Speaker 1 (00:00):
President Trump floats a third term, Progressives try to take
down Tesla and a Democrat lets the mask slip, trolling
or out of touch. That's the question with this week's
did they really just say that moment? I'm Nancy shock.
Ben Parker is out. This is news bite.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
There's a whole story about running for a third term.
I don't know. I never looked into it. They do
say there's a way you can do it, but I
don't know about that, but I have not looked into it.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Isn't it shocking how much violence and hatred is coming
from the left, But burning Tesla's and shooting up dealerships
and calling for the death of the president and me like,
they're totally gone psycho.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
Your average middle American says, why are you wasting your
time worrying about Greenland?

Speaker 5 (00:57):
I can't even find it on a map.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
That was the Democratic senator from I think his name
is Chris Combes of Delaware, letting you know exactly what
he thinks of the average American too stupid to find
Greenland on a map, and they wonder why they lost
the election. Here's the whole cut.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
Look, your average Trump voter laughs at us and says
he's owning the Libs, and your average middle American says,
why are you wasting your time worrying about Greenland?

Speaker 5 (01:30):
I can't even find it on a map.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Wow, Democrats have gone insane. You know that's just you
just told most of America that you think they're too
stupid to find Greenland on a map. If they're not careful,
they're going to be responsible for their party going the
way of the Dodo Bird or maybe the Whigs. It's
so bad that even Mayor Eric Adams of New York says,

(01:57):
I don't want to be a Democrat anymore.

Speaker 6 (02:00):
Though I am still a Democrat, I am announcing that
I will forego the Democratic primary for mayor and appealed
directly to all New Yorkers as an independent candidate and
the general election.

Speaker 7 (02:15):
I firmly believe that this city is better served by
truly independent leadership, not leaders tooled at by the extremists
on the far left or the far right, but instead
those rooted in the common middle, the place where the
vast majority of New Yorkers are firmly planted.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
I don't blame him, do you. I mean, they learned
nothing from the election. Just keep repeating the same mistakes,
including calling for violence against opponents, which you can see
every day at a Tusla dealership, molotov cocktails, vandalism, ramming
people's cars, scratching them. Elon Musk actually calls them psycho.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Isn't it shocking how much violence and hatred is coming
from the left? I mean, isn't this supposed isn't it
supposed to be the party that they claim to be
the party of empathy? And yet they're burning they're burning
tesla's and shooting up dealerships and calling for the death
of the president. And me, I'm like, guys, you know,

(03:23):
is this is insane? Like they're totally gone psycho. I
mean it's really like, uh, I totally understand if somebody
doesn't want to buy a product, Yeah, it's up to you.
It's free country, you know, But you don't have to
burn it down, Okay, But much that's somebody else's car,
leave it alone.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
And why are they attacking him because he is unearthing corruption?
Would you believe that's why they're going after him? And
you've got members of law enforcement protecting the vandals. In
this particular case, this is a Minnesota police chief his
name is Booker Hodges. And you want on Twitter to

(04:01):
say that a Tesla vandal is a victim because mean
things were said about her online.

Speaker 8 (04:07):
Well, let me be clear. Here in Bloomington, you probably
have never heard me utter these words. The suspect in
this case may have been a victim, and I mean
victim in terms of the rhetoric that is being spewed
out here by some of those in leadership. We need
our leaders to start leading and stop feeding this rhetoric.

(04:33):
People should be able to drive whatever car they want
without fear of going into the store and someone scratching
their car or people yelling at them because of the
car that they start they choose to drive.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
No, he's okay at the end there, Yeah, I agree
with that you should be able to drive what car
you want. But in the beginning he's like no, no, no, no, no.
You know this, he's leaning on the side of the
vandals there. It's just bizarre. And you have more prominent
Democrats in this case. I want to play for you
a cut from Democratic Congressman Primila Jaypow on MSNBC saying

(05:11):
she's building a resistance lab. Its purpose is to train
Americans to take down a dictatorship.

