Hear what the other side is actually saying.

❝He began a rally at Bedminster right after one of his indictments saying he was going to appoint a real special prosecutor, that was the phrase, to go after the Biden family.

❝But because of the way Trump 2.0 is constructed, no one really said this to him in these group meetings except for J.D.

❝It’s pretty remarkable, and it is an episode that in some ways cuts against what we now know about how Trump ended up taking this country to war, which was a theme that was reiterated for us. And this actually, this is other reporting that I had forgotten about, which was how Trump had had these interregnum conversations with Netanyahu in 2024 about how much tougher he was going to be on Iran.

❝Working people want to be able to get stuff done when they get home after work. When they change the time, it's dark by the time I get home. I can't mow the yard. I can't clean the pool. I can't do anything.

❝And the story culminates, I feel like I can spoil this plot since it's been out for a couple thousand years. The story culminates with Odysseus coming back home and killing all of these suitors.

❝It takes some liberties with the poem and I think it's less faithful than something like Peter Green's and less readable and beautiful than something like Robert Fagel's.

❝He is an anti-American, anti-government extremist. We know that from what he said. We know that from what he has said post-arrest.

❝Trump writing on Truth Social that expanded drilling would, quote, make the United Kingdom from a poverty-stricken disaster to one of the richest countries anywhere in the world.

❝President Trump responding, You mentioned that our Prime Minister has got one foot out the door. The new guy's coming in, Andy Burnham. What do you know about him, Mr. President?

❝In fact, Congresswoman Lisa McClain told my colleague Adam Wren for Playbook this morning that the message is going to be: we voted to lower your taxes. Every Democrat voted to raise your taxes. And they are crazy. They want communism. They hate this country. They hate what this country stands for. That's crazy.

❝And then he was allegedly using his position to silence people or threaten them when they threatened to report him either to legal authorities or to church authorities. This is something that his challenger, a businessman named Daniel Keenan, has made central to his kind of message. He's poured in more than almost $2 million of his own money to kind of make this front and center to voters.

❝An alleged sex scandal or Trump's endorsement, Trump's support? I talked to former Congressman Matt Salmon, who used to represent this district, and he said that he's never seen an endorsement more powerful than Trump's.

❝First up, President Trump imposed a 50% tariff on a variety of Canadian goods over what he describes as discrimination of American autos and other manufacturing goods and services.

❝America is no longer going to accept trade relations that this administration believes put American workers at any disadvantage. And by the way, this is what the majority of the American people voted for in the last presidential election.

❝So, did you deliberately look the other way to get the business and to help launder the money?

❝A lot of things bothers me about this. Nothing in particular. It's not like I'm out there saying big lie or a conspiracy or someone did it. I'm just saying I've been in a lot of shootings. I've killed more than a handful of people, and this thing looked shady off the bat. I mean, just I've killed people closer than I saw the camera, and I've never seen a shirt move like that. That looks like an explosion to me.

❝I think it was never even actually a towel that we saw in the footage that the rooftop jogger, the rooftop sprinter had. I think it was likely a black jacket, just as the person who recorded described.

❝And right now, it is the assassination of my friend Charlie Kirk.

❝Arizona was ground zero for election denial in the aftermath of the 2020 election. Now, six years later, it's still a theme in the state's politics. Voters head to the polls tomorrow.

❝There were a lot of election deniers running for statewide office, and they performed slightly less well than their counterparts who didn't carry that message.

❝And so they're really just parroting the president's policy positions.

❝Like, that's insane. It should be illegal, actually.

❝The left just hates America. They don't like this country.

❝And, you know, I think that Ilhan Omar is frankly foreign interference by our enemies.

❝There was no NATO, neutrality for Ukraine, self-determination for the Donbass. But that was ready to sign, and it would have been signed, I'm almost certain, if it hadn't been for Boris Johnson. no doubt with Biden's support, actually going across and persuading Zelensky to fight Russia and that he would have all the support he needed.

