Speaker 1 (00:00):
Do you wish you had any of those dollars back.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I wish that I had the federal dollars back that
they promised us on immigration that we spent their reimbursement.
I definitely wish we had those back. I wouldn't take
back any of dollars we spent on homelessness. I think
when you look at the results that we've had on
that investment, it's historic, and we've dropped the homeless rate
more than any other city in American history. That's a win.
So I think that investment's working. We'll keep doing it.
We want to find ways to make it better. I
(00:24):
think on the migrant crisis, we certainly didn't ask for it,
didn't go looking for it. That was not on our
priority list. But we also didn't want to see people
freeze to death from the streets of the city, so
that was a humanitarian crisis we had to step in.
I wish the federal government had come through and their
promise to reimburse us, but I wouldn't change our response.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston pointing the finger at the federal
government and not getting the funds he was promised. That's
what he was banking on simple fact of the matter remains,
if you remove all of Mike Johnston's social programs surrounding
illegal aliens who are here and the homeless and giving
(01:00):
them temporary shelter housing and then churning them back into
the streets, you would zero out the budget shortfall of
two hundred and fifty million dollars. It literally as if you
looked at it on a ledger. That's it. That's the
missing two hundred fifty million. Now he's citing the missing
federal money. But this is exactly why, you know, we
had this disagreement within the Republican Party about the Big
(01:23):
Beautiful Bill and whether or not state and local taxes
in New York California should be used to be exempt
from federal taxes, or that federal dollars going to states
for state projects. For instance, in Kelly's grand home state
of California, Gavin news You remember what he wanted to do,
the boondoggle project that Gavin Newsom had. Kelly remember what
(01:46):
that was, Oh, the bridge nowhere, No, no, no, no, the
bullet train to everywhere.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Yeah, the bullet train. Yeah, that was another one, Yes.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Between San Francisco and Los Angeles. And never got built.
Every Where's that money? Where's that money?
Speaker 4 (01:58):
I have no idea, I have my money.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I'd be like Jimmy Conway from Goodfellas. I mean Jimmy
Conway from Goodfellas, come and get to get the two
pay guy the money.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
What a scene.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Yeah, well this just goes to show you. I mean,
not just the bridge to know where, you know, the
bullet train that was never built. There's all these fantasy
projects that never get paid for, and the wasteful spending
we saw through Doge And why should people living in
red states have to finance blue state referendums on spending
(02:36):
and Mike Johnson trying to pawn this off on the Feds.
I mean, that's a pretty weak look. And he doesn't
wish you know that he had the state tax dollars back,
which are all gone state and city. He's looking at
the federal funds. And Kyle Clark, to his credit, asked
the very question that I was just posing right there. Well,
wait a minute. Listen to how he frames it though.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I mean, you know, your critics, especially those on the right,
many of them don't live in the city of Denver,
but care about Denver, right draw straight line between your
spending on migrants and you're spending on homelessness. In the
city's current financial position, why isn't it fair to draw
that straight line?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, I think because the facts don't bear that out.
If you want to look at a direct line of
what's happening on the budget crisis, it is that every
year in the last fifteen years, the city has averaged
about a five percent increase in sales tax revenue every year.
This year in twenty twenty five, that increases that near
zero siero point three percent.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Why is that? Why has Denver lost so much sales
tax revenue? What has happened to businesses in downtown Denver
on what used to be known was the sixteenth Street
mall and then they paid one hundred grand for consultation
fees from a British firm to have them eliminate just
the word mall and now it's sixteenth Street. My niece
(03:46):
Mela could have come up with something better than that
for a lot less money, and she's you know, it's
fourteen years old. But when you don't have a tax
base to draw from, you're not going to collect the
tax revenue that you need to enact these public policies,
these social welfare programs that Mike Johnston dreams about. This
(04:07):
is the peril, the shortfall, the danger of socialism, and
of a city that had been run am up that
is not friendly to businesses setting up shop downtown. So
many of those have closed, have packed up, have left
all the blanks space on Sixteenth Street and the surrounding
area there. Why did this sales tax revenue he was
(04:30):
talking about five percent go down to zero?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
So what's happened is with the global trade wars and
economic recession fears and the uncertainty of the president, people
are afraid to buy a new refrigerator, or go out
to dinner, or go on vacation. And that is why
our sales tax revenues are flat. And well, you have
a growing government and flat revenues. That math doesn't work,
and so we'll make the hard decisions like any business
or family does to. If you got less money coming in,
(04:53):
you got to find a way to make the budget.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Palace punintended. What does that have to do with the
price of tea in China? The Trump tariffs? Again, he's
trying to blame federal policies that have nothing to do
with the state policies of Colorado or the local policies
of Denver. He's not looking in the mirror. He's just
shifting the blame. The tariffs are the reason why Denver
sales tax revenues are down. Get out of here. That's insanity.
