newsmax has seen an incredible rise.news brands in america. we're relatively new. we're not a legacy media company, and we're now competing with all the majors. one of the reasons why we're even going public later this year, earlier this year, i might mention to your audience, if you're interested in learning more about newsmax, we have a website, newsmax—invest.com. people all over the world can join with us, newsmax—invest.com — and i think one of the reasons we've been successful, president trump's public company has come out and been so successful, is that americans are turning off the old media, and it's young people and old people, and they're going to new media companies like newsmax, and so we're seeing that in the numbers. it's notjust people that are against trump. mm. but with respect, aren't you pretty much just an echo chamber, whether it's on your tv channel or your online operation, you're partisan, people know where you're coming from politically, and people... well... hang on, let mejust finish the thoug

, many of you are newsmax watchers. he is fighting to prevent the stories and make them relevant and help those who want to get their stories out and commemorate against those who fought for the nation. the book is a testament to the legacy of our historical figures and call to honor the contributions by preserving and learning from the past so with that, it is my pleasure to introduce the guest to discuss and we are also going to be selling books and doing a book signing at the end of this. thank you so much for being here. [applause] i actually didn't know i was speaking tonight, so this is entirely off the cuff. my boss is here praying for no f bombs. at least i wore a jacket. [laughter] i walked in earlier and someone asked me you were accompanied by like ten women. i said basically all the people thatd make newsmax run that walked in behind me. i'm just the guy that goes on tv and says stuff and they make the engine run. so all these nice women over here arere the ones. my wife is in there too. but thank you to you

as you know, from listening to carl on a newsmax many of you are newsmax watchers. carl is really fighting again to present these stories and to make them relevant and really help those who want to get their stories out there and to commemorate those again who fought for our nation. this is a testament to the enduring legacy of our historical figures and call to honor their contributions. and by preserving and learning from our past. so with that, it is my great to introduce our guests carl higbie and to discuss his book. we're also going to be selling books and doing book signing at the end of this. but yes. carl, thanks so much being here. so i actually didn't know i was speaking tonight. so this will be entirely off the cuff. yeah, exactly. my bosses here just like praying for no f-bombs. at least i. a jacket. i also walked here earlier, and someone asked me, like, you know, you were accompanied by like ten women. i was like, yes that's basically all the people that make newsmax run that in right behind me. i'm just the guy goes on tv and says the stuff. these ar

i listen to newsmax. i will go to cnn, to see what they are saying.levasseur is a republican committeewoman in haverhill, massachusetts. >> do we want to do heavy traffic time like 4:00 to 7:00 again? okay. judy: on a hot evening this july, she and a handful of fellow republicans were working on their plans to show support for former president trump, while fox news played in the background. >> -- attempt to enforce their vision for america but it is not based off meritocracy. it's based off racism, and it's based off neo-marxism. >> i think that president trump gets a -- not that fox is pro-trump -- but i think he gets a better interpretation of his values and what he stands for from fox. msnbc is much more likely to insult republicans as opposed to insulting a democrat. >> the supreme court is a clear and present danger to their entire political agenda. judy: across town, demet haksever who immigrated to the united states from turkey in 1975, is watching msnbc. >> in the morning, i start watching msnbc. morning joe. cnn sometimes, pbs, other sources,

no one's watches newsmax. fox is now being beat by msnbc. trying to say that the democrats are the patriots, the party that's worried about the country. they're wearing camo hats with kamala harris hats. >> camo hats, trump who disparaged service members own camo. yeah, buddy. okay. they just can't seem to catch a break. in michigan, authorities are investigating whether a local sheriff who hosted trump for a quasi rally violated the law by using state resources for political needs. musicians continue to deny them their songs. the rock band foo fighters told trump to stop using their music telling billboard, quote, foo fighters were not asked permission and if they were they would not have granted it. adding that appropriate actions are being taken against the campaign and any royalties received as a result of this usage will be donated to the harris-walz campaign. beyonce sent a cease-and-desist to the trump campaign for its use of the song "freedom" without permission on a social music video and trump will have to face the isaac hayes esta

yes, basically all the people that make newsmax run walked in right behind me. i am just the guy who goes on deviance as a staff. these are the people who make the while running. if you get a chance all these nice women over here where the once he came in with me but my wife is in there too. thank you to you guys. you know, onth the 80th anniversary of d-day and i hate to call anniversary. we did a bit this evening on this the sheer magnitude of what happened on that day is a shocking it's one of the most humbling things. it's me or write in this segment everyone is very emotional about it. more people died on the single day in normandy then died and the eye tire iraq warar of 20 years. when you sit back and think about that 400 30,000 americans died 5 in world war ii. 54 million total people died that day. 3% at the time of the worlds population gone. in a world war. you cannot say it enough you cannot look back and teach history enough about that. unfortunately it stripped out of our culture today. anything is not popular not politically correct anything that

