  Speaker 1: This is a miracle.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: There is no question that there are problems in this
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: country between police and community. Yes, you are a donkey
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: to the latest on that police killing of a black man.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Now the new developments in the death Leae spatshooting rampage
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: man yesterday.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: It was a really bad day for him and this
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: is what he did. And so we are in a
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: state of emergency.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, White supremacist violence, it has always have been the
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: number one threat to our society. But I'm also very
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: proud that my wife was white.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: The practice club bitches suris running.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Please tell me why was I your Donkey of the day, Well,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Tommy Lauren Donkey of the Day from Monday, July fifteenth
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: goes to the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Mike Johnson, as well as United States Senator from Ohio JD.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Vans.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: First and foremost, before we continue, let me state the
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: obvious and say, regardless of what you feel about a
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: person's politics.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Violence is never the answer. It's that simple.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: If you don't like a candidate or an elected official,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: you should atempt to take them out with your votes,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: not violence. If you think otherwise, If you think violence
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: is indeed the answer. Just do a simple exercise and
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: ask yourself if this was a candidate or elected official
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: that you actually voted for and supported, and they got
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: shot at someone attempted to take their life, what would
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: your reaction to that be. When we discuss what happened
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: to Donald Trump, I believe that discussion, like most discussions
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: in America, is multi layered. But first and foremost, we
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: should talk about the issue of political violence, and we
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: should denounce it and state quite plainly that we have
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: no place for it in America period. And I'm not
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: saying that to be politically correct. I'm saying that because
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: that's how I truly feel. Now back to the donkeys
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: at hand. Mike Johnson and sented a JD. Advance from Ohio. First,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: let me read this tweet that JD Vance posted on
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Saturday at eight twenty pm, just a couple of hours
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: after the assassination attempt for Trump occurred. He posted today
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: is not just some isolated incident. The central premise of
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump isn't the
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: or terrrian fascist who must be stopped at all costs.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: That rhetoric led directly to President Trump's attempted assassination.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: In quote speaker at a house.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Mike Johnson was on NBC's Today Show on Sunday morning,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: and he said this in regards to the Trump shooting.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Everyone needs to turn the rhetoric down.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: Let's listen as America awakens to a rather surreal morning.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: This is a horrific act of political violence that ought
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: to be roundly condemned. Obviously, we can't go on like
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: this as a society. We've got to turn the rhetoric down.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: We've got to turn the temperature down in this country.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: We need leaders of all parties on both sides to
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: call that out and make sure that happens so that
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: we can go forward and maintain our free society that
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: we all are blessed to have.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Now, I've been observing and just listening all weekend.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm not a person who rushes dispilled the
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: first thing that comes to mind on social media. I've
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: just been taking it all in, and I want to
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: say to Mike Johnson and jd Evans that you can't
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: honestly have a conversation about dangerous rhetoric that leads the
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: political violence without discussing the dangers rhetoric that has come
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: out of President Donald Trump's mouth and his social media.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Mike Johnson said, everyone needs to turn the rhetoric down.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: The question I would ask Mike Johnson is who is
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: everyone for him and JD Vance to make comments like
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: that and not acknowledge the countless times Donald Trump has
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: said things that have led to violence or could lead
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: the violence. It's disingenuous and it's them playing campaign games.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: It's them politicizing this situation because of course it is
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: a presidential election year. They, like many politicians, Republicans and Democrats,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: are using this as an opportunity to score points on
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: the opposition. Real leaders would be using this as an
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: opportunity to actually bring people together. Instead, you both are
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: causing more division. You are causing more people, in this
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: case Democrats to be targets. Once again, you cannot make
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: any statements about dangerous rhetoric that leads the political violence
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: and division without acknowledging the words that have come from
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump's mouth and his social media. There has been
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: a real un serious attitude in regards the political violence
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: in this country. When a nut ass follow up of
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump came to Nancy Pelosi's house and attacked her
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: with a hammer.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Trump made fun of it.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: And we'll stand up the crazy Nancy Pelosi who ruined
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: San Francisco. How's her husband doing? By the way, anybody now?
