Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the perfect end to your day.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Jesse Kelly on seventy ten woor the Jesse Kelly Joe,
Let's have some fun on a Thursday, A magnificent Thursday. Smile.

(00:24):
We are almost at the end of the week. We
are beating up the communists in the media, and that's
a real good time. We're gonna discuss that tonight. We're
gonna discuss dealing with the media, dealing with the lies,
dealing with the communists because this lying that CNN's been
doing actually provides us a great example of how to

(00:45):
deal with these people and how to not deal with
these people. That'll be a good time. We'll talk about
Joe Biden's auto pen because of an next Biden official
that just gave some testimony about it. We're gonna talk
about how the communists, journalists himself, We're going to do
emails to communists, are after your kids. All that and

(01:06):
so much more coming up on the world famous Jesse
Kelly Show. And before I forget halfway through next hour,
Ryan Gurdusky's gonna join us. You know, Ryan Gradusky, I
don't have any guests, but I love Ryan. He did
a big analysis of the twenty twenty four election, who voted?
How and why? We just had a big report come out.

(01:28):
Ryan is gonna break it down for us. We're gonna
nerd out on some details, and then we'll move on
to other things. All right, And before I forget tomorrow
is ask doctor Jesse Friday. And you need to get
your questions emailed in right now to Jesse at Jesse
kellyshow dot com. All three hours tomorrow belong to you. Now,

(01:53):
you've undoubtedly heard and seen things about CNN and The
New York Times. I don't want to let them off
the hook, but CNN and the New York Times lying
about the Iran strikes line, this was the lie they told.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
So this is an.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Early assessment from the Defense Intelligence Agency, which is the
Pentagon's intelligence arm And we do want to emphasize that
the intelligence, of course, is ongoing. The collection is ongoing,
and the assessments as a result of that intelligence could change.
But as of right now, the DIA has produced this
intelligence assessment that we are told was based on the
battle damage assessment that US Central Command has done following

(02:33):
those massive bombings and strikes that the US carried out
inside Iran last weekend and what we are told is
that based on the assessments of the damage that these
bombs implemented on these nuclear sites that as of right now,
it does not appear that they ended or obliterated Aron's
nuclear program. Instead, they only set it back by months,

(02:56):
according to people.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Let me ask you something before we go into the
Trump administration and the great way they've handled this and
the backtracking of CNN, and we'll get do all that stuff,
but that's not really the point of all this. That's
just one story. It's one day. We'll forget about this tomorrow.
But let me ask you something. How would you handle
that if you were in office in any way and

(03:20):
the media or a Democrat or any entity was lying
about you? Because this is something we have discussed before
on the show, and we will discuss it until the
day they finally kicked me off the ear. How to
deal with communists, their tactics, and their lives. For the

(03:44):
longest time, the GOP tried to not I actually don't
even want to call it the GOP, the right because
it applied to all of us. You meet politicians, it
applied to all of us. The right tried to deal
with these kinds of blatant lies in the quote nice way.

(04:07):
And this is why it's important for all of us,
and why it matters for you. It matters for me
because jerks like me, jerks have an easier time dealing
with communists than nice people do. Let me say that again,
because maybe you are nice, and I'm not telling you
to not be nice at all. It's good. So I'm

(04:29):
glad you're nice. Jerks like me having easier time dealing
with communists than nice people do. Forever, when the media
would tell an outright lie about the Right or the GOP,

(04:49):
they would tell the lie. You know why they told
the lie. They told the lie to hurt the right,
to protect and defend the communist revolution, and to hurt
the enemies of the communist They're not media, they're not journalists.
They're communist revolutionaries who've taken the position of power they
have to further the communist revolution. But the Right didn't

(05:11):
want to speak like that, didn't want to didn't want
to sound mean, didn't want to seem mean, And so
you'd get a report like this where I mean, that
person has no idea, no idea, battle damage assessments or whatever.
That person blatantly lied, their source blatantly lied. We all
know why they blatantly lied. They lied because they believe

(05:31):
their role as communist revolutionaries slash journalists is to stop
Donald Trump, to stop any advancement on the right. Therefore,
whatever Donald Trump does, you have to trash it, you
have to make it look bad because that helps the
communist revolution. That's how they see themselves. But forever, forever,
the right didn't want to say that. The right one, well,
I don't want to see mean. You guys are really