❝Why do American leaders seek a war with Russia? I mean, these are not stupid people, and yet they are hell-bent on destroying their own countries in the service of this war against a country that doesn't need to be our enemy.

❝I wouldn't if I were in the United States.

❝I'm going to name a bunch of things that used to get you kicked out of polite society...Teaching those same young men that all women are trash and whores. You know, people who did such things, things like this, used to be unwelcome...

❝Last night, the UK, a corrupt and fallen nation that jails its own citizens for tweets while ignoring rape gangs it found too inconvenient to prosecute, conjured up a wave of charges against the Tate brothers. This is not law enforcement. This is a political hit ordered by a dying empire that fears two free men with a microphone more than it fears actual criminals walking its streets.

❝Draw some damned borders. I'm gonna say it again: draw some damned borders, because if you do not police your gates, the barbarians will enter those gates.

❝From food to fuel, healthcare to heating, everyone's feeling the pain. Our CBS News poll says that seven in 10 Americans say they are frustrated or even angry with the administration's approach to the economy. At a moment when inflation and affordability are on everyone's mind.

❝But the way Greer explains it, the U.S. needed to start taking unilateral action against China, or else it would have just lost more and more of its manufacturing base to China. If America doesn't develop and implement its own policies to protect its industry and its workers, we will end up being policy takers, right? So if we're not policy makers, we end up being policy takers.

❝At the end of the day, we are winning and changing the trade policy. We're winning and getting the trade deficit down. We're winning and reshoring. We're winning in wages. We're winning on all these things.

❝I have to say, you know, President Silva, President Todd, I don't think that you would be, you know, jettisoning your allies in Europe and creating chaos and your intelligence services if you didn't want something bad to happen to your country.

❝We ought to be putting the screws to Vladimir Putin right now. We should not be trying to. This is a huge opportunity. It's a gigantic opportunity.

❝Those people are crazy. I stay down here in my little place.

❝I believe that the Democratic Party is going to become more anti-Israel. As long as we continue to do that, you make that official and you make that part of our platform. That's my red line in the Democratic Party.

❝Because when your biggest secret is that everybody knows you’re a mess, the NDA is already too late.

❝Our city is turning the corner on tenant power. When we organize, we win results. The Momdani administration is emboldening us so that we no longer tolerate the violence of evictions as a matter of business as usual.

❝Part of it is because I'm not sure the voters care about character anymore. I have a chapter in my book called Character Doesn't Count.

❝Because in politics, what we've done is we've essentially said that almost like winning is more important than character.

❝Donald Trump has more influence over the church than any pastor I know of in America.

❝This week, the guardrails came back off in the Middle East, and I think it's the most consequential national security story of the year so far.

❝And so during COVID, I got tired of hearing all the negative comments from the media people, political leaders who were disparaging the country, who were telling us how bad America was, how our children and grandchildren could not have better lives than we had. And all of a sudden, one day, I got to thinking that with Providence direction, it was the American Do spirit in our forebears who built this great country and who’ve given it to us. And it's our responsibility to preserve it and perpetuate it to the next generation.

❝Too often, we allow people's negativity toward us stop us from pursuing those dreams, and it leaves us empty and bitter because we stopped and didn't pursue it. The pain of regret is much greater than the pain of failure.

❝Tonight, I'm announcing the immediate declassification and release of critical intelligence, revealing shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure.

❝He was not defeated in 2020 by Joe Biden.

❝And basically, Donald Trump only stopped from sending out this letter because his entire class of political appointees at the Justice Department came into him in an extraordinary scene on Sunday before January 6th, meeting in the Oval Office, and his entire political appointees, all Republicans, said they would all quit en masse if he went ahead with that plot.

❝He convinced Blackfish that if they left the settlement alone for the winter, he would personally accompany the Shawnee back to the settlement in the spring and persuade the residents to surrender peacefully.

❝A few days later, the enemy force appeared.

