July, during this
the last about forty minutes. Trump talked about the twenty sixteen
presidential race and appeared to confuse his then opponent, JEB bush with former president george w bush
The know the beauty was when I came here, everyone thought bush was gonna win and then they took a pole and they found out. Tromp was up by about fifty

Right for the disk, it's a couple things here. First, there's a lot discussion,
president binds age and whether or not he seems to be your slipping at all. What are you still up for the job, and there was a moment last week were eyebrows arrays were at the at a fundraiser, the
and had in new york city. He told the same story twice, seemingly, not remembering he told the first time that said present
and has been able to do the job, and his record speaks for itself as aids are very quick to point that out. I think we ve been
Donald trump past too much because he's always sort of frankly spoken. Like a crazy.
Listen it many times. Have you read? The transcripts of speeches are very hard to follow and ease. He saw all over the place. It's tough too,
and down what he actually means, but these red flags
verbal missteps, have only picked up in the last few weeks. In your right, I mean, though, the windmills,
Well, things are not the world war, two, not from reference. Last week we had this one confusing the bushes,
list goes on and on and on and one
I wonder as much as pull suggested: voters don't care as much about trumps aged and binding
he is only three years younger than president Biden and if bind is going to question about his fitness for the job and voters should take this
look at trump, who has been all over the place in recent weeks and seems to be in its social media post, reflect this too, under increasing pressure and strain from all the criminal cases and aid.
Say that as well. That is weighing on a much more than he'd like to portray
That's the real point here is a job for all the the lad. I mean the whale thing was bizarre said the the
Windmills are driving whales, crazy, so they're watching themselves up on the shore rejecting any guys right, yeah projecting a, but as this is a man not only who is,
it's in years. Clearly, as you watch those performances, but he's got

checking himself on well. So yes donald, it's the well sewer crazy right now. There is a well set up by think about this. Then

Firstly, what are you talking about and he got did him George

no. I think that too. I think that george w bush is the one republican who could have undercut this populism. He worried about the populism
he talks about how the what

unfolding crisis and its tiring
Who wants to wake up and think about donald trump more, except for donald trump, of course? Well, John, if I didn't know this isn't what we I listened our tat. I want to talk a couple of specific worthy john first of all he's talking about
the execution of mark milly
chairman of the joint chiefs of staff said he would have been executed in priority simply because, Martin
he wasn't going along with his plan to overthrow the government and, and yesterday he ranted that he was going to take over NBC and MSNBC. If he one day twenty twenty four election, he was ranting.

this political phrase that he outlawed the use of it and he said
in the end be seen emerson, museums should be investigated for country threatening treason. So here we go.
John in
Today's he threatens tat, says the the
chairman joint chiefs problem should be executed.
And then he says that the new
at work that that is most critical of him should be taken off the air.
this is not a reach. I can go back and talk about nazi germany and I do it do it without any concern
whatsoever and people can start drawing the parallels? Well, you're, just
better. You have your head in the sand. Are you
on a vampire, but I'd rather look at Orban and, what's
not a day and a hungry, because what he's done? It's been systematic. He started with the public
the entire stations took them over.
They became voices and arms of the state Veni started going over the newspapers he had here.
Basically, he regulated or are taxed
one independent newspaper after another independent newspaper out.
Of existence. One hundred percent of the newspapers there are basically state one step,