(05:54):
biased or we got this lameness. How many times have
you heard this lameness or even said it yourself? Could
you imagine? And if the left did that, what would
they being? Could you imagine what they be saying if
this was a democrat pointing out the hypocrisy? Is there
anything lamer than that? We thought that was effective. It's
it's a way to challenge what they're saying because you're

(06:15):
mad about it. But you're not being too mean. You're
almost you're almost giving them an opportunity to defend themselves. Hey,
you're being mean and biased and this is this is
left leaning and hypocritical, don't you think? And yet they

(06:37):
never reached a handout when you did that today. It
never dissuaded them once at all. Accusations of hypocrisy never
seemed to hurt their feelings, never seem to change their tactics.
They just kept doing the same same thing, over and
over and over again, lying to hurt you, lying to

(06:57):
help them, lying to hurt you, lying to help them.
No matter what you said as a nice person, they
just kept going. It was exasperating, wasn't it exhausting? I
don't understand. I just pointed out your hypocrisy. Why haven't
you changed? Because he's your enemy. You may not know it,

(07:19):
but he knows it. He thinks about it. He wakes
up every single day and goes to work, no matter
what his job is. Maybe he works at the FBI,
maybe CNN, maybe he's a general, maybe he works in Hollywood,
maybe he's a kindergarten teacher. But he goes to work
every single day with plans to destroy you. You don't
think in those terms. You want to be nice, and

(07:43):
so finding out that someone has declared war on you
is almost too much to take. WHOA, WHOA? So we
tried to be nice. Now I'm going to dump a
heaping helping of credit on Donald Trump because Donald Trump
is a jerk. I get it. Look I'm a jerk.

(08:06):
I'm not insulting them. It takes a jerk oftentimes to
deal with communists because nice people are trying to be
nice with them, and you cannot be nice to communists.
You just can't. I'm not saying you have to do
them wrong. I'm not saying you have to commit some

(08:26):
mortal sin or something. I'm not saying that at all.
But if you believe you can deal with these people
with the utmost kindness, they will eat you alive. Nice
people get eaten alive by communists. Eaten alive jerks are
the most effective anti communists. They are. The GOP has
completely changed how it deals. It's with this kind of reporting.

(08:48):
This man des theer's a lot of credit.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
Is like CNN in particular, they're trying to you know,
they're trying to say, well, I agree that it was destroyed,
but maybe not that destroyed.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
You know what they're doing.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
They're really hurting great pilots that put their lives in
the line. CNN is scum, and so is MSD and C.
They're all and frankly, the networks aren't much better. The
CNN because I watch it. I have no choice. I
gotta watch that garbage. It's all garbage, it's all fake
is But I think CNN is a gutless group of
people and the people that run it, nobody even knows.

(09:20):
There's been sold so many times. But the people that
are running out to be a shame MSD and C
again named Brian Roberts. He heads it. He's a disgrace.
He's a weak, pathetic distrait.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Maybe you don't like that, and I understand that because
maybe you're not a jerk. Maybe you're not. I understand
if that makes you uncomfortable. But we're gonna go over
the media's response to Team Trump's response in just a moment,
and then it'll be pretty revealing when I lay it

(09:52):
out that way, how effective that is, no more how
well I mean, I'm really not sure, Natasha. That seems
like it's kind of a biased way. Could you imagine
if Democrats didn't been that never worked that never you notice,
that never made them play defense. Donald Trump and his
entire team, which I'll play it all for you came

(10:13):
out and said you're a bunch of evil, lying scumbags.
They're even naming names. You guys are dirtball creep losers
who lie about everything that hurt them so badly. They've
been running rebuttals on television all day long defending themselves.
Let's play some examples on how to deal with these communists.

(10:35):
It's gonna be a great time. I'm in a great mood.

Speaker 5 (10:37):
The Jesse Kelly Show, he's on seven tenor.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a magnificent Thursday.
Cannot get the smile off my face watching the communists
play defense and not playing defense because we were nice,
because we pointed out their hypocrisy. They're playing defense because
we finally started dealing with the lying scum bags the
way you should deal with lying scum bags by calling

(11:12):
them lying scum bags. CNN, in an effort to hurt
Donald Trump, came out with the report trying to pour
cold water over a news story that was good for
Donald Trump.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
This is an early assessment from the Defense Intelligence Agency,
which is the Pentagon's intelligence arm and we do want
to emphasize that the intelligence, of course, is ongoing. The
collection is ongoing, and the assessments as a result of
that intelligence could change, but as of right now, the
DIA has produced this intelligence assessment that we are told
was based on the battle damage assessment that US Central

(11:43):
Command has done following those massive bombings and strikes that
the US carried out inside Iran last weekend. And what
we are told is that based on the assessments of
the damage that these bombs implemented on these nuclear sites,
that right now does not appear that they ended or
obliterated Around's nuclear program.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
Instead, they only How did Trump's theme respond like this?

