Speaker 1: Well, we have come in your city. Wanna way I get,
Speaker 1: Tom saying you a conscious cell will I besire, I'm
Speaker 1: a Jean.
Speaker 2: And if you want a little banging a yuni, I
Speaker 2: come along. And those remarks there I counted called you
Speaker 2: a communist eight times?
Speaker 1: Are you no?
Speaker 2: I'm a democratic socialist.
Speaker 1: I've said that time and again.
Speaker 2: I mean, here's to do list I think just says
Speaker 2: golf attack black women, attack enemies, alienate our allies, there
Speaker 2: is no insurrection, there is no threat to national security,
Speaker 2: and there is no need for military troops in our
Speaker 2: major city.
Speaker 1: Fradom is back in style. Welcome to the coming to
Speaker 1: your norta way I get and saying you a conscious sill.
Speaker 2: On Hennity Show, more behind the scenes information on freaking news,
Speaker 2: and more bold inspired solutions for America. All right, thank
Speaker 2: you Scott Shannon, Thanks to all of you for being
Speaker 2: with us. Write Down are toll free telephone number you
Speaker 2: want to be a part of this extravaganza, It's eight
Speaker 2: hundred and ninety four to one, Sean if you want
Speaker 2: to be a part of the program. Government Shutdown live
Speaker 2: stream hosted by House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries this week
Speaker 2: received at moments just a few dozen viewers, according to
Speaker 2: a report What an embarrassment Anyway. Jefferies live stream featured
Speaker 2: a rotating cast of Democratic House members and quote influencers,
Speaker 2: including one person with more than thirteen million followers on TikTok,
Speaker 2: and it became an almost instant joke among Republicans and
Speaker 2: a huge source of embarrassment among Democrats, as Jeffries has
Speaker 2: struggled to pull in even a handful of viewers on Tuesday.
Speaker 2: According to Politico, look, Jeffries is just he's not resonating.
Speaker 2: I could say for a certainty that this is this
Speaker 2: is Chucky Schumer's last rodeo. He's been out maneuvered by AOC.
Speaker 2: And then we'll get to this later because AOC, you know,
Speaker 2: scoffs at the idea that this is about her or
Speaker 2: that Chuck is acting in the way he's acting and
Speaker 2: going against everything he's ever stated publicly in terms of
Speaker 2: how he feels about government shutdowns, and it is about her.
Speaker 2: It's all about her, It's all about the radicalization of
Speaker 2: this this extreme Democratic party, and Chuck Schumer, you know,
Speaker 2: so desperately wants to cling onto power and relevancy and
Speaker 2: has just this blind political ambition that he will do
Speaker 2: and say anything for the purpose of staying in power.
Speaker 2: It's there's the people are just not interested. I mean
Speaker 2: that just a couple of dozen viewers watching the YouTube stream,
Speaker 2: according to a Politico senior national politics correspondent, Adam Wrenn.
Speaker 2: Later in the evening, Democrats said thirty five thousand people
Speaker 2: tuned in to watch Jefferies, but based on YouTube Democrats
Speaker 2: peaked at around a thousand, and in times there was
Speaker 2: only a couple of dozen others. One of the big
Speaker 2: issues that has emerged here is the big lie, and
Speaker 2: the big lie is that Democrats are out there saying
Speaker 2: oh no, no, no, no, no, absolutely we are not
Speaker 2: in any way fighting to fund healthcare, taxpayer funded healthcare
Speaker 2: for illegals. As Senator Mike Johnson, he just schooled Georgie Stephanopolis.
Speaker 2: Georgie Stephanopolis has always been a political hack. I mean
Speaker 2: to go back watch the show The war Room. It
Speaker 2: was about Bill Clinton's rise to power. And there's Or
Speaker 2: in his denim jacket, long hair, acting cool, thinking he's cool,
Speaker 2: and he's yelling at a reporter. You know, God forbid
Speaker 2: they tell the truth about Clinton and I think it
Speaker 2: was Jennifer Flowers at the time. He'll they'll be ruined,
Speaker 2: They'll never be able to work in that town ever again.
