Hour 1: Jake Tapper's new book

Jake Tapper's new book.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, we're almost there, almost of the weekend. Happy Thursday
to you. Thanks for being here this morning. If you
are a commuter that takes Jersey Transit, I feel so
sorry for you. It doesn't look good right now. That's
what starts off the Big Three. At one minute after
midnight tonight, Jersey trendsit may be shutting down at least

(00:25):
their trains due to a strike by the engineers.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
I'm hoping and praying that they can find the common
ground that we need to find to avoid a strike.
We have to prepare for the worst, but we're hoping
for the best.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Oh, that's what you want from your governor, that's what
you want. You want hope in prayers. Like he has
nothing to do with this, Like he can't get involved.
Is he's out, he's gone. He's decided he's gonna try
to get his next job, because he we rarely see
him anymore. Governor Murphy is rarely I've seen, rarely heard from.

(01:01):
He's already moved on. He's decided he's not going to
run for president. He's not going to get a job
in Biden's second term, which he was hoping for. So
but it's nice to have hundreds of millions of dollars,
so I'm sure he'll be fine. He'll live in his
mansion in Germany. Meanwhile, talks do continue, but not with
Murphy Invov with the National Mediation Board in Washington, DC.

(01:26):
They will continue today, Day two of the p Diddy trial,
and ex girlfriend Cassie was back on the stand and
the jury got to see and hear emails and text
messages between Cassie and Diddy.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
There was a text message shared from twenty seventeen where
she said nothing good comes out of freak offs and
then she says, you treat me like your Ike Turner,
and that was a nod to the abuse that she
says she suffered.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Peter Harralambus was in the courtroom and will join us
today at eight thirty five. His reports are always great.
Zelenski will be in Turkey today to negotiate peace. But
it looks like President Putin is going to be a
no show.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
I actually said, why would he go if I'm not
going because I wasn't going to go. I wasn't planning
to I would go, but I wasn't planning to go,
And I said, I don't think he's going to go
if I don't go. And that's turned out to be right.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
So many things have been accomplished during this trip to
the Middle East. One point two trillion dollars coming into
the country. I mean, it has been so far and
it's only just begun, a spectaculary, spectacularly successful trip. But
at the same time, one of the things that is
kind of under the radar, Trump has been rallying support

(02:40):
from neighbors of Iran to apply pressure for that deal.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
It's very simple. It's not like I have to give
you thirty pages worth of details. There's only one sentence.
They can't have a nuclear weapon.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah, that's it, And then there are other pages. He's
not right about that. I mean, there's all these things.
We would then reckonognize Iran with lift sanctions on Iran.
So what he's trying to do is re establish the
Middle East. I mean with his deal with Syria. Now
he's reaching out to Iran, he's reaching out to all

(03:14):
the bad actors and saying, you know what, we can
make you prosperous. We can make your country part of
the national community. All you have to do is get
rid of your evil waves. I will tell you if
he pulls this off. And I'm sure you know, first

(03:34):
of all the media, all they're talking about still is
the plane. It is incredible, all this stuff that's being
done the moment after moment after moment on this trip,
and all the media wants to talk about is that
stupid plane that Cutter was giving to the US government
and that kind of stuff. It does happen all the time.
The problem is that it's Trump and everybody wants to

(03:57):
find something wrong, especially see an N in MSAC and
all the networks, so over and over and over again,
it's just going to be that plane, the plane, the plane.
But let's go back and talk about the Jersey Transit strike,
because that's looming, what is it? Less than eighteen hours

(04:18):
away now at one minute after midnight? And I feel
so bad. I mean, I know personally so many people
that depend on Jersey Transit to get to work and
really have no other way.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Huge, because all I see are the indicators that it's
going to happen.

Speaker 5 (04:39):
I don't see any indicators that there's any talking. Yeah,
you're very concerned about As I grew up in Jersey City,
I don't have a license or a car, so I
have to take the train. Without the train, I won't
be able to commute to work. I'm at the university,
so I have students that I have to meet.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
It is interesting how people when you talk to commuter,
they're taking sides on this, and I think both sides
are wrong and that's good because if they can get
over some of what how they've dug in, they can
come to an agreement. But a lot of people have
been blaming the engineers, saying they're asking for too much.

(05:17):
But you do have to understand they haven't had a
contract for six years, and Professor Bill Dwyer, who's a
labor professor at Rutgers University, says that's really unprecedented.

