Hour 1: Plans For A New Golden Dome

Plans For A New Golden Dome.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
And good morning to you, and welcome to this rainy Wednesday.
Thanks so much for being here today, staying inside, staying
dry in the Big Three. Well well, well, well, well,
the mayor's race in New York just got a whole
lot more interesting. The Justice Department has opened an investigation

(00:21):
into allegations that Andrew Cuomo lied at a congressional hearing
over his actions that led to the death of fifteen thousand,
fifteen thousand COVID deaths in New York nursing homes. New
York congress Woman and expected good editorial candidate, at least
aphonic you'll remember, was on that committee. You can't make

(00:44):
up facts, Congresswoman.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
You're the one making a fact. You're the one who
under counted nursing home deaths. You're the one who I
want to ask right now, so you apologize today. But
there are families sitting here. I want you to turn around,
look them in the eye and apologize, which you have
failed to do.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Those families have been looking for justice for years now,
and if you notice, they always show up outside of
his campaign events and former Governor Cuomo just ignores them.
He may not be able to ignore them any longer.
A spokesperson by the way, for Andrew Cuomo claims, say

(01:21):
it with me. This is all political Democrats are supporting
the actions. Boy, they pick every bad issue. They are
so lost, But they're supporting the actions of Jersey lawmakers
at the ICE facility leading to Congresswoman La Monica mcguy
for facing federal charges.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
We just walked over here from our Progressive Caucus meeting
where we recognize that Donald Trump doesn't want us conducting
oversight at ICE facilities like these brave members of Congress
we're doing. He wants to intimidate us out of doing that.
And in our meeting we decided we're just about to
go and do a lot more oversight visits at ICE facilities.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
So all they're thinking is, wow, she got a lot
of TV time. We're gonna do the same thing at
ICE facilities around the country, just like the senator that
went down to El Salvador and then everybody else followed him.
Do they understand how bad they look? Do they understand
that this is why they lost the election? Oh? Man?

(02:25):
They are fun to watch, but at the same time
they're frightening. Star Wars is back. The idea of the
strategic defense system first imagined by Ronald Reagan and his
famous Star Wars speech forty years ago, may be finally
accomplished by Donald Trump. He calls it the Golden Dome.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
This is very.

Speaker 5 (02:47):
Important for the success and even survival of our country,
and said, believal world out there.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
And George Went, who played Norm on Cheers, has passed away.

Speaker 6 (03:02):
Hey, what's happened to Norman?

Speaker 7 (03:04):
Was a doggy dog Worlds Emmy and I'm more in
milk phone underwear.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
George Went with seventy six years old. You'll remember his
entrance was always a highlight of the show. He would
walk in, he'd say good morning or good afternoon everybody,
and then everybody would say Norm together, and then he
had some one liner and everybody looked forward to that.
Everybody looked forward to him walking in to the bar

(03:30):
in Cheers. George Went again dead at seventy six. We'll
remember him coming up. But let's talk about what was
the breaking news last night and all the news channels,
and that is the fact that the Justice Department has
opened an investigation after being referred by the Washington District
for three counts of lying to Congress. And you'll remember,

(03:54):
I believe you'll remember this hearing when it was so
obvious that he was lying. They had him dead to rights.
And let's walk through what happened again. He signed an
executive order. Andrew Cuomo signed an executive order forcing seniors
with COVID back. They wanted to take him to the hospital.

(04:15):
He wanted them back in the nursing homes, and COVID
spread through those nursing homes like wildfire, causing fifteen thousand deaths.
Now he's changed his mind. He took it back. But
then he then came the cover up. And this is
where politicians always get in trouble with the cover up. First,

(04:35):
he undercounted the deaths and he got caught doing that,
and then he encouraged the health commissioner at the time
to write a report on it where he was cleared.
He was completely cleared of any wrongdoing. And so the
question became over and over and over again, did you

(04:57):
have anything to do with that report? And this is
where he lies. Over and over again. He claimed he
had nothing to do with the report. And then a
draft of the report surfaced and you saw his handwriting
throughout the report. He basically wrote the report clearing him

(05:18):
of any wrongdoing. That was the cover up. And what
he got in trouble for, and what he's going to
get in trouble for and what he's probably gonna get
charged with is lying. I mean, he clearly lied over
and over again.