Speaker 1: A strong arm you effects with names of justice, phone
Speaker 1: numbers of who you in an affair with. It wouldn't
Speaker 1: make it true, I guarantee you. But if you do this,
Speaker 1: the might you'll never work in down politics again, because
Speaker 1: maybe you don't want to. I'm not saying it matters.
Speaker 1: You will be embarrassed before the national press.
Speaker 2: School sounds like a threat to me anyway. So there
Speaker 2: is a big lie that is going on. There was
Speaker 2: a great moment on Fox and Friends this morning. My
Speaker 2: friend Lawrence Jones LJ as I call him LJ, was
Speaker 2: interviewing Democratic Senator Janine Shaheen. I'd play it, except it's
Speaker 2: not really it's not really audio friendly. It's we can
Speaker 2: show it on TV tonight. And he you know, she says,
Speaker 2: I haven't heard anybody in my party saying illegal should
Speaker 2: get taxpayer funded healthcare. Well, then Lawrence Jones rolls a
Speaker 2: tape of all the Democratic nominees that wanted to be
Speaker 2: the candidate, ask the question, how many of you support
Speaker 2: taxpayer funded healthcare for illegal immigrants. They all raise their hand,
Speaker 2: all of them. More importantly, not only did Speaker Johnson
Speaker 2: go on with Georgie on ABC Disney, but then he
Speaker 2: went on fake news CNN and said CNN is not
Speaker 2: a news organization. They called off Republicans press conference to
Speaker 2: censor the truth from the American people and lie about
Speaker 2: indisputable facts. And he points out on page fifty seven
Speaker 2: of the Democrat's own bill, they insist we restore two
Speaker 2: hundred billion dollars in healthcare subsidies for illegal immigrants. I mean,
Speaker 2: he says it, ro Kanna says it, Maxine Waters says it.
Speaker 2: They're all letting the cat out of the back. I
Speaker 2: don't think they're doing it purposefully. I think they're doing it.
Speaker 2: You know, you have Pocahonta say it's a flat out
Speaker 2: lie that illegal immigrants get assistants. No, they do, and
Speaker 2: this is what they've advocated for, and they can't hide
Speaker 2: from their very own you know, policy requests. Another funny moment,
Speaker 2: and I'll play it later. It's not worth playing now
Speaker 2: and interrupting the flow of our monologue. But Hakeem Jeffries
Speaker 2: was asked and sidestep a question about withholding his own paycheck.
Speaker 2: I mean, understand here they claim that they care about
Speaker 2: the people. They don't claim about the people. They don't
Speaker 2: care about the people, and then when asked about it, well,
Speaker 2: the question is not even the right one, because we're
Speaker 2: anticipating this shutdown will be resolved well in advance of
Speaker 2: our next paycheck, which is, as you know, members of
Speaker 2: Congress are paid on a monthly basis now the earliest
Speaker 2: this thing that I see stopping. And although there may
Speaker 2: be enough Democrats that understand that the Schumer shutdown is
Speaker 2: a disaster, I mean the fact that the Speaker of
Speaker 2: the House has a TV screen outside of his office
Speaker 2: with Democrats on a loop, you know, talking about the
Speaker 2: dangers in the horrors and how wrong and reprehensible it
Speaker 2: is to have a government shutdown as hilarious. Now, this
Speaker 2: is this is why it's kind of a joke that
Speaker 2: AOC is saying that the Schumer shutdown it's not about me.
Speaker 2: But then she further goes on to say, but if
Speaker 2: people want to negotiate with me, you can come to
Speaker 2: my office and will negotiate. Nancy Pelosi had to fit
Speaker 2: over that. I'll play that later in the program too.
