Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Media Exposed. This week, we're going to look
at the Epstein files. That was really big in the news.
It's big, a maga revault. They didn't live up to
what they promised the administration. We're going to take a
look at that. We're also going to take out the
floods that happened down in Texas and why are they
blaming the government officials and why they blaming the GOP again,

(00:20):
as the media always seems to do in this tragedy,
let's just worry about getting safety and caring about the families.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
We take a look at that.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
We're also going to take a look at Congress and
how they're fighting against the waste and fraud. We're gonna
take over the New York City race again. It seems
like it's taken up in the whole country. The breath
of the whole country, New York City, it is the
biggest city in the country. We're going to look at that.
More coming up on Media Exposed.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
To What they do.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Say is fake.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Coc That's how devious the media has become their full
force activists.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
Now they colluded Trump folks.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
We're in on it.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Levy Sway's elections, sways policy. We need to expose them.
Republicans trash the contrary.

Speaker 5 (01:16):
Yeah, it stops.

Speaker 6 (01:24):
I've been doing this since I was eighteen. I've had
hit jobs done against me. I've been attacked by media reports.
Are afraid no old truth will prevail. Thank news Media,
We're here to call you out.

Speaker 7 (01:39):
Heidens.

Speaker 8 (01:45):
Media Exposed with Adam Wise starts.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Now, welcome back to Media Exposed. We're gonna take a
look at some cultural moments that are happening some late
night talk shall want to make. My first guest is
always Justin Murray from the Media Research Center NewsBusters. They
do a lot of great work that we have to
get the research from and a lot of people get
their research from it. Justin, thanks for joining us as always.

Speaker 5 (02:12):
Great to see you again, Justin.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
And I saw this a report ninety nine percent of
late night guests this year we're liberals. Ninety nine percent.
You know, they didn't learn a thing. They might have
even got worse. It's not just, you know, because it's comedy.
It's late night comedy, and they've turned into activists. They
might even turned to a worse activists than they used
to be. It's complaining about all the time. I don't

(02:35):
know how they're keeping any of their audience. No one
their gutfeld over and the Fox was beating them. But
they look like left wing talking points, and what is
it with them that they're so psychologically deranged. When I
grew up, which I don't want to say how long
ago it was, but we had Johnny Carson. We had
David Leedman, but he turned into a radical later in

(02:55):
his life. But they were just comedy. You didn't even
know what political persuasion. When I'm but holfuly, we thought
this time around there would be a bit of a change.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Do you see.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Any cultural moments, You see any change of them at
all in the near future?

Speaker 9 (03:12):
Of course not, because self reflection is such a foreign
concept to them. They're so self obsessed and they think
they'll keep the celebrity forever. But you see in their ratings,
no one's watching them anymore unless you're an old boomer,
and that's all you get unless you're only watching them
if you're in a dental chair and you're really being

(03:32):
forced to watch them, or you're in a.

Speaker 7 (03:34):
Hospital bed at home.

Speaker 9 (03:36):
That's the only thing they have on the left is
completely unfunny. They're not comedy shows, and they think they're
really funny. But all they are, as you said, they're
just activists, and they're whiny and depressed, and you can
see it on the scowls on their faces. And once
again it's why nobody's tuning in. But somehow they'll continue
to beat their heads against the wall over again and

(03:57):
expect a different result.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
You know.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
And and news buses there MRC pointed out for years
and years PBS and PR was so biased, so radical,
and you always wondered, how are they staying in business.
And it wasn't until this administration finally had the goal
to say we're cutting Elon Musk went in and said,
wait a second, all these they're getting all this money

(04:22):
for funding for overseas and in the States for what
most of our we have to get donations. You have
to get donations. Most most media have to go through
their own private investment and or funding on their own.
And these left wing outlets were being funded no matter,
you know, no wonder they were being supported, no wonder

(04:43):
they be it supported no monday. They we were able
to do what they wanted to do. And they what
did they justify, Well, we're for the public good. No,
you're for the left wing ideologues, correct.

Speaker 10 (04:51):
What do you think exactly?

Speaker 9 (04:53):
I like to call them welfare outlets. I was actually
outside one of these protests where these and PBS types
they were trying to pull out our heartstrings. And they
brought out Almo and Big Bird and the Count insisting that, oh,
you're going to kill the Sesame Street characters if you
defend PBS, in though Sesame Street hasn't been owned by
PBS for ten years. And we brought our giant tower

(05:16):
a left leaning bias over fifteen years, our documentation by
speed by these two outlets, and I went up to
the Count puppet and I asked, can you count how
many years of left do being bias?

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Have you?

Speaker 9 (05:28):
Guys spewed, and of course they just kind of scurried away.
But I actually brought I brought this tower inside the
MPR NPPs headquarters, and they called security on me, even
though they claimed in testimonies in front of Congress saying oh,
they would love to see evidence of their bias, but
when I brought it to their faces, they shoot me
away like I was some wacko.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Well, really they're the wackos, the only thing I can
remember good out of ascent was Sesame Street from decades
and decades ago. It wasn't political that long ago. And
they even left even ruined Sesame Street over the years. Right,
but you know what Fox News report post spotlight, it
was such a massive double standard. Sixty minutes veteran Stephen Kroft,

(06:10):
I want to go to this and John Stewart, they
called Cebia's settlement a shakedown. Well, well you'd never hear
that same energy when corporate media bows down. Right, let's
go to cut one. I want to show you this
cut one. Let's put Steve Croft on John Stewart.