Speaker 6 (05:28):
The engineer has been working for some six years without
a contract, which is an eternity in the world of
labor relations.

Speaker 5 (05:36):
Yeah, that is.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
I mean usually a union won't go that long. They'll
just insist, insist over and over again on a contract.
But the labor they did make a huge mistake, and
I blame this on the leadership and Tom Hass. They
had an agreement. I don't know if you remember a
month ago, they had an agreement. They had a handshake agreement.

(05:57):
They came up with a figure, they came up with
all of the particulars they still had to write out.
The contract has went back to his union and they
overwhelmingly voted it down. And again, Professor Dwyer says, that
doesn't happen most times.

Speaker 6 (06:15):
Union leaders are very, very in tune with what their
membership is expecting. Usually there's a lot of discussion about
setting expectations long before negotiations even begin. I just think
it was a you know, a miscalculation. Yeah, pretty serious one, Yeah,
pretty serious one.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
The good thing is right now is that there are
still talks going on, and you know, Tom hass was
in town taking part in the protest outside the NJ
Transit headquarters. But he's going to go back to Washington,
and my feeling is that the talks in Washington will
probably last throughout the day and may even if they

(06:53):
don't have an agreement. If they're close to an agreement,
at least they can put off the strike. So, you know,
just pray and prayers. Like Phil Murphy, that's all we
can do, you know, as he sits on the sidelines
with the rest of us, just hope and pray that
they can come up with something and again. Professor Dwyer,
who's been studying labor relation for a long long time, says,

(07:17):
the National Mediation Board is really really good.

Speaker 6 (07:20):
The National Mediation Board does great work. I know they've
been involved in the past and it's not been successful,
but I think at this point, I think they're going
to be successful. At least I'm hopefully they will be.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Let's go back to Phil Murphy for a second, because
I get so upset over this. How does he stay
out of this completely? How is he not getting any
mud on him? This is happening in his state, Jersey Transity.
It's not like he has no connection to them. It's
not like he can't get involved. Trust me, if he

(07:54):
thought he had to run for something else, if he
thought he had a chance of being president, which he doesn't,
he's been rejected. If he thought he had a political
career to look forward to, he would be in these negotiations,
he would be spearheading everything, and instead he just has

(08:17):
stupid things like this.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
I'm hoping and praying that they can find the common
ground that we need to find to avoid a striker.
Hoping we have to prepare for the worst, but we're
hoping for the best.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Well, didn't think of that. In the meantime, I told
you Tom Has, the head of the engineer's union, was
at a protest last night.

Speaker 7 (08:36):
We've been in negotiations for five years. Over five years,
I mean some more time goes by, the more of
a challenge it is, as you know, obviously with inflation
and things like that.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
And Chris colorI from the very beginning has been saying
they keep moving the goal line. Every time we think
we have a deal, they want more money to the
point where we can't pay it. And he says, also
the union keeps saying, we'll look what they're making, Look
what Amtrak is making, Look what the Long Island Railroad

(09:08):
engineers are making. Look what people across the country are making.
And he said, really that is not of a concern
in New Jersey.

Speaker 8 (09:17):
Nobody cares for who where what somebody else makes. In
a different system, the writers pay a fair and the
businesses of New Jersey pay at ten. They want to
make sure that the that the compensation, if you will,
it is calibrated to what.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
Their expectations are.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, you know what the big deal is, the biggest
deal in this whole thing is that there's a Shakira
concert at Medlife Stadium tonight.

Speaker 5 (09:43):
So they tell me.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
So they tell me, Well, people are looking for Shakira
are going to have to find a different way to
get there because Jersey Transit trains will not be stopping
at Medlife Stadium tonight. But that's been for a few days,
so hopefully everybody has a way to get there and
have a great time. It's going to be a great concert.
And it was a great game a couple games ago.

(10:10):
Actually it was a great game until halftime when the
Knicks decided to take the second half off. Lavalicap plus
tickets to see the Beach Boys at a twenty five.
That's all next Welcome back. So you know, we have
this contest going on, and the competition for the contest,
Thank you so much, has been hot and heavy. We've
been getting more talkbacks than ever before. We used to
get a good number, but now everybody's calling in because

(10:34):
they want one of these limited edition very Valuable Mente
in the Morning t shirts and that we keep locked
away in a vault. And so what are you laughing at?

Speaker 5 (10:45):
Because I think it's smart to keep them in a
vault with the gold and the armed guards. I mean,
how else do we keep them safe?