Speaker 2: He snapped at a reporter after being asked whether the
Speaker 2: GOP should negotiate the shutdown with AOC. What have I've
Speaker 2: been saying for years is that Nancy Pelosi back in
Speaker 2: the day was speaker in name only. The real power
Speaker 2: within the Democratic Party as a caucus did lie with
Speaker 2: AOC in the squad. Now we can expand it out
Speaker 2: and you can add you know, people like Kasman Krockett,
Speaker 2: But the squad AOC, the radical left, the Democratic Socialists
Speaker 2: that they are. They are the heart and soul of
Speaker 2: the Democratic Party. And now Chuck Schumer, if he wants
Speaker 2: to even temporarily remain in his position as the House Speaker,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, as as the House Minority leader, not the
Speaker 2: House Speaker, as the Senate Minority leader, he has to
Speaker 2: do something he never wanted to do. You know, the
Speaker 2: idea that they think that they can get the support
Speaker 2: of the American people by demagoguing it. No, that's not
Speaker 2: how this is going to work. You know, when you
Speaker 2: think about what their demand is one point five trillion
Speaker 2: dollars in new government spending we have we're going on
Speaker 2: thirty eight trillion dollars in debt in this country. Donald
Speaker 2: Trump is trying to get a hold of reckless spending.
Speaker 2: That's what DOGE one point zero is all about. I
Speaker 2: think we're entering a phase that I rightly characterized from
Speaker 2: the beginning what would likely turn into DOGE two point zero.
Speaker 2: And they have no compunctions about robbing from future generations,
Speaker 2: and they don't even want to discuss that aspect of it.
Speaker 2: But it is the results of politics driven demands by
Speaker 2: the far left in this country, and they were not
Speaker 2: elected for this. Now, when I said that this has
Speaker 2: the opportunity and all the possibility of turning into Dose
Speaker 2: two point zero, is not wrong. Even the Washington Post
Speaker 2: later like the next day, echoed my comments in an
Speaker 2: editorial that they put out and that was yesterday, that
Speaker 2: the Democratic Party may have been led right into a
Speaker 2: trap by their far left wing for refusing to avert
Speaker 2: this government shut down, and how the Congressional Progressive Caucus
Speaker 2: and other progressives, you know, force Senator Chucky Schumer who
Speaker 2: abandon a deal that could have kept the government open,
Speaker 2: leaving Democrats at the mercy of President Donald Trump. And
Speaker 2: then they go on to further explain in detail what
Speaker 2: does this mean. Although the Democratic base may be tempted
Speaker 2: to play hardball politics. It should see that the Freedom
Speaker 2: Caucus's tactics, you know, because this is something that they
Speaker 2: would do. And I'm not saying it was right or wrong.
Speaker 2: I think they were rooted in principle, Like I assume
Speaker 2: the socialists, you know, radicals that run the party, you
Speaker 2: know that they really believe this crap. But you know,
Speaker 2: how is this going to end any differently than they're
Speaker 2: going to have to give in and they're going to
Speaker 2: have to capitulate. But back to the preposterous claim that
Speaker 2: Democrats are not trying to provide taxpayer funded healthcare benefits,
Speaker 2: it's just a lie. The Vice President JD. Van said,
Speaker 2: Democrats want to reinstate Biden error federal funding for emergency
Speaker 2: health care that will include illegal immigrants that was ended
Speaker 2: under the One Big Beautiful Bill under the Trump administration,
Speaker 2: they say, we're not actually trying to give healthcare benefits
Speaker 2: to illegals. And he said, this is why it's not true,
Speaker 2: is that the Biden error programs explicitly gave taxpayer health
Speaker 2: care money to illegals, and that was turned off when
Speaker 2: President Trump took took office in January. The first Biden
Speaker 2: Error program, which was supposed to be temporary. It was
Speaker 2: supposed to be emergency healthcare during COVID, you know, provided
Speaker 2: illegal immigrants and provided everybody and anybody. We turned off
Speaker 2: that funding because we want American citizens to benefit from
Speaker 2: those hospital services, not to be taxed and then have
Speaker 2: those services given to people that are illegally in this country.
