Speaker 1 (00:01):
Good morning, fellas. I think I got up with you
this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It was like really old dark thirties all my.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Way to crush the beat again for a couple of
days work. I would appreciate in nice shows that we're
keeping you wide awake, alert and the enthusi has for
my day. Have a good one, dragon, love you man.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Bye.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
What was that list of demands? Does he realize what
he's listening to? You must be new here, really it's
or is he? Is he drunk already and he thinks
we're going to like entertain and keep We're gonna be upbeat,
We're gonna be while.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
We're all what The only thing that we're going to
accomplish is keeping you awake. That's right, entertained, upbeat, happy, No,
not gonna happen, No not he We'll keep you awake.
The situation with Michael Brown will keep you you.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Awake, We'll keep you from dozing off. So I was
not going to do this story now, but apparently the
bald headed a hold back there. Sexual harassment can only
keep uh the ABC News at the top of the hour,
which I'm certain that all of you listened intently to
(01:18):
every single report isn't a fascinating dragon when you think
about it, that all we do is just rip apart
the cabal and then, for however many minutes, the audience
is subjected to the cabal. Isn't that kind of weird?
I just well, anyway, So I was going to talk
(01:38):
about I read a story last night, and you know,
I saw a commercial for I think it was like
not Rocket Mortgage, but something Rocket It's some app that
you can put on.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Your phone, Rocket Money, right, Yeah, that.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Was it, Rocket Money. Are you familiar with this?
Speaker 4 (01:58):
That's the one that tracks you're spending in you know,
if you're spending on subscription services, you don't use it.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
That's the one. That's the one because I subscribe because
obviously this multi billion dollar company is too cheap to
provide me well don't even get me started on a
clean studio, but to cheap provide me, you know, things
like subscriptions, you know, to all of the stuff that
I have to read. In fact, I think I might
(02:26):
be losing money on this little operation when I think
about it. So last night I'm reading through the Atlantic
magazine because they've done a hit piece and I didn't
I was going to talk about it today. But I
wasn't going to talk about it now, except that Dragon
pointed out that, oh, ABC News just talked about the
(02:48):
hit piece. So Dragon saved it, and I said, well,
I don't want to talk about it right now. This
is I have no gu you know, at home, I
have no control over my life. At work, I have
no control over my life. No wonder When I like
get in the car and it's just me and the car,
I feel so liberated, like I can do whatever I
(03:09):
want to do because it's the only time in my
life I can do whatever I want to do.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
That's why you drive one hundred and thirty seven miles
an hour, that's.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Right, hoping to find the bridge of Buttonman to just
end it all and just say boom, no no more,
no more surprises, no more bald headed ay holes, no
more just being told what to do all the time.
Wouldn't that be wonderful? All right?
Speaker 4 (03:30):
So here's the first fifteen seconds of the ABC All
we get is fifteen seconds. Well that's that's all they
talked about it, though, they but granted that the first
now three to four to five seconds was the ABC
introduction to ABC and the reporter than the blurb.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Do they use the term Hitler in the report? Let's
find out.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Okay, ABC News, I'm Sherry pressed in. Donald Trump's former
chief of staff and retire General John Kelly says, he's
pretty boss has no concept of the rule of law
or the constitution. Kelly telling the New York Times that
while on office, Trump would praise Nazi leader Adolf Hitler
Boeing announcing.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
That there you go, there you go.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
That's the story.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
And in fact, that's even better than I expected, because
that's not a cabal report on the Atlantic story. It's
a cabal report that the New York Times. Think about
how this works. It is so insidious. So the Atlantic
does a hit piece, The New York Times picks it up,
(04:34):
and of course the New York Times, like many newsrooms
that we're familiar with, uh, just find other places because
they don't really have reporters. So let's just report let's
just ABC News, let's just report them on the New
York Times set.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Well, it gives credibility if you say this source the
New York Times, this is the Atlantic, and this source
say that it happened, So it must have happened because
one is reporting off of the other, reporting out of
the other, reporting out of the other. So you've got
the chain of reports going.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Oh right, So if you're trying so if you're looking
to say if it's a true story or not, well
it must be true because it's ABC News and it's
the New York Times. Well you can stop right there
because that's all the truth.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
You need because they took it from the Atlanta which
nobody reads. You mean, how flimsy the news media is
out there, And maybe we were hammering it a little
too hard here, But you have one source, then all
the news networks pick up on it. So then you've
got eight other sources going, well, they're saying it happened,
(05:40):
so you must run with it.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
In fact, without without naming any names. And in the
in the radio industry in general, there really are no
longer reporters I think about now. It may be that
may not be true with like WABC in New York,
which is obviously ABC's, or WCBS or any of the
(06:08):
networks who have their own Fox Radio for example, probably
uses some of the Fox reporters. But you take any
of the other major markets and particularly small markets around
the country, there are no radio reporters. The news you
hear comes from other sources. There's no original reporting. It's
(06:34):
from For example, I could do news. I could probably
sit right here. I should we should try this someday, Dragon,
I've got two TV monitors on. I got CNN along looking.
They're talking about the exact CNN is doing exactly. So
now we got CNN Dragon, see right, uh And in fact,
(06:57):
let's see now now they've moved on to hairs taking
questions the town hall. My point being, a lot of
the news that you will hear as you travel around
the country on radio stations is really just from the
local television stations or the local newspaper because radio stations
just don't have reporters. In fact, I don't think we
(07:17):
have jettors either, or we don't have and we don't
have building maintenance people. You know. Rick Lewis and I
got on the elevator yesterday just to give you an example,
and I don't know, we were laughing about something about
Oh I know, it was that I got on first,
and so I pushed floor three and floor four four
(07:40):
lit up, but three didn't light up, and so I
punched it a couple more times. It wouldn't light up.
