All right, welcome to I've had it weekend.
I am back with one of our favorites, best friend of the show, Jim Acosta.
Jim, there are so many grievances that we can jump on.
But is there anything off the top that you've had it with, you want to get off your chest,
political or otherwise?
I mean, gosh, you know, Natalie Harp, are we on the decoy plane or are we riding in the trunk?
That's my question right now, you know.
I mean, does she look into the mirror and say, mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall?
who's the creepiest of them all.
I've covered politics for a long time in D.C.
And you hear of presidents having a body man or a body person.
She's sort of like the presidential super fan.
It's just the weirdest thing.
I don't know.
Maybe I'm overly obsessed with this or fixated on this,
but it is just the strangest, one of the strangest things I've ever heard of covering politics.
And A, jumping into the trunk of a car so she gets to take close to Donald Trump.
That's so weird.
She jumped into the trunk of a car.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know if you.
So this was being reported that this was a few years ago that, you know, she was supposed
to get in his motorcade and there wasn't enough room in the car.
And she said, okay, I'll get in the trunk.
She got in the trunk.
This is according to my old place reporting this.
And there aren't pictures yet, but apparently there are photographs that people around Trump have of this.
And they're not sharing with reporters yet, but, you know, it's only a matter of time.
Oh, it's only a matter of time because you know they just love knifing each other there in the office.
They do.
They love it.
Yeah.
Jim, you know what's interesting to me is if Obama, if Joe Biden, if there were President
Harris and they had an aid like Natalie Hart, stalking, approved stalking, if you will,
of the President of the United States, Fox News would lose their mind.
They would lose their minds.
But furthermore, I find it interesting that the entire MAGA movement, the, the
women, the misogynist women of the MAGA movement. I'm talking about Katie Miller, the former
press secretary of Caroline Levitt, at Erica Kirk, et cetera. They're all about women, get married and
breed. You have to get married and breed and be a trad wife and, you know, only women that have
babies are happy. Well, Natalie Harp is a 35-year-old, unmarried childless woman. And I don't give a shit
about that because I don't care if people breed or not. Breeding is hard, not the making
it, but the actual, you know, growing and raising the child is a really difficult thing. It's
expensive. But Jesse Waters is starting to weigh in on this. And you know, I love Lady Waters in a really
demented kind of way, right? We know you do, but it's good. Yeah, I like to, I like to study Lady Waters.
And I'd like to welcome all the Fox News producers that are watching because they probably found out
you and I are together today. So hello, guys. Welcome. Hi, guys. Yes. Feel free to clip away and put us on
your show. Yeah. But here is Lady Waters talking about John Ossoff, because John Ossoff really, he is
all gas, no breaks right now with this thing.
And I love it. He is Pitbull City, and I'm all about laser focus on the corruption and the weird
shit that these people are doing. So here's Ms. Pris, and it kind of sounds like he might be
defending awesome. I want to get your take on this. Play the clip. Okay, sounds good.
Is by this comment, no, has Trump said so much worse, so much more sleazy things against
other people? Yes, have I defended those things? Absolutely. So I'm not going to pretend I'm all hot and
bothered about it. And the president doesn't even care. He's like, well, yeah, you know, he's hot and
bothered by John Ossoff. Let's just be real. That's what's happening here. That's what's going on here.
He let it slip. It came out. I mean, John Ossoff has been playing, I mean, I've been saying this on my show,
he's been playing Trump like a harp. You know, he has figured out how to push Trump's buttons.
It is a it is not a skill that everybody learns.
I had heard that, you know, that was something that I was capable of doing, even though I didn't know I was doing.
I was just doing my job, but it pushed his buttons.
But John Oshoff has figured it out.
And when Fox starts to pay attention, I saw Laura Ingram, who's another one of the goofy ones over there.
And she was talking about Ossoff's makeup.
And I'm thinking to myself, are you fucking kidding me?
Your daddy, Donald Trump, wears more makeup than like, you know, what you would find on hand.
at a, you know, Eastern European whorehouse.
Like, that is, that is the pot calling the kettle orange.
But yeah, no, it's kind of remark,
Assoff is having a moment.
There's no question about it.
Okay.
So now this week, the White House has, is attacking the reporter who asked Trump about
Ossoff's comments.