Speaker 6 (12:10):
Natasha Bertrand published an article in Politico from the Intelligence agency.
She said that John Ratcliffe was speaking without any evidence
when he said Iran was attempting to undermine President Trump's
presidential campaign. And then we of course found out that
was absolutely true. In fact, the Biden administration declassed an
Intel report which said they had high confidence that Iran

(12:33):
had done exactly what Ratcliffe alleged. They did run an
influence campaign to hurt President Trump's candidacy. In fact, we
know the Iranians tried to take President Trump's life. And
so this is a reporter who has been unfortunately used
by people who dislike Donald Trump in this government to
push fake and false narratives, she should be ashamed of herself,
and that's not what reporting is.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
How did Trump's theme respond.

Speaker 7 (12:56):
There's a reason the President calls out fake news for
what it is. These pilots, these refuelers, these fighters, these
air defenders. The skill and the courage it took to
go into enemy territory flying thirty six hours on behalf
of the American people in the world to take out
a nuclear program is beyond what anyone in this audience
can fathom.

Speaker 5 (13:17):
And then the instinct, the instinct of CNN, the instinct
of the New York Times, is to try to find
a way to spin it for their own political reasons,
to try to.

Speaker 8 (13:28):
Hurt President Trump or our country. They don't care what
the troops think, they don't care what the world thinks.
They want to spin it to try to make him
look bad based on a leak. Of course, we've all
seen plenty of leakers, and what a leakers do?

Speaker 2 (13:40):
They have agendas and what do they do?

Speaker 8 (13:42):
Do they share the whole information or just the part
that they want to introduce.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
How did Trump's theme respond?

Speaker 1 (13:50):
Do you have certainty that all the highly enricheranium was
inside the four Dome mountain or some of it, because
there were satellite photos that showed more than a dozen
trucks there two days in advance. Are you certain none
of that highly enriched uranium was moved?

Speaker 7 (14:06):
Of course, we're watching every single aspect, But Jennifer, you've
been about the worst, the.

Speaker 8 (14:11):
One who misrepresents the most intentionally.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
We didn't get whining about hypocrisy, we didn't get complaints
about bias. We got direct in your face, you by name,
you your network. You're an evil liar. How effective was it?

(14:36):
This was CNN today.

Speaker 9 (14:37):
Despite the emotional speech and outrage from the Defense secretary,
what he said about the DIA assessment is what CNN
reported for on his issue that he took about it
being preliminary, about it being low confidence, CNN reported on
all of on all of this, I was looking back

(14:58):
just to make sure that we had it all throughout
the throughout the reporting process.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
Playing defense lying through their teeth again because they are
on the defensive, no longer on offense. Playing defense got
called out for dirty lies, called out for being liars,
called out for being evil. And now instead of being
the aggressors, while the GOP's you're bias, you're liberal that hypocritical.

(15:25):
Instead of the GOP being on the run while the
savages in the communist media chased them down like wild animals,
now the media is on the defense.

Speaker 10 (15:36):
There's so much more reporting to do on this topic.
This is a very complex matter, even though Trump tried
to make it sound simple on Saturday Night. It's really
important to note what CNN did not report. CNN did
not report that this mission was a failure.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Far from it.

Speaker 10 (15:51):
It may it turned out to be a tremendous success.
We just don't know all the facts yet, and neither
does the US government.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
On the defense. There is a lesson here for you
and me. This is not about this one story, like
I said, which we're all gonna forget about by tomorrow.
It's not about this one bombing, this one controversy, this
one press conference. It's really not about CNN or Politico
or the New York Times or any of these people.