So what does Rick do?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Rick do?
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Rick? That's what everybody would do. Rick reached over after
I had pushed it three or four times, and it right, Michael, Michael,
you clared. You're just a dummy, You're just a stupid lawyure.
You don't have to do this. You know. I'm a
shock jock. I'm over here doing it. I'm doing the broncos,
so I know how to do this. So he punched
it three or four times, and then we start talking.
(08:09):
The door's open, and we both realize, oh, this isn't
the third floor, and we both comment on, well, at
least they got us to a floor, because oftentimes the elevators. Well,
you've heard about Ryan getting stuck. Back to the ABC
news story. So yesterday The Atlantic, yesterday afternoon, Jeffrey Goldberg
(08:32):
published an anonymously sourced hit piece that claimed that Trump
had spoken fondly of Adolf Hitler. Can we just stop
the Hitler stuff? Now? The story is truly just laughable propaganda.
It's absurd on its face. It's just another indication that
(08:52):
the cabal is continually destroying what's left of its own credibility,
of whatever's left if any and I think it's proof
too that Democrats are going to lose badly in two weeks.
I think this is an example of why my belief
that Trump's going to win is this Atlantic hit piece.
(09:16):
Now here's the too long didn't read the TLDR version
for those who can't stomach the thought of reading more
garbage from the cabal. Number one. Trump is depicted as
an angry, racist, bitter cheapskate who declared, quote, I need
the kind of generals that Hitler had, people who were
(09:40):
totally loyal to him, that follow orders. Now wait a minute,
not to say that Trump did or did not say that,
but don't you want generals that are loyal to you
(10:01):
and that do follow orders other than unlawful orders? But
we can just say that, we have to throw in
that he wanted the kind of generals that Hitler had.
So of course, any president wants staffers who are going
to be loyal. Now, what's your definition of loyal yes men?
(10:23):
I don't think Trump wants yes men. I think Trump
wants people who are willing to give him solid, good advice,
are willing to give him alternate points of view, But
who once the president makes the decision. Will carry out
that decisions. That's what I did. I argued with Bush
(10:44):
a lot of times. I've told you the story. I'm
not going to tell you the whole story again, but
remember I told you one time I was in the
beast with Bush and I saw it as an opportunity
to kind of go around the decision that's already made.
I got the like, don't you ever do that again?
(11:07):
Kind of Look, kid made the decision. He didn't want
he wasn't ready to be second guest. He wanted to Look. Look, Brownie,
I made the decision. I've solved that problem. Now just
go do it, okay, message delivered. You know, when the
President of the United States gives you the look, you
kind of sink down a little bit. Number Two, everybody,
(11:31):
everybody that commented publicly on the story and who was
said to be in the room with the president at
the time that that alleged statement has has said that
the story is entirely made up and that the President
never said those words. Now let me read you that
note again. Everyone who commented publicly on the story and
(11:53):
who was said to be in the room with Potus
at the time that he allegedly made the statement about
General like Hitler has said that the entire story is
made up and their president never said those words. Goldbird's
Goldberg's sources are anonymous, described as quote, this is from
(12:16):
the story. Two people who heard him say this.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
It's like the limo story, where it's a story from
some when Trump supposedly reached through the beast's tiny, tiny
window from his compartment to the driver's compartment so that
he could jerk the steering wheel back and forth because
he wanted to go to such and such place. So
this is a story about somebody who overheard a conversation
who wasn't even there.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah, I want you to picture. So the beast is.
The Beast is big, and you can actually, no, you
can't stand straight up in it, obviously, because it's a
it's a suv, it's a it's a limo. But there's
enough room that you could stand up and bend over
and reach over and get close enough that you might
(13:08):
get close to the steering wheel. But you got to have, like,
I don't know, an eight foot arm to actually grab
the steering wheel anyway. Goldberg's The Atlantic sources are anonymous,
described as two people who heard him say this. Now
(13:30):
you're going to read and hear. Obviously a lot of
hot takes on the piece itself, righteously stressing the utter
hackery of a Democrat operative publishing an October surprise made
up with a bunch of nonsense, to what helped Kamala Harris.
I think that's that's probably true. The good news for
(13:50):
the Trump campaign is that the Atlantic and its legacy
media allies, they just don't have this way they used to.
And in fact, I would add this as a footnote.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
He knows.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I couldn't recall whether they'd use the term Hitler or
not in the story. But of course ABC News citing
the New York Times citing you know, the Atlantic, had
to throw in the word hitler. Hitler's become like racist.
Everybody's hitler, everybody's racist, everybody's sexist, everybody's misogynists, everybody is
(14:28):
just whatever, everybody's everything anymore. Words have lost all their meaning.
They it just does not have the impact that it
used to have. Now, maybe a decade ago, maybe well
maybe not even maybe even longer than a decade ago,
a piece like this might have actually had some staying power.