broadcast to eighty percent are basically or minds
they'll, he's he's got he's got almost complete.
control over the news media, they said:
the message for them to follow- and they all follow It- there is no freedom of speech and hungry, and so
do. I think the donald trump can be allowed to line people up against the wall and shoot them, though he'd like to a no doubt. I know him and I've known him for a long time in and we can see this he would like to hear not going to be allowed to, but if he said
I'm gonna take the effie and I'm going to bring in the white house and I'm going to decide who is going to be
tv and who is not going to be on tv live have that is something that Republicans. Fifty percent of americans are supporting him right now, despite the fact that stills nuclear secrets in stills war plans- and he says, he's going to terminate the constitution so sure that letting shut
tv stations that
where we are dead, dead, deter
eight, the constitution. That's that's the key phrase here it that's. What.
He says he wants to do, and then there are the folks who say that people like
the two of us, so that all of us our view with the weak
came to literally not seriously,
Where do we start a mob attacked? The cat
the united states to overturn a free and fair election, the present
states pressured.
Shows in the various states to find him votes so that he
would win. So that's not hyperbole
That's nice, cable, news, liberal fury in the morning. It's just true and if you,
handle lad. Then the
higher experiment is at risk. Anytime
spare, is at risk.
It may sound overly
grand or dramatic, no but
As you are saying, it's just the case, and I dont think we do
you ourselves no favours whatever. In pretending that
these are not live. Use. A fancy word
liberal, anti democratic and constitutional forces that he Donald trump embodies probable gates.
And this whole after that the constitution should think about this- the constitution,
if the numbers are even remotely true is gonna. Come
to a couple of hundred thousand people in five states bribe. That's that's
we are and so to some extent the appeal has to be
If you are one of these folks in
michigan and pennsylvania in arizona. If you're there think about it,
do you want to terminate the constitution, and if you do you
be sure your teams always gonna, be in power, because now
Why did the law is that it protects

and in the power why what's being used right now by trappers
could be used twenty years from now by people.

some crazed, indeed
the billionaire who decides to run for office. No. Where were we
checks and balances. Today in the united states, more than ever before and donald trump ones
blow down the doors on every check and every battle
Many times too, we need to learn what does
need to say how much you are. There doesn't need to go. Where you mean you look it do. You know, if
with these Paul's half of american still supporting I'd love to talk domin loved, to figure out why this boredom? Now they have no gonna answer. I'm sorry did Joe Biden
also, I am going to vote for the guy. You says he's going to terminate the constitution to execute the chairman of the joint see outside our travel. Steel and steal nuclear seek,
since steel now and and and be accused of rape by
a judge, you said he raped a woman, I mean it,
We pay the illegal pay off still porn star hoo hoo

the terror that he couldn't declassify. I so
should be showing nobody showed him anyway, I mean that's, who people want
somebody instilling nuclear secret. Somebody who wants to terminate the cat well, that's where we
right now www. I will say again following up on you
what john said he talked about illiberal
mark receiving said in that wasn't too much of our age
there again going back to Orban, as you know, hungry easily,
whereby, after stripping
power away from the press after stripping power away from from the judiciary
He say he said western democracy doesn't work western demand
proceed doesn't work. We are proud,
to be an ill liberal democracy and that's where they are that's where they keep
that's where Donald trump will take the united states of america if elected and he's just the kind of leader, the donald trump has
recently touted him? Vladimir Putin came jungle and with the love letters he likes that kind of guy he wishes. He could be that kind of guy and eighty two,
the echo of john and Joe, and make all the said. We gotta believe the guy. This isn't two thousand fifteen, where he's a game show host up they're, telling jokes and its amusing in some ways, because it could never happen
he shown that he could try to do a while. He was present, and we know that if these elected again
will be a lot easier form. Do a whole bunch of this stuff, because there'll be no general kelly
they'll, be no general milly they'll be no general matters to be no people whose first principle is to protect the country in the constitution, and the democracy will be to serve this guy. So when he talks about wanting to execute mark
Ellie way talks about terminating the constitution. Let's not forget. He asked his attorney
to arrest his opponents in october of twenty twenty job.
Before the election. These are
things he fantasizes about it. Will be
easier for him to carry out of his electorate gap. Absolutely the guard rules of god and the way
His rhetoric sets the stage to increase the intensity of our political season, and it actually, I think, increases the spectre
islands right. So when he says you know back in the day general milly could be.
executed he's actually sending messages out there? It's a kind of my boss, kind of formulation and then Paul gosar will echo it right, and so
think is really important and Joe makes an interesting point are an important point that the binding administration, the bag and care
pain has to go after it, but they have to do it in such a way that they dont wind up. Looking like Dukakis in a damned take right
how to do it in their law in their lean, but we have to begin to hit the threat head off, because it's not just simply policy is existence. Its vis,
it's in the gut, and what john is saying has to be interpreted in a way that it hits the surly hits
our two years now, officials, law enforcement officials, garment fishes and warn me they really afraid of the thought of political violence heading into this
election here, particularly with these indictments against tromp, and one wonders this seemingly frame

