Speaker 1: All right, thank you Scott Shannon, and thanks to all
Speaker 1: of you for being with us. Right down are toll
Speaker 1: free number, it's eight hundred and nine to four one, Shawn.
Speaker 1: If you want to be a part of the program,
Speaker 1: We've got Congressman Jim Jordan today will join us on
Speaker 1: the one Big Beautiful Bill, and President Trump on Capitol
Speaker 1: Hill today meeting with Republicans and trying to get this
Speaker 1: over the finish line. Also James Blair, the White House
Speaker 1: Deputy Chief of Staff for Legislative, Political and Public Affairs.
Speaker 1: He's spearheading the effort for the White House and for
Speaker 1: the President. This is very, very critical. And when I
Speaker 1: first went to the went to Congress at the start
Speaker 1: of this term, and I had the town hall with
Speaker 1: the House members and Speaker Johnson, and I had a
Speaker 1: similar town hall with senators. The first thing I say
Speaker 1: to them is everyone knows here that you're not going
Speaker 1: to get everything that you want, especially because of the
Speaker 1: arcane process that is known as reconciliation in the US Senate.
Speaker 1: Long story short, I've explained it before. I won't go
Speaker 1: into specificity in detail, but it is a procedure by
Speaker 1: which you can bypass the normal process of cloture and
Speaker 1: the need for sixty votes to pass a bill in
Speaker 1: the US Senate if it has to deal with financial
Speaker 1: issues and get by with the simple majority, which is
Speaker 1: the only way this is going to happen. I mean,
Speaker 1: it is kind of spectacular that there are Democrats that
Speaker 1: won't vote, that would vote for the largest tax increase
Speaker 1: in American history and not make the Trump tax cuts permanent.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a little mind numbing that the Party
Speaker 1: of Compassion would not vote for no tax on tips
Speaker 1: for service workers, that they would vote against tax, they
Speaker 1: would vote to tax Social Security, that they want to
Speaker 1: tax people's overtime. I mean things, Donald Trump's looking out
Speaker 1: for hard working men and women, and those are the
Speaker 1: people that really make America great. We certainly know the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party puts the rights of illegal immigrants over the
Speaker 1: safety of American citizens. We've seen that with the Prago
Speaker 1: Garcia and the likes of Senator Van Holland by the way,
Speaker 1: who got schooled by Mark or Rubio will play that
Speaker 1: later in the program today. And we know that they
Speaker 1: had a chance in the US Senate to champion women's
Speaker 1: sports and women's rights, but no, they chose to champion
Speaker 1: the right of men to play women's sports. And they're
Speaker 1: the party that's claiming what a constitutional crisis to eliminate
Speaker 1: hundreds of billions of dollars in waste, fraud, abuse, and corruption.
Speaker 1: And they are the party that won't stand for mothers
Speaker 1: that lost their children at a joint session speech. And
Speaker 1: they won't stand for young men to be cancer. And
Speaker 1: they won't stand for the wife of a slain officer
Speaker 1: hero or a young man who lost his father who
Speaker 1: gets a commission to West Point. I mean, this is
Speaker 1: how radical that they are. Likely voters from both sides
Speaker 1: of the isles say AOC. I've been telling you this
Speaker 1: for a long time. I was saying when Nancy Pelosi
Speaker 1: was Speaker that he's only speaker in name only, that
Speaker 1: it really was AOC. But now likely voters from both
Speaker 1: sides of the isles say that AOC is the new
Speaker 1: face of the Democratic Party. Bernie Sanders, Grandpa Bernie, comes
Speaker 1: in second, and Jasmine Crockett comes in third. This was
Speaker 1: in the olympiaan a plurality of Americans consider AOC to
Speaker 1: be the new face of the party. Anyway, the Coefficient Survey,
Speaker 1: twenty six percent of respondents named aoc uh and it
Speaker 1: went on to then give Grandpa Bernie twelve percent. Jasmin
Speaker 1: Crockett placed third with eight percent, Kamala Harris only garnered
Speaker 1: six percent, Pothold Pete five percent, tying Hakeem Jeffries. Then
Speaker 1: following that was Senator Corey Booker and Gavin Newsom at
Speaker 1: two percent each. Told Gavin good luck with that got
Speaker 1: something called a track record. The first group of Biden
Speaker 1: illegals have to self deport after accepting free transportation and
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars cash reward from the Trump administration. The
Speaker 1: beauty of that for them is they will have a
Speaker 1: chance to come into the country again legally. If you
Speaker 1: don't self deport, you'll never get a chance to come
Speaker 1: into this country legally. Ever again, that window will close
Speaker 1: and you'll never get into the country legally, period, end
Speaker 1: of sentence. That's just the way it's going to be.
