Speaker 1 (00:01):
They tried to silence Donald Trump. That didn't work. They
tried to bankrupt him, that didn't work either. Then the
left tried to put him in jail for the rest
of his life. So far, that hasn't worked. So then

(00:21):
what do they do? They tried to kill him. Let's
make no mistake about what we witnessed yesterday. That was
an assassination attempt. They were trying to kill. They were
trying to murder the president of the United States of
America and the presumptive.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Nominee.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Not only do they try to kill him, they tried
to do it in front of his supporters.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
They tried to do.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
It on live TV. Because when you can't silence the man,
what do you do next? You ratchet it up, right,
and then what do you do? You go after him
and you turn the legal system on. Then you try
to bankrupt him, You try to take his stuff, You
try to ruin him financially so that he's weak.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
And then when that doesn't work.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
You say, all right, well, let's go to the next level.
Now we're going to try to jail him so that
he can't run. And before they did all that, they
tried to impeach him. They tried to say that he
was an asset of Russia. They then allowed for an
impeachment to happen when the party that was doing it.
And I've been saying this now for a long time,

(01:35):
and I think now many of you will agree with me.
The Democratic Party is dead. They are now filled with Marxists, socialists,
and communists who have no problem killing or in prisoning,
or bankrupting or silencing their political opponents. The Democratic Party,
make no doubt about it, make no mistake about it.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
They wanted Donald Trump dead.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
You may say that's extreme, Okay, I'll shut up for
forty seven seconds, and I'll remind you who the Democratic
Party and the media are and what they've been saying.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
I said no, I said, if we're in high school,
I take you behind the gym and beat the hell.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Out of them.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
I will go and take Trump out to night too.

Speaker 5 (02:20):
Many see the protests as the problem. Please show me
where it says that protests are supposed to be polite
and peaceful. Go to the hill today, get up in
the face of some congress people.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
And if you see anybody done that cabinet in a restaurant,
you'll get out and.

Speaker 6 (02:40):
Them running away from Donald Trump. I think you need
to go back and then punch him in a face.

Speaker 7 (02:50):
You know, there needs to be unrest in the streets.

Speaker 8 (02:51):
For as all as there is unrest in our lives.

Speaker 6 (02:53):
You're still gonna have to go out and put a
bullet in Donald Trump. And that's a fact.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Let me go back to the very last person.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Rick Wilson, is an individual that they put up on
CNN and he said, you know, those Trump' spores are dumb,
They're stupid. Do you remember that? And then Rick Wilson
now says, make no mistake. You know, I don't even
want to say it. I want you to hear it
from him, because this is what NBC put on TV.

Speaker 6 (03:23):
You're still going to have to go out and put
a bullet in Donald Trump. And that's a fact.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
They're still going to have to go out and put
a bullet in Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
That's a fact.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Let me also remind you of the rhetoric that was
coming from this White House. I have posted many of
the things that I am saying right now, by the way,
on social media. If you are not following me on
social media, do it now because I will keep you
updated with every single thing that is happening for the
days moving forward. It's Ben Ferguson podcast on Instagram. Everything

(03:57):
that I am going to read for you tonight I
have already posted up there.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
I want to make that clear.

Speaker 9 (04:02):
Now.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
I've got a lot more to say about this in
a moment, but I want to tell you about my
friends over at Patriot Mobile. For ten years, Patriot Mobile
has been America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
And when I say only, I mean it.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Patriot Mobile is an incredible company that takes five percent
of your bill every month and they give it back
at no extra cost to you to conservative causes candidates
and organizations that support our first, our Second Amendment rights,
religious freedom, the sanctity of life, and our military, our veterans,

(04:36):
and our first responders. Now you may hear that and say, well, Ben,
that's great, we love that, right, Yeah, why does that
matter so much? Well, if you're with Big Mobile, who
you're probably with right now, you've actually been giving massive
donations to Plan Parenthood radical causes candidates at the local, state,
and national level. You probably didn't even realize your money

(05:00):
was going to places like Planned Parenthood, but now you know,
and the question is Are you going to stand up
for what you believe in and stop giving your money
to candidates and to those organizations that you cannot stand. Well,
that's why I switch to Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile is
easy to switch now. It is easier now than it's
ever been. And when I say easy, I'm not kidding