❝Change, after all, was something they could believe in until it was too late.

❝In terms of the film and television production and the entertainment ecosystem, which is something that I've been a part of, the real sort of, and if I want to go back to using the word nefarious, looking back at it, it does seem a little nefarious. It actually seems very anti-American. It seems like corporate greed selling out the welfare of the United States of America for a buck.

❝We have to have a divorce from China. We have to decouple.

❝And Uplift is an AI technology that allows people to feel a trust in the information that they're getting because the guidance they're getting from the AI inputs that they give, the output is spiritual guidance that comes directly from scripture.

❝America is not okay. And we all know that.

❝You know why? Because we’re here because the biggest crybaby and the biggest sore loser in all of human history is not big enough, is not man enough, is not decent enough, and is not patriotic enough to simply accept an election loss.

❝That's a middle finger to our democracy when you do that.

❝They are innocent until proven guilty.

❝And two, what do you think about the defense's strategy overall last week? The defense is doing a very solid job from my perspective, and they've been fighting tooth and nail throughout this entire case, not only at the preliminary hearing, but even before we got here, they were filing motions right at the outset to keep the media out, to keep audio recordings out, to really lock this trial down, probably in part because they know that a lot of the evidence is going to be just damning facially.

❝The defense's job is not to prove Tyler innocent, and they don't actually have to give evidence for alternative theories. They don't have to say, No, we think this guy did it, and here's our case for that guy.

❝Trump called Scaramucci into his office. He asks, Anthony, can we break up Amazon? And he says, I hate this son of a bitch, Jeff Bezos, and I hate the Washington Post.

❝And the president told one of those people that he wanted to see Bezos benefit. And you would think that the president was sort of not being involved in those sorts of decisions, but this has been, you know, we’ve written other stories about this, that the president is getting involved at other agencies and is really much more hands-on.

❝I think it's pretty remarkable to have a sitting president say that they want government business directed one way or another based on the current stance of one's relationship with those business leaders.

❝Are you and President Trump friends? I'm his lawyer, was his lawyer, and I'm the Deputy Attorney General.

❝I was there to let her know you keep your mouth shut. You play ball with Donald Trump and the administration. We will take care of you.

❝Because I'm telling you, on the 5th, the 6th, the 10th, the 12th, the 15th of November, we could be in some real shit where every election that a Democrat won in this country is called into question and is called corrupt because that's how Donald Trump wants it to be. And he's put in place the people who will do that.

❝These hearings were kind of exercises in how much loyalty can I show to Donald Trump.

❝So he was asked about his responsibilities. He was asked about how he sees his responsibilities. And he said, Well, I am the president's lawyer. I am Trump's lawyer.

❝You can't be the peace-loving end-forever war negotiator and then go on Rogan and try to sell the Trump administration's policies. That sort of good cop, bad cop stuff doesn't really work. You're either with Trump or you're against Trump.

❝Yeah, it's a serial killer. We do the psych and background checks, of course.

❝But yeah, back on the going above and beyond, that's kind of my whole thing is like, why make content that isn't great? And we just ask ourselves, how do we make the best content possible as opposed to, you know, how do we make the most money possible?

❝If I weren't the biggest, biggest YouTuber in the world, if I were, here's a crazy sentence that I do believe to be true: if I stopped caring about this issue and did nothing, then them 1.5 million kids in illegal child labor, I guarantee you it wouldn't change at all.

❝Vance admitting that, yeah, we mishandled the Epstein files for sure. Trump regime, we mishandled it.

❝Vance calls out Israel and calls out the influence operation that Netanyahu and Israel run in the United States.

❝He said, of course, we will support the results of a free and fair election. And we're not going to challenge the results at the midterm.

❝The film the establishment doesn't want people to see has gone viral. American flag emoji.

❝Vancouver is an expensive shithole that needs to get cleaned up.

❝If so, I want them evicted.

