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 covered in that. Also,

(00:21):
we took it. Celebrity moved out of the country. Guess
who that is. We're to talk about her crying on
the air. That and more coming up on media exposing.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
To you.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
What they do say is fake. That's how devious the
media has become their full force activists. Now they folks
were in on it, Sway's elections, Sways policy. We need
to expose them. Republicans, trash the contract 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 the truth will prevail. Thank News Media,
We're here to call you out.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
Heidensity.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Media Exposed with Adam Wise starts now. 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

(01:50):
guests Dave Zier here on the set. Thanks for joining us,
Dave host at breaking point, I want to Justin Murray again,
the host at Media Research Ander NewsBusters, is great job
calling out the media every single day. Justin thanks for
joining us. Me back justin the we had this massive
intervention in Iran. We jumped in the middle of the

(02:13):
Iran Israel war with our crazy bom bombbusters right 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

(02:33):
second press conference. Only second press conference, I want to
and really another question that irked him, which probably wouldn't
happen under democrat. But what's just we're going to go
to cut a here.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
Acknowledge the female pilots that also participated in this mission.

Speaker 5 (02:46):
The early messages that you sent out only congratulated the boys.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
So when I.

Speaker 6 (02:51):
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 3 (02:57):
That's fantastic. She's fantastic, she's a hero. I want more
female bomber pilots. I hope the men.

Speaker 6 (03:02):
And women of our country sign up to do such
brave and audacious things.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
But when you spin it as because I say.

Speaker 6 (03:07):
Our boys and bombers as 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 3 (03:29):
We don't play your little games.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Yes, certain that.

Speaker 7 (03:31):
The uranium was removed from a facility before.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
The B 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 8 (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 askid that women who dare to take their
key job off. And you had the legacy media calling
the administration sexist, calling Pete Hegsek the sexist, focusing on

(04:18):
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
I just think that if you're going to go in
the briefing room and you're going to act like a child,

(04:40):
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 did.

Speaker 9 (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.

Speaker 10 (04:54):
Maybe she thinks she's.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
A man, you know, I imagine whole social experiment. Maybe
she's not a man. Maybe consider trance, 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 11 (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

(06:06):
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 Rosie 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 7 (07:00):
She's a miserable tub of goo? And this is leftist ideology.

Speaker 8 (07:04):
Leftist ideology celebrates mental breakdowns.

Speaker 7 (07:07):
Mental breakdown that basically describes the entire left.

Speaker 8 (07:11):
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 lack of self control,
you should have a complete aversion to any idea of

(07:31):
individual responsibility. It's everybody else's fault that she's become.

Speaker 7 (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.

Speaker 12 (07:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (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, and she had a heart
attack thirteen years ago.

Speaker 10 (07:57):
And it's well known.

Speaker 9 (07:58):
She has struggled with alcohol and has been open about
her depression many times and mental health issues. This has
nothing to do with Trump. Remember she joked when she
got a staff infection in the early two thousand that
it was Bush's fall.

Speaker 10 (08:12):
Bigger issues here than Trump. He didn't do it.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
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 x at mainstream
media stars are 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 watch just.

Speaker 13 (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 3 (09:00):
We are only as good as our sources.

Speaker 13 (09:02):
I 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. 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 involved in
the Biden cover up. They keep insisting and insisting that

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

Speaker 7 (10:02):
They weren't basically at.

Speaker 8 (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, David, 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 9 (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
us to Checretary General NATO called Trump Watch.

Speaker 14 (10:37):
Thank you. 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 flattery and praise? Isn't it a bit demeaning?

(11:00):
Doesn't it make you it?

Speaker 12 (11:00):
Quek No, 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 you ever.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Think justin final thoughts at least the second and agent
to getting to get caught for that, you know, international
reporters gas lighting, right, give me final quick thoughts.

Speaker 8 (11:24):
Yeah, President President Trump could stop a World War three,
which is basically what he did. Yet the legacy media
will nitpick. 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.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Were yes, got to go going, thank you soon? Standing
up in New York City is reaching the point of
new return. But up next, Trump and those strikes on Iran.