Speaker 2: And that's what the One Big, Beautiful Bill did. It
Speaker 2: tightened who could receive federal payments for emergency treatment and
Speaker 2: reduce the federal match. Now, by the way, this does
Speaker 2: not stop illegal immigrants. This does not stop Sorry Democratic radicals.
Speaker 2: I mean they could always, you know, create their own
Speaker 2: fund for illegal immigrants and not through the force of government,
Speaker 2: take your money and spend it on people that don't
Speaker 2: respect our laws, our borders, and our sovereignty. But that's
Speaker 2: never an option for them. I pointed this out many times. Liberals,
Speaker 2: the left, they're only generous with other people's money. You know,
Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosi, if you go to her house and or
Speaker 2: a multimillion dollar mansion, I have no problem that she's successful.
Speaker 2: I like to know how she has one of the
Speaker 2: best track records of anybody ever investing in Wall Street
Speaker 2: history with her husband. But that's a separatatue for a
Speaker 2: different day. But she lives in a multimillion dollar mansion,
Speaker 2: and one mile from where she lives is one of
Speaker 2: the worst open den drug markets that we've sent our cameras.
Speaker 2: There needles everywhere, people shooting up in the streets, people
Speaker 2: defecating in the streets, people urinating in the streets. It's
Speaker 2: a hell hole. And a mile in the other direction
Speaker 2: away from this encampment is where her office is. And
Speaker 2: I just wonder, you know, why, why wouldn't somebody like
Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosi, with all the money that she's been able
Speaker 2: to make off Wall Street, why didn't she put together
Speaker 2: a fund and why didn't they build out on their
Speaker 2: own a facility for people that are addicted to drugs
Speaker 2: and that are homeless, that are shooting up, you know,
Speaker 2: build them a place where they can go to the bathroom,
Speaker 2: maybe take a shower, Maybe provide twenty four to seven
Speaker 2: drug counseling. Uh maybe you know, provide clothing and other
Speaker 2: items for people. They're so generous with your money, Why
Speaker 2: do they be generous with their money?
Speaker 1: But you know this, this is now.
Speaker 2: What we're up against. Democrats demanding two hundred billion for
Speaker 2: illegal aliens. And this is the thing. It's one point
Speaker 2: five billion dollars. And this is for a seven week
Speaker 2: extension of government funding. I mean, the Republicans are offering
Speaker 2: a clean continuing resolution. What does a clean That's what
Speaker 2: Democrats always said they wanted. But what they're missing here
Speaker 2: is the federal government shut down. And in the lead
Speaker 2: up to this, President Trump warned the administration could make
Speaker 2: irreversible changes to the federal workforce through a new wave
Speaker 2: of fresh layoffs. In other words, this may give him
Speaker 2: that window of opportunity to actually cut back the size,
Speaker 2: the scope, the influence, the bureaucratic nightmare that has become
Speaker 2: Washington that is bankrupting this country. It is an unprecedented opportunity,
Speaker 2: and President Trump is now openly speaking about, you know,
Speaker 2: using this moment to go ahead and in fact cut
Speaker 2: back the size of government and not restore funding for
Speaker 2: a lot of this.
Speaker 1: Anyway.
Speaker 2: Eight hundred and nine point one, Shawn is our number
Speaker 2: if you want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 2: As we roll along, eight hundred and ninefolt one, Sean,
Speaker 2: if you want to be a part of the program,
Speaker 2: is there a shot We're going to go over some
Speaker 2: of the races in the course of the program today
Speaker 2: in New Jersey. I want everybody in New Jersey to
Speaker 2: listen very closely. Jack Chittarelli can win this race. There
Speaker 2: are enough polls out now that show that this is
Speaker 2: a dead heat. Most of these polls came out before
Speaker 2: the information on Mikey Sheryl came out about her being
Speaker 2: involved in a cheating scandal and not talking with her
Speaker 2: class at the Naval Academy and charges Now allegations of
Speaker 2: nepotism with her two kids getting into the Naval Academy
Speaker 2: now beginning to resonate. But if you're in the state
Speaker 2: of New Jersey, this is maybe your last shot. You know,
Speaker 2: you know, how did she personally profit while in office
Speaker 2: the way she did? How do you feel about the
Speaker 2: cost of living, taxes, your electric bills in New Jersey?
