ROLL THE TAPE: 60 Minutes Opens Archive After Being Challanged By WH Adviser Pete Navarro

[kpete]

Said Navarro: “I challenge you: Show me the 60 Minutes episode a year ago, two years ago, or during the Obama administration, during the Bush administration, that said, ‘Hey, global pandemic’s coming, you gotta do X, Y, and Z, and by the way, we would shut down the entire global economy to fight it.’ Show me that episode, then you’ll have some credence in terms of attacking the Trump administration for not being prepared.”

Well, roll the videotape.

1. Thanks! This Realllly needs to be shared with as many deplorables as possible

[Steven Maurer]

83. They won't care. They lie and bullshit reflexively.

Getting them to admit Trump is incompetent is like getting them (when they have their Klan hoods on) to hug a black man.

It just doesn't happen.

[c_junk]

87. In this case they'll deflect...

First the recordings will be decried as a "deep fake", then the host will be excoriated for badgering Novarro. Then they'll probably probably say the whole broadcast is just a bunch of nasty gotcha questions. Of course this is assuming the next idiocy doesn't distract from this stupidity. Otherwise tRump might declare martial law and shutdown all the broadcasters who are transmitting stuff he doesn't want to hear...

Ya know it's not funny, he's nuts enough to try that...

[Maeve]

2. Oh, Lordy, there are tapes!

Don't challenge someone with decades of records to show you some!

[saidsimplesimon]

44. Great post, Maeve

[Person of Interest]

49. There are indeed tapes.

You beat me to it!! 👍

[crickets]

52. Boom, there it is. nt

[True Blue American]

73. :)

[underpants]

3. BURN! 🔥

With Dr. Fauci no less.

[pnwest]

77. I love that it's Dr Fauci. Delicious irony.

[onethatcares]

4. is it just me

or does Navarro look and sound just like a capo out of central casting?

[grantcart]

16. Well Trump reminds me of a Batman super villan

And his promise to pack the Churches by Easter as administer plot to kill Christians

[needledriver]

55. *45 is hardly a supervillan.

Supervillans have a plan.

Trump is more like the blabbermouth doofus henchman.

Putin is the supervillan.

[Marcuse]

67. I smile at your simile.

[Kaiserguy]

82. Trump is Putin

Mini Me

[needledriver]

84. Nope.

Verne Troyer was good at his job.

[Guilded Lilly]

5. There is a treacherous and lethal disease in the White House...

and the belligerent arrogance accompanying the profoundly egomaniacal STUPID is a nation killer.

Our collective refusal to succumb WILL prevail but with a very high price.

0h, and Challenge met, pal.
Credence proven.

[irisblue]

6. Navarro is an amazingly arrogant SOB

[Haggis for Breakfast]

91. And 60 Minutes just opened up a mighty can of whoop-ass on him.

It's amazing to me just how stupid these butt-trumpets are.

Do they think the whole country has amnesia ?

Like Keith Olbermann (Damn, Keith. We NEED you. WHERE are you ?) used to say, "Roll the tape."

[diverdownjt]

99. He can keep talking till they are all in jail.....

...You can hear the fear in his voice. He will regret every moment of working for
this admin. They all will. History will shred their credibility.

[IronLionZion]

7. Facts have a well known liberal bias

so this is just more evidence of the liberal media hoax to bring down Trump going back 15 years.

[calimary]

33. There IS that.

Reality does have a liberal bias. Why do you suppose the “reality show” mentality has gripped Dumbfuckistan?

[IronLionZion]

37. There is only one political party that has elected actors to be President

[calimary]

94. And governors (Schwarzenegger). And Senators too.

(George Murphy).

[MoonchildCA]

96. And Fred Thompson.

[calimary]

97. And Sonny Bono!

Lordy, don't forget Sonny Bono (even though many of us in California wanted to...)!

[Earth Bound Misfit]

8. 60 Minutes brings receipts...

[uponit7771]

9. Where tf did Navarro gets his degree? This guy sounds a lot off

[Lonestarblue]

11. Navarro is also the chief negotiator on the trade war with China.

He made up a trade expert, whom he cited repeatedly. The expert was simply himself, using an anagram of his last name. What an idiot. The inmates are running the mental institution called Trump’s presidency.

