  Speaker 1: Welcome to Check with Chip, brought to you by Operation

  Speaker 1: Blue Dot Red, turning the Blue Dot Red one podcast
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: at a time. President Trump was in Grand Island, Nebraska
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: this week, stumping for Nebraska Republican candidates. In addressing the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: nuclear threat posed by Iran, the president said the temporary
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: high cost of gas is better than Iran taking out
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles or San Diego. The headline at the website
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: of our local newspaper said, Trump suggests Iran should take
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: out San Diego and L.A. Talking heads on leftist networks
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: were doing their best dramatic presentations of similar headlines and
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: assertions that President Trump encouraged Iran to destroy American cities.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: There hasn't been anything this ugly, this disingenuous, this fraudulent
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: since the Charlottesville lie. I did a podcast on Charlottesville
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: back in April of 2019. If you want to revisit it,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I replayed it in this podcast series on April 30th,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: The Truth About Charlottesville, and I must say it has
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: aged well. Joe Biden launched his 2020 presidential campaign on
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the lie that Trump called the neo-Nazi white supremacist protesters
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: at Charlottesville fine people. Trump did not call white supremacists
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: at Charlottesville fine people. he strongly condemned them. The audio
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: with his exact words is included as part of my
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Charlottesville podcast. Trump said there were fine people on both
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: sides of the dispute over removing a statue of Robert E. Lee.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: He said there were fine people who were not racist,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: but believed removing the statue was an unwarranted attack on
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: a hallowed symbol of duty, valor, and honor in Southern culture.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: On the other side were fine people who believed Lee
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: was too closely connected to slavery and had to go.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Trump also said there were bad people on both sides,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: white supremacists on the pro-Lee side and leftist militants on
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the other side who showed up looking for a fight.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: It was an excellent analysis of a complex situation. That
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: did not stop Biden, Democrats, and the entire left from
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: running with the fake news spin that Trump called neo-Nazis
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: fine people. Here's the clip of Trump in Grand Island.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I want to see a tremendous victory. You want to
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: see a tremendous victory because it verifies all the things
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: we did. And again, remember... With the word just artificial,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: it's a little bit high. It's a small price to
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: They can take out a city. Let them take out
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. This is
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: a very small price to pay. And it's going to
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: be over very soon. It's essentially almost over with. The
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Democratic mayor of San Diego jumped into the media to
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: claim his moment. declaring that his city was not a
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: small price to pay. Trump was presenting a scenario in
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: which major American coastal cities are hit by Iranian nuclear
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: missiles because we did not prevent Iran from achieving that capability.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: He was not suggesting or inviting or encouraging Iran to
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: attack American cities. He was emphasizing the need to prevent
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: San Diego from or any other city from being nuked
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: by Iran. Only an absolute imbecile would conclude that an
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: American president was calling down nuclear hell on one of
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: his nation's cities. Trump was saying that high gas prices
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: for a few more months is a small price to
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: pay compared to the devastation of a nuclear attack on
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: American soil. Even if you heard it as Trump trying
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: to be funny, saying maybe we should let Iran take
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: out liberal Democratic bastions L.A. and San Diego. Okay, you
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: can say the clumsy bowl-in-a-China-shop president smashed things up again
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and made a mess. But this pearl-clutching hyperventilating about the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: president welcoming the wipeout of American cities is, well, maybe
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: to be expected in the current political environment typified by
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Trump derangement syndrome. Make sure everyone in the circles of
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: life in which you travel knows the truth of it.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: That's Check with Chip. I'm Chip Maxwell. Thank you for listening.