Speaker 11 (06:26):
Corporate pressure and political pressure have never been stronger to
It doesn't feel like scrutiny on news networks. It feels
like fealty that they are being held to a standard
that that will never be satisfactory to Donald Trump. No
one can ever kiss his acid enough. I mean he

(06:48):
goes after Fox sometimes, which is crazy.

Speaker 12 (06:50):
Sixty million dollars was tribute.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
That's how he looks.

Speaker 11 (06:54):
At that's and that will contribute to the king.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Thank God. I'm on basic K which I don't think
he has.

Speaker 13 (07:03):
I think I think he only.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Cares about that work.

Speaker 11 (07:05):
Well, I appreciate Uh, I appreciate you coming on to
discuss it in this Uh.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
We didn't infuse the audience.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Can I tell you something.

Speaker 11 (07:14):
The audience is from Harvard, Like I've.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Been talking to people about.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
They don't I'm talking to these people.

Speaker 5 (07:24):
I'm gonna I'm gonna be completely harmed.

Speaker 11 (07:26):
We didn't even confuse them, We bored them.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
It was a clip earlier that John Stewart said it
was a shakedown and Stephen Crows said, I can't believe
he did this. He was distraught about the fifty minute
settlement and why you distraught? What's cut to this is
why they said, let's just this, what's just editing that happened.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyah who is not listening.

Speaker 14 (07:49):
Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted
in a number of movements in that region by Israel
that were very much prompted by or a result of
many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen

(08:10):
in the region.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyah, who is not listening.

Speaker 14 (08:15):
We're not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for
the United States to be clear, about where we stand
on the need for this war to end.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Because it was obvious CBS sixty minutes played defense for
Kamala wanted to help her, and that's why there was
a lawsuit. Wasn't a shakedown and that was one of
the only few interviews she did because she was scared
to go on any podcasts. She was scared to get out.
There was the worst run media campaign in history. But

(08:43):
that's why, not because it was a shakedown. What do
you think Justine Chard's.

Speaker 9 (08:49):
Here's are pretty rich coming from a mob that they
accused all these conservative networks of bias because they didn't
creach the script that was given to read legacy media outlets.
I worked for two major left, not left wing. I
worked for two major networks that were conservative leaning, but

(09:09):
the left constantly tried to get us deplatformed, They got
us kicked out of a cable networks, They tried to
sue us into oblivion.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
We were worried for our jobs because.

Speaker 9 (09:19):
We did not preach the left wing script. And now
suddenly they're crying down in fascism.

Speaker 7 (09:26):
They're the ones.

Speaker 9 (09:26):
Who claimed, oh well, free speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences.
They're the ones who preached so called accountability to censor
anybody else who did not preach what the legacy media preached.

Speaker 7 (09:38):
And now they're whining.

Speaker 9 (09:39):
Because they're getting a little bit of a taste of
their own medicine.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
There were groups that every knife and the left that
sit down, watch every word that your network used to
work for, Box News, Newsmacs, all sorts of this network
that watch everything of Steve Bannet says, watch for one
little word that sounds racist homo folk, then go after them,
and go after advertised. This network out advertised is canceled.

(10:03):
Other networks that tons of advertised canceled, And meanwhile the
left was getting funding from taxpayers. Give me a break.
It's not the way it's supposed to be. It all
supposed to be free market. Let ideas flow and Kamala
had no ideas. It was a podcast I saw missing,
but I saw it yesterday as an interview she did.
It was a friendly podcast, and it was all sorts

(10:26):
of word sylum. She's talking about bacon or something sort
of out there, and she and they got in the podcast.
The friendly podcasters refused to run it. He said it
was so bad, I can't run it. I mean, what
a joke it was that they almost pulled in the
old days just I don't get you thought of those
they might have pulled the wool over the American people
because of legacy media and the way propelled to Thank

(10:48):
god there was alternative media, right, give me your final thoughts.

Speaker 7 (10:53):
Yes, certainly.

Speaker 9 (10:53):
And now the left there finally for once getting pushedback.

Speaker 5 (10:58):
You have new.

Speaker 9 (10:58):
Voices in the briefing room, and the American people are
realizing they're no longer going to just put up with
being censored. They're not going to put up with these
leftist double standards.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Justin thanks for joining us, Have a good weekend, See
you soon, Thank you soon. To end up. Coming up,
we're going to look at Joharan Mom, Donnie's mayoral future
and how's that coming, along with the other candidates. But
next with dozens still missing, the mainstream media immediately jumped
to blame Trump, Texas officials flash floods and politicize a

(11:32):
national tragedy. That and more coming up on Media Exposed.

