His teleprompter operator was 30 00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:39.040 apparently making money betting on his speeches, his media company 31 00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:42.000 is selling Wall Street access to his truths, and his 32 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.439 vice president is demanding taxpayer funded helicopter rides for his 33 00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:50.120 kid's golf lesson, We'll dig into those stories, plus JD 34 00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:53.120 Vance's attempt to win back Joe Rogan and Pete Hegseth's 35 00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:58.040 obsession with testosterone. Then Alex Wagner talks to Michigan Senate 36 00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:01.560 candidate Abdul al Sayed about the tense primary in that state. 37 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:05.719 It's heading into the final home stretch.

It doesn't get bigger. It's so big 59 00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:18.199 that we are recording this at seven pm on Thursday 60 00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:23.680 night because we wanted to bring you our analysis of 61 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:25.560 this speech, which is why we're here late because it 62 00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:27.120 was so big. 63 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.120 Just like a table of nine people at CNN. 64 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.960 Dozens of twenty twenty election deniers got called to the 65 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:38.280 White House for a top secret preview. Ohio Senator Bernie 66 00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:43.039 Moreno said it would be the most important presidential address 67 00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:48.599 since the Cuban missile crisis, and at nine pm Eastern 68 00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:52.240 on Thursday night, this is what we got. Though this 69 00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.360 might be news to you unless you're a Fox or 70 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:57.240 CBS viewer, since those are the only networks that carried 71 00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.560 it live. CBS really only did like half the speech 72 00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:03.319 and then they sort of like gave context around it. 73 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:05.599 But anyway, here's what you missed tonight. 74 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:10.719 I'm announcing the immediate declassification and release of critical intelligence 75 00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:17.920 revealing shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure. This evidence shows 76 00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:23.399 that the election system we have dangerously exposes and really 77 00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:29.839 exposes like levels never thought possible, to hacking, exploitation, and 78 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:35.959 foreign interference. Just as disturbingly, this vital information has for 79 00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:39.759 many years been covered up and hidden from you. They 80 00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:43.800 wanted to just make you sound like your president wasn't 81 00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:47.240 so hot, when actually your president has done a great 82 00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:51.920 job recently, we found significant numbers of burn bags, members 83 00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:55.480 of the deep state, very very famous group of people. 84 00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:59.279 Many cases they did not want and they just didn't 85 00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:02.439 want it, fought like hell not to have it. Donald 86 00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:07.240 Trump to win. In a rare move, NBC and ABC 87 00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:09.839 fake News have both said that they would not cover 88 00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:12.120 this speech. They knew what it was about. They and 89 00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:15.439 others in the media part of a plot. They want 90 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:18.240 to continue this fraud for whatever reason. They want to 91 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:23.160 keep it going. Addressing this crisis of election security demands 92 00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:28.120 that Congress must pass the Save America Act. 93 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:34.000 Wow, So that was something you know in our meeting 94 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:36.720 before the speech earlier this week, you said it would 95 00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:41.920 probably just be a bunch of rambling nothing that no 96 00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:44.839 one would pay attention to and think about more than 97 00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.279 twenty four to forty eight hours afterwards. And I kind 98 00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:48.079 of think you nailed it in. 99 00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:49.959 Well, I had to get one right. 100 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:57.720 Eventually, Let's get to Trump's actual claims, which, honestly, I mean, 101 00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:00.720 we played that super cut, but it was hard to follow. 102 00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:03.920 And we have followed this stuff for like ten years. 103 00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:08.240 And also, like before the speech, while we were waiting 104 00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:10.199 around in the office to record tonight, I was like 105 00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:13.720 going back and reading things about the twenty twenty election 106 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:15.639 and what had been debunked, just so I could prepare 107 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.360 for this. And still it was hard to follow that, 108 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:19.399 and that stuff. 109 00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:22.160 Wasn't even really helpful. You didn't even have being an 110 00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:25.920 expert in the conspiracy theories up to this point. Was 111 00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:30.519 that helpful because these were new ish conspiracy theories. 112 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.519 Let go, Let's go through his actual claims. Starting in 113 00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:39.000 twenty twenty, China allegedly acquired two hundred and twenty million 114 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:46.120 US voter files, and the deep State hid this from Trump. Now, 115 00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.480 all the documents that the White House released also confirm 116 00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:52.839 what they intelligence agencies and the government found back in 117 00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:57.160 twenty twenty when Trump was president, that not a single 118 00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:04.160 vote was changed, and also the voter files, voter information, 119 00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:07.879 voter registration information is public in most states. You can 120 00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:10.600 just get the information. So anybody did get it, the 121 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:14.639 idea that our names and addresses or somewhere sitting in China, 122 00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:16.680 they're also sitting out there on the internet. 