Speaker 8 (05:35):
Oh we know is Governor Cuomo ordered contagious patients into
nursing homes. He lied about it, then he covered it up,
and now he's threatening anyone who tries to cross him
to get accountability.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Right, And that was the next step. That's the part
I met I left out. He was going after any
Democratic politician or Republican politician in the state of New
York that challenged him on this. He wanted to quell it.
He was the strong arm that you always heard. He
was the strong man. He was going and he was

(06:09):
going hard at every politician in the state to hide this.
But as Nicole Maliataka says, and that was James Comber
that was talking a second ago. As Nicole Maliataka says,
he clearly lied. There's no question he lied. He definitely
lied about editing the report, right.

Speaker 8 (06:25):
He said that he did not edit the report.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
He did edit the report, and he's caught red handed. Now,
this is pretty serious. I mean, these charges are serious.
But it is going to change We'll see, we'll see
how it's going to change the mayoral race. It's definitely
going to change it. We'll see how it changes it
for the better. Because in this weird political world, he
is already with a statement. He'll talk later today, I'm sure,

(06:50):
but he has already released a statement or a spokesperson
has saying this is purely political. This is law fair,
which is what everybody claims nowadays. And he said, I
thought the Trump administration was against law fair. So and
the Trump administration really had nothing to do with this.
This was Congress and they were outraged that he was
lying to their face. So a lot's gonna happen today.

(07:13):
We'll talk more about this tomorrow, as Andrew Cuomo's probably
going to be out and every one of the other
candidates and people in Washington are going to be out
talking about this. So this broke last night, and man, man,
is this a bombshell. By the way that hearing, you
might think to yourself, Oh, why are they going after COVID?

(07:34):
That was so long ago. The hearing was in twenty
twenty four. Here, the hearing was just last year. So
we'll see, we'll see what's going to happen. But this
definitely changed the landscape of the mayoral race. Now we
can talk about other Democrats doing badly. Lamonica mcgiver is

(07:56):
his front and center in the news because she is
being charged with three felony counts of attacking federal officers.
And there's no question that she was rough. You can't
lay your hand on a federal officer if they're trying
to arrest someone, you can't touch them. But she gave

(08:16):
them a forearm slam. She was grabbing at them, she
was impeding them making arrest. There's no question she did
what she's being accused of doing. But of course she's
out there saying, oh, this whole thing is political.

Speaker 9 (08:29):
It's political intimidation, and I will not be intimidated. I
expect to continue to do my job. Once again, very
unfortunate situation. I did not think when I came to
Congress in September that I would be, you know, dealing
with something like this, you know, or dealing with being
charged with anything.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Well, then don't hit a federal officer, don't try to trespass.
You could have called ahead, They told you that you
could have called ahead and you could have seen the
facility for yourself. What gets me the most is the
Democrats rallying around her and they're gonna do the same thing.

Speaker 10 (09:02):
My congress Congressional colleagues from New Jersey did their job.
They actually are obeying the constitution. They are standing up
to give checks and balances to this administration at a
time that the Republicans in control of the House and
the Senate are laying down.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
That's the other thing they're saying, by the way, is
that they're just doing their checks and balances. They're just
doing oversight. They don't have they have no idea. They
have no idea why the federal officers went after her,
or why Alena Habba, the US attorney in New Jersey,
went after her. How about the fact that she hit
an ice officer. Any other human being that hit an

(09:43):
ice officer would go to jail. She is not above
the law. But in this weird world again, she is
thriving with the publicity, and all these other Democrats are like,
Oh my god, me too. I'm gonna go to a
nice facility. I'm gonna hit a nice officer. Maybe they'll
put me on CNN It is a bizarre political world,

(10:07):
and it's about to get a lot more bizarre. By
the way, go to iHeartRadio app and leave us a talkback.
If you will, you could win a limited edition Menti
in the Morning t shirt. It'll be awarded each day
at the end of the show. Also sad news, George
Went who played Norm from Cheers, has died. We'll remember
him next plus tickets to see the Brotherhood of Rock

(10:30):
tour at a twenty five. Well, we lost a great one.
We lost a person that played one of the most
famous characters of all time on television in one of
the longest running sitcoms and one of the most popular sitcoms.
And Norm, you'll remember, was famous for his entrances into

(10:51):
the bar. Every show he made a big entrance where
he said hi. Everybody said Norman that he had a
one liner.

Speaker 11 (11:01):
I was your um.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
He caught me in bed with his wife.

Speaker 7 (11:06):
Why not my nipples?

Speaker 10 (11:08):
It's freezing out there.

