Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Media Exposed. This week, we're going to cover
the war that happened, the Twelve Day War, and how
the America got into and how's the media covered. Also,
there was a big earthquake in New York City. The
Democratic prime in upstart, Zohoran Kwami Mandani defeated the legendary
Andrew Cuomo. Out of that. Media is covering that. Also,

(00:21):
we took it celebrity we moved out of the country.
Guess who that is. We'll talk about her crying on
the air. That and more coming up on Media Exposed.
What they do say is fake he that's how devious

(00:46):
the media has become their full force activists. Now they folks,
we're in on it, Sway's elections, Sways policy. We need
to expose them. Republicans trash the contrary where it stops.

(01:08):
I've been doing this since I was eighteen. I've had
hit jobs done against me. I've been attacked by media.
Reporters are afraid and the whole truth will prevail. Thank
News Media, We're here to call you out.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Heidensity.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
News Media Exposed with Adam Wise starts now.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Welcome back to Media Exposed. What a week it was
between war's internal fighting and the macisphere. You know, a
Mayo race and our largest city in the country that
has an upstart socialist basically admitted socialist. I want to
work into my guests. Dave Zier here on the set.
Thanks for joining us, Dave host at breaking point, I

(01:54):
wanted Justin Murray again, the host at Media Research and NewsBusters.
Is great job calling out the media every single day, Justin,
thanks for joining us. Me back Justine. The we had
this massive intervention in Iran. We jumped in the middle
of the Iran Israel war with our crazy bombbusters, right

(02:18):
with our big these fighters that came all the way
across the country. And after the dust was settled, the
media was added already and it really pissed off Pete
Hegseth and towards the end of the week he held
the second press conference, only his second press conference. I
want to and really another question that irked him, which

(02:39):
probably wouldn't happen under democrat. But what's this We're going
to go to cut a here?

Speaker 4 (02:42):
Acknowledge the female pilots that also participated in this mission.
The early messages that you sent out only congratulated the boys.

Speaker 5 (02:50):
So when I say something like our boys and bombers. See,
this is the kind of thing the press does. Right,
of course, the chairman mentioned a female bomber pilot.

Speaker 6 (02:57):
That's fantastic.

Speaker 5 (02:58):
She's fantastic, she's a I want more female bomber pilots.
I hope the men and women of our country sign
up to do such brave and audacious things.

Speaker 6 (03:05):
But when you spin it as because I say.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
Our boys and bombers is a common phrase, I'll keep
saying things like that, whether they're men or women. Very
proud of that female pilot, just like I'm very proud
of those male pilots. And I don't care if it's
a male or a female in that cockpit, and the
American people don't care. But it's the obsession with race
and gender in this department that's changed priorities where we

(03:28):
don't do that anymore.

Speaker 6 (03:29):
We don't play your little games.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
Yes, certain that the uranium was removed from a facility
before the B.

Speaker 6 (03:34):
Two struck, So I'm not aware of any intelligence.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Man, it's so silly. Even a decade justing David, nobody
would even think to question that what has happened to
the media that a war is breaking out in the
middle eaves, our soldiers flew across the good and this
is the question, how silly is that? What do you
think of that question?

Speaker 7 (03:56):
Justin Yeah, well, President Trump just took out Iran's major
nuclear arsenals, the one of the worst regimes for women.
They throw ask that women who dare to take their
hey job off?

Speaker 8 (04:10):
And you had the legacy media calling.

Speaker 7 (04:13):
The administration sexist, calling Pete Hegsek the sexist, focusing on
the fact that he's oh no, he said the word boys,
not over the main issue here, which is the fact
that we just defeated, we're still defeating the Iranian regime,
which which throws women off buildings, their children. I just

(04:35):
I just think that if you're going to go in
the briefing room and you're going to act like a child,
then don't be in there, because this is supposed to
be a conversation for adults.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
David, you get one question as your report, and that's
what you are.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Well, if he would have said the boys and gal,
the Meadia would have said, well, how do you know
she really feels she's a woman. Maybe she thinks she's
a man.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
You know, I imagine that whole social experiment. Maybe she's
not a man, maybe she can or trans but it's
so silly that in the middle of a war there's
the questions they were asking. But I want to go
to our favorite celebrity who actually moved out of a country,
this irishwoman. Let's go to cut One and what's Rosie?
She was on Chris Cuomo's podcast Breakdown. Let's call this
all a breakdown, Let's call this therapy. Watch this cut One.

Speaker 9 (05:18):
I wasn't one of those people who said, if he
gets elected, I'm going to move. I knew that I
would never move because I'm very much a homebody and
I like to be near my kids and in the
same time zone, and I don't like to not be
able to be there to help them. And you know,
it's like a compulsion in some capacity. But I really

(05:40):
felt this was self preservation for me because during his
first go round, it was very difficult, and I got
myself into some bad places. You know, I was very
very depressed. I was overeating, I was overdrinking, I was
you know, I was so depressed, Chris, I can't you know,
it hurt in my heart that America believed the lies

(06:05):
about him, and then It broke my heart to be
in a business that creates and sells those lives for profit.
You know, it was very heavy to tell you the truth.
And I knew in order for me to be a
good parent to this twelve year old child that I've
got to be around for twenty more years, I need
to take care of myself.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
What would it take to someone to have such a breakdown?
We got to give awards, all three we should celebrate,
have an awards ceremony, and Rosey would be right out
there for the trophy for TDS derangement syndrome. Right, she
might win the award. It's sort of our Nobel Prize
for the most deranged Trump syndrome. But I've never had

(06:47):
a breakdown because the left, the left win, and they
win all the time, and they get such coverage. Why
does such a Hollywood celebrity who's had a successful life,
Justine have a breakdown like that?

