  Speaker 1: The Great Joseph Tacapino, So Jojo, welcome back to the program.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I want to start with Egen Carroll. And you did
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: a great job representing President Trump more than once, actually twice,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: but specifically in the Eging Carroll trial with Judge Kaplan
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: and that jury, really you wanted you to lose and
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Trump be a rapist the rest of his life, but
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: you won. So you can say anything you want about
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: President Trump, but you can't call him a rapist unless, well,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: you want to spend fifteen million like George Sepanopolis. Exactly right, right, exactly.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: So then then there was a civil case too, and
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I guess the jury said that he was going to
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: pay a ninety million, eighty eight million, whatever it is.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: So he lost the appeal yesterday and he asked to
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: pay five million to me, that's still a win, rather
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: pay by than eighty eight. But is that it is
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: this over or is there more legal stop ahead?
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Well, I think there's still some open issues that that,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: you know, Leopell war is still going to deal with
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: regarding that second verdict. That was a crazy, ridiculous case.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Alena tried Alena Happa tried that case and the jury
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: awarded eighty three million. Two. Egene Carroll when the plant
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: the vast of twenty four I've never seen that my
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: life anymore. That just goes to show you the level
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: of disdain and lack of ability to get a fair
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: trial President Trump has in New York City, you know,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, in the history of American jurisprudence, I don't
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: think there's been a case where someone said, ladies and
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: gentlemen of the jury, award Mike cli In twenty four million,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: which is ridiculous, and the juris said, no, no, no, no,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: we're not awarding tossigned twenty four million. We're gonna give
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: eighty three million. I mean, that's what happened to Lina's trial.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: That is insane.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: And is that part of that? But was that part
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: of the reason why? Because that is so insane and
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: that's a great job Joseph pointing that out. Is that
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: partly why Trump probably thought it's going to go away completely? Yeah?
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I think so. Well, there's that and the fact that
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: he didn't get a fair trial and either trial, even
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: though we won the rape allegation, which was all they
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: played for. I mean, Egen Carroll said rat fifty two
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: times in her direct testimony, the summation was great, break rap, pray, rap, rap, rape,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: you know, and they lost a New York jury who
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: clearly did not like President Trump were to judge who
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: was itching to make sure the verde did not go
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: in his favor. Okay, you know they still couldn't, you know,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: find him liable for rape. And because they you know,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: you just have to be able to look in mirror
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: once in a while, even if you're a juror, and
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: there was no way that could have happened. So I
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: think he thought it was going to go away in total,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: because both cases were ridiculous. I mean, imagine being accused
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: of a sexual assault of rape twenty seven, twenty eight,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: or twenty nine years ago. We don't know the date,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: we don't know the year, we don't know the months,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: we don't know the season even, Okay, so we can't
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: check our calendars. I couldn't check the president's calendars where
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: he was, I mean, was there an album? Was not here?
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Was the most ridiculous allegation, and it only became an allegation,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: of course, when he became the president of the United States,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: So you know, I guess it was forgot for two decades.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: But anyway, you know that that case is over. And look,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: it didn't let it love on him clearly and he
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: made out. Well, he's still plus ten on this one, right,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: plus ten million because even if he has to pay
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: the five George Stephanopolis and his infinite wisdom went on
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: TV and called him a rapist, Thank you, Bloom fifteen million.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: So that's it. That's it, brother, So that that case
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: is a nothing. It's really a nothing. Burg By the way,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: congratulations on the Hall of Fame. That's a pretty cool thing.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I mean hall of Fame. I listen, you just said
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: the word. I was listening her into me with Anthony.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: You just said economic indicators. I was like, Wow, that's
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: such an amazingly sophisticated term economic indication. Did you think
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: back in fifth grade and polyprep that you would even
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: know that even though what an economic indicator was, let
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: alone be able to say it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I got it.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: That you've come, brother, where you've come is just different,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: different levels stuff. So it's so proud of you, so
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: happy for you. And by the way, on Fox News
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: the other day, I said, that was the good that
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I've seen anyone, anyone analyze the state of the war
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: of random what this thing is anyone who's done him.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Reast of all, thank you for the conmos about the
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. I love you and we've been friends,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: like you said, since the fifth grade at Polyprep in
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. But you and I spoke, obviously, I
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: know how you feel. But when you say that you
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: thought my analysis on Fox News Sunday morning was as good,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: if not better than anyone you've seen. First of all,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: thank you, But second of all, explain to the audience why.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Well, because I understand that to you along, we've been
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: discussing it. Because we're in a quag Mary, we are stuck.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: We could say on television all we want we won
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: that crippled. This is almost a complete surrender. It's not.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: We're still in a war. We're nowhere near a resolution,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: you know, because we need a resolution.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: You know, we need a.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Resolution, either a total annihilation and a victory or a