Speaker 1: And so I give a lot. I mean, those people
Speaker 1: were smart, in my view, they were very smart to
Speaker 1: do that. I just think that they're right on target,
Speaker 1: and I think it's good for the country that you're
Speaker 1: giving them the opportunity to say, well.
Speaker 2: Why are we give them the money? We're rewarding, but.
Speaker 1: No, it's costing us a fortune for healthcare, housing, education,
Speaker 1: the criminal justice system. We're getting off, you know, eighty
Speaker 1: percent discount, given him a free plane ticket in one
Speaker 1: thousand bucks to restart their life. Lindsey Graham now has
Speaker 1: seventy two Senators backing his bill to impose bone crushing
Speaker 1: sanctions on Russia.
Speaker 2: Will hit that later.
Speaker 1: Senator Marshall Blackburn is sponsored a bill to end birth
Speaker 1: tourism by foreign nationals, which is becoming a bigger and
Speaker 1: bigger issue day by day. Got to give a tip
Speaker 1: of the hat to Home Depot as we start the
Speaker 1: program today. They won't hike prices on consumers to offset
Speaker 1: President Trump's tarifs, although that is not really materialized to
Speaker 1: the extent that they said. So, Chuck Schumer in a
Speaker 1: further decline, I mean, it's kind of hard to get
Speaker 1: further down the path than he's gone. But anyway, New
Speaker 1: York City Mayor Eric Adams has pulled the rugout from
Speaker 1: Chucky Schumer trying to blame the Trump administration for causing
Speaker 1: that Mexican Navy ship to collide with the Brooklyn Bridge,
Speaker 1: and Schumer suggests the Doge cuts to the US Coast
Speaker 1: Guard played a role in the tragedy. On Saturday, I'm
Speaker 1: fighting for answers about whether Trump and Doge have impacted
Speaker 1: water traffic control. This is like they're trying to blame
Speaker 1: the idiot, you know. Mayor Pothole Pete handed off to
Speaker 1: Sean Duffy, shy, they would shy three thousand air traffic controllers.
Speaker 1: And this is a guy that said to Sean Duffy,
Speaker 1: because I talked to Sean Duffy and interviewed Sean Duffy,
Speaker 1: that Pothole Pete said, Oh, this is a department that
Speaker 1: runs himself, that runs itself if you don't do a
Speaker 1: damn thing. And the equipment in these air traffic control
Speaker 1: centers are from the fifties and sixties. You're lucky if
Speaker 1: it's from the seventies. For crying out loud, anyway, Mayor
Speaker 1: Adams undercut Schumer's bogus conspiracy theory and claim, citing the
Speaker 1: Coastguard's full response to the ship's collision with the East
Speaker 1: River Bridge and said that the city handles crisis well
Speaker 1: during an appearance on Fox five Good Day New York
Speaker 1: and anyway, so he says, I'm not clear where the
Speaker 1: Senator got his information, but I know that we had
Speaker 1: a full response on both sides of the river.
Speaker 2: Unless the Senator knows something that I don't know.