(12:09):
Welcome back to Media Exposed. Nature is in partisan, but
the media show is when it comes to floods and hurricanes.
The idea that Trump and the Trump administrators a responsible
for not like flash floods, is politically motored nonsense by
the media. When a Democrat is in power like Obama,
I don't even remember the floods. I don't remember the hurricanes,

(12:30):
you know, derailment or Gavin Newsom when it's destroying the
state with fires. The media doesn't jump on him or
to blame him. You know, so the media calls it
a tragi not a failure of leadership. When it happens,
same storm hits different depends the same storm when it hits.
It depends on the president who they blame. When Hurricane
Katrina decades ago hit, the left crucified Bush. Now they're

(12:53):
trying to repeat history with Trump. Yet no one blames
Biden when disasters to strike, from Mahu My, Hawaii burning
to the border collapsing. If a program breethes wrong, it's
a crisis. If a Democrats sleeps through it, it's a
complex issue. Media selected outrage again, selective outrage never noticed

(13:13):
how disasters under Democrats are acts of God, but under
Republicans the dereliction of duty. This isn't news, it's a narrative.
The double standard is just obvious. It's dangerous. Stop blaming
Trump for whether and start asking why current leaders aren't
doing their jobs. Meanwhile, media is trying to resurrect you know, Adams.

(13:34):
And then we'll talk about that later lit more, I'm
going to talk about it. We'll bring my next guests in,
David Zeer host a breaking David, thanks for joining us.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Hey, Adam, great to be here.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
I want to I want to talk about this because
I see it every in decades and decades it happens.
I can remember George Bush, the junior son, when he
was president and he took the helicopter over Hurricane Katrina,
and I can still viv Do you remember the media
crucifying for taking a helicop? Well, what were you supposed
to do? Go in the water, and he needed to

(14:07):
go fly over there see the damage. He was the
president and they crucified for taking a helicopter. And I
don't think his approval rating ever recovered with the media.
Do you remember that.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
I remember it vividly.

Speaker 13 (14:19):
And that rescue effort or the first week of Katrina
rescued eighty five thousand people. It was the most ever
rescued in the United States. And remember under mayor Chocolate
City Ray Naggins. He said, New Orleans is a chocolate city,
and the useless governor at the time, Kathy Blanco, fifteen

(14:40):
hundred buses were sitting.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
In a yard in New Orleans. They didn't evacuate the people.

Speaker 13 (14:45):
And remember, the people in New Orleans were warned for
days that Ponzer train was going to overflow and rise
I think as much as eighteen feet. They didn't leave.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
So, as tragic as it was, that was not George W.
Bush's fault.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
But as tragic as that was, what CNN does is
tragic as soon as the hurricane hits, as soon as
the floods hitting Texas, says saying, let's pray for the families,
Let's give information when people can go to no what
they do is, let's figure out how to blame Trump.
Let's go to cut three and what's Betsy client CNN
placing blame on the floods on the federal government.

Speaker 12 (15:24):
The President has been deeply critical of FEMA. He says
he plans to phase out that agency at the end
of this hurricane season. And second, going forward, the President's
budget for fiscal year twenty twenty six, which they are
already starting to implement does make cuts and even closes
some of these weather research labs that are so critical

(15:45):
for forecasting. They really give that data that we need
for better forecasts. The tools that they use to collect
that data are now experiencing cuts. DOSEE, the Department of
Government Efficiency also cut hundreds of employees that know which
is the National Oceanic and an Atmospheric Administration, as well
as the National Weather Service. It's really too soon to

(16:07):
know at this stage whether this had any sort of
impact on this notification effort. The President has been deeply
critical of FEMA, the federal Emergency Management Agency. He says
that he plans to phase it out at the conclusion
of this year's hurricane season. Separately, the Trump administration's proposed

(16:27):
fiscal year twenty twenty six budget, which it's already abiding by,
offers massive cuts to some weather research labs that are
vital to forecast extreme weather events like this. They collect
better data for better forecasts, and the tools that they
are using here are experiencing cuts right now.

Speaker 15 (16:48):
Now.

Speaker 12 (16:49):
DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency, has also cut staffers
at NOAH, the National Oceanic You know.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
What they're doing. He's misinterpreting the actual policy they want
to do. They want to give more money to the
states to run these natural disasters, not getting rid of
all the money. It's so disingenuous of CNN to do this.
And that was right. That was the weekend of the
heart That was the weekend last weekend of the damage
in the hurricane. It's the think of it, David, You

(17:16):
got it. They're sitting in a room, they're worrying about
let's do let's do a report, Let's do a segment.
It's very important national news, and that's what they and
that's what they bring to the public.

Speaker 13 (17:25):
There is absolutely zero evidence of anything to do with
Trump and the new administration regarding these horrific biblical floods.
And as Ben Berkwan, our very own Ben Berkwon points out,
you know that these the law enforcement thereon Kirk County
has been doing this incredible job, and the media is

(17:47):
getting these little zings in planting seeds and they're trying
to create a narrative that somehow Trump is to blame.
And why don't they shed some light on the Austin
Firefighters Union, which is calling for a no confidence vote
against the Austin Fire Department. Police chief who denied additional
emergency personnel on several occasions even prior to the storm,

(18:11):
and you know, call out him and others, but listen,
there was nobody who could have stopped.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
What occurred had nothing to do with Donald Trump.