(05:22):
when I say it is easy. It is incredibly easy
to make the switch right now to Patriot Mobile. You
can do it over the phone. All you got to
do is call them the number ninety seven to two
Patriot call them, use my name Ben. You're gonna get
free activation. Make the switch. You keep your same cell phone,

(05:43):
same cell phone number, and every time you make a call, you,
every time you send a text, every time you pay
your bill, you're standing up for what you believe in.
Nine seven to two Patriot get free activation when you
use the offer code Ben or online at patriotmobile dot
com slash Ben. That's Patriot Mobile slash Ben. Now, let
me go back to what this president. And by the way,

(06:05):
on Twitter, if you're on Twitter Ben Ferguson's show. On Facebook,
put in Ben Ferguson. You'll see my page. Jump up.
Let me read you though, even after they tried to
kill the president. What some people are saying Tennessee State Center,
London Lamar blame MAGA for the assassination at temping against
Donald Trump and a sense deleted tweet quote why I'm

(06:27):
praying for former President Trump and hope he makes a
full recovery. The extremism from the MAGA regime has brought
us to this moment. They're being Donald Trump in the
Democratic Party for what just happened. So let me make
it clear tonight. And I said this yesterday, and I
don't regret saying and I said, f the media who

(06:47):
called Trump hitler for years, you allowed this to happen.
I'm angry. And by the way, I'm not gonna apologize
for that anger. Because you could see this ratcheting up.
You could see this happening. I said, have the Democrats
who try to lock him up and weaponize.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Our Department of Justice? The left's rhetoric, the.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Marxist, the socialist to commis Democratic Party is dead. I've
been saying it to you for a long time. People
are like, oh, somebody are like, Oh, that's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
No, it's not. The Democratic Party is dead.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
It is a Marxist Socialist Communist organization. Now they tried
to kill him, and I'll say this that means we
must elect him.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
I'm going to say it again. If there's anything that.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
I hope you take away from this show, it is
that they tried to kill Donald Trump. They tried to
jail him, they tried to silence and they tried to
bankrupt him. They tried a coup attempt against a president
of the United States America in twenty sixteen.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
And now we must elect Donald J.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Trump is the president of the United States of America.
The Democratic Party I will never ever trust.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
I want to make that clear.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
Five days ago, by the way, Biden told donors, and
this is where there's lack of accountability for the words
of the President of the United States of America, Joe Biden.
Biden told donors on a call five days ago, it's
time to put Trump in the bull's eye. Five days ago,
the President of the United States of America said that

(08:23):
it's time to put Trump in the bull's eye. I'm
gonna say a lot of things twice tonight because I
want to make sure everybody here is exactly what they
were saying. Someone tried to kill the President of United
States of America, Donald Trump. And you know what Trump
said to us, He said, hold on, fight, fight fight.
I will make it very clear as well. I will

(08:45):
stand with this man forever. I will stand with this
man forever. And if you want to know how disgusting
the media is, let me just read you some of
the headlines. Here's a headline for you after the assassination
Trump taken away after loud noises at rally.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
I'm gonna read that again.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
The media trying to coorox in whitewash this moment in
history by riding a headline Trump taken away after loud
noises so gunshots. An assassination attempt on a guy they
don't like is referred to now as loud noises at
a rally. Washington Post called it loud noises. CNN said

(09:26):
Trump fell in their first headline, he fell, no someone
tried to blow his head off and he was shot
in the ear. NBC referred to it as quote popping noises.
There's not just bias in the media, folks, there's evil
in this media. I'm not gonna take it back either.

(09:47):
Let me read you a quote from Joe Biden. I
have one job, and that job's to beat Donald Trump.
I'm absolutely certain I'm the best person to be able
to do that. So we're done talking about the debate.
It's time to put Trump in a b quote unquote.
That is what has led to the violence and the
assassination attempt against Donald J. Trump, and I'm not gonna

(10:11):
let these scumbags rewrite history. Let me also be clear
that Joe Biden isn't the only one that was calling
for violence, talking about putting Donald Trump in.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
The center of a bullseye.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Leaders, even if they're incompetent, have followers. Joe Biden has followers.
Joe Biden has a lot of people underneath them in
the Democratic Party, which is dead and now they're Marxist,
socialists and communists have no problem through jailing their political
opponents or just shooting them in the head if they
don't like them. Democrat Representative Dan Goldman back in twenty

(10:50):
twenty three, also on NBCMSNBC, said this about President Trump.