Speaker 1: It turns out the boat lost power and there wasn't
Speaker 1: a penny cut from what he's claiming. But you know,
Speaker 1: don't expect Democrats to ever tell you the truth. There
Speaker 1: is going to be a lot of focus on this
Speaker 1: program today and a lot of focus, you know, for
Speaker 1: the rest of the week. To be very honest, the
Speaker 1: one big, beautiful bill that the President went to the
Speaker 1: Capitol today to urge Republicans to stop complaining and pass
Speaker 1: the budget bill. Look, and nobody's going to get everything
Speaker 1: they want, but this is what we are getting. The
Speaker 1: tax cuts will be made permanent, otherwise we get the
Speaker 1: largest tax increase in American history. There will be no
Speaker 1: tax on tips. You know what, When I worked in
Speaker 1: the service industry and I was a busboy, waiter, I
Speaker 1: would have loved no tax on tips. When I worked
Speaker 1: in construction, I always worked over time. I would have
Speaker 1: loved no tax on overtime. That's for working men and women. Democrats,
Speaker 1: you want to vote against it, all you'll do is
Speaker 1: confirmed to the American people what we've been saying. You
Speaker 1: are the party of out of touch coastal elites that
Speaker 1: believe in the New Green Deal, wokeism, transgenderism. You think
Speaker 1: it's a constitutional crisis to save hundreds of billions of
Speaker 1: dollars on these radical views spent overseas. You know, you
Speaker 1: champion the right of men to play women's sports. Put
Speaker 1: the rights of illegals, even illegal gang members, over the
Speaker 1: safety of Americans. You know that's the party that you are. Anyway,
Speaker 1: the President toll House Republicans that he is to drop
Speaker 1: their push for further changes to the big beautiful bill
Speaker 1: pass it this week. I think his message was a
Speaker 1: lot of good, hard negotiations have been going on. One
Speaker 1: of the outside issues happens to be salt, the state
Speaker 1: and local tax deduction. Now, when I was in New
Speaker 1: York during Trump's first term, I know I am full
Speaker 1: time in Florida. In case you haven't heard, I try
Speaker 1: to mention it as often as I can, the Free
Speaker 1: State of Laria, because I'm happy to be here and
Speaker 1: glad to be out of there. But anyway, one of
Speaker 1: the I ended up paying more taxes, even though Donald
Speaker 1: Trump cut taxes because He also cut the deduction for
Speaker 1: state and local taxes. You used to be able to
Speaker 1: deduct it all on your on your tax form, and
Speaker 1: he reduced it to ten percent, and that meant I
Speaker 1: paid more. I ended up paying more net more in taxes.
Speaker 1: But it was the right thing to do. Otherwise, you're
Speaker 1: rewarding states that elect big taxes spend governors and mayors
Speaker 1: and legislators and city councils that that's all they do.
Speaker 1: And the states that that elect fiscally responsible people, people
Speaker 1: that that don't tax and spend. There's constituents don't get
Speaker 1: this benefit. It's ridiculous. And the President was very clear,
Speaker 1: don't mess with Medicaid. Is a little salt to your language.
Speaker 1: And some conservatives are still looking for changes that would
Speaker 1: reduce federal funding for states that expanded Medicaid under Obamacare
Speaker 1: to be to cover able bodied adults. I think that
Speaker 1: provision will be taken out. Actually, I do believe that
Speaker 1: they're working on some compromise there. Somehouse Freedom CALLCUS members
Speaker 1: did not relent after the meeting seeking further changes to Medicaid,
Speaker 1: saying that the President discussed rooting out waste, fraud, and
Speaker 1: abuse in the program. Which remains their aim. I think
Speaker 1: they're going to win on that, so I think that's
Speaker 1: not going to be a problem as of now. The
Speaker 1: salt deduction, which is capped ten thousand, would go to
Speaker 1: thirty thousand in the current rendition of the bill that
Speaker 1: I'm seeing. You know, the President's got a lot of
Speaker 1: big things on his plate here and he's got to
Speaker 1: deal with Iran at the same time. And the President
Speaker 1: could have been more clear on that trip to the
Speaker 1: Middle East. Iran has a choice. They're either going to join.