It was a violent trumps gag water as well that that could be held against him up a gentle to the point

The new yorker this week is Biden, tromp Pelosi Mcconnell all for obvious and your citizens, not a flattering look but the fear

course that you are making the same points for trot now Joe thanks reserved talk. Why is it that way,
it's also it's also the biggest issue. That's their so any have lingering environment. We started talking about it more, which I think is an and joking about whether the president himself points out haven

I'd be having an impact, as you can always you notice the stuff about hotter might be having an impact that suggests
you should be fighting back. You don't have to use a president for that. This. There are sir good. Sir peoples.
go on television, who are not the president back me, making the points that Joe did earlier now for
pride in it, but I think the also the way that the white house is looking at this, as we have thought
in the months between now and november and the election in two thousand twenty four to recreate
create a new majority,
well listen that will vote for by then, and they think what you
to do now. Is you need to make sure those people know that there is a good reason to vote for Joe Biden, because everything is accomplished and will do not just because trump is bad and if you just do trump as bad, that's going to drag every.
Be down and make everybody feel like their choices are bad and they want people to feel good about this choice and they want to do that work now. I think you can do both things at once. I,
you can do that. Work is by the way, a lot of that happens and through digital ads or other kinds of communication and the press
Can we talk about what you know today is going to be way w. He can really kit really hard. First present united states to go to picket line
it's a it's a sacrament for the for union workers. For for president to do that,
and yet trump really hard, but what he didn't do as president to help these people on substance
and then you can have other people that are making this argument about how incredibly unfit that he is
Did you great point all I will say,
What I learned very quickly in politics is
if you run away from an attack ad
If you run away from his hack, you lose it always catches you from behind. You
always lose it,
go right into the attack.
Any use it and palm away
and turn it against your opponent. You wear
I've seen it happen time and time again
I remember being attacked and ninety ninety six for being
part of those mean republicans who cut medicare and
well. I spent hundreds of millions of dollars attacking republicans who cause medicare, even though, even though
the medicare atrocities and we had to lower the rate of growth, automatic care, or else he would go
bankrupt in seven years, so
You did the right thing. My friends
freshmen that you're with me. They ran
way from the attack. I ranch
I didn't, do it and after being attacked a month
This debate, I send you know what every debate from now on, I'm not going to talk about education, I'm not going to talk about defence, I'm not going to talk about nineteen. Many talk about why I had to lower medicare costs.
That's all I'm gonna talk about win or lose. I don't really care cause. I'm gonna you're, not
be able lie about me, and so I did it
the entire campaign. I told this story to some people on the show before right before the

and two more raises unopposed by

I think they need to go straight into the fire and
we're Joe Biden. I wouldn't let

brok obama that question cosette. So we think these run and against this year, are things about the republican party
I don't know, but talk to donald trump
Judge me, george, w bush and twenty sixteen says he beat brok obama twenty sixteen I mean
you gotta hammer it hammer it a hammer and then after that
you can turn and actually tell people.
Well, you don't, but I