Speaker 1 (10:53):
That's exactly right. Everybody's been asking for one. I can't
I have one. I can't even get one back.

Speaker 5 (10:57):
I don't even have one. I'm on the show.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
See that's that's how exclusively they are exactly exactly and so.
And the way you can win one, uh and again
the competition's hot and heavy for this. But the way
you can win one is to go to the iHeartRadio app.
Look for seven to ten wo R and then when
you're there, look for the talkback feature. There's a microphone

(11:22):
you can record, and Jacqueline, we have a we have
a talkback that we didn't get to yesterday, and it
has to do with the story you had yesterday about
the aura that Yeah, about the aura that what all pets,
pets and animals give off until they die.

Speaker 5 (11:40):
Yeah, animals and plants. And now they're thinking humans as well.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Sure. I think everybody has talked a long time about
the aura around humans. I mean there's all these psychics
that say I can see your aura and this what
this is what it means about you? That's what I'm saying. Yeah,
and now they've now they've been able to prove that.
And this was an interesting comment. And I want to believe.

Speaker 9 (12:04):
This calling in on that aura that you find on
animals and perhaps humans, I believe it's your soul.

Speaker 5 (12:14):
I thought it was something spiritual as well.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Yeah, I love that. I love that.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Well, and if you're religious, it's your soul that now
rises up and goes back to our Maker, goes to
see Heaven, goes goes to God and then they're always
You're always there.

Speaker 5 (12:31):
Your pets ones o. Yes, it comes off animals too.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yeah, you're right. Might be that you're right. If I'm
going to go with that theory, you're right. If if
they have proved it in pets and animals, you're You're
absolutely right.

Speaker 5 (12:45):
I'm going to go back and keep getting that. You're right,
You're rights and keep them.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
It's going to be like my ring tone now, you know,
because I never thought of animals having souls. But but
maybe I'm wrong. I mean, how do I know how
to do how to any of us know who has
a soul? The train engineers, This is a really interesting
question about the train engineers who were threatening to strike

(13:10):
tonight at twelve oh one Jersey Transit. It's making life
horrible for three hundred and fifty thousand commuters. But this
was a question about the term train engineers.

Speaker 10 (13:21):
And somebody explained to me why a train operator is
called an engineer. Do they have some kind of like
engineer degree from a college that they demand, you know,
one hundred and seventy thousand dollars salary. Can someone explain
that to me?

Speaker 4 (13:42):
Please?

Speaker 10 (13:42):
Thank you, have a good day.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, that's a really interesting question. I never even thought
of it before, and so of course I went to
AI and it says in many regions, particularly in North
America and New Zealand, apparently they're the only two places
in the world, North America and New Zealand where they
use the term engineers. They call them train drivers. Train

(14:05):
drivers are called engineers due to a historical connection to
a steam locomotive and the operation of the engine on
a locomotive. And it goes on to say, what this
gentleman just said, Well, the term engineer is in a
more general sense, referring to those with specialized knowledge and
skills in various fields. The term for train drivers has

(14:28):
been preserved just in legacy.

Speaker 5 (14:31):
I always said operators, did you, yeah, train operators.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
Well, they like to call themself engineers.

Speaker 5 (14:36):
Well, God bless at that time, I'm a news engineer.
I'm taking it.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
We're all engineers.

Speaker 5 (14:45):
No, I get. You really do have to have a
special degree to be some kind of an engineer.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
Let's talk about those Nicks from last night. Ugh, I
was it was such a great first half and it
was so exciting, and you're thinking to yourself, Oh my god,
they're gonna pull this off. There, they're gonna pull this off.
They're gonna they're gonna win. They're gonna beat Boston in
five games, and they're gonna beat them in Boston. And

(15:13):
then they just left their souls in the locker room.

Speaker 5 (15:17):
The lights went out on that.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Oh my god, that they look awful. And I'll tell
you what. And and kudos to the Boston Celtics. I mean,
they came out and they had a plan and they
executed and they seem to have a lot more heart
than the Knicks last night. And even Jalen Brunson said that,
Jalen Brunson said, they just seem to have more heart

(15:40):
than we did. And so I I just couldn't get
over it. And and I worry about this game six now.
Uh coming back to the garden because they now have
some momentum. They now know what to do. They now
have the Knicks numbers. So I am hoping and praying.
But man, and that was just awful. They blew them

(16:03):
out in the second half. And I just can't believe
the Nicks. Let that happen. Now, let's get the news
at six point thirty with Jacqueline Carl. Jacqueline, Good Morning.