❝You decide in your mind whether or not you think these comments that he made about Gorsuch and Kavanaugh and others is a threat or not. You’ve released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won't know what hit you.

❝It is deplorable. And those threats, make no mistake, come from the radical left. And it's fueled by the rhetoric of rage that has proliferated from the mouths of politicians in Washington.

❝Every socialist government has done that. They take the leadership that got them there and wipe them out and replace them with robots is what they do. And tyrants. It always, whatever name they ascribe to it, whatever manifestation it takes on, it always ends the same way.

❝They have maybe Israel. They have the best player for our school. A lot of people behind those.

❝I'm going to be coming to a bunch of cities at the end of the year to do stand-up comedy. I would love for you guys to join me. I'm going to Plano, Texas, Chandler, Arizona, Pasadena, California, San Diego, Detroit, and Salt Lake City.

❝But again, it's just like, it's just one, you would hope that he wasn't injured going in. There's a chance that his knee was compromised, like his elbow's been compromised or his leg isn't compromised.

❝Who am I? And what do I do with myself? Like, you know, not in a, not in a whiny way, but it just like kind of hit me like that.

❝I mean, I'm not going to meet a girl at a show. You know, I'm confined to the back, you know, on a bus, and I'm not going to meet a girl on Instagram.

❝So a positive, I think, would be the things that I do miss about that generation was like, they were hard workers. Yeah. You know, I always say I was kind of the last generation to like work with my dad. Like my buddies didn't.

❝Here's the headline. Lindsey Graham brushed off urgent medical advice with morbid joke hours before his death, according to Axios.

❝But is him saying, Yeah, you know, Lindsey Graham was great, but he said very briefly, Enough is enough after I tried to coup the government.

❝And in a moment like this, I think it's fair to honestly assess the legacy of someone who very famously was kind of the epitome of power over principle, who chose, even reportedly explicitly would say he was choosing, relevance over doing what's right, over standing up for a principle.

❝I think women should be playing in men's sports. Austin did. I can do more pull-ups than Caroline Cohen. And fuck you.

❝Anyway, I have what some might call almost a fascistic, disciplined, ordered structure in my household.

❝They thought he was misogynistic. Dude, he opens the door, winds whipping in. You know what to do.

❝So we're going to start with your most consistent form of pessimism, which is the idea that the decline of Christianity, the religion that both you and I share, will be bad, bad for America, bad for everybody, bad for the world.

❝But look at the effect when people had to fear that they might lose their job because they were on the wrong side of the ruling ideology or they said the wrong joke, et cetera. That's what totalitarianism is.

❝Yeah, I'm worried about Weimar America.

❝I think that we are heading moving into a genuinely multipolar world that looks a lot more like the 19th century than anything, or maybe even the early part of the 20th century than anything we've seen before. And that's a world in which every nation is basically for itself because nations can no longer rely on the United States to protect them.

❝Even the threat of terrorism from the Middle East region was a consequence of American involvement, not the reason for it. Had the United States not been deeply and consistently involved in the Muslim world since the 1940s, Islamic militants would have little interest in attacking an indifferent nation 5,000 miles and two oceans away.

❝And I think that with absent someone who is as megalomaniacal as Trump is and therefore willing to break everything, that movement, the movement that he represents now, is a spent movement.

❝The young republic attracted tens of thousands of emigres from the old world, Scotch-Irish, French, German, Welsh, and many more, some of whom hope to stay only a short time, others of whom hope to never leave.

❝But here in this case, as Justice Kavanaugh points out, basically the explicit intent of Title IX was to protect women's ability to participate in sports, and that was included at the debates during the congressional debates was intended to provide separate sports teams for men's and women's sports.

❝But, Cam, the argument for a long time from the right has been that this effort to get money out of politics has not succeeded. It has simply gotten money out of the parties where it is accountable and coordinated and into less accountable and less coordinated groups like these PACs and super PACs.

❝She said, fuck Kamala Harris, and Joe Biden is a rapist. So there is a woke mind virus, and I think we found patient zero.

