they didn't, I

269
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 2: think is the single most compelling piece of evidence to

270
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 2: suggest that this is not real. Number two, and I

271
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 2: want to underscore this, don't forget Bill Clinton. Jeffrey Epstein

272
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 2: was a Democrat. He was a friend to Bill. You

273
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 2: know what was hanging in Jeffrey Epstein's living room in

274
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 2: his Manhattan.

275
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: Brownstone, Ah, the famous Bill Clinton dress painting.

276
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 2: No, that's exactly right. It was a painting of Bill

277
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 2: Clinton in a blue dress wearing red pumps. It was weird.

278
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: And that's what Jeffrey Epstein had hanging on his wall.

279
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 2: He was a huge Democrat. Donery supported Chuck Schumer and Democrats,

280
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 2: and so don't forget Bill Clinton. And there's a lot

281
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: of effort to paint this Democrats scumbags as a Trump guy.

282
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 2: And a final point, here's what President Trump truthed this week. Quote,

283
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 2: based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein,

284
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 2: I have asked Attorney General Pambondi to produce any and

285
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 2: all pertinent grand jury testimony, subject to court approval. This

286
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 2: scam perpetuated by the Democrats should end right now. Bravo,

287
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 2: release it all. That was right in the principles we

288
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 2: said right up front.

289
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: Aim into that, and let's talk about some winning. That's

290
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: been taking place Center. It's been amazing what the President

291
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: has been able to do with Benjamin retires winning. I'm

292
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: not tired. I'm not tired of winning, that's for sure.

293
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 2: I'm not tired at all.

294
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you look at just the last six months the

295
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: Trump administration. We've secured the border, they've launched ice raids,

296
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: They've ended child gender surgeries, they designated the cartels as

297
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: terrorist organizations. They've kicked out DII out of government, and

298
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: then the big one, which should make so many taxpayers happy,

299
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 1: they have defunded MPR with your help and leadership. That

300
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: is amazing.

301
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 2: Well, I got to say this, this week was a

302
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 2: very important week. So at two twenty in the morning,

303
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 2: late Wednesday night, early Thursday morning, the Senate voted, and

304
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 2: we voted to defund NPR and defund PBS. Now, as

305
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 2: a conservative, I have been fighting to defund NPR and

306
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 2: PBS as long as I can remember. NPR PBS have

307
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 2: been left wing propaganda outlets forever, and as bad as

308
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 2: they were. Look when we were kids, when it was

309
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 2: Sesame Street and Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch. Okay,

310
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 2: that was fine, But in recent years they had been radicalized.

311
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 2: They always lean left, but in recent years they've been

312
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 2: open outlets for left wing propaganda. And I got to say,

313
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 2: the left was certain we could never defund them, and

314
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 2: I will tell you on the Senate floor, as we

315
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 2: were taking up the recisions package, so President Trump sent

316
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 2: a package of some nine billion dollars of recisions federal

317
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 2: spendings to call back. We were battling on the floor

318
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 2: and we had it was beyond two in the morning.

319
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 2: It was very unclear if we were going to prevail,

320
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 2: because I got to say, there were several Republicans who

321
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 2: were wobbly. There were several Republicans who were threatening to

322
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 2: vote with the Democrats, and as late as about two

323
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 2: in the morning, I didn't know if we were going

324
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 2: to win. We did prevail, and I got to say,

325
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 2: what a testament to the president, And what a testament.

326
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 2: Let me give you just a shout out to Senate

327
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 2: Republicans and House Republicans for coming together, for pushing past

328
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 2: their differences. Defunding NPR and PBS is the right thing

329
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 2: to do, and the Senate finally, finally finally voted to

330
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 2: do that this week.

331
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is such a big message I think to

332
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: taxpayers that were no longer in the business of just

333
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: completely abusing your tax dours and actually using your tax

334
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: dollars to go for political purposes. Which is the scariest

335
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: part of all of this is how political these dollars

336
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: had become advocating for radical, extreme things against family values.

337
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: And by the way, I don't want our tax dolls

338
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: going for conservative things for sarcasting either. I want to

339
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: make that very clear, like that's not what we're advocating.

340
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 2: For at all. The government should not be in the

341
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: propaganda business. This is the argument I made on the

342
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 2: Senate floor. So listen to what I stood up and

343
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 2: urged my colleagues late Wednesday night, early Thursday morning. Give

344
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 2: a listen.

