Oh, it's such a historic moment black Indian woman, 29 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: What a moment for women across America. I just let's 30 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: just all pause for one or two seconds here and 31 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: consider the profundity of what we just heard. God bless America, 32 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: a country that is capable of letting a black woman 33 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: announce that she got her ass kicked. 34 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 2: Glass ceiling shattered. 35 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: I hope Hillary Clinton was watching with her Presidential Medal 36 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 1: of Honor just provided by Joe Biden. We didn't even 37 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: talk about that, by the way, Joe Biden deciding to 38 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: give the Presidential Medal of Honor to Hillary Clinton and 39 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: George Soros and Lionel Messi and Messi was like, I'm 40 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: not showing up soccer player. I don't know what he 41 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: did to deserve a Presidential Medal of honor. Miami's not 42 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 1: even that good in soccer. To my understanding. He came 43 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: here to finish his career. I don't blame him. Miami's 44 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: not a bad place to live. But I just thought 45 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: that was fantastic. So that has just happened four years 46 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: after the worst day since the Holocaust according to Sonny Hostin, 47 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: when America nearly collapsed according to Joe Biden, worst day 48 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: since the Civil War according to Kamala and Joe Biden. 49 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: We now have the official electoral vote count. Two weeks 50 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: from today, Donald Trump will be elected president of the 51 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: United States, and Trump is also weighing in on Canada. 52 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: So earlier today, Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, stepped down. 53 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 2: This was just posted by Donald Trump. 54 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: Many people in Canada love being the fifty first state. 55 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: The United States can no longer suffer the massive trade 56 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: deficits and subsidies that Canada needs to stay afloat. Justin 57 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: Trudeau knew this and resigned. If Canada merged with the 58 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: United States, there would be no tariffs, taxes would go 59 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: way down, and they would be totally secure from the 60 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: threat of Russian and Chinese ships that are constantly surrounding them. 61 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: Together. What a great nation it would be. 62 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: Now this is initially Trump made jokes about Justin Trudeau 63 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,839 Speaker 1: becoming the governor of the fifty first state. But when 64 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: you consider Trump's interest in Greenland, which actually from a 65 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: real estate perspective, is one hundred percent logical because the 66 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: shipping routes in the vicinity of Greenland are becoming more 67 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: and more through the Arctic Circle, are becoming more and 68 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: more traversible, and therefore having an asset like Greenland for 69 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: resupply makes a lot of sense. That is, according to 70 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 1: people who know way more about Arctic shipping lanes than me, 71 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: They say Greenland is actually very, very valuable and becoming increasingly 72 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: more valuable as it is becoming easier to push ships 73 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: through for longer periods of time in that direction from 74 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: east to west and vice versa. Okay, He's also arguing 75 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: that the Panama Canal, which has initially built and owned 76 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: by the United States, Panama now has control over it, 77 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: that we need to assert more control over that shipping 78 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: route because, in Trump's words, we are being extorted. I 79 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 1: don't again know enough about shipping rates. Some of you, 80 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: I bet are in fact experts on Panama City. I'm 81 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: not even kidding about this. I bet many of you 82 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: out there listening are actually experts on both Arctic shipping 83 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: channels as well as the Panama Panama Canal shipping, because 84 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: so much of it goes to the cost of goods, 85 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: and if you're bringing things from east to West and 86 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: vice versa, it matters to such an extent. So I 87 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: bet many of you have had experiences dealing with that. 88 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: But I think if you combine them all, there is, 89 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: as Trump is coming into office, very much of an 90 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: expansionist element of Donald Trump's vision for the United States 91 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: such that I'm not sure we have seen in a 92 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: long time. In fact, here's a history assignment for the crew. 93 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: What was the last property territory that the United States acquired? 94 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: I lived in the US Virgin Islands. My recollection is 95 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: that in around nineteen seventeen, the United States acquired the 96 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 1: territories of the United States Virgin Islands for shipping related 97 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: purposes in the vicinity of the World War One from Denmark. 