Earlier this morning our president called-in to Fox Business for an extensive interview with Maria Bartiromo. President Trump covered a multitude of topics from the ongoing election, to the debate changes, to the efforts to get the intelligence community to declassify documents related to his three-years of targeting by deep state officials.
Watched the interview this a.m. Maria had to bring up the polls (as she is instructed to do by Fox). Dagan McDowall also got roasted for trying to say that President Trump should no longer bring up the coup attempt and move on to Covid and economy!
Great interview…Maria came to interrupt but finally after the 30 minute mark she allowed 45 to speak clearly truly and without filter!
What’s with Maria? Her accusatory and demanding tone was offensive – who does she think she is?
Joan: She kept interrupting also. I understand sometimes they want to move on to another subject, but they need to understand we want to hear what the President has to say.
…an employee and FOX!
‘of’ FOX. Sorry
She is just playing to the audience just like tucker and hannity and Dobbs. They are really no different then any other Faux News employees on the puppet stings be directed by their progressive leaders.
I think Maria was simply trying to get the Prez to move to some key topics on her list instead of the same ones he’s brought up so many times already.
Maria had a list of issues / topics and she has to watch the clock and try to squeeze in the questions on her list. They may have been using a connection that probably wasn’t strong in full duplex mode. When the Prez was talking he probably couldn’t hear her trying to squeeze in a question. That may be a consequence of whatever delay system they are using, or the security apparatus at the WH, etc.
POTUS did complain about the connection at one point so I think I’m in the ballpark..
Very astute hypothesis.
Thanks.
Agree – it looks to me like a technology being pushed to its current limits and getting in the way of almost every important interview we’ve seen all year.
I blame China.
We listen hard and try to get used to it. But it’s only one of many inhumanizing difficulties foisted upon us by COVID-1984 – ones that, as adaptable humans, we tend to forget and grow used to.
Acceptance of any of this is an emotional danger of which I am very wary.
No new normals!
Hello, Bill Barr! Can you hear the President and the American people? Do your dammed job already. By not indicting these criminals before the election, you ARE exerting undue influence on the election! What are you gonna, do? Indict Biden AFTER you let him win? Get on with it or get the hell out of the way!
This is an email I sent to Barr a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately it is now too late for him to do anything – not that he ever intended to.
“It is now just weeks away from the election and you are content to let the American people vote with a large number of them not knowing about the attempted coup and thinking President Trump was wrong when he said he was spied on and that he caught them all. This is a disgrace and proof that you have dragged this out for the purpose of a coverup. Not only have you failed at this but you have failed to stand up for the violation of our constitutional rights which are being trampled on every day.
Do not think you are going to get away with covering up the many crimes committed by corrupt traitors in our government. We The People are not going to stand idly by while our country is taken down by criminals and cowards. Better get busy and do the right thing, while you still can, or the wrath of the people is coming.”
I send one of these weekly to the AG office. I am sure they get a good chuckle at our expense.
Been there, done that; I too foolishly thought it would help. (That’s why I posted my thoughts to him here this time- at least they’ll get read!)
Thank You! Sundance. You do an outstanding job! We’re grateful!
What’s with Maria? Her accusatory and demanding tone was offensive – who does she think she is?
“What’s with Maria?”
Or maybe the question should be “What does someone HAVE on Maria? Or someone she loves? It seems like it’s always blackmail or bribery…
vikingmom: I would keep it simple. Fox writes her paycheck. I would not look to any of these TV personalities for principles. Maybe Mr. Rogers, but, he’s gone. Also, Captain Kangaroo.
I LOVED Captain Kangaroo!! And Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop!! (Kinda feels like the Russia, Russia, Russia investigation is “The Song that Never Ends”)
Mr. Green Jeans! Bunny rabbit and grandfather clock! I loved those times.
Truly innocent children’s television. No communist or SJW indoctrination in Capt Kangaroo.. (Or Romper Room, Howdy Doody, Captain Chesapeake, or Bozo the Clown.)
Back to our regular topic…
vikingmom: Ah, I have tapped a deep vein of Captain Kangaroo nostalgia.
Great interview by POTUS, and Maria is still hot. whew.
This is our POTUS putting Bill Barr on notice… Just like he did to Sessions.. Barrio is just trying to run out the clock and negotiate control to save his baby… FISA and the bulk collection on all of us that he created under Bush Sr. Trump needs to replace Wray and Barr when he wins.