Speaker 6 (11:11):
What do you know?

Speaker 5 (11:12):
Not enough?

Speaker 1 (11:13):
No are you doing?

Speaker 11 (11:16):
Cut the small talk and give me a beer.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Hey, no, no life treating your arm.

Speaker 7 (11:21):
I just ran over its dog.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Oh that goes on and on and on and on.
You can go to YouTube. By the way, they will
give you every single one of those entrances.

Speaker 12 (11:32):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
And he died in Studio City, UH a couple of
days ago. He was seventy six years old. His manager,
Jeff Chetty, did not specify a cause, but there is
an outpouring of love for him right now. He grew
up on the well, just like the song says, on
the South Side of Chicago. He was a Bears fan,

(11:54):
which leads to one of SNL's most famous skits, the bearswsky.

Speaker 7 (12:00):
And I want to thank everyone for sending those cards
to my brother Bill, who recently had another heart attack.
We are coming to you live from Dicka's here on
Thanksgiving Day, a day for giving, thanks for or taking
punishment from a team that is known as Stop Bears.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
Stars du Bears became classic.

Speaker 10 (12:22):
Do you know? You know?

Speaker 1 (12:23):
He started his career at Second City, but not as
one of the people that was on the stage. He
was sweeping up the floor. He took a job as
a janitor at Second City, and so he got to
watch the greats. He got to watch Dan Aykroyd and
John Belushi, Mike Myers, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler all perform

(12:44):
while he was cleaning up the floors, and so he
started taking some of the workshops. He started taking some
of the classes. Finally he was allowed in some of
the skits, and then the rest is history. He is
a He's definitely someone that's always going to be remembered.
It is funny. There was so many great characters and
so many great actors, but Norm really does stand out

(13:08):
everybody for some reason. Everybody, everybody can relate to Norm,
and everybody has a Norm in their life, which is
what makes it so so sad today.

Speaker 13 (13:18):
But the cast really is incredible.

Speaker 14 (13:22):
Actually, you had Ted Danson, h Ria Pearlman, she was
so funny, Shelley Shelley long.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Woody Harrelson. I was waiting for that one. He might
end up being a bigger Grammar, and he came, Yeah,
Kelsey Grath. By the way, we're talking to Kelsey Gramm.

Speaker 14 (13:38):
We're gonna actually think we're on Friday. Absolutely yes, new book,
Christy Ally. I mean it's absolutely insane that cast. And
I think the show premiered in nineteen eighty two. I
mean we're going a long way way back. When you
go to Boston, people still stand in front of that
bar and take picture.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Oh I know, well, it was huge. It was number
one for the longest time, and they all got Emmy nominations.
He got six of them, so and it was Best
Comedy over and over again. But he's going to live
on in our memories. He's going to live on in YouTube.
I had fun yesterday just looking at old clips of
him on YouTube, and every single time I laughed. I

(14:14):
think everybody in the bar and everybody in America loved
when he walked in that door. George went dead at
the age of seventy six. Thanks so much for your talkbacks.
You go to the iHeartRadio app. You look for seven
to ten wor there's a microphone there under the talkback section.
You push it and you're on the air. And by
the way, while you're there, put seven ten woar on

(14:37):
your presets just to make it easier for you to
find us and leave us talkbacks in the future. Good morning, Larry,
it's Billy. Listen.

Speaker 5 (14:45):
I'm tired of listening to the Democrats.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
I mean, every time they get caught doing something.

Speaker 15 (14:52):
Either illegal or unethical, it's always it's political.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
That's why I'm getting caught because it's pullolitical.

Speaker 16 (15:00):
No, it's because you did something wrong, It doesn't matter
if it's political or not.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Well, my part of their excuse, their new excuse is
they were just conducting oversights. He's stepping on the constitution.
Donald Trump. You know, Donald Trump must have sent the
agents by himself, because they're blaming Donald Trump because they
get more attention and they get more love in the
Democratic Party if they blame Donald Trump. But Donald Trump
did this as if he picked up the phone. Donald

(15:28):
Trump is trying to break the constitution and ignore the
constitution to step on us and our oversight. You just
had to call ahead. You didn't have to trespass, and
you didn't have to hit federal officers. You always kind
of leave that stuff out. And they're gonna run on
this now and everybody knows the truth, so they're gonna

(15:49):
lose again. I feel so sad for them. They don't
have an issue. I do not feel sad for Jacqueline
Carl with the News at six point thirty. Jacqueline, I'm
so glad, good morning.