(14:49):
It might have actually shocked some people. But fast forward
to this morning, this story because we now have so
many other places that can you know, go back and
talk to Oh, the Atlantic quotes some anonymous sources. Well,
(15:11):
I'm now a not me. I'm just saying, as an example,
I am a freelance journalist. Oh, I used to work
in the Trump White House or I know people that
used to. So I can pick up the phone and
I can say hey, I can say, hey, have you
read this Atlantic piece? No, Well, here's what it says
that you know, on such and such date that Trump
said he wanted generals like Keitler had. Oh, well, let
(15:34):
me call and find out. So that person calls and says, hey, Joe,
I know you were in the room on this date
when they were having this meeting. Did Trump say this? No,
So now we're finding out that these things simply are
just made up bull crap. And today, fast forward from
(15:55):
twenty years ago, when a story like this may have
had some staying power. Today it's widely marked by the
same people as nothing but deception, though although as we
already know, it will obviously be circulated among all the
Democrats to confirm their lunatic worldview. And now that's This
(16:17):
is what the inside the Beltway, this is what the
cabal among themselves will all be talking about. Hitler, Hitler, Hitler,
Trump Hitler, Trump's Hitler. But here's what bugs me. When
when when I think about the fact that you've got
Jeffrey Goldberg, who is now I know I'm not friends with,
(16:41):
but I know of Jeffrey Goldberg. But for a man
heralded as a seasoned and serious journalist, he's really committed
journalistic malpractice of the highest order. The story has a
big tell that destroys it's credibility. You know what that
(17:03):
tell is? There's always a.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
Tell Godwin's law of debate.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
The first person to use the term Nazi or Hitler
in a debate loses.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
And I yes, And I think in addition to that,
we've become so immune it's like we're just like, Okay, yeah, Trump, Hitler,
we got it. That's all you got. Show me, you know,
show me something new. The the big tell that destroys
(17:48):
the credibility of this article comes in the way that
the proud Obama sycophant uses anonymous sourcing. Because any RepA
style guide will tell you that Goldberg uses anonymous sources
in a fashion that should have rendered his piece ineligible
(18:09):
for even publication, and I think that speaks to the
demise of what of what many would consider credentialed and
polished brands. I've done interviews in The Atlantic magazine. I've
been to their offices in DC on numerous occasions, and
(18:30):
I've sat down in one case, did a very in
depth interview with Atlantic, and one of the things that
I found fascinating was as we were doing the interview,
they would ask me specifically for well, what's your source
for that? Or is there anybody that can corroborate your
(18:50):
version of those facts? Yet when some of that was published,
they never followed up. There's no way for I don't
think I just name a few Breitbart, The Blaze, National Review.
(19:15):
I don't think any of those publications or websites would
allow their current writers and reporters to publish anything like
what Goldberg's done. Now, I think there are two actual
legitimate reasons to use an anonymous source and a piece,
(19:36):
and that would be first, that the information has really
sensitive national security implications. Now you can use, I think
an anonymous source in that situation, at the same time
that you have to be very careful about what you
actually say that might have sensitive national security implications. You
(19:57):
can't just reveal state secrets. I think the other situation
is where the information, if it is linked to a
particular individual, might threaten their physical well being, in other words,
exposing a source. You know it. It's like, uh, you know,
(20:20):
Tim Ry are watching The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix or
whatever it's on, and right now they've they've got there
they're they're using or there, or they're trying to get
a DEA agent to testify, and they're having to use
other people, and they've got one anonymous source that they're
digging into to get a connection to the current case
(20:44):
they're using. But they're trying to protect that anonymous source
because if the if the if the transnational gangs, which
I thought Kamala Harris got rid of, were to find
out that that was going to be a source, they
would in fact, in this case, that he actually did
murder the witness. So I think in those situations, using
an anonymous source and explaining that you're doing it for
(21:06):
their physical well being might be justified. But every other reason,
any other reason, is really just bologneyan In the market
of a fake news story. Now, given that the Atlantic
article discusses an incident that occurred in twenty twenty during
(21:26):
the Trump administration, there's no security issue. What if it's
Mark Milly what or it's Mike Asper or whatever his
name was, any of any of Trump's former defense secretaries,
acting defense secretaries, former chiefs of staff that are no
(21:48):
longer involved. There's no safety issue here. There's no security issue.
There's no certain worry that, oh, we might unmask this individual.
So why do they use an anonymous source. It's a weapon,
it's a shield. But here's what you really need to
(22:09):
think about it. It's not just a weapon or a
shield for the sources. It's a weapon and a shield
for Goldberg himself as the reporter. Because we know they're
all anti Trump political operatives. We know the Atlantic magazine
is anti Trump. We know we know that Jeffrey Goldberg
is anti Trump. They've public endorsed Kamala Harris for president.
(22:32):
So this story, which I really didn't think was I mean,
I wanted to use it today, but I never thought
that ABC News would, you know, or for that matter,
the New York Times would pick it up. I know
that's Naiven my part Why because it involves Trump, the military,
(22:53):
and Hitler, and therefore Trump is Hitler. And if Trump
gets elected, why he's going to impose fascism or nationalist socialist,
you know, principles under this country. When I find that
to be such projection, because I think that's precidesly what
Kamala Harris would do. And I don't think. Don't get
(23:15):
me wrong, I don't think that Kamala Harris is Hitler.
But I do believe that Kamala Harris is a nationalist socialist.
And there's no doubt in my mind that she's a Marxist.