Pretty why? What well right now in the economy is now.
we're going down because this he

on the right side of those they got that can find this head on.
Because this proves has succeeded in his
rick ways if you look at the mid term,
action. If you look at by partisan
legislation that is passing it on more than any present this century. You will get a lot of economic
data its positive, they they look, it
wine, and they hear what republicans and fox news and donald proper saying all the time that, like
You still all the instilled. This way,
a vital nation anymore, they've gotta fight that head on. So I think that I mean that you know he did last week right. He did, but it it just. It can't all be gone. The president right that that
I part they like he moves to. He needs to be president, and he can't take it
on all data trump to be as a candidate and donald
was acting as if the general election is started and it, and when that, when that happens, then you need people other than the president. That are you know
We must then be sea and all other other cable networks that are hammering these arguments and in it just a big. They can't have it all just rest on

chairman who, whose it was in the best, shape
to win the elections next year and right now, everything is breaking against the president,
because you're his team. I do expect the present do this by himself. He's gotta he's got a big thing: they need to start
focusing on donald trump and screw by now makes

That's an argument that the president has made, but in private to donors who was here last week in new york for the, u n and an event on Broadway, he was very explicit doing it effectively. What you just said, which is this dump this election is
democracy. If this guy wins we're gonna lose what we ve had in this country. For two hundred and forty years and Joplin marries China walk that. Why look at all the stuff, I've done? Here's the economy, here's record, low unemployment, etc. We can go down the list, but also explain this.

Where do you hear another pulling his fitness? Is he fit for office? Is? Is Joe Biden fit for office? Well, in his case, that's a physical question. I guess
four donald trump. Their question could be ass in terms of is this a man who should be sitting in the white house again, given everything we know he's done and now he's telling us he plans to do get a moral question is certainly to your point. The president has wrapped up his attacks on trumped somewhat
recent weeks more in those privates- were a small donor. So
I was in a few last week here in new york when he made that same case, but not disappoint Joe again, but the
close to the say that his campaign is not gonna really ramp up until early next year, but this is the disease
pacing issue for him. But it's also. They feel that right.
Now the best thing they could do is simply be president and that therefore, let

autoworkers, but it's gonna be a slow wrap up for this team. I mean, I think,
a lot to be said for that that there's a strategy there he does have to do the business of being president. I think that there is another republican debate coming up, hopefully on shore. They will do some of their own work for them at some point. They have to compete against trumpet any of them want to get