Speaker 8 (10:58):
It's just a at this point that that man cannot
see public office again. He is not only unfit, he
is destructive to our democracy. Uh, and he has to
be Uh. He has to be eliminated.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
I'm sorry, are we we're talking about Donald Trump, the
President of the United States of America, Former President Trump.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
What did he say. I'm gonna say a lot of
things tonight twice.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (11:25):
And he has to be he has to be eliminated.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
You know. He said that too, with no pushback.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
He said that the former White House Press Secretary Jensaki.
So they allowed guests to come on, and they allowed
guests to then whisper to the ears of the psychos
of the Democratic Party.

Speaker 10 (11:46):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (11:46):
And he has to be.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (11:48):
He has to be eliminated.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
And by the way, when he was saying that, she
was nodding in agreement. Nodding in agreement. I want to
take a moment and I want to ask for your
help there in Israel. Started on October the seventh, we
have seen death and destruction in the Holy Land for
more than forty years. The International Fellowship of Christians and

(12:09):
Jews has been on the ground in Israel, and within
hours of the war starting, and every day since, they've
been feeding the hungry and protecting the vulnerable. You may
not realize, but Israel is literally under attack now on
a daily basis, with rockets coming in Those that are
surrounding Israel are doing everything they can to take them out.

(12:31):
The attacks continue in the North and the South, but
there are resilient survivors who bravely share their stories. In
a series the Fellowship calls Faces of Iron Survivors like Danny.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
His beloved daughter and her husband.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Were burned alive on October the seventh by Hamas Terras.
Danny is a commander of the volunteer fire and rescue
group in his community. Despite fire equipment nearby, Danny could
do nothing as his daughter's house and his daughter and
her husband lost their lives. Christians like you support Israel
through the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. It's a

(13:10):
support that helps these survivors remain steadfast and strong. To
hear more stories like this one and show your support
for Israel. Please stand with me and visit support IFCJ
dot org. That's support if CJ dot org, Support IFCJ

(13:30):
dot org. All right, now, the Democratic Park is field
with these types of scumbags. And if you think, by
the way, that this was something that just happened recently,
you're wrong. Former Senator Claire mccaskell recently declared on NBC
News this.

Speaker 7 (13:49):
A lot of people have tried to draw similarities between
Mussolini and Hitler and the use of the terminology like
vermin and the drive that those men had towards autocracy
and dictatorship. The difference, though, I think McDonald Trump even
more dangerous, and that is he has no philosophy he

(14:10):
believes in. He is not trying to expand the boundaries
in the.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
United States of America.

Speaker 7 (14:16):
He's not trying to overcome a neighboring country like Putin
is in Ukraine. He is not going for some grandiose
scheme of international dominance. All he wants is to look
in the mirror and see a guy who's president. All
he cares about is selfish self promotion. That's the only
philosophy he has, which makes him even more dangerous because

(14:38):
he has actually said out loud that it would be
okay to terminate the Constitution to keep him in power.
He said this, He actually said those words. And the
irony is all of these supposed conservative folks that have
populated the Republican Party all stood around and with their

(15:00):
I'm in their mouth doing it. Well, yeah, okay, I
guess so's It's.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Bizarre former Senator Clear mccaskell, paid analyst NBC News, says
that Trump is more dangerous than Hitler and Mussolini. You
tell that to radicals on the left, they'll believe you,
and they'll say, well, then we're justified in wanting to

(15:24):
climb up on a roof and take him out, because
the leaders of the party just said he is more
dangerous than Adolf Hitler, and Hitler deserved to die and
Mussolini and Mussolini deserve to die. So therefore, I'm going
to climb up on a roof. I'm going to put
him in the cross here. It's the same verbiage that
the president just used days before, and I'm going to

(15:46):
take out this person who is a threat to our country.
So if you want to know how we got here,
this is exactly how we got here. Let me also
talk about how unscary Orange man is.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Thank you to everyone for the thoughts and prayers yesterday,
as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening.
We will fear not, he says in all caps. We
will fear not, but instead remain resilient in our faith
and defiant in the face of wickedness. Our love goes
out to the other victims and their families. We pray