[pandr32]

56. Thanks for this

The nuts are indeed running the nuthouse.

We should simply refer to the Republicans as the 'Insane Party'.

[NewJeffCT]

15. He's one of the few on Team Trump that has a good academic background

He had a BA from Tufts for undergrad, then worked in the Peace Corps for 3 years, then got an MPA from Harvard (Master's in Public Administration) and a PhD in Economics from Harvard as well. Then, he taught at the UC-San Diego and then UC-Irvine (Katie Porter teachers there)

[grantcart]

17. But proves that " Everything Trump touches Dies"

[NewJeffCT]

70. Tru

but, compared to "all the best people" like

Stephanie Grisham - 2 DUIs and a high school diploma
Mike Pence - below average rated law school degree
Donald Trump - Fordham undergrad for 2 years (pretty good school, but nothing special) and then UPenn transfer when Daddy bought him a spot. Likely graduated with a large number of grades of the Gentleman's "C"

[uponit7771]

18. Hmmmm, maybe he's playing dumb on purpose to highlight that we were warned... don't know, these

... guys just seemed to be the dumbest of the bunch

[Ferrets are Cool]

36. Dogs

You got to be crazy, you gotta have a real need
You gotta sleep on your toes and when you're on the street
You got to be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight
You got to strike when the moment is right without thinking
And after a while, you can work on points for style
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in


You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
You know, it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder
As you get older
Yeah, and in the end you'll pack up and fly down south
Hide your head in the sand
Just another sad old man
All alone and dying of cancer


And when you lose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around
So have a good drown, as you go down all alone
Dragged down by the stone


Gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise
If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze
Deaf, dumb and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable, and no one has a real friend
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
Everything's done under the sun
But you believe at heart everyone's a killer


Who was born in a house full of pain
Who was trained not to spit in the fan
Who was told what to do by the man
Who was broken by trained personnel
Who was fitted with collar and chain
Who was given a pat on the back
Who was breaking away from the pack
Who was only a stranger at home
Who was ground down in the end
Who was found dead on the phone
Who was dragged down by the stone
Who was dragged down by the stone

[Laelth]

51. +1 for Pink Floyd. n/t

[olegramps]

39. Too bad his education has been "Trumped" by his radical blind hatred of liberalism.

I would like to remind people of the definition of a liberal...one who is open-minded or not strict in the observance of orthodox, traditional or established forms or ways. I like JFK am glad to be called a liberal.

[IronLionZion]

40. That's nice but that doesn't qualify him to be the COVID czar

They are useful skills to have but an economist is not who we need making public health decisions because he would have the wrong priorities.

[NewJeffCT]

57. 100% agree with that

he should be nowhere near the coronavirus response

[Demsrule86]

46. I would need to know his family background...plenty of people go to Harvard who are

from rich families...and they are not smart. This guy is arrogant but I don't see evidence of intelligence. And Trump has botched China and made us the laughingstock of the work and this guy certainly helped with China and not in a good way...by the way most who went to the peace corps were very wealthy kids with little direction many of whom were passed along by their professors.

[NewJeffCT]

63. according to wikipedia

his father was a saxophonist in a house band and his mom was a secretary at Saks 5th Avenue in NYC.

but, he was a university professor in California for upwards of 20 years, so I assume he's qualified to speak on economic issues, even if he's a diehard Republican. (Qualified doesn't make him correct)

[tosh]

68. Sounds as though

he knows better and he has simply sold himself out.

Sad.

[Volaris]

85. Then he cant possibly be this stupid to know that that particular and specific bluff..

WOULDNT get called.

Wtf was he trying to accomplish with that?

[NewJeffCT]

86. To be honest

the above response about Everything Trump Touches Dies is correct. I think Trump just buries people around him in such a constant stream of bullshit that it affects the ability of most to think straight (Comey saying that Trump eats your soul in small bites comes to mind as well)

[oldsoftie]

89. He's actually run for office a few times as a Democrat.

[HAB911]

10. K&R

[Roy Rolling]

12. Another Fox News Moron

The whole Trump team thinks they can roll over the media the same way they do on Fox News. This is why the whole cabal won’t appear anywhere but Fox News since Trump confessed to Lester Holt his obstruction of justice in the firing of Comey.