Speaker 8 (07:00):
She is a miserable tub of goo? And this is
leftist ideology.

Speaker 7 (07:04):
Leftist ideology celebrates mental breakdowns. Mental breakdown that basically describes
the entire left, and it really goes to show that
the lack of self control, flaunting her lack of self
control for all to see, as she should be showered
with praise over it. Leftist ideology. They say that your

(07:26):
lack of self control, you should have a complete aversion
to any idea of individual responsibility. It's everybody else's fault
that she's become.

Speaker 8 (07:35):
A drunk and let herself go. That's basically the gist here.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Dave liked it's a never ending therapy session, right, never ending. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Well, in the early nineteen nineties, she admitted on Sirius
XM she struggled with alcohol. I'm not going to make
fun of her personal and physical issues, but she's diabetic.
She's always had weight issues since she had a heart
attack thirteen years ago, and it's well known she has
struggled with alcohol and has been open about her depression
many times and mental health issues. This has nothing to

(08:05):
do with Trump. Remember she joked when she got a
staff infection in the early two thousand that it was
Bush's fault. Bigger issues here than Trump.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
He didn't do it. Let's go to a favorite author recently.
He's on Chuck Todd who moved over to Substack. They
have to leave an NBC. A lot of these big players,
big ex at mainstream media stars and moving over to substack.
Maybe they have a second career. Let's see. But let's
take a look at this Jake Tabors on Chuck Todd,
and they still can't admit what's just.

Speaker 10 (08:35):
I've been a bit more defensive of the overall media
coverage than clearly others would like to be right, meaning,
you know, I think the blaming the media is an
excuse not to blame the actual people that did this, Okay,
Like the media is a look for better or for worse,
where a reflection, where a reflection of the best version

(08:59):
of events that we can come up with.

Speaker 6 (09:00):
We are only as good as our sources, I.

Speaker 10 (09:03):
You know, And I've brought this up and I heard
you bring this up to which is the single most
difficult thing to report out on a politician's health?

Speaker 1 (09:14):
You know it justin David, We saw it. We saw
when Biden was running for office, he sat there and
did interviews in the basement, and those zanders were terrible.
He didn't campaign when he went against Trump. Trump was
still doing four or five rallies a day. So give
me a break because the campaign and when he's president,
didn't tell you we saw him falling off stairs. What

(09:35):
were you missing? Were they all blind? Justine?

Speaker 8 (09:38):
Apparently? And when we did notice it, we were gas lit.

Speaker 7 (09:42):
They, I like to say, the gentleman here in this
interview doth protest too much because they dragged, they continued
to drag out how much they were totally not.

Speaker 8 (09:54):
Involved in the Biden cover up. They keep insisting and insisting.

Speaker 7 (09:59):
That they weren't in involved or they didn't participate.

Speaker 8 (10:02):
They weren't basically at.

Speaker 7 (10:04):
The forefront of the Biden cover up, and they keep
telling their It's almost as if a guilty conscience needs
no accuser.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
David, you see that double down. They can't file the
middle What is he talking about? Dad? Because they didn't
come out and give you a slip and say, here's
Biden's health record. He's having dementia. We saw it right.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
It's complete dishonesty. For the first time in my life,
I don't have words.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Yeah, we'll sort of cut three real fast. I want
to search Checretary General NATO called Trump Watch. Thank you.

Speaker 11 (10:37):
I'm Debrahim's from Skynies. The language that you have used
when talking to Donald Trump has been notable because of
its flattery. Today you called him daddy, and you sent
a text message to him that was gushing with praise.
Is this the way that you feel that you have
to act when doing business with the US President through

(10:57):
flattery and praise. Isn't it a bit demeaning? Doesn't it
make you look weep?

Speaker 5 (11:01):
No?

Speaker 12 (11:02):
I don't think so. I think it's a bit of
us questional for daste. But I think he's a good friend.
And when he is doing stuff which is forcing us,
for example, when it comes to making more investments, I mean,
which were everything?

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Justin final thoughts, at least the second ten agent to
get to get caught for that, you know, international reporters
gas lighting, right, give me final quick thoughts.

Speaker 7 (11:24):
President President Trump could stop a World War three, which
is basically what he did.

Speaker 8 (11:30):
Yet the legacy media will nitpick.

Speaker 7 (11:32):
And look they're so desperate from oh no, saying the
naughty word boys to saying the word daddy. Oh how
how dare President Trump? And it has his administration dare
to say these words that were yees got.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
To go going? Thank you soon standing up New York
City's reaching the point of new return. But up next
Trump and those strikes on Iran. Welcome back to media exploded.

