President Donald Trump says he's going to call for an investigation into Kamala Harris' presidential campaign appearances by certain celebrities ... accusing the former vice president of illegally paying for their endorsements.
00:00Fresh off his calling out Taylor Swift, the president has decided there are a bunch of other celebrities that he wants investigated, actually, namely Beyonce, Bruce Springsteen, and Oprah.
00:15The Bruce one doesn't surprise me because of their tiff from last week.
00:19Oh, they went back and forth.
00:19It seems like President Trump's been looking for a reason to go after Springsteen, and he thinks that he and Oprah and Beyonce were illegally paid to endorse Kamala Harris.
00:30And so he is calling for an investigation.
00:33We know what that means when he says, I'm calling for a major investigation.
00:38That means he calls up the attorney general and says, Pam, do your thing.
00:42Can I use my sometimes faulty memory for a second?
00:45My recollection is this came up with Oprah, and she squarely addressed it when she had that town hall with her, and she said, I didn't get anything.
00:55Right.
00:56My memory?
00:56That is, your memory is correct.
00:58Ah!
00:59Yeah.
00:59Ah!
00:59In fact, this is in this video where she said it.
01:01Oh, okay.
01:02Yeah.
01:03There you go.
01:04So that one, that ship made it.
01:07Prevagen.
01:07No, just kidding.
01:08I didn't.
01:08I'm not using it.
01:10He's not endorsing anything.
01:13Well, for free, I'm not endorsing anything.
01:14So the Oprah.
01:18Any advertisers out there?
01:20But yeah, so Oprah's addressed this, and now he wants Bruce and Beyonce to do the same.
01:26Even the Beyonce call out was like, not only did she get paid, but she didn't even sing a song.
01:32She just went up there and did the endorsement and walked off.
01:34And he's like, how embarrassing that she wouldn't sing.
01:36I've got a question.
01:37Actually, I'm the lawyer, and I should know this.
01:39But is it illegal for a celebrity to take money?
01:45I thought if there's any issue, it's going to be on the candidate and the candidate's organization.
01:51But I don't know that it's wrong for him.
01:53I don't know either.
01:54And the other thing that's, I don't know.
01:55It seems weird for the guy who had his buddy holding a lottery to get people to vote for him, that he is calling out someone else for maybe paying, I don't know.
02:10It was obviously, the must thing was open to all types of voters.
02:13But anyway, I think this is stupid.
02:16I think it's a misstep for Trump, and I know he cannot help himself sometimes, but there are a lot of really positive things going on right now for his administration, at least the way I see it.
02:25And I think this distracts.
02:27Who cares?
02:27You handily beat Kamala Harris in the election.
02:30Why look back?
02:31Who cares what Beyonce got or Oprah got?
02:33It's irrelevant.
02:34It doesn't matter.
02:35Just why distract from a lot of the good things happening?
02:38Honestly, if they did get paid, it was money wasted by the Democrats and by Kamala's campaign.
02:43Why put the attention back on the election? Who cares? It's over with. It's months ago.
02:47He just can't let it go.
02:49And it's interesting because, you know, I will say, Charles and I were just talking about this during the break.
02:53There's a Trump policy now when it comes to dealing with the rest of the world.
02:58And the way it's shaping up is you're not going to judge other countries based on Democratic values.
03:03It's all based on money.
03:04Transactions.
03:05And it's, you know, and it's creating a light.
03:07If there's money in it for America, he's all for it.
03:10And if there's money in it for him, he might be in for that too.
03:12And it's getting some traction.
03:13If I get a jet here or there?
03:14But that's getting some traction even on the left.
03:18Even on the left.
03:19So, like Babcock says.
03:22Some traction on the left.
03:23I didn't say a lot.
03:24But a lot of it has to do with the messenger.
03:26Right.
03:27And a 747.
03:28Exactly.
03:28But beyond that, it is getting some traction.
03:31To now, you know, get into Beyonce and Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen.
03:35We all know there's a reason, right?
03:37This is all.
03:37Can't let it go.
03:38One, can't let it go.
03:40And two, he knows that people will talk about that and they'll stop talking about other things.
03:45KC, California.
03:46Trump needs to focus on bigger issues going on in the U.S.
03:50Also, I feel like if he wants to gain more respect from more people, he needs to just act.
03:55If he's going to do the investigation, then do the investigation.
03:58He needs to stop going to social media and ranting.
04:01But I feel like this is a ploy to get everyone riled up again, cause more division, and gain more attention.
04:08Okay, so I got a question for you.
04:10If a video surfaces of Pam Bondi rocking out at a Springsteen concert, does she get fired?
04:19I think she probably will.
04:20I think Trump will go that far and do that, too.