Speaker 5 (16:12):
President Trump wants Cutter to help with Iranian diplomacy. While
attending a state dinner Wednesday, Trump said, quote, it's a
perilous situation and we want to do the right thing.
Earlier in the day, Trump said he wants to make
a deal to end Iran's nuclear program. New Jersey Transit
engineers strike is hours away and would bring trains to
a halt for hundreds of thousands of daily commuters. At midnight,

(16:36):
the head of the.

Speaker 9 (16:36):
Union representing engineers, Tom Has, says they are still trying
to get a deal that involves higher wages.

Speaker 7 (16:42):
We are committed to staying at the table. New Jersey
Transit seems committed to staying at the table.

Speaker 9 (16:46):
Should a strike happen. NJ Transit is providing extra buses
at a number of places, including Secaucus Junction and P
and C Bank Guards Center. Also, private bus companies would
help as well, but NJ Transit president Chris colorI is
warning customers that extra buses will only accommodate about twenty
percent of train riders.

Speaker 8 (17:04):
Work from home is still an option for many. Is
something that we hope that they take it to consideration.

Speaker 9 (17:09):
I'm scaffpringle wr News.

Speaker 5 (17:12):
So if you can believe this, the new Pope has
his own trading card now. According to the Gamer, a
new trading card of Pope Leo the fourteenth is breaking
collectibles records no less. Tops is normally famous for sports cards,
but they decide to put Oh, I can't say that
a special Pope Leo card ahead of his May eteenth

(17:34):
inauguration the capitalism. That is fine as what can I say?
The card is already out selling cards of Lionel MESSI
saye and tell me if I say any These guys
names a right Lebron James John Cena and has officially
become the best selling non sports card ever produced by TOPS.
So currently there are multiple listings on eBay, with byte
Now prices going up to fifty nine to ninety nine

(17:57):
plus shipping and handling, of course, So what do we
think are we getting one?

Speaker 1 (18:01):
What do they have on the back for his statistics
soul saved?

Speaker 5 (18:05):
I don't know right how many souls saved that would
be a good stat Do they give his history?

Speaker 1 (18:11):
I don't understand that what the card would be? Half
half the fun of having baseball cards, aside from flipping
him in the school yard, was looking at the back,
at the statistics of the players. That was half the fun.
What's what's going to be on the back of the
Poplio card?

Speaker 5 (18:27):
Tops did not get too back to me. But I
bet if you want an eBay it would show both sides.
I don't know, that's a good question. I didn't even
know they had stats on baseball cards, just pictures. I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
Yeah, A little right up, they have a little right up,
and then they have I believe me, I have baseball.

Speaker 5 (18:43):
I still have baseball number of soul saved. And that's
why the card's so amazing, because it keeps changing own,
it keeps going up.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Thanks a lot, Jacqueline carl Donald Trump has a busy
schedule in the United Arab Emirates, but he said, he
said he would leave and meet with Putin and Zelenski
in Turkey if it will save lives. Now it doesn't
look like that's going to happen because it doesn't look
like Putin's going to show up. But however, the rest

(19:12):
of the trip great. More on the stunningly successful Donald
Trump tour of the Arab World next, plus, I want
to hear what you have to say, leave us a talkback.
Go to seven ten woor on the iHeartRadio app and
click on the microphone and when you're there, put seven
ten woor on your presets. Plus have we mentioned this yet?
You could win a limited edition Minty in the Morning

(19:34):
t shirt which will be awarded each day to our
favorite talkback of the morning, could be you. You know,
now we know why this Trump this trip was so
important to Donald Trump. Now we see it playing out.
We see a grand vision that many of us didn't
see until he started over there. And it had to

(19:56):
do with business. Yeah, he admitted that from the very
beginning a lot had to do with business. And he
just got one point two trillion dollars total of investments
in America. I mean, he keeps saying he's going to
make America rich again, and it does seem like that's
gonna happen. The amount of money he's raised for this
country already has been outstanding. And by the way, that

(20:21):
was on day one of the trip. He's still and
he's Cutter right now. And then he goes to the
United Arab Emirates, all very rich countries, all who are
very invested in the region. So think about that. If
you have a country that is extremely rich and extremely successful,

(20:42):
like Saudi Arabia or like Cutter, and then you have
neighbors like Syria and Lebanon and Iran that are hotbeds
of terrorism that don't have the economies that you do,
you gotta worry. You have to worry about are you next?

