| 0:00.0 | The really shocking thing that a lot of people are missing from Trump's humiliating |
| 0:02.6 | meet the press meltdown, the Knicks, MSG, NBA Finals backlash is crazier than most Normies understand. When many think Netanyahu just gave America the middle finger, the surprising end of one of the most troubling police chases in a bit. We're talking about all of that and even more on today's brand new Philip DeFranco show you daily dive into the news, so buckle up, hit that like button and let's just jump it, starting with this. Donald Trump is doing everything he can right now to silence, intimidate, and domesticate his critics in the media, but some, they're not buckling, and among those, you have Kristen Welker. She's the correspondent from NBC's Meet the Press, who just did an hour-long sit-down interview with Trump, but all the talk right now, it's about the last five minutes. Because most of the interview, it was just her asking some pretty basic questions. |
| 0:39.2 | Like, so, Mr. President, you can keep saying that the war is almost over, but why isn't it over? Or so, Mr. President, you promised that there would be no new wars, but isn't this a new war? And Trump, he was basically like, listen, Kristen, Obama sucked. to Vietnam was way longer, your polls are fake, |
| 0:53.3 | and we'd all be dead if I didn't stop around |
| 0:54.8 | from nuke in the earth. |
| 0:55.5 | But then the conversation got a whole lot more interesting |
| 0:57.7 | when Welker brought up the $1.8 billion weaponization fund that Trump wants to use to pay out people he considers victims of the deep state, including January 6th rioters. An idea that received bipartisan pushback from lawmakers and a judge actually paused it while it gets challenged in court with reports saying that the White House was giving up on. But on the press, you had Trump doubling down on the fund saying that he loves it, calling it great, and refusing to rule out paying Jan 6 rioters who assaulted police officers. And so naturally that led into an argument about whether they were really victims, which became an argument about whether the 2020 election was rigged and then just Trump lost it. There's no evidence of what you're saying. |
| 1:29.2 | But let me ask you about Todd Blanche. |
| 1:31.2 | Listen to me. Listen to me. |
| 1:33.0 | Let's talk about Todd Blanche. |
| 1:34.2 | This tremendous evidence is nothing but evidence. |
| 1:36.3 | The election was rigged. |
| 1:38.4 | It was a dirty election. |
| 1:39.7 | And it's happening again right now in California. |
| 1:42.9 | It's happening right now in California. Right now it's looking, look at what's happening in California. All I have to do is look. All I have to do is look. But that's not evidence. And I listen to people and let's see what happens. But sir, that's not evidence. Do you think it's appropriate? You know that these elections are rigged. Your network knows that they're rigged. You know that |
| 2:04.2 | I won an election in a landslide and you're crooked and Mr. Press is crooked and so is ABC and CBS and |
| 2:12.6 | CNN. But Mr. President. You're one-sided crooked network. So let's call it quits because I've had enough. Thank you, darling. |
| 2:18.3 | Have a good time. Mr. President, let's please, I traveled all the way to Wisconsin. I've traveled all the... I know. And according to Welker, Trump said that he returned to meet the press for another interview, but it's also not clear why he would, given that NBC is already on his media offenders list. which I'm not kidding here. This is an actual page on the official whitehouse.gov website |
| 2:37.0 | that attacks Trump's perceived enemies in the press |
| 2:39.0 | from the Associated Press to Bloomberg to Fox. |
| 2:42.0 | It even includes an offender hall of shame where they highlight things that they don't like, |
| 2:46.0 | such as the Pulitzer Prize going to so-called anti-Trump journalists or Fox News, |