(05:21):
That does not make any logical sense. The fact that Denver,
the city itself is not business friendly and has not
been for some time, certainly dating back to twenty twenty.
Think about if you've been to Denver downtown and I've
been there many times for comedy shows at the Paramount
or baseball games at Coors Field, how many businesses that
(05:42):
were their pre pandemic are gone. Now they're gone, and
that had nothing to do with the Trump tariffs. Erroneous.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Let's talk about your homelessness initiative. I mean, it's undeniable
the way that it's transformed the city. You do not
see the encampments that you used to see all over
the city. So the question is are you solving homelessness
or are you just hiding it out of public sight.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
We are solving it, and we have not solved it yet.
So I think there are two stages. I also want
to speak to the folks who say and they say
this to me regularly. Okay, Mike, that's great that this
is down fifty percent. Why do I still see four
guys wandering down.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Cool facts every day I drive to work. That is true.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
What we don't have now is campments of fifty people
intents anymore in open air drug markets or you know.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Human trafficking.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
What we do have are the folks remaining that are
the most serious addicts and folks in mental illness, who
are not even sleeping on a tent or on a
cardboard box. They're just using until they pass out. And
so our next phase, the effort is really focused on
those people, and that strategy is different in the last one.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Have you noticed this difference in Denver yourselves? I mean,
I'm asking here because there's going to be a question
from Kyle Clark that insinuates that there's fear mongering going
on from the right. The conservatives are pouncing on this
issue and making a bigger deal of it than it
needs to be. But just tell me, honestly, if you've
been to Denver downtown, what you've seen, what you've noticed,
is this true? Five seven, seven, three nine, inviting your
(07:07):
texts on that subject. And this is two things. Not
an easy problem to fix the homelessness blight in Denver
and not easy to solve it across the board. You're
going to have rogue individuals that continue to use drugs,
that are mentally ill, and they could be both drug
addicts and mentally ill. And it's very difficult to enact
(07:31):
policies that save people from themselves. That's just a bottom
line thing. But are we offering that hand up type
of help, That's what I'm talking about, hand up, not
hand out. Not you get this, nothing is expected in return.
Do you build a bridge not to nowhere? Do you
build a bridge on a foundation of helping out of compassion,
(07:53):
but then also requiring from that individual that they get
their lives right, that they get a job, they're able
to get on their feet, that they're able to get
into their own homes, that they're not just languishing out
here in some purgatory state, which of course is what
happens with a lot of people in these predicaments. And
here's Mike Johnston with Moore.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
What we see is we're getting folks off the street
into transitional housing. These all insights and we know they
stabilize there, we have fewer overdose deaths, we have much
easier for us to provide services. Our big next step
is getting them out into permanent housing where they can
pay their own rent. There they face the same challenge
in Denver that the nurses or teachers or waiters in
this city face, which is it's very hard to find
(08:34):
apartments that are affordable.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
And so that is still a challenge.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
But that's now the bottleneck, not having a place for
people to go to get off the streets.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
He's right, Housing costs are out of control in Colorado
and in Denver. What is causing that inflationary pricing in
the market that exceeds year to year people's ability to
earn the salaries that they make. What are the answers
to that, to the housing dilemma just for the homeless.