Speaker 9 (05:18):
What we decided is that we really need to help
Americans understand what happens when democracies fall, when dictators take over.
We've been pretty complacent in America. We haven't had to
really deal with this in any real way, and now
I think people need to understand what are the lessons
from other countries. And working with experts who have studied

(05:39):
democratic backsliding in countries around the world and the resistance
movements that emerge to take on that democratic backsliding, We've
developed a curriculum where we help people understand how do
you go after the pillars of support, not necessarily the
person at the top, but the pillars of support that
allow that to continue to have power, And how do

(06:02):
you shift allies from being sort of passive opponents to
being active supporters of taking down a dictatorship.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Wow, the Democrats have put themselves into a position where
they're actually coming out against stopping corruption. I want you
to listen to New York State Senator Brad Roylman Siegel.
I think his name is Brad Roylman Siegel, and he's
speaking at a TESLA protest to take down Tesla Day
and he's calling for an investigation to ensure that Elon

(06:34):
Musk is under scrutiny the same scrutiny that he's applying
to the federal government is.

Speaker 10 (06:40):
Simply member and I are introducing legislation this week to
make sure that Elon Musk has the same scrutiny as
he says he's applying to the rest of the federal government.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Is he a nut? First of all, Elon Musk is
in the private sector. Our rules apply to him. Even
that being said, he's responsible to his stockholders and has
been so. He spends his own money on things like
you know, SpaceX and so forth. The same standards don't apply.
The federal government is spending our money. They're supposed to

(07:16):
be completely transparent, and they have discovered a bleep load
of corruption. Even in the Social Security administration. This is
Antonio Grassias, who's in charge of personnel, and he himself
looked into Uh. He's an engineer, he's a space he's
a rocket scientist in a brilliant mind, and he looked
into the issues at Social Security.

Speaker 11 (07:37):
Look, if I hadn't seen this myself, I'm not sure
to believe it. I went through it myself and mapped
it and he want us right. This is true that
it faults in the system, from Social Security to all
of the benefit programs have been set to max inclusion,
max pay for these people, and minimum collection. That's what's happening.
We found one point three million of them already on
Medicaid as an example. We've gone through on every benefit

(07:59):
program we went through, we found groups from this particular
group of people. This five point five million people in
those benefit programs.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
He's talking about illegal aliens there. Illegal aliens are sent
to maximum of benefits with zero with zero oversight basically,
and wow, American citizens aren't given that benefit of the doubt.
You know, it's amazing that the Democrats are getting and
publicly so getting so upset about rooting out corruption, Like

(08:31):
are they in favor of corruption? Because I can't believe
that they if they sat down and thought about it,
that they would say yes. But that's how they're coming across,
you know, and it's just it's bizarre. And it's not
the only thing that they're fighting the corruption. They don't
like deporting gang members. Who the hell comes out saying,
don't deport gang members if they're illegal aliens. This is

(08:55):
what I'll tell you who. Congressman Jamie Raskin at a
House hearing calling for the Trump Adminis to return deported
Venezuelan gang members back to the United States.

Speaker 5 (09:07):
I call on my colleagues right now to call off
the campaign to impeach federal judges for doing their jobs.
I call on them to demand that the Trump administration
comply with all judicial orders while appealing whichever ones they
want to appeal, and to demand the return of people
unlawfully taken to Ol Salvador on that so called plane

(09:30):
full of gang bangers.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Bring them back. We want him back on our streets.
It can't possibly be because they are raping, murdering, maiming,
and stealing from American citizens. No.

Speaker 12 (09:42):
No.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Senator Clara mccaskell says on MSNBC that the reason why
they're being deported is because, you know, President Trump doesn't
like their opinion.

Speaker 13 (09:52):
What Donald Trump is doing right now, he is deporting
people not to what they does, not because they're here illegally,
because he does like their opinion. Don't think about that.
We are taking graduate students and moving them out of
the country. They're here legally, they're studying, they have a

(10:12):
different opinion than Donald Trump, and Marco Rubio is being
his mini me and actually giving voice to this and
somehow you can get deported in America if you say
things we don't like. What happened to our freedom of speech?