Speaker 13 (18:20):
And remember like East Palestine, and remember Hurricane Helene, the
FEMA response and the presidential response. Buddhaj Edge was on
a date with his husband, wouldn't even take questions in
Ohio on the ground here. The media did not call
them out for dereliction of duty.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Do you know who's supported East Palis sign who went
to the public and showcase it. Rev Our own network
many times, anytime, multiple specials did to showcase it. Not
a blame from the national media on Biden. And he
I don't even know if he went. He went, Actually
he was forced member was forced to go down there
because Trump went first. Yeah, an ex president went first

(18:57):
to support the people of Ohio.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
And brought in the.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Palettes of water and then Buddha j Edge had like
a little child, had to go right after Trump. That
was sad that that had to happen.

Speaker 13 (19:08):
Yeah, and remember a Hurricane Helene. Part of the early
voting in there, there was a two percent greater turnout
in western North Carolina and early voting in North Carolina.
They came out for Donald Trump because of the pathetic
job that Joe Biden did for those victims. And I
think targeted outside of Boone Coleman, Boone County, which is Asheville,

(19:30):
the San Francisco of the South, everywhere else around it.
Twenty six disaster areas were heavy, deep red districts, and
they probably slow walk the response.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
But it's sad that we have to sit in and
point out that the media uses natural tragedies, horrific tragedies
and blame on an administration when it's a Republican administration,
and at least the administration that fights back, and they
and the press pool of press spokes fighting back of
this narrative because they're really we heard George Bush the

(20:01):
Sun I tomit this day. It really hurt as a
rule rating. They went in and they were confused because
you know, back then it was two thousand what year
was it two thousand and six, so two thousand and five, Yeah, Trina,
we didn't have we didn't have our network, we didn't
have other networks, we didn't have alternative media. Podcast didn't exist.
So whatever that narrative was, David from the national media,

(20:24):
it took. It took a well, they.

Speaker 13 (20:26):
Just showed the picture of a bush looking out of
Air Force one along the shoreline of Louisiana or Mississippi,
I believe.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
And you were down there with Halle Barber during that right.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
Oh yeah, we built the scent good memory. We built
the center. I mean was it Ellen Rattner and Marsha
barbera and team right away from that day she went
down there and rebuilt the center called the Marsha Barbara Center.
We went to a great event in Mississippi. It was
a seventeen years ago.

Speaker 13 (20:51):
Well so the governor of Mississippi, Halle Barber, former RNC
head right, did a wonderful job in the response right
as opposed to Louisa who could not get out of
their own way at that time.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
It was great clean up. They did a great job.
It shows leadership could matter. And Disantos did a great
job last year. It was amazing how quickly he got
things back moving. He wasn't out, you know, to lunch
like many others. But you know, it comes to being
when I can't even recall when there's a Democratic president

(21:23):
Obama Clinton when there's hurricanes, because they don't blame him
on it. It's hard to remember, right.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
Well, yeah, and they were big hurricanes.

Speaker 13 (21:32):
There was a lot of flooding in North Carolina on
the previous presidents.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
Let's watch this compilation sort of cut forth. What's this
compilation I did of blaming Trump?

Speaker 5 (21:41):
We even following the.

Speaker 4 (21:42):
Trump administration's cuts to the National Weather Service? Is it
too early to tell at this point if that had
an impact on what happened here?

Speaker 16 (21:48):
The President's megabill, which he just signed into law, makes
cuts and even closes some weather research labs.

Speaker 12 (21:55):
The Austin, San Antonio office is missing a warning coordination
meteorologist to the Trump administration's buyouts.

Speaker 17 (22:01):
We're also learning that there were significant staffing shortfalls of
the National Weather Services offices in the region.

Speaker 12 (22:07):
There also have been cuts for hundreds of employees at Noah.

Speaker 16 (22:11):
Doge Team, as it's called, fired hundreds of employees at
the National Weather Service. Do you have any indication whether
those or other cuts helped play a role?

Speaker 7 (22:21):
What went wrong here?

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Did someone miss a forecast?

Speaker 16 (22:23):
Was it a late forecast?

Speaker 2 (22:24):
Was it a late warning?

Speaker 4 (22:25):
Depretions in the National Weather Service and Noah may be
a cause because of Doge and firing. It is interesting
because those cuts were made and it does make you
wonder if perhaps this is causing any second thoughts.

Speaker 8 (22:39):
The biggest cut in the American safety net in history,
that is two thousand days of death like we've seen
in Texas this weekend. In my seventy years, I've never
been as embarrassed for my country on July fourth.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Let's David give me your thoughts in that copula. It's
like they all get a fan with all the same
talking points.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
I think they're reprehensible and evil.

Speaker 13 (23:05):
There is zero connection between the Trump administration and what
happened in Texas, and these storms have occurred before. And
then you got Bill Nye out there saying fossil fuels
that the blame for the storm. You know, nineteen eighty seven,
ten kids lost on that bus. Similar situation, very hard
to predict. You could be wrong by an inch on

(23:25):
a map and it could be a matter of life
and death. And this had nothing to do with Donald Trump.
The mainstream media, legacy media is completely corrupt and evil.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Thanks Dave for joining us always on this set up. Next,
does the media finally have a problem with mom Donnie
the new communist socialist savior of New York. We're going
to talk about that. Eric Adams, the campaign New York City,
it's in that. More coming up on Media Exposed, Welcome

(24:11):
back to Media Exposed. According to NewsBusters, the leftist media
spent a total of eighty five seconds on Zoe Ramandani's
crazy mark six policy questions. They don't carry as the
communists socialists. One thing they did care about. They lied
that he was black man. Donnie's praised for Cuba. The
fun Israel rhetoric and anti American positions, no big deal.