123 00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:21.360 Anyone can get it. Every campaign has it. It didn't 124 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:23.759 require any hacking or in neefarious moves to get it. 125 00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:25.319 What do they want to do with it? Were their 126 00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:29.120 intentions good, probably not, but it was trough, tried to 127 00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:30.959 make it sound much scarier than it actually was. 128 00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:36.040 Our voting machines are vulnerable, didn't really give a lot 129 00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:39.759 of evidence for that. That was all recycled stuff that 130 00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:42.759 the intelligence agency had said. There's like potential for vulnerabilities 131 00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.160 and some electronic voting machines, but nothing has happened. And 132 00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:49.160 you know, other nefarious actors and other countries may have 133 00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:54.839 been looking at ways to hack into or interfere with 134 00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:56.920 voting machines, but no one has done it, and so 135 00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:01.360 there's no news there. There was a random episode in 136 00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.000 Michigan in twenty twenty where a bunch of suspicious voter 137 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:09.879 registration forms were flagged to the police and then nothing 138 00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.279 happened and no votes were changed and no people were registered, 139 00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:15.439 and I guess it was never prosecuted, and now Trump 140 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:16.720 once that prosecuted. 141 00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:18.879 Yeah, And it's I mean, the thing about that is 142 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:21.040 this has happened in the past. That actually happened on 143 00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:23.240 a race I worked on many many years ago, where 144 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:25.959 people were doing what a registration drive and they just 145 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:29.680 filled out the forms in order to get paid, which 146 00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:32.240 is fraud, but it's not voter fraud because the people 147 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:35.559 who got registered, if they either don't exist, or if 148 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:37.240 they do exist, they don't know they're registered, so they 149 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:37.840 don't vote. 150 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:40.679 Yeah, so that's it's an old one. It's been public. 151 00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:43.879 It's not that was anything new. DHS apparently found a 152 00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:46.279 bunch of non citizens registered to vote, but didn't find 153 00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:50.440 any non citizens who did vote. Also can't really be verified. 154 00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:53.759 Who knows what the non citizens registering to vote are. 155 00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:57.879 We haven't seen those documents yet. And then big one. 156 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.720 There were some there was some election meddling. There were 157 00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:06.080 some votes changed in Venezuela by Nicholas Maduro. 158 00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:08.960 Someone's got to get that Maduro guy. That guy should 159 00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:09.559 be served in time. 160 00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:14.440 One of the revelations tonight was that Nicholas Maduro meddled 161 00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:17.879 in Venezuela's elections, and somehow that ended up in Donald 162 00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:21.440 Trump's primetime address. At a time when we are at 163 00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:25.480 war with Iran, the straight is closed, inflation is high, 164 00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:32.039 people are struggling. There's wildfire smoke that is making some 165 00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:35.600 half the cities in the Northeast and the Midwest unbreathable, 166 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:36.279 can't even. 167 00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:39.440 Go outside, but not getting explosive diarrhea. 168 00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:42.799 That forgot about that. Right, there's led us explosive diarrhea. 169 00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:46.639 And yet the president went out tonight to talk about 170 00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:53.639 random recycled voter conspiracy, election fraud conspiracy theories and let 171 00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:57.120 us know that Nicholas Maduro meddled in his own elections, 172 00:09:57.159 --> 00:10:00.320 and that the Chinese have access to the vote or 173 00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:02.120 file data that we do too. 174 00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:05.279 I mean a couple of just key points. Star, I 175 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:07.759 just want to hone in on first. You said it, 176 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:10.000 I'm going to say it again. It's very important. No 177 00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:13.279 one has presented any evidence that votes were. 178 00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.320 Changed, including the Trump administration this time around this year. 179 00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:19.960 They could not find that they went into this time 180 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:21.960 around as well. Yeah, they cannot do it. The second 181 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:25.080 thing here is that they China apparently acquired public information. 182 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:27.960 Don't love it, but nothing you can really do about it. 183 00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:30.840 We make a public next. The idea, to the extent 184 00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.240 that there's allegations, although this is very much just speed 185 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:36.080 by the intelligent community, that China was going to be 186 00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:39.919 involved in some sort of misinformation campaign. They're going to 187 00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:45.320 try to get involved with like higher journalists or media influencers, 188 00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:47.240 or build bots or all of that. All of the 189 00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:49.799 things that Russia did on Trump's behalf in twenty sixteen, 190 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:52.240 to be noted, No, not a ton of evidence that 191 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:54.320 they actually did it, but that they thought about doing it. 192 00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.039 But we also know that in every election, foreign intelligence 193 00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.360 agencies try to interfere in our election. Russia tries it, 194 00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:04.679 Iran has tried it, the Chinese have apparently tried it. 195 00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:07.120 Nothing new there, no evidence had actually changed any botes. 