You can't entertain Americans when you actually hate the average American, their values, their belief systems, you know, the country that they love. Enter the Daily Wire. Our newest release, Run Hide Fight Infidels, is finally streaming. Radical jihadists will destroy our freedom, but only if we let them. If you're a fan of those over-the-top action-packed films from the 80s and 90s, Red Dawn, Toy Soldiers, this is a movie you're not going to want to miss. Red-blooded American Good Guys taking on the radical Islamic terrorists. To regain their freedom. Watch Run Hide Fight Infidels. It's streaming now only on the Daily Wire. Well, folks, it's time for Joe and Mika version 3.0. So, yesterday, big announcement on Morning Joe that had a lot of heads spinning because Joe and Mika of Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, who are now a married couple.
Ben Shapiro 0:43
They weren't originally, they're married to other people when they first started the show, and now they're married to one another. In any case, they have decided that it It is time for a little kiss and makeup with Donald Trump. I think that we need to take a bit of a trip down memory lane with Joe and Mika to understand just how astonishing this is and just how dishonest this is. So if you go all the way back to 2015, 2016, Joe and Mika. were largely responsible for Donald Trump receiving the Republican nomination. They had him on the air all the time. They sat with him as primary results came in in twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen. They were so close that Joe Scarborough was legitimately asked by radio host Hugh Hewitt whether he would actually be Donald Trump's VP nominee.
Ben Shapiro 1:25
This is back in twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen. Here we go.
Unknown 1:28
All right, I have a high cotton question for you. This is a serious question. Yeah. I tell people I really believe if Donald Trump wins the Republican nomination, your phone, Joe Scarborough, is gonna ring and he's gonna offer you the vice presidential nomination. Will you accept it? I'll I'll take a weekend at Mor a Lago. So really I don't know where you get that from. If he asks you 'cause it makes sense to me. It makes sense to me on a lot of different levels of He needs Florida, he needs someone who's media savvy, he needs someone that he gets along with relatively well and understands media. So if he asks, would you say yes? I mean i first of all, I mean D Donald Trump has I think we all know has about as much media savvy as
Unknown 2:14
Anybody that's been in politics for a long time. You you always get me in trouble with questions like this.
Ben Shapiro 2:19
Okay, so again, they were very tight at this time. And then after Trump got the nomination, and he didn't keep making time with Joe and Mika, and they decided that instead they were gonna favor Hillary Clinton for political reasons, they became quite vicious about President Trump. And they were vicious for legitimately years about President Trump. Here is just some of what they had to say about President Trump over the course of the next eight years or so.
Joe Scarborough 2:43
Donald Trump keeps talking about how America sucks. And he before he got elected, America sucked. And then he got elected suddenly America was great. Then he lost and now America sucks again. You're voting for a guy like that? What exactly is a threat? What rises to the threat of democracy that we have ever seen in America since the Civil War? If what Donald Trump has done over the past four years does not uh double and triple checking and shilling for him and suggesting that somehow they're being biased, bending over backwards, treating him like a normal candidate. He's not a normal candidate.
Adam Wren 3:20
Trump is literally crazy on straight stage, and I say it not in a good way. Not well, not fit, not mentally capable.
Joe Scarborough 3:31
When you talk to the people who served with him, they will tell you now the guy was completely ignorant on policy.
Adam Wren 3:40
Frightening, it was scary, it was depressing. It's gonna be very hard for the former president to convince anybody except for die hard maga who don't uh the types of people who will follow him. to anywhere.