And I do believe that her policies and her beliefs,
her values that she says has not changed. I take
her at a word for that. I don't think her
values have changed whatsoever. And I think she's an unavoved
(23:38):
she is an absolute, self avowed Marxist. But here's another
thing about a story like this in The Atlantic. Jeffrey
Goldberg knows that he'll never be held accountable. In fact,
we are now witnessing I didn't think the story would
(24:02):
play out this way, but we're now witnessing Jeffrey Goldberg
is getting exactly what he in the Atlantic magazine Wanted
published a hit piece anonymous sources, nothing that ties anybody
to this, and the New York Times picks it up,
and ABC News picks it up. And now you hear
(24:24):
you heard at the top of the hour, you heard
the cabal talk about it. Because that subliminally puts in
people's minds of particularly low information voters. Oh yeah, I
got to vote against that Donald Trump because he's like Hitler.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
You know.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
I think even if somebody found out who delivered this
information to Goldberg, he'll just claim ignorance, having just merely
loundered their anonymous statement into his publication. Yeah, let me
emphasize this. If you're a Trump supporter, or even if
(25:05):
you're not a Trump supporter, but you're a Trump voter,
I'm not telling you this to worry you. This piece
reads and reeks of desperation. It's preposterous to think that
(25:28):
someone like Donald Trump, the most philosmitic president in American history,
has some kind of secret Hitler fascination. There is zero
evidence of that. The Democrats, I think, know that they're
getting smoked, and I think this article is not just
(25:48):
more evidence that all the momentum is with the former
president heading into election day two weeks from yesterday, and
I think also as we're going to get into the
common Harris campaign, I think the campaign is going so
poorly that they decided to give her the day off
yesterday so that she could prepare for that so called
(26:08):
air quote interview, and thinking that maybe the hide in
the basement strategy used by Biden might be more beneficial
to her chances. At this point, Bulberg's a fraud. The
Atlantic magazine in this case is a fraud. And I
do believe that Trump is going to win. What I
(26:32):
don't think this isn't October Surprise, but if this were
meant to be in October Surprise, it's not just weak,
it's like poof gone this story. I read this story
probably about I'm guessing around between three and four o'clock yesterday,
(26:55):
So here we are less than twenty four hours later.
ABC News picked it up. I did not watch the
network news last night, but my guess is that if
ABC Radio is carrying it today, that ABC News network
may have carried it last night and then poof, it's gone.
(27:16):
It won't be on the network news tonight. So the
October Surprise nothing and if this is all the Democrats
have in their arsenal at this stage of the game,
then they're cooked. They're really cooked. So when we get back,
let's start with the Kamala Harris again air quote interview
(27:40):
with NBC News vacuous. Yeah, her values haven't changed. And
you'll hear that.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Well, the idiots at ABC News are telling us that
Donald Trump is praising Hitler. I don't know who that's
up those newscasts, but they obviously know that they're screwed
as far as the election goes, don't they.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
I really do believe they are. You know, when when
when the cabal starts talking about how the race is tightening, Uh,
they're they're preparing themselves to save what little shred or
credibility they have. I mean it's like it's like I'm
gonna go Ahare and campaign for you, and I'm going
(28:29):
to do everything I can with with my bullhorn to
convince all of the people that listen. I mean, I
do the same thing, but I'm not a journalist. I
hope you don't turn into this, tune into this program
to hear a news report, because I don't. I don't
do news. I do current events, and culture and things
(28:51):
that that interest me. And yes, I try to convince
you about my way of thinking, my perspective, and sometimes
you agree, sometimes you don't, and that's fine. That's what
makes doing this so much fun. Kamala Harris decides that,
you know, I need to take a day off because
I've got to sit down and do an interview. Do
(29:15):
you how many times I get called to uh? I
mean at the last minute. Sometimes it happened last week
a Michael can, uh? Can can can you come on
News Nation? Can you? Can you come on Newsmax? Yeah? Yeah,
of course I can do that. What time? Well, can
you be ready in a couple hours? Sure? What are
you gonna talk about these three things? Okay, I'm not bragging,
(29:36):
but I'm not running for president. I'm not reading for president.
And you can throw almost any topic at me. I
can remember in junior high taking my first speech class
and oh my gosh, my buddies were just scared. Feithiless, Uh,
we're gonna do a class an extent or any of speaking.
We're gonna you're gonna draw a topic out of a hat,
(29:59):
and you're gonna stand up and give a two minute
speech about whatever that topic is I had friends that
would just rather die than do that. And I'm thinking, hmm, well,
this is this is fun. I was I was the
sick o kidd in class thinking give me, give me
the worst possible topic.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Now I'm one of the class clowns. And You're gonna
let me go up front and talk exactly.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Yeah, You're gonna let me talk about something I know
nothing about. Oh, this will be fun. Let's at two minutes.
What man doesn't dream of? Two minutes showing that I
(30:45):
haven't grown up since junior. High cost of living.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
I've been on the campaign trail. I hear that in
the field again and again. If you look at some
of the numbers on this, and our new NBC News
poll shows that more voters think that the Biden administration
policies have hurt them rather than help them. And I wonder,
are the last four years an obstacle to you in
this race?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
You know, the premise of the question was pretty damn good.
Voters are really upset about the cost of living, Voters
are upset about all of these things. But then instead
of saying, so, what do you say to voters about
how you're going to fix it? This little twit. Hallie
(31:27):
Jackson on NBC News gives her the answer, are the
past four years an obstacle for your campaign?
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Here's how I look at it. First of all, let
me be very clear. Mine will not be a continuation
of the Biden administration. I bring my own experiences, my
own ideas to it.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Okay, well, so what are those? What are they?
Speaker 3 (31:51):
And it has informed a number of my areas of focus,
most of which are on to your point, lowering costs.
I am traveling the country. I am very clear cost
of groceries still too high. The voters know what I
know it. So part of my plan includes what we
need to do to bring down the price of groceries,
including the work I will do dealing with price gouging.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
It.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Price gouging, yes, you know as your cost go up,
the cost of goods sold, as that continues to increase, well,
you're just a price gouger. Yeah, that's almost giving you
be like Hitler, Yeah, price gouging. Hitler racist And it's
all the same bull crap.