we have newsmax, salem, fox -- not so much, ok. we the daily wire. but it is a fraction. my message to you is what the great andrew breitbart taught us, if you have one of these, if you have a phone, guess what? you are a journalist. you are a journalist. you are a truth teller. you have more computing power, video, audio capacity that whole journalist team 20 years ago. you tell the truth because that is how we win. >> that is such an amazing point. i have a very good friend named james dixon and michigan who just started a podcast and sent me a t-shirt. i should have worn it. it says "make local journalism great again." such a wonderful point. my experience, and maybe you can speak to this, was education reporters often have so much on their plate. they could be covering a region where they have 2, 3, four school board meeting tonight. the idea that could even cover those and share the information with parents is very challenging. but parents deserve accurate information so they can make good decisions for their kids. have you run into this? >> transparency is so import

you can find conservative things on it just as you can find conservative things on fox or newsmax or something like that. most of the media in general is slanted so much it's liberal. host: you think that even after musk took over x, twitter? caller: that really helps. that's a huge plus. just like there are people that will tune in to fox or tune in to news, max or different conservative -- more conservative viewpoints that x has helped a lot since elon musk took over. i saw a segment of that interview. it seemed like -- that's a real interview. he was asking him real questions. and you get all these softball questions from the mainstream media. when you have someone like j.d. vance on, who really made some excellent points and he went on face the nation, which ever one it was, not sure which -- host: he was on the sunday shows this past sunday. caller: yeah. and he was asking some questions. he says why aren't you asking -- why aren't you really having an interview with kamala harris. when he does -- host: michael, you said that you watched some of the interview with elon musk last

my guest is chris ruddy, a long—time trump friend and ceo of the conservative media group newsmax.

sheppard's credibility is hard to challenge, you can see jeff talking more about the nixonir conspiracy on newsmaxs wednesday morning and he will appear on the hugh hewitt show on tuesday november 30 at 8:05 a.m. eastern time, now let's hear from the man himself, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome jeff sheppard. [applause] >> thank you, my friend, i appreciate it. >> hello and welcome. thank you for the kind remarks. it is good to be back amongst friends friends from high school, i went to wilson and graduated in 1962, friends from college i graduated in 1966. and friends from the nixon white house where he served for fivet years. i don't know if any of my friends from harvard law school are here but if you know of the book on the cover of my criminal law professor alan dershowitz said some pretty nice things about me. in addition to the above as jim mentioned i was deputy counsel on president nixon's watergate defense team. and i was there throughout the scandal when it was unfolding. i transcribed the white t house tapes and i ran the document rooms with piles of the watergate defendant and i

newsmax got all upset about it.ohn bolton also said donald trump's foreign policy was trying to get information from zelenskyy. donald trump, you know, donald trump is mad because joe biden beat him in 2020. he cannot get over that. as far as covid, going back to covid and why he lost, that's another thing. he lost because he could not beat joe biden. with covid, they don't want to bring this up. they have the facts on donald trump's four years in office. he lost 2.2 million jobs. the unemployment rate was 6.4%. his gdp was average of 2.5. as compared with joe biden's right now, the gdp is at 3.6 on average. also, donald trump, 630 4000 people lost their lives -- 634,000 people lost their lives. more people died hunter biden then with trump -- under biden then with trump -- than with trump. if that's the case, why is the economy so much better? host: cullman, alabama. good morning. caller: good morning c-span audience. i would like to change the narrative from the executive branch to the legislative branch. i would

you can see jeff talking more about the nixon conspiracy on newsmax this wednesday morning, and he willon the hugh hewitt show on tuesday, november 30th at 8:05. am eastern time now, let's hear from the man himself. ladies and gentlemen, would you please welcome jeff shepherd? thank you, my friend appreciate. hello and welcome. jim thank you for those kind remarks. it's could be back amongst friends friends from high school. i went to long beach wilson graduated in 1962 friends from college. i went to whittier college like president nixon except i graduated in 1966. and friends from the nixon white house where i serve for five years. i don't know that any of my friends from harvard law school are here. but if you note on the book on the cover my criminal law professor alan dershowitz said some very nice things about me. so in addition to the above as jim mentioned i was deputy council on president nixon's watergate defense team. and i was there throughout the scandal and it's unfolding. i transcribed the white house tapes. i ran the document rooms holding the seized files of the waterga