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Honest to god? I mean, did they take a stupid pill?
Because that's what there are four gang members being here
and they are against rooting out corruption. And let's pile
another one on. So President Trump came out with tariffs
mostly to be used as a negotiating tool with various
countries who've been ripping us off for years. So we'll

(10:51):
lift the tariff if they negotiate better terms or they
do whatever. But oh no, no, the Democrats in the
Senate and the House and who are public want you
to believe that he is deliberately destroying the economy. This
is Senator Ed Markey on CNN, say the Trump tariffs,
which he's called liberation Day, Uh huh, it's obliteration day.

Speaker 4 (11:10):
Do you know what tariffs the President's going to announce tomorrow?
And do you think the president knows what new tariffs
he's going to announce tomorrow.

Speaker 12 (11:19):
I think the President is making it up as he's
going along. I don't think he knows, but when he
calls it liberation day, it could be obliteration day if
he doesn't act in a way that invokes the law
of unintended consequences. So just for New England, just for Massachusetts,
it would be a billion dollars in higher oil prices

(11:44):
for the state of Massachusetts. That's what our governor said yesterday.
So if he wants to tie it protecting the auto industry,
he should say that. But to have an all out
war with Canada, with every country in the world who
was a major trading part neure that could have catastrophic
economic consequences for our country.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
It has to be a mental illness that has taken
over leading Democrats for them to respond this way to
basic things. And again to this backdrop comes President Trump
with the beauty of something that I would categorize as
a truth or troll.

Speaker 12 (12:27):
There's this other story.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
I know, type of medical right now. But if you
were allowed, for some reason to run for a third term,
is there a thought that the Democrats could try to
run back Oabama against you.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
I'd love that term. I'd love that. That would be
a good one.

Speaker 9 (12:43):
I'd like that.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
And no people are asking me to run, and there's
a whole story about running for a third term. I
don't know. I never looked into it. And they do
say there's a way you can do it, but I
don't know about that. But I have not looked into it.
I want to do a fantastic job. We have four
years is just about almost close to four years. Its
time is flying, but it's still close to four years.

(13:05):
And we're getting a lot of credit for having done
a great job in the first almost one hundred days.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Truth or troll? You know, does Donald Trump really think
he can run for a third term or is he
just playing with the media. If you listen to the
liberal the liberals out there, they are convinced it's true.
And over an MSNBC they are agast at the idea
that Donald Trump would like a third term.

Speaker 13 (13:35):
Bick reaction guys to that Trump comment entertaining a third term.

Speaker 4 (13:39):
You first, David, I believe him.

Speaker 14 (13:41):
I think the biggest mistake of the last eight years
is we somehow fail to give credibility to Donald Trump's
whims and his impulses. But we know it's true. And
January sixth was a perfect example. If he says that
he's not ruling it out. He's not ruling it out,
and we consider we should consider it a constitutional threat.

Speaker 15 (13:56):
He's been pushing the envelope on testing the constitution, so
I expect that he'll continue to do that, maybe by
seeking out a third term, but more importantly short term.
We're not talking about Signal and that scandal if we
are talking about Trump's third term.

Speaker 10 (14:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (14:14):
I think both of them are exactly right. Steve Bannon
was on Joe Rogan's podcast the other day laying out
the very groundling seeds of how it's going to go down,
and he said, listen, we are working on They.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Seem a little upset, don't you think. Law professor Jonathan Turley,
who is on Fox, says, I don't think he's thinking
about a third term. I think he's playing games with
the press.

Speaker 17 (14:37):
You know, this is a president who loves to give
a snake in a can to media just to watch
them open it, and he's doing that. This is another
jump scare that has just lit up the internet. This
has been long a parlor game among presidents whether you
could get around any president get around the twenty second Amendment.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
I so agree with Turley and I absolutely adore his
analogy there. This president likes giving the media a sneak
in the can. That is the most descriptive, spot on
description of I think President Trump's relationship with the press.
He likes screwing with him. I think that this is
a troll. I think it's absolutely troll.

Speaker 17 (15:20):
What do you think?

Speaker 1 (15:20):
I'd like to know what you think. I can imagine
what Ben would think if he were here. He'll be
back next week and you'll be able to hear him.
But I think it's I think it's a troll. You
can let me know what you think. You can contact
Ben and I on X at Newsbyte three or on Facebook.
At news Byte We'll have a new episode next week

(15:40):
and Ben will be rejoining me. Meanwhile, have a great week.