Instead of going about Joe

The picture of washington another dreary day, it's been raining eddie for what five consecutive days here in the new york area, it's enough yeah. It says enough already six forty in the morning here on the east coast,
over in jersey, senator Bob Menendez is refusing to step down, even as a growing number of Democrats are calling on him to resign. Senator Menendez held a press conference yesterday where he said he has no plans.
give up his senate seat and denied any wrong doing new jersey lawmaker also attempted to
playing. The nearly five hundred thousand dollars in cash prosecutors said was found in
his home, stuffed in envelopes and hidden in clothing. For thirty years I have withdrawn thousands of dollars in cash from my personal savings account, which I have kept for emergencies and because of the history of my family facing confiscation in cuba. Now this may seem old fashioned, but these were monies
long from my personal savings account based on the income that I have lawfully derive over those thirty years. I look forward to addressing other issues
Meanwhile, two more senate Democrats have called on an end as to resign. Senator shared brown of ohio said in his statement quote so
man end, as has broken the public trust and should resign from the: u S, senate and senator,
peter welsh of vermont set in part. The shocking
in specific allegations against Senator Menendez have compromised his capacity to be an effective
senator and last night in an appearance on inside with Jen saki speaker
Nancy Pelosi, also call them and end as to step down by comparing this
relation to indicted republican congressmen of new york, george sent us if we
I would like to say that if you're indicted
should resign. We have a situation in the house, owes you
the state of new york, that that would hold too
but right now, sadly, because of the challenges that we face, because
kept a system that exist in our country about governance, about this republican party that doesn't believe them
in its doesn't believe in science, so wants to take down.
Everything in order to give tax breaks to the wealthiest, we ve got to say
focused on that and for that reason that probably be a good idea. If you did this time,
so Nancy palazzo, calling I'm an end as to resign via the near opposed, not buying the argument from senator Menendez that he had all that stuff. Hidden began. History: cuba,
export. Oh yes, Joe due to the fact that you have an underground, yes
you're full of gold bars at a settlement- and I said just for a rainy day well in that
That's me, I've got to go, but on one side, because I was in atlanta braves fan- and you know we- winters
the brave boy ally and we're like give that painting it be that badly.
To say that the authorities want common
it says that we get our money. Then I get the goal
Bars right
oh bars, are really heavy
at times I do curls with them. You know, because I want to be in shape and every thing you can do a lot exactly sail along with gold boulier and got these go
bars find those because I've been in atlanta falcons fancies. Nineteen sixty six and you see them getting slaughtered on the field and you just sit there go on well. That could happen to them. That get out,
may show is cuba? Is cuba? Explanation makes per
accent started when the falcons gave up the twenty eight to three lead in the super bowl. You went out and bought a bunch of survival seeds. It started to get weird. After all, I had to listen. I go in back and personally are great and and a brinks truck survival said dumper there Glenn, so the survival seed but yeah they are fifteen.
no really there's gonna know this argument is no dahmer, then then by
when does saying I'm,
from cuba so yeah. I keep gold bars and beyond in cash in my house
come on willie come on
Are you John?
best, for the indictment is the detail that, after sentiment has received the gold bar his google.
Purchased, reveals heed the world. How much the goal of our work
So
Does the senator who has gotten out of trouble for faces a a tougher hilda.
And this time already, and I think it is interesting that
started to cease and democrats pressure him to resign. There's a couple days: silence senator futterman was the first to
they are now. We have set your welsh from four months as well, as we heard from former how speaker pollution
center brown from ohio, starting to have some names at that ross
the white house has said theirs, they acknowledged this is a serious accusations, but they're going to stay out of it. For now we don't even get half a million dollars. You have the gold bars. You have the the influence pedals,
at least it seemed with Egypt all this against the backdrop of the crisis
we face as a democracy, whether it's an ethics issue or whether as a criminal issue given
crisis we face as a country he has to step down. It seems to me to ask
well. I mean you know. The crazy thing is weaker me. Nobody, here's old enough to remember this may by when we
The arab scale
I'll see you
actually have members of congress that with kate cash, and they would shove it in there.
And so much that they were out. They looked like the michelin man when they were like
leaving the office and when they were busted by the fbi, they said no, no, no, no we're just kinda
in our own interview, our investigation and that's that's one minute
as I have to say, zero democrats are stepping out- and I think it shows at this very difficult time, jan, that inner democrats can see things
put political affiliation aside and if something appears to be untoward
unethical and not what the job?
as in washington, they say
It is, and we have some really powerful democrats calling on him to step down first, while I have to
a shout out in the morning, Joe DJ for plain dark this on the edge of town leading into the from springsteen leaving them.
Segment about the jersey, the jersey senator I mean that was, and they didn't even play the lyrics adjusted the music and with like nuanced, it was just all it was so good. Don't forget, governor phil murphy, governor phil,
figures like melendez of actual governor on friday.
came out and said that that he should resign, but I dont think you know just
as far as as trump is not you know, I dont think monotonous is gonna resign, just as from continues
campaign and run for present