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: And she's against building a wall on our border, even
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: though she has a wall around her house, which obviously
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: didn't do a very good job.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Remember when Trump posted pictures of Biden looking like he's
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: bound and hog tied on his social media. Donald Trump,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: in an attempt to overthrow the results of the twenty
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: twenty election, told his followers to fight, and that led
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: to an attempt to cool his country, and some of
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: his followers did bring guns and ammunition to DC for
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: that purpose.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: They did storm the capitol. They were chanting to hang Mike.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Pince because he wouldn't alter the election results. That happened,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: and it happened because of Donald Trump. I'm not even
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: gonna go down in the rabbit hole. How many times
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump is incited political violence or co signed political violence,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: are suggested political violence? I'll give you couple that come
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: to mind. You remember when the now governor of Montana
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: I believe it was Montana, he was running for Congress
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: and he body slammed the reporter and got charged with assault,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: and Donald Trump said he is my type. Is that
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: not encouraging violence? You remember when Donald Trump suggested that,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: you know, Second Amendment advocates assassinate Hillary Clinton.
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish the Second Amendment, by
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: the way, and if she gets to pick, if she
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks.
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is I don't know, but.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Come on, so, Mike Johnson and JD Vance, please don't
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: act like Donald Trump is not solely responsible for creating
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: this environment of political violence, that he's not even safe.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: From about twelve days ago, Kevin Roberts, the president of
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the pro Trump think tank the Heritage Foundation, said this.
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: In spite of all this nonsense from the left, we
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: are going to win. We're in the process of taking
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: this country back, and we are in the process of
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: the Second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: left allows it to be.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: It will be bloodless if the left allows it to be.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Mike Johnson and JD Vance, could that kind of rhetoric
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: lead to political violence?
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: If somebody was at.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Home right reading Project twenty twenty five, which is put
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: together by the Heritage Foundation, and heard Mike Johnson say
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: that don't you think that could lead to some type
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: of political violence.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Why aren't you denouncing all that type of rhetoric?
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, then and now, how could you in this moment
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: immediately point the finger to Democrats? And how come more
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: to media hasn't been saying this all weekend? I understand
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: sadly there was an assassination attempt on the former president
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: when in a moment like this, we can't worry about,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: you know, striking the right tone.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: We have to worry about telling the truth. Now, Mike
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Johnson and JD.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Vance both say that Donald Trump has been vilified, and
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: you know, calling him a threat to democracy was one
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: of the things that led to this. I saw Mike
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Johnson again on Anderson Cooper, and Anderson rightfully pointed out
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: that Trump has said that about Joe Biden as well.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: Let's listen, it's an objective truth that Donald Trump is
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: probably the most persecuted and attacked political figure in history,
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: certainly among presidents, maybe at least since Abraham Lincoln Civil
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: War era. And that takes a toll. I mean when
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: my colleagues go out Democrat colleagues and say democracy will end,
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: the Republic will be in an emergency stage if Donald
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Trump wins for president. It's just not true. It's another election.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: And when they say that kind of rhetoric and they
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: heat it up like that, there are people out there
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: that take these things to heart and they act upon them.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Politicians are not responsible for that, but we do have
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: a responsibility to be responsible.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: I do want to point out the former president himself
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: has also used that kind of rhetoric. He said on
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: June twenty seventh, Joe Biden is a threat to democracy,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: a threat to the survival in existence of our country itself.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: That's certainly the same kind of language.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: You're talking about.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Listen, everybody is prone to overstatement. Okay, I mean a
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: few days ago, earlier this week, I mean, Joe Biden
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: actually said we need to put Donald Trump in the bullside.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: I mean right. I don't think either of those men
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: meant to imply anything beyond just rhetoric. But the point
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: is the rhetoric has consequences.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Once again, you cannot talk about rhetoric without talking about
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: the things that Donald Trump has pewed out of his
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: mouth and on social media, people like myself and others
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: called Donald Trump a threat to democracy because he has
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: done things that have threatened democracy.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I could argue that.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: In regard to the three judges he put on the
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Supreme Court, democracy has done, but you all won't realize
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: that until November when the presidential election comes. But I'll
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: get back to that for all you people who may
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: think saying Donald Trump is the threat to democracy is