(12:10):
Trump bombed Iran and the media cries no congestional approval,
but Obama bomb's Libya and they call it leadership. The
double standards laughable. As soon as the war breaks out,
infighting chaos everywhere, every angle, the media can go against
Trump for the successful bombing is done when Dems deify Trump,

(12:32):
they clapped upon praising the troops under Trump, The media
fact checks it when it's heckseat salutes Obamas boys and
boys that do it have to be classified as girls also,
and the New York Times loses it. Whatever you think
about the mission, our troops who carried out this mission
did so at great peril to their lives. The media
forgets to show the respect when respect is due. Comedian

(12:54):
dance on the air to mock the strike, not I
ran Trump. Colbert celebrates the fall if it made Trump
look bad, And even though we don't yet know the
extent of the damage, the media is going into fitstful
overdrive with headlines that the strikes only set the program
back a few months. How did they even know if
the three days? How did they really know? The left
for rather troop fail than Iran fail. Their priorities politics

(13:19):
not National Square. I want to bring in our guests
David again on again on SETH Thanks to David Dick,
Gabrielle Gabby could Chi, a former White House staffer, former
Pentagon reporter too for O N Gabby, thanks for joining
us as always, Gabby, I want to go to this
cut first. It's Trump. He was at NATO midweek and

(13:40):
was calling out the New York Times, CNN, MSNBC over
there cover. Let's go to cut three here.

Speaker 13 (13:47):
This was an unbelievable hit by genius pilots and genius
people in the military, and then not being given credit
for it because we have scum that's in this group,
and not only of v are yet some great reports,
but you have scum. CNN is scum, MSDNZ is scum.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
The New York Times is scum.

Speaker 6 (14:07):
They're bad people, They're sick.

Speaker 13 (14:09):
And what they've done is they're trying to make this
unbelievable victory into something less. Now even they admit that
it was hit very hard, Okay, but it wasn't. It
was hit brutally and it knocked it out. The original
word that I use, I guess it got us in
trouble because it's a strong word.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
It was obliteration and you'll.

Speaker 14 (14:30):
See that and it's going to come out.

Speaker 13 (14:33):
Israel is doing a report on it now.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Gabby, how would Bamba have been celebrated if he not
did such a quick job over the weekend? What do
you think?

Speaker 8 (14:42):
Oh yeah, oh, the left would be so dark excited?

Speaker 15 (14:46):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 8 (14:46):
That's what we would hear NonStop.

Speaker 16 (14:48):
Certainly a complete different situation what we're seeing over the
past week and what we will continue to see. I mean,
what's really interesting here, I think is the whole element
is that we never really heard anybody in the press
corps or outside of Preston, just mainstream media talk about
the hoothy airstrikes that happened over the course of fifty
two days. Is just concluded in May, and it was

(15:09):
on pause a lot of which because we actually were
losing DoD assets, aerial assets because of the Iran backed
Hohothi group going after the United States over in the
Red Sea. So I bring that up because you see
what was going on over the course of May, and
then we see that this extraordinary feat.

Speaker 8 (15:30):
You know, however, you feel of exactly what happened over
in Iran, whether.

Speaker 16 (15:33):
We should have executed those three nuclear sites or not.

Speaker 8 (15:37):
Of course, that's.

Speaker 12 (15:38):
Open for debate.

Speaker 16 (15:38):
I'm a huge advocate for that within the MAGA movement especially,
but outside of that, just pivoting and looking at what
we were doing in May versus what we were able
to accomplish in June. I've noticed that not one soul
in the mainstream media or media at all has even
looked at that cross comparison, especially because those were within
the realms of the area of responsibility being the hard

(16:00):
target of Iran.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
That's at the great point. But David, I want to
say what I was. I was at the White House
Correspondent in two thousand and twelve or thirteen, the night
the same night Obama took out Osama bin Laden. You
never heard any fighting or the left or the right
or the media going after those successful But that's the difference.

(16:21):
You notice the infighting with the tearing apart they do
with Trump when he does a mission. What do you
think of the difference.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
I just wanted to preface my statement with I loved
how Trump purposely picked out the you know, big five
of the worst to him, takes them head on.

Speaker 6 (16:36):
It was classic Trump.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
But you know, yeah, it would have been like, you know,
America's back man of the year, a man for all season,
a man of action, obamba.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
You know.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
Finally, you know leadership and you know if anything Trump
does at the end of the world, so what else
can you expect?

Speaker 1 (16:55):
But finally, Secretary of Defense Pete Heggs said, had a
press come second press common friends, and I know you
wrote about this Ben. We'll talk about that a little bit.
But I want to go to this kot because he
had a press conference in the late part of a week,
and man, he's taken on the media. I don't know
if this is the right way he should be doing it,
but let's go to cut for for a here and
watch him.

Speaker 5 (17:15):
How many stories have been written about how hard it
is to I don't know, fly a plane for thirty
six hours.

Speaker 6 (17:21):
Has MSNBC done that.

Speaker 5 (17:23):
Story, as Fox? Have we done the story how hard
that is? Have we done it two or three times
so that American people understand.

Speaker 6 (17:29):
How about how difficult it is to shoot.

Speaker 5 (17:31):
A drone from an F fifteen or sixteen or F
twenty two or F thirty five, or what it's like
to man a patriot battery, or how hard it is
to refuel mid air, giving the American people an understanding
of how complex and sophisticated this mission really was. There
are so many aspects of what our brave men and
women did.

Speaker 6 (17:49):
That because of the hatred of this press.

Speaker 5 (17:51):
Corps are undermined because your people are trying to leak
and spin that it wasn't successful. It's irresponsible, and folks
in this room are privy to that information because of
the proximity here in the Pentagon.

Speaker 6 (18:06):
It's an important responsibility.