(16:28):
for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold
in our hearts the memory of the citizen.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Who was so horribly killed.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
In this moment, it is more important than ever that
we stand united and show our true character as Americans,
remaining strong and determined and not allowing evil to win.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
Trump then says, I truly love our country and.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Love you all, and look forward to speaking to our
great nation this week from Wisconsin. To understand that, Yeah,
Donald Trump was angry. I'm angry. I hope many of
you are angry. You should be angry. We witnessed a
public lynching yesterday of a man who is more than likely,

(17:18):
based on the poll, is going to be the next
president United States of America, and the left said we
got to take him out, and they tried, and only
by the grace of God, only by the grace of God,
did Donald Trump apparently turn his head at the very
last second to read something a statistic on the monitor,

(17:41):
and his life was spared because God clearly was watching
over him. I said this yesterday and I'll say it again.
I believe that Donald Trump is on earth for a reason.
I believe that the President of the United States of
America is an important job. I believe that God saved
his life for a reason. I think I know what

(18:02):
that reason is. I also want to talk about the evil,
because we focused a lot on this, but I also
think it's very important that we remember the family who
lost a loved one. The daughter of the man that
was killed put up a message on social media and said,

(18:23):
yesterday time stopped, and when it started again, my family
and I started living a real life nightmare. What was
supposed to be an exciting day that we had all
looked forward to, especially my dad in parentheses, turned to
the most traumatizing experience someone could imagine. I know the
media will cover this event, and I'm going to try

(18:44):
my best stay away from looking at everything, especially because
I've already seen and lived.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Through it in real time.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
But I want everyone to know what the media will
not cover and will not say about him, her dad.
He was the best dat a girl could have ever
asked for. My sister and I needed for anything, you call,
he would answer and he would do whatever it is
you needed. And if he didn't know how, he didn't
know how he would figure out how he could talk

(19:13):
and make friends with anyone, which was which he was
doing all day yesterday, and loved every minute of it.
He was a man of God, loved Jesus fiercely, and
also looked after our church and our members as family.
The media will not tell you that he died a
real life superhero. They are not going to tell you
how quickly he threw my mom and I to the ground.

(19:36):
They're not going to tell you that he shielded my
body from the bullet that came at us.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
He loved his family.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
He truly loved us enough to make a real to
take a real bullet for us. And I want nothing
more than to cry on him and tell him thank you.
I want nothing more than to wake up and for
this to not be the reality for me and my family.
We lost a selfless, loving husband, father, brother, uncle, son,

(20:09):
and friend and I will never stop thinking about him
and mourning over him until the.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
Day that I died too.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
July thirteenth will forever be a day that changed my life.
I will never be the same person I was less
than twenty four hours ago. There are a lot of
children out there that say their Dad is their hero.
My dad really is mine. I don't think I would
be here today without him.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Dad. I love you so much and.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
There aren't enough words to express how deep that love goes.
I know you'll give Heaven some hell. I know that
God is proud of the man that came to his
gates yesterday. Never forget that. Never forget that that man

(20:54):
lost his life shielding his wife and his daughter. God
bless that family, Bless them, Pray for them. President Joe Biden,
by the way, addressed the nation Sunday night. He addressed
the nation and he said some things that sounded great.
For example, he said this.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
The records and the issues in the agenda, the vision
for America. But in America, we resolve our difference at
the battle box.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
At the battle box.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
I think that was supposed to be ballot box, but
maybe he does think it's a battle box. Joe Biden
said this that we need to quote lower the temperature.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
I want to speak you tonight about the need for
us to lower the temperature in our politics and to remember,
or we may disagree, we are not enemies.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
We're neighbors.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
We're friends, coworkers, citizens, and most importantly were fellow Americans.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Lower the temperature, Joe. All right, let's go to Joe's
own tweets. Donald Trump and Maga Republicans are a threat
to the very soul of this country.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
Is that lowering the temperature?

Speaker 1 (22:03):
Because that's your words, Joe Biden, Donald Trump is the
greatest threat to our democracy? Is that lowering the damn temperature?
Joe Biden, Donald Trump is a genuine threat to this nation.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Is that lowering the temperature?