196 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:11.840 I think the most important thing here is if there 197 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:16.720 were huge gaps in our election security infrastructure that allowed 198 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:21.600 China to penetrate to do these things that Trump claims 199 00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:24.000 they did do, the person who was in charge at 200 00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:27.639 that time should be held accountable and that Donald Trump. 201 00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:29.639 No careful on that, because he got ahead of that 202 00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:33.440 tonight by basically saying that everyone that this was all 203 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:35.720 uncovered and this was all known in twenty twenty, but 204 00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:37.200 it was all the deep state, and the deep state 205 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:38.639 hit it for him. So this is like he's going 206 00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:39.279 to go after him. 207 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:41.679 That's next. That's my next point. His big complaint ra 208 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:42.919 spent a lot of time here, is that the people 209 00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:45.679 who worked for him didn't tell him things right. Well, 210 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:47.279 it seems like a management problem. And I would also 211 00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:49.559 point out that the guy who is the Director of 212 00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:51.919 National Intelligence who would have been overseeing the people were 213 00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:54.639 hiding things from Donald Trump is a man named John Radcliffe. 214 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:57.200 It's John Ratcliffe in jail. Has he been? Has he been? 215 00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:00.919 Has he been like shamed out of life? No, he's 216 00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:02.759 Donald Trump picked in to be his director of the CIA. 217 00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:07.279 Look, these people, these these are not incompetent public servants. 218 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:10.840 These are victims of a deep state plot. Dan, No 219 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:14.200 matter who you're talking about, there's always a deep state 220 00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:17.960 operative responsible for pulling the wool over their eyes. 221 00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:20.279 And then also, if you were someone who is deeply 222 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:24.600 concerned about our election security going forward, would you have 223 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:27.559 gutted many of the agencies and eliminated much of the 224 00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:32.559 funding that goes towards election security? Because that's what Donald 225 00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:33.600 Trump and Neillon Musk did do. 226 00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:37.360 One thing that's funny is as everyone is reading all 227 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:38.840 you can go to White House duc of to look 228 00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:41.159 at all these docks that they're really that they declassified 229 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:44.360 and released. Because everyone's looking at the docks, they're not 230 00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:48.279 really matching the president's claims in the speed his own 231 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:52.480 his own documents, his own documents. Sam Stein picked up 232 00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:56.879 this one here. Docs released by Trump today confirmed Russia 233 00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:59.919 tried to spread claims Biden was engaged in criminal activity 234 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:04.639 visa vi Barisma, and that it advanced those narratives with 235 00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:07.960 US officials and planned a high profile corruption scandal at 236 00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:11.480 the peak of the twenty twenty presidential campaign. You might 237 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:15.080 remember that that scandal turned out to be the subject 238 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:17.840 of Donald Trump's first impeachment. 239 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:20.759 Yeah, his perfect phone called is Zelenski. 240 00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:24.639 So that stuff's out there now. There was a lot 241 00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:27.559 of stuff just about Russia in the docs that Russia 242 00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:31.440 tried to interfere on behalf of Donald Trump. So they 243 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:35.840 put all that out there too. Fucking idiots. Man. 244 00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:37.600 Yeah, it's so stupid. 245 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:40.879 And apparently like there was an administration official told ms 246 00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:43.759 NOW before the speech, because this was a speech that 247 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:49.000 was cooked up, by the way, by John Solomon, the 248 00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:52.000 pretend journalist who then has become a special government employee, 249 00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:57.360 and also Bill Palty. And an administration official told ms 250 00:13:57.399 --> 00:14:00.559 NOW flatly that the intelligence doesn't show what Poulti and 251 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.080 Solomon claim. Quote, the intelligence just doesn't say what you 252 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.960 wanted to say. I'm sorry. So they just they cooked 253 00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:09.679 up some stuff for the President to say in his 254 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:13.399 speech and get all mad and and please him please 255 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:17.679 grandpa who's getting old and you know, grumpy and wants 256 00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:20.200 to talk about election conspiracies. And then they just threw 257 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:21.519 that in the speech and then they put a bunch 258 00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:22.960 of dogs that don't really say any of that. 259 00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:25.159 Cool. What a great issue of everyone's time. 260 00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:28.559 What a great use of everyone's time. What's your level 261 00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:32.440 of alarm after listening, because you know, on one hand, 262 00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:34.720 it's all stupid and they didn't really prove anything, and 263 00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:38.039 they didn't even make up any good story even they 264 00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:39.759 didn't even they didn't even put it a good lie. 265 00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:43.200 On the other hand, it's it's clear that his intention 266 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:47.679 is to so doubt among Americans and are in the 267 00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:52.879 sanctity of our elections, And clearly, as sure as the 268 00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:56.960 sun comes up, is going to cry foul if Republicans 269 00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:58.159 lose the midterms. 270 00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:01.120 I mean, this is a man cried foul at an 271 00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:02.679 election he won in twenty sixteen. 