345
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 4: Public broadcasting has long been overtaken by partisan activists, plain

346
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 4: and simple.

347
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 2: This isn't just an abstract critique.

348
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 4: NPR and PBS have revealed their left wing bias time

349
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 4: and time again. When blowing the whistle on NPR, Uri Berliner,

350
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 4: a former senior editor himself a left wing Democrat, wrote

351
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 4: that quote, NPR has always had a liberal bent. An

352
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 4: open minded spirit no longer exists within NPR. We don't

353
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 4: have an audience that reflects America. Exhibit a after The New

354
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 4: York Post broke the Hunter Biden laptop story, NPR ran

355
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 4: political cover for the Democrats, refusing to cover the story, quote,

356
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 4: we don't want to waste listeners and readers time on

357
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 4: stories that are just pure distractions. Mind you, the story

358
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 4: was true, That's why they didn't want to cover it.

359
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 4: As for PBS, its coverage of last year's DNC was

360
00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 4: only twelve percent negative, the RNC a stat baggering seventy

361
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 4: two percent negative. If you want to watch left wing propaganda,

362
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 4: turn on MSNBC, but the taxpayers should not be forced

363
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 4: to subsidize it.

364
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 2: I urge a no vote on this amendment.

365
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: That obviously was very powerful, and the facts that you

366
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: laid out there are also incredibly accurate.

367
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 2: Look, the principle is simple, and I'll say it again.

368
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 2: If you want to watch left wing propaganda, turn on

369
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 2: MSNBC or for that matter, CNN, or for that matter,

370
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 2: read the New York Times or any of a host

371
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 2: of corporate media outlets. But you know what we shouldn't

372
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 2: be doing is using your taxpayer money to subsidize it.

373
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 2: And I got to say, I'm going to give a

374
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 2: shout out to my colleague John Kennedy. John is a

375
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 2: good friend, but he also is a fabulous sense of humor.

376
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 2: I want you to listen to John Kennedy talking about

377
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 2: NPR some of the most radical stories they've run.

378
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 5: I want to give you a few examples of stories

379
00:21:54,920 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 5: that NPR has published using taxpayer money. Read the headlines.

380
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 5: First headline in PR News Service, Michael Abanatti quote a

381
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 5: profile of the media savvy attorney they love Michael l Abanatti.

382
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 5: You know where Michael Abanatti is today. He's in jail.

383
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: You know why.

384
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 5: He's a crook. But for a while he was a

385
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 5: media darling on NPR. Here's another headline from NPR, how

386
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 5: racism became a marketing tool for country music. I kid

387
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,719
Speaker 5: you not. The American taxpayers are spending half a billion

388
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 5: dollars a year to pay a local station to buy

389
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 5: content that says country music is racist. Here's another headline

390
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 5: from NPR, Donald Trump's long embrace of Vlatimer Pewtin. Remember

391
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 5: the Russia Gate, the Steel dossier. NPR was right in

392
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 5: there promoting it. A couple more headlines that NPR is

393
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 5: putting out there using your tax dollars. This headline, monuments

394
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 5: and teams have changed names. Let me say the game

395
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 5: monuments and teams, presumably sports teams had changed names as America.

396
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 5: Reckons with racism. Birds are next. I don't know any

397
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 5: birds that are racist. Here's another headline, eating less beef

398
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 5: is a climate solution. Eating less beef is a climate solution.

399
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 5: I don't have anything against vegetarians. I'm a semi vegetarian myself.

400
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 5: I eat beef and beef and tows eat eat grass,

401
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 5: So that makes me a semi vegetarian. But that's my choice,

402
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 5: not on NPR. Eating less beef is a climate solution.

403
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 5: Here's why that's hard for some American men. Here's the

404
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 5: final headline. I could go on the rest of the evening.

405
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 5: How the Taliband adds to Afghanistan's woes when it comes

406
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 5: to climate fueled disaster. Boy, I can tell you that's

407
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 5: on the mind of every person in Afghanistan today is

408
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 5: climate change and the Taliband. I can guarantee you I

409
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 5: don't have a problem with these headlines. This is America.