(21:03):
When are they going to get sick of that? When
are they going to rise up? And so there is
real concern in the Arab world about the division of
wealth from both sides. The poorer countries are upset with
the rich countries like Saudi Arabia, and the rich countries

(21:25):
like Saudi Arabia are worried about these poor countries that
are infested with terrorist groups, all supported by the way
by the mothership Iran. So look what Donald Trump's doing,
and who really knew that was going to happen like this.

(21:46):
He is going to each one of those countries, or
at least reaching out to each one of those countries,
starting with Syria, which was a major problem in the
area until it was taken over, until they got a
sign out. Now he met with the new president, which
was a huge step forward. He lifted sanctions, and now

(22:07):
he's talking about taking the next step with Syria.

Speaker 11 (22:10):
We are currently exploring normalizing relations with Syria's new government,
as you know, beginning with my meeting with President Ahmed
al Sharhah and Secretary of Rubia's meeting with the Syrian
foreign minister.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
If we normalize relations with Syria and we invest in
that country, we are making ourselves safer, We're making the
region safer. We are allies like Cutter and Saudi Arabia
and Israel will love that we did that, and no
one really thought about doing this before we ostracized all

(22:50):
of these countries like Lebanon.

Speaker 11 (22:53):
In Lebanon, there's a new chance for a future free
from the grip of Hesbela Terris. If they do, President
and Prime Minister can rebuild an effective Lebanese.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
State, even Gaza. He's been he's been reaching out to Hamas.
That's how we got Idan Fried. He's been talking to Hamas.
He's been he has been trying to normalize relations in
Gaza and rebuild Gaza. Now I know at first he
wanted to own Gaza. But you know, he always starts high.

(23:24):
If you haven't figured that out yet, he starts high
in every negotiation and then he ends up somewhere in
the middle. But even Gaza is part of this big plan.

Speaker 11 (23:35):
In Gaza, my administration shares the hope of so many
in this region for future of safety and dignity of
the Palestinian people. But that cannot happen as long as
Gaza's leaders take delight in raping, torturing and murdering innocent people.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Right, And he's made that very clear. Lebanon, we can
make a deal with Syria, we can make a deal
with Gaza. You have to clean up your act. You
clean up your act, and you can also have a
relationship with the United States and we can trade with
you and we can invest in you. But in the meantime,
you've got to clean up your act. And so I

(24:13):
do hope he's sending that same message to Israel because
right now they are close to famine Gaza, and I
don't think anybody wants that. There are some people that
are stuck there that had nothing to do with Hamas,
that are starving right now. But none of this is
going to happen. None of this can happen unless we

(24:34):
deal with the mothership Iran. Now, you know, Donald Trump
has said all along, look, nothing's going to happen. As
long as they have a nuclear weapons program, we can't
have anything. But he's reaching out to them all this time.
Under Biden and under Obama, we just gave them money

(24:57):
and hope that was going to work. That's it's the
democratic solution to everything. Oh, give them money, they'll be happy.
Just give them money, and they use the money to
start their nuclear program again, that's what they use the
money for, and to give the terrorist groups. It was
the dumbest idea in the world. It was the dumbest
idea in the last couple decades maybe ever, to empower Iran.

(25:24):
And so what Donald Trump's doing right now, he's not
given him money. He's saying, we can establish relations with you,
we can have trade with you, you can open yourself
up to the rest of the world. This is a
one time opportunity, but it starts with getting rid of
your nuclear program.

Speaker 4 (25:43):
It's very simple. It's not like I have to give
you thirty pages worth of details. There's only one sentence.
They can't have a nuclear weapon. And I think we're
getting close to maybe doing a deal without having to
do the two steps. Is a very very nice step.
And there's a violence one step, the violence like people
haven't seen before. And I don't I hope we're not

(26:06):
going to have to do this. I don't want to
do the second step.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Right, they already have plans in place to take out
the nuclear weapons program, so that's in the background. As
he reaches out a carrot, he's got the stick ready
to go. Also, by the way, Cutter is involved in this. Now.
Cutter is supporting the idea of us having a relationship
with Iran.