Speaker 1: This is your chance. Same in Virginia.
Speaker 2: By twenty five till the top of the hour, eight
Speaker 2: hundred and nine four one, Shawn is our number. If
Speaker 2: you want to be a part of the program, listen.
Speaker 2: One way to save money, not sacrifice service. Make the
Speaker 2: switch to my cell phone provider. It is a veteran
Speaker 2: own company, one that shares your values, one that believes
Speaker 2: in freedom of speech, supporting shows like this. But more importantly,
Speaker 2: they give you the exact same cell towers, the exact
Speaker 2: same five G network. You get the exact same service.
Speaker 2: Average family saves over one thousand dollars a year. That's
Speaker 2: real money. Now, if you're a business, you have a
Speaker 2: lot of employees and they all have cell phones that
Speaker 2: you're providing, you're going to save thousands a year. And
Speaker 2: they stand for freedom, liberty, are veterans, pro American values,
Speaker 2: and they got incredible coverage, the same exact coverage as
Speaker 2: the big carriers. For example, twenty five bucks a month plans.
Speaker 2: Starting at that low you get unlimited talk, unlimited text,
Speaker 2: you get plenty of data. You save a ton of
Speaker 2: money for the same service. You're also supporting American jobs,
Speaker 2: supporting small business, supporting veterans. And it's a company you
Speaker 2: will be proud to be associated with. It'd be standing
Speaker 2: with companies that share your values. The switch it's simple,
Speaker 2: it's fast, it's easy. You dial pound two to fifty,
Speaker 2: you say the keyword save. Now do it now. You
Speaker 2: save an additional fifty percent off your first month. That's
Speaker 2: pound two to fifty keywords save now make the switch
Speaker 2: to pure talk today. You know, it's this is not
Speaker 2: going to surprise any of you that that follow media
Speaker 2: in any way. It's just simply not And this is gallop.
Speaker 2: Trust in media is at a new low twenty eight percent.
Speaker 2: Now here's the interesting part. Republican confidence in mass media
Speaker 2: to report news fully accurately barely is eight percent. I
Speaker 2: wonder what person who would the eight percent of Republicans
Speaker 2: that trust the legacy media mob because you can't trust them.
Speaker 1: I mean we have.
Speaker 2: Seen time and time and time again they have an agenda.
Speaker 2: We have gone through it all. Look at the legacy
Speaker 2: media mob. Look at what they did with you know,
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, since the moment this man came down the
Speaker 2: escalator at Trump Tower with his wife. You know, look
Speaker 2: at the three plus years of peddling lies and conspiracy
Speaker 2: theories about Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia. We're in the
Speaker 2: mainstream legacy media mob. Did they ever tell you the
Speaker 2: real value of mar A Lago? We're in the legacy
Speaker 2: media mob. Did they ever tell you that the statute
Speaker 2: of limitations had run out on a legal nda, which
Speaker 2: is very common in business, and that Alvin Bragg came
Speaker 2: up with a novel legal theory to create, you know,
Speaker 2: thirty four felony counts, something that had never been done before.
Speaker 1: When did the.
Speaker 2: Legacy media mob say that it's wrong if you're running
Speaker 2: for attorney general or district attorney to run on a
Speaker 2: platform to destroy one man, one family, one organization. When
Speaker 2: did the legacy media mob, you know, complain or point
Speaker 2: out or protest the double standard when it comes the
Speaker 2: top secret classified information as it relates to Hillary Clinton
Speaker 2: versus Donald Trump or Joe Biden versus the treatment of
Speaker 2: Donald Trump and the rate of mar A Lago. You know,
Speaker 2: when did they ever care about any of these things?