98 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: I think that's correct. Have we added any and I 99 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: know when Alaska and Hawaii became states, but that was 100 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: in the forties, if I'm remembering correctly, But those were 101 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: already territories of the United States at the time. Have 102 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,239 Speaker 1: we added any territories to the United States footprint since 103 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: the nineteen teens, because everybody out there, initially they ridiculed 104 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: the idea of acquiring greenland, But anybody who has actually 105 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: studied history knows that acquiring property from foreign governments was 106 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: actually the hallmark of American manifested destiny for much of 107 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: our history. Eighteen o three, again getting a little bit 108 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: of a history lesson this all off the top of 109 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: my head. Eighteen oh three, we purchased from the French 110 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: the Louisiana purchase Thomas Jefferson did, which was the most 111 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: of all expansionist moves. In eighteen ninety eight, obviously we 112 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: had the Spanish American War and added I remember, I believe, 113 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: Puerto Rico and other assets in the Caribbean. At that 114 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: time Gadsden purchase. Eighteen forty six to forty eight, we 115 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: had the war with Mexico, which led to the annexation 116 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: of substantial lands in the American Southwest. Seward's folly was 117 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: the purchase of That's what they called it when Teward 118 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: purchased Alaska, which now looks like one of the most 119 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: brilliant purchase decisions of all time based on the natural 120 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: resources in Alaska. I think that was in the sixties, 121 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, the eighteen sixties. So I've put 122 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: given everybody a historical assignment. My point here is what 123 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: Trump is arguing for, and some of. 124 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 2: This is laughable, right. 125 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: I don't think the Canadians want to be the fifty 126 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: first state, and frankly, I don't know that we want 127 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: Canada as the fifty first state, because if you actually 128 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: run through the permutations of that, Canada would put two 129 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: left leaning senators by and large, typically at least into 130 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: the United States in the same way that Puerto Rico 131 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: would likely do so and Washington, d C would likely 132 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: do so, And so I think as you break all 133 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: of that down, I'm not sure that that necessarily makes 134 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: rational sense. But again, I think this is a bargaining 135 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: chip being floated by Trump as it pertains the tariffs 136 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: and international trade agreements that pertain to the United States 137 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: and Canada. I do think though Greenland acquiring it could 138 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: be a very smart historic move relative to the direction 139 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: that historic shipping roots are being opened up in the 140 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: Arctic area, and there is increased value with Greenland. And remember, 141 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: of all the things you could criticize Trump for, I 142 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 1: think real estate would be almost the last on the list. 143 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: The guy has got an incredible eye when it comes 144 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: to buying real estate assets. Anybody who's been to mar 145 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: A Lago and I've been several times, mar A Lago 146 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: might be worth a billion dollars now, And some of 147 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: you out there are gonna say, what are you talking about? 148 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 2: A billion? 149 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 4: Does? 150 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: Have you seen what properties sell for war in Palm 151 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: Beach now mar A Lago I believe is eighteen acres. 152 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: Rush had a house in mar A Lago that just 153 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: sold for over one hundred million dollars. I've never been there. 154 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 1: I've heard it's a beautiful place. I think some of 155 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: the staff have been there before. But his individual residence 156 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: just sold for one hundred million dollars. It's nowhere near 157 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: the property size, or the scope or the ambiance of 158 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: mar A Lago. And then you look, and I've been 159 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: to a lot of the Trump golf courses all over 160 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: the world. They're incredible, phenomenal jewel assets. Trump has an 161 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: eye for those. And if you maybe have ever walked 162 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: past Trump Tower, kind of a pretty good location. 163 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 2: Have you had to pick anywhere to be? 164 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: So all of that is a sign that he has 165 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: a pretty good eye for real date, and I do 166 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: think as he's now been certified, the electoral votes have 167 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: been counted, Kamala Harris, historic moment for black women everywhere 168 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: to officially announce her own defeat.

Canada, the 174 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: fifty first Canada as the fifty first state is really funny. 175 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: But I think he's just continuing to gig a bit 176 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: Canadians as he gets ready to now have a conservative 177 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: prime minister, Pierre Polyev it appears, is going to be 178 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: taking over in Canada to interact with it, and i'd 179 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: encourage you, by the way, to go subscribe to the podcast, 180 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: make sure you don't miss a moment.