Speaker 4 (26:29):
He says, you can make it, Dear, you can make it.
He's really fighting, and I really mean this. I think
that Iran should say a big thank you to the
Emir because the Amir is fighting very much that we don't.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yeah, it's wonderful, it's unbelievable how we and by the
way we cut China and Russia out when we do this, Hey,
are you gonna rush you out and buy Jake Tapper's
new book on the cover up of Biden's mental decline,
you know, the one he took part in. We'll let
you hear the me a hypocrite in his own words next,

(27:03):
It is simply incredible. How do you live with yourself
if you know you were part of the cover up
of the mental decline of Joe Biden and then you
have the gall to write an investigative book into the

(27:23):
cover up of Joe Biden, as if you had nothing
to do with it. It is stunning to me that
Jake Tapper from CNN is trying to get away with this,
and Alex Thompson from Axios, who is one of the
worst in the cover up Axios, they now are claiming no, no, no, no,

(27:46):
we had nothing to do with that. It was those
bad Democrats. Well, they were hiding everything, as if there's
not tape, as if we can't prove that they were
absolutely part of the cover up because it wasn't going
to work unless the Democrats' minions in the media played
along with it, and Jake Tapper was way out in

(28:09):
front on that, shutting down anybody that was going to
talk about the mental decline in all of the signs
that we saw, the mistakes, the forgetting him having to
read from notes, walking in the back into a curtain,
you know, stopping and looking like he was mindless for

(28:30):
a second. We saw it all. And then of course
the piaste, the resistance. Then when everybody admitted it was
during the debate with Donald Trump when he froze up
and then made no sense, which he did several times
before that. It was just never on a national stage
like that. But for Jake Tapper now it is. I

(28:52):
just can't get over it. I don't know how you
look at yourself in the mirror. I don't know how
you live with yourself because it's such a blatant lie.
When Laura Trump one time went on the show and
had the audacity to talk about the stumbling and the
mental decline of President Biden, listen to what Jake Tapper did.

Speaker 12 (29:15):
What we see on stage with Joe Biden. Jake is
very clearly a cognitive decline. That's what I'm referring to.
It makes me uncomfortable, you are, I think it was
so amazing.

Speaker 5 (29:26):
It's so amazing to.

Speaker 12 (29:27):
Me that trying to figure out an answer cognitive decline,
trying to tell me that what I was suggesting was
I think that.

Speaker 5 (29:34):
You were mocking his stutter.

Speaker 13 (29:36):
I think you were mocking his stutter. And I think
you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
Right, that's what the in the beginning, remember all the mistakes. Oh,
he just was a stutterer as a kid, even though
for thirty years in the Senate he didn't stutter. But
all of a sudden, it's well, he's a stutterer. He's
always been a stutterer. No, he was a little kid
when he was a stutterer, and like many little kids,
he grew that. But Jake Tapper, oh no, no, no,

(30:04):
Now he's exposing I hope he exposes himself because when
the Wall Street Journal they broke the story, if you remember,
of all of the people that said, finally, look there's
something wrong with the president. We've been in the Oval
office and there's something wrong with him, Jake Tapper said, no,

(30:24):
that's a lie.

Speaker 13 (30:25):
False claims to the Wall Street Journal about President Biden's
mental fitness and acuity. He's eighty one and his memory.
You know, it doesn't seem great. It's not horrible, but
I don't understand the outage. Quote behind closed Doors, Biden
shows signs of slipping quotes. The Wall Street Journal is
owned by Newscore, which is run by the Murdocks. Beyond
the headline, there is some critical nuance here. The article

(30:48):
is mostly based on observations of Republicans.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
Yeah, they were false claims, So I guess your entire
book is full of false claims or now it's true.
I don't know how he threads that needle. I don't
know how he can come out with this book in
good conscience. It's obviously to make money. He's on a
book tour now, he's on TV everywhere, and you just

(31:14):
want to reach out and smack him and say to you,
you're not getting away with this. There does need to
be an investigation. We can never have this happen again
where we don't know who's running the country. But Jake
Tapper is a false prophet. Jake Tapper shouldn't be the
one out in front on this. It should be somebody
who all along, you know, like Laura Trump. It should

(31:37):
be somebody who all along was saying, hey, there's a
problem here. We all have to wake up to this.
I just he must know, right, he must know he's
a flaming hypocrite, and so don't. I think he's a
smart guy. So I don't know how he lives with himself. Well,

(32:00):
we've been talking this morning about Donald Trump's successful trip
to the Middle East. What did White House correspondent John
Decker think of it? We'll find out coming up after
the seven o'clock news through Carl Lagerfeld Paris with both
women's and men's collections,