(24:33):
But checking the wrong box, boy, that gets you in
big trouble on a college out. Now they're a little
bit outraged. Now, New York Times only ran this story
because Rufo beat them to beat them to it. The
media didn't break this out of principle. They panicked when
a conservative exposed it first. This was about control, not truth.
Ideological insanity gets a pass, identity fraud doesn't. The left

(24:56):
tolerates radicalism all day because kind of what's that they believe?
But lie about a race in the PROCUREUS ivy League system.
That's the unforgettable sin. It is about protecting the system,
not accountability. The left's elites care more about Columbia's reputation
than I'm Donnie's pout. He embarrassed that club. That's why
they were a little mad at him. I'm going to

(25:17):
do with that more. We're going to talk about because
Eric Adams continues his big rehabilitation tour after indicts and
apart in the streets are mess still. I'm going to
look at that too. I want to make my next
guests Alena Bonso. She's a GOP council candidate in Manhattan
Upper east Side, Midtown. Right, Lena, what's the cover A

(25:39):
little bit of area as you covered.

Speaker 18 (25:41):
I'm on the ballot for the general election November fourth.
My district is five, so it spans from fifty eighth
Streets ninety sixth Street, mostly east of the Third Avenue border,
and then a little bit around Museum Ile.

Speaker 5 (25:55):
I also have all of Roosevelt Island.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
When you took this jump, did you think we'd have
a communist Socialists as the leading candidate now for mayor?
And they got upset. He got a little upset. They
championed them. They won't call him out for his radical policies.
But he checked the box early and to get into
the college because he said, you know, because their mentality
is they created this, so they checked boxes to help
them get better points. It's not supposed to wete society's biz,

(26:21):
but to medi he got a little upset at them.
But I want to go to a uh clip here,
I want to play this clip. So I went on
to reach his peak celebrity status, and he's got very
creative marketing. Let's just cut five here.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
Every take is alright, that's that's a tourists watching. That's out. Okay,
you want to photo brother, Yeah, yeah, let's take it.
Let's take it. Yes, yes, that's he. That's yes, we
can take one. Thank you. I appreciate you. I put
it somebody that want thank you on our ways. Thank you,

(27:02):
thank you. Let's go. I guess, thank you, thank you.
Oh good, you gotta catch up to me over here.
How are you doing? Thank you, guys, thank you, thank you,
thank you, my man. I appreciate you. Thank you.

Speaker 10 (27:18):
Me appreciate samonco. Sorry, ready, okay, thanks, she's coming, thank you.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
I thank you, my daughter, I thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you, thank you. No, no, no, let's go. Okay,

(27:52):
I'll do it for you. I'll do it for you.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
Okay, I got you, Sammara, webody who's runs for office, Lena,
you might even watch that too, even though he's got
zany wacky socialist policies in that clip which he put out,
seems to be very likable there, but showing that his
new status, people know who he is. He's personable. What

(28:17):
do you think about that his marketing skill set.

Speaker 18 (28:21):
Sixty days ago, most people did not ever hear his name,
and those like me who heard his name absolutely never
thought that he could become our potential next mayor.

Speaker 5 (28:33):
But what he did really well is.

Speaker 18 (28:36):
He capitalized in the twelve years of our failed democratic
leadership in New York City. He tapped into all these
voters frustrations about the quality of life.

Speaker 5 (28:45):
And he sold them fantasies.

Speaker 18 (28:47):
He sold them utopia, he sold them things that you know,
the match just doesn't add up there. But like anybody
else who's listening to this, they're frustrated, you know, with
the cost of living, affordability, right, prime safety, all the
things that matter to everybody, except his solutions are not

(29:08):
the solutions that will help New York City, and it's
not the things that are fair for everybody where I
am running and I want the same thing I hear everybody.

Speaker 5 (29:19):
I agree.

Speaker 18 (29:20):
We need to address these real problems, and I have
real solutions that we can do for the homeless situation,
for the mentally ills. It just reopen state institutions that
we're closed between nineteen seventy and nineteen ninety. And we
need to remove these individuals and place them there because
right now the city's not really doing anything. Sure, they

(29:41):
have shelters, and they're ignoring the real problems. They're ignoring
the mental illness, they're ignoring the drug addiction, and they
have one solution for everybody.

Speaker 5 (29:50):
We have a shelter.

Speaker 8 (29:51):
So here you go.

Speaker 18 (29:52):
It's available. Take advantage of it. Where we need to
now in order to make our streets safer. Remove them
from a sub from parks, give them the help.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
That they need.