Pop this up.
Yeah.
At Kristen H. CNN is disgraceful, humiliating embarrassment to her alleged profession.
At POTUS hosts a hero lifeguard in the Oval Office, and she uses it as an opportunity to take a cheap shot about one of the President Trump's staffers.
These scumbags are the lowest of the low.
Jim.
The fact that all they have is you don't love America.
you're a scumback.
They don't, there's no policy beyond that.
And the fact that they are so vociferously defending this Natalie Harpshit tells me my hypothesis
that she could be a national security threat, that she knows some stuff because I think
it's safe to assume when he's doing all of his crazy unhinged tweeting at night, she's with
him.
Because we know from 2016, when you covered it, he can't spell.
He doesn't have proper grammar.
And now everything is buttoned up.
It's still batshit crazy.
But there are not spelling errors and grammatical errors, despite the proper nouns sometimes
being or non-proper nouns being capitalized in a weird format.
Yeah.
But if he is the way we see him in public, imagine what he's like in private.
And Natalie Harp is by his side at all times.
And so this is really, they're overreacting to this whole thing, in my opinion.
So does she know a lot of shit and does she threaten to spill the beans if she doesn't get to maintain all of this access?
Does Susie while say, hey, you're getting creepy.
You get the hell out of here Natalie.
And she's like, well, are you sure you want to do that, Susie?
Because all these people are psycho.
That's true.
Yeah, they're going to have to find her like a weird ambassadorship or something to keep her quiet.
But, you know, if it wasn't weird already, the White House has made it weird the way they've completely overreact.
and freaked out over this. The way they went after Kristen Holmes of CNN, you know, she was a producer of
mine back in the day when we covered the 2016 campaign together. And she's a great reporter, a nice
person. She's a mom. She's got kids. I mean, for the White House to invoke her children to bring her
children into this, it is disgraceful. It's despicable. And to me, it just shows their true colors.
And Susie Wiles, the chief of staff, do you have, do not have a soul? Have you no shame? You, you,
You're not going to fire somebody on that rapid response 47 team for tweeting about a reporter's kids.
I mean, it's absolutely appalling.
But putting that to the side, I mean, I think what they've done over the White House has made Natalie Harp a story, which is the stupidest thing to do.
And I, you know, I remember, you know, there was an old GOP, a flack friend of mine used to say back in the day, never let the staff be the story.
And they've totally allowed that to happen with Natalie Harp.
And she's apparently she has like this really strange.
sphinx-like role with Donald Trump where she's allowed access to him, whereas nobody else is
allowed that kind of individual time with him. Apparently, she answers to nobody. Maggie Haberman
has referred to her as Donald Trump's binkie as his security blanket. What does that say about the
state of affairs of this country when the president of the United States needs a binkie? I mean,
we already knew he was a man-child, but I guess this clenches it. And, you know, I just think that the whole
damn thing is strange and I agree with you I think it is a national security problem um apparently she's
just like this super fan who's glommed on to him and because he's his his you know his psyche is so
fractured and in such a fragile state that he needs somebody like that around him at all time like she
leaves little personal notes for him around the residents like you know i just want you to know you're a
wonderful person she does shit like that something that like somebody's spouse would do when they're like
Think about all of these people for decades now, long before Trump, the Republican Party lecturing all of us about family values and traditional families.
And here we have in the Oval Office, we have a first lady who hates her husband.
And how do we know this?
Because in her $40 million heaping pile of dog shit documentary, she made sure to let the public know, I don't sleep in the same bed with him.
I do not have sex with that man.
She wanted all of us to know that.
And now he's running around with this 35-year-old bat shit crazy mentally and emotionally
unstable loon.
And then they have a coordinated attack online where they want to tell all of us that we're
sexist and John Ossoff is sexist.
And here's what they don't get.
You guys are the sexist misogynist once.
You are propping up these lunatics.
and then you're so thin-skinned that any time we call a spade a spade, you have to creep over into your little safe spaces.
And the fact that Donald Trump has to have a human being to constantly coddle him tells you not only what a national security risk it is for her to have all this access to the president.
Furthermore, our adversaries know this shit.
Right now, recently, he is playing patty cake.
again with his boyfriend Kim Jong-un.
And you notice that what China, what Russia, what all of our adversaries want is a weak
dollar.