Speaker 2: They never did. You know, it goes back to very
Speaker 2: early in my career, the media rushed to judgment, as
Speaker 2: we call it, Richard Jewel. He fits the profile of
Speaker 2: the lone bomber. He lives with his mother. I was
Speaker 2: on the air at the time, and I'm like, well,
Speaker 2: maybe he's trying to save money. That doesn't make one
Speaker 2: a domestic terrorist. Ends up, he was listening to my show.
Speaker 2: Didn't know it at the time, and he said, you
Speaker 2: were the only he told me later, you were the
Speaker 2: only one that didn't rush to judgment, and I got
Speaker 2: one of the first interviews with him. It taught me
Speaker 2: such a valuable lesson not to rush to judgment. And
Speaker 2: it's paid off because when when Duke Lacrosse came up,
Speaker 2: I just I don't have to be first.
Speaker 1: I just want to get it right.
Speaker 2: And how did I find out that it was very
Speaker 2: unlikely this happened? Well, I went to meet with a
Speaker 2: couple of the families that were involved in that case
Speaker 2: in Garden City, Long Island, and I met with him,
Speaker 2: and I learned in that meeting that they had exculpatory
Speaker 2: evidence that proved their innocence and that it would be forthcoming. Therefore,
Speaker 2: I was able to stand apart from a mob and
Speaker 2: a mob both of professors on campus in the Ducalo
Speaker 2: cross case and a mob in the media that wanted
Speaker 2: to convict these kids, you know, without the benefit of
Speaker 2: a trial and believe the worst.
Speaker 1: You know. How did I then?
Speaker 2: I followed suit the UVA case or the case in Ferguson, Missouri,
Speaker 2: and Darren Wilson, and this narrative, this lie, hands up,
Speaker 2: don't shoot, that was repeated over and over and over again.
Speaker 1: Well, I do what you're supposed to do.
Speaker 2: I got in contact with sources on the ground in
Speaker 2: this case, multiple law enforcement sources, a lot of them,
Speaker 2: and they all corroborated and confirmed to me that they
Speaker 2: were multiple in this case because a lot of people
Speaker 2: made it about race African American witnesses that would corroborate
Speaker 2: Officer Darren Wilson's story that Michael Brown reached into the
Speaker 2: car that's when the first shot went off, and that
Speaker 2: Michael Brown there was no hands up, don't shoot, but
Speaker 2: Michael Brown, you know, ran at Officer Darren Wilson. His
Speaker 2: life was ruined, His career was ruined. The media, you know,
Speaker 2: never retracts, never apologizes. When is when does NBC, ABC, CBS,
Speaker 2: MSDNC fake News CN And when did they ever say
Speaker 2: they were wrong on Russia collusion? At Carter p on
Speaker 2: the other night, this guy's this guy's life was ruined.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: It turned out Carter Page was actually a hero. And
Speaker 2: he would travel abroad and he was a teacher and
Speaker 2: he'd come back and he'd share intelligence he was he
Speaker 2: would work in behalf of a government as a patriot,
Speaker 2: not that he was a spy, not that he was
Speaker 2: paid because he could pass along information that our government
Speaker 2: wanted to know, and he always cooperated because he wanted
Speaker 2: to be a good citizen. Now running for Congress, by
Speaker 2: the way, we fully support his efforts there. But because
Speaker 2: he was a volunteer to the Trump campaign, that warrant
Speaker 2: against Carter Page, of which they used the dirty Russian
Speaker 2: disinformation dossier bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton that
Speaker 2: was never verifyabull totally debunked for the basis of four
Speaker 2: FIZ applications. That's why I think this should be you
Speaker 2: know other you know, I think certainly investigations into James
Speaker 2: Comey signed three of the four of them. The bulk
Speaker 2: of information presented to that court was that debunk dossier.
Speaker 2: When when did we know is debunked before he signed
Speaker 2: the Second War He signed three all together. And you know,
Speaker 2: years later Lindsey Graham asked all the people that signed
Speaker 2: the visor wards, knowing what you know, now, would you
Speaker 2: sign the warrant?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Well, why why didn't you go back to the court
Speaker 2: and tell the court that the information you provided as
Speaker 2: evidence turned out to be bogus, which the law requires
Speaker 2: you to do.