❝But I do think that what the president has done is asked us to do something that, frankly, nobody in 47 years of dealing with the Iranians has done, which is offer them an opportunity to fundamentally transform how they behave with the West.

❝So, like, my recommendation is if you read a news story and it says something bad about me, you should disbelieve it. It's probably lying.

❝But the basic idea, and this has been in place for a long time, and it's a, you know, it's a congressionally mandated preference, is that, look, we think veterans are very valuable overall. And then, when we think, for example, about hiring, in addition to whatever skills and merit people bring to the job, we are expected and required to also give some preference to veterans above and beyond what kind of their score would be based just purely on the skills they bring to things. So, just to give you a quick sense, like in most hiring, not always, but most hiring, there's kind of a hundred-point scale at the end of the day where, you know, kind of we add up, you know, all the feedback we get from people and your qualifications.

❝We don't want people hired or fired because maybe they like the current president, maybe they don't like the current president like that. Those are not valid reasons. And I think we should certainly fight and protect those things.

❝The basic way to think about what we're trying to do in this new system is to say, look, the most important criteria for determining where you fall should be actual performance.

❝And he's talking about his father, and he calls him Daddy. He says, I know daddy's looking down at me from heaven, and I know I've been a failure. And he lists his own issues, you know, his addiction to sex, his various addictions.

❝And the anti-vaccine, you just had to look at his disclosures. You know, like when he went before the Senate, like he had to issue his disclosures. He was making a ton of money in referrals. So like $8 million or something?

❝In one diary, I counted 37 different women.

❝At one point, according to multiple witnesses, Anthony warned, touch me and find out. Several witnesses testified that Anthony already had his hand positioned inside his backpack at the time. Moments later, Austin shoved him. Anthony then pulled out a semi-serrated folding knife and stabbed Austin once in the chest.

❝Prosecutor Dewey Mitchell told jurors, this is not about vengeance. Then he added, it's not about leniency either. Mitchell asked jurors in Collin County, what's the price of taking a life?

❝Because beyond all the politics and daily headlines, this is still what America does better than anyone.

❝So as this was all going on, President Trump was, of course, briefed, and he had two reactions. First, strike back. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Trump was unsure, actually, at first, but the Pentagon chief, Hegseth, and the joint chiefs convinced him to strike back at Iran, saying that, no, look, if you don't, the Iranians won't learn a lesson, and they will continue to become more belligerent.

❝The entire continent is overrun by people who are unvetted, mostly from Arab or Muslim lands, who have zero interest in assimilating.

❝Here's what he said: quote: There will come a day that we will see far more radical extremists and terrorists coming out of Europe and the United States because of trying to be politically correct. Or they assume that they know about the Middle East and they know about Islam far better than we do.

❝As for today's news, the Texas primary confirmed last night that once again, President Trump is the strongest party boss in the modern era.

❝Iran and these people in charge of Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. And they will never have a nuclear weapon. And they most certainly will not have one as long as you're president of the United States. On that point, it's very clear.

❝When I read about this and other things Paxton has done, what I think is these don't really fit neatly into a red, blue, or a left-right or Republican-Democrat box. These issues might actually be where Paxton cuts into what you might think of as a sort of a core Democratic constituency, suburban moms and what have you, maybe people who aren't interested in politics all that much at all.

❝It's not just about IRS audits. It is that the U.S. will not bring any investigation, examination, civil claim, counterclaim, criminal claim, anything against Donald Trump, his family members, related or affiliated individuals, his companies, including trusts, parents, sister, related companies, affiliates, subsidiaries arising not only out of the matters that were part of this settled lawsuit, but also arising out of lawfare or weaponization, whatever the heck that means, and any manners, anything, any matters currently pending or that could be pending, including tax returns.

❝I have never seen the types of prosecutorial behavior before a grand jury that I saw in those transcripts.

