FEAR PAIN PANIC

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: In for Abby Phillip. What a year this week has been for Donald Trump. Less than 24 hours after Rob Reiner‘s tragic murder, the president verbally attacked the late director and claimed he died because he was highly critical of Trump. There was a bipartisan response not okay. And Trump‘s chief of staff gives a stunning series of interviews. She reveals what she really thinks of several advisers and Trump policies, and even gives a surprising assessment of her boss, saying he has the personality of an alcoholic. Plus, Trump delivers a forceful and fast paced prime time address. He said America‘s problems are not his fault, but that he‘s fixed them. Reaction from both sides of the aisle. Also, he and the Republican led house go on vacation without a solution on health care, despite prices for millions of Americans about to skyrocket. And last and probably least, he hung plaques mocking his predecessors on the walls of the White House. That, too, was criticized by some in the Republican Party. So what does this all tell us? Listen to a variety of opinions. >> The Republicans are losers. Why are you bending the knee at this point in time? The ship be sinking. It‘s over. This is the titanic. I don‘t get it. >> I am not scared of that guy. I‘m not. This is the first time I‘ve seen a Donald Trump I‘m not afraid of. >> I think the dam is breaking. That is a sign where you‘re seeing Republicans. They‘re entering the campaign phase for 2026, which is a large signal that lame duck season has begun >> All right. So I guess the big question is a couple of things. Is the ship sinking? Is the dam breaking? I will start with you, Joe. >> Is the ship sinking? Is the dam breaking? It is thinking how how it‘s stinky and it‘s sinking, but it is too early. Definitely drinking coffee. How in god‘s name are we talking about? What a week it was for Donald Trump when the biggest issue he ran on the economy, right. That‘s what he talked about. He talked about the economy and immigration on the economy. Two great numbers came in on inflation. It is being reduced. Things are going absolutely in the right direction on inflation and on the jobs and sorry, on the jobs numbers. So things are going absolutely great for the president. And I think it‘s absurd that we can talk about how bad of a week he‘s having when America is having such a good week. >> So inflation did cool to 2.7%. that was a good thing for consumers. But when it comes to jobs, the job numbers are are concerning to a lot of Americans. The unemployment was at 4% when he took office. It‘s now at about 4.6%, one of the highest unemployment rates since 2021. How do you see it? Kari. >> First and foremost, I. God bless you. The thinking I was teasing him. Oh, it‘s all right. Just have a little fun. I wanted to address your saying the president had a good week. When Americans are having a good week, I just don‘t see what America do you live in right now? I‘m a little concerned by that. I think the president is having an awful week. We‘re talking about Rob Reiner, his unhinged tweet. What is your answer to that? That‘s not a great week. This man inserted himself in a brutal double murder and made it about himself. >> What affects me more? Rob Reiner and something he said, or how the economy is doing. Yeah. >> But you can‘t. >> You can‘t, you can‘t. >> This is what this is what we do, right? We sort of we go like this to some of it and then we embrace other. First of all, it‘s 2.7 versus 3%. it‘s 3/10 of 1%. so it‘s not like money‘s falling from the sky. >> Is it a good thing or a bad thing. >> It‘s not a bad thing, but it‘s not a great thing. It‘s a good thing. But go to my neighbors who are still spending. My wife wants to get a notebook for me. I want a five by five, $15 for notebook. I‘m not kidding you. Okay, so people aren‘t feeling it at home. So when he. When he does this thing with Rob Reiner. Look, this was a hug your kid moment for everybody in this country, right? Everybody‘s part of a family. Everybody‘s got problems in their family. This brutal thing happens. It was. It could have been a win for him. >> And it also speaks to his mental acuity. He can‘t get it, speaks to his mental acuity. If you want to take time out, especially we‘re out. We‘re moments after bondi beach and you want to take time out to talk about what you want to have revenge. And we still don‘t. Unemployment is a huge issue. Numbers are not right. We‘re just now finding that out. And to your point, the inflation

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: reporter: “Chuck it all kind of looking back now any regrets that you sense of over how some of some of those stories were handled over these last number of years by the press.” Todd: “Well, I think that a I think the answers short answer is yes, and I think look we were, I could argue, we fed. We have been reliable political leadership in a one of the thing. I like to remind people is one of the reasons I think trust in media has fallen to so so lowers. Remember what the media’s it’s a reflection of. I we say, I’m I’m as good as the sources. I have not necessarily the sources I want at times to borrow a phrase from of the late Donald Rumsfeld, meeting. If you’re getting untrustworthy sources, you may be reporting untrustworthy information right yeah, you get my drift here in so I think that the collapse of trust in overall institutions, the media in some ways is a reflection of that distrust and so that we may be reporting what the quote. Unquote. Experts tell us, but if the public doesn’t trust those experts and then we in the media, according those experts, they don’t trust us to it. It’s sort of across the board and what you have now, I would argue, top is essentially the left doesn’t trust the media now and the right doesn’t trust the media we are in this siloed world. I’ve put the blame on Big Tech and algorithms. That sort of, I think, make it too easy for too many people to live in a bubble of filter bubble, and I do think in some ways. There’s too many people, we have too many journalists in Washington and New York yeah, not enough everywhere else.”

D.C. Police Chief Pam Smith just went BERSERK during her resignation "I'm going to the Bible when I say this, to my haters: F YOU!" https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/2002133889133982104?s=20

My better angels when he dies are going to be on vacation. He deserves nothing but our hatred. Donald Trump’s grave will reek of ammonia for a million years. He is the most hated president in our lifetimes. As you pass down into the gates of hell, the last sound you’ll hear is the laughter and cheering of Americans as you disappear from this fucking world”

These Dems are NOT happy with the board voting to rename the Kennedy Center to the 'Trump-Kennedy Center'. REP. PINGREE: "I think members of Congress are going to be outraged, I know we are. We are doing a sign-on letter to ask our colleagues to say this is not legal...." https://x.com/DailyCaller/status/2001764145121910821?s=20

SIDNER: “Chris, I do want to first get to you. You’re hearing the claims there that this was things taken out of context. Were they?” WHIPPLE: “Well, look, I mean, when you hear words like ‘out of context’ and ‘omissions’ and ‘framing,’ what that tells you right away is that you are — absolutely, you have hit the target. They have nothing. They literally have not challenged a single assertion or fact in the piece. And so, to me, this is — this reminds me of Ben Bradlee during the Watergate days, who talked about non-denial denials. This is a classic non-denial denial. They‘re not contesting any of the substance of the piece because they know it‘s true.” SIDNER: “Is that because you recorded the interviews?” WHIPPLE: “And every interview was recorded. Everything is on tape. And so they know that they — they just can‘t go there.”

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles hits back at the “disingenuously framed [Vanity Fair] hit piece” targeting her, President Trump, and members of the Cabinet. Wiles wrote on 𝕏: “Significant context was disregarded and much of what I, and others, said about the team and the President was left out of the story. I assume, after reading it, that this was done to paint an overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative about the President and our team. The truth is the Trump White House has already accomplished more in eleven months than any other President has accomplished in eight years and that is due to the unmatched leadership and vision of President Trump, for whom I have been honored to work for the better part of a decade. None of this will stop our relentless pursuit of Making America Great Again!” https://x.com/RedWave_Press/status/2000953623438626888?s=20