But let's say somebody that's just out of school that
(09:04):
wants to rent their own apartment and good luck and
has to have three or four roommates to make ends
meet to be able to do that. And it's not
just a problem that's isolated here in Colorado or specifically
to Denver. Here's the conservatives pounce.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Question from Comrade, Kyle, we know violent crime in Denver's dropping, yes,
but you're still having a hard time convincing people to
come down, especially to downtown Denver, and right, that's influenced
by a lot of things. There's memories of the pandemic
era crime surge. There's the way that local media fixates
on crime. There's also the thing that's happening now in
conservative culture where conservatives are trying to convince other conservatives
(09:39):
that cities are scary.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
And that you shouldn't go to them.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
All those things being what they are, how do you
break through that and convince people to come back to
downtown Denver.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Do you hear this creative framing from Kyle Clark there, Oh,
we're just trying to scare you and out going downtown
is dangerous, it's dirty. You don't know what's going to happen. Well, Kyle,
I would ask you to explain to the family members
of the flight attendant who was stabbed to death on
sixteenth Street mal what they think about your assertion there
(10:10):
that this is just some kind of conservative fabrication or exaggeration.
These violent crimes, these open air drug markets, it's still
happening down there. Mike Johnson said, it is not it is.
Have you been to Union Station anywhere around there in
the downtown vicinity or on Sixteenth Street itself? It's bad, dad, baby.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Do you remember what happened when we went to a
comedy show at.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Paramount Tell the people.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Well, just so happened the parking complex we decided to
park in on. I believe it was Court, No, maybe
not Court. Uh who cares?
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Good shot you exactly.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
A dude did a nice little flip a header of
the top.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Of the parking structure, jumped to his death. That happened.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
He was laying in the ground and in the room,
and we parked in the same structure and we had
to walk right past.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Now that's just one example of many. It gets real
stabby on Sixteenth Street. As I stated as well, So
are these just more features of our imagination, Kyle, or
you're joining up with Governor Polis on that. I'm not
telling anybody anything about downtown that isn't true. These are
things that I have seen. I had to navigate my way.
This is a couple of years ago. I think it
(11:34):
predates Johnston, but I remember distinctly I went to the
British bulldog. I love that bar. It's a British tavern.
It's really cool. And was walking from there to course
Field and in the meantime I had to navigate this
maze of homeless tent encampments, needles laying all over, people
accosting me, coming up really close into my personal space. Again,
(11:59):
that happened. You can say it to my imagination, but
I'm pretty sure I experienced it firsthand. And all I
tell our listeners out there are things that I know,
things that I have seen myself. I go downtown. I
still do it now, maybe to my detriment, maybe to
my peril, but there are things that I like to
do to go downtown. But I'm I'm a guy. Would
(12:23):
I do it if I were a single woman all
by myself?
Speaker 6 (12:25):
Ean?
Speaker 3 (12:25):
No, No, Nor would I recommend that at all. Continuing
now with Johnston's answer, this very slantid presentation of a
question to a couple of things.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
One are we still think facts matter? So yes, the
fact that the murder rate is down fifty eight percent
in Denver, it's the biggest drop of any saying in
the country. We're going to keep saying that over and
over because it's important to know that.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
But is it true? Is it true? Like to reach out.
I know Sheriff Steve Reams is listening, but we know
how this data is being manipulated. It's happening in California
with Gavin Newsom when he cites these same kinds of
numbers and he goes after let's say Senator Katie Britton Alabama,
or send Marsha at Blackburn in Tennessee. Our murder rates
war way down because you're not reporting the crime. This
(13:05):
is the whole Castanza thing. It's not a crime if
you don't report it, a variation of it's not a
lie if you believe it. But that's what's happening here.
A lot of this data is not being entered. Why
back up a step from there, because they don't want
to submit the demographic data that maybe a lot of
these crimes are being committed by you guessed it, illegal aliens.
(13:31):
So they've got to fudge the numbers somehow under reporting crime.
This is what's happening out there. Don't take my word
for it, looking up yourself. Continuing again, I'm challenging the
premise that murders are down fifty eight percent in Denver
and whether or not that's true.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
The second is respond to people's concerns. This is why
we created this dedicated downtown Denver police units. So now
we have ten officers on foot, we have ten officers
on motorcycles, ten officers on bikes, with officers on horses.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
We really surged capacity.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
I walk sixteen three, I can't make it two blocks
out seeing an officer of some sort.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
So we've done that. Is that true? Are there? Is
there more of a police presence that you've seen since
Mike Johnston's taken office downtown on sixteenth Street or anywhere
else down there? What have you observed? I want to
hear from you five seven, seven, three nine, So how
do you bring back recapture the magic of downtown Denver?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
And the third really is moments of joy like we
will have to create incentives to lure you back down
right the Fisher concert we had outdoors.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
On sixteth Street, first time.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
My sixteen year old son has begged me to come
to sixteenth Street.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
That was a success for us.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
We'll keep doing those things outside fast, a lot of
those that invite people back, because we do think those
moments give you a new memory of Denver. Because a
lot of folks will say to me, I don't come downtown.
