Jim DeFede

They, they're expending so much energy deleting Donald Trump and references from D- of Donald Trump from their websites that they have no time for anything else.

Well, and this is also an example of how you can't just name a network and say that everyone working at that network is garbage because Jim DeFede is who's interviewing Angie Nixon here, and he works for CBS News Miami, and he's the one who broke the Hope, uh, Hope, Florida-

Right

... scandal.

Not gonna see that.

But even during this interview they, they had a moment where, you know, he said the only thing that she really said, Ashley Moody, was that, uh, Angie Nixon is a, a socialist, that she really didn't say much else.

And there were, like, little jabs in there that Jim DeFede was getting in, but it's only because Ashley Moody refuses to answer for this reporting of the money that, that she was complicit in stealing from Medicaid programs.

Well, no, that's not true.

Our sixth book is The Day the World Came to Town, 9-11 in Gander, Newfoundland.

This is by Jim DeFede or DeFede.

So on September 11th, 2001, after the attacks, the United States closed its airspace and planes that were already in the air over the Atlantic, they had to land somewhere else and they needed to land quickly.

And so 38 of those planes were sent to Gander, which is a really small town in Newfoundland, Canada.

I was watching a clip.

You, you were talking with Jim DeFede about this.

He's a really good reporter.

Mm-hmm.

Which I also introduced in Congress.

Maria Elvira Salabar recently made an appearance on the Jim DeFede show.

And when I tell you he chewed her nitta ass up.

Last month, you were at FIU and you presented a check for $650,000 to help small businesses at FIU.

I thought it was pretty appalling.

You know, it's like for a guy who's so obsessed with imagery, does he not recognize the imagery in that, right? Like, he's got Chinese dignitaries just waiting as he cleans up for them so they can walk on a red carpet for him.

And then there's other elements of it that looked pretty silly, like him wincing and him wearing gloves-

Yeah

I mean, the conventional wisdom is that he just has a strongman complex, right? And he, and he likes these people.

Yeah.

And he, he's not a confrontational guy despite being confrontational.

No.

It's when they push back.

Take a listen to what happened to Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar during a newly resurfaced interview with Jim DeFede in South Florida.

Talk about some of the spending, uh, going on in Congress and the fact that Congress doesn't seem to be able to-

Let, let, let's go to, let's, let's talk about America's Act, which goes ties with Argentina.

What else is going on this morning, Natalie? We've got a South Florida congressional race, which is putting the future of tech on the ballot.

Over on CBS, facing South Florida with Jim DeFede, Democratic challenger Nicole Loughlin issued this warning regarding the unchecked rise of artificial intelligence.

My biggest fear is that we are at a point right now where the tech is surpassing our ability to understand it.

She used to represent AI in the private sector before she started running to unseat Republican incumbent Mario Diaz-Balart.

They are freaking out.

Jim DeFede, who is a great journalist out of Florida, man, if you want to show exposing this idiot Salazar, who's scared to death, and by the way, We had David Jolly on the other day.

Democrats have been winning these elections, but they've been winning mayoral elections in places where Republicans have control for a very long time.

This is him putting the screws to her.