Speaker 1: They're either going to give up there in Richmond, they're
Speaker 1: gonna stop pursuing nuclear weapons and they're gonna go along
Speaker 1: with the deal, or that it will be done for them.
Speaker 1: He could not have been more clearly have two choices.
Speaker 1: He was very clear numerous times, and he was very
Speaker 1: clear to these countries.
Speaker 2: I was there.
Speaker 1: I heard him say it numerous times that he wants
Speaker 1: these countries to now sign on to the Abraham Records.
Speaker 1: I think that will happen probably after the issue of
Speaker 1: Iran is decided. I do not believe the Iranians will
Speaker 1: give up enrichment. I just that's my own personal opinion.
Speaker 1: And if they don't give it up. It'll be given
Speaker 1: up for them, whether they like it or not. The
Speaker 1: President's still pushing for a deal with Russia and first
Speaker 1: getting a cease fire, and we'll see what happens without
Speaker 1: his trying. Everything he's trying to do is big. These
Speaker 1: are all big things. But this bill is so critical
Speaker 1: now I may need to deputize many of you. We
Speaker 1: did this during the election, and we put up the
Speaker 1: Kamala files and the Walls files, and we asked you,
Speaker 1: you know, to send it to your friends and your family,
Speaker 1: and your neighbors and your coworkers and anybody that you
Speaker 1: knew and put it up on social media, and many
Speaker 1: of you responded. We only had one hundred and six
Speaker 1: days to vet Kamala Harris. It was critical that so
Speaker 1: many of you get involved and if we are getting
Speaker 1: the names of people that might be getting in the way.
Speaker 1: Because again, this bill will help build out the next
Speaker 1: generation of weaponry. This bill will provide for border security
Speaker 1: and deportations. This bill will make the tax cuts permanent.
Speaker 1: It will eliminate taxes on tips, social security, and overtime.
Speaker 1: This bill will also begin the process of moving America
Speaker 1: towards energy dominance, which will help make this country rich
Speaker 1: on top of the ten trillion dollars in commitments and manufacture,
Speaker 1: especially in areas that we need for national security reasons
Speaker 1: like pharmaceuticals and semiconductors and automobiles. I mean, this will
Speaker 1: be hopefully the Golden Age. And by the way, at
Speaker 1: some point we expect the President will speak from the
Speaker 1: White House, and when he does, he's going to speak
Speaker 1: about the plans for the Golden Dome that m might
Speaker 1: go down as his greatest legacy. I think strategic defense.
Speaker 1: When you see the Iron Dome working, that's Reagan's vision
Speaker 1: that Democrats and the legacy media mob at the time
Speaker 1: were mocking Star Wars. They called it, well, a lot
Speaker 1: of Star Wars has prevented a lot of weapons from
Speaker 1: landing in places like Israel, and that was a great
Speaker 1: vision to the president. But to have one around the
Speaker 1: entire United States. I love the idea, and I think
Speaker 1: it over time, probably when we're long gone from this
Speaker 1: earth and we go home to our father, that that
Speaker 1: will probably be as the greatest legacy the president. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure what the rules are with this. When Kamala Harris,
Speaker 1: you know, paid for the endorsements for Beyonce and Springsteen
Speaker 1: and Oprah Winfrey.
Speaker 2: ETA.
Speaker 1: It's very clever how they they paid these people, because
Speaker 1: these celebrity endorsements, first of all, they're dead, They had
Speaker 1: no impact at all. The President thinks that it warrants
Speaker 1: an investigation that laws may have been broken by paying
Speaker 1: these stars Beyonce and Bruce Springsteen and Bono and Oprah anyway,
Speaker 1: because the Harris campaign previously denied this, but the FBC
Speaker 1: record show that money's went to Beyonce's production company one
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five grand. A million dollars went to
Speaker 1: Oprah Winfrey's Harpro Productions. I believe her her, but she
Speaker 1: says she didn't take a personal fee. That now there's
Speaker 1: no law explicitly banning paid endorsements. Campaign payments, however, must
Speaker 1: be properly disclosed and where they properly disclosed. And of course, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, Bruce Springsteen was called the dry that tried
Speaker 1: out proven. Did you see that? Chris Christy must have
Speaker 1: had heart palpitations. He's so in love with Bruce Springsteen.