Speaker 17 (16:00):
President Trump wants a missile defense system that he calls
the Golden Dome up and running in three years. He
outlined his plans for the missile defense system and an
announcement from the Oval Office alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth,
and today is the deadline the Feds have set for
New York officials to stop the Manhattan congestion pricing tolling program.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
Governor Kathy Hokal has insisted numerous times over the last
month or so that the tolling program will continue. Has
despite the FEDS threatening to take away federal funding to
New York if the tolling cameras stay on past today's deadline.
The governor has no plans to stop the program, saying
it's the state's right on how it wants to manage traffic.
She insists the data shows congestion pricing is working. The FEDS,

(16:43):
under President Trump took back approval of congestion pricing and
that prompted a lawsuit by the MTA, and now a
battle is currently playing out in court. I'm scappringle WR news.

Speaker 13 (16:53):
So what do you guys know about octopuses?

Speaker 1 (16:57):
Do you like them?

Speaker 13 (16:58):
What are your feelings on them?

Speaker 1 (17:00):
They're good to eat.

Speaker 13 (17:01):
I love a grilled octopit it it's wonderful.

Speaker 18 (17:04):
Tom Oh, that's.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Kind of thinking.

Speaker 17 (17:09):
More like I have a friend who works with them
and knows what they're like. Oh no, so this story
to eat them? Okay, well, then you're not gonna like
this story as much as I thought. According to Yahoo,
and New York state senator has introduced a bill to
ban octopus farming before it starts in the state.

Speaker 13 (17:27):
They say octopuses are smart animals that can feel pain,
and farming them could hurt the environment by polluting the ocean.
If it passes, New York would join California and Washington
and banning this practice.

Speaker 17 (17:40):
So chow down, Well you can, because my little friends,
my little eight legged friends, are.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
Gonna be safe soon.

Speaker 19 (17:49):
You know.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Cows and chickens are gonna say, like, what about me?

Speaker 10 (17:52):
I know I have to say.

Speaker 17 (17:53):
When they said it, like when I was reading this,
that they can feel pain and they're smart, I'm like, well,
you know that you could say that about just about
any animal that we eat, right, But it could hurt
the environment by polluting the ocean.

Speaker 13 (18:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (18:07):
I just like them.

Speaker 13 (18:08):
I'm glad we're not going to be eating so many
of them.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
Now, You sure they're really good taste?

Speaker 17 (18:14):
I have tasted one. I have, but I don't remember.
It was so long ago, and I could totally live
with that. No, it said about admitting, and I was,
it's really a long time ago.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
Cowboy welcome back. You know the first president to take
a look at space and say that's where the next
war is going to be fought. That's going to be
so important for future wars. Was Dwight D. Eisenhower, long ago,
the hero of World War Two, president for two terms
under peace and prosperity. As he was leaving, he said,

(22:51):
we have to start militarizing space. And since then we
had Ronald Reagan, who gave his famous Star Wars speech.

Speaker 12 (23:00):
What if free people could live secure in the knowledge,
but their security did not rest upon the threat of
instant US retaliation to deter a Soviet attack, that we
could intercept and destroy strategic ballistic missiles before they reached
our own soil or that of our allies.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
So Ike and Ronald Reagan, they both had the forethought,
they both had the dream. They both could see into
the future. What they didn't have was the technology. But
we do now. And so Donald Trump has taken the
dream of Ike, of Eisenhower, and the dream of Ronald Reagan,

(23:40):
and he wants to make it a reality. Pete Hegseth
was one of the first to talk about it. He
was there with the President in the Oval Office. President
Reagan forty years ago cast the vision for it.

Speaker 6 (23:52):
The technology wasn't there Now it is, and you're following through.

Speaker 5 (23:55):
To say we will protect the homeland from cruise missiles,
ballistic missiles, hypers missiles, drones, whether they're conventional or nuclear.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
So the idea is to have weapons in space, in
satellites that can detect incoming weapons, incoming missiles, incoming drones
and take them out of the sky before they're a threat.
And so in theory it sounds wonderful. Donald Trump is
calling it the Golden Globe, but he also honored Ronald Reagan.

Speaker 5 (24:26):
Ronald Reagan wanted it many years ago, but they didn't
have the technology. But it's something we're going to have.
We're gonna have it at the highest level.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yeah, we have the technology now and so it's possible.
But it's not going to be called space wars anymore.
It's going to be called the Golden the Golden Dome.

