Remember that urgent, almost frantic post Donald Trump made to his attorney general. Pam Bondi, the one he demanded that she prosecuted James Comey very long post. He's talking about how he read over 30 statements. He's saying this is the same story as last time. [00:00:15] Look what they did to me. Pam, look, this has to get done immediately. There's a great case. We cannot delay any longer. It's killing our reputation and credibility. Justice must be served. And on and on. So there was near instant speculation that post was not meant [00:00:34] for public consumption. And now the Wall Street Journal is confirming just that. The paper reporting Trump accidentally published that directive to his A.G. Bondi publicly September 27th. 11:21 a.m. Eastern. He deleted it within ten minutes. [00:00:51] Of course not before it was captured in the eternal screenshots, and instead the reporting is after she called the white House and complained and issued a how. How? Stop, stop. Pam Bondi is doing a great job. He posted a few minutes later. [00:01:07] Great job as Attorney General of the United States. She's very careful, very smart, loves our country, but needs a tough prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia. Like my recommendation, Lindsey Halligan, to get things moving. So Donald Trump very transparent. [00:01:24] I don't know if he thinks he's slick when he writes things like that. Just 12 minutes later, Trump tried to clean it up, as you saw there, posting that praise filled message about Pam, calling her smart strong. Now, the deleted post is now being evaluated as perhaps exhibit A potentially [00:01:42] in James Comey's legal strategy to get his indictment thrown out. Trump's own words, giving a clear directive to his DOJ boss to target a former FBI director could be used to show political motivation and abuse of power. And so this isn't just about what's sloppy. [00:01:59] You know who hasn't? Maybe accidentally or close to it, thought they were sending DM and said they posted something publicly. But it does seem to be a window into just how far Donald Trump is willing to go, and how long he's willing to wait to taste the blood of his [00:02:16] chosen political enemies as he sees it. Ironically, though, this may have secured him the white House, this one enemy. I mean, of all people. Comey probably secured him the white House the first time around. [00:02:32] And still, the question I have for you, though, Jake, is that is anyone going to fall off the loyalty truck here? Okay, Donald Trump wants a Nobel Prize. There's the peace deal. We'll see what happens with that. The government shutdown. He's sending troops into Chicago and threatening other places. [00:02:49] He has all of this time to still oversee the prosecution, the indictment of Letitia James. Is anybody else going to say, you know, what a Maga. You know what? I was all in on Trump. But this is a bridge too far. [00:03:04] Maybe. Okay, so probably. But it depends on who we're talking about. So first, before I get to that, Sharon, I mean, look at this, right? There's two parts of this that are amazing. Number one, he thinks he's sending a DM to his attorney general. [00:03:19] Why are you doing it through your public platform? What, are you, nuts? You're the president of the United States. You can get her a message in any way you want. Pick up the phone, email her. Whatever. What? You're DMing her, you're sliding into her DMs. [00:03:36] What, are you, nuts? And then, of course, the clown may accidentally makes it public. You got to grow up, brother. This is like, again, if you're a Republican, you got to be like, what are you. Why are you sharing secret messages publicly? Don't you have any self control? Can't you do anything right anyway? [00:03:55] So then look at the message he says to his attorney general, that political opponent of mine is guilty as hell. And all there's been is talk and no action. He doesn't say anything about which crime she committed. Hey. I'm concerned. It looks like there were law was broken and you didn't, etc.. [00:04:12] No, no, he's just like, prosecute her. I don't like her. Prosecute her. Oh, I made it public. Oops. But then to Sharon's point, is anyone going to care? By the way, one little side note here, Lindsey Halligan that he put in [00:04:27] after he fired the career prosecutor who's conservative and wouldn't, ruin his career by, taking on this case and unfairly charging this, Letitia James or, some of these other folks anyways. [00:04:44] So he replaced him. With who? Halligan. Halligan is his personal attorney. As soon he's going to have, like, the, like, the personal injury lawyers that he used in back in 87 when he got into a car accident. [00:05:00] You know, if you've been in Jersey, the guys who run the billboards got hurt in Jersey, right? He's going to use those guys. He got me $30,000 when someone bumped into my car. He's now the deputy attorney general. Right. And if you say, oh, come on, Jake, that's an exaggeration. [00:05:16] I'm sure Lindsey Halligan has a storied career. You just don't like her politics. No. She's literally never tried a criminal case. You can't get any more unqualified for this position than that. Never tried a criminal case. [00:05:32] What is she doing here? Her whole job. And by the way, there's a public corruption unit. And Trump is using it in the exact wrong way to do the public corruption. You have 30 people in it. It only has two. Now, both Trump's personal attorneys. [00:05:48] So rando Bob and Rando Jane are in there going, yeah, we're going to only charge Democrats. It doesn't matter if they did it or not, right? And then how about the actual corruption? There's tons of corruption from Republicans and Democrats, right? There's people stuffing gold into their suits and stuff like that. Are you gonna do anything about that? Oh, no no no, no. [00:06:05] It's a twofer for Trump. Everybody gets to be corrupt. And he loves that. And then but he prosecutes his opponents. So look. So all the non-trump voters, the people who voted against Trump, we all [00:06:20] see clear as day what he's doing here. That's that's not an issue. It's not like somebody's going to be like, hey, you know what? I voted against Trump. But now that I see that he he's totally misusing American law and ignoring the Constitution, I'm in. Okay. That is not likely, right? So now you look at Trump voters. [00:06:37] Usual thing here guys on the right that are extreme love this kind of stuff. Yeah they they came after us. They did it the wrong way. So we should double down. And because two wrongs are like 18 wrongs, if you pile them all up, [00:06:53] then make it right. No they don't. No, it's called principles. You should look into it. Okay. Are there some Trump voters who get turned off by this? Yes. To what degree will they see it? To what degree will they hear the truth about it? And to what degree will it continue to add up? [00:07:09] If it was one thing that Trump did, Sharon, then I think that it probably would not make much of a difference. But now it's a combination of things to bring the military into the streets, charging your political opponents with nonsense, you know, saying that he took freedom of speech away, which is something he said, [00:07:29] that we covered on the show today. And, just and now, something even more nefarious we covered on the show yesterday a story Ken Klippenstein broke about how they're going to now try to call anyone who they think is against family values, [00:07:44] against Christianity, against America, against, whatever. Right. All of these made up categories. And they're saying we're going to call them terrorists and take away all their rights. So and then you saw them. Oh, you disagree with Israel. You wrote an op ed against Israel. That's it. You're arrested. [00:08:00] And who tried to deport you and put you in a dungeon and all this stuff? So you have all of that together, I think. And then we'll see if I'm right or wrong. But a third of Trump voters didn't sign up for extremism. They thought, hey, I don't like inflation. [00:08:17] I think the immigration is a little bit out of control. So I'm going to go in Trump's direction when they see all this. They're going to be like, oh. And then by the way, did he do anything about it. No. Inflation continues to rise. So eventually people know they might not know all the details of Lindsey Halligan [00:08:32] and Letitia James, etc. But they know the price of eggs and they know what tyranny feels like. So my guess is that this doesn't end well for Trump because he can't help himself. Sharon. He's never going to get he's never going to be a sane guy [00:08:48] who's like, you know what? We really should follow the laws in the Constitution. And I don't need that much power. I just want to be a president within the normal confines of the presidency. And I want to push my agenda through because I really want to help the average American. That's not who he is. He's the guy who's like, more power. More power. [00:09:04] No one criticizes me. You're arrested. You're no one. No one. I mean, power, power. Put the military in industry. That's who he is. That's who he is. So. And the more he locks people up, the more unpopular he's going to get. So, just to be clear, you believe it's a cocktail [00:09:20] of all of these self-destructive actions. It's not the Marjorie Taylor Greene speaking up about now, health care and the thought of millions of Americans losing it or having their premiums skyrocket. It's not just Epstein, although that is, you know, again, [00:09:38] his self-imposed, his destruction here. It's all Trump. It's not the MAGA people that he's made to walk the plank. Like, you know, the prosecutor. His name is escaping me. Who said there's nothing there on Comey and now he's fired. Yeah. I think he might be right. [00:09:56] Yeah. You know, last thing on that, Sharon. I'll clarify it this way. And this is super rough, guys. Okay, but I love the question Sharon's asking because on, so I super roughly a third of Trump voters that are on the extreme right, you're not going to get them on anything. [00:10:11] Trump says it. They believe it. Trump says there were no Epstein clients, and they're like, yep, no Epstein clients at all. Whatever Trump says is 100% true, and I don't want to listen to anything else. I don't even think it's a third. But it's still it's a number. It's a big number, but it's a third. Then there's two thirds. [00:10:28] Who will agree with us when they agree. Like so. We agree on Epstein files. So Trump can say there are no Epstein files and that two thirds of Trump voters are going to go, no, brother. We said there's we know there's Epstein. We know there's Epstein clients. And that same two thirds like, come on, brother, you seem like you're constantly [00:10:47] doing whatever Israel asks you to do. And we didn't say war. We said no war. So those on issues where we have significant agreement, those two thirds are potentially, can join a bigger coalition on issues like this going after his political opponents. [00:11:04] You're down to a third of Trump voters where you could convince them. It's not like they're going to see it immediately be like, oh, that's it, I'm against Trump. No, no, they're going to have to see that cocktail that we've been talking about and that it's all adding up. And wait a minute, my Marjorie Taylor Green's right. [00:11:19] My premiums are doubling. I thought you were going to help me with prices. And now my health care is unaffordable. Everything at the grocery store is higher, and you're taking away people's rights. And you said you were for freedom, but it looks like you're taking away people's freedom. That third is is more convincible and [00:11:38] and does not like these things and didn't know that it was coming. That's my rough sense of it. It'll be interesting. Is Hillary Clinton next? Well, he I mean, he doesn't like her either. He's gotten all for her, though, lately for the Bolton's of the world. Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets his wings. [00:11:56] Totally not true. But it does keep you updated on our live shows.