Speaker 1: Bruce Springsteen hates him and wants nothing to do with him.
Speaker 1: That I from the last I heard. But you know
Speaker 1: one thing Not only did the state run legacy media die,
Speaker 1: but so did celebrity endorsements died because Americans don't care
Speaker 1: what they think. They just don't care, and uh they
Speaker 1: and they shouldn't care. And half these people don't know
Speaker 1: what the hell they're talking about anyway. And these are
Speaker 1: the same people that and and this goes to the
Speaker 1: heart of where we've been all week, and that is,
Speaker 1: you know, this, this whole Joe Biden cover up lie.
Speaker 1: And again, I feel sorry if Joe Biden has cancer,
Speaker 1: I really do. The idea that it's prostate cancer and
Speaker 1: it could have been detected earlier is unbelievable. But with
Speaker 1: all of that said, and we offer all the prayers
Speaker 1: in the world for him and a speedy recovery. Prostate
Speaker 1: cancer is one of the most detectable cancers. And I
Speaker 1: know so much about how protected presidents are in terms
Speaker 1: of their health. I know a lot more than the
Speaker 1: average Joe and things that I would not share on
Speaker 1: radio because I don't think I should. But I'm telling
Speaker 1: you presidents have access to the best medical care, as
Speaker 1: they should. They're the president of the most powerful country
Speaker 1: on earth, you know. But I will tell you nobody
Speaker 1: trusts any of anything of what they say, because of
Speaker 1: everything that we learned about, all the lies that they told.
Speaker 1: They they they kept his cognitive decline a secret. They
Speaker 1: all knew about it. They kept it a secret. The
Speaker 1: media all knew about it, and they kept it a secret.
Speaker 2: And this is.
Speaker 1: They created what is a clear and present danger and
Speaker 1: a national security risk for our country. And that's just
Speaker 1: that's just a simple fact.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: It's uh like the emperor has no close right. And
Speaker 1: now we have the Robert her tape and we played
Speaker 1: that on the program here yesterday. We played it on
Speaker 1: TV last night, you know, her interviews Biden and concluded
Speaker 1: that while Joe had flagrantly broken the law like comie,
Speaker 1: you know, realized Hillery broke the law, but no reasonable
Speaker 1: prosecutor would prosecute except if it was Donald Trump. Then
Speaker 1: we're going to raid mar A Lago and and go
Speaker 1: through Malania's personal items. And it's so sick, it's such
Speaker 1: a flagrant double standard. And away the tape showed that
Speaker 1: her was extremely kind. By the way, why wasn't he
Speaker 1: sworn in even though Democrats ripped me? He didn't even
Speaker 1: know when his own sun died, and he when he
Speaker 1: was told his own sun die. Then he got it
Speaker 1: wrong again, and that story kept changing and and you know,
Speaker 1: and then I will say this too because and John
Speaker 1: Stewart really kind of nailed this whole thing. And he
Speaker 1: said about Tapper, Jake Tapper was one of the people
Speaker 1: that was a denier of Joe's cognitive decline, and we
Speaker 1: have him on tape and now he's going to make
Speaker 1: money off this. And John Stewart said, Uh, these guys, Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe you should have told us what was in the
Speaker 1: book a year ago?
Speaker 2: How about four years ago?
Speaker 3: How weird it is that the News is selling you
Speaker 3: a book about news they should have told you was
Speaker 3: news a year ago for free.
Speaker 4: It's it's just fun to watch them not only continue
Speaker 4: to push the book in light of this difficult news,
Speaker 4: but to actually frame this difficult news as perhaps even
Speaker 4: more of a reason to buy this book.