They want a weak United States of America.
And our dipshit, smoky-eyed sociopath, Vice President J.D.
Vance is out there talking about how great it is to devalue the dollar.
Well, who wants that?
Do Americans want that?
No.
Do American businesses want that?
No.
Who wants that is China and Russia?
So it's just really insane.
But furthermore, can we just talk about the fact that Donald Trump has said that Saudi Arabia can have nuclear weapons?
Yes.
Saudi Arabia funded 9-11?
Yeah. It's totally nuts.
And I mean, and just the other day he was, you know, posting on true social that the straight of war moves is going to become a U.S. territory.
And he's talking about bombing Oman.
I mean, he's totally crazy. He's totally out of control.
Every day, there's a 25th Amendment example.
You and I have gotten heated over this before, but like Joe Biden bowing out of the 2024 campaign
over saying, you know, we killed Medicare.
He had a brain fart moment or whatever.
Donald Trump does that like multiple times a fucking day.
And I don't understand.
It is the weirdest thing in Washington, D.C. right now.
It is the most undercover thing that I've ever seen in my entire career.
The fact that he says and does ridiculously strange things on a daily basis that would
call into question the mental well-being of.
any other U.S. president, but because of the way he's gotten the press under his thumb in this country,
they feel like they can't report on it. Or if they do, they sort of lightly tiptoe through the tulips.
And it's just doing a total disservice. But I mean, I think you're right. I think this, this,
I think they floated out this trial balloon that, yeah, we're going to give Saudi Arabia
nukes, you know, and they were claiming, oh, it's just a, it's just a civilian nuclear program.
It's just for their power needs. And so they have more fucking oil than, I mean, they could just
burn oil for like the next 3,000 years to keep the lights on in Riyadh.
They don't need nuclear power.
The purpose of having nuclear power in Saudi Arabia would seem to me is to convert that into
nuclear weapon use.
They've seen what the Israeli military can do.
And people who don't understand this, they perceive Iran as a threat.
And if Trump is going to let Iran hang on to its nuclear program as a way to get out of this
stupid war of choice that he's launched this country into, then of course the Saudis are going to
want nukes. And he is destabilizing the region even more so. So I agree with you. I think it's,
you know, and to put this, I agree with the 9-11 reference. I brought this up the other day.
We're almost at the 25th anniversary of 9-11 and he's talking about allowing the Saudis to
develop a nuclear program. Like at what point does somebody grab the car keys and take the remote
control away from grandpa.
It makes no sense.
Yeah.
And let's remember that Saudi Arabia killed, dismembered, poured into acid, and then down
the drain, a journalist.
Yeah, Jamal Khashoggi.
And so the fact, I think there's a missed opportunity here by the Democrats.
I love the Natalie Harp attack, but I think it's a real missed opportunity.
Yeah, I agree.
You not be talking about how the president of the United States is funding terrorists and
he is offering a soft place for terrorists to land because they would jump on this so fast,
who would make your husband.
So I think the Democrats really need to start integrating this on the campaign trail
because we see that all of these Donald Trump endorsed candidates are losing.
And they're losing by double digits.
And so I think this is a missed opportunity.
But let's talk about one of the guardrails that doesn't exist this shit.
And of course I'm talking about little Moses Mike Grindr, Johnson, the Speaker of the House,
who has no fucking idea that he actually is.
Speaker of the House because he thinks his job is to talk about how great Trump is and to
be put on a master class all day every day, how to be a beta, how to be a beta.
That's what the speaker of the House does.
So here he is right here.
And he says that Americans are grateful for the war in Iran.
Play the clip.
Yeah.
The Iran conflict has been the cause, of course, the gas prices going up.
I am grateful, and I think all Americans of good sense are grateful that we have the greatest
fighting force in the world, in the history of the world. Our men and women in uniform are the brave
people who preserve freedom and stand on that line every single day. We're grateful. I've heard enough.
Mike Johnson doesn't give a shit about the troops, and I have had it from top to bottom with these
Republicans lying and say they care about the troops. It's performative word salad.
bullshit you never back it up with policy you never back it up with money they don't give a
shit that these sailors on the u s lincoln are starving or throwing themselves overboard or have like
major massive mental problems right now because the military and people like moses
mike grinder are treating them like absolute shit and even saying oh that's fake news i am so sick of
these lying oh the lord woke me up in the middle of the night said wake up buddy you're moses and
And then this is what he does.