and under indictment, because you know the you know if he's proven himself, not to really be a man of integrity, and this is if he, if he,
resigns it's it's some problems, its
he presented the admission of guilt, and you know he's been down
before he doesn't seem to care about it. You know, hurts confidence in the in the senate and her confidence and public officials. So I don't know it's good that people are holding him again,
well this way, but I don't know that you actually do it yeah
So congress returns to washington this morning with less than five days to reach an agreement to avert a government shut down how speaker Kevin Mccarthy
still faces and upheld battle as hard right comes
it is, and his party are looking to use the shut down as love
edge for spending cuts. Meanwhile, the senate will begin moving.
Had with its own short term solution. Let's bring it
and busy news capital Hell, correspondent, ally, Vitaly alley. What's the latest, your hearing
negotiation. So far he added
better news than what I brought to you yesterday mika the idea that law makers, even though they worked over the weekend on the house, I don't seem any closer to a true consensus. We did hear from speaker Mccarthy yesterday.
who continue to sound notes of optimism. I think we can be fascinating this week, though, is yes watching the ways that majority still tries to heard the cats within his
friends, but also seeing the ways that they end of interacting with this Senate plan that schumann
and other key leaders are still trying to cobble together. I was told that staff on the set aside are still working through the night to try to come to what this agreement could look like and again we're talking about a continuing resolution here. Something of a just keep the lights on
for an extra thirty or maybe forty five days to buy these folks. Some time
actually do these appropriations bells? They are not fast processes here,
Why there in the time buying business, but if Mccarthy were to take this lifeline that this set it could extend to him. Yes, it would help me government funding, front
No, it would not help him in terms of actually keeping his job, because just the very word
genuine resolution or a sea are, as we short ended up. The hill is something that could have several of his members, including mac.
aids trigger emotion, to vacate fire him from his job and then you're back into chaos. Standpoint. I think that's the thing that I'm generally
in mind here- is that the shot down as one piece of this, but the back half of it is the open question of if Mccarthy will keep his job and look. Let me rest
good question this morning on way too early. If not mccarthy, then who I'll tell you what I mean
ten which, as I have no idea, but the chaos and results of these conservative men
This is truly the point and that's chaos, certainly in the house.
What are some veterans that you have spoken to say, they are worried about facing greater difficulties in getting a hare within an already strain
systems are certainly they'll, be
ok ass, if there's a shut down or if there are major cuts. What more you hearing yeah! That's exactly right mika, because, while the political chaos is
thing that we often focus on here shutdowns. Our backs,
for americans, I've covered so many of these, not in washington outside the belt way. People are really hurting and here's the thing shutdowns make things worse because they cause new problems, but they can also make old problems
in more dire than they already are watch his daughter. I voted for this planet back in two thousand and three
it took tino adopt a more than two decades to get a newbie clinic at his home town of Stockton. California, I used to go to meet, is started jargon about a. Hopefully we will open up before were pushing up issues,
it's not just about getting a new facility for open dockers, horoscope.
this rural community about an hour from San francisco, false prey to a national trend veterans,
struggling to access healthcare, because there aren't enough providers to see them. We have the longest wait times anywhere in california. If you're in Stockton, you have to wait eighty or even ninety days, even one hundred days, I talked to a veteran recently who wasn't able to get a refill on his diabetes. Medication
he ended up losing his leg. Harder says that here the number of working primary care positions have been cut in half just this year alone. As of twenty twenty two more than twenty five hundred vehicle,
quality is face severe occupational shortages of twenty two percent increase from a year before and those that are the results.
backlog wait times and rarely returned inquiries are wide. Dozens of veterans like a dummy, as well as caregivers, like leslie, starts pact.
In this town hall on a friday afternoon. Here has
Vietnam, bad
beside disabled before the corona virus pandemic? Her husband's care was consistent with this system.
They worked very well and then, when carbon happen, everything just change, enemy call concern was never answer. Sear, basically playing a game of telephone with their has scare. Yes
local v is working to alleviate staffing shortages with increased physician pay, while expanding at
to tell her how California, here to help you today we're here to help you monday, tuesday, whenever there overloaded there's a lot of red tape,
harder petitioning the administration in Washington, for how will time but in action from congress, could make this worse. What does this VFW town hall have to deal with the government funding fight? I think this
a little bit of a canary in the coal mine, and not only would it not fix it, it's going to make it a lot worse and in the meantime, operating we know what we've done in the military. The government promised one thing, but it's not fulfilling and look you
heard. What tino said there at the end of our pc calls it heartbreaking to know that he served and now these
institutions that are supposed to serve him are doing anything. But I will say
arteries trying to in this funding fight, put an amount
when, in the vienna appropriations bell, that would better study it. Just the scope of this issue. You gotta understand a problem.
we can stop start solving it, but certainly, while petitioning the vizier he's trying to do that, but again it further
happen at the vienna level. This only makes a bad thing worse, mika