410
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 5: If you want to publish articles like this, which no

411
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 5: person with a brain above a single cell organism would

412
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,959
Speaker 5: call fare and balanced. If you're a news outlet and

413
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 5: you want to publish this kind of stuff. That is

414
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 5: your right as an American. We have freedom of the press,

415
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 5: we have the First Amendment. You're not free in our

416
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 5: country if you can't say what you think. You're not

417
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 5: free in our country if you can't express yourself. I'm

418
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 5: all for this, if that's what these outlets want to do,

419
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 5: but I'm not for taking five hundred million dollars every

420
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 5: single year and giving it to these stations to the

421
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 5: exclusion of everybody else, so they can do it.

422
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: Aim into that, Senator, I couldn't agree with your colleague

423
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: and good friend, Senator Kennedy. More.

424
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 2: I love John Kennedy. I will say he said something

425
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 2: in that. As you know, I'm married to California vegetarian.

426
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 2: Her entire family are all vegetarians. And an argument I

427
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 2: make with my in laws often as I say, listen,

428
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 2: all the animals I eat, they're all vegetarian. And I

429
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 2: will say, you've owned a barbecue restaurant. I am a

430
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 2: proud carnivore. John Kennedy is fantastic. But NPR and PBS

431
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 2: are a joke. And we have reason to celebrate because

432
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 2: despite a massive battle, we.

433
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: Won.

434
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 2: The Senate voted to cut off to zero out textpayer funding.

435
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 2: We're no longer paying for left wing propaganda.

436
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: Senator, there is just some news that shocked the left.

437
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how this could be true, but The

438
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: Late Show has been destroyed by Stephen Colbert at the

439
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 1: point where they're like, we're not even just firing you,

440
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,959
Speaker 1: We're just canceling the entire brand that has been a

441
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 1: staple in American culture, an iconic show for decades. And

442
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: now they're just like, yeah, we're done. I mean, it's amazing, right,

443
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: you alienate half the country, you hate half the country,

444
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: you mock half the country. No one could have seen

445
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: this coming.

446
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 2: Well, look, I got to say you and I talked

447
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 2: about just a few minutes ago. I'm not tired of

448
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 2: winning yet. Stephen Colbert is a vicious, dishonest, partisan leftist.

449
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 2: He is utterly consumed with Trump derangement syndrome, and he hates,

450
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 2: he despises more than half of America. He thinks we're idiots,

451
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 2: he thinks we're racist, he thinks were morons. He is

452
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 2: a condescending, arrogant jackass. Now look I say this with

453
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 2: direct experience. I've been on Colbert Show. There used to

454
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 2: be a time listen. I'm someone I love comedy. I

455
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 2: love late night comedy. I grew up watching in SNL.

456
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 2: I grew up watching Johnny Carson and Jay Leno and

457
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 2: like really fun late night comedy. And by the way,

458
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 2: if you've got a sense of humor, you can laugh

459
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 2: at both sides. I'm okay with late night comics making

460
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 2: fun of Republicans making fun of Democrats. Look, both sides

461
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 2: are funny. There's lots of jokes to tell. There used

462
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 2: to be a time. I've been the Senate thirteen years.

463
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 2: When I got there, it was part of the job.

464
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 2: I've done just about every late night show. I've done

465
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 2: Jay Leno, I've done Colbert, I've done Jimmy Kimmel, I've

466
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 2: done Jimmy Fallon. It was a fun part of the job.

467
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 2: It's disappeared. None of the late night shows have Republicans

468
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 2: on anymore. They don't invite anyone. And in fact, it

469
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 2: was really fitting Stephen Colbert's show where he announced I've

470
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 2: been canceled, I'm pulled off the air. You know who

471
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 2: His guest was, Adam Shiff, because of course it was

472
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 2: Adam Schiff because and Colbert's the worst of them he's

473
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 2: a vicious, nasty So I remember when I first did

474
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 2: a show, you know, you know, the hosts come by

475
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 2: and they talk to you in the green room and

476
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 2: they chat with you, and you know, I said, look

477
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 2: like all of these late night comics, they think they're

478
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 2: going to be you know that they're going to be

479
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 2: this like meet the press, like we're going to ask

480
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 2: you really tough questions. By the way, Democrat they have

481
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 2: love fests. They laugh, they joke, they kid around, But

482
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 2: with the Republicans, they're going to nail you to the ground.

483
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 2: And I'm like, look, you want to ask tough questions,

484
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 2: that's fine, but you go on a late night comedy

485
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 2: showed to to to humanize, to say a little bit

486
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 2: of who you are, to laugh, and Colbert just got angry.

487
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 2: He's just like, I want to prove you are evil.