Speaker 17 (18:08):
You know.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Trump gets away with the same thing, Gabby David. He
does it in such an engaging, almost comical way. He
sat almost needs an emotional calm down. The way he's
doing it, it just comes off to, uh, you know,
too rough to you know, not becoming of a Secretary
of Defense. And I know you called out because they

(18:30):
weren't doing press conferences at all, and you were there
for a little bit and I saw you a substack
and I'm like, oh, that's interesting that you said, why
are they not doing press conference? And then you told
and you were supposed to come on that day and
he said, Adam, I can't come on. I think they're
going to bounce me just for writing a little substack.
But you can tell a little bit about that. But
what do you think about his behavior only a second

(18:50):
press conference? Should he be like Pete, you've been in
the you've been in the media for a decade or more.
You don't know the media's left wing. That's why we
have a show. Relax. What do you think?

Speaker 16 (19:02):
Yeah, no, Adam, I appreciate those sentiments because at the
end of the day, we got a play straight. Even
more when we're maga right, Like, that's kind of the
whole point is being able to ask questions. And so
when you close the doors to say a press corps,
I mean, man, look at all the roles and hats
that Marco Rubio has to maintain while while running the
gun for this administration and doing a successful job.

Speaker 8 (19:23):
I would say, at.

Speaker 16 (19:23):
Least in my opinion for sure, and all the press
conferences he has had. And Tammy Bruce, although I didn't
appreciate some of the comments that she made earlier this week,
under this as being a state official, she still get
in front of the camera and she's answering the hard
questions and having press conferences. It's been pretty wild to
see the Pentagon close the doors kind of paint this
picture and do some sort of what Iraq g watt

(19:45):
Era rumsfeld did, Rumsfeldt being the former.

Speaker 8 (19:48):
Secretary of Defense.

Speaker 16 (19:49):
And you know, at the end of the day, of course,
we know exactly how the media is going to respond,
especially when it comes to left leaning media whatever it
may be, or the American people that don't have a
full scope.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
You have a quick question, do you think yes, Haig
says Sho lowers temperament a little bit.

Speaker 16 (20:03):
Yeah, you know, because I'll tell you why Adaman is
just in such simple terms. Yes, people might not enjoy
someone like Jennifer Griffin's reporting. Whether I feel that that's
justified or not, it's up to the American person people
to decide and discern. But her sole question at some point,
I'm sure you've seen it circulating around. The sole question
of asking whether or not uranium has been transported prior

(20:25):
to the strikes of the three nuclear size is an
incredibly appropriate question and within the realm of the pressport
to ask during and Press prison.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
David he went on, and David he said, Jennifer, you're
the worst.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
Well, Jennifer Griffin has gone after Trump and listen, I
think heg Seth is doing a great job as Defense secretary.
It's going to probably take him a while to settle,
and he's kind of caught in this weird place, right
he's a TV commentator and he's a civilian secretary defense leader.
So let's see where that goes. But remember Trump is
the master class and he's got thirty five years on
hegset dealer with the Media's see.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
We'll go to I want to go to the late
night talk show host Colbert who within three days he's
dancing because he thinks it's a failure. Which let's go
to cut for.

Speaker 18 (21:08):
Whether or not the ceasefire holds. One thing we know
for certain is that our military operation was worth it
because hostilities have ceased. There were no American casualties, and
the President told us.

Speaker 13 (21:18):
This, Iran's key nuclear and Richmond facilities have been completely
and totally obliterated.

Speaker 18 (21:24):
Okay, that's one less problem in the world, except for
one small problem. Today we learned that US intelligence has
determined aron stockpile of enriched uranium was not destroyed and
their centrifuges are largely intact Oops and UKI, so less
Operation Midnight Hammer and more Operation MC hammer. In that

(21:49):
Iran's nuclear.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Isn't that wild? David, a late night talk show host,
ghost to a CNN article instead of taking the word
of the American president Defense secretary, and he's gloating over it.
It's so pathetic. He's CBS two and he's playing cover
for CNN.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
I don't know what's worse, Colbert or his idiotic audience.
And it's such a mischaracterization of the events on all levels.
And according to latenighter dot com that eleven thirty five
time slot, his viewership is down seven to eight percent
from a year ago, and in the key demographic of
eighteen to forty nine years old, it's down another twenty percent.

(22:27):
He still leads the late night talk shows, the Big three,
Kimmel against Jimmy Fallon, but that's not saying too much.
You know, they got a couple hundred thousand viewers every night.
But Colbert's irrelevant in my opinion.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
Yeah, we give me your thoughts on that. How a
late night talk show can be so happy gloating in
a few days, he's gloating over what he thinks because
so he can say Trump fail. Finally, Joe, I.

Speaker 16 (22:52):
Don't appreciate it all. At the end of the day,
I support this country. I support the Department of Defense.
I support the individuals that risk their lives every day,
whether covertly or overtly.

Speaker 8 (23:01):
To get the mission done.

Speaker 16 (23:02):
Whether you want to agree or disagree about the mission
as a whole other element, but to take the ultimate
sacrifice as something that I'll never joke about, and this
administration certainly isn't at all. I think when you see
something like this, we just have to remember, as we
are maga conservative and aggressive and happy to defend this
great nation, is that we have to always remember get
drown out this noise. Drown out if you can say,
crap on, rav I don't know, but drown that out

(23:25):
and have the open debate and conversation of these questions
that we need to have amongst our own base.

Speaker 8 (23:31):
And that's what we focus on.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Great advice. Thank you Gaby for joining us. Up next
the Socialists, Next the socialist steps closer to running New
York City and why did Andrew Clomo mess up so bad?

Speaker 19 (23:45):
That?