He put him on notice a month ago
All of your must understand the GLOBE STATE Is good.
thy have framed you all as white supremacist ( even if you are black).
I don’t know how else to inform you – you better make friends with you local cops, sheriffs, neighbors, etc.. becasue you are going to be GOLD STARREd and carried to the COVID shower.
i no longer see that as parody.
Still listening although Maria is making it a challenge. Interrupting non stop, getting loud & screechy trying to talk over POTUS.
When did Maria turn the corner into anti-POTUS land? Admittedly, I haven’t watched her or anyone on Fox for quite a while but this seems like quite a u-turn.
Maria changed when she signed her new big contract with the Fox network. She went from being a pretty solid neutral interviewer to a neverTrumpette whenever the ear piece tells her to be one.
Dagan McDowell, her assistant, has always been a neverTrump clown in the Charlie Gasperino mold.
Ah, another one bites the dust. Good riddance, we have no time for this bee ess. Thanks for clarifying.
NOOOOOO! you are the breathe of fresh air! stay FRESH.
we must think of a way to rescue these people from their OVERLORDS that control them with the only way THEY FEED THEIR FAMILIES.
We need a MULITMILLIONAIRE Station that can pay big contracts.
Trump TV, or TRUMP MEDIA, because DJT is NOT going to retire quietly, like Bush jr., Or build Houses for the homeless, like Jimmie
He’ll buy up all the bankrupt media conglomerates, for a song, and dominate the market, lol.
Coming, in 2025,. .
I agree. That is the only battle!
This sht wouldn’t be possible if their we’re diverse media
Maybe coming earlier than you are projecting.
She is one of the few relatively balanced and insightful presenters, but her membership of the Council of Foreign Relations rings alarm bells . The Council members list is a Who’s Who of globalist never-Trumpers, including George Soros. Doesn’t aswer your question, but as the election approaches, she may be under increasing pressure, with the stress showing in the interview.
She is under NO stress. She didn’t HAVE to take the money. Too bad so sad for Maria. Now, when will Tucker finally be forced to admit Fox is owned by Soros too?
FOX is owned by the Mouse House. Old Georgy has nothing to do with them getting more Woke.
Just for Grins:
One member of the board of directors is associated with JP Morgan.
One other member is a hedge fund manager in Soros Investments.
Sorry forgot to add:
Anne Dias-Griffin: Soros Funds Management
Jacques Nasser: JP Morgan Chase and Koc Holdings (largest holding company in Turkey)
So what? CTH members come and go. It is the institution that is the heart of the issue. Also consider their links to the U.K. roundtables. As George Carlin once said “…it’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.”
No individual member is that important, as they can be replaced. It is the institution that holds power. J.P. Morgan and Georgy Soros are the Epsteins of another era., plain and simple.
CFR members…whoops!
Maria may be getting frazzled, rather than antagonistic to POTUS but it was unpleasant to listen to.
IMHO Maria likes President Trump and has no animus towards him; she’s not trying to trip him up, but she is getting frustrated (like the rest of us) at the lack of action by the DOJ.
And she is getting notably concerned (as am I) at the seemingly lack of any strong, forceable actions by the President or someone in the Executive Branch to stop the coming fraud in the very near election. You could see her voice rising on that one.
IMHO Maria was trying to get some hard substantive responses from POTUS about some very critical issues. I think she did fine. The connection caused them to step on each other at times.
I think you are correct that she was frazzled. Much more so than usual and she talked over him because she wanted to direct his responses. I think she does not understand that sometimes it is best not to show all your cards and sometimes there are messages being sent and received by connected listeners than are not clear to us all. There are lots of things being covered up and that produces leverage. It’s a dangerous game.
GB Bari:
Quite agree with you!
No TV personality in hard news has any obligation to ‘be in your corner,’ yet, Maria Bartiromo is, quite amazingly, and somewhat unexpectedly, one of the President’s strongest supporters. It’s somewhat surprising, given the number of times her interviews are linked here, that people can’t ‘read’ Maria.
One of my favorite ‘Maria’ moments is watching the famous 2016 Al Smith dinner where, in my opinion, Donald Trump won 2016 after his excoriating vivisection of the media conglomerate sitting before him. Maria can be seen is her beautiful evening gown and gloves sitting a couple of rows behind the President ‘just eating it up.’
Whenever anybody links that video, I invariably indulge myself in ‘one more view,’ always looking forward to watching Maria having the time of her life.