This is what God, you know, this is God's guy in the, in the Speaker of the House position.
This is such a pathetic group of men.
They are just the most pathetic, most worthless piece of men on the planet.
Jim, go off about him.
No, and I mean, he's only going to be the Speaker of the House for a few more months because, I mean, unless there's something like Trump tries to cancel the elections and gets away with it, you know, Mike John, the House Republicans are going to get swept out.
Democrats are going to come in, could be a pretty healthy majority for the Democrats, in part because of the shitty job that Mike Johnson has done as Speaker of the House.
There's literally, there's literally zero oversight from the Republicans when it comes to anything that Donald Trump has done.
I mean, you want to talk about the Iran War, which has resulted in gas prices shooting up.
People are paying through the nose to just put gas in their car right now, pay for groceries.
I mean, going to the grocery store for a lot of people sucks big time right now because of,
the way that inflation has just completely hit all of our lives.
On top of that, you have the corruption.
I mean, the just unbelievably unprecedented corruption.
I was talking to Larry Sabado, who runs the Center for Politics over at UVA,
and he is saying that, you know, Donald Trump is going to go down without question as the
worst president of all time, and in part because of how thoroughly corrupt he is.
This whole thing where he has made billions of dollars off of crypto and these sketchy stock trades
And it's absolutely insane.
And so everybody else takes it, you know, takes it on the chin.
I'm being diplomatic there.
While Trump is making off like a bandit is totally, totally nuts.
And, you know, for Mike, I mean, Mike Johnson, I will tell you, he kind of wins.
I don't know who is the most shameless person in Washington, but Mike Johnson has got to be right there in the shamelessness Olympics.
Because to be able to go and say that people are grateful for the Iran war, I mean,
I mean, that is just like a stupid lie that is completely shameless.
I completely agree.
Listen to this.
Here is a mother of a sailor on the USS Lincoln.
Speaking out.
Play the clip.
Tell me things all day long, but, you know, in an email, but not seeing or hearing him is what gets me.
And I think that's the biggest issue.
I don't think it's the ship is the issue.
I think it's, it's our.
president it's our government that's not helping the morale i think she's a trump yeah yeah it's incredible
and i've spoken with um i've been texting back and forth with the mother of a sailor who was on the u s
tripoli and was saying the same thing the food was awful her son had lost 30 pounds something along
those lines and she said her son at one point had to talk somebody out of committing suicide
um and you know the maga and the white house uh bots
and trolls and so on.
You know, you put this stuff out there on social media as I have and others have,
and they'll say, oh, you know, fuck you, Acosta, you know,
if these sailors can't take it, they're in the wrong line of business and so on.
Screw you.
I mean, honestly, like, this is the result of the fact that Donald Trump put a complete
buffoon in charge of the Pentagon.
Pete Hexseth has no business being in charge of the Pentagon.
And of course you're going to have these kinds of logistical nightmares.
when you have a Fox News weekend morning anchor suddenly taking over the Department of Defense.
It's totally bananas.
And then Trump gets into a war of choice that he can't get himself out of.
And so, of course, you're going to run to these issues.
And Jen, you and I have been around long enough to remember what happened during the Iraq war,
where you had these multiple deployments over and over again.
And it literally broke families and marriages and just ripped people to shreds.
And Donald Trump got out on that campaign trial.
I was there in 2016 where he pledged that he would not get this country into another one of these fucked up wars.
And he totally did it.
He totally did it.
And it might be-
Remember when George H.W. Bush lost because he said, read my lips.
No new taxes.
That's right.
And then he raised taxes.
And he paid for it.
And he was a one-term president because of that.
And again, we can diagnose all.
these problems, Jim, which we are. But I think the Democrats have got to have, you know,
multifaceted attacks all the time. Walk and chew gum out the wazoo. We've got Natalie Hart.
We have him colluding with the terrorist country, Saudi Arabia, who funded 9-11, who kills
journalists. This is who. And then they want to lecture us and they want to say, oh,
Zorn Mamdani wants Sharia law in New York. When that guy is like speaking for universal human rights,
point out the hypocrisy. But the biggest.
hypocrisy of the Republicans for me. This bullshit lie, we're fiscal conservatives.