[gibraltar72]

13. But, but , but.

[spanone]

14. Navarro is a typical trump asshole.

[SKKY]

19. Here's the problem with that though...

...They didn't confront him to his face. That's why these guys get to walk away, relatively unscathed in the eyes of their supporters, and sell their narrative. Those clips needed to be put in front of him, to his face, and let him address it. To him, this is like someone getting a hole-in-one playing by themselves. It never happened.

[MyOwnPeace]

21. Wonder if any reporter

would have the courage to ask IQ45 about it at the daily horse & pony show?

[Main_St_Not_Wall_St]

53. Totally agree!

Totally agree! We see this happen all the time: someone makes a claim in "real time" which is later refuted by the facts, but by that time it doesn't matter because arguments are won in the moment.

This is why lies and liars are so hard to fight - you must have instant command of all data in real time, while liars only need to keep throwing s**t out there for people to get a whiff of.

[SKKY]

61. I feel honored you chose my post to respond to with one of your first!

Welcome do DU!

[I_UndergroundPanther]

90. Just reading that

Made me realize why I get triggered talking face to republicans and independants they are either lying manipulating uninformed or mucking up my point or preventing me from saying it by interupting .

I am sick of dealing with narcissists.

[Mr. Ected]

20. The question is, does this move the needle for any Trumpers?

I mean, let's face it, we all know the Trump administration is more full of shit than portapotties on race day. We knew immediately.

But are Trumpers swayed by these revelations at all?

They're the ones whose minds need to be changed.

Rest assured, they all heard Navarro's challenge. But how many heard 60 Minutes' response?

And how many LISTENED to 60 Minutes' response?

[MyOwnPeace]

22. I don't think

that their minds need to be changed (well, for one thing - that'll never happen!) - but we DO need to have those "undecideds" and those who say "both sides are the same" - we need THEM to wake up and realize that the true national disaster is IQ45 and his mis-administration.

[Mr. Ected]

28. If you're still undecided as to whether Trump is the worst excuse for a President ever

Then you're a fucking moron.

If our play is to sway fucking morons a/k/a undecideds, then let's be clear that's who we're seeking to turn.

i would guess some of them are the ones who are still lambasting Obama for being a socialist while anxiously accepting Trump's $1200 pay for play.

[johnthewoodworker]

41. I concur. I've never had faith in people who can't see the difference between a Trump, or a Biden,

and have to be swayed because they think the candidates are both so good/bad.

[calimary]

38. Now THAT is the line of the day.

“We all know the trump administration is more full of shit than portapotties on race day”!

Man! 🥇for that one, Mr. Ected!

[DBoon]

76. No. Trumpers don't watch 60 Minutes

It's not on Fox, so they consider it "Fake News"

If 60 Minutes were to say that the sun will rise tomorrow in the east, Trumpers will say it is fake news concocted by a deep state conspiracy funded by George Soros

[niyad]

23. Once again showing that rwnj's, pukes, do not seem to understand that, once spoken, written, filmed,

On the net, it is out there. Somebody has a copy., a screen shot, whatever. Of course, the base is easily persuaded it is fake.

[ananda]

24. What a POS.

he only thing I see Navarro coordinating is shoveling a mountain of bullshit through the tv screen. Of course, this is true of Trump and his entire admin!

[marble falls]

25. And what was Navarro's response? ...

[2naSalit]

26. They lie so much that they can't remember which lie

they told and when. The thing about lies is that you have to remember all of them to keep it all straight. Truth only requires that you remember one set of facts.

Another thing, as an old proverb says, "Trying to hide a lie is like trying to hide an awl in a cloth bag."

[Gothmog]

27. Peter Navarro is an idiot

[volstork]

29. How stupid do they think we all are?

I know-- pretty damn stupid.

