President Trump is suing Rupert Murdoch in the Wall Street Journal for defamation over a story about the
00:00:04
birthday letter that Trump allegedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein. And any thoughts on this?
00:00:08
First off, we should just refer to it as the Washington Epstein's. And it's it's
00:00:11
not Rosie O'Donnell, it's Rosio Epstein. The general sense of the Wall Street Journal is that they are serious
00:00:18
journalists and that if they put out something like this, they have double and triple checked it. I think Rupert
00:00:23
Murdoch is going to stick up the middle of finger and this will be dismissed. I think that Murdoch has been sitting in
00:00:28
the shallows like an old crocodile that he is waiting to get at Trump. He does not like this Republican party. He likes
00:00:34
the Republican party he can control, which is the old Republican party. He's also 109 years old. I don't think this
00:00:40
old crocodile gives a [ __ ] and he wants Trump gone. And so I think he's not going to give at all. They're not sloppy
00:00:45
at the Wall Street Journal and they would never have published this without all the receipts. Never.