(12:08):
Welcome back to media exposed. Trump bombed Iran and the
media cries no congestional approval, but Obama bomb's Libya and
they call it leadership. The double standard is laughable. As
soon as the war breaks out, infighting chaos everywhere, every angle,
the media can go against Trump for the successful bombing

(12:29):
is done when demsify Trump, they clapped upon praise the
troops under Trump, The media fact checks it when it's
Heckset 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

(12:51):
respect when respectors do comedian dance on the air to
mock the strike that Iran Trump. Colbert celebrates the fact
you if it made Trump look bad, And even though
we don't yet know the extent of the damage, the
media is going into fistful 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

(13:13):
they really know? The Left for rather troop fail than
Iran fail. Their priorities politics not National Square. I want
to bring in our guests David again on again on
SETH Thanks to David Dick, Gabrielle Gabby Kuchi, a former
White House staffer former Pentagon reporter too for o N Gabby,
thanks for joining us as always, Gaby, I want to

(13:35):
go to this cut first. It's Trump. He was at
NATO midweek and was calling out the New York Times, CNN,
MSNBC over there cover. Let's go to cut three here.

Speaker 15 (13:47):
This was an unbelievable hit by genius pilots and genius people.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
In the military and then not being given credit for
it because we have scum that's in this group. And
not only if you are yet some great, but you
have scum.

Speaker 15 (14:01):
CNN is scum, MSDNZ is scum.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
The New York Times is scum. They're bad people, they're sick.
And what they've.

Speaker 15 (14:10):
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 out the original word.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
That I use.

Speaker 15 (14:25):
I guess it got us in trouble because it's a
strong word.

Speaker 10 (14:28):
It was obliteration.

Speaker 15 (14:29):
And you'll see that and it's going to come out.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Israel is doing.

Speaker 16 (14:34):
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 7 (14:42):
Oh yeah, oh, the latch would be so dark excited?
Are you kidding me? That's what we would hear NonStop.
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

(15:03):
the Hoothy airstrikes that happened over the course of fifty
two days. It is just concluded in May, and it
was 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

(15:24):
see what was going on over the course of May,
and then we see this extraordinary feat. You know, however,
you feel of exactly what happened over in Iran, whether
we should have executed those three nuclear sites or not.
Of course, that's open for debate. I'm a huge advocate
for that within the mag movement especially, but outside of that,
just pivoting and looking at what we were doing in

(15:45):
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 target of Iran.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
That's a great point. But David, I want to say
what I was at the White House Correspondent in two
thousand and twelve or thirteen, the night 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. You notice the

(16:22):
infighting with the tearing apart they do with Trump when
he does a mission. What do you think of the difference.

Speaker 9 (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 10 (16:36):
It was classic Trump.

Speaker 17 (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. You know, finally you know
leadership and you know, if anything Trump does, it's the
end of the world.

Speaker 10 (16:52):
So what else can you expect?

Speaker 1 (16:55):
But finally, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegg said, had a
press come second press, friends, and I know you wrote
about this, and 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 a here and watch him.

Speaker 6 (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 3 (17:21):
Has MSNBC done that story? As Fox? Have we done
the story how hard that is? Have we done it
two or three times?

Speaker 6 (17:28):
So that American people understand, how about how difficult it
is to shoot 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.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
This mission really was.

Speaker 6 (17:45):
There are so many aspects of what our brave men
and women did that because of the hatred of this press,
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 3 (18:06):
It's an important responsibility.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
You know. 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 your substack and
I'm like, oh, that's interesting that you said why are
they not doing press conference? And then you talk 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 press conference, should

(18:52):
he be like, Pete, yeah, you've 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 7 (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. I

(19:23):
would say, at 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

(19:43):
Iraq g watt Era Rumsfeld did Rumsfeld being the former
Secretary of Defense, 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 should lowers temperament a little bit.

Speaker 7 (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 press
sport to ask during and press prison.

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

Speaker 9 (20:37):
Well, Jennifer Griffin has gone after Trump and listen, I
think HeiG Seth is doing a great job as Defense Secretary.

Speaker 10 (20:44):
It's going to probably take him a while to settle,
and he's kind of.

Speaker 9 (20:46):
Caught in this weird place, right, he's a TV commentator
and he's a civilian Secretary of Defense leader.

Speaker 10 (20:52):
So let's see where that goes.

Speaker 9 (20:53):
But remember Trump is the master class and he's got
thirty five years on hegset dealing with the media.

Speaker 10 (20:59):
So we'll see.

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

Speaker 18 (21:09):
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.

Speaker 15 (21:18):
Us 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 9 (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 timeslot,
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. He

(22:27):
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, give me your thoughts on that. How a late
night talk show could be so happy gloating in a
few days, he's gloating over what he thinks because so
he can see Trump fail.