They were all terrified of being called 229 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: election deniers. Lots of them objected in two thousand, Lots 230 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: of them objected in two thousand and four, lots of 231 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: them objected in twenty sixteen. Not one single Democrat objected 232 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: to Donald Trump's landslide twenty twenty four election because they 233 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: were afraid of being dragged all through social media and 234 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: the media streets. If they had done so, which is 235 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: some form of a victory, I would say, I wanted 236 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: to play this speaking of a victory. Last week on Friday, 237 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: I shared with you that ESPN chose not to show 238 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: the moment of silence or the national anthem, the USA 239 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: chance Notre Dame running on the field with the American 240 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: flag in the immediate aftermath of the New Orleans terror attack. 241 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: They didn't show that on Thursday. We talked about it 242 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: on the program Friday. Well, the impact resonated in a 243 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: big way. Many of you out there were furious at ESPN. 244 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: I also on Saturday talked to people at CBS, NBC, Fox, 245 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: Every network could not believe that ESPN chose not to 246 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: show that national anthem, not to show the moment of 247 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: silence for the terror victims. 248 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 2: So on. 249 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: Sunday when the NFL played, every single network showed CBS, NBC, 250 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: and Fox showed the moment of silenceationwide for the terror attack. 251 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: I had the team clip it because I do think 252 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: this is significant. Sometimes people say, Okay, what is the impact? 253 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: How do you change things? If you point out things 254 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: like this and you get attention on it the right 255 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: people can ultimately look around and say, yeah, that's ridiculous, 256 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: that's indefensible. Let's make sure that we don't make that 257 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: error again. This is what it sounded like before the 258 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Tampa, 259 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: first game the Saints have played since the terror attack 260 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: on Bourbon Street. 261 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 5: Listen earlier this week, our nation experienced a horrific act 262 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 5: of violence with heartbreaking tragedy in New Orleans. Our hearts 263 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 5: are with the New Orleans community, including the brave first responders. 264 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 5: At this time, please stand and join us in a 265 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 5: moment of silent reflection and memory of the victims, their 266 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 5: families and loved ones. Thank you. 267 00:16:59,560 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 2: Fox. 268 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 1: Fox Sports played that nationwide again before the Saints game. Now, 269 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: I don't have a perfect I didn't get to write 270 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: what they're gonna read. Instead of saying it a violent act, 271 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: I would say it's a terror attack. So That's not 272 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: the exact phrasing that I would choose if I were 273 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: in charge of what the Tampa Bay Buccaneers said in 274 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 1: their statement. But I do think it's an important win 275 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: that NBC, CBS, and Fox all uniformly rejected the decision 276 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: made by ESPN to not show the moment of silence, 277 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: to not show the national anthem, to not show the 278 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: American flag. Every single one of them rejected it and 279 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 1: showed all those things on Sunday, small memorial to those 280 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 1: who the fourteen individuals innocent who were murdered in cold 281 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: blood by an awful, deranged ISIS terrorist. It's important that 282 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 1: we not forget what that guy did, and we don't 283 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 1: forget the people whose lives he took from us. And 284 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: I think this show and others who pointed that out 285 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: had a substantial impact in the way they handle that 286 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: games much less significant than what happened. But the games 287 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: will continue, and they start on Thursday, College Football Playoff Game, Friday, 288 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: College Football Playoff Game, NFL Playoffs, Saturday, Sunday, Monday.

He's not particularly gung ho about all the 307 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 1: topics on this show. He's very interested in what's going 308 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: to happen in the NFL Draft. Tennessee Titans, worst team, 309 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 1: my team in the NFL. They now have the number 310 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: one pick. But I do want to say this because 311 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,640 Speaker 1: his mom listens and he may hear this with Mom 312 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,719 Speaker 1: playing it. He got his tonsils out today. So I 313 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: was at the hospital or the surgery center with him 314 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: earlier this morning, and he was a real trooper and 315 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 1: he got his tonsils out, and so he is eating 316 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: abundant amounts of ice cream right now. And I want 317 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: to tell Nash, who may well be overhearing because Mom 318 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: listens to the program, that I was very impressed with 319 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 1: how brave he was getting his tonsils out.