I say when did you come the last time? And
they'll say twenty twenty And I say, okay, you.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Got to get it till you get why they don't
have a good memory.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
I get why they don't have it. I remember that too,
I was working downtown every day that it wasn't a
good memory, so we got to make new ones.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Okay, is it better now? Is it safer now? Five
years later? Twenty twenty to twenty twenty five? Flash forward?
Not based on anecdotal evidence that you've heard, even from me.
I'm asking for those that have gone downtown Denver, specifically
personally directly, that you have witnessed with your own eyeballs.
Is it markedly different? And I'm leaving room for those
who interpret them. Yeah, No, I've seen more police ran
(15:16):
or do feel safer? It seems cleaner. There are fewer
homeless addicts on the streets. If that's what you've encountered,
and that's what you've seen, then I would like to
hear about that and that there is some kind of
progress being made. But a lot of these homeless and
the illegal aliens are not being housed on a permanent basis.
This is certain only a churning method to temporarily house
(15:36):
them and then send them right back out on the
street without really taking any time to address why they
got in the position they're in in the first place,
you know, trying to provide those services that would get
them off of drugs and or alcohol, trying to get
them in a state of mind where they can be
hired to do a job, could be any job. It's
a process, right, and there's steps in this process, and
(15:58):
that there needs to be accountability in every individual. They
are responsible for their own sobriety, They are responsible for
their own work ethic, and if they're mentally ill, then
they are responsible for accepting the help that they need. Now,
the bridge to nowhere.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Governor Polis wants to build a pedestrian bridge like right
over there. He wanted to go from the front lawn
of the State Capitol over to Civic Center Park, which
city land, but very quietly the city told him no.
So he's pulled it back to just Lincoln Veterans Memorial Park.
This is still going to be a really prominent new
landmark in the center of the city.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Do you want it there.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Well, I have the benefit of I've just spent the
last six months asking every den right what they want
to build in the city. So I know he's taking
a survey nowt to ask people for feedback.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
How many of them said a big bridge on the
front lawn of the state capitol.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I don't have any of those yet, but I do
have seven thousand folks who have pushed for things I
think the governor would love. I'll see how his survey
comes out, but I got a bunch of other ideas
he could use if he wants.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Now lead a minute. Governor Polish swore to us that
this was the talk at every corner bar, wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I thought, some is this what you should have done
months ago before were announced that you were going forward
with a bridge.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
Well we couldn't because there was no bridge for people
to vote on, right, So I mean it has to
be in sequence. People would have not known we were
what we were talking about had we done this three
months ago, because there was no visuals, there was no project.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
So thanks to that, which is all very recent. This
is all what about a month or two.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
People have been out there, people have been talking about it,
you know, it's great. You go down to Corner Bar,
people saying they love it, people say they hate it.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
It's great.
Speaker 7 (17:26):
People are feeling ownership and passionate about this. So what
does that all mean? And how do we kind of
decipher that into whether we do this or not?
Speaker 3 (17:32):
You know what that is? That's a feature of Jared
Polis's imagination right there. That one was for Daniel Jorinski.
That was a feature of his imagination, that at the
corner bar where everybody knows your name. When Toto and
I go down to JD's, Hey, why do you think
of that? About that bridge? Downtown? What? Who?
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Why?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
All the questions? Yeah, thanks Governor Polis and Mike Johnston,

Speaker 6 (19:33):
The implications of this are, frankly, nothing short of historic.
Over one hundred documents that we released on Friday really
detail and provide evidence of how this treason is conspiracy
was directed by President Obama just weeks before he was
due to leave office, after President Trump had already gotten elected.
