Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hammer and Nigel Do you believe these characters are weirdos?
So Hammer, I guess Jay Tapper used to be some
sort of respected anchorman slash journalist. That's the nn that
he's just. He's he's just as bad, if not worse
than everybody else, right.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
But his smug level comes off as he's better than you.
Oh dear, he's better than you, even though he's more
full of crap than most people. So why are we
talking about Jake Tapper?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
January sixth, pipe bomber. First of all, they've just arrested him.
Joe Biden's administration had been sitting on this information and
this evidence forever. They had all the stuff to arrest
this guy, they just never acted. Attorney General Pambondi even
said like all this evidence was collecting dust under the
(00:56):
Biden administration, and so, to be fair, so was Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
He's laying down there on the floor somewhere, is collecting dust.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Like they had all, you know, all his purchases, all
this guy's cell phone records. You know, I would like
to see you go into a true value by in
caps and batteries and connectors and pipes, And they.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Had all that on record, and they had all They
had his video.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
And he's masking the guy at the front desk. Where's
the pipe bomb section?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Right?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Oh, Aisle six, thank you. They had all all the stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
But Jake Tapper identified the J six pipe bomber suspect
as a thirty year old white man. Please roll the tape.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Bryan Cole Junior, a thirty year old white man from
the DC Suburbs, is charts with transporting an explosive device
in interstate commerce and with malicious destruction by means of explosions.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Narrator, The pipe bomber is black, not even close of
being white. He's not mixed. No, he's not light skin.
Question is a white guy?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Like If you put a side by side of pipe
Bomber and former NBA player Region Rondo, they look identical.
Man like this dude's got the big forehead, the big neck.
He looks like Region Rondo. That's why I thought it was.
When I first saw the picture on the screen, I thought, Oh,
was he making a comeback.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Play the Jake Tapper thing again?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Very beginning.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Ryan Cole Jr. A thirty year old white man from
the DC Suburbs.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
As as he's saying this, I there's a picture of
the black guy on the screen as he's talking about
the story. What are you doing? So who's writing for you?
Who is I don't believe necessarily that narrative matters here.
(02:57):
But but then there is a rush to judge sometimes
with these people.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
And this isn't the first time this has happened at CNN. No,
remember when that New York City shooter was going around.
I think it was Aaron Burnett called this guy and
again they put his picture on the screen nowhere near
a white guy, possibly white.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Male, possibly white mustache, sunglasses in that building, isolated to
they believe to various locations, including upper floors.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Okay, so Nige, as a professional broadcaster, as somebody who
has to talk about sometimes breaking news, you do things
on the fly. Is this an innocent mistake or is
there something more to this because it happens a lot
at CNN.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah, there's precedent. I mean, like, just you know what
enters my mind here. A couple of years ago, the Israelis,
CNN reported the Israelis destroyed a Godsen hospital, killed five
hundred people. They didn't even wait for the sun to
come up. That hospital was still standing, nobody had been killed. Okay,
(04:07):
truth doesn't matter, it's narrative. I don't believe Jake Tapper.
If he would have known this guy was a black
guy instead of a white guy, he would have said white.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
But he's just Ron Burgundy. He'll read whatever you write
right in front.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Of him exactly. And there might be something deeper going
on here. I don't know, because, look, mistakes happen.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
You can misspeak, and I get that we've done that,
hell probably eighteen times an hour. But this is a
pretty big mistake that CNN habitually makes