Speaker 3: Some observers will say that the reporting in the book
Speaker 3: is even more important now.
Speaker 5: Yet nobody's saying that. No observers will say it's more
Speaker 5: important now. Some observers might think, do these CNN people
Speaker 5: work on commission?
Speaker 2: Like are they hawking this thing?
Speaker 4: Is this a girl scout cookie situation, who ever sells
Speaker 4: the most tap of books gets a shwin.
Speaker 2: And that is very funny. That is very funny.
Speaker 1: But I mean how the CNN journalists covered up the
Speaker 1: Biden cover up before writing a book about it. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's just so the media is so corrupt and
Speaker 1: then this this whole dubious claim and why so long,
Speaker 1: and you know, it's it's just the big lie. And
Speaker 1: they knew about all of this the whole time. They
Speaker 1: knew about it. When I first reported on it, we
Speaker 1: told the truth as usual. They lied as usual. And
Speaker 1: that's why people will never try. They're never going to
Speaker 1: trust them again. You have to earn people's trust in life,
Speaker 1: you really do. Joe Biden's White House physician worked with
Speaker 1: Jim Biden on a project that was later accused of
Speaker 1: massive medicaid fraud, according to a report Fox News July seventh,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. And anyway, James Comer wanted a question
Speaker 1: doctor Kevin O'Connor about whether his medical assessments of Biden's
Speaker 1: health have been improperly influenced by his work with the
Speaker 1: Biden family and a company called the Merricorps. Anyway, from
Speaker 1: that article, It turns out Biden's White House physician, who
Speaker 1: somehow managed to miss Biden's stage four prostate cancer until
Speaker 1: last week, used to work with the Biden family Rainmaker
Speaker 1: his brother Jim Biden. They worked together on a rural
Speaker 1: hospital project as Americrps that was eventually accused of what
Speaker 1: Politico described as quote massive Medicaid fraud, and as recently
Speaker 1: as last year, the House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer
Speaker 1: was investigating his doctor to find out whether the business
Speaker 1: relationship with the Biden family may have caused him to
Speaker 1: look the other way on Biden's health problems. I mean,
Speaker 1: what's your job anyway? From Politico, February twenty four. Jim
Speaker 1: Biden played a major role in the company Americ Corps,
Speaker 1: which the government accused of massive Medicare fraud. At least
Speaker 1: three of Joe's relatives did work with Americrps. They included
Speaker 1: Jim Biden's wife and his son, and the President's son
Speaker 1: Hunter also met with the CEO and his personal doctor.
Speaker 1: Current White House physician Kevin O'Connor joined a meeting with
Speaker 1: Jim Biden and the president of a hospital being acquired
Speaker 1: by Americrps and James Comer's demanded the White House physician
Speaker 1: appear before Congress to answer questions, while also revealing the
Speaker 1: doctor has been involved in the Biden family business dealings,
Speaker 1: and Comer wanted to know whether O'Connor's medical assessments of
Speaker 1: the presidents have been improperly influenced by his work with
Speaker 1: the Biden family and the company AMERICRPS. I mean, our
Speaker 1: long national nightmare is over. This was a nightmare, you know,
Speaker 1: President Trump warning the Biden's cancer cover up was dangerous
Speaker 1: for the country. Well, his cognitive cover up was dangerous
Speaker 1: for the country. You don't have to be a genius
Speaker 1: to figure all this out, you really don't. That's incredible.
Speaker 1: That's what they're doing. By the way, RFK Junior just
Speaker 1: just ripping the World Health Organization for caving to China
Speaker 1: on COVID and celebrating pandemic failures in a stunning video.
Speaker 1: And thank god we're out of the who We're not
Speaker 1: funding it anymore. I don't think we should be supporting
Speaker 1: any and I mean any globalist organization, none at all, whatsoever.
Speaker 1: I think that's got to end. Hillary Clinton is floating Obama,
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton running for third terms if Trump runs again.
Speaker 1: I'm all for that. I don't think Donald Trump really planned.