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: favorable resolution, not a resolution that has half the Republicans saying,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: my god, we're giving a terrorist nation three hundred billion dollars.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, we need a real resolution. We don't have one.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on because because you're right, that's what
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do. I don't care anybody says, but we've
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: got Republicans on record. Trump and his people are saying no, no, no, no,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: best and maybe Vans, they don't get any money. They
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: don't get any money unless they comply. I'm not sure
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: that's true. In fact, I don't think it is true.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: And what does that mean if they comply, Mike, Mike,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: guess they get money right away.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: They do get money right away. And by the way,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: as far as I'm complying, who's who's gonna what weapons
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: of inspector's going in there? Gonna know? If they comply,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: then you ran him under the ground. You know, they're
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: never complying. They're gonna they're gonna talk to talk, walk
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: to walk and say they're complying. But they're never complying.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: And they're gonna get that money. They're gonna get a
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: lot of money. So this is a home run for
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: them if they could get this deal. I mean, honestly,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: if we rewind them before we went and started this war,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: we'd be in a better position. Clearly, we'd be in
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: a better position. The people of this country. With the
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: prices of gas and food and all the things that
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: are really hurting us for the chance for the mid term,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: because we're in the bad spot for that.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I would say this, I agree with you with that
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: big Fury, and I loved that big Fury that Saturday morning.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I've never been more proud of a president than I
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: was for President Trump. See for me, Midnight Hammer did enough,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: because I do believe that we really damaged their centrifugures,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: their nuclear capabilities. Midnight Hammer, that was amazing. But Epic Fury,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: all we've done is caused more issues than anything good.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Said Epic Hammer. We did what we needed to do.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: We sent a message number one. We lost nobody, and
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: we did what we need to do. We show we're
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: gonna mess around with us. We're coming in there with
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: our incredible military might and we're going to take you down.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: And we did that, and we no one argued that
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: we didn't moliterate, as President Trump said, their nuclear systems.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: No one argued that it was over. And then we
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: started this thing again and it's been nothing but bad.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, we went in there with how planning said.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you as a military guy and someone who's
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: in touch with leaders. We went in there without a planet.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: We didn't secure our bases and embassies. Those are destroyed
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: based embassies. We didn't secure it the straight before you
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: go into a war with around every leader said you
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: have to secure the straight. We didn't do that. Okay,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: now that straight it's going to be invest for our
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: lifetime for sure. So we didn't have a plan. We
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: didn't go in there. Well, our munitions are a low
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: no matter what anyone says. You know, Pete Heasa testified
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: to that in Congress on TV says something different. But
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: when he testified on the road, our munitions although we
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: need money.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Wait, so let me stop you. So are you Joseph Takapina,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I love you like a brother and I actually trust you.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Don't believe you. Are you calling Pete Hegshatt, the Secretary
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: of War a liar.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I have a lot of things to say about Pete
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Heseth said. Honestly, I think he's doing more damage than
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: than we to withstand. I think he's given the present
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: some real bad advice. And what he's done this week
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: to me across the line beyond any line he's ever crossed.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: And what he did was removed our greatest warfighter. You know,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: he has thing and I know he has an issue,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a vendeticos the army. You know,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: he was a National guardsman and it was sort of
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: not treated well, he thought. And you know he is
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: now in a position and I'm gonna just shoot straight
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: with him where you know, First of all, he's made
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: some not good statements publicly saymans have come back to
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: haunt us. He removed certain elements of our war fighting
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: intelligence that's caused us to do things like, you know,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: accidental obomba school with children in it. So Scott forbid
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: iran Ou Obamba schools are one hundred and seventy of
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: our little school children in it. This country would you'd
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: see a hornet's nest or like a pit pipers would
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: be for the rest of our lives. We would annihilate
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: that country, you know. But what he did we lost
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: General Donia and you know how I feel about christ Donnie.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: General Donney was a family to me. He is and
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: he isn't just another forced our General Pete Hesset forced
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: out General Donnie after forcing out General Randy George, who
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: was an icon, the leader of the army. There the
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: chief Staff.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Oh wait, I see I knew about Randy George. I
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: don't know he forced out Donnie one was this just
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: four days ago? Said? Oh my god, God.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: He reduced his command from a four star command, he's
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: a forced law general to a three star command. And
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: then when Donnie agreed to go elsewhere, he blocked all
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: those attempts for CD General Donnie to go.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: El Is he doing all this? He is he doing
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: all this because he's paranoid? What's his problem?