(19:56):
This is not a Democrat or Republican issue. This is
a new s that is so serious it should concern
every single American because it has to do with the
integrity of our democratic republic. What we saw occur here,
as the documents we released detailed, was that we had
a sitting president of the United States and his cabinet
and leadership team, quite frankly, who were not happy with
(20:18):
the fact that President Trump had won the election, that
the American people had chosen Donald J. Trump to be
the next president. Commander in Chief of the United States.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Director of National Intelligence Telsey Gabbard really putting words and
evidence to what we had all long suspected that the
Obama administration, going right up to the top, was responsible
for perpetuating and perpetrating the Russia collusion hoax. Talking about
a lot of names under Barack Obama himself, and the
(20:47):
fact that he would have had to sign off on
a lot of this, whether it's James Clapper or James
Comy or John Brennan, any of these central principal actors
near Doells that were involved in this. It has been
confirmed that the Obama administration was up to no good.
Joining us to respond the President of the United States,
President Donald J. Trump here on Ryan Schuling Live. Mister President,
(21:09):
thank you for your time. As always.
Speaker 8 (21:11):
Well, we're very happy.
Speaker 9 (21:12):
To be here.
Speaker 8 (21:12):
We know that you're doing a tremendous job in Colorado
with that fat governor. You have a very fat governor.
And speaking of somebody else who's fat and wants to
be the governor, Yes, Stacy Abrams, she says she's going
to be running for office again. I said maybe she
should start with walking first. Running maybe a little too
much when you look at her, but that's you know,
(21:33):
that's we just wanted to put that out there. You know,
we call her the Beast of the Southeast, and she's
finally back from Iran. You know, we dropped her on
the nuclear sides. She's the thirty thousand time bunker buster
and now she's thinking about running for office again, so
very happy to hear that she's still very much in
the mix.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
I can tell you that, mister President, want to play
sound for our listeners as well. Following up on the
Obama administration, what they did to you upon you winning
November of twenty sixteen, this exchange certainly rings a lot
more true today even than it did at the time.
Speaker 9 (22:06):
The biggest scandal was when they spied on my campaign.
They spied on my campaign.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
There's no real evidence of that, of.
Speaker 9 (22:13):
Course, there is all over the place, Leslie. So spied
on my campaign and they got picked.
Speaker 8 (22:18):
Can I say something?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
You know, this is sixty minutes and we can't put
on things. We can't verify it.
Speaker 8 (22:25):
On because it's bad for Biden.
Speaker 10 (22:26):
We can't things.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
We can't very Leslie.
Speaker 9 (22:29):
They spied to my camp, we can it's fine, totally verified. No,
it's been just go down and get the papers. They
spied on my campaign. They got caught. No, and then
they went much further than that, and they got caught.
And you will see that, Leslie, and you know that,
but you just don't want to go.
Speaker 10 (22:45):
As a matter of fact, I don't.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Know that mister president. How right were you in that exchange?
And how wrong was Leslie Stall?
Speaker 8 (22:53):
Well, Leslie Stall is always wrong. You know, she started
busting out there, and you know she's very stupid. You
look at six minutes how stupid they are. And they
just lost a big case because of what they did
with Kamala. You know, they edited her answer. They said
you can't put things on that aren't verified. Yet they
had Kamala on and they edited her answer. You know,
they made it sound like a genius, if that's even possible.
(23:15):
But they made us sound very smart when she's not
a smart person. She's a stupid person. But they made
it sound like a smart person that wasn't serving up
word salads all over the place, but she was serving
them up like nobody's ever seen before. It was like
a salad boar. You know, you got a word over here,
you got a word over there, you throw it in
a ball, you toss it up. That was her answer.
But you look at Leslie Stall and she said that
(23:38):
it wasn't verified. Meanwhile, they spied on the campaign. They
spied a lot, and they learned some things, probably that
they shouldn't have learned. But it's all true. I was
one hundred percent right. She was one hundred percent rud
And you look at Tulsa. I call a Hula Hula, right,
she came from Hawaii. I said to Hula, I said,
you have to release the name. Since she released the
(23:58):
ends and the document. And now they're unfortunately headed to
Pambondi's desk, where who the hell knows what's going to happen. Right,
you know, we're thinking of deporting the illegal aliens to
pambond these desks because then we'll never see them again.
But hopefully we see more from this case, and hopefully
we see big beautiful handcuffs. They call them the silver bracelets.
