PBS - Brooks and Capehart hack two separate soundbites together of Trump to mislead listeners

No Agenda show #1599 - Adam and John discuss the editing of a Trump clip where he is made to say things he didn't actually say. The reaction to the edited clip is criticized for being exaggerated and unfair. John compares the edited clip to the original and highlights the differences. They also mention how Adobe AI software doesn't work well with Trump clips and speculate that it's due to Silicon Valley's bias against Trump. John goes on to discuss the Republican party's views on foreign policy and how it has changed under Trump. They argue that the media is politicizing the issue and present the unedited Trump clip to provide context. John also mentions an incident where Netanyahu let them down and takes issue with the way the clip was edited and presented by PBS's The Brooks and Capehart show.... So now I'm going to take us into the egregious editing of a Trump clip to make him say stuff he didn't say. And I have the original clips, I dug them up the way we do, and I want to compare one to the other. But let's start... But it's also the reaction. First, they edit a clip, and then they react to it, even though the clip's a fake. They react to it, and they go off the rails with how bad Trump is as a person. This is the intro to this clip, and this is Brooke's Trump edit intro. As we talk about the Biden administration's response, his predecessor, Donald Trump, threw wide criticism and condemnation this past week for faulting Netanyahu, for calling Hezbollah very smart in his remarks. Oh, it's a new very fine people. It's the very smart people now. Oh, this is good. This is good. Okay, where do we go now? Okay. First of all, he makes... He mentions... He... That's the host guy, the black guy. Host guy. He mentions Netanyahu, and then he mentions that Trump says Hezbollah's very smart. And now we go to... They take the clip, and they butcher a clip, and they don't even have it from the same feed, so it's a mess. And I tried to even clean it up with Adobe, but hell with it, let's leave the mess the way it is, because Adobe actually doesn't work on Trump. No, interesting. There's very... And I've noticed this before, Adobe does not work on Trump. Because they hate Trump. They must. So they probably do, Silicon Valley. So let's go to... This is a Brooks Trump, and this has got the edited clip. This is two. Okay. I'll never forget that B.B. Netanyahu let us down. That was a very terrible thing. I will say that. And they said, gee, I hope Hezbollah doesn't attack from the north, because that's the most vulnerable spot. Their interests are small. They're all very small. And we can contrast that to what Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley had to say. Israel has a right to defend itself, and that means do that to the hills. You have to uproot the terrorist infrastructure, these networks, and Hamas needs to be no more. This is sick, and we have to treat sick people the way they deserve to be treated and eliminate them. Your response to what Donald Trump had to say? The clip you showed is exhibit number whatever it is of why he should never ever again be entrusted with the power and responsibility that comes with sitting in the Oval Office. I am happy to be wrong about the reaction from the Republican presidential field. I thought they would follow form and not criticize Trump at all for fear of engendering the rage of their base. But Governor Haley, Governor DeSantis, Governor Christie, former Vice President Mike Pence, most of them criticized Trump, and I applaud them for that. But there's no way that guy should be president of the United States again by that clip alone. So, you know, when we deconstruct clips, and we're looking at the media, and we get the kind of feedback I read earlier, these a-holes are just politicizing it for their own ego, whatever it is. Oh, whatever it is, let's keep Trump out. That's disgusting. Wait until you hear the original Trump clip. I can't wait. We can also play, I think, Brooks' reaction to this same edited little clip where he says Netanyahu, first Trump brings in Netanyahu, then he says Hezbollah's smart, and he says they're going to attack from the north or something. It's a very confused, it's a really screwed up edit. And then they bring in, as you heard, DeSantis talking about Hamas, which is not what Trump was talking about, and then Nikki Haley saying these people are sick, kind of indicating Trump. That Trump is sick, which is not what that was about at all. That was not what that was about. This is a real, real- Hack job. Hack job. Exactly. And here's the, followed by Brooks. It's also a reminder of how Donald Trump's isolationist views have really realigned the Republicans' approach to foreign policy. It's stunning. I mean, well, first that Donald Trump clip, everything is about Donald Trump. A thousand people get murdered, and it's all about Donald Trump. And the party has, you know, it was the party of anti-communism. It was the party of an American-led world order. It was the party of containment against Russia, against the Soviet Union. And now it's very much the opposite. And as I look at the Republican Party, I just want to make sure they're going to fund Ukraine. So now these are two guys that are supposed to be arguing with each other to give people perspective when they watch the PBS News Hour. But no, they're two guys that are in total agreement. Neither one of them are representative of anything other than one lone pro-Ukraine view. But let's go back to that clip that they butchered. And let's listen to Trump's actually, this is a long clip, but you need to hear the whole thing in context. And this is actually in good, this is in good, this is good quality. This is the Trump unedited comments regarding Hezbollah being smart. The $6 billion was a tremendous amount of money, but nothing compared to the hundreds of billions of dollars that Biden allowed them to make in oil and other things. Hundreds of