Speaker 18 (30:02):
They'll have a bed, they'll have a meal, It'll be
safer from everybody, for everybody. It'll reduce the burden of
our of our police. We also need to support our police,
which is not what he wants to do. He wants
to basically quit a bunch of therapists or you know,
in the subway system, so you know, with brochures to

(30:22):
stop possible bad things from happening. So what are these
people going to do when they see somebody pointing a
gun at somebody else? Are they going to run there
and put their brochure in front of them? I mean,
it's just ridiculous some of the things that he's put
out there.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
Well, that's the mentality to the left. Everything is a
therapy session. There's no wrong, right or wrong. But you're
at a good thought. You had, you know, a good
point there. He tapped into the failures of Democrats, even
though he is a Democrat. He bashed on rents are
too high, But who's been in control of the city
for decades? Democrats always right. So everything you bashed upon

(30:57):
this city was ruled by the Demoocratic party. Rents are
too high, you know, out of control. Costs are too high.
And now this is crazy. He wants to raise people
can't afford it, Businesses can't afford to stay in business, retails,
rents are too high, and he wants to raise minimays
to outrageous pricing that will really chase business away. His

(31:19):
policies think but he's very good at creative. He does
it with a smile. So I want to go to
this other clip because I want to talk about our
current mayor who's on this rehabilitation tory. He seems to
be a nice guy. I like him, but reality, I
don't know if he's living in reality. Because I took
a walk this week and check out my clip here

(31:39):
Cut six the homeless person between fifty nine and fifty
eight on seventh Avenue. Let's go to cut six, sixth
Avenue for fifty two, one of the atmospheres.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
Walcot my block here.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Fourth This is sixth area twenty fifty nine, fifty three
three and a little block. The mays up, give me
your right, and you know, Lena, people that are going

(32:23):
to watch us here don't realize blocks are short in
New York. That was actually seventh down. You only between
fifty nine and fifty eight and four homeless people sleeping
on one little block.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
Absolutely.

Speaker 18 (32:35):
I live in the area Upper east Side right and
at night, I as well sometimes walk home by myself,
not very far. But there is literally one or two
homeless on every street, even on an Upper east Side neighborhood.
So it's not just you know, downtown, or it's not
just the bad neighborhood or it's neighborhoods that are you know,

(32:56):
not as residential. It's everywhere. And that is why I
believe we need to deploy more police officers.

Speaker 5 (33:01):
We need to fund them.

Speaker 18 (33:02):
We need to have extra officers at night in our
neighborhoods and on our subways until we find a solution.

Speaker 5 (33:08):
You know, people have been you know in this party
for the last two decades in New York City and
they have not addressed the homelessness problem at all. But there,
you know, affordability is another problem. That's actually what drives.

Speaker 18 (33:19):
Them to become you know, addicted to drugs and homeless,
and that's how they end up on our street. So
what we need to do is we need to do
rezoning because there is over twenty thousand units in the
city that could be revamped and rezoned into affordable housing.

Speaker 5 (33:35):
But the problem right now is that the way that they're.

Speaker 18 (33:37):
Structured, they have to comply with city regulations for you know,
these these rents. For example, I know somebody that has
you know, a very old house and they want to
make twelve units out of that house. And they went
to the city, and the city said, well, you know,
you can get a loan. It'll cost you two million
dollars to create you know, twelve units that you can rent,

(33:59):
but you have no history renting this space, so you're
going to start at four hundred dollars around a month.

Speaker 5 (34:05):
So this is just one example. We have options to
create affordable housing.

Speaker 18 (34:11):
And I also, if I'm elected, I would propose legislation
where the city funds this or the city gives every
landlord about one hundred thousand dollars that they could use
per to finance per unit and create affordable housing and
create you know, livable legal spaces from on used spaces

(34:33):
such as basements, addicts or neglected.

Speaker 5 (34:37):
You know space that they have in their old buildings.
So that would sold problem.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
We are media exposed here, so hopefully the media gives
all of them a fair shot, because there's a lot
of them still in this race for Mayor Curtis Lee.
People seem to be forgetting Curtis, but hopefully the media
gives them enough attention. People are asking them.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
To drop out.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
But Eric's books, like I said, and you said, three
and a half close to four years he's been the
mayor and there's homeless people sleeping everywhere in some of
the richest zip codes in this country. Give me quick
final thoughts on the four way race. Who are you
supporting at this moment? Quick final thoughts.

Speaker 5 (35:15):
I would not vote for Adams.

Speaker 18 (35:17):
I don't believe he did enough for the things that
matter for New York and I'm just not willing to
risk another four years.

Speaker 5 (35:24):
I will obviously, I don't want to vote for Mandani either.
I want to protect City Hall.

Speaker 18 (35:29):
We need to create a firewall and City Hall to
make sure none of his dangerous legislation gets through.

Speaker 3 (35:35):
Lena gotta jump.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
Thanks for joining us and we'll see you soon. Thank you.

Speaker 5 (35:39):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
Up last, Jeffrey Epstein, it's been a revolt in the
Macat movement, conservative movement. They wanted transparency, and all of
a sudden they dropped the ball. That More and Elon's
new party. We're going to talk about that too. That
More coming up on Media Exposed. Welcome back to Media Exposed.

