Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is a miracle.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
There is no question that there are problems in this
country between police and community. Yes, you are a donkey
to the latest on that police killing of a black man.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Now the new developments in the death Leae spatshooting rampage
man yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
It was a really bad day for him and this
is what he did. And so we are in a
state of emergency.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Okay, White supremacist violence, it has always have been the
number one threat to our society. But I'm also very
proud that my wife was white.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
The practice club bitches suris running.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Please tell me why was I your Donkey of the day, Well,
Tommy Lauren Donkey of the Day from Monday, July fifteenth
goes to the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives,
Mike Johnson, as well as United States Senator from Ohio JD.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Vans.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
First and foremost, before we continue, let me state the
obvious and say, regardless of what you feel about a
person's politics.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Violence is never the answer. It's that simple.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
If you don't like a candidate or an elected official,
you should atempt to take them out with your votes,
not violence. If you think otherwise, If you think violence
is indeed the answer. Just do a simple exercise and
ask yourself if this was a candidate or elected official
that you actually voted for and supported, and they got
shot at someone attempted to take their life, what would
your reaction to that be. When we discuss what happened
(01:20):
to Donald Trump, I believe that discussion, like most discussions
in America, is multi layered. But first and foremost, we
should talk about the issue of political violence, and we
should denounce it and state quite plainly that we have
no place for it in America period. And I'm not
saying that to be politically correct. I'm saying that because
that's how I truly feel. Now back to the donkeys
at hand. Mike Johnson and sented a JD. Advance from Ohio. First,
(01:44):
let me read this tweet that JD Vance posted on
Saturday at eight twenty pm, just a couple of hours
after the assassination attempt for Trump occurred. He posted today
is not just some isolated incident. The central premise of
the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump isn't the
or terrrian fascist who must be stopped at all costs.
That rhetoric led directly to President Trump's attempted assassination.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
In quote speaker at a house.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Mike Johnson was on NBC's Today Show on Sunday morning,
and he said this in regards to the Trump shooting.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Everyone needs to turn the rhetoric down.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Let's listen as America awakens to a rather surreal morning.
This is a horrific act of political violence that ought
to be roundly condemned. Obviously, we can't go on like
this as a society. We've got to turn the rhetoric down.
We've got to turn the temperature down in this country.
We need leaders of all parties on both sides to
call that out and make sure that happens so that
(02:37):
we can go forward and maintain our free society that
we all are blessed to have.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Now, I've been observing and just listening all weekend.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
You know, I'm not a person who rushes dispilled the
first thing that comes to mind on social media. I've
just been taking it all in, and I want to
say to Mike Johnson and jd Evans that you can't
honestly have a conversation about dangerous rhetoric that leads the
political violence without discussing the dangers rhetoric that has come
out of President Donald Trump's mouth and his social media.
Mike Johnson said, everyone needs to turn the rhetoric down.
(03:07):
The question I would ask Mike Johnson is who is
everyone for him and JD Vance to make comments like
that and not acknowledge the countless times Donald Trump has
said things that have led to violence or could lead
the violence. It's disingenuous and it's them playing campaign games.
It's them politicizing this situation because of course it is
a presidential election year. They, like many politicians, Republicans and Democrats,
(03:27):
are using this as an opportunity to score points on
the opposition. Real leaders would be using this as an
opportunity to actually bring people together. Instead, you both are
causing more division. You are causing more people, in this
case Democrats to be targets. Once again, you cannot make
any statements about dangerous rhetoric that leads the political violence
and division without acknowledging the words that have come from
(03:50):
Donald Trump's mouth and his social media. There has been
a real un serious attitude in regards the political violence
in this country. When a nut ass follow up of
Donald Trump came to Nancy Pelosi's house and attacked her
with a hammer.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Trump made fun of it.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
And we'll stand up the crazy Nancy Pelosi who ruined
San Francisco. How's her husband doing? By the way, anybody now?
And she's against building a wall on our border, even
though she has a wall around her house, which obviously
didn't do a very good job.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Remember when Trump posted pictures of Biden looking like he's
bound and hog tied on his social media. Donald Trump,
in an attempt to overthrow the results of the twenty
twenty election, told his followers to fight, and that led
to an attempt to cool his country, and some of
his followers did bring guns and ammunition to DC for
that purpose.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
They did storm the capitol. They were chanting to hang Mike.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Pince because he wouldn't alter the election results. That happened,
and it happened because of Donald Trump. I'm not even
gonna go down in the rabbit hole. How many times
Donald Trump is incited political violence or co signed political violence,
are suggested political violence? I'll give you couple that come
to mind. You remember when the now governor of Montana
I believe it was Montana, he was running for Congress
and he body slammed the reporter and got charged with assault,
(05:08):
and Donald Trump said he is my type. Is that
not encouraging violence? You remember when Donald Trump suggested that,
you know, Second Amendment advocates assassinate Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish the Second Amendment, by
the way, and if she gets to pick, if she
gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks.
Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is I don't know, but.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Come on, so, Mike Johnson and JD Vance, please don't
act like Donald Trump is not solely responsible for creating
this environment of political violence, that he's not even safe.
From about twelve days ago, Kevin Roberts, the president of
the pro Trump think tank the Heritage Foundation, said this.
Speaker 7 (05:51):
In spite of all this nonsense from the left, we
are going to win. We're in the process of taking
this country back, and we are in the process of
the Second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the
left allows it to be.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
It will be bloodless if the left allows it to be.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Mike Johnson and JD Vance, could that kind of rhetoric
lead to political violence?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
If somebody was at.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Home right reading Project twenty twenty five, which is put
together by the Heritage Foundation, and heard Mike Johnson say
that don't you think that could lead to some type
of political violence.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Why aren't you denouncing all that type of rhetoric?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Okay, then and now, how could you in this moment
immediately point the finger to Democrats? And how come more
to media hasn't been saying this all weekend? I understand
sadly there was an assassination attempt on the former president
when in a moment like this, we can't worry about,
you know, striking the right tone.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
We have to worry about telling the truth. Now, Mike
Johnson and JD.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Vance both say that Donald Trump has been vilified, and
you know, calling him a threat to democracy was one
of the things that led to this. I saw Mike
Johnson again on Anderson Cooper, and Anderson rightfully pointed out
that Trump has said that about Joe Biden as well.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Let's listen, it's an objective truth that Donald Trump is
probably the most persecuted and attacked political figure in history,
certainly among presidents, maybe at least since Abraham Lincoln Civil
War era. And that takes a toll. I mean when
my colleagues go out Democrat colleagues and say democracy will end,
the Republic will be in an emergency stage if Donald
(07:18):
Trump wins for president. It's just not true. It's another election.
And when they say that kind of rhetoric and they
heat it up like that, there are people out there
that take these things to heart and they act upon them.
Politicians are not responsible for that, but we do have
a responsibility to be responsible.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I do want to point out the former president himself
has also used that kind of rhetoric. He said on
June twenty seventh, Joe Biden is a threat to democracy,
a threat to the survival in existence of our country itself.
That's certainly the same kind of language.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
You're talking about.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Listen, everybody is prone to overstatement. Okay, I mean a
few days ago, earlier this week, I mean, Joe Biden
actually said we need to put Donald Trump in the bullside.
I mean right. I don't think either of those men
meant to imply anything beyond just rhetoric. But the point
is the rhetoric has consequences.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Once again, you cannot talk about rhetoric without talking about
the things that Donald Trump has pewed out of his
mouth and on social media, people like myself and others
called Donald Trump a threat to democracy because he has
done things that have threatened democracy.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I could argue that.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
In regard to the three judges he put on the
Supreme Court, democracy has done, but you all won't realize
that until November when the presidential election comes. But I'll
get back to that for all you people who may
think saying Donald Trump is the threat to democracy is
just noise. Well, when someone says we should terminate the
constitution to overthrow the results of an election, that's a
threat to democracy.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
When someone tells people.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
To fight and they stormed the Capitol to overthrow the
results of an election, that's a threat to democracy. Trump
put three judges on the now illegitimate corrupt institution that
is the Supreme Court, and they are absolutely threatening our democracy.
They granted him presidential immunity for crimes because he asked.
That has nothing to do with the Constitution. Look up,
it's the Chevron ruling the Supreme Court dead. The Supreme
(09:02):
Court did. It's basically saying they can make up stuff
based on their own interpretations. That's one of the biggest
f us to the Constitution. I've ever witnessed, there are
abolishing constitutional rights like Roe v.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Wade.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
They made it to where elected officials can take bribes.
Donald Trump and Republicans have put together a corrupt Supreme
Court that literally doesn't have to care what voters want.
They have set up a system where either Republicans win
elections or elections do not matter. Is that not a
threat to democracy? Wait until November now? Personally, I don't
believe Biden can beat Trump, especially after Saturday. But if
(09:32):
he does, when Donald Trump contests the results of the election,
because he will if he loses. In light of all
the Supreme Court's recent rulings, do we really believe they
aren't gonna side with him? Is that when some will
finally believe he is the threat to democracy? Are we
going to just believe him when he says the election
was rigged? Only difference is this time when he says
the election is rigged, the Supreme Court is going to
(09:54):
side with him, and it will be a coup by court.
And of course it will be people in this country
who will believe him if loses and says the election
is rigged because people believe what they want. That's why
some folks want to believe his attempted assassination was staged.
Nobody believes the truth in this country anymore, and that
is another problem in America. Depending on what side you
(10:15):
stand on, that's what you believe. Nobody thinks anything is
real unless it confirms what they already thought. That's why
folks immediately rushed to say Donald Trump's assassination attempt was staged.