Speaker 1 (23:45):
More coming up on media expos Welcome back to Media

(24:11):
Exposed socialist Zaaron Kwame Mandani, who back to maas sympathizers.
Just one in the New York Democratic primary, which if
you know New York City, that pretty much almost guarantees
you can win the mayoralty. Back in the day, Republicans
had a shot, and the media treats his progress. Mind you,
it was the left dominated media champion. This guy who won,

(24:33):
Let's be honest, Coomo messed up big time. He thought
his name, his legacy would get him to the finished line.
He ignored the new media, podcast, Instagram videos, local media.
He just skipped it all because he thought he's bigger
than life and just can skate right in his ego
failed them. The Democratic Party isn't drifting left. It's being
dragged by radicals who justify to terror and demand destruction

(24:57):
of Israel, and their own leaders are too weak or
too scared at the step. This is just a local race.
It's a warning from the streets of Brooklyn to the
halls of Congress. Extremists are taken over the Democratic Party
and the media's hand them the mic. If Trump backed
the canoe cheered on terrorists, he'd be banned ofuffed the ballot.
The left just wins primaries. This is in democracy. It's

(25:17):
a dangerous double stand. Trump put out a true social
and it's finally happened. The Democrats across the line to
and post a wins on a social media plays met
Downey one hundred percent communists lunatic has just won the
Democratic primey if you engineered the Democratic lab you'd get
Zoe Rammed anti semi anti police. I want to bring
in my next guest. It's Frank Morano. It's a New

(25:39):
York City councilman representing the Green borough of Staten Island,
one of the few boroughs that Cuomo actually won. Uh, Franko,
thanks for joining us, first time. I'm media exposed. Appreciate it.

Speaker 6 (25:53):
Thank you for having me.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
It's good to talk to you. Yeah, Frank, this is
like an earthquake because Cuomo jumped in every said no,
Clomo's define to be the Democratic nominee. And you know what,
I had a client. We walked the Israeli Day Parade,
actually a few it was like a month or so ago,
and Cuomo was right there walk in the front, and
I thought to myself, why isn't he doing interviews. There's

(26:15):
little cameras here there everywhere, and he wasn't doing interviews.
I guess his ego. He thought he'd just skate right in,
and that really sums up the same thing almost Kamala
did right and let this guy skate in, this socialist radical.
What do you think of new media? And why didn't
Cuomo do it? And why do you do a lot
of meta media? Because he could have stopped this guy

(26:37):
and now we have a radical that could be the
next mayor.

Speaker 14 (26:41):
You brought up four very good points there. Let me
try to take one at a time. One in terms
of the overall strategy that the Cuomo ran in the
mayor's race, you're exactly right. He ran a rose garden strategy,
which certainly doesn't work if you're not the incumbent. He
may think he's the incumbent. He may think he's entitled
to this. I mean, you know, Zooran Mamdani is a

(27:03):
trust fund baby. If there's anybody that comes closer to
being born somewhere between third base and home plate and
thinking they hit a triple and got a big lead
from third base, it's Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo acted like he
was totally entitled to this. He tried to run a
strategy where he didn't take any risks, he didn't do
forget about new media. He didn't do conventional media, including reporters, journalists,

(27:28):
talk show hosts that were incredibly favorable to him.

Speaker 6 (27:32):
I think in part he did.

Speaker 14 (27:33):
That because he didn't want to make a mistake.

Speaker 6 (27:37):
He thought he was so far ahead.

Speaker 14 (27:38):
And look, he had every advantage, universal name recognition, every
union endorsement, the county organization's endorsement, millions of dollars pumped
in from people like Mike Bloomberg. He thought he was
so far ahead that he didn't have to work for it,
and at the same time he knows how prone he
is to gaffs. We remember moments like America was never
that great. We remember moments like George Pataki helped the leader's.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
Coat on nine to eleven.

Speaker 20 (28:03):
Andrew Cuomo when he starts speaking off the cuff, makes
a lot of mistakes. And nobody's more cognizant of his
own abilities than Andrew Cuomo.

Speaker 14 (28:12):
But it was because Cuomo put himself in this cocoon
that allowed Mam Donnie to pull off this political buster
Douglas act.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
It was a great lesson and we can probably teach
it in a new media. Of course, Trump, who doesn't
know a Trump name right, But when came to last selection.
He was on podcasts. I never even heard of the
Nelk Boys, THEO Vaughn PbD, all these podcasts that he
gave such attention to, but he did it and reached audiences.
It shows no matter what how your name recognition is,

(28:42):
you need to do media NonStop conc So let's go
to cut five. Because a local MBAC reporter called out
Mondanie not on his radical positions, but she got him
on watch. Let's just cut five.

Speaker 21 (28:52):
Because I think the New Yorkers more than they hate
a politician they disagree with, they hate a politician they
can't trust.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
On the subject of trust, You've adopted different and speaking
accents in different scenarios, but.

Speaker 21 (29:02):
They go to their local bodega.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Is there one that's real and one that's affected?

Speaker 21 (29:07):
What I would say is, as any immigrant knows, having
been born in Kampala, Uganda and then raised in South
Africa and moving here when I'm seven years old, is
there a different parts of my life?

Speaker 18 (29:17):
Well?

Speaker 1 (29:17):
Do I joy? Is it well? Do I joy? Is
it well? Do I mom?

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Donnie was talking about a worldwide press tour back when
he was a rappers in a Disney movie directed by
his mother.