(36:12):
The media drools over Maga drama, ignores their own lies.
The press can't get enough when there's MAGA infighting, Bondie
versus Bongino, Musk versus Bannon, But they never held Adam
Shift for any of those accountable for years of Russiagate fiction.
Bondi Imagina over promised with this Epstein files that we're
going to release him to the public, and now the

(36:34):
media pounds. The DOJ says the Epstein client list never existed.
That was the whole point. We're going to find out
the truth, the list, the details that now the press
is having a field day. When the right stumbles, it's
a headline. When the left lies, it's a footnote. But
Elon mush drops the bomb, media pops the popcorn must

(36:55):
tweets implying Bannon knew too much and he was part
of the Epstein files. Press loves it not for the truth,
but because it splits the movement. This was a movement
that won the presidency for Trump, and the infighting they love.
They don't want accountability, they want chaos, especially when it's
from the conservative side. That but you know, Elon decided

(37:15):
this new Maggot party and the media can't hide tick
clee musk Trump separating infighting. The idea of must led
political body has CNN, MSNBC foaming at the mouth, not
because they fear it, because they think it'll fracture the right.
I want to make up next guest Gabrielle Coacchia. Gabrielle
was a former White House staffer, actually under two presidents

(37:38):
Obama and Trump. Gabriel thanks for joining us recently. Was
a Pentagon spoke a Pentagon reporter for the One America's
news network that was you know, Pete was uh, you know,
didn't like it because he didn't give enough transparency.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
He closed the door.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
You couldn't even get the I didn't even think they
let you get to the restroom right for a while.
That's how much locked up your there's.

Speaker 4 (38:02):
Only one there's only one bathroom, so you're always praying
that there's not a line because you can't go elsewhere
without an escort.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
Currently, how big is that Pentagon? They didn't let you
use the second one?

Speaker 4 (38:14):
Well, technically, just by the parameters of the memo that
have sets rolled out, it explicitly says that we do
not have that luxury other than utilizing a bathroom that
happens to be in the cafeteria quarters of which that
is always highly staffed.

Speaker 5 (38:29):
Because again we know that the DoD.

Speaker 4 (38:32):
Has the largest budget out of the whole entire government,
and that also includes honing in on the most amount
of personnel as well, government employees and contractors.

Speaker 7 (38:42):
So, yeah, it's a little wild.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
It's the cafeteria Maha. Yet it was so healthy or
small grub.

Speaker 4 (38:51):
You got your Popeyes there, you got McDonald's, you've got
very cool.

Speaker 7 (38:56):
Yeah, Panera bread.

Speaker 4 (38:58):
Yeah, No, it's not very maha. They should turn that
one around. That's like the next thing they should probably
take care of.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
So there's a big infighting this week from the magi
crowd right in the conservative crowd over the Epstein files.
They paraded all these influences at the beginning of the
a few months ago, and I never understood why are
they're parading people with binders like that. Most of this
stuff was already out in the public. It was like,
it's kind of a circus type of thing to do it,

(39:25):
But they did it. And then it was like, this
is the first step, and we're going to have true transparency.
And I want to't you see cut seven because when
originally to Pambond, the originally say she has the files
and we're going to show comperracy. Let's go to cut seven.

Speaker 19 (39:39):
We all did, and the FBI handed over a couple
hundred pages of documents. But you know, Sean, I gave
them a deadline of Friday at eight am to get
us everything. And a source had told me where the
documents were being kept, Southern District of New York. Shock.
So we got them all by, hopefully all of them
Friday at eight am, thousands of pages of documents. I

(40:02):
have the FBI going through them, and Cash is also
now that we have Cash here, it's a game changer,
of course, and Cash is going to Director Patel is
going to get us a detailed report as to why
the FBI withheld all of those documents.

Speaker 20 (40:16):
Okay, I want to be clear because I think people
got frustrated because they were expecting more.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
You were expecting more, and you didn't find out.

Speaker 20 (40:26):
Less than twenty four hours before the release, you got
a whistleblower that confirmed that there were way more documents
that they were supposed to turn over, and then you
found out just before that.

Speaker 19 (40:37):
Well sure, and you're looking at these documents, going, these
aren't all the Epstein files. You know, they were flight logs,
they were names and victims' names, and we're going, where's
the rest of the stuff, And that's what the FBI
had turned over to US, and so a source said, oh,
all this evidence is sitting in the Southern District of
New York.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
So but later on she said, we're going to show
true transparency and over the weekend. We know, if you
want to put out bad news, you do it on
the weekend, right, especially in the summertime. People are in
the beaches, nobody's paying attention, and oh, there's nothing here.
We're not going to show anything. What but actually give
MAGA conservatives credit because they're up in arms even though

(41:16):
they're supporters at a president and I want to show
you how the president deflected this. Going to cut seven
five in the Oval Office, get your thoughts.

Speaker 21 (41:24):
On this your memo and released yesterday and Jeffrey Epstein
lets some lingering mysteries of One of the biggest ones
is whether he ever worked for a American or foreign
intelligence agency. The former Leader secretary, who was Miami US
attorney Alex Costai, allegedly said that he did work for

(41:45):
an intelligence agency. So could you resolve whether or not
he did, and also could you say why there was
a minute missing from the jail house.

Speaker 17 (41:51):
Team on the Yeah, sure, I just said, are you
still talking about Jeffrey Epstein.

Speaker 5 (41:59):
This guy's been talked about for years.

Speaker 17 (42:01):
You're asking, we have Texas, we have this, we have
all of the things, and are people still talking about.

Speaker 5 (42:08):
This guy, this creep that is unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
Do you want to waste the time?

Speaker 2 (42:14):
And do you feel like answering?