Speaker 5 (24:43):
Forever, ending the missile threat to the American homeland. And
the success rate is very close to one hundred percent,
which is incredible.

Speaker 6 (24:50):
When you think of it.

Speaker 5 (24:51):
You're shooting bullets out of the air.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
Now, money for this in this new budget is already there,
not all of it. It's going to cost about one
hundred and seventy five billion dollar and I'm sure it's
going to cost more than that when it's all said
and done, and it's going to take a long time.
But other countries in our hemisphere are already interested in
helping and joining in on this.

Speaker 5 (25:11):
Canada has called us and they want to be a
part of it, so we'll be talking to them. They
want to have protection also.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
Now, as I said a moment ago, this has been
everybody's kicked around this idea for a long time, and
it was inevitable that this was going to happen, that
we were going to take war to space. Actually we
already do a little bit. I mean we use satellites
for positioning. Many times, our tanks can see the opposition

(25:39):
long before they can see us. They can see them
over the horizon and shoot at them because of satellite targeting.
Satellite targeting has been used well you remember seeing it
absolutely during the war with the Rock with all that
video after shock and off coming over and you could
see the satellite images of the building that were being

(26:00):
hit and targeted and they're marked for as a target
for the jet planes or the missiles. And so we've
had this technology for a long time, we just never
used it to fulfill the dream of Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan,
and yet we're talking about doing that now. And the

(26:21):
reason we have that technology now and the reason it's
a possibility is Elon Musk.

Speaker 6 (26:28):
Doing things in space. You know, take multiple trips to
space to figure things out. Now, what has changed since
the Reagan years is SpaceX. So whatever anybody might think
about Elon Musk, Elon Musk is responsible for the US's
ability to launch very cheaply satellites into what's called low
Earth orbit. If you're in low Earth orbit, you're much
closer to where the threats may be flying, and so

(26:50):
you're able to find them and track them in ways
that were never available, not even conceivable during the Reagan administration.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
That was the former colonel and State Department of official
Stephen Gannard, who also is a contributor to ABC News.
Think about Elon Musk for a second. Every advancement we
talk about these days leads back to Elon Musk and
how dare the Democratic Party looking for some weird issue,

(27:20):
any issue that would resonate with the American people. Vilified him,
vilified him for volunteering to do something that they've talked
about doing before, and nobody has done reduced the size
of government. He's gonna, as you know he has. He
has so much in the pipeline right now to help

(27:40):
the blind, sea, to help the paralyzed walk again, and
now to build a national defense. He is a modern
wonder that should be praised and only praised. But he
made the mistake of stepping into politics, and now he
has to be vilified. It's politics is just so ugly
these days. Donald Trump made this announcement while he was

(28:03):
at the Capitol. He was at the Capitol, actually he
made the announcement in the Oval office. He was at
the Capitol earlier to talk to Congress to try to
get his big, beautiful bill through because, as you know,
it has his entire agenda and he can only lose
three Republican votes. So one of the issues is especially

(28:25):
for blue states like New York, is the salt deduction.

Speaker 5 (28:29):
We want to benefit Republicans because they are the ones
that are going to make America great again. The Democrats
are destroying our country.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
So that was him saying he doesn't want to give
anything to the Democrats, but he's smart enough to know
that the only way to keep Congress is to keep
the Republican seats in New York. So word is all
the sources say. At this point, the salt cap is
going to be raised to forty thousand and so that

(28:58):
would make a lot of sense. There will be cuts
to medicaid.

Speaker 12 (29:01):
Waste, fraud and abuse.

Speaker 5 (29:03):
There is tremendous waste, fraud and abuse is incompetent things.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
Butuddy, you'll hear over the next few days, he's gonna
come out with this abuse. You have young people, very
able bodied, ready to work, not supporting anyone else but themselves,
not working and applying from medicaid. So one of the
cuts they keep talking about, the Democrats keep vilifying. One
of the cuts is just to require that if you're

(29:32):
on Medicaid and you're young, you have a year to
get a job. You have to get a job, you
have to contribute to the system. Does that seem unreasonable
to anybody? But you're not gonna hear that. You will
not hear that from the media, and you're not gonna
hear that from the Democrats because they believe cutting Medicaid
is the only thing. If you'll hear them, that's the
only thing they blast this bill about. He's gonna cut Medicaid. Oh,