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: just noise. Well, when someone says we should terminate the
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: constitution to overthrow the results of an election, that's a
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: threat to democracy.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: When someone tells people.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: To fight and they stormed the Capitol to overthrow the
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: results of an election, that's a threat to democracy. Trump
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: put three judges on the now illegitimate corrupt institution that
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: is the Supreme Court, and they are absolutely threatening our democracy.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: They granted him presidential immunity for crimes because he asked.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: That has nothing to do with the Constitution. Look up,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: it's the Chevron ruling the Supreme Court dead. The Supreme
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Court did. It's basically saying they can make up stuff
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: based on their own interpretations. That's one of the biggest
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: f us to the Constitution. I've ever witnessed, there are
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: abolishing constitutional rights like Roe v.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Wade.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: They made it to where elected officials can take bribes.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump and Republicans have put together a corrupt Supreme
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Court that literally doesn't have to care what voters want.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: They have set up a system where either Republicans win
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: elections or elections do not matter. Is that not a
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: threat to democracy? Wait until November now? Personally, I don't
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: believe Biden can beat Trump, especially after Saturday. But if
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: he does, when Donald Trump contests the results of the election,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: because he will if he loses. In light of all
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: the Supreme Court's recent rulings, do we really believe they
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: aren't gonna side with him? Is that when some will
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: finally believe he is the threat to democracy? Are we
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: going to just believe him when he says the election
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: was rigged? Only difference is this time when he says
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: the election is rigged, the Supreme Court is going to
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: side with him, and it will be a coup by court.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: And of course it will be people in this country
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: who will believe him if loses and says the election
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: is rigged because people believe what they want. That's why
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: some folks want to believe his attempted assassination was staged.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Nobody believes the truth in this country anymore, and that
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: is another problem in America. Depending on what side you
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: stand on, that's what you believe. Nobody thinks anything is
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: real unless it confirms what they already thought. That's why
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: folks immediately rushed to say Donald Trump's assassination attempt was staged.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Why what's the reason to spread that narrative? What happened
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: on Saturday was very real and it should be a
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: teachable moment for us all because this is what happens
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: when you have people in positions of power spreading the
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: kind of dangerous rhetoric that Donald Trump has been spreading
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: since twenty sixteen.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: No one should shaped, No one should say this is staged.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Saying it is staged is exactly why we can't fix
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: the problem, because we're not acknowledging the truth. What happened
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: to Donald Trump is very real. Political violence is very
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: very real, and it's only gonna get worse, especially when
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: you have people like JD. Vance and House Speaker Mike
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Johnson blaming Democrats when we don't even know the shooter's
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: motives yet. Okay, the truth is President Donald Trump has
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: created an environment of political violence that not even he
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: is safe from.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: So it's damn short not safe for anyone else.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: It is my hope that at the Republican National Convention,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Republicans use this opportunity to de escalate and not escalate,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: because if they go out there and escalate, they have
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: to know they are continuing to make things unsafe for
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: everyone including them. Trump stood up after getting shot, fisting
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: the air, blood on his face, and just like on
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: January sixth, he told his supporters to fight. Fight who.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: We don't even know why this happened to you. Everyone's
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: just speculating. Everyone got their own conspiracy theories, their own ideas.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: You can't just tell folks to fight. What we all
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: need to learn from What we all need to learn
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: from this is that history now shows us that folks
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: are willing to fight and kill for whatever they believe in,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: whether it's storm in the Capitol, are shooting at the president.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: It seems like violence is inevitable. The stage has already
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: been set.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: How far goals depends on us, the American people.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: We have to decide what kind of republic we want
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: to live in, and we need to decide that now.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Sadly, though, when I.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: See and hear statements from Senator jd Vance and House
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Speaker Mike Johnson statements that continue to divide us and
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: make people unnecessary targets, I fear it may be too late.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: But let's not forget the moral of this story. We
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: are all adults in this country, Okay, big boys, big girls.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: We can condemn political violence and what happened to Trump
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: on Saturday night and also talk about the dangerous rhetoric
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: that Donald Trump.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Has spewed that got us here.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Please let rimy MA give senat the jd Vance and
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: House Speaker Mike Johnson the biggest he hull.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Hee ha he ha, you stupid mother? Are you dumb?
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Open up the phones.