488
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 2: You are the devil. And by the way, they don't

489
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 2: even do that anymore. They just don't have Republicans on

490
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 2: and and Colbert, of all of them, was the worst.

491
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 2: By the way, Jimmy Fallon of the Late Night Guys

492
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 2: is the best. Yeah, Fallin, you know, it's interesting. Fallon

493
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 2: inherited Jay Leno's audience Jay Leno inherited Johnny Carson's audience.

494
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 2: Their audience is a lot of Midwestern conservatives. And so

495
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 2: Jimmy Fallon like like, I had a great time. I

496
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 2: did Jimmy Fallon back back when I was running for president.

497
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 2: He had a very funny skit where he dressed up

498
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 2: as as Donald Trump and and called me and went

499
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 2: back and forth. But he was he was the one

500
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 2: late night host who was not a jerk. Actually Leno

501
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 2: wasn't either, but that was that was early on. Colbert

502
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 2: is directly responsible, along with his compatriots, with destroying late

503
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 2: night comedy.

504
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: And I want to play, by the way, it's because

505
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: it wasn't humor.

506
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:17,959
Speaker 2: It's not funny.

507
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: It's just you.

508
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 2: I hate you. It is not funny.

509
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's also, by the way, the reason why I

510
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: think Shank Gillis was at the SP's because historics like humor.

511
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: Humor is actually back. And Colbert turned his show into

512
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: this like sanctimonious woke lecture every night, attacking half of America.

513
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 2: Well, and let me prove it. I want to play

514
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 2: just just a a selection of you know, he became

515
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 2: this this like scold for you must get the COVID vaccine.

516
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 2: And here are a couple of examples of this bizarre

517
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 2: song he did. You're gonna listen to it. I wish

518
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 2: you could see the videos because the videos have him

519
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 2: dancing like a fruitcake nut uh dressed as a human syringe.

520
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 2: But just listen to it because you can get a

521
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 2: sense of just how sanctimonious he was. Give a listen.

522
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 6: Find out the way the vaccine is changing the scene

523
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 6: in our new recurring segment, the vac scene.

524
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 5: Job longer stole.

525
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 6: Why the can can you ask? I asked that myself.

526
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 6: The answer public domain.

527
00:31:45,120 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 3: It's the answer of most things, really, the vaccine.

528
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 6: The vaccine we have sne.

529
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 2: Get your shot right now in your arm, your mom,

530
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 2: get your shot, Mom, get your shot.

531
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: But by the way, I just wonder, like how many

532
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: of those segments had vaccine commercials from pharmaceutical companies in there,

533
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: and it's like, hey, I got you. I'll do a

534
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: big thing they.

535
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 2: Play in Stephens there sponsored by Pfizer.

536
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: Right exactly, they put this thing out. It's ten minutes

537
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: and forty nine seconds long. By the way, I say

538
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: they literally the video we just played from you was

539
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: the quote vaccine. The box set The Late Show with

540
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert. They put this out themselves and were that

541
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: proud of it.

542
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 2: No, they were proud of it. And it's it's vicious,

543
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 2: it's nasty, and it's not funny. I'm fine with a

544
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 2: comedy host that makes fun of everyone. That's you know,

545
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 2: one of my favorite movies. And we didn't include this

546
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 2: one we did on July fourth our movie section. But

547
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 2: one of my favorite movies was Team America World Police.

548
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 2: Did you ever see that?

549
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: Ben?

550
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 5: Oh?

551
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, great movie.

552
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 2: Hysterical movie, and it's done. It is. It's puppets and

553
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 2: it makes fun of both sides. It make fun of Republicans,

554
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 2: but it makes fun of democrats. And now I will

555
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 2: warn you it is profane. I had the incredibly poor

556
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 2: judgment to play this video for my in laws on

557
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 2: a family vacation, and I will tell you about nine

558
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 2: minutes into it, when they had dropped the thirty second

559
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 2: F bomb, I was like, okay, wow, this was a

560
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 2: really bad idea, and my mother in law is frowning

561
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 2: at me, and I'm like, wow, okay, never mind. But

562
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 2: unbelievably funny because it's actually comedy. It's making fun just

563
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 2: watching Stephen Colbert say I hate Donald Trump. Yes, Stephen,

564
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 2: we got you. But you know what, Stephen Colbert is

565
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 2: now unemployed.

00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,000