Speaker 7 (22:51):
Finally, Joe, I 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, to get the
mission done, whether you want to agree or disagree about
the mission as a whole other element, but to take
an ultimate sacrifice as something that I'll never joke about,
and this administration certainly isn't at all. I think when

(23:11):
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
and have the open debate and conversation of these questions
that we need to have amongst our own base. And

(23:31):
that's what we focused 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 6 (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 treat say his progress.
Mind you, it was the left dominated media champion. This

(24:32):
guy who won, Let's be honest, Como 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.

(24:52):
It's being dragged by radicals who justify to terror and
demand destruction of Israel, and their own leaders are too
weak or too scared 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

(25:14):
off the ballot. The left just wins primaries. This is
in democracy. It's 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 plaza Downey one hundred percent communists. Lunedic has just
won the Democratic primeway. If you engineered the Democratic lab
you'd get Zoe Rammed, anti semi anti police. I want

(25:35):
to bring in my next guest. It's Frank Morano. It's
a New 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.
Thank you for having me. It's good to talk to you. Yeah, Frank,
this is like an earthquake because Cuomo jumped in. Every so, no,

(25:59):
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
little cameras here there, everywhere, and he wasn't doing interviews.
I guess his ego. He thought he'd just skate right in.

(26:22):
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 you could have stopped this guy,
and now we have a radical that could be the
next mayor.

Speaker 4 (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.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
He may think he's the incumbent.

Speaker 7 (26:57):
He may think he's entitled to this.

Speaker 4 (26:59):
I mean, you know, Zoran Mamdani is a 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

(27:20):
didn't take any risks. He didn't do forget about new media.
He didn't do conventional media, including reporters, journalists, talk show
hosts that were incredibly favorable to him.

Speaker 3 (27:32):
I think in part.

Speaker 4 (27:33):
He did that because he didn't want to make a mistake.
He thought he was so far ahead, 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.

(27:54):
We remember moments like America was never that great. We
remember moments like George Pataki helped the leader's coat on.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
Nine to eleven.

Speaker 4 (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. 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 the Trump name right, But it 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, you need to do media NonStop conc So

(28:44):
let's go to cut five. Because a local MBAC reporter
called out Mondannie not on his radical positions, but she
got him on much. Let's just cut five because.

Speaker 16 (28:52):
I think the New Yorkers more than they hate a
politician they disagree with, they hate a politician they can't trust.

Speaker 5 (28:57):
On the subject of trust, You've adopted different and speaking
accents in different scenarios, but.

Speaker 16 (29:02):
They go to their local bodega?

Speaker 5 (29:04):
Is there one that's real and one that's affected?

Speaker 16 (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? Well?

Speaker 1 (29:17):
Do I joy?

Speaker 16 (29:17):
Is it well?

Speaker 3 (29:18):
Do I joy?

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Is it well? Do I mom?

Speaker 5 (29:20):
Donnie was talking about a worldwide press tour back when
he was a rapper fish in a Disney movie directed
by his mother.

Speaker 16 (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 (29:42):
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 jo
Ron Kwami. Where did Kwame come from the middle name?
Does you got me? I don't like of all the

(30:02):
things she calls it out on, Frank, the accents, at
least she called them out the media. What do you
think about that?

Speaker 3 (30:08):
I think it's interesting one.

Speaker 4 (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. 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.

(30:32):
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 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,

(30:55):
who with the driving force behind both campaigns AOC and
the right does not have a comparable force like that.
Yet Charlie Kirk is trying to turn turning point into that.
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,

(31:19):
they're energized, they're enthused, they're willing to work, and until
the right gets some sort of equivalent to that, you're
going to see more democratic primaries won by folks like mom, Donnie.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
You know, and last night and least, I mean least
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 cool, interesting, and this
is really good social media is doing. So he's very creative,
his team is creative, and he really really galvanized that

(31:54):
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
AUS one of his podcasts, and watch what he said
about the Israeli leader.

Speaker 19 (32:08):
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 19 (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 maya mum, doney, welcome Benjamin
into the city.

Speaker 20 (32:24):
No, as mayor New York City would arrest Benjamin Netanyah
who This is a city that our values are in
line with international law. It's time that our actions are also.

Speaker 19 (32:32):
Even though the US is not a signature of the ICC.