Speaker 21 (29:33):
Nepotism and hot work goes a long way here in
New York City. This is how I speak, This is
how I am.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
You know the same thing, Frank, how AOC was a
scripted actor. They kind of like plucked her out as this,
you know, great progressive and they found it. This guy's
like right out of Hollywood. It's almost like Zielinsky, who
was an actor too, but actually his name is Joron Kwami.
Where did Kwame come from? The middle name? You got me?

(30:01):
I don't like of all the things she calls them
out on Frank, the accents, at least she called him
out the media. What do you think about that?

Speaker 6 (30:08):
I think it's interesting one.

Speaker 20 (30:10):
I think in watching that clip there, mam Dami didn't
storm off and get angry as Andrew Cuomo would have
or Eric Adams might's yelling at the reporter.

Speaker 14 (30:21):
He answered the question with a smile. And you mentioned
AOC as well. I think two things that both of
these candidates have that a lot of other Democratic and
Republican politicians lack. Are one some genuine charisma. Republicans I
know that served with mam Dami in the Albany They
say he's an incredibly likable guy. Andrew Cuomo. You can

(30:42):
love his policies, you could hate him. He's not likable.
He's impossible to like. AOC. Same thing she comes across.
She has a certain charm, a certain charisma. The other
thing is the organizing power of the DSA, the Democratic
Socialists of America, who with the driving force behind both
campaigns AOC and the right does not have.

Speaker 6 (31:03):
A comparable force like that.

Speaker 14 (31:05):
Yet Charlie Kirk is trying to turn turning.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
Point into that.

Speaker 14 (31:09):
In New York City, the New York Young Republican Club
is trying to make themselves into that right wing alternative
to the DSA. But at this point, these guys are smart,
they're energized, they're enthused, they're willing to work, and until
the right gets some sort of equivalent to that, there,
you're going to see more democratic primaries won by folks like.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
Mom, Donnie, you know, and last night and last I
mean last during this week, all of a sudden he
started popping up and he was doing Instagram videos on
about halal flation, and I'm like, this is really interesting
and this is really good social media is doing. So
he's very creative, his team is creative, and he really

(31:53):
really galvanized that young audience which has got to give
him credit. The socialists and they're doing it. And let's
see if the media. But I want to go to
some other cut quick, it's cut six. He was on
the some I think it is as one of his podcasts,
and wats what he said about the Israeli.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
Leader a maya, Mum, Donnie, would you welcome prime Minister
to New York City for the.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
For whatever he comes for?

Speaker 22 (32:15):
Given the US is not a signature to the ic C,
so he can travel to the US unlike a lot
of other countries with a Mayamum, Donny, welcome Benjamin into
the city. No, as mayor New York City would arrest
Benjamin Netanyao who This is a city that our values
are in line with international law. It's time that our
actions are also, even though the US is not a
signature of the ICC. No, it's time that we actually
step up and make clear what we are willing to

(32:37):
do to showcase the leadership that is sorely missing in
the federal administration.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
They give him a basically get him a freight pass.

Speaker 20 (32:44):
Yeah, and I'd love to know what authority mom, Donnie
thinks he'd have to order New York City police to
arrest Netanya. I mean, here's someone that doesn't want to
even throw illegal immigrants who've committed crimes out of the city,
were out of the country, and yet net and Yahoo
a world leader in the city that's the home of

(33:04):
the un That's.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
Who we're going to arrest.

Speaker 14 (33:07):
That's who we're gonna prioritize.

Speaker 20 (33:09):
Arresting this guy who doesn't have a nice thing to
say about incarceration or policing at all, who was a
big defund.

Speaker 6 (33:16):
The police guy. That's what we have money for.

Speaker 14 (33:19):
We have money to fund the police as long as
they're arresting.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
And Yahoo has money, Frank, he has money for free
city on grocery stores, free buses, to fund the police.
But I'll get a lot of money to go after Bibbi, right.
But you know, I want to show you this other
clip was interesting because being a you know, a political
account leader you are now and CNN really goes over

(33:43):
to numbers that Zohen's primary did. Let's go to cut seven.

Speaker 17 (33:47):
Let me tell you this was a political earthquake that
should have the Democratic establishment running scared. What are we
talking about here, Well, New York City primary upsets like Mondani's.
This is true one for the record books. They're really
only two that I could think of that or anything
like this. And that's back in eighty nine for mayor,
when David Dickens won over third to three term.

Speaker 6 (34:08):
Mayor Ed Koch.

Speaker 17 (34:09):
Koch was running for a fourth term. The voter said,
uh uh, there was big turnout then, just like there
was big turnout last night. And of course more recently,
if you want to take a look at a national picture,
think back to twenty eighteen New York's fourteenth Democratic primer
going for Frank.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
It was an earthquake. Those Democratic primary numbers were you
amongus right? What do you think? Tell me? I never
saw those numbers were almost general election numbers I saw.
But what do you think does Adams? I want to
get your thoughts on those incredible numbers? And also does
Eric Adams have a shot or sleeve We're going to
get out. Give us your little political diagnosis, you final thoughts.

Speaker 14 (34:44):
So honestly, in terms of handicapping the general election, I
think it is going to be very difficult for Mom
Domini as the Democratic nominee to win without the black vote,
and if Adams is in the general election as an independent.
I think the overwhelming majority of the Black vote goes

(35:07):
to Adams. I don't see a scenario really where the
Democratic nominee can win without the Black vote and without
wide swaths of the Jewish vote. And given some of
the things that that mamdanias said, not only about net
and Yahoo, but about using the term globalized the FATA,
I think he's going to have a very difficult time
with both the Black vote.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
And then you think you think Eric can pull it off.
Quick final look, I.

