Feud erupts as Trump loses it - Another Day - Brian Tyler Cohen



The Trump administration has nothing but respect for the press as long as they shut their dirty little mouths this is just another day.

while the war with Iran according to our
extremely trustworthy president is now
officially over the war with the press
rages on you and NBC fake news which is
one of the worst and CNN New York Times
are all bad they're sick there's
something wrong with them and then the
instinct the instinct of CNN the
instinct of the New York Times is to try
to find a way to spin it for their own
political reasons to try to hurt
President Trump or our country well if
these news outlets did spin that story
it looks like they spun it 360° because
all of their information came out of
your defense department yes it appears
that no matter how far Trump and his
colon dwelling henchmen may travel the
press corps still somehow finds a way to
annoy the hell out of them with pesky
questions you know questions like "Why
are you contradicting your own
intelligence assessment regarding the
strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities?"
Trump and his administration are working
around the clock to stamp out any
mention of a leaked Pentagon report that
says that the strike on Iran merely
delayed their nuclear ambitions by
months rather than Trump's assertion
that like his gastrointestinal system it
was totally obliterated now maybe it's
just me but I think the best way to get
an accurate assessment out of what
happened is to inspect the evidence
unfortunately not everyone sees it that
way all of the evidence of what was just
bombed by 12 30,000 pound bombs is
buried under a mountain devastated and
obliterated so if you want to make an
assessment of what happened at Fordo you
better get a big shovel um is it just me
or is Pete Hegseth about to get into a
bar fight with the press corps i'm sorry
but man saying words toughly doesn't
change the facts of what actually
happened it is alarming how much this
administration vehemently wants everyone
to simply shut the hell up and praise
Dear Leader for finally bringing peace
to the Middle East mostly because
shutting down anybody who dares question
the facts as presented is incredibly
dangerous when the executive branch of
the United States sees the quest for
truth as its enemy and pushes a
narrative based on lies they create a
fake reality and lull anybody who
actually does believe their narrative
into a false sense of confidence true
confidence would be willingness to know
exactly how much uranium Iran still has
and telling the American people about it
instead of pretending that you and your
boys totes crushed it and we've got
nothing to worry about bros but
apparently not only are questions about
the validity of our military strike
being deemed offensive and unpatriotic
they're also hurting people's feelings
did you know I got a call from Missouri
great state and I won three times by a
lot and I got a call that the pilots and
the people on the plane were devastated
because they were trying to minimize the
attack they were so devastated when they
heard this news and you know what they
said one of them I spoke to one of them
he said "Sir we hit the site it was
perfect it was dead on because they
don't understand fake news." Ah yes a
sir story that definitely happened so
you're telling us that the very real
pilots who called you who have trained
for years to fly billion-dollar stealth
aircrafts across the globe and are
skilled enough to drop multiple 30,000lb
warheads on the targets buried 250 ft
under a mountain are not equipped to
handle some bad press and needed to call
you to complain about it got it the
level of vitriol coming out of the White
House right now is not surprising at all
because trying to quash descent is
pretty much a go-to move for autocratic
regimes as is million-dollar military
parades and outfitting your office in
gold it's kind of like being surprised
when there's a dead body in the first 5
minutes of the White Lotus kind of their
thing and when you need someone to quash
descent back home they know exactly who
to call this CNN story got it completely
wrong but that reporter is a sheep and
she's a mouthpiece for people who don't
like Donald Trump no other president in
history could have ever dreamed of such
a success and that's exactly why the
fake news media is now trying to demean
and undermine the president personally I
think whining about not getting enough
credit for how much daddy kicked a
mountain's ass is undermining the
president but that's just me and
shutting down access to facts and
information is not simply being done
through hostile press conferences or
appearances on Fox News it is
systematically being done by this
administration every step of the way and
at the forefront of this fact-killing
mission is one of Donald Trump's most
loyal soldiers Kari Lake Kari Lake
is a former broadcaster from Arizona and
a fellow election denier so that made
her the perfect candidate to oversee the
US agency for global media an
independent federal agency overseeing
media networks that provide unbiased
news in countries where the press is
restricted and today as she testified in
front of the House Oversight Committee
she showed us that she is well-versed in
all the countries do you do you happen
to know Miss Lake uh I I come from the
land of William Soyan and um I assume
you know what language the uh Armenian
uh uh people of Armenia speak i've
actually heard it it's a beautiful
language i I can't name it can you
please tell me yeah it's Armenia uh the
uh trick question if she thought that
was a trick question she would have
hated his follow-up what are those guys
who fight fires called i feel like a
better trick question for Carrie Lake
would be "What body of water pretends to
be deep but is really incredibly
shallow?" That would be Carrie Lake
amidst all of this shutting down of
facts Lake was on Capitol Hill today to
answer questions about the recent
termination of 85% of the staff from the
government funded news operation Voice
of America an operation that she clearly
loves this place is rotten it's rotten
to the core president Trump has asked me
to go in and help clean it up and he's
also issued an an executive order to
reduce this agency down to its mandate
to what is mandated statutorily required
that's exactly what I'm doing i don't
care if they attack me we're going to
make it right for the American taxpayers
and how will we know if it's made right
if there's no journalists left to report
it i guess we'll just take their word
for it i have to say it is mildly
amusing that for an administration that
despises communist regimes and their
state-run TV operations they're doing a
pretty bang-up job of creating their own
the American public are smarter than
this and they should know the truth
president Trump completely and totally
obliterated the the capability of Iran
to produce a nuclear weapon and the
world is safer today because of his
historic efforts the only thing missing
from that clip of Caroline Levit is the
North Korean pink kimono this
administration is desperately trying to
put their boot on the neck of anybody
who dares question the validity of what
they say and label them as a treasonous
hater of our military and our nation's
freedom as a whole but guess what
multiple things can be true the soldiers
who courageously flew B2 bombers under
the cover of night can be heroes and
also Donald Trump and his entire
administration can be making a concerted
effort to willfully ignore intelligence
reports from their own Department of
Defense and silence any media outlets
that dare question the inconsistencies
in their statements again multiple
things can be true kind of like how you
can appreciate those who've engaged in
public service and also recognize that
some of them are a huge disservice to
the public one thing does not negate the
other despite what Donald Trump may
believe the silencing of information and
repeatedly bragging about how right you
are about everything does not make you
look strong it makes you look weak and
insecure and frankly not smart which
seems crazy considering I took two
cognitive tests and I I aced them both i
wanted to be a little different than
Biden i took a cognitive test
and I don't know what to tell you other
than I got every answer right and by the
way I took my cognitive exam as part of
my physical exam and I got the highest
mark and one of the doctors said "Sir
I've never seen anybody get that kind of
that was the highest mark." Exactly
smart people do not spike the football
after their cognitive test you know why
cuz it's stupid almost as stupid as
bragging about how much they totally
completely and supremely obliterated
Iran's nuclear program for being so damn
smart it is shocking how little Donald
Trump has learned from recent American
history 20 years ago we watched a
sitting president desperate to seem
tough strut out onto an aircraft carrier
to declare "Our mission accomplished,"
only to spend the rest of his time in
office trying to justify spending
trillions of taxpayer dollars and losing
over 3,000 American lives in a war that
was again totally completely and
supremely accomplished so Trump can bash
all the intelligence reports he wants
brag about has many cognitive tests as
he like and throw as many million-dollar
military parades as he sees fit but if
his goal is for the world to see him as
the embarrassingly weak president that
he really is well mission accomplished
