SPEAKER_1 (0:02)
You're listening to The Hammer and Nigel Show. D-d-d, d-d-d, Trump's Attorney General Todd Blanche.
SPEAKER_2 (0:12)
Blanche. Blanche Devereaux.
SPEAKER_1 (0:15)
Blanche, who has worked in a private capacity for Donald Trump in the past, now in federal capacity, the Attorney General Blanche is not letting ABC's Martha Raddatz getting away with making up things that he didn't say. Martha Raddatz, one of Jason Hammer's favorite media personalities and talk show hosts and politicos out there.
SPEAKER_2 (0:39)
Oh, old lady Raddatz. She looks like a foot and she's full of crap.
So Martha Raddatz on ABC just casually tries to make stuff up that the acting attorney general allegedly said. And then she tries to transition and pivot to the next topic. And he's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on here. I never said anything like that. And after she gets called out, she is like, OK, maybe you've got a right to be upset.
SPEAKER_1 (1:11)
OK.
Todd Blanche (1:12)
Going to screen people before they get on a flight coming. I did not say that.
SPEAKER_1 (1:17)
No, no, I did not say that.
SPEAKER_2 (1:19)
You said the president. The president. That's not the way it works.
Todd Blanche (1:23)
The president.
SPEAKER_2 (1:24)
You just said, are you saying?
Todd Blanche (1:25)
I didn't say that.
You have a right to defend yourself there. But are you saying that in the future? You said I said something that I didn't say. That's fine. We can go on.
SPEAKER_2 (1:36)
Well, hold on. No, Raddatz. No, you old bag. You're sitting here trying to say that the attorney general is picking and choosing and screening out individuals for Air Force One based on their network. Like, that's not what he said. He said there's a procedure. There's a protocol. But he's not the one doing it. And once Raddatz got called out for her bullcrap, something she's not used to have happening on ABC, she tried to pivot to the next thing.
SPEAKER_1 (2:06)
All right, let's just move on. All right. Next thing. Next topic. No, what? No, no.
Right. You said something that I didn't say that wasn't true. But let's just move on. Can we just move on? That is the national news media for you right there. That is in its essence what you're dealing with.
SPEAKER_2 (2:28)
And I will say this, Todd Blanche, of all the people that have been brought in to help the Trump administration, I would say has been one of the most impressive. Is he perfect? No. And he's probably gonna get beat up for the Epstein stuff, right?
Even though he's released all the documents, it's never gonna be enough to the Epstein people, right? Until folks are in jail, it's never gonna be enough. And you know what? I understand that I do. But for the most part, Todd Blanche has been really good. Now, you compare him to some of the bigger names that were handed titles, the Tulsi Gabbards, the Cash Patels, you know, other folks, the Kristi Gnomes.
I would dare to say that Todd Blanche has been better at his gig as somewhat of an unknown compared to any of those folks.
SPEAKER_1 (3:21)
He's unknown to you and I, or I guess I shouldn't say you and I, but to the American public. He is very closely connected with the Trump administration and Trump privately.
SPEAKER_2 (3:34)
Right. And the fact that he's working with JD Vance to try to bring down some of this fraud.
SPEAKER_1 (3:40)
Yes.
SPEAKER_2 (3:42)
That's key.
Like, I got to be honest, I knew fraud existed in this country. We all did. But I had no idea to the extent like that Minnesota story opened my eyes from Nick Shirley. And then now you've got the Department of Justice. You've got the vice president. He's kind of the fraud czar now.
SPEAKER_1 (4:03)
Boy, that was that Minnesota story was just the just the crack in the doorway. It really was.
SPEAKER_2 (4:11)
You start getting into California and hell, look at Indiana. I mean, there's fraud everywhere you go.
And it's so overwhelming. Like, it's disgusting seeing your tax dollars, you know, that you work hard for get wasted. And these crooks are getting away with so much crap. That's why I hated when Doge kind of petered out because so many crooked politicians had skin in the game. Even politicians I like, they had skin in the game and they want to doge to go away.
SPEAKER_1 (4:44)
It's nice to see the Department of Justice also going after fraud in terms of COVID as well in the past couple of weeks. We've seen hundreds and hundreds of people being exposed for millions and tens of millions of dollars worth of COVID fraud.