Speaker 14 (35:30):
Think both Adams and Sliwa have a path to victory.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Okay, Frank, thanks for joining us. Appreciate I'll see you soon. Leank.
You go to it up last. I want to go
from let's go, want to go from the hated on
msm AC and now people are all the contributors all
because they go off to Trump. Who's the next one
they're propelling that? More coming up on Media Exposed, Welcome

(36:11):
back to media experts. Say one bad word about Trump
and the media turns you from a radical to respect
it overnight. Simple formulae. Do it over and over again.
Tom Massey's been slammed for years now. He's MSNBC's new
post A boy, it's the same script. We went from
a Scaramucci to Grissom to John Kelly to Trump, trash Trump,

(36:33):
and you get a book, deal, a segment, a contributorship.
Alissa Farrahs on the view, there's another one. She was
a spokesmosson for the first Trump administration. Massy was a
kookie when he questioned COVID lockdowns. Now he's their voice
of reason because he trashed Trump. The hypocrisy hasn't even
hit it anymore. If you stand with Trump, you're a

(36:55):
threat to democracy. If you stab in the back, you're
a truth teller. The media is not looking for integrity,
just new anti Trump content over and Ova Massey didn't
change to me, He just found the temporary tool to
wheel against him as soon as he's usually be back
to bring being a right wing extremist. I want to
holcome my next guy, Katie Zacharia, political strategists, legal strategists,

(37:16):
and you know, fighting for California out there. Katie, thanks
for joining us from Thank you great State of California.

Speaker 23 (37:23):
But assume right well, we're working on it very very tirelessly.
But Gavin Newsom's actually making it pretty easy to win
voters for the Republicans.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
Yeah, House Gavin Newsom's podcast doing, he's more worried about rioting.
He's worried about his podcast than rioting happening, right, seems
like that.

Speaker 23 (37:41):
And he started a substock so he can have his
echo chamber and no challenges to anything he's saying. And
he's ditched the let's invite conservative voices on because it
didn't work for him.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
So really so stopped inviting the conservatives on and he
went to his own little echo chamber. Probably got to
him too much, right, that's us left usually does. They
open up for a little bit and he can't take
take it anymore. But you know, I noticed this thing,
and it's over and over again with Trump. And now
we're on Trump two point a decade since you first
became president, when we first started running. It's a decade

(38:15):
no matter what if it's a democratic president. The people
that criticized you don't hear a whisker from the They
criticize Obama nothing. Soon somebody like Thomas Massey goes against
the big budget bill, criticize them for the bombings. He's
on MSNBC, he's on THEO Von. He's on CNN. They
celebrate anybody that goes against Trump. It's a formula, right,

(38:38):
So I wanted to play his cut cut eight. Here
it's Thomas Massy who's on THEO VON and he's going
after a pack of bowl watches. Do you feel like
Israel is a fair ally?

Speaker 10 (38:49):
Are they a good ally for us?

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Well?

Speaker 10 (38:53):
Or is that too general of a question.

Speaker 24 (38:54):
Well, I think it doesn't matter. Like there's no big, giant,
great Britain lobby, there's no Australian lobby, there's no German lobby.
Oh the other countries don't have them. No, No, not
like this. This is singular. This is unique. I mean,
if you're an ally, why wouldn't we work with you?
Why do you have to convince this that you're our ally?

(39:14):
Why do you have to basically go into every congressional
office and convince them? And it's because they want to
keep the money flowing and that they've got a good
return on their investment. I mean, we send more foreign
aid to Israel than to any other country. Yeah, they're
you know, like ten million people or something.

Speaker 6 (39:35):
Yeah, I think Tennessee.

Speaker 24 (39:36):
I don't know this population to Tennessee, but it's probably
about you know, on that order.

Speaker 6 (39:41):
Yeah, I think they should.

Speaker 20 (39:41):
They said, we spent like twelve billion dollars, but that's
not actual dollars.

Speaker 10 (39:44):
It's in military aid, right.

Speaker 24 (39:46):
Yeah, it's well, it's it's dollars in conditions and treasury. Yeah,
but it's not like we give them. It's a it's
a gift certificate that's redeemable at Lockheed Martin and your
local raytheon.

Speaker 5 (39:59):
You know.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
Okay, got it.

Speaker 10 (40:00):
So that's kind of how that works.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Yeah, okay, got it.

Speaker 24 (40:04):
Why yeah, why do they have this uh car about
that's just for them?

Speaker 1 (40:10):
But it's kind of like taking a swipe of Trump
because Trump's so pro Israel and he was sticking up
for Israel and he's getting celebrated lately Massy because he
went a gets so, but how about Israel surrounded by
about fifteen twenty enemies. It's a small country size of Jersey.
That's why they need a pac and that's why they
need our help. That only democracy is spreading democracy over there.

(40:32):
What do you think of the point, is, Katie, what
do you think of like the behavior of the media
that all of a sudden, Massy goes after Trump and
now that it's celebrating him.