Speaker 1: I think Donald Trump likes the troll. I think he's
Speaker 1: having fun with it because they bubble and fizz like Alca,
Speaker 1: saltz aer and water, and it's just fun to watch.
Speaker 1: It's so predictable at this point, and I think he
Speaker 1: enjoys it. Federal charges filed against a Democratic congresswoman following
Speaker 1: this confrontation at this ice facility. This is in New Jersey,
Speaker 1: where the acting US Attorney Lena Habba is charging Representative
Speaker 1: La Monica McLever. McLever, is I don't say the person's
Speaker 1: name of alleged misconduct, mcclaver.
Speaker 2: How do you say it? You can say it on air.
Speaker 2: Mc iver, Monica mcgever. You're messing it up, too, so
Speaker 2: you're not any help. I am not messing it up.
Speaker 2: You just totally messed it up. I did not. You
Speaker 2: don't even know for sure that it's mackaiver. You're guessing
Speaker 2: the way I'm guessing. Let's call her an idiot. That's
Speaker 2: what she is.
Speaker 1: That's fine, okay, the idio congresswoman from New Jersey.
Speaker 2: Is that how you'd like me to refer to her,
Speaker 2: I would actually thank you, I would actually would you please.
Speaker 1: Anonymous Democrats confess the Time magazine their party is too
Speaker 1: extreme on abortion and trans athletes. They're so afraid of
Speaker 1: AOC the squad Jasmine, Crockett and Bernie that they don't
Speaker 1: want to come out by the way, Oh, let's play.
Speaker 1: James Comy is eighty six forty seven post. He claims
Speaker 1: he's the victim.
Speaker 2: Listen to this. He was on MSDNC.
Speaker 6: I don't know how we ended up here. Never occurred
Speaker 6: to me that it was any kind of controversial thing,
Speaker 6: but that's the time of it.
Speaker 2: So take me back to the walk on the beach.
Speaker 6: If we were walking on the beach.
Speaker 2: We went to the beach to prepare.
Speaker 6: For this week, which was the launch of my book,
Speaker 6: and to think about the book and to prepare to
Speaker 6: ask answer questions about it.
Speaker 2: Walking back towards the road.
Speaker 6: And we saw in the sand someone had arranged shells
Speaker 6: with numbers, and Patrice, my wife, said, why would someone
Speaker 6: put an address in the sand?
Speaker 2: And I said, I don't know.
Speaker 6: And we stood over it and I said, you know,
Speaker 6: I think it's some kind of like political message, and
Speaker 6: she said, you know, eighty six.
Speaker 2: When I was a server.
Speaker 6: She did a lot of working in restaurants. Meant to
Speaker 6: remove an item from the menu when you ran out
Speaker 6: of ingredients, And I said, well, to me, as a kid,
Speaker 6: it always meant to leave a place to.
Speaker 2: Ditch a place.
Speaker 6: I said, that's really clever. So then she said you
Speaker 6: should take a picture of that, and I did, and
Speaker 6: I posted it on my Instagram account and thought nothing
Speaker 6: more of it until I heard through her that people
Speaker 6: were saying it was some sort of a call for assassination,
Speaker 6: which is crazy. But I took it down. Even if
Speaker 6: I think it's crazy. I don't want to be associated
Speaker 6: with violence of any kind. It's hard to have regret
Speaker 6: about something that, even in hindsight, looks to me to
Speaker 6: be totally innocent by somebody. I actually didn't think of
Speaker 6: it as political speech by me, but I thought, what
Speaker 6: a clever way to express a political view. The shells
Speaker 6: were the same for each of the letters, so different
Speaker 6: colors for the letters.
Speaker 2: It took a lot of work.
Speaker 6: Somebody with artistic flair did that, and I have a
Speaker 6: hard time believing it was anybody with a dark intention,
Speaker 6: and it certainly was no dark intention on my part.
Speaker 2: But he thought it was a political message.
Speaker 1: His interpretation of the word eighty six is to ditch