(29:54):
it's gonna be horrible. That's the cuts to medicaid and
fraud the poor Democrats. They just don't have an issue
and they grab onto everything and they seem to be
always wrong. It blows up in their faces. Speaking of
people that support the Democrats. CNN's Jake Tapper is out
promoting his book and he's getting hammered by taking part

(30:15):
in a conspiracy that he helped to make, that he
helped to conspire with. We'll give you an example next well.
Jake Tapper's book is out right now, Original Sin President
Biden's decline, its cover up, and his disastrous choice to
run again, and he's getting blasted in just about every

(30:38):
media appearance, even where he thought it would be safe
to go, for being part of the cover up. He
claims he's now uncovering, and it's absolutely true. He can't
deny that there's too much tape, and yet he keeps
trying to deny it and said, well, no, I did it.
Every once in a while, find it. We can't find

(31:00):
the tape. We can't find the tape of you saying
there was a cover up. It maybe existed near the
very end when everybody was aware of it.

Speaker 6 (31:11):
But not.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
When he was stuttering and stammering and walking aimlessly, when
we all knew what was going on. For some reason,
you wouldn't look at the truth. You wanted to cover
it up, the same thing you claim you're uncovering in
your book. Look at yourself, look at yourself in the mirror.

(31:34):
That's where your investigations should start. And when you have,
you know, John Stuart making fun of you. When you
have John Stuart making fun of a Democratic leaning media member,
you know you're in trouble.

Speaker 21 (31:51):
The News is selling you a book about news they
should have told you was news a year ago.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
Fall Free. It's just fun to watch them not only
continue to push the book in light of this difficult news,
but to actually frame this difficult news as perhaps even
more of a reason to buy this book. It's true,
It's absolutely true. He's trying to make money over a
cover up that he took part in and pretending he

(32:19):
didn't take part in it. Now he's smart. I'll give
Jake Tapper. I'll give him credit for a couple of things.
I guess he knows he has to get out there
and promote this book. It's probably part of his deal
with the publisher. So that's number one. But he's getting
out there and he's going into some lion dens too.
We'll talk about that in a second ago, in a
second from now. But he's smart in that he's at

(32:44):
least admitting he made some mistakes, not as big a
mistake as he did make, but that he made some.

Speaker 16 (32:52):
I look back at my coverage with humility, and I
wish I did cover the issues of age and acuity,
but I wish I had covered them much more.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
No, it wasn't that you didn't cover it. You took
part in it. You took part in the cover up,
and that was never more obvious than when you interviewed
Laura Trump.

Speaker 21 (33:17):
I think what we see on stage with Joe Biden
Jake is very clearly a cognitive decline, and that's what
I'm referring to. It makes me uncomfortable. Amazing, you're trying
to tell me that what I was suggesting.

Speaker 22 (33:32):
Was I think that you were mocking his stutter. Yeah,
I think you were mocking his stutter. And I think
you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline.

Speaker 21 (33:40):
And it's very concerning to a lot of people that
this could be the leader of the free world.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
Okay, that is all I'm saying.

Speaker 21 (33:46):
Genuinely sorry for Joe.

Speaker 22 (33:48):
I appreciate it. I'm sure it was from a place
of concern. We all we all believe that.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
How snarky was that at the end, I'm sure it
was from a place of concern. And now he's wrong.
Now he's obvious Lee wrong. And he says that after
he started doing research on this book. He apologized to
larr Trump.

Speaker 16 (34:08):
After we did the research for this book and I
realized how bad his acuity issues were. I like, I mean,
I called Laura Trump and I said, you were you
were right?

Speaker 1 (34:24):
Is he an idiot? We all knew. We all saw it.
We saw it with our own eyes. It couldn't be
denied after the debate. But he was constantly he was
never out there. He always needed notes, he needed a
teleprompter when most presidents don't need a teleprompter. He was
wandering aimlessly in fields. And he's saying he had to

(34:46):
do some research to find out what we all knew.
I hope this book does not sell. I hope there
is a backlash against Jake Tapper because what he's tr
trying to do now in undo what he did and
make himself like he wasn't a part of it. He

(35:09):
should not profit from that, and it's obvious, and I
feel bad for the guy from Axios. He's just sits
there during the interviews and doesn't speak, and nobody's talking
about him. Alex Thompson, I'm sure he did some fine work.
Sorry about that, Alex. How about this anti Semitism is
front and center now in the mayor's race. I'm certain
high powered defense attorney Jeffrey Lickman will have something to

(35:30):
say about that. He's next at seven o'clock.