Speaker 5 (42:16):
I don't mind answering.

Speaker 17 (42:17):
I mean, I can't believe you're asking a question on
Epstein at a time like this where we're having some
of the greatest success and also tragedy with what happened
in Texas.

Speaker 1 (42:28):
It just seems like a desecration. But you go ahead,
you don't gavi it. It doesn't seem like a Trump
answer usually is funny or verbon back or will answer anything.
It seems like that's his way of saying, please don't
bring this up every again. What's your thoughts on that?

Speaker 4 (42:46):
Yeah, no, Adam, I completely agree, And I think this
is one of the really we taught. Last time that
we talked, we were talking about just the fraction or
the fracture in Mago when we talk about whether or
not those on the right agree wholeheartedly that what we
should have been doing in Iran or what we're doing
in Gaza, and I think one of those elements was, well,

(43:08):
we can't have healthy debate because everyone just started drawing
a line in the sand. The one positive that I
will take away over this past weekend was that, like
you said, there were a lot of people over on
the right, a lot of you know, people that you
and I'm sure know personally that decided to not necessarily
follow the script and obey in some senses kind of

(43:29):
what the administration with lights maybe some of these influencers
in particular to kind of tout and celebrate because at
the end of the day, but exactly what you said,
this wasn't normal typical Trump. I mean when he answers
questions off the cuff that are off topic. I mean,
think about when he had Zelenski in the room in
the Oval office or any other dignitary.

Speaker 7 (43:49):
There are always going to be reporters.

Speaker 4 (43:50):
That aren't going to be focused on the exact agenda
of whatever meeting is happening right there, right then, at
that moment.

Speaker 7 (43:56):
And Trump has always answered those questions.

Speaker 4 (43:59):
He might give a little side comment or whatever it
may be a joke, sucid or actually included, but he
never doesn't not answer.

Speaker 5 (44:08):
And you know, another element to this too that I
found interesting is just pam bonding.

Speaker 4 (44:11):
You never see a cabinet member interrupt, interject and say hey,
I got the reins on this. We haven't seen one
individual in the cabinet and do that every single time
they speak at the discretion of the president. And so
even just that exchange alone seems very odd. And you know,
as a MAGA supporter, of course, it's just so it

(44:32):
is disappointing.

Speaker 7 (44:33):
I think that's when we need to seem to be fair.

Speaker 4 (44:34):
Of course, like you had said, yeah, the left always
has such a field day, becomes a footnote, a little
blip in the matrix every time that something on the
left happens, and then when on the right happens is catastrophic.
But in this moment, for us not to be to
be unrelenting, I find that to be a very good thing.
And we need to be internal and self critical at
all times, even if it's the president that we love
and we're excited to elect and still want to succeed.

(44:57):
This was something that they all ran on, telling us
that we need to care about Jeffrey Epstein, that we need.

Speaker 7 (45:02):
To care about pedophilia in the highest.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
Levels of Governelis out. She was one of the reporters
Maggan flu was given a I.

Speaker 15 (45:11):
Was at the White House that day when Pam Bondi
gave out those white binders.

Speaker 7 (45:14):
I was one of the ones who received that binder.

Speaker 15 (45:16):
So when you say before I'm invested in this, yeah,
I am invested in this because what she did made
me look like I was adding to a some kind
of click bait weirdo influencer thing online, which I don't do.
People that watch me know I'm very prudent. I don't
engage in hot takes. And I gave her the benefit
of the doubt. You give the benefit of the doubt
to people on your own side. I thought, okay, I

(45:36):
don't know why she gave us those binders if she
didn't have good stuff in those binders. But she said
there was another story. A whistleblower told her there were
truckloads of documents hopefully she'll produce, and I gave her time.

Speaker 5 (45:46):
I was patient. I gave her the benefit of the doubt.

Speaker 15 (45:49):
But here's the thing, Chris, that day in the White House,
Pam Bondy bragged about making that cover sheet on that
binder that you're showing on the screen that cover sheet
that reads the most Transparent Administration in history Epstein Files
Phase one. She told us she made that, she printed it,
she put it in that binder. How can you square
that behavior with what she posted on the partner of

(46:12):
What Justice website on Sunday saying, actually, there's nothing here.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
I don't think the story is going give me a
final thoughts on that, because there's a lot to go
on that, and they were like, yeah, the.

Speaker 3 (46:22):
Bind, this.

Speaker 7 (46:24):
Story is not going anywhere.

Speaker 4 (46:25):
I thank goodness because of people within the movement that
are staying true to the movement. We want transparency, we
want answers. You can say that this maybe this memo
was totally completely true. I don't buy that, but say
it was. There's nothing transparent about dropping it on July
fourth weekend, point blank period. And Magan knows better than that,
and the people in the administration know better than that.

Speaker 7 (46:44):
That's that's what the last administration did. Those are things
that I.

Speaker 4 (46:47):
Could even say the Pentagon has done that I've reported on,
and they were upset when I would mention when they
would roll out, in particular memos on holiday weekends or
moments when it's five pm on a Friday and no
one is running a news cycle, so I don't.

Speaker 7 (47:00):
Appreciate these games. Being in government for ten years and
also being a journalist.

Speaker 1 (47:04):