Speaker 1: Never happened.
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, Freddie Graham, Baltimore, I had friends of
Speaker 2: mine that literally sources telling me, Sean, I promise you
Speaker 2: not one of these cops is ever going to be convicted,
Speaker 2: and here's why. And they gave me the background. You
Speaker 2: know what the case of George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin
Speaker 2: narrative was that George Zimmerman was you know, Okay, maybe
Speaker 2: you can argue he shouldn't be, you know, getting involved,
Speaker 2: He should have just called the police. Put that aside.
Speaker 2: But I knew and learned early on that there would
Speaker 2: be an eyewitness, and I learned from law enforcement sources
Speaker 2: that that there would be a witness that would testify
Speaker 2: that in fact, the ground and pound was George Zimmerman's
Speaker 2: head into concrete and that he was the one that
Speaker 2: was screaming. Well, it's ultimately led to that acquittal, So
Speaker 2: it shouldn't surprise anybody. And I'm not patting myself on
Speaker 2: the back here that I'm just saying. You know, when
Speaker 2: trust in the media is at an all time loan,
Speaker 2: when conservatives see eight percent that that the news media,
Speaker 2: the legacy media mob fully accurately, fairly you know, reports
Speaker 2: the news, and their confidence of mass media is that
Speaker 2: eight percent, that that should tell you everything you need
Speaker 2: to know. When Gallup began measuring trust in the news
Speaker 2: media in the nineteen seventies, between sixty eight and seventy
Speaker 2: two percent of Americans expressed confidence in reporting. The next reading,
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety seven, public confidence had fallen to fifty
Speaker 2: three percent. Media trusts remained just above fifty percent until
Speaker 2: it dropped to forty four percent in two thousand and four.
Speaker 2: It has not risen to the majority levels since. The
Speaker 2: highest reading in the past decade was forty five percent
Speaker 2: in twenty eighteen. There's two years after confidence had collapsed
Speaker 2: amid the collapse amid the device of twenty sixteen presidential campaign.
Speaker 2: You know, it's fascinating to look, how you know? When
Speaker 2: you break this down among party lines, Democrats and Republicans
Speaker 2: continue to express different levels of trust in the legacy media.
Speaker 2: Percentages with high confidence in reporting are at low points
Speaker 2: among all parties groups. Republicans' confidence, which has not risen
Speaker 2: above twenty one percent since twenty fifteen, is now eight
Speaker 2: percent for the first time in the trend. Eight percent
Speaker 2: Independence trust has not reached majority levels since two thousand
Speaker 2: and three, and the latest numbers twenty seven percent, a
Speaker 2: historic low for Democrats, the narrowist majorities fifty one percent.
Speaker 1: They do trust the media. Why is that?
Speaker 2: Why did Democrats because the media Slan Sols rock solidly left?
Speaker 2: How could they not? There's also a generational divide in
Speaker 2: the trust in media, which I can get into, but
Speaker 2: I think you get the gist of this. Pretty amazing. Actually,
Speaker 2: a time Siena survey Americans worried divisions cannot be overcome
Speaker 2: New York Times. I find these polls fascinating, I really do.
Speaker 1: Anyway.
Speaker 2: They they interviewed or polled thirteen hundred and thirteen registered
Speaker 2: voters between September twenty second and twenty seven, and it
Speaker 2: is impossible now to have a policy discussion. Sat Amber
Speaker 2: Yang of Boston, who works in the finance and identify
Speaker 2: as as a Democrat, here's the problem we have with this,
Speaker 2: and that is divisions cannot be overcome. Tell me how
Speaker 2: you reconcile the following. How do you reconcile those of
Speaker 2: us that believe in law and order and safety and
Speaker 2: security as a prerequisite to pursue happiness versus a mentality
Speaker 2: that supports defund dismantle no BAID laws. Reimagine the police.
Speaker 2: Tell me where the middle ground is there? Who's going
Speaker 2: to compromise? Where is the compromise? I don't see one.