[dalton99a]

30. Navarro is all lies and zero integrity.

Typical of the Trump White House

[Capperdan]

31. He won't watch them

Just like Trump won't read replies on Twitter.

[Roland99]

32. 60 Minutes brings the receipts!

[Hulk]

34. But these fook'rs don't care about facts.

This is frustrating as hell. They simply deny facts. They exist in an alternate reality. You might as well beat your head against a brick wall.

Oh...and that woman is accusing VP Biden of sexually assaulting her. THAT'S the story they are focused on...because tRumpf's 25+ accusers don't matter.

[SayItLoud]

35. Great, but 60 mins is too deep for most #Cult45 ers to grasp.

The few % that understand how ill prepared and incapable tRUMP is to deal with anything are the few % that care about $ more than life. Oh, they justify their positions and beliefs with clouds of BS but cut through it and it's always about the $.

[Javaman]

42. while politicians have self induced short memories...

the Press generally doesn't.

that was a very poor challenge, but then again navarro has very poor intelligence.

[patphil]

43. Peter is a guy who portrays himself as a know-it-all.

And, he is a very bright guy. He's a Harvard graduated economist, and apparently very well read.
His problem is, as is the case with so many Trump administration officials, that he believes he always knows best.

It's called intellectual arrogance; a combination of intelligence and knowledge, but with a huge infusion of egotism that dismisses the credentials of others as simply not be up to his.

In other words, an intellectual asshole.

[Demsrule86]

45. Trump is the most stupid incompetent sociopathic president to ever hold the office and

anyone else would have done a better job than he did...anyone. God help us to get through this with out killing 50 million people and destroying our economy.

[DesertRat]

47. k&r

[JohnnyRingo]

48. Now if they can get Navarro back on

He should have to eat those words.

[NCjack]

59. He will restrict himself to Faux Newz. nt

[dpibel]

50. The King says 1917

Note that Navarro refers to the 1918 pandemic as happening in 1917. Because that's what Trump keeps saying. And we must support the word of the king.

[oasis]

93. Dolt45 keeps using 1917 for the Spaish Flu. Stable genius hates being wrong.

[Disaffected]

54. This video is not

available in Canada. '

Why do they do (or not do) that??

[Vinca]

58. And that doesn't include the later video of Obama speaking about the need

to prepare for the next pandemic and what he was doing about it. Navarro is an ass-kissing fool.

[BeckyDem]

60. Ya gotta love tape.

[gopiscrap]

62. excellent

[matt819]

64. Oh sure

Republican response:

That was 15 years ago.

And 11 years ago.

And, sure, the Obama administration set up a pandemic response and funded stockpiles.

But. . . but. . . prove it. Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah.

I know you are what what am I?

Yo' mama.

[Iggo]

65. Receipts, motherfucker!

Judge Wapner says, "You have a receipt? Okay I'll be back in a minute with my ruling."

[demmiblue]

66. K&R

[Dem2theMax]

69. I watched it on TV last night.

I had so much fun yelling at that SOB! Even if he couldn't hear me.

I didn't watch this clip since I already watched the show. But did any of you hear him referring to 'Trump time?'
As in the length of time it takes something to happen, when Trump is running the show. The way he said it, he thought it was a good thing. The way it came out, wasn't.

I think we could put 'Trump time' to good use around here.

[RRDrummer]

71. Just curious.....

As to how many fucking times The Trump Administration has to get cock whipped with a fist full of receipts before we all get on board as a society with the reality of his apoplectic failure as a president.

[underpants]

79. Just a few more should do it

Cock whipped

[Iggo]

81. I know, right?

[Iggo]

80. I'm with you.

[SunSeeker]

74. K & R for exposure.

[Blue Owl]

75. Hey Navarro: Go fuck yourself

n/t

[Joinfortmill]

78. Thank you. Shared it everywhere.

[efhmc]

88. So perfect.

[rpannier]

92. In fairness to Navarro

These new fangled taping machines and recorders, how could he know that they had that capability.

He's incompetent. This is why he fits so nicely in this maladministration

[Tarheel_Dem]

95. Receipts! I love it!

[nolabear]

98. LOL! No wonder Spanky's so intent on discrediting CBS.