God bless her!
That also is my favorite. You can learn a lot from watching people and what I saw was adoration of President Trump. Nothing is going to change that.
Yes, they are long time friends from Maria’s early career. It is just not the best interviwe, plain and simple. Everone has a bad day jere and there.
here, not jere…sorry.
Bottom line … he knows.
I wonder what that lazy pig bill barr is up to today.
love this man
i like how he sounds as disgusted as we all do re Barr, Durham and lack of indictments
On the other hand, this is pretty sad–i remain disgusted
Barr and Durnham are such a monumental failure at doing their jobs that one is forced to conclude the obvious, that this was their intention all along.
From THEIR point of view, they have been a monumental SUCCESS, at “Doing their job”, as outlined by the boss who hired them, McConnell.
Maintain/Perpetuate the lie that “Russians interfered in the 2016 election”, at ALL costs.
And VERY important; sequester ANY and ALL evidence, and CONTROL the release, when info must be released, and DO NOT allow any accountability for the small group; protect them.
Block any info that could shed light on CONgress’s involvement in the coup.
Yup, they have done a FAIRLY good job, over all. I suspect Mitch is happy with their work.
They conspired to slow walk and receive a duly elected president

AUTHOR: Harry S. Truman (1884–1972)
QUOTATION: When contemplating General Eisenhower winning the Presidential election, Truman said, “He’ll sit here, and he’ll say, ‘Do this! Do that!’ And nothing will happen. Poor Ike—it won’t be a bit like the Army [or in Trump’s case, like in private business Trump Enterprise]. He’ll find it very frustrating.”
ATTRIBUTION: HARRY S. TRUMAN.—Richard E. Neustadt, Presidential Power, the Politics of Leadership, p. 9 (1960).
SUBJECTS: Presidency
From Zerohedge (2017-03-09) Said the CIA Was a “Government All Its Own” Which Was Destroying Democracy”
President Truman created the CIA. But in the 1970s, he told his biographer, Merle Miller:
I think [creation of the CIA/(“Intelligence Community)] was a mistake. And if I’d known what was going to happen, I never would have done it.
Why, they’ve got an organization over there in Virginia now that is practically the equal of the Pentagon in many ways. And I think I’ve told you, one Pentagon is one too many.
Now, as nearly as I can make out, those fellows in the CIA don’t just report on wars and the like, they go out and make their own, and there’s nobody to keep track of what they’re up to. They spend billions of dollars on stirring up trouble so they’ll have something to report on. They [CIA/(“Intelligence Community)] have become … it’s become a government all of its own and all secret. They don’t have to account to anybody.
That’s a very dangerous thing in a democratic society, and it’s got to be put a stop to. The people have got a right to know what those birds are up to. And if I was back in the White House, people would know.
Tired of all posturing or prodding. Mr. President, either ORDER these documents to be released within 24 hours, or shelve it until after the election. This constant poking with no results is not needed after multiple years of their stall. Either get it all out in a BLOCKBUSTER no one can ignore, or focus on winning this election and deal with this afterward.
Agreed.
When it’s time to shoot, shoot, don’t talk, shoot.

Don’t aim it unless you are prepared to pull the trigger.

PTrump has total control of declassification so doesn’t have to order anyone to release docs. Have f’ing Mark Meadows make 50 copies now. I want them passed to media before 5 pm. No need to wait for agencies bs. Do it
Meadows is questionable in my book. I don’t trust him…sad that PDJT has to, at least until after the election.
I don’t think you are correct.
Last year or in 2018 Sundance described the requirements of that process even if PDJT ordered docs to be declass’d the next day. He cannot do it unilaterally. It still requires several steps and other officials’ sign-off.
It makes me physically I’ll when I imagine where our country would be today had Hillary Clinton chosen two and now a third justice to the SC.
President Trump will forever be to me one amongst so few who became a savior our Nation at exactly the right time.
I told my father the other day regarding filling the SCOTUS seat and asked him, “Can you imagine what it would be like if the shoe were on the other foot right now, meaning if that witch had won and she was the one nominating her THIRD Justice just before the election?” All the color drained from his face and he said “You just sent a chill up my spine. I hadn’t thought of that, but it would be an absolute nightmare.”
Great interview Maria – I know the phone delay is challenging – Very insightful Interview –
It looks like Mr Obrien of the DOJ is not going to follow the President’s order to release unclassified documents completely unredacted. He should be fired immediately, President Trump your staff is not following orders
He can’t fire any of them this close to the election. It looks really bad.