Right.
We're so good with business. We're so concerned about the national debt. We are so patriotic
when my entire adult life, Republican presidents always do the following. They get into office,
lower the taxes on the richest, blame the poorest for all of the country's problems.
They say, oh, we love the troops. They send the troops to the front line. Dick Cheney's
ass never went to the front line. George W. Bush's ass never went to the front line. Donald
Trump's ass never went to the front line. Carl Rove never went to the front line. All these people
who are so hyped up were such supporters of the military. They ship them off and they treat them like
shit. And it's all just performative lip service about it. Then now this regime is like, oh, you don't
like it. What are you a pussy? That's basically what they're all saying online right now. When you look at
the homeless population of the United States of America, a third of them are veterans.
One third.
Veterans hospitals are so underfunded.
And Donald Trump, all the neocons that served with him, who I disagree with, who I don't even
think are that great of people in Trump 1.0.
All of these people said, he is a fascist.
He has no respect for the military.
He wanted to shoot civilians in the legs.
And these are neocons.
on hardcore conservatives. And so I just, I want to see more attacks out of the Democrats on this
stuff. But here's, there's some that are really doing a good job. Here is Representative Jason
Crowe responding to Pete Loty Hegseth. Play the clip.
Be surprised that a grossly incompetent and corrupt TV personality with zero experience
running a major national security agency, let alone our Department of Defense,
is failing to do the job. There are a hundred plus other places around the world where Pete
has Hegeseth needs to be managing wars, managing conflicts, checking on the health and welfare of our
troops instead of campaigning in Iowa. What do you think about Pete? I want him to run, run for president.
Let's do it. One fuck it. Absolutely. I mean, I think right now, I mean, you know, this is sort of the,
you know, who wants to be Trump's successor. You know, this is a game show.
that Trump is running right now.
And I think Pete Heggseth is a contestant.
I mean, I think Jason Crow is absolutely right.
The fact that Pete Heggseth is in Iowa, while you have this ridiculous scandal with aircraft carriers that don't have enough provisions for the sailors, Marines serving on board, it's totally nuts.
And I think Pete Heggseth will be, he will be a gift to all of us, Jen.
For all of us who rely on content creation, we're like, please, give us more content to talk about.
about Pete Hecteth will be an endless geyser.
He will, Natalie Harp, you ain't seen nothing yet.
Pete Hectorth will definitely do that.
Apparently, I saw some pictures where he showed up
and I with this giant belt buckle and all this shit.
And I'm like, what?
He thinks he's George W. Bush down in Crawford, Texas or something.
You know, he is a ridiculous person.
I mean, I've heard a lot of talk around DC that RFK Jr.
Wants to run for president on the Republican side.
I think he's another.
I'm an endorse him right now.
I mean.
I'm endorsing R of K Jr. for president on the Republican side right now.
With Pete and Seth, I'm going to, I'm going to start endorsing on both sides, the Republican
and the Republican.
I want the craziest, I want the craziest motherfucker possible at the top of the ticket.
And you're going to get that.
I mean, it's, you know, who is, who is the craziest fuckers?
This should be the game show.
And I mean, an R of K junior, R of K Jr.
I mean, he sounds like Catherine Hepburn and on Golden Pond when he, you know,
Ah, you know, the way he.
It's amazing to me that Donald Trump can fall asleep in the Oval Office when RFK Jr. is, you know,
prattling on about vaccines.
It's just so crazy.
Okay, Jim, I want to get your take on the, you worked in corporate media.
And I have always been like, fight.
Do not capitulate to this man.
Yeah.
Do not.
Do not succumb to his demands.
Take it to court.
He always gets his ass beaten court.
Well, ABC is fighting back.
Pop this up.
ABC has filed a First Amendment lawsuit against the FCC in D.C. District Court.
The suit says the Trump administration has waged a retaliatory campaign against ABC for a single reason.
It disapproves of what ABC broadcasts. And this to me, kudos to ABC. We have got to fight these people.
Fight for your customers. Fight for this country. Be a guardrail. Corporations have more
power because the Supreme Court has given it to them. And at some point, you have to realize who
butters your bread corporations, and it's us. We do. That's right. What's your take on this?