Good morning, fellas. I think I got up with you
this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It was like really old dark thirties all my.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Way to crush the beat again for a couple of
days work. I would appreciate in nice shows that we're
keeping you wide awake, alert and the enthusi has for
my day. Have a good one, dragon, love you man.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Bye.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
What was that list of demands? Does he realize what
he's listening to? You must be new here, really it's
or is he? Is he drunk already and he thinks
we're going to like entertain and keep We're gonna be upbeat,
We're gonna be while.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
We're all what The only thing that we're going to
accomplish is keeping you awake. That's right, entertained, upbeat, happy, No,
not gonna happen, No not he We'll keep you awake.
The situation with Michael Brown will keep you you.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Awake, We'll keep you from dozing off. So I was
not going to do this story now, but apparently the
bald headed a hold back there. Sexual harassment can only
keep uh the ABC News at the top of the hour,
which I'm certain that all of you listened intently to
(01:18):
every single report isn't a fascinating dragon when you think
about it, that all we do is just rip apart
the cabal and then, for however many minutes, the audience
is subjected to the cabal. Isn't that kind of weird?
I just well, anyway, So I was going to talk
(01:38):
about I read a story last night, and you know,
I saw a commercial for I think it was like
not Rocket Mortgage, but something Rocket It's some app that
you can put on.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Your phone, Rocket Money, right, Yeah, that.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Was it, Rocket Money. Are you familiar with this?
Speaker 4 (01:58):
That's the one that tracks you're spending in you know,
if you're spending on subscription services, you don't use it.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
That's the one. That's the one because I subscribe because
obviously this multi billion dollar company is too cheap to
provide me well don't even get me started on a
clean studio, but to cheap provide me, you know, things
like subscriptions, you know, to all of the stuff that
I have to read. In fact, I think I might
(02:26):
be losing money on this little operation when I think
about it. So last night I'm reading through the Atlantic
magazine because they've done a hit piece and I didn't
I was going to talk about it today. But I
wasn't going to talk about it now, except that Dragon
pointed out that, oh, ABC News just talked about the
(02:48):
hit piece. So Dragon saved it, and I said, well,
I don't want to talk about it right now. This
is I have no gu you know, at home, I
have no control over my life. At work, I have
no control over my life. No wonder When I like
get in the car and it's just me and the car,
I feel so liberated, like I can do whatever I
(03:09):
want to do because it's the only time in my
life I can do whatever I want to do.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
That's why you drive one hundred and thirty seven miles
an hour, that's.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Right, hoping to find the bridge of Buttonman to just
end it all and just say boom, no no more,
no more surprises, no more bald headed ay holes, no
more just being told what to do all the time.
Wouldn't that be wonderful? All right?
Speaker 4 (03:30):
So here's the first fifteen seconds of the ABC All
we get is fifteen seconds. Well that's that's all they
talked about it, though, they but granted that the first
now three to four to five seconds was the ABC
introduction to ABC and the reporter than the blurb.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Do they use the term Hitler in the report? Let's
find out.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Okay, ABC News, I'm Sherry pressed in. Donald Trump's former
chief of staff and retire General John Kelly says, he's
pretty boss has no concept of the rule of law
or the constitution. Kelly telling the New York Times that
while on office, Trump would praise Nazi leader Adolf Hitler
Boeing announcing.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
That there you go, there you go.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
That's the story.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
And in fact, that's even better than I expected, because
that's not a cabal report on the Atlantic story. It's
a cabal report that the New York Times. Think about
how this works. It is so insidious. So the Atlantic
does a hit piece, The New York Times picks it up,
(04:34):
and of course the New York Times, like many newsrooms
that we're familiar with, uh, just find other places because
they don't really have reporters. So let's just report let's
just ABC News, let's just report them on the New
York Times set.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Well, it gives credibility if you say this source the
New York Times, this is the Atlantic, and this source
say that it happened, So it must have happened because
one is reporting off of the other, reporting out of
the other, reporting out of the other. So you've got
the chain of reports going.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Oh right, So if you're trying so if you're looking
to say if it's a true story or not, well
it must be true because it's ABC News and it's
the New York Times. Well you can stop right there
because that's all the truth.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
You need because they took it from the Atlanta which
nobody reads. You mean, how flimsy the news media is
out there, And maybe we were hammering it a little
too hard here, But you have one source, then all
the news networks pick up on it. So then you've
got eight other sources going, well, they're saying it happened,
(05:40):
so you must run with it.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
In fact, without without naming any names. And in the
in the radio industry in general, there really are no
longer reporters I think about now. It may be that
may not be true with like WABC in New York,
which is obviously ABC's, or WCBS or any of the
(06:08):
networks who have their own Fox Radio for example, probably
uses some of the Fox reporters. But you take any
of the other major markets and particularly small markets around
the country, there are no radio reporters. The news you
hear comes from other sources. There's no original reporting. It's
(06:34):
from For example, I could do news. I could probably
sit right here. I should we should try this someday, Dragon,
I've got two TV monitors on. I got CNN along looking.
They're talking about the exact CNN is doing exactly. So
now we got CNN Dragon, see right, uh And in fact,
(06:57):
let's see now now they've moved on to hairs taking
questions the town hall. My point being, a lot of
the news that you will hear as you travel around
the country on radio stations is really just from the
local television stations or the local newspaper because radio stations
just don't have reporters. In fact, I don't think we
(07:17):
have jettors either, or we don't have and we don't
have building maintenance people. You know. Rick Lewis and I
got on the elevator yesterday just to give you an example,
and I don't know, we were laughing about something about
Oh I know, it was that I got on first,
and so I pushed floor three and floor four four
(07:40):
lit up, but three didn't light up, and so I
punched it a couple more times. It wouldn't light up.