272 00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:05.440 So it's like, you didn't you didn't need a speech 273 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:07.879 or a declassifying a bunch of documents for that. But sure, 274 00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:08.879 I think. 275 00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:12.879 We should be very vigilant because Ronald Trump is going 276 00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:15.960 to try to interfere in these elections. Like we know 277 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:18.039 that that is obvious. I think he has less powered 278 00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:20.600 to do so than he believes, and a lot of 279 00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:23.600 Democrats fear. These elections are run by the states. States 280 00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:25.960 aside how they're run, how the votes are counted, how 281 00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:28.480 they're certified. Those things are written in law. The courts 282 00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:32.360 to date have been very skeptical of any of these 283 00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:34.480 Trump efforts across the board, from twenty twenty all the 284 00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:36.960 way through here. But he's gonna try, and we should 285 00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:39.440 be vigital. I am no more worried after this speech 286 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:42.519 I was before. This was just stupid. This doesn't like 287 00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:44.080 I think people thought he was gonna you know, there 288 00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:45.519 was reporting early on that he was just going to 289 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:50.000 declare that John Asoff and Rafael Warnock were illegitimate centators. 290 00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:51.799 I don't know what power he has to do that, 291 00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:54.559 but that or that there he would call for the 292 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:57.759 seizing of something or the confiscation of this thing. He 293 00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:00.480 did none of that. He just vomited, did a bunch 294 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:02.039 of things. It did make a lot of sense in 295 00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:06.159 a very tired, monotone voice that was felt a grieved 296 00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:07.200 the whole time, and then moved. 297 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:08.840 To burn bags, burn bags. 298 00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:12.639 Yeah, I mean it was We can get into the 299 00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:15.080 the performance level of this, but it was I mean, 300 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:17.120 I would actually he may need to talk to Ptex 301 00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:21.720 Ethwick and some of that tea. 302 00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:23.159 Yelling about the burd. I couldn't follow that one either. 303 00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:25.039 Something about Obama and burn but. 304 00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:27.000 We knew about these burn bags was the thing. I 305 00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:29.200 was trying to remember this because we've actually talked about it, 306 00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:33.000 because this is thing. I think, these are the Cashptael burn. 307 00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:35.039 Bags so hard to keep all these episodes. 308 00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:37.639 I know it's our literally our job is to keep 309 00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:39.320 these things straight and we can understand what the fuck 310 00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:41.600 he was saying, Like, what would a normal American think 311 00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:41.919 of this? 312 00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:46.080 Before? I mean, we should talk about the the FCC threat. 313 00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:50.679 The networks who didn't cover my speech, my election fraud 314 00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:53.279 speech where I spout conspiracies are now going to lose 315 00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:56.399 their license. They should lose their license. Is that that 316 00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:57.120 a real threat? 317 00:16:58.919 --> 00:17:00.559 I mean, I think it's a thing that Trump really 318 00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:02.480 would like to see happen, and I'm sure Brendan Carr 319 00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:04.519 will try to do some things. I don't think he 320 00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:07.079 really has the ability to do that. Just to make 321 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:10.079 this very clear, it is not unusual for networks not 322 00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:13.799 to air speeches if the topic of the national vice 323 00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:18.079 addressed is not sufficiently newsworthy. This happened with Obama. None 324 00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:21.839 of the networks covered Obama's twenty fourteen speech about immigration 325 00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:24.119 where he's announce imigration and executive Actually they actually was 326 00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:25.480 news in it, but they all thought it was too 327 00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:29.640 political to cover. In twenty twenty two, you remember the 328 00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:33.000 Joe Biden speech on democracy that he gave. None of 329 00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:35.240 the networks covered that one either because they thought it 330 00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:37.279 was too political and newsworth This was very political and 331 00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:39.400 not Newsworthies. And then when you add on top of 332 00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:41.119 it and you can it was funny to watching Fox's 333 00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:46.160 coverage because Fox is so afraid of getting another three 334 00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:48.519 quarters of a billion dollar a lawsuit like they did 335 00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:50.559 in the dominion suit, and so they were just so 336 00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:53.359 they promoted the speech, I ever talking about what was 337 00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:54.759 in the speech, and then after the speech they had 338 00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:57.720 to repeatedly say Fox can't verify these claims, like the 339 00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:01.079 lawyers were really all up in Brett Behar's ass, which 340 00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:04.839 was amusing to watch. So it's not like they can. 341 00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:07.680 The networks are well within their rights to not cover this, 342 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:10.240 and it's not unusual and it's not a Trump arrangement 343 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:12.039 syndrome or anything like that. This is a speech that 344 00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:14.759 was not did not merit that level of coverage, even 345 00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:16.920 if the things he were going to say were not 346 00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:19.720 possibly litigious wise. 347 00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:31.319 This podcast is sponsored by Squarespace.