I think it's terrific. You know, I like you, you know, I had a field day beating up on ABC and CBS
for bending the knee at the beginning of the second go-round with Donald Trump. And I mean,
you remember, I mean, just to flashback to that moment, when ABC
you know paid that ridiculous basically extortion payment to Donald Trump and then
CBS did it felt like the wheels were coming off the fucking country it felt really in the law
firms and so on and it scared the shit out of a lot of people that all of these major
institutions were bending the knee and bowing down to the wannabe dictator and it was part
of the reason why I left I would you know that you remember CNN want to be to the
midnight shift right when Donald Trump was coming back and I was like fuck that noise I'm not
doing that and I you know I just think that this is this is a very good thing that ABC is coming around
to this and it means it means so much to me that they're doing it because it says that they're
starting to realize what and it goes back to what you're just saying a few moments ago what the
right special sauce is what the right recipe is for taking on Donald Trump and it's pretty fucking
simple it's just you have to stand up to the bully in the schoolyard you cannot you cannot
take this this bullshit where he thinks oh if I just beat up the little kid in class he'll give
me his lunch money and you know CBS look what CBS is done they've they've totally paid the price
they've they've been sold off to the Ellison's and now you have 60 minutes I mean I guess 60
minutes is what it's just done now we're just going to have like this ridiculous oligarch approved
version of 60 minutes coming out this fall it's totally insane and crazy and I you know the ratings
at CBS have tanked because of all of this.
And I think ABC, it's exactly what you're saying a few moments ago.
It's not just that they summon the courage.
They summon their bank accounts.
They summoned their bean counters.
And the bean counters are like, you know, when we tried a shit can Jimmy Kimmel,
we lost, we almost lost a shit ton of money and almost lost our shirts.
And, you know, for Donald Trump to sick Brendan Carr's media henchman on ABC,
simply because what?
Because the ladies on the view talk about him.
Because Jimmy Kimmel tells him.
What a pussy.
I mean, it's unbelievable.
It is.
Joy Behar hurt your feelings.
Are you serious?
I mean, isn't that why he has Natalie Hart in the first place?
These people want to lecture us.
Pete Hick-Seth wants to lecture people about testosterone.
So he has this whole policy of gender affirming care.
And Donald Trump spirals out about the view.
And I'm telling you, liberal women trigger the shit out of these maga men.
They really do.
terrified of white liberal women.
White liberal women are a stain on democracy.
And I'm like, speaking of stains, why don't you ask the house cleaners at the White House
House what Lady Trump's pillowcases look like when he wakes up in the morning?
I mean, these are the most pathetic people.
And these white men, these white pink arm, crusty country club Republican Trump supporting
men are terrified of the ladies on the view.
And I'm going to say it because now, because Trump won again, we can say pussy again.
What a bunch of pussies.
All of these maga men are.
There's your clip, Fox News.
Why don't you put that out there?
There you go, Jesse.
Clip it.
Clip it, Lady Waters.
I just think that I just want to second everything you just said there.
Thank you, it is the damnedest thing.
They want to live in the Handmaid's Tale.
They want women to just,
shut their mouth and get back to the kitchen.
And it's just so disgraceful what this country has become and the way that Donald Trump has, he's the one who complains about weaponized government, cries about weaponized government.
They're the ones who do the fucking government weaponization.
And, you know, the way they've gone after the networks, the way they've gone after journalists, the way they've gone after immigrants, the way they've gone after Jim Comey and people like Donald Trump's perceived political enemies.
It's all government weaponization.
And I've been saying this on my show.
At some point, some of these clowns have committed crimes.
You know, the way that they keep trying to put his name back on the Kennedy Center and all of this shit.
At some point, somebody somewhere has committed a fucking crime.
And there needs to be accountability for all of this at the end of the day.
And Trump has talked about pardoning everybody under the sun.
He's not going to pardon everybody.
And people need to understand that if you, I mean, I just, I wonder has Brendan Carr committed crimes here?
Of course they all have.
As he at the very least opened himself up to lawsuits, the way he's tried to go around ruining
people's careers.
And I, you know, if I were him, I would lawyer up.

Well, next time.
Next time.
All right.
Thanks so much, Jim.
