Media Turns on Biden...and Admits Left Doesn't Think Trump is Existential Threat, with Ric Grenell

while we wait to see what happens there we'll have full coverage of that for you tomorrow uh the media meantime is turning its attention back to the real devil in this race and that is of course Donald Trump yes the New York Times is now calling on Americans to reject both of the presumptive nominees let's just clean slate it going in on the left I guess we'll have kamla Harris and on the right we'll have their preferred candidate of like Mitt Romney or Adam kinzinger in an ominous looking editorial with a black background the times says in all caps that Mr Trump is dangerous in word deed and action as the reader Scrolls down it then reveals the words he puts self over country scroll further he loathes the laws we live by and then it ends with Donald Trump is unfit to lead then there's once again President Biden's favorite morning show host msnbc's Joe Scarboro who dramatically compared what America is facing right now to America in the runup to the Civil War Democrats have to unite against the immediate threat before America's 240e constitutional republic is no more this result is not doubtful Lincoln said we shall not fail if we stand firm we shall not fail if we stand together because so said Lincoln then and so says a watchful and very worried Nation now okay well while Scarboro wax is poetic about the grave threats of Donald Trump who he supported his entire campaign for the White House was only when he found out reportedly that he wasn't going to be the Vice Presidential nominee or in the president's cabinet that he turned on him okay um it it seems that many people in the media uh have failed to recognize one of the most troubling aspects of the whole story and that is his hypocrisy his ongoing lying people like Scarboro and that of the press and the Democrats the American people continue to be lied to daily over and over again we are seeing examples of the politicians these are Democrats the media and the president's backers saying one thing in private and something very very different in public from the people who attended the president's fundraisers and didn't say a word about how feeble he was we went over that to the so-called leaders of this country as we report in our first hour political reporting that speaker emirata as Nancy Pelosi calls herself has privately suggested to some half a dozen lawmakers that President Biden's not going to win and she he should step aside but on camera she's not saying that and apparently she's not alone the New York times's Ezra Klein dropped this bombshell the New York Times that's the one who just did the unfit scary all caps all right their Ezra Klein just dropped this bombshell on the bullwark podcast that top Democrats tell him off the record of course they don't actually see Donald Trump as an existential threat listen I think it is clear like people are like weighing the set of things like it's you know it would be quite unpleasant for me personally to come out against the president um as a elected official Democratic party and weighing what will happen if Donald Trump wins and saying you know in a revealed preference way I can live with Donald Trump winning um and I've had people say that to me off the Record to be fair I've had I've had top Democrats say to me basically something like I don't know why all these Democrats who think Donald Trump is an existential threat to democracy are acting the way they are but the reason I'm acting the way I am is because I don't think that who the is this who are these people oh you're verus Ezra I'm in I'm about to be in leaking text mode over here myself like that is crazy that's I guess it's consistent but it's maddening no I find it maddening but I I do find it consistent right I do find it to be a look you you could say this is true in a lot of things right it's a it's a charge Republicans always uh throw at liberals which is that if they really believe climate change was such a problem they wouldn't fly on ples ah this is amazing back with me now Rick grenell so they lifted the dress up Rick and under there they found a bunch of Democrats who are ready to vote Trump or at least don't really find him that big a problem yeah they're undermining their message they're saying their message is not working look what what you're missing through all of this conversation Morning Joe and all the others they're not talking policies they're not defending their policies they're literally talking about everything else I mean Morning Joe was telling people to you know stand together in a very whispered way the morning Joe guests are not even standing together they they can't get the Democratic party to stand together let alone the entire country we have been gaslit we knew that Joe Biden was absolutely declining and yet they decided to tell us that we were all cheap fakes and they were going to have their primary anyway and anyone who challenged him got silenced I had a Wall Street Journal reporter yesterday tell me when I was pushing back on this whole narrative that she suddenly now sees uh what's going on and I said oh please you have been watching this train wreck for years this is about you and the media as much as it's about Joe Biden and you know what she said to me when we tried to bring anything up they cut us out they froze us out we didn't have any access they've weaponized the Press Corp into dutiful people there's no speaking truth to power from this press Corp they're all nervous about not being able to have access to the the power Brokers but everything flips if Donald Trump comes in then the Press is suddenly going to be vicious attack dogs I love your point Megan about imagine a world where we just had skeptical media for both sides we would be so much better off I believe one you wouldn't have Joe Biden at the top of the ticket because he would have been uh you know gone through some sort of scrutiny in the beginning we wouldn't even have kamla Harris because if you're a California politician you're never scrutinized you're never vetted our media here just let the deis rise to the top while the straight white guy at the top is picking all of these other people and and so we have to have a world where the media absolutely does their job I hope that this is a moment that shakes them and that they begin to say okay we got to change the way we're teaching journalists we can't have recycle and repeat we can't use each other as uh sources there's a whole bunch that needs to change I think the older journalists know this but we got a generation of young journalists who are absolutely terrible at doing real journalism and I think this is the moment I mean I'll tell you this if Trump wins their skepticism will remain intact they can ride their existing skepticism right now all the way through the next four years right of course and try to pretend they've turned over a new Leaf there was an interesting moment on CNN yesterday where the reporter was wrapping her report about the Clooney situation and um she included the Biden White House's response and Jake Tapper responded almost incredulously in a way just I have to say I do not think we would have seen three months ago watch this clip a campaign official who attended that Los Angeles fundraiser tells me that George Clooney left 3 hours before the president so clearly the gloves are off Jake what what does that mean that George Clooney left for what's what's the point the point of that is to suggest that Biden's stamina is better than Clooney's and Clooney didn't have you know eyes on the entire event that's the response uh to uh to the Clooney oped okay he's kind of laughing at it because it is laughable I mean whoever whatever you think of George clo need to suggest he has less stamina than Joe Biden is a joke the media does seem to be you know opening its eyes at least to Biden's flaws and it's so much Rick that they're now piling on like you're hearing more and more talk of he's a hero he's a great man but his whole Legacy is going to be destroyed if he doesn't leave voluntarily like we the media giveth and the media taketh away we will ruin you unless you do what we want here's Chuck Todd and it is made me want to rethink a lot of the Biden biography I still can't believe he ran for president in the first place given that his family was in crisis in 2018 that I look you look at what has happened I can't believe he put his family through this and and now looking at his behavior now in clinging to this I I you know I think the entire narrative on Joe Biden is going to change and that he was he's always been everything has been about his ambition and his ambition comes first I it's amazing I mean I'm sorry but like we're talking about CNN and NBC here Rick it's pathetic because it is still you know it's about power it's about the media losing their power of their party the Democrats losing an election this is not about the greater good and sorry I don't believe that reporters eyes are just suddenly opened this is not the case they have known this they're propagandists they're Democrats they are big mad that they are losing they thought they they could you know do a covid style uh you know Shakedown of the American people once again by pretending like Joe Biden is there and then that handed to to Kamala they were caught they are are are plagiarists they're propagandists they're Liars we have to fix this system I I'm sorry I don't have one iota of sympathy for these reporters they knew they've been watching an a front in a front row seat and suddenly now they're embarrassed because they were caught they don't have new found eyes uh Chuck Todd is pathetic when he tries to say oh I'm rethinking the whole biography should rethink your entire journalism career you're supposed to be skeptical he is a player on the Democratic side this has got to change it's ruining our country Washington DC has no credibility everyone else outside is laughing seeing that the king and all of the court has no clothes on it was Lennon who said give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have swn will