❝But on the other hand, there are clearly people who've been hired purely based on a litmus test of loyalty to Donald Trump and potentially even ask questions like who won the 2020 election. I mean, there certainly has been reporting that those questions have been asked.

❝I think that this, as far as civic holidays that we celebrate as a country, there is no more important holiday than Memorial Day.

❝If 10,000 troops of the Continental Army are surrounded and annihilated and Washington is captured, the war is likely over.

❝The fundamental objective of containing communism in Asia was spot on.

❝In my political life, which now for some reason goes back 35 years of fighting and contesting elections, I can say without doubt that I was directly responsible for David Cameron resigning as Prime Minister. I can say with 100% certainty that the Brexit party got rid of Theresa Bay.

❝It rewards terrorism. We believe in a two-state solution, but you have to do that after a peace settlement when you know what the borders are going to be, when you know who's going to be running one of those states, not just giving a blanket free pass to Hamas, a terrorist organisation.

❝They absolutely would, because what Conservatives want more than anything is power.

❝So, you know, I think one of the things that obviously Americans have been talking about a lot in the last 10, 20 years is the rise of MAGA, the rise of right-wing populism, etc. And one of the big narratives we've seen is this kind of talk about deaths of despair and neglected rural Americans.

❝Yeah, so the punching of the paper is that these areas that saw a greater exposure to the opioid epidemic shift their support towards the Republican Party in all levels of elections. So we see this in presidential elections, in House elections, and in gubernatorial elections.

❝One of these explanations is the fact that at the same time as the OPFPM has been unraveling, the Republican and Democratic Party were going through a realignment with the Republican Party taking ownership and putting at the center of their speech the left behind America and the blue collar workers, whereas the Democratic Party centered itself more as a minority first party.

❝And you know, I would say it's fair to say that he has a bunch of powerful politicians, including J.D. Vance, under his pockets. These are figures who will their rise to Thiel's patronage.

❝He's kind of giddy about it. He's gloating over it. And he tells him, this is the beginning of collapse and the rise of tribalism.

❝And, you know, from what we know and reporting in the Washington Post, you know, Teal and Vance have kind of gone together to plan out what they envision as the society that they want to create where basically they get rid of democracy and they have a kind of group of right-wing business people calling the shots, a sort of new aristocracy. Again, they seem pretty serious about it.

❝I know at least two grown-ass white men who have said that they lost jobs to women or specifically somebody of color. I told them to suggest and stop whining. But now I'm learning and reading that DEI has probably gone too far.

❝And again, that's why when I heard those stories from those two white men I mentioned, I was like, suck it up. You have had a really good run, old white men. It's been really good for you.

❝Meanwhile, as a white guy, if I were to apply for that job, I'd be making $20. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

❝Can you sit here today and acknowledge that mistakes were made and perhaps that the administration went too far? The operation, and when I got there, I reviewed the entire operation. I made changes based on my experience and based on what I think was the best way to go forward. Did I like what was going on? No, everything wasn't perfect.

❝If you are somebody who wants a government grant, you have to certify that you haven't violated laws and that you're currently in compliance with labor laws, with anti-fraud laws.

❝I'm just asking for more time to vet it out.

❝But the SNAP program, the food stamps, essentially, is the dominance of the farm bill. 80, 90% of the entire farm bill funding.

❝Well, I mean, the bad part about this was that this was a gimmick that the Democrats have been pushing for the last 75-plus days to shut down the Department of Homeland Security.

❝If Republicans want to win and keep their majorities right now, we better start, I don't know, codifying the Trump agenda.

❝What we're trying to ensure is that there is no disparity between the profits of the company as opposed to our labor. We don't want to be exploited.

❝The Constitution guarantees a representative form of government, and if you do not know that the people that you elected are rightfully in office and that the election was fair and honest, then you do not, the very foundation of our government crumbles.

❝McGowan argues that Measure B is illegal. If it passes, it would likely face legal challenges almost immediately.
