Now let's get to DC for a variety of reasons, by the way, but first we'll start where President Trump is calling for an investigation into the high profile endorsements of Kamala Harris during the twenty twenty four campaign. The move comes after Bruce Springsteen criticized the president last week during his European tour. Springsteen called the Trump administration quote corrupt, incompetent,
in treason us in front of a live audience. President Trump didn't take those words too kindly and went on truth social with the following quote, how much did Kamala Harris pay Bruce Springsteen for his poor performance during her campaign for president? Why did he accept that money if he is such a fan of hers, isn't that a major and illegal campaign contribution? What about Beyonce and how much went to Oprah and Bono? I'm going to call
for a major investigation into this matter. Candidates aren't allowed to pay for endorsements, which is what Kamala did, the guys of paying for entertainment.
In addition, this was a very expensive and.
Desperate effort to artificially build up sparse crowds. It's not legal for these unpatriotic entertainers. This was just a corrupt and unlawful way to capitalize.
On a broken system. Thank you for your attention to this matter. End quote. The post from Trump.
Revives previous accusations that the Harbers campaign paid Oprah Winfrey and others for campaign appearances and endorsements of the Democratic nominee.
Here's the deal. A couple of things to point out.
First of all, I want to say this, I think calling for an investigation is a bit extreme just because somebody says something negatively about you, mister president. I think you got bigger fish to fry and more important things to matter. You still got the tariff war going on. I know there's a ninety day of reprieve with you in China and US in China rather than I get that part of Ukraine and Russia calling for an immediate
cease fire according to you, still important matters. There's really a mass conflict of what's happening the folks, the Palestinian women and children and stuff like that, and you having to resolve that issue, or Israel and Hamas Iran being involved. A ma Siene is a proxy to Iran.
We get all that.
There's a lot of stuff to deal with man, This ain't that important. So using the word investigation and saying that you're going to call for it is a bit extreme and dare I say dictatorial and unnecessary.
Period.
Having said that, let me articulate that I don't disagree with President Trump about everything he said. I do think there's something to be said about going outside of this country and speaking about this country and its president administration that way.
Let other people say that.
But you being an entertainer going across the world, going across the ocean wherever Bruce Springsteen was, and I forget for the moment where he was, and speaking against the president of the United States that way is problematic. Perfect to give you a hypothetical, Stephen A. Smith has been outspoken. But if I'm overseas in France, Europe, Switzerland, or wherever I'm a Germany or some place, I'm not gonna be sitting in a foreign country talking about my president that way.
Even if I didn't vote for him.
He's still a president of the United States, and I'm not gonna go.
Someplace else speaking about him that way.
I might touch the issues, and I'm not saying you can't disagree with him I'm not saying that you don't like a policy or in abundance of policies. Well, I don't like the terror. You can say I don't like the tariffs. You can say I don't like what's going on with the war. You can say I don't like the state of our economy. You don't say I don't
like the state of our politics. But when you say corrupt, inept and stuff like that on foreign soil, I don't have a problem with the President having a problem with that.
There's a time and place for every truth, Michael Aaron Sherry. There's a time and a place.
We're not debating truth or falsehood here, we're saying, if you are an American, if you were about the red, white, and blue, there's certain places you don't go and speak that way. There's a time and place for everything. Bruce Bringstey knows that better than anybody. Every truths ain't meant to be told at every single time disshert things you don't do as it pertains to Kamala Harris and a Democratic Party paying folks to endorse them. This is not
the first time those stories have been broached. Remember of Oprah's production company and what it purportedly received. Remember, even though there's no evidence that Beyonce was paid the dime, Remember what they were saying about her in terms of the connection and how the Harris campaign was able to convince her to endorse her publicly. We've seen a bevy
of folks in Hollywood speaking out for Kamala Harris. But we also knew that they had spent about one point five billion dollars, and we're asking ourselves where that money went.
And who got some of it and for what purpose.
Those are the legitimate questions, whether we like it or not, whether we like it or not. So again, I think the president should have bigger fish to fry. I don't think this should be a focal point, and I do think he comes across as a bit dictatorial responding to Bruce Bringstein that way, However, don't sit here and say definitively he's wrong. We don't know that, not with all the lies we've heard the Democratic Party.
Tell talk about us. So let's just get that out the way right now.
