they d be carried out on a stretcher, folks. guards are gentle, walking out, high fives, smiling, laughing. i d like to punch him in the face. i ll tell ya. we re in a serious moment in our country, and i mean it from the bottom of my heart. as i said last week, we remain in the battle for the soul of america. by the way all right. god love ya. let em go. let em go. no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, let him go. look, everybody is entitled to be an idiot. no, no, everybody is entitled. president biden s response to a protester while campaigning in wisconsin yesterday, as compared to how donald trump handled hecklers during the 2016 campaign. remember that? yeah, willie, it kind of feels like he was speaking to me there. everybody is entitled to be an idiot. i had the same thought. a different approach than donald trump, obviously. that was for us. exactly. also looking back on 2016, too, the idea that donald trump has ever been in a fistfight in his life, the
don t like, then we don t get out of the moment. you know, the church, evangelicals once believed that, actually, it was jesus christ that moved us beyond that. now, one tv preacher after another, a religious leader after another, will do whatever it takes to win the culture wars and go back again to the horrific state. jon meacham, thank you so much. greatly appreciate it. willie, i think the challenge for the media during this time is what i was saying before. you have donald trump who is calling the fbi vicious monsters. you have republicans that are calling the fbi, our crowd men and women who protect us every day, wolves that want to eat and devour you. republicans calling them the gestapo. trumpists say the media is left-winged and bias. no, they just love the
constitution of the united states. cnn is trying to be more fair, more down the middle. i think that s a good thing. i think it is going to be hard for not only them but for all of us to do our best. again, when you have a former president calling the fbi vicious monsters, when you have republicans calling them the gestapo, when you have republicans talking about defunding the fbi. trump-appointed head of the fbi. exactly how do we play that down the middle? yeah. trumpists don t call us bias? there is no playing that down the middle. even for conservatives like me. if you believe in the fbi, if you believe in the rule of law, if you believe in constitutional safeguards, there is no sort of, hey, let s figure out what the middle is between constitutional norms and trying to de-fund the fbi. yeah. we saw that again with president
went out and giuliani made a very direct plea, don t speak. we ll pardon you in the end. we ll pardon you in the end. then he says not going to do it until after the second trial and who knows whether or not there s going to be another trial in west virginia on those other counts. so i don t know how anybody could afford that. we re talking about tens of millions of dollars of legal fees, and, you know what? if and when he gets the pardon, he s just manafort is just trading camp fed for sing-sing on the hudson. that pardon does nothing him to. nothing noifor him in new york state and new york state has this guy by the whatevers. he has these tax counts. thank you, martin. okay.
president was responsible for our economy s success or failure. at the end of the day, it s small business owners, it s people that get up early in the morning, work hard all day, sometimes holding two, three jobs. i ve never again, never heard anybody remotely conservative say, if not for me, the american economy would be collapsing. of course, i know that a lot of donald trumpists don t want to hear this, trumpists don t want to hear this but we re in the middle of a seven-year recovery. so if you re going to credit presidents, barack obama, he may have started this. if you believe that i don t. i actually believe that american workers, american small business owners, they re the ones that make our economy great, but i m conservative. so i can see why the president