NBC News call 336 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 2: it an amazing transition. 337 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: NBC News, Do you guys remember when June I went 338 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: back and because I wanted to reread it, Buck and 339 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: I came on and we were talking about all of 340 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: the videos of Joe Biden in the summer which were 341 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: going viral that clearly demonstrated he did and have the 342 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 1: mental and physical capacity to be president. 343 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 2: This is before the June twenty seventh debate, and. 344 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 1: It kind of got lost in the shuffle because Biden 345 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: got completely obliterated June twenty seventh by Trump, and then 346 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: on July thirteenth, the assassin tried to kill Trump and 347 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: Butler Pennsylvania, and so people forget what they attempted to argue, 348 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: but they tried to trot out the idea that anything 349 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 1: that suggested Biden wasn't able to be president was a 350 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: cheap fake. Do you remember that little phrase that Christine 351 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: Jean Pierre KJP tried to put out into the public. 352 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: Everybody went and ran with it, including NBC News, which 353 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: accused me in an article some of you may remember 354 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: this of being a disinformation expert misinformation disinformation. They kind 355 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: of rolled all those together because I was sharing videos 356 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: on social media which suggested that Joe Biden might not 357 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: be able to do the job of president now or 358 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: for another four years, and I wanted to just demonstrate 359 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: how much things have changed. I know a lot of 360 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: you remember this, but yesterday on Meet the Press, Kristen Welker, 361 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: who now hosts Meet the Press, was actually out there 362 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 1: and she decided she was gonna quiz Chuck Schumer about it. 363 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: But first in back in June, late June, NBC News 364 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: wrote an entire article accusing me of spreading cheap fakes, 365 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: and I wanted to share with you because I thought 366 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: it was interesting. 367 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 2: They asked me for a comment. This was on June. 368 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 1: Fourteenth, just two weeks, less than two weeks until they 369 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 1: would air the debate and then everybody would suddenly suddenly say, oh, 370 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: you know, Biden can't do this. NBC News asked me 371 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: for a comment and they said he was sharp as 372 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: attack and I shared this comment with them, which they 373 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: did not include in the article. 374 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 2: Kind of poor journalism. My comment for them was, Joe 375 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 2: Biden has dementia and isn't fit to be president. Pretending 376 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 2: otherwise is a lie. That was me to NBC News 377 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 2: on June fourteenth of last year, when they accused me 378 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 2: of spreading cheap fake videos. Well, now here was Chuck 379 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 2: Schumer around that same time telling all Americans that Joe 380 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 2: Biden was sharp as attack. 381 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 6: Listen, I talked to President Biden, you know, regularly, or 382 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 6: sometimes several times. 383 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 2: In a week. 384 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 6: Well usually several times in a week. His mental acuity 385 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 6: is great, it's fine, It's as good as it's been 386 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 6: over the years. All this right wing propaganda that his 387 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 6: mental acuity has declined is wrong. 388 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: Right wing propaganda, Chuck Schumer called it, which is not 389 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: much different than what NBC News was also calling it. Well, 390 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: now Biden's out. Trump is coming in. Kristen Welker, who 391 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: runs NBC's Meet the Press, had Chuck Schumer on played 392 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: him that video and this is what it sounded like. 393 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 4: Rich Schumer, what do you say to Americans who feel 394 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 4: as though you and other top Democrats misled them about 395 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 4: President Biden's mental accounty. 396 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 6: Look, we didn't, and let's look. Let's look at President Biden. 397 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 6: He's had an amazing record. The legislation we passed one 398 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:35,719 Speaker 6: of the most significant groups of legislation since the new 399 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 6: since Lyndon Johnson's Great Society, putting in two hundred and 400 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 6: thirty five judges a record, and he's a patriot, he's 401 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 6: a great guy. And when he stepped down, he did 402 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 6: it on his own because he thought it was better 403 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 6: not only for the Democratic Party, for the America. We 404 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 6: should all salute him. We should all salute him. 405 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 2: Okay. 406 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: Then she followed up by saying, do you think he's 407 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: capable of being president for four more years? And Schumer 408 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: said he wasn't going to get engaged in hypotheticals. Okay, 409 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 1: My question for Kristen Welker. You're at NBC News. You 410 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: are part of the organization that accused me and others 411 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: in print or at least digital print. It's still up 412 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 1: online at nbcnews dot com of spreading cheap fakes for 413 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 1: saying that we did not believe Joe Biden was capable 414 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: of being president. And here was evidence of videos which 415 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: were not fake, they were real of Joe Biden clearly 416 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: incompetent and unable to do his job. 417 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 2: When is NBC News going to apologize? 