(24:19):
Maybe we'll even do the golden bracelets. You know, they're
going to be upset that we're going to take their
mug shots. Even though my mug shot was a lot
nice and they pulled them mother Lisa mugshot. We're going
to take a lot of mug shots. I can tell
you that these are ugly people too. They're not gonna
have mug shots that look like my mug shot. But
we're looking for consequences and we're looking for accountability, and
(24:39):
I believe we're going to get it.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
President Donald J. Trump joining us here on Ryan schuling
Lie with his reaction to the latest news and specifically
you talk about Attorney General Bondie and the miscommunication about
releasing the Epstein files. Well, they couldn't get you on those,
mister Presidents. So they're purporting in the Wall Street Journal
that you doodled a picture and sent that along to
(25:03):
Jeffrey Epstein for his fiftieth birthday. Even Michael Cohen, your
crooked former lawyer, he could not get on board with that.
Some interesting comments here.
Speaker 11 (25:10):
President Trump is vociferously denying this Wall Street Journal story
about this birthday letter that he reportedly sent Epstein. He posted, quote,
these are not my words, not the way I talk. Also,
I don't draw pictures, unquote. When you read the story,
when you heard about it, what was your take?
Speaker 5 (25:30):
I agreed with him. I have never not once and again,
over thirteen years of being by the man's side, I
have never once seen him doodle.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
I never saw him draw a picture.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
In fact, I would be very shocked if Donald Trump
actually can doodle.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
It's just not his thing.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
And the language using words like enigma, that's not a
Donald Trump word. I mean, he certainly knows what the
word is, but it's not a word that he uses.
I found the whole thing just to be odd.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Mister President, Can you doodle? Have you doodled? And have
you used a word like enigma?
Speaker 8 (26:08):
Well? I invented the word enigma. It's a beautiful word,
but I don't use it often.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
You know.
Speaker 8 (26:13):
It's a tough word. A lot of people don't know
what the hell it means. But I know what it means.
It's a tremendous thing. I could doodle, but I didn't
doodle to Jeffrey Epstein. But I can doodle like nobody's
ever seen before. I am.
Speaker 9 (26:24):
You know.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
I taught Picasso, great guy. I taught him. I taught
everybody you know. You look at it, you know, Da Vinci,
Picasso a lot of people, beautiful people. Michael Angelo taught
him a lot and taught him everything he knows.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
You know.
Speaker 8 (26:40):
I also painted the syste In Champel. Nobody knows that,
but I painted it. I'm a tremendous guy, and I
do a wonderful job. But I wouldn't be doodling to
Jeffrey Epstein that much. I can tell you. We wouldn't
do that. The Wall Street Journal is a joke. They're
a complete choke, you know. And if we're suing them
for a lot, just like we took a lot from
(27:00):
George Snufflophagus slap adoppolos over at ABC, we took a
lot from CBS over the sixty minutes ridiculous answer. And
now we're suing the Wall Street Journal. We have Murdoch,
we're going to own that paper, and we're going to
sue anybody who continues to do stupid things like that
because they're very stupid. But I can doodle if I
(27:23):
wanted to, they would be beautiful doodles. But I don't
usually do that, right, I'd rather paint the masterpiece said
doodle on a piece of paper and send it to
Jeffrey Epstein is a sick person, very sick. But I
can doodle. And if I did, these doodles would be
hanging up in the Museum of Modern Art, right the
Metropolitan Museum, the Moment Macuata Paloma, the Metro Colinville Museum
(27:47):
of Modern Art, and that's where these doodles would be.
But I don't do it often, and I didn't send
that letter to Jeffrey Epstein. We don't like that guy.
This sick guy. We don't like that guy, and we
only send doodles to people we like who we'll send
you a doodle, but we're not going to send that
guy a doodle.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
I would welcome that with open arms. Mister President, thank
you for clearing that up. Now, you mentioned suing the
Wall Street Journal, and you've been on a heater lately.
You've been on a roll with winning, and not just
in terms of policy, but in these lawsuits, as you
mentioned against George Sephanopolis of ABC News against sixty Minutes
for the deceptive editing of the Kamala Harris interview, and
Brian Stelter of CNN is theorizing that CBS may have
(28:26):
canceled Stephen Colbert out of panic because of remarks that
he was making on his program and that they were
capitulating to you. Let's get that a listen.