Speaker 23 (40:42):
Well, it's typical of the media, and this isn't that
far off for who Thomas Massey's been. One of the
things I do like about Thomas Massey is he always
pokes holes in a narrative for me. That worked very
well during COVID, and he was one of the few
going after the pharmaceutical industrial complex. He's one of the
few that goes after the military industrial complex, and I

(41:04):
think he's kind of a pain in a foreign and
Trump's side, however, there is always one of those. I
think it's not very very flattering for Thomas Massey to
be heading out to MSNBC and doing the run around
with the liberal media because they just want someone to
tell them and assuage them and tell them that yes,

(41:24):
they're dislike for President Trump is on point. So Thomas
Massey should be supporting his party, supporting the president. There's
other ways of challenging things in the bill without going
against President Trump, and he should have made those issues
known before we had this bill.

Speaker 1 (41:43):
Look of Thomas Massey, Yes, that's right. He's a sitting
congressman to go against and question the bill, the big
budget bill right, or question the war he's allowed to
do that. Trump went after Mont social media and that
raised it, and that's all of a sudden, the media sees, Wow,
Trump's going after Let's call up Thomas Massey as Cut

(42:03):
nine shows and he's brought on one of the biggest
morning shows. Let's go to cut nine.

Speaker 15 (42:08):
Suddenly. We talked to other lawmakers about as well. In
the Senate. I know there's efforts to support you, but
the Speaker of the House, who is from your own party,
has really rejected this. He says the Article one Power
of Congress really allows for the president to do this.
It was a limited, necessary, targeted strike.

Speaker 6 (42:28):
He says, well, he's.

Speaker 25 (42:29):
Probably referring to the War Powers Act of nineteen seventy three,
but that's been misinterpreted. There were no imminent threat to
the United States, which was what would authorize that, And
I think that's peculiar to hear that from the Speaker
of the House. Look, Congress was on vacation last week
when all this was happening.

Speaker 6 (42:48):
Speak we haven't been briefed on any we haven't been briefed.

Speaker 19 (42:51):
They should have called us all back, and frankly, we
should have debated this War Powers resolution that Rocanna, and
I offered instead of staying on vacation and doing fundraisers
and saying, oh, well, the President's got this under control,
We're going to see our constitutional authority.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
It's the same thing with the media with the war
breaking out. It's like every angle the media looks to
cause chaos and disruption, Maga in fighting, left in fighting.
It's like, can't give this guy credit from the media.
But you know, when you think of CBS covering Massey
and overall coverage lately of the Trump administration.

Speaker 23 (43:29):
Well, how about a first acknowledgment on CBS's part. It
was an incredible military action that President Trump took and
it was extraordinarily successful. And now what every other president
since Bill Clinton, George Bush, Barack Obama, Joe Biden has
tried to do President Trump did, and they cannot even
bring themselves to give him credit for what he is due.

(43:52):
And so he's been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize,
and essentially Thomas Massey's coming on there, and I absolutely
disagree with him, and he knows darn well that there
have been many presidents that have used their powers as
commander in chief to do military strikes and take out targets.
This was a targeted act, very very few civilian casualties

(44:14):
in any and Thomas Massey's there to pair it with
the CBS wants to hear.

Speaker 8 (44:19):
So President Trump did an incredible job.

Speaker 23 (44:22):
The media, including the left wing media, should be celebrating
his victory, not trying to find alternative voices to diminish
what he did.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
Right. And then they battled. And then the administration was
battling CNN and New York Times, digging for, you know,
things that they shouldn't even be digging for. After three
days fighting that our cone commands were the assessment said,
we took it out. And anything they can to undermine
our troops, undermine the president, underine success. The media is

(44:55):
looking for in this Trump and it's sad that we
have to live through this, right, Katie.

Speaker 23 (45:00):
Yes, And they're they don't care about the truth. They
only care about their narrative.

Speaker 8 (45:05):
So we've been fighting.

Speaker 23 (45:07):
Republicans, Conservatives have been fighting the battle for truth, wanting
the facts on our side, bringing legal arguments up, and
the left just wages of war, a war against all truth,
against all facts. They throw out statistics that are not relevant.
For example, CNN release that ten percent of ICE detainees
had criminal convictions. Well, the Department of Homeland Security had

(45:30):
to come fact checks CNN. It's not ten percent, it's.

Speaker 1 (45:33):
Seventy five percent.

Speaker 23 (45:34):
It's seventy five percent of those arrested by ICE are
violent criminals that have rap sheets.

Speaker 8 (45:40):
And so to have to challenge the.

Speaker 23 (45:42):
Legacy media at every single turn just shows that they
are not interested in portraying the truth to the American people.
They want drama and they don't care if they have
the lot to lie to get it and to invoke
hatred for President Trump from the massive because he's such
a beloved president. That's the only way they win.

Speaker 1 (46:03):
Yeah. I saw this press conference in the latter part
of the week last week, and I want to ask
your thoughts on this guy somebody else earlier, Defense Secretary
hegset really went after the media. Do you think he's
even keel in the way he's doing it or should
calm it down a bit? What's your thoughts on that?
Did you see that happened to see?

Speaker 8 (46:24):
Absolutely?

Speaker 23 (46:25):
I think they're angry that their actions that were taken
that were extraordinarily successful that around the world. As President
Trump went to the NATO summit, were celebrated that at home,
you have the legacy media going after him, and honestly,
Pete Hegseths should be angry at the media for how
they've portrayed this. The anger is justified President Trump's anger

(46:48):
and swear. We're definitely justified in the moment because these
are times that require honesty, integrity, and for people to
do what they say that we're going to do, and
to actually as journalists for present the facts in an
unaustrated way.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
Katie, I want to thank you for joining us. As always,