Frankly, he and Wray should have been fired well over a year ago….or better yet, never hired in the first place.
Every last one of these jerks must be terrified of President Trump being elected again. They are acting terrified even Barr who has said over and over that he knows exactly what happened and why.
The “Bush Folks” are sometimes the worst of thee deep state resistance. Trump
What we have learned over the past 4 years is that there really wasn’t a coup to overthrow Trump. In order to be overthrown one must first be in control. Trump never was, and to this day cannot get his own staff and agencies (Robert O’Brien for example) to declassify information. The parallel government in DC that has existed for decades sees Trump as the coup plotter.
Bush jr. is reported to have said to an Oval Office visitor;
“They say the POTUS is the “most powerful man in the World, but the truth is it matters very little who sits behind the Resolute desk.
The SAME people will be giving the SAME “advice”, regardless of who is in the Chair.”
And that’s the way it’s been, for MANY years. PDJT is just fighting that, whereas Bush’s accepted it as “the way it is”.
I don’t think Jr said this. The quote was attributed to George W Bush. He said it to Glen Beck when the polls shifted to Obama’s advantage in 2008. I heard an interview with Beck in which he told the story.
As long as people subscribe to listen to agenda driven media, the media will never change.
You have to drop out to tune in …
So why did Ric Grenell have to leave his post again?
A short statement that struck me about President Trump’s humanity. To paraphrase, he said he could not physically distance himself from the people he met, such as the Goldstar families of fallen service members, despite the risk of his catching the WuFlu. The families would talk fondly about their loved ones who died in the service of our country – and he couldn’t ask them to stay away.
All these liars who insult Pres. Trump don’t want us to see the humanity behind the public image.
Remember the President’s comment to some interviewer about his biggest surprise as the President? Paraphrasing, he said “Biggest surprise was he could give orders that didn’t get followed”. Sad. As a CEO he held the top, made decisions, hired and fired, fast and tough. Deep state resists at every turn, with even “allies” tying the knots.
President Trump leading 3 – 0 in bumper stickers spotted on cars while driving in just the past two days.
What is it with all the attacks on Maria???? Look, there is some kind of delay that makes phone interviews terrible, likely intentional on Fox’s part. Maria knows the score and is 100% a MAGA supporter.
I just watched the interview. Bartiromo did talk over Trump a lot but most of it was agreeing with him, adding bits. She wasn’t acting in bad faith, I don’t think.
IMO Trump knows the China virus attack on him and Melania was just that, a bio-attack. Gloves are off.
Trump will clean house and get involved after the election. He would not hint this if he thought there was not a tidal wave behind him. We will see what happens.
As always, In God We Trust.
You would have expected the gloves to be off years ago instead of being one of those blow-up punching bags with the sand in the bottom!
One word…President Trump
Wow!
Creepy Joe..duhn????
Great interview! A must watch by everyone here!
Was so happy to hear our great President speak with Maria. Both are National Treasures. I have no clue what will come of all the subversion of justice re all the criminals who are so entrenched in protecting what I believe is a Mafiosa- Criminal Crime Syndicate that has been operating as if they are free range animals for so many years.
President Trump is the ENEMA, The big COLON BLOW OUR COUNTRY needs and has LONGED FOR for so many years. I figure there will be a MASSIVE crisis re the US sewage systems in DEM states after President Trump wins. Of course, they will all go begging for our taxpayer dollars to bail them out.
I so love President Trump. Here is a poem I dedicate to him:
Rudyard Kipling:
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/346219-if-you-can-keep-your-head-when-all-about-you
Trump sounds increasingly irritated with the inaction of Barr and subsequently Durham.
Finally though, this call was a real breakthrough, because for the first time, I have heard him actually voice displeasure with Pompeo. Does anyone remember that he also was CIA Director?
Very disappointed in Pompeo. Barr? I expected this. Pompeo? Not so much.
Irritation and disappointment don’t get the job done. The takeaway from this interview is that PDT thinks he can’t do anything about the failure of our justice system. He should have Barr in the Oval Office today. Tick tock.

It’s great for Trump to be on Rush’s radio show today. How awesome.
MAGA, my friends.
I love our great President.
Maybe Biden can debate himself over all of the topics that he has refused to provide answers for.
Maybe all of us can round out my list of things Biden has refused to comment on by leaving comments.
