1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,560 Speaker 1: Have you ever sat back and wondered, how is it 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump was elected President of the United States, 3 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 1: not once, but twice? What had to crack to break 4 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: in order for the lowest man in the whole country 5 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: to reach the highest office. It is December twenty fourth, 6 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: Christmas Eve. 7 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 2: This is the warning. 8 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,440 Speaker 1: Let's get into that question because it matters a great deal. 9 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,479 Speaker 2: The answer is simple. Trust. 10 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: It was burned to senders between who well the American 11 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: people and their government. 12 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:36,160 Speaker 2: But more than. 13 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: That, there is no institution that exists in America that 14 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: has lost more trust with the American people than perhaps 15 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: the American media, not even the government. 16 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,160 Speaker 2: Trump over and over and. 17 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: Over again has targeted the media because he understands how dishonest, 18 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: how hipoc critical, how whoa the character is, how low 19 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: the integrity bar is of an industry that he's participated in, 20 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,279 Speaker 1: that he's mastered and he's conquered. 21 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 3: And they got caught. And to me, it's the biggest 22 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 3: scandal in broadcast history. It's election interference fraud, and sixty 23 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 3: minutes should be taken off the air. They should, and 24 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 3: CBS should lose its license. You know, the government, the 25 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:39,639 Speaker 3: government gives us license to NBC fake news, ABC fake news, 26 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 3: and CBS fake news. 27 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 2: They have to They have to pay. If they had 28 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 2: to pay, they pay billions of dollars. 29 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 3: They get them for nothing, They pay nothing. 30 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: The journalism that exists today in America is no such thing. 31 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: Fox News is in journalism. Maggie Haberman isn't a journalist, 32 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: She's an access merchant. But journalism still does exist. It 33 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: exists at places like sixty Minutes. The takeover of CBS 34 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: News by David Allison, son of Larry Ellison, one of 35 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: the richest men in the world, was a corrupt act. 36 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: It was smoothed by the payment of a bribe through 37 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: the settlement of an absurdist lawsuit between Donald Trump and 38 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: CBS over a sixty Minutes piece that aired during the election, 39 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: where Trump claimed comments made by Kamala. 40 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: Harris were edited. 41 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: The suit would have been thrown out of court, but 42 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 1: the billionaire who wanted to sell the company, Sharry Redstone, 43 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: instead paid off Trump and the company was sold to 44 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: David Allison, who doesn't really want that company but wants 45 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: Warner Brothers Discovery. His father, Larry, has pledged to guarantee 46 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: his purchase of that company, which would include CNN with 47 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: forty billion of his own money. Now, when I was 48 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: a kid, the rich kids, they get a nice car. 49 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: Larry Ellison is going to give his do nothing tribute 50 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: to nepotism a forty billion dollar I don't know what 51 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: you call it, but at any rate, in order for 52 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: the merger to go through, the Trump regime must approve it. 53 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: And that is where Barry Weiss comes in. Barry Weiss 54 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: isn't a journalist, though she has a title that makes 55 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: it sound like she's won. Barry Weiss is a cast member. 56 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: Megan Kelly, just this very day is denouncing her as 57 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: being on the side of Ben Shapiro in the feud 58 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:56,119 Speaker 1: between Shapiro and Barry Weiss against Tucker Carlson and Candae 59 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: Owens and Megan Kelly and Erica Kirk. 60 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 2: That's who Barry Weiss is. 61 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,839 Speaker 1: She is a creature in the creature Containa of the 62 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: Trump Star Wars bar scene that never ever stops. 63 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 2: That's who Barry Weiss is. Now. 64 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: There have been many corrupt acts committed by the Trump administration. 65 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: There have been many insane statements made by Donald Trump. 66 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 3: In Springfield, they're eating the dogs, the people that came 67 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 3: in they're eating the cats, they're eating they're eating the 68 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 3: pets of the people that live there. And this is 69 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 3: what's happening in our country, and it's a shame. 70 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: There have been many sycophantic statements made by his cabinet officials. 71 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 2: And never would have happened if you've been president. 72 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: But this war's going on and the president is trying 73 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: to end it. Not because, listen, we got a million 74 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,799 Speaker 1: things to focus on in the world as a country, 75 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: but he's the only leader. 76 00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 2: In the world that can help end it. 77 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: And that's why we're in That's why even as we 78 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: speak to you now, Steve Woodcoff is in Moscow trying 79 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: to find a way to end this war. 80 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 2: To save lives of eight nine thousand people. Mister President's 81 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 2: you want to are dying every week. 82 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: They have lied, they have stolen, they have made the 83 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: world more dangerous. 84 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 2: But beyond everything that all. 85 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: Of them have done as individuals are together, there is 86 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: one thing that stands at They sold human beings to 87 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: a concentration camp in Al Salvador run by a dictator. 88 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: They sold them for cash. The Trump regime did it. 89 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: Donald did it. Steven Miller did it. Pam BONDI did it. 90 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: Christy nom did it. But here's the thing. They did 91 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: it in our name. And because there is a reporter, 92 00:05:54,040 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: a journalist with titanic integrity named Sharon Alfonsi of sixty minutes, 93 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 1: we know the story and though Barry Weiss tried to 94 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: spike it, it aired in Canada and now it has 95 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: been seen. I've seen it, and I know, as somebody 96 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: who has been interviewed by sixty minutes twice and appeared 97 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: on their show as a subject, I know that after 98 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: a career dealing with journalists, that the story measures up. 99 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: It meets the standards, and the tale it tells is chilling. 100 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: The reason it was spiked is because it is an 101 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: abomination what is happening, and the American people would not 102 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: react well to it. And so the American dictator, that's 103 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: what he called himself, supported by his version of state media, 104 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: the urbanized American media brought to their knees, the capitulant 105 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: leaders counting their money while the American people are misinformed 106 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: and the First Amendment is turned into a joke. Those 107 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: people have set in motion terrible events because they have 108 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: made it impossible for the American people to know what 109 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: is real, what is not, what is up, what is down? 110 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: What is right from left and left from right? And 111 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: now the bill is coming due. Understand this, my friends. 112 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: Sharon Alfonsi of sixty Minutes is one of the great 113 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: journalists in the history of that program. She has put 114 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: it all on the line to tell the truth. It's 115 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: an incredible thing to see courageous acts in a time 116 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: of cowardice. When you do appreciate them, celebrate them, receive 117 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: them as a gift. And when it comes to this 118 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: first Christmas of the Trump second presidency, maybe even a 119 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: Christmas miracle.