(16:19):
This is about you in me being shown how to
deal with communists. And you cannot treat them with kid gloves.
You can't baby them, you can't try to morally challenge
them because they don't share your morality at all. They

(16:40):
are out to get you they are out to destroy
the things you love the most. They will lie, they
will manipulate, They will do everything in their power to
put you on the wrong foot, to put you on
the defensive, to put you on the run so they
can then chase you down and savage you forever. But

(17:02):
just like almost all evil things, all bullies, all evil people,
they shrivel up like a California raisin the second you
dig in and say, no, dirt ball, let's fight. That
is how you deal with communists. I'll finish up my
talk on this. Hang on, dude, it is the Jesse

(17:23):
Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful Thursday, reminding you that
tomorrow is an ask doctor Jesse Friday. All three hours
belong to you. Ask me anything. Does it even have
to be political? Whatever you email in to Jesse at
Jesse kellyshow dot com. The questions are already coming in
hot and heavy, and in fact, I'm gonna get to

(17:45):
some emails that just to clear out some room, if
you will, before tomorrow. I'm gonna get to that in
a few I just want to play you. I just
want to do this chronologically one more time to kind
of sum up my point here when Donald Trump got
a political win. Remember that's what this was about. For
the American communists. They were looking at Donald Trump dropping

(18:07):
bombs on Iran. They looked at the poll numbers, saw
the public liked it. They saw a political win for
Donald Trump. Because they're communist revolutionaries, they tried the best
they could to pour cold water all over that win.
That's why the initial report, and I'm going to let
it play, was this.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
So this is an early assessment from the Defense Intelligence Agency,
which is the Pentagon's intelligence arm And we do want
to emphasize that the intelligence, of course, is ongoing, The
collection is ongoing, and the assessments as a result of
that intelligence could change. But as of right now, the
DIA has produced this intelligence assessment that we are told
was based on the battle damage assessment that US Central

(18:48):
Command has done following those massive up bombings and strikes
that the US carried out inside Iran last weekend. And
what we are told is that based on the assessments
of the damn edge that these bombs implemented on these
nuclear sites, that as of right now, it does not
appear that they ended or obliterated arounds nuclear program. Instead,

(19:10):
they only set it back by months, according to people
who were briefed on the assessment.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
So why was their initial report that and then after
a couple of days they even got a New York
Times article backing them up a couple of days later.
They're scrambling doing.

Speaker 9 (19:29):
This despite the emotional speech and outrage from the Defense secretary.
What he said about the DIA assessment is what CNN
reported on his issue that he took, about it being preliminary,
about it being low confidence, CNN reported on all of
on all of this, I was looking back just to

(19:50):
make sure that we had it all throughout the throughout
the reporting process, CNN had reported that it is preliminary
and of course can be updated, including these two parts.
It is still early, we reported in our initial report
for the US to have a comprehensive picture of the
impact of the strikes. None of the sources described how
the DA assessment compares the.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
Views of.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
What would put the media on the defense. Wasn't being nice,
wasn't pointing out hypocrisy. It was being a jersey.

Speaker 4 (20:22):
The fake news like CNN in particular, they're trying to
you know, they're trying to say, well, I agree that
it was destroyed, but maybe not that destroyed. You know
what they're doing. They're really hurting great pilots that put
their lives in the line. CNN is scum, and so
is MSDNC. They're all and frankly, the networks aren't much
better the CNN because I watch it, I have no choice.

(20:44):
I gotta watch that garbage. It's all garbage, it's all
fake news. But I think CNN is a gutless group
of people, and the people that run it nobody.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
What's the lesson in this for you, for me, for
all of us. I'll tell you what. I actually have
to go to a neighborhood gathering tonight. I'm not going
to call it a party because there's a purpose to it,
but it's a neighborhood gathering tonight. And there aren't many
in my neighborhood, but there are some communists. They're all

(21:19):
over social media. Donald Trump's hitler. Boh, that's the ones
who will walk into the neighborhood gathering tonight and everybody
will start rolling their eyes and do the whole brother
thing underneath their breath, and they'll come storming up to
a whole group of people who weren't even talking about that,

(21:40):
and they'll start screaming about who knows what whatever the
latest talking points are they're fed on CNN, MSNBC. The
liberal aunt Peggy in your life will do this too.
Maybe they did it to you today at work, Maybe
they'll do it this weekend at a party, at a
sports game, at whatever. This will happen in your life.