Why what's the reason to spread that narrative? What happened
on Saturday was very real and it should be a
teachable moment for us all because this is what happens
when you have people in positions of power spreading the
(10:37):
kind of dangerous rhetoric that Donald Trump has been spreading
since twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
No one should shaped, No one should say this is staged.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Saying it is staged is exactly why we can't fix
the problem, because we're not acknowledging the truth. What happened
to Donald Trump is very real. Political violence is very
very real, and it's only gonna get worse, especially when
you have people like JD. Vance and House Speaker Mike
Johnson blaming Democrats when we don't even know the shooter's
motives yet. Okay, the truth is President Donald Trump has
(11:07):
created an environment of political violence that not even he
is safe from.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
So it's damn short not safe for anyone else.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
It is my hope that at the Republican National Convention,
Republicans use this opportunity to de escalate and not escalate,
because if they go out there and escalate, they have
to know they are continuing to make things unsafe for
everyone including them. Trump stood up after getting shot, fisting
the air, blood on his face, and just like on
January sixth, he told his supporters to fight. Fight who.
(11:37):
We don't even know why this happened to you. Everyone's
just speculating. Everyone got their own conspiracy theories, their own ideas.
You can't just tell folks to fight. What we all
need to learn from What we all need to learn
from this is that history now shows us that folks
are willing to fight and kill for whatever they believe in,
whether it's storm in the Capitol, are shooting at the president.
(11:58):
It seems like violence is inevitable. The stage has already
been set.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
How far goals depends on us, the American people.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
We have to decide what kind of republic we want
to live in, and we need to decide that now.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Sadly, though, when I.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
See and hear statements from Senator jd Vance and House
Speaker Mike Johnson statements that continue to divide us and
make people unnecessary targets, I fear it may be too late.
But let's not forget the moral of this story. We
are all adults in this country, Okay, big boys, big girls.
We can condemn political violence and what happened to Trump
on Saturday night and also talk about the dangerous rhetoric
(12:31):
that Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Has spewed that got us here.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Please let rimy MA give senat the jd Vance and
House Speaker Mike Johnson the biggest he hull.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Hee ha he ha, you stupid mother? Are you dumb?
Open up the phones.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Let's discuss Donkey Today is sponsored by renowned personal injury
attorney Michael the Bull Lamb is soft. Don't be a
donkey when you need a fighter on your side. If
you're ever injured, go to Michael to bull dot com.
That's Michael to bull dot com. And when you mess
with the bull, you get the horns.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Wake that ass up early in the morning at Breakfast
Club

Speaker 2 (00:03):
There is no question that there are problems in this
country between police and community. Yes, you are a donkey

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Now the new developments in the death Leae spatshooting rampage
man yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
It was a really bad day for him and this
is what he did. And so we are in a
state of emergency.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Okay, White supremacist violence, it has always have been the
number one threat to our society. But I'm also very
proud that my wife was white.

since twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
No one should shaped, No one should say this is staged.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Saying it is staged is exactly why we can't fix
the problem, because we're not acknowledging the truth. What happened
to Donald Trump is very real. Political violence is very
very real, and it's only gonna get worse, especially when
you have people like JD. Vance and House Speaker Mike
Johnson blaming Democrats when we don't even know the shooter's
motives yet. Okay, the truth is President Donald Trump has
(11:07):
created an environment of political violence that not even he
is safe from.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
So it's damn short not safe for anyone else.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
It is my hope that at the Republican National Convention,
Republicans use this opportunity to de escalate and not escalate,
because if they go out there and escalate, they have
to know they are continuing to make things unsafe for
everyone including them. Trump stood up after getting shot, fisting
the air, blood on his face, and just like on
January sixth, he told his supporters to fight. Fight who.
(11:37):
We don't even know why this happened to you. Everyone's
just speculating. Everyone got their own conspiracy theories, their own ideas.
You can't just tell folks to fight. What we all
need to learn from What we all need to learn
from this is that history now shows us that folks
are willing to fight and kill for whatever they believe in,
whether it's storm in the Capitol, are shooting at the president.
(11:58):
It seems like violence is inevitable. The stage has already
been set.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
How far goals depends on us, the American people.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
We have to decide what kind of republic we want
to live in, and we need to decide that now.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Sadly, though, when I.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
See and hear statements from Senator jd Vance and House
Speaker Mike Johnson statements that continue to divide us and
make people unnecessary targets, I fear it may be too late.
But let's not forget the moral of this story. We
are all adults in this country, Okay, big boys, big girls.
We can condemn political violence and what happened to Trump
on Saturday night and also talk about the dangerous rhetoric
(12:31):
that Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Has spewed that got us here.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Please let rimy MA give senat the jd Vance and
House Speaker Mike Johnson the biggest he hull.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Hee ha he ha, you stupid mother? Are you dumb?
Open up the phones.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