Speaker 1 (22:18):
Joe Biden referring to Trump, He's a threat to our freedom,
He's a threat to our democracy. He's literally a threat
to everything America stands for. You want to know why
a twenty year old killed decides to go out and
try to kill Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
Maybe it's because your temperature.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Has been running a little too high, Joe Biden, Donald
Trump's a threat to our democracy and we cannot let
him win. Well, if you're a crazy twenty year old,
maybe you think that means taking up arms and killing him.
I'm in Madison talking to the folks about what's as
take in this election.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Tune in.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
He'said at the end of that statement, Joe Biden. Trump
pos poses many threats to our country, civil rights. Voting
rights in America is standing in the world. But the
greatest threat he poses us to our democracy. If we
lose that, we lose everything. So when Joe Biden tells

(23:12):
you we ought to tone it down, just remember what
Joe Biden has said in his own words. And by
the way, you think he's gonna tell his own party, hey,
cool it a little bit. Let me also just say
this another side note. John Richard, a a good friend
of mine, put out a tweet that was absolutely perfect.
He said, quote, no riots, no looting, no destruction in

(23:33):
Pennsylvania or anywhere else today by Trump supporters. This is
the difference between the two sides. Reverse the situation. Tell
me what would be happening right now. I think we
all know there'd be writing, looting, burning, there would be
chaos in the in this country.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
But when you look at me and you tell.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
Me that this presence like, oh, we gotta, we gotta
calm things down. Really all right, let's go back to
the tape. Let's talk about let's.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Talk about Democrats. Who were they calling for the killing
of Donald Trump. You can decide.

Speaker 9 (24:14):
I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all
of the country, and maybe there will be people need.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
To start taking to the streets. This is a dictator.
You know.

Speaker 7 (24:23):
There needs to be unrest in the streets for as
all as there's unrest in our lives.

Speaker 9 (24:27):
Enemies of the state.

Speaker 5 (24:29):
Show me where it says that protests are supposed to
be polite and peaceful.

Speaker 7 (24:33):
Do something about your dad's immigrational practices effectless time they go.

Speaker 10 (24:39):
How do you resist the temptation to run up and
bring her neck?

Speaker 11 (24:42):
The biggest terror prep in this country is white men,
most of them radicalized up to the right.

Speaker 7 (24:49):
I thought you should have punished him in the face
and said, even if you lost, he insulted you.

Speaker 10 (24:52):
Why he's on the escalator and called Mexican's rapist emerged,
He said, well, what do you think I should have done?

Speaker 8 (24:56):
So?

Speaker 6 (24:56):
I think you should punsed him in the face.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
And then gotten out of the race.

Speaker 6 (24:58):
You would have been a hero.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
I'd like to punch him in the face.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
I said that we're in high school. I take you
behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
Punch some people in the face. When was the last
time an actor assassinated and the president?

Speaker 6 (25:11):
They're still going to have to go out and put
a bullet in Donald Trump. And that's a fact.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
Looks his character is stabbed to death. Where is John
Rope's booth when you need him?

Speaker 7 (25:27):
I have thought an awful lot about blowing up.

Speaker 8 (25:31):
The White House.

Speaker 7 (25:32):
A Missouri state senator is under investigation by the Secret
Service after saying she hopes President Trump is assassinated.

Speaker 4 (25:40):
I will go and take Trump out tonight. And if
you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant and
a deftment staff and a cassolet stasion, you get out
and you create a drive and you go back on
them and you fell.

Speaker 10 (25:58):
Them, know God.

Speaker 9 (26:01):
Anywhere, And sadly, the domestic enemies to our voting system
and are honoring our constitution all right right at sixteen
hundred Pennsylvania Avenue.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
They're not going to stop before election day in November,
and they're not going to stop.

Speaker 7 (26:15):
After election day.

Speaker 5 (26:16):
And that should be everyone should take note of that
on both levels, that this is they're not going to
let up, and they should not.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
Do you you don't say nothing yet.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
That's the Democratic Party, the elected officials in their own words.
So when Joe Biden walks out on TV and tells
me that, oh, we need to dial things down. Maybe
you should look at your own damn party. You want
to know what makes me so proud to be a conservative,
to be a Magas supporter, to be a Trump supporter.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
We're not burning anything down. We're chanting USA.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
We're praying for our president who narrowly survived an assassination
and was shot. We're sitting here saying we want to
trust our government after a secret Service historic failure that
was solely based around in competency, based on from the
leadership at the highest levels, based on what I can see.