418 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: It's one thing to say, oh, I'm going to hold 419 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer accountable for what he said. Okay, When are you, 420 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: as a news network going to acknowledge that you also 421 00:25:54,880 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 1: spread propaganda arguing that Joe Biden was totally fine to 422 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: be president. If you wonder why legacy media has lost 423 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:09,239 Speaker 1: so much credibility out there, it's not because they just 424 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: don't ask tough questions of Democrats. 425 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 2: It's because they. 426 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 1: Actually are working alongside of Democrats to spread propaganda. And 427 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: this is how stories get laundered, and it's really important 428 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,880 Speaker 1: and it should be talked about way more. Most reporters 429 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: don't work that hard. Okay, most people in journalism. Journalism 430 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 1: don't actually work that hard. I know, I've worked in 431 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 1: media a long time. They take something that you sent 432 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 1: to them as a press release, they rewrite it, they 433 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 1: hit publish on it. It's easy for them. They don't 434 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 1: have to do any work. Actual real reporting is really difficult, 435 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 1: and most people don't want to work that hard at 436 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 1: their jobs. So you have a lot of people, do 437 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: you know how they get story ideas? Campaigns or political 438 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: parties go to a journalist and they say, hey, here, 439 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: let me just those of you on video. Let me 440 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: just lay down all this information, PLoP right on your desk. 441 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: This is what so and so reporters said, and this 442 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: is what so and so candidate said on so and 443 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 1: so day. 444 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 2: All we want you. 445 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 1: To do is write this story attacking our opponent, because 446 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: then we can say, hey, the New York Times says, 447 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: CNN says, The Washington Post says. They launder attacks through 448 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: the newspaper, through the media companies, and then they use 449 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: those attacks, which they conveyed to then justify the attack 450 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 1: in the first place. It's really diabolical and it's very underhanded, 451 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 1: and I don't think most people really think about how 452 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 1: these stories come to be. It's not random investigator reporter 453 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,119 Speaker 1: out there being like, oh, I wonder maybe I'll just 454 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: call on my own and see if there's anything to this. No, 455 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: you actually saw it a little bit. I thought the 456 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: Pete Hegseth story where they tried to go after him 457 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,919 Speaker 1: and say, Pete Hegseth was never admitted to West Point 458 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: and he didn't even apply. Do you think that's something 459 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: that they just thought of on their own. No, somebody 460 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: tipped them off, and they tried to do an attack 461 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: through the media using West Point, and probably whoever on 462 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: the Democrat side tipped them off using that news organization. 463 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: So they could then circle back around and share it. 464 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: It's wandering. You know how you wander money. You go in, 465 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: you take dirty money and you take it to a 466 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: place where you hope you can turn it into clean money, 467 00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: and then you pull it out on the other side 468 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: and you act like you had nothing to do with it. 469 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: You're like, oh, look all this money, this is actually 470 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: what really goes on at casinos. 471 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 2: You ever wonder. 472 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: How some people in casinos have so much cash. Sometimes 473 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: they're just really rich, Like there's lots of really rich people, 474 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: there's also a lot of laundering. Guy comes in there 475 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 1: with one hundred grand in cash, sits down at the 476 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 1: blackjack table. You're gonna win almost half the time. Maybe 477 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: you'll lose a few thousand dollars. You get it back 478 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: in comps. Then you get a ticket. If you make 479 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: over ten thousand dollars, they give it back to you 480 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: and they say, oh, look you won x amount of dollars. 481 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 2: Oh wow, now that's clean money. You can explain where 482 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 2: it came from. 483 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 1: They do that with stories. They wander stories all the time. 484 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: It'd be one thing if they put out their own 485 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: press release and they directly attacked at least it would 486 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: be honest.

And I just remember after January sixth, 589 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 4: you had someone like Mitch McConnell placing the blame on 590 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 4: January sixth where it belonged squarely on Donald Trump's shoulders. 591 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,760 Speaker 4: And then you started seeing people backtrack that and losing 592 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 4: their moral center. You had Condoaliza Rice I believe, on 593 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 4: this very show saying, you know, we need to move 594 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,360 Speaker 4: on from January sixth.