So what does Rick do?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Rick do?
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Rick? That's what everybody would do. Rick reached over after
I had pushed it three or four times, and it right, Michael, Michael,
you clared. You're just a dummy, You're just a stupid lawyure.
You don't have to do this. You know. I'm a
shock jock. I'm over here doing it. I'm doing the broncos,
so I know how to do this. So he punched
it three or four times, and then we start talking.
(08:09):
The door's open, and we both realize, oh, this isn't
the third floor, and we both comment on, well, at
least they got us to a floor, because oftentimes the elevators. Well,
you've heard about Ryan getting stuck. Back to the ABC
news story. So yesterday The Atlantic, yesterday afternoon, Jeffrey Goldberg
(08:32):
published an anonymously sourced hit piece that claimed that Trump
had spoken fondly of Adolf Hitler. Can we just stop
the Hitler stuff? Now? The story is truly just laughable propaganda.
It's absurd on its face. It's just another indication that
(08:52):
the cabal is continually destroying what's left of its own credibility,
of whatever's left if any and I think it's proof
too that Democrats are going to lose badly in two weeks.
I think this is an example of why my belief
that Trump's going to win is this Atlantic hit piece.
(09:16):
Now here's the too long didn't read the TLDR version
for those who can't stomach the thought of reading more
garbage from the cabal. Number one. Trump is depicted as
an angry, racist, bitter cheapskate who declared, quote, I need
the kind of generals that Hitler had, people who were
(09:40):
totally loyal to him, that follow orders. Now wait a minute,
not to say that Trump did or did not say that,
but don't you want generals that are loyal to you
(10:01):
and that do follow orders other than unlawful orders? But
we can just say that, we have to throw in
that he wanted the kind of generals that Hitler had.
So of course, any president wants staffers who are going
to be loyal. Now, what's your definition of loyal yes men?
(10:23):
I don't think Trump wants yes men. I think Trump
wants people who are willing to give him solid, good advice,
are willing to give him alternate points of view, But
who once the president makes the decision. Will carry out
that decisions. That's what I did. I argued with Bush
(10:44):
a lot of times. I've told you the story. I'm
not going to tell you the whole story again, but
remember I told you one time I was in the
beast with Bush and I saw it as an opportunity
to kind of go around the decision that's already made.
I got the like, don't you ever do that again?
(11:07):
Kind of Look, kid made the decision. He didn't want
he wasn't ready to be second guest. He wanted to Look. Look, Brownie,
I made the decision. I've solved that problem. Now just
go do it, okay, message delivered. You know, when the
President of the United States gives you the look, you
kind of sink down a little bit. Number Two, everybody,
(11:31):
everybody that commented publicly on the story and who was
said to be in the room with the president at
the time that that alleged statement has has said that
the story is entirely made up and that the President
never said those words. Now let me read you that
note again. Everyone who commented publicly on the story and
(11:53):
who was said to be in the room with Potus
at the time that he allegedly made the statement about
General like Hitler has said that the entire story is
made up and their president never said those words. Goldbird's
Goldberg's sources are anonymous, described as quote, this is from
(12:16):
the story. Two people who heard him say this.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
It's like the limo story, where it's a story from
some when Trump supposedly reached through the beast's tiny, tiny
window from his compartment to the driver's compartment so that
he could jerk the steering wheel back and forth because
he wanted to go to such and such place. So
this is a story about somebody who overheard a conversation
who wasn't even there.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah, I want you to picture. So the beast is.
The Beast is big, and you can actually, no, you
can't stand straight up in it, obviously, because it's a
it's a suv, it's a it's a limo. But there's
enough room that you could stand up and bend over
and reach over and get close enough that you might
(13:08):
get close to the steering wheel. But you got to have, like,
I don't know, an eight foot arm to actually grab
the steering wheel anyway. Goldberg's The Atlantic sources are anonymous,
described as two people who heard him say this. Now
(13:30):
you're going to read and hear. Obviously a lot of
hot takes on the piece itself, righteously stressing the utter
hackery of a Democrat operative publishing an October surprise made
up with a bunch of nonsense, to what helped Kamala Harris.
I think that's that's probably true. The good news for
(13:50):
the Trump campaign is that the Atlantic and its legacy
media allies, they just don't have this way they used to.
And in fact, I would add this as a footnote.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
He knows.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I couldn't recall whether they'd use the term Hitler or
not in the story. But of course ABC News citing
the New York Times citing you know, the Atlantic, had
to throw in the word hitler. Hitler's become like racist.
Everybody's hitler, everybody's racist, everybody's sexist, everybody's misogynists, everybody is
(14:28):
just whatever, everybody's everything anymore. Words have lost all their meaning.
They it just does not have the impact that it
used to have. Now, maybe a decade ago, maybe well
maybe not even maybe even longer than a decade ago,
a piece like this might have actually had some staying power.