(27:20):
I'm sick and tired of people telling me that what
I'm witnessing before my very eyes is not what's really happening.
A great example of that is exactly what I'm talking
about with our media, their headlines after they tried to
kill Trump. Quote Trump escorted away after loud noises at
PA rally. The Washington Post with a picture of blood
coming down Trump's face. ABC News Trump escored off stage

(27:43):
by Secret Service during rally after loud noises ring out
in crowd.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
They tried to murder him. They tried to assassinate him.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
NBC News Secret Service rush Trump off stage after popping noises.
Newsweek Maga responds without rage after Trump injured at rally, injured,
they tried to blow his head off, the most grotesque
one of all, though, I do have to say I
got to give you a word to CNN. CNN's headline
after it happened, with Trump's fist in the air, blood

(28:14):
on his face, secret service around him, secret service rushes
Trump off stage after he falls at rally. That was
the actual headline. I've seeing it, and somebody at CNN
still has a job. I wrote that headline because they
hate him so much they don't want to tell you
the truth that hey, we tried.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
To kill him.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
And then we sit there and we get a lecture
from Donald I mean from Joe Biden tonight about civility, like.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
With all due respect, Like, man, screw you.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
You want to talk about civility. I just played your party.
Why don't you talk to your own party. Why don't
you tell your party that maybe we should dial it down.
Maybe we should stop trying to imprison an innocent man.
Maybe we should stop raiding the home of a former

(29:06):
president United States of America. Maybe we should stop allowing
for the weaponization of our judicial system to try to
bankrupt and lock up Donald Trump. I don't know what
else to say. I really don't let me also play Jensaki.

(29:30):
Jensaki said this right after the assassination on Meet the
Press Sunday morning.

Speaker 11 (29:36):
That is the question, and Jen, in fact, we've already
seen the finger pointing begin, some people even blaming President Biden.
We heard that very forceful condemnation by President Biden of
what happened. As someone who used to work with the president,
what are you anticipating in terms of he's obviously pulled

(29:57):
his political ads forward. But as Carol said, the question
is how does this moment last? And how do you
think he sees his role right now?

Speaker 10 (30:04):
I mean, I think his role I'm betting that how
he responded was as a human being, which is how
we just saw Lindsey Graham at moments during that interview
and Senator Sanders and Senator Kuon's respond That's how everybody
should be responding. For anyone out there who has a
platform who thinks the moment right now is to be
political and attack the other party, you are feeding into
the danger. You are making it more likely there's retaliation.

(30:28):
I'm incredibly scared I'm scared for journalists. I'm scared for
people who have public platforms of all parties, and that's
how people should feel. So for President Biden, I mean
Senator Coons mentioned he was in church. He's somebody who's
very prayerful. He is somebody who attends church. I think
he probably is relying on that, and in this moment,
I think his instinct would be not to be political

(30:49):
and you just take it day by day.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
That's where he would be.

Speaker 10 (30:52):
I mean, he has a huge interview tomorrow, and the
moment there is not to talk about the political path forward.
It is to be a healer and to lower the
rhetoric and the tenor and the conversation in the country.

Speaker 11 (31:06):
It's just fascinating. Every conversation is going to be different,
including that interview.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
Jen Tomor, I mean, she's telling me that I should
be fearful. I'm scared for journalists. I'm scared for people
who have public jobs. Like what world are you living in?

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Jen?

Speaker 1 (31:21):
I mean, at least they're consistent with their rhetoric in
the media. Be afraid, be very afraid. But notice how
the media always makes about themselves, right, Oh, I'm afraid
for my safety.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
Screw Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
That's what NBC News just put out less than twenty
four hours after someone tried to kill Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Oh, if you're in the media, we should be the
ones that are afraid. We're the ones that should be scared.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
Make sure you share this podcast with your family and friends. Please,
because a lot of what I just played for you're
not gonna hear on the news.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
And I'll see you back here tomorrow.