(22:01):
Don't roll your eyes and walk away. Don't sit there
and be silent and then complain about it later after
you're gone with your spouse, and you don't have to scream,
and actually you don't have to name call, you don't
have to go quite as far as Trump does. But
correct them firmly, immediately, correct the lies firmly and immediately,

(22:24):
and don't back off. Don't worry when they start getting
loud about I figures you'd like a Nazi, because they
will do that. They'll raise the volume of their voice
to get everybody looking in an effort to make you uncomfortable.
They don't care about that they're too high on antidepressants.
They're trying to make you uncomfortable, trying to shout you down,

(22:44):
trying these things. And you know why they do that,
You know why that's a tried and true tactic for them,
because it's worked on the right forever. They know you
want to be nice, They know you just want the
party to go well. They know you want to be polite,
and so they'll try to make you uncomfortable. Don't worry
about the people. Look at they look bad, You don't
look bad. Don't raise your voice. You don't have to

(23:04):
call names, but don't let them off the hook either.
Be firm, call it out. Watch that communist shrivel up
and drift away. We have for far too long allowed
these people to use our niceness. What your niceness, I'm not,

(23:25):
but to use our niceness against us, our desire to
live in peace, our desire to be seen as nice. Well,
I don't want to be mean no more. If you
try to deal with them in that way, you will fail.
Think about it like a like a rabbit dog. Think
about it like a rabbit dog who keeps coming into

(23:48):
your yard, attacking your dog. They're eating your chickens if
you have them, maybe trying to bite your kids, trying
to bite you. A rabid dog out of control, What
are you gonna do? What's an effective way to stop it?
Going inside and lock the doors. Just go inside and hide.
Let the dog run rough shot over your yard, over

(24:08):
your dog, over your chickens. No, if you really want
to stop that rabid dog, you're gonna have to find
an effective way, an aggressive way of dealing with it.
You have to meet that aggression with your own aggression.
You can sit inside and whine about the hypocrisy of it,
or you can go outside in a forceful manner and

(24:30):
deal with it. Deal with communists, don't let them get
away with it. I actually have a little bit more
on that in the moment, but I want to do
some emails first. Hey, Jesse, can you please explain how
a whistleblower or leaker works? If they come forward with information,
how do we really know it's true? For that matter,
since the press doesn't have to tell who the source is,
how do we know they even got information? Couldn't the

(24:52):
fake news people just make up the narrative they want
and say it was a leaker. Okay, so we're dealing
with different things here, so let me break down separate
ways whistle blower. A whistle blower has rules, has a
process they have to follow. You can't just let's say
you work at the Pentagon, and you want to trash

(25:14):
Trump and make Trump look bad. There's a lot of
those people still at the Pentagon. And you want to
go to CNN, you want to go to anywhere and
leak classified information, Well you're not allowed to do that
unless you follow a very specific process that will make
you a whistle blower, and that if you follow the process,

(25:36):
if you follow the rules, I'll put it to you
that way. There are rules. I'm not going to break
it down. It's too nerdy that there are rules. And
if you follow the rules, you have to do a
B and C. If you follow the rules, then you get,
or you're supposed to get. You're supposed to get whistle
blower protections. Hey, this guy came forward with damaging information.
He did a B and C. Therefore he has whistle

(26:00):
lower protections. And those whistleblower protections are supposed to I
keep stressing that because I think about the FBI whistleblowers.
But those whistleblower protections are supposed to protect good people
from nasty retaliation when they come forward with damaging information
against a powerful entity. To be a quote whistleblower, you

(26:24):
don't just get to assign that label to yourself. You
have to do certain things to achieve that. Now you're
asking more about the leaker here and how all this works.
We'll talk about that in just a moment. It is
The Jesse Kelly Show. Reminding you if you miss any
part of the show, you can download the whole thing
on iHeart, Spotify iTunes. If you are a detail nerd,

(26:48):
a numbers nerd, you'd like breakdowns of demographics of the
country and how they vote and which which direction they're going.
I have a treat for you. Halfway through next hour.
Ryan Gurdusky is going to join us. If you listen
a lot, you know Ryan. Ryan is one of these

(27:08):
detail in There are guys and Pew research that they did.
They do the research. They come out with this huge
research paper. I think it's every four years, maybe every
two years, describing demographics in the country and how they
voted and men, women and oh John Black. But I've
had that all the more details than you can imagine.

(27:28):
Ryan loves this crap. I would never read it. It
was way too long and complicated, but Ryan broke it
all down. If you want to know demographically how the
country voted in twenty twenty four in different ways, a
different demographics. I will tell you this, there are going
to be things that Ryan tells you that are going
to surprise you. They surprised me, and I'm difficult to surprise.

(27:53):
Things might be looking up for us. You're gonna want
to hear this about halfway through next hour. Okay's back
to the email. The lady was asking whistleblowers versus leakers
versus so I already talked about whistleblowers and how they
have protections leakers. This is how it works in Washington, DC.
And let's talk specifically about people who leak to the CNN,

(28:16):
to CNN or New York Times or something like that.
Have you seen have you heard? You probably have if
you listen to the show. The searches for leakers like
they're already searching for the guy who leaked this story.
But this is not the first time it has happened.
They have looked for and found leakers in the Pentagon,
in various places. Why is the Trump administration doing that?