Speaker 12 (28:34):
From the optics standpoint, the timing could not be worse
for CBS. Colbert is such an outspoken Trump critic, he's
just back from vacation, and as he showed there on
Monday on his first night back from vacation, he's also
a thorn in his parent company's side. So this looks
to a lot of Colbert's fans, like another form of
capitulation by CBS to the President the United States.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Did CBS fire Stephen Colbert because of their fear of you,
mister President?
Speaker 8 (29:00):
CBS to not fire Cobert because of me? You know,
you look at Brian Stelter. I call her mister.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Potato head or Humpty Dumpty.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
You know, Humpty Dumpty's had on the wall, beautiful wall
by the way I built the wall. Humpty Dumpty had
a great fall. It was a great fall, and he
got canceled from CNN. You know that CNN canceled Dumpty Dumpty.
Brian's Delter, whose gender is still in question. You listen
to him talk right, and you don't know which way
he goes. But some people have theories. Other people have
(29:29):
other theories. But he got canceled for the same reason
Colbert got canceled, because they're losing a lot of money.
You look at Stephen Colbert was losing for the network
forty million dollars annually. Forty million dollars. That is the
salary of Aaron Juddes of the New York Yankees, who
I thought out a swing of bat beautiful guy, wonderful swing.
(29:50):
But I taught him and now he hits all run
every time he's uppy. It's a lot of home runs
at the very fall. But that's his salary. Every year
he makes forty million. Stephen cob there is costing the
network forty million dollars to be a jerk, to be
a loser on television. His writings are tanking. It wasn't political,
it was financial. He lost them a lot of money.
(30:12):
It was a bad deal. And Brian Stelton knows a
lot about a bad deals. He's a looking bad deal
if he can work it all. He's well like a
rolling Polly you look at him, but he's a looking rolling,
big bad deal. And he knows a lot about being
canceled because he's been canceled more times than once, so much.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
I can tell you finally, mister President, a bad deal.
You could describe Hunter Biden that way. He's been very
vocal over these last twenty four hours making podcast appearances,
and he had this to say about you and President
Bukele of El Salvador.
Speaker 10 (30:41):
But these guys think that we need to run away
from all values in order for us to lead. I
say you how are we getting those people back from
Mel Salvador.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Because I'll tell you what, if.
Speaker 10 (30:52):
I became president in two years from now, or four
years from now or three years from now, I would
pick up the phone and call the president of El
Salvador say you either send them back or I'm going
to invade. It's a crime what they're doing. He's a dictator,
thug well Kelly or drump both both.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
He says that you are a thug, mister President Hunter Biden,
and then he described a world where he was president.
What would that world look like?
Speaker 8 (31:19):
Well, first of all, he has a filthy mouth, right
you hear the word. He keeps using the airport and
I used it one time and everybody had a problem
with it. He's using it. It sounded like an episode
of the Osborne just had a like horse toad. It
was beeping so much you can't believe it. But this
is a crack addicted, drug addicted disaster. He got a
pardon from his father and didn't know where the hell
(31:40):
he was. And you know, he's a problem. Hunter's a problem.
I used to call him because I got atot very well.
Ryan with Rudolph the Red Nose reindeer, right. I got
a little well with him, tremendous. He had a beautiful,
shiny nose. Who were thinking about writing Magon and it
was so red. But we call Hunter Biden Hunted the
white nosed crackhead, right. He's a horrible guy. Drug problem,
(32:01):
mental problems, a lot of problems. And you know, Hunter
Biden's talking about potentially running for president, and I think
his father wants him to do it this way, Joe
wouldn't have been the worst Biden as president. But Hunter's
going to watch his mouth and he really should stay
away from the cameras. You know, he's looking really rough.
(32:21):
Nobody's buying his artwork anymore. Maybe he's doing the link
to Jeffrey Epstein, who knows, but nobody's buying his artwork anymore.
He's having a rough go. He's broke, and now he's
laughing out of people. He ought to be ashamed of himself.
He's a horrible guy and he better not ever run
for president.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
The forty fifth and forty seventh President of the United
States taking time out of his busy schedule to join
us again here today, mister President, thank you so much
for your time.
Speaker 8 (32:49):
Thank you, Ryan Remember, don't quit that day job. You
do a tremendous job.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Don't quit the day job.
Speaker 8 (32:54):
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Speaker 3 (32:56):

as Sean Ferrish. You can follow him on x at