(14:49):
It might have actually shocked some people. But fast forward
to this morning, this story because we now have so
many other places that can you know, go back and
talk to Oh, the Atlantic quotes some anonymous sources. Well,
(15:11):
I'm now a not me. I'm just saying, as an example,
I am a freelance journalist. Oh, I used to work
in the Trump White House or I know people that
used to. So I can pick up the phone and
I can say hey, I can say, hey, have you
read this Atlantic piece? No, Well, here's what it says
that you know, on such and such date that Trump
said he wanted generals like Keitler had. Oh, well, let
(15:34):
me call and find out. So that person calls and says, hey, Joe,
I know you were in the room on this date
when they were having this meeting. Did Trump say this? No,
So now we're finding out that these things simply are
just made up bull crap. And today, fast forward from
(15:55):
twenty years ago, when a story like this may have
had some staying power. Today it's widely marked by the
same people as nothing but deception, though although as we
already know, it will obviously be circulated among all the
Democrats to confirm their lunatic worldview. And now that's This
(16:17):
is what the inside the Beltway, this is what the
cabal among themselves will all be talking about. Hitler, Hitler, Hitler,
Trump Hitler, Trump's Hitler. But here's what bugs me. When
when when I think about the fact that you've got
Jeffrey Goldberg, who is now I know I'm not friends with,
(16:41):
but I know of Jeffrey Goldberg. But for a man
heralded as a seasoned and serious journalist, he's really committed
journalistic malpractice of the highest order. The story has a
big tell that destroys it's credibility. You know what that
(17:03):
tell is? There's always a.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
Tell Godwin's law of debate.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
The first person to use the term Nazi or Hitler
in a debate loses.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
And I yes, And I think in addition to that,
we've become so immune it's like we're just like, Okay, yeah, Trump, Hitler,
we got it. That's all you got. Show me, you know,
show me something new. The the big tell that destroys
(17:48):
the credibility of this article comes in the way that
the proud Obama sycophant uses anonymous sourcing. Because any RepA
style guide will tell you that Goldberg uses anonymous sources
in a fashion that should have rendered his piece ineligible
(18:09):
for even publication, and I think that speaks to the
demise of what of what many would consider credentialed and
polished brands. I've done interviews in The Atlantic magazine. I've
been to their offices in DC on numerous occasions, and
(18:30):
I've sat down in one case, did a very in
depth interview with Atlantic, and one of the things that
I found fascinating was as we were doing the interview,
they would ask me specifically for well, what's your source
for that? Or is there anybody that can corroborate your
(18:50):
version of those facts? Yet when some of that was published,
they never followed up. There's no way for I don't
think I just name a few Breitbart, The Blaze, National Review.
(19:15):
I don't think any of those publications or websites would
allow their current writers and reporters to publish anything like
what Goldberg's done. Now, I think there are two actual
legitimate reasons to use an anonymous source and a piece,
(19:36):
and that would be first, that the information has really
sensitive national security implications. Now you can use, I think
an anonymous source in that situation, at the same time
that you have to be very careful about what you
actually say that might have sensitive national security implications. You
(19:57):
can't just reveal state secrets. I think the other situation
is where the information, if it is linked to a
particular individual, might threaten their physical well being, in other words,
exposing a source. You know it. It's like, uh, you know,
(20:20):
Tim Ry are watching The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix or
whatever it's on, and right now they've they've got there
they're they're using or there, or they're trying to get
a DEA agent to testify, and they're having to use
other people, and they've got one anonymous source that they're
digging into to get a connection to the current case
(20:44):
they're using. But they're trying to protect that anonymous source
because if the if the if the transnational gangs, which
I thought Kamala Harris got rid of, were to find
out that that was going to be a source, they
would in fact, in this case, that he actually did
murder the witness. So I think in those situations, using
an anonymous source and explaining that you're doing it for
(21:06):
their physical well being might be justified. But every other reason,
any other reason, is really just bologneyan In the market
of a fake news story. Now, given that the Atlantic
article discusses an incident that occurred in twenty twenty during
(21:26):
the Trump administration, there's no security issue. What if it's
Mark Milly what or it's Mike Asper or whatever his
name was, any of any of Trump's former defense secretaries,
acting defense secretaries, former chiefs of staff that are no
(21:48):
longer involved. There's no safety issue here. There's no security issue.
There's no certain worry that, oh, we might unmask this individual.
So why do they use an anonymous source. It's a weapon,
it's a shield. But here's what you really need to
(22:09):
think about it. It's not just a weapon or a
shield for the sources. It's a weapon and a shield
for Goldberg himself as the reporter. Because we know they're
all anti Trump political operatives. We know the Atlantic magazine
is anti Trump. We know we know that Jeffrey Goldberg
is anti Trump. They've public endorsed Kamala Harris for president.
(22:32):
So this story, which I really didn't think was I mean,
I wanted to use it today, but I never thought
that ABC News would, you know, or for that matter,
the New York Times would pick it up. I know
that's Naiven my part Why because it involves Trump, the military,
(22:53):
and Hitler, and therefore Trump is Hitler. And if Trump
gets elected, why he's going to impose fascism or nationalist socialist,
you know, principles under this country. When I find that
to be such projection, because I think that's precidesly what
Kamala Harris would do. And I don't think. Don't get
(23:15):
me wrong, I don't think that Kamala Harris is Hitler.
But I do believe that Kamala Harris is a nationalist socialist.
And there's no doubt in my mind that she's a Marxist.