(28:40):
Because here is how it works. We have a government,
as you already know, that is filled with communists. It's
not that it used to be. It is north of
ninety percent of federal employees vote Democrat more than ninety percent.
You may think, well, we're in charge of everything. We
have the House and the Senate, and we have the presidency.

(29:03):
They'll put it this way. Republicans are the cherry on
top of the cupcake that has a lot of icing.
All the icing is Democrat. All the cake of the
cupcake is a Democrat. The cherry may be Republican, but
the vast quantity of the cupcake is Democrat. That's what

(29:26):
we have right now. It'll take years and years and
years to fix this problem. But we have a government
full of communists. And as you know, as we've discussed
many times before, no matter what his role is, no
matter the importance of his role, no matter what uniform
he puts on, the communist is a communist first. Whatever
else he does is secondary. He believes whatever he does

(29:49):
is simply a tool to be used for the revolution.
That's how over ninety percent of our federal employees view themselves.
And what happens is the media. As you know, the media,
they're a bunch of dirty c I mean it's as well.
They get sources, and the sources are sometimes dishonest themselves.

(30:09):
So let's make it about the Pentagon. Source, probably some captain,
maybe even a colonel, possibly even a general who hates
Donald Trump, thinks Donald Trump's evil with just a communist
wearing a uniform. He knows somebody at CNN, and in
an effort to make Donald Trump look bad, he will

(30:30):
get with a reporter at CNN who' views things the
exact same way he does. So they go out for
drinks at some place in the Washington, DC area, a
couple of beers, and tells her, Hey, you know, rumor
has it I saw a report today that said those
nuclear facilities weren't actually destroyed. You didn't hear it for me,

(30:51):
but I saw a report today. Now that's not a whistleblower,
that's a leaker, and that's that's probably illegal depending on
the story. Now, that definitely would be illegal because that's
classified information. That's illegal. The media, you know, they're all
in this together. The source wants to hurt Donald Trump.

(31:13):
The media wants to hurt Donald Trump. They then can
grab that information and they can accurately and honestly say
when they go on television. Sources inside the Pentagon have
told me they're not lying when they say that. Now
What they don't explain to you is that source inside
of the Pentagon is a Trump hating animal, and that

(31:35):
source inside of the Pentagon illegally leaked you information, and
that source inside of the Pentagon is doing everything in
his or her power to hurt Donald Trump. Every day.
They don't inform you of any of that stuff. They
don't inform you that the source only gave you partial information. No,
the media wants to be able to honestly run to

(31:56):
the TV camera, run to the podcast microphone, and say,
sources inside the FBI have told me Donald Trump murders puppies.
They're not lying. That's what makes it so insidious. They
found a source who would tell them that, who would
confirm the report they already wanted to run with. It
was already ready to be printed inside the New York Times.

(32:16):
All you needed to bring it to print was to
tell your editor, Hey, don't worry, mister editor, I've got
a source inside of the FBI, and he confirmed that
Donald Trump murders puppies. From there, remember, the system works together.
The media works with Democrats. They worked with Hollywood, they
worked with the FBI. They all work together. From there,

(32:37):
they universally with one voice will elevate something that is
an outright lie, and they'll all repeat the outright lie.
And there's two things that used to happen. What used
to happen was, as we already explained, the GOP would
shrivel up in that moment moment, call it biased and
just kind of allow them to run away with the narrative.
And something else that used to happen was the Normi American,

(33:01):
not you. You always knew these people were liars. But the
Norman American would heep, well, I mean, I know CNN's biased,
but the New York Times is saying it too, and
I saw this guy say it too, and Politico said
it too. Normi American will see the same story repeated
by three four different entities and naturally just assume it's

(33:23):
human nature. Well, if everyone's saying the same thing, even
if they're biased, at least it has to be partially true.
That's how it used to be. Now a GOP doesn't
take it anymore. Now they call evil liars evil liars,
and that is getting more and more widespread on the right.

(33:44):
And as that is getting more and more widespread on
the right, Normy American is hearing it, he's reading it
on social media. Donald Trump is tweeting about it. And
now when CNN says something, Norman American says, AH, probably lying.
I want to I want to actually point this out.

(34:04):
There's a couple of specific examples courtesy of Jake Tamper.
We'll play those for you next