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: He's clearly threatened by Generald donniey because General Donnie is
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: almost like a Hollywood action figure warfighter. Okay, he also
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: has alliances with people like General Lennie. We put into
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: a position that I don't think he's qualified for. That
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: many people don't feel he was qualified for. That's his friend.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: General Donnie fired General Lenie ten years ago, and sort
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: of General George. But here's what I have to say.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: And you've got to give me a second just to
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: get this, because you viewers need to understand the gravity
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: of this. General Doniue isn't simply another force general. He
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: is the most decorated combat leader of our generation. He
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: was a ranger leader, he was the Delta Force commander.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: He was commander of an eighty second anborn commander of
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: the eighteenth Airbon Corps. He is NATO's senior land commander
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: in all of Europe. He's been deployed more than twenty
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: times in defense of this country. Said in the most
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: absolutely most treacherous deployments, he destroyed single handling. Now, of
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: course he had his troops, but he was the one
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: who destroyed isis. He basically strengthened NATO against Rusian aggression.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: The Ukraine relied on General Donnie as much are allowed
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: on anyone in their military, anyone, okay. And he's widely considered,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: was widely considered to be the chief of Staff of
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: the Army, the future chief of staff of the Army.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: When a leader like that has shown the door without
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: any compelling military reason, every soldier in uniform notices, and
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: that's true concerned the American public, because I will tell
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: you this, until recently he was the next chief of
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Staff of the Army or even the chairman of the
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Joint Ship Staff. And he's without a doubt, the most
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: respected and most experienced senior leader the army has got.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: He has this, he's a front end conceptual thinker said,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: he's an experienced leader. He's got a human touch, which
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: in the army, by the way, is very important. He
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: inspires people. I've seen him inspire people. It's like I
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: want to drop to my knees when I'm in front
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: of this guy. He gets the most from soldiers and
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: he's been there and he's done it. And by the way,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: he's modest about it. He's modest about it. He's the
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: best soldier in the army today. That's doesn't come only
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: for me. Every retired general who's been in the last
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: two days been going crazy has said he's the best
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: soldier in the army day. His reputation is as great
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: as has been reported. And you know, the two groups
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: that are the most happy right now, the two groups
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: the Kremlin and every terrorist organization in the world. Because
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: who feared General don you? I had that from Russian intelligence.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: I mean there are people and that's known he feared.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Don you The terrorist organization bowed to him. He and
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: what he did with some of these you know, Taliban
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: guys is unbelievable. I know the facts. I know that
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: he basically threatened them that if they moved a muscle.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: He would annihilate that whole organization. They feared him, whutn't
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: feared him? We lost him, So that is not a
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: loss that we could really withstand it, I'll tell you.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: And and by the way, the people who really really
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: support General do as an army person, you have William mccraven,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Admiral mccraven, the guy who you know was Seal Team
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: six with the ban Laden hit. He said that Donnie
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: was the most brilliant officer he knows. You know. General Thomas,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: special Operations commander, said he's a generational leader. Okay, General Cabali,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: the is the best generals we've had, says General Donniu
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: is almost like a comic book hero, without a doubt,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: the most experience war fighter we have in the US Army.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: And now he is gone.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: He's gone.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: I mean he has more awards, he's decorated more than anyone.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: He has five Bronze Stars, three Legion of Medal, Merit medals,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: to Defense Superior Service Medals. I mean, every war we've
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: been in since nine eleven, he's there and he's gone.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: And it kills me because not only is he the
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: greatest leader we had, I know him personally. I've spent
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: a lot of time in Germany with him. He's one
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: of the greatest human beings I've ever met, pollectual, Yet
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: he's fears as a family man. What he does is
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: I can't. I don't want to get to his personal stuff.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: But this guy, what he's done for people is my mother.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: And I was moved so much this week, So upset
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: said that, you know, I'd like to think I don't
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: really have to peers out there anymore, but he came
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: there and and it's it's just it's disgusting to me
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: because he is someone who's done so much for this
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: country and was basically discarded by its armor where he
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: gave his whole life from West Point on he gave
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: his whole And we're hurting right now. We're hurting, and
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: the army is hurting because everyone's saying, my god, don
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: you was kicked out. DONI Like, he's like the modern
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: day General pattent Okay, and he's kicked out. So it's
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: really shaking the army right now. It's particularly a special
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Force community from which he hels, and it's it's it's struggling, said,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: it really is. And so p tex says we have
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: now twenty four. We're up to twenty four senior leaders
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: who have been shown the door, you know by pe
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Texas twenty four Brandy Joe when asking Conners, why did

• 17:13
  Speaker 1: tells the truth. He tells the truth. A lot of
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: people are up Pete Hegseth's airs because Fox News and
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Trump loves him. But on this show, you know, John
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: katzmatit's always talks about w ABC is about the truth.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: There's no show on this station that does that more
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: than us. No show comes close. There's a lot of
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: bias on this station. Trust me, I'm biased towards Trump too.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: But you're not gonna hear on this show We've won
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: the war. You're not gonna hear that. Pete Hegseth is
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: doing an amazing job. You're not gonna hear it. You're
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: not gonna hear that, Mom, Donnie is smart, You're not