And I do believe that her policies and her beliefs,
her values that she says has not changed. I take
her at a word for that. I don't think her
values have changed whatsoever. And I think she's an unavoved
(23:38):
she is an absolute, self avowed Marxist. But here's another
thing about a story like this in The Atlantic. Jeffrey
Goldberg knows that he'll never be held accountable. In fact,
we are now witnessing I didn't think the story would
(24:02):
play out this way, but we're now witnessing Jeffrey Goldberg
is getting exactly what he in the Atlantic magazine Wanted
published a hit piece anonymous sources, nothing that ties anybody
to this, and the New York Times picks it up,
and ABC News picks it up. And now you hear
(24:24):
you heard at the top of the hour, you heard
the cabal talk about it. Because that subliminally puts in
people's minds of particularly low information voters. Oh yeah, I
got to vote against that Donald Trump because he's like Hitler.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
You know.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
I think even if somebody found out who delivered this
information to Goldberg, he'll just claim ignorance, having just merely
loundered their anonymous statement into his publication. Yeah, let me
emphasize this. If you're a Trump supporter, or even if
(25:05):
you're not a Trump supporter, but you're a Trump voter,
I'm not telling you this to worry you. This piece
reads and reeks of desperation. It's preposterous to think that
(25:28):
someone like Donald Trump, the most philosmitic president in American history,
has some kind of secret Hitler fascination. There is zero
evidence of that. The Democrats, I think, know that they're
getting smoked, and I think this article is not just
(25:48):
more evidence that all the momentum is with the former
president heading into election day two weeks from yesterday, and
I think also as we're going to get into the
common Harris campaign, I think the campaign is going so
poorly that they decided to give her the day off
yesterday so that she could prepare for that so called
(26:08):
air quote interview, and thinking that maybe the hide in
the basement strategy used by Biden might be more beneficial
to her chances. At this point, Bulberg's a fraud. The
Atlantic magazine in this case is a fraud. And I
do believe that Trump is going to win. What I
(26:32):
don't think this isn't October Surprise, but if this were
meant to be in October Surprise, it's not just weak,
it's like poof gone this story. I read this story
probably about I'm guessing around between three and four o'clock yesterday,
(26:55):
So here we are less than twenty four hours later.
ABC News picked it up. I did not watch the
network news last night, but my guess is that if
ABC Radio is carrying it today, that ABC News network
may have carried it last night and then poof, it's gone.
(27:16):
It won't be on the network news tonight. So the
October Surprise nothing and if this is all the Democrats
have in their arsenal at this stage of the game,
then they're cooked. They're really cooked. So when we get back,
let's start with the Kamala Harris again air quote interview
(27:40):
with NBC News vacuous. Yeah, her values haven't changed. And
you'll hear that.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Well, the idiots at ABC News are telling us that
Donald Trump is praising Hitler. I don't know who that's
up those newscasts, but they obviously know that they're screwed
as far as the election goes, don't they.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
I really do believe they are. You know, when when
when the cabal starts talking about how the race is tightening, Uh,
they're they're preparing themselves to save what little shred or
credibility they have. I mean it's like it's like I'm
gonna go Ahare and campaign for you, and I'm going
(28:29):
to do everything I can with with my bullhorn to
convince all of the people that listen. I mean, I
do the same thing, but I'm not a journalist. I
hope you don't turn into this, tune into this program
to hear a news report, because I don't. I don't
do news. I do current events, and culture and things
(28:51):
that that interest me. And yes, I try to convince
you about my way of thinking, my perspective, and sometimes
you agree, sometimes you don't, and that's fine. That's what
makes doing this so much fun. Kamala Harris decides that,
you know, I need to take a day off because
I've got to sit down and do an interview. Do
(29:15):
you how many times I get called to uh? I
mean at the last minute. Sometimes it happened last week
a Michael can, uh? Can can can you come on
News Nation? Can you? Can you come on Newsmax? Yeah? Yeah,
of course I can do that. What time? Well, can
you be ready in a couple hours? Sure? What are
you gonna talk about these three things? Okay, I'm not bragging,
(29:36):
but I'm not running for president. I'm not reading for president.
And you can throw almost any topic at me. I
can remember in junior high taking my first speech class
and oh my gosh, my buddies were just scared. Feithiless, Uh,
we're gonna do a class an extent or any of speaking.
We're gonna you're gonna draw a topic out of a hat,
(29:59):
and you're gonna stand up and give a two minute
speech about whatever that topic is I had friends that
would just rather die than do that. And I'm thinking, hmm, well,
this is this is fun. I was I was the
sick o kidd in class thinking give me, give me
the worst possible topic.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Now I'm one of the class clowns. And You're gonna
let me go up front and talk exactly.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Yeah, You're gonna let me talk about something I know
nothing about. Oh, this will be fun. Let's at two minutes.
What man doesn't dream of? Two minutes showing that I
(30:45):
haven't grown up since junior. High cost of living.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
I've been on the campaign trail. I hear that in
the field again and again. If you look at some
of the numbers on this, and our new NBC News
poll shows that more voters think that the Biden administration
policies have hurt them rather than help them. And I wonder,
are the last four years an obstacle to you in
this race?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
You know, the premise of the question was pretty damn good.
Voters are really upset about the cost of living, Voters
are upset about all of these things. But then instead
of saying, so, what do you say to voters about
how you're going to fix it? This little twit. Hallie
(31:27):
Jackson on NBC News gives her the answer, are the
past four years an obstacle for your campaign?
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Here's how I look at it. First of all, let
me be very clear. Mine will not be a continuation
of the Biden administration. I bring my own experiences, my
own ideas to it.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Okay, well, so what are those? What are they?
Speaker 3 (31:51):
And it has informed a number of my areas of focus,
most of which are on to your point, lowering costs.
I am traveling the country. I am very clear cost
of groceries still too high. The voters know what I
know it. So part of my plan includes what we
need to do to bring down the price of groceries,
including the work I will do dealing with price gouging.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
It.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Price gouging, yes, you know as your cost go up,
the cost of goods sold, as that continues to increase, well,
you're just a price gouger. Yeah, that's almost giving you
be like Hitler, Yeah, price gouging. Hitler racist And it's
all the same bull crap.