Speaker 20 (32:34):
No, it's time that we actually step up and make
clear what we are willing to 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 21 (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 net Yao. I mean, here's someone that doesn't want
to even throw illegal immigrants.

Speaker 4 (32:57):
Who've committed crimes out of the city.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
We're out of the country.

Speaker 4 (33:01):
And yet net and Yahoo a world leader in the
city that's the home of the un That's.

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

Speaker 4 (33:07):
That's who we're gonna prioritize. Arresting this guy who doesn't
have a nice thing to say about incarceration or policing
at all, who was a big defund the police guy.
That's what we have money for. We have money to
fund the police as long as they're arresting.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
And Yahoo has money, Frank 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. The
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 Zohan's primary did. Let's go to cut seven.

Speaker 22 (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.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
Term mayor Ed Koch.

Speaker 22 (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.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
Frank 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 the final thoughts.

Speaker 4 (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 Mamdanie has said, not only about
net Yahoo but about using the term globalized the Inada,
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 4 (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.
Thank 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,

(36:11):
Welcome 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 has been slammed for years now. He's MSNBC's
new post the boy. It's the same script. We went
from a Scaramucci to Grissom to John Kelly, to Trump,

(36:33):
trash Trump, and you get a book, deal, a segment,
a contributorship. Alissa Farrah's on the view, there's another one.
She was a Spokesposton for the first Trump administration. Massey
was a kooki when he questioned COVID lockdowns. Now he's
their voice of reason because he trashed Trump. The hypocrisy

(36:53):
hasn't even hit it anymore. If you stand with Trump,
you're a 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 back to
bring being a right wing extremist. I want to holcome
my next guy, Katie Zacharia, political strategists, legal strategists, and

(37:16):
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, hou's 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 he's a 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 he 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 whisk of from the
They criticize Obama. Nothing shouldn't 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 Bold watches.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
Do you feel like Israel is a fair ally or
they a good ally for us?

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Well? Or is that too general of a question?

Speaker 2 (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.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
This is unique.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
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? 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,

(39:31):
they're you know, like ten million people or something. Yeah,
I think Tennessee. I don't know this population to Tennessee,
but it's probably about you know, on that order.

Speaker 13 (39:41):
Yeah, I think they should.

Speaker 4 (39:41):
They said we spent like twelve billion dollars, but that's
not actual dollars.

Speaker 7 (39:44):
It's in military aid, right.

Speaker 2 (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 you know.

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

Speaker 13 (40:00):
So that's kind of how that works.

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

Speaker 2 (40:04):
Why yeah, why do they have this car?

Speaker 1 (40:08):
About this just for them? Well, 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 agets. 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
pack and that's why they need our help. That only

(40:30):
democracy is spreading democracy over there. 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.

Speaker 7 (40:54):
That worked very well during COVID.

Speaker 23 (40:56):
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 think he's kind
of a pain in THEIGN 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

(41:16):
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, 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

(41:38):
he should have made those issues known before we had
this bill.

Speaker 1 (41:43):
Look of Thomas Massey, Yes, they're 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 Suddenly.

Speaker 24 (42:08):
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 3 (42:28):
He says, well, he's.

Speaker 2 (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 24 (42:48):
Speak we haven't been briefed on any We haven't been briefed.

Speaker 2 (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, well.

Speaker 23 (43:29):
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 says,
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.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
Disagree with him.

Speaker 23 (44:00):
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 in any
and Thomas Massey's there to pair it with the CBS
wants to hear. So President Trump did an incredible job.

(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 12 (44:31):
Right.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
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 con commands were the assessment said, we took
it out. And anything they can to undermine our troops,

(44:52):
undermine the president, underine success. The media is 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 not. They don't care about the truth.
They only care about their narrative. So we've been fighting. Republicans,
Conservatives have been fighting the battle for truth, wanting the
facts on our side, bringing legal arguments up, and the
left just wages a war, a war against all truth,
against all facts. They throw out statistics that are not relevant.

(45:22):
For example, CNN release that ten percent of ICE detainees
had criminal convictions. Well, the Department of Homeland Security had
to come fact checks CNN. It's not ten percent, it's
seventy five percent. It's seventy five percent of those arrested
by ICE are violent criminals that have rap sheets, and
so to have to challenge the legacy media at every

(45:44):
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 masses 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 7 (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,
it's a pleasure. We'll see you soon.

Speaker 7 (47:10):