billions. They became a rich nation in three years. That's why they're doing this. They have so much money. They don't know what to do with it. They had no money. They were broke. And then there was the inevitable attack four days later, which I predicted. And then two nights ago, I read all of Biden's security people. Can you imagine national defense people? And they said, gee, I hope Hezbollah doesn't attack from the north because that's the most vulnerable spot. I said, wait a minute. You know, Hezbollah is very smart. They're all very smart. The press doesn't like when they say it. You know, I said that President Xi of China, 1.4 billion people, he controls it with an iron fist. I said, he's a very smart man. They killed me the next day. I said he was smart. What am I going to say? But Hezbollah, they're very smart. And they have a national defense minister or somebody saying, I hope Hezbollah doesn't attack us from the north. So the following morning, they attacked. They might not have been doing it. But if you listen to this jerk, you would attack from the north because he said that's our weak spot. Whoever heard of officials saying on television that they hope the enemy doesn't attack in a certain area. Now, unless it's a con job. But you know what a con job is? You're waiting there ready. You want them if you want them. But they weren't ready. They weren't ready. You know, say what you want. Israel was not ready. This was a big surprise. This was a terrible thing that happened. They weren't ready. But if you wanted them to attack because you've got a million people there with guns and you get a blast of hell, then you do exactly. But they didn't have that. They didn't have that. Biden's national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, even bragged just days before the attack that the Middle East seems to be quite quiet. That was good. They really, they really honestly what they've done is a shame. Yeah. Okay. Now, a couple of things about that. This is all in context. It's fine what he said. This is all. He's not complimenting Hezbollah like they all like to imagine. But did you notice there was no mention of Netanyahu in that entire? They edited that together. In the intro piece, it was two different pieces of audio. That's the first thing I noticed. Yeah, they did a botched job of that. I mean, they could have had good quality because it was all from the same speech. In fact, I have the Netanyahu piece and the Netanyahu piece, which they just pulled out of context and dropped it in as a cheat, as a sleazy, lowest form of journalism thing you could possibly do, which they did on PBS. I have the Netanyahu piece, which is actually standalone, is very interesting and could have been used as a jumping off point for a big discussion. And I'm surprised that they didn't do that because it's more interesting than what they did, which was just Trump batch. But listen to this. This is Trump on Netanyahu as a backgrounder. That's kind of interesting. The savage attacks on Israel happened for three reasons. Biden loosened. This is not the grudge clip. This is the regular. Oh, I'm sorry. It's the grudge clip. I did have a bad experience with Israel, though. When we took out Soleimani, it was us and Israel working as a group. And we knew where he was. We knew how he was coming in. We knew the plane. We knew everything. We worked on it for weeks, for months, actually. But we worked on it for weeks. The night before, I don't think this has ever been told. They'll say, oh, it's classified information. Well, maybe it is. But I don't think so. Israel was going to do this with us. And it was being planned and working on it for months. And now we had everything all set to go. And the night before it happened, I got a call that Israel will not be participating in this attack. So let's do it. And he came onto the plane. And we followed him right from the situation room. We followed the whole thing. About 15 seconds later, it was all over. And we did it. But I'll never forget. I'll never forget that Bibi Netanyahu let us down. That was a very terrible thing. I will say that. So we were disappointed by that, very disappointed. But we did the job ourselves. And it was absolute precision, magnificent, beautiful job. And then Bibi tried to take credit for it. That wasn't good. That didn't make me feel too good. But that's all right. So they got to strengthen themselves up. Wow. That is a little piece of info we didn't know about. We had no idea. But you notice that little part in that clip where it says, Bibi let us down, is the little piece they took out. They chopped it from that and put it on the front end of the other thing. Let me play that intro again. As we talk about the Biden administration's response, its predecessor, Donald Trump, through wide criticism and condemnation in the past week. It's actually the beginning of clip two. I'll never forget that Bibi Netanyahu let us down. That was a very terrible thing. I will say that. And they said, gee, I hope Hezbollah doesn't attack from the north. Wow. Wow. I mean, you should be fired from journalism for doing that. They should all be fired from PBS. PBS should take a knee for that. This is one of the most egregious examples of editing and false. This is misinformation. That's misinformation. Yes. Blatant. Blatant. On your national treasure, PBS or NPR. Some one of those two. Same thing. So those are the original clips. And you can see that they totally. This is a lie. And Brooks and Capehart should be ashamed of themselves for going along with it and then making a big fuss about what a jerk Trump is. Unbelievable. No, it's not unbelievable. It's believable. It's totally believable. No, it's not unbelievable because it happens. Totally believable. Yeah. So that's pretty much the presentation. Good presentation. I like it. I like it. Well, of course, we were told. And I want to say it again. Do not send your money to these people. Send it to us. Yes. We don't have tote bags, but we can use the money. That's for sure.