Speaker 2: You know, for those people that want open borders, for
Speaker 2: those people that want no vetting, for those people that
Speaker 2: want sanctuary cities and states, for those people that would
Speaker 2: protect those that did not respect our our borders, our laws,
Speaker 2: our sovereignty. You know, want to provide taxpayer funded benefits
Speaker 2: like the Democrats do now and now I've shut down
Speaker 2: the government in part because of this. They want one
Speaker 2: point five trillion to keep the government open for seven weeks.
Speaker 1: Not going to happen.
Speaker 2: But how do you reconcile those that want open borders
Speaker 2: and benefits for people that are in the country illegally
Speaker 2: and that call Republicans enforcing the law. They're protesting all
Speaker 2: over the country outside of ICE offices all over the country.
Speaker 1: Now have a story after story. How do you reconcile that?
Speaker 2: How do you reconcile those people that want the rights
Speaker 2: of men to play women's sports and being women's locker rooms.
Speaker 2: You know, how do you reconcile you know, Kamala Harris
Speaker 2: wanting taxpayer funds sex change operations, or Tim Walls wanting
Speaker 2: taxpayer funded college tuition, or tampons in grade school boys' bathrooms.
Speaker 2: How do you compromise on these issues? Had a refugee,
Speaker 2: by the way from Tanzania had been released by Colorado
Speaker 2: Democrats after being arrested for murder fought on a college
Speaker 2: campus carrying a rifle, you know, David Marcus. My run
Speaker 2: in shows that in Portland it's the cops who are
Speaker 2: handcuffed one hundred knights in a row. Antifa thugs have
Speaker 2: taken over the streets in front of you know, US
Speaker 2: Immigration and Customs enforcement facility, hooting, hollering and waving any flag.
Speaker 2: That was an old glory. It goes on to say that,
Speaker 2: and it was clear, not the hapless handful of police
Speaker 2: on hand, that they were in control. I later learned
Speaker 2: officers were told by their higher ups not to engage
Speaker 2: the black clad, masked radicals. And if you have never
Speaker 2: seen Antifa at night in the natural menacing environment, I
Speaker 2: describe it as a mental asylum meeting a Batman movie.
Speaker 2: And it's almost, you know, hard to imagine these characters
Speaker 2: are real. Well, now the National Guard is there. Democrats
Speaker 2: don't want it. You have all the murders in Chicago
Speaker 2: you can predict on any given weekend how many people
Speaker 2: will be shot, shot and killed, you know. And and
Speaker 2: you have Democrats complaining that the President would like to
Speaker 2: restore law and order for the law abiding citizens in
Speaker 2: Chicago so they can live in a peaceful environment and
Speaker 2: pursue their dreams in life. Again a prerequisite to happiness.
Speaker 2: I don't know how you're gonna reconcile these things. Those
Speaker 2: that would spend us into oblivion, those that want to
Speaker 2: balance the budget, those that want energy dominance, those that don't,
Speaker 2: those that want a border wall, those that don't, those
Speaker 2: that believe in free market capitalism, and those that believe,
Speaker 2: like you know, with Zoran Kami Marxist Mundani that you know,
Speaker 2: we're going to tax people more. We're gonna defund the police,
Speaker 2: We're going to open the prisons, we're gonna take over
Speaker 2: you know, property, We're gonna you know, we shouldn't have
Speaker 2: billionaires or successful people, or that we should put a
Speaker 2: limit on their success. I don't know how you find
Speaker 2: middle ground there. Yeah, it's a divide, all right. Three
Speaker 2: races we are watching in this off yr election year.
Speaker 2: One the Commonwealth of Virginia for Governor uh and win
Speaker 2: some seers the other Jack Chidarelli.
Speaker 1: He'll be on TV tonight.
Speaker 2: He's dead, even in the state of New Jersey, the
Speaker 2: deep blue state of New Jersey, and yes, the New
Speaker 2: York City mayor race with Kami Marxist Mandani. Mandamie will
Speaker 2: get an update from Curtis Leeve next