then he called newsmax, what do you make of this?a lot -- even though he lost, in 2016 he made it happen. he felt he was in much better sake before biden dropped out. i think he is desperately grasping at anything to stop the momentum. there was thinking that it would be a honeymoon, the honeymoon keeps going. we are five weeks of honeymoon out it's not a very long cycle. she keeps going up in the polls. i think that he panicked? republicans gave away all of these things. the giveaway patriotism. they gave away the flag. they took this very dark vision and ran with it. is not that democrats are stealing it from them, it was on the field for them to take. i mean, he is all over the place. >> donald trump could've chosen nikki haley six weeks ago. they would have locked down a lot of undecided or independent voters. instead he chose jd vance. right before harris spoke, donald trump made what was probably the closest thing you will ever see in terms of a public apology to brian kemp. this guy has been slamming him over and over for year

then he called up newsmax. what do you make of this?has had a lot, even though he has lost a lot of elections, in 2016, he was able to make it happen. and remember, he felt he was in much better shape before biden dropped out. so, i think he is just sort of desperately grasping at anything to sort of stop the momentum. and remember, there was thinking that maybe this would be the honeymoon period. this honeymoon keeps going. we are five weeks of honeymoon now. it is not a very long cycle. so, i do think, and she keeps going up in the polls. i just think he panicked. but again, republicans gave away all of these things. they gave away patriotism. they gave away the flag. they took this very dark vision and they ran with it. so it is not the democrats are stealing it from them. it is that it was there on the field for them to take. and i think now trump, he has really painted himself in a corner. he saw on his social media today he was talking about maybe supporting reproductive rights? i mean, he is just all over the place. >> donald tru

the next show was about to start, so six minutes later, he called into newsmax at first, i thought it was a terrible smh. it was very nonspecific. it was also very sure. she just wanted to get off the stage because her idea is a bad look. she's a marxist let the record show that kamala harris is not a marxist, but donald trump wasn't finished. so he called another fox hosts during a commercial break and popped up on tv again. >> mr. president. i'm on i'm live now. >> say a hello to my audience i think. >> that'll get you in trouble all right this point to what difference is a vague would do it well with leading in the polls cnn's kristen. holmes covers the trump campaign kristen, this, what happened here behind us as clearly getting under trump's skin yeah, probably the dnc and the state of the race overall. and by the way, i don't think that's the last we're going to hear about kamala harris's speech. we're going to see him twice a day, once in nevada, and then another time i'm an arizona and i believe it's likely he's going to bring it up again i mean, let's talk about what he saw a

then he went on newsmax. then he called back into fox news why didn't she do the things that she's complaining about? >> all of these things that she talked about, we're going to do this. we're going to do that. we're going to do everything. but she didn't do any of it. she could have done it 3.5 years ago she could do it tonight by leaving the auditorium and going to washington, d.c., and closing the border all right panel is back. >> uh ron brownstein, what would you make of of how trump so reacted? i thought he simultaneously showed his greatest asset and greatest vulnerability, the greatest asset is that 60% of americans, even after the switch, 60% of americans say they are worse off because of the policies of the biden administration. and when he kind of argues, well, you know, she said she's going to fix it. she's been there and and it's been getting worse that is probably his best argument between now and november. the weakness is her, you know, her core argument is do you really want to go back to fou

and this is a way to be relevant event trump called in to fox and newsmax immediately after kamala harris'sight, listen to part of what he said. maggie it was a lot of complaining. she didn't talk about china. she didn't talk about fracking. she didn't talk about crimes. you didn't talk about 70% of our people are living in poverty he didn't talk about the trade deficit. you didn't talk about child trafficking that she's allowed to happen because she was the border czar and she presided over the weakest border in the history of our country either way, the beat big you heard appears to be trumped inadvertently hitting buttons on his phone. >> so what do these interviews maggie say about on his mindset now look, he's very reactive in all things when he is not in command and we have seen this over the course of the last nine years that he's been in politics or in the political arena he is, he is clearly, you know, jarred by her eye. >> he has been trying to get back into the the national conversation for several weeks now, ever since president biden announced he wasn't running for reelection,

>> fox kind of, you know, they they spoke with him the end of the interview, then he called into newsmax, continue the conversation. then he calls back into fox news and has this to say with greg gutfeld, watch what differs is a well with leading in the polls all right. mr. president, voice down. >> yeah. >> they said he has to get out of they basically stage a coup. >> yeah let's let's see how it happens. >> but i think we're doing very well. >> all right. all right. mr. p, i got to go sir, it seems like a trunk him the phone but i mean, what do you what did you make of his quote, unquote responses. >> he's doing his own bracketing. yeah, that's that's an old campaign term that kate knows. but when the other side is doing something big, did try to rack at it a little bit and obviously the democrats have had the attention this week. so i think that he is not wrong, that he is still in a strong position in the polls. i think where he's really got to focus on is he's got one real chance to frame up this race on september the tenth he had the race against biden totally frame, totally pegged

fox news, they kind of called him off and he called into newsmax. were watching upstairs and there's no cheering in the press box, but when you came on, we had to. we had to cheer for the rev. truly a stirring speech, and when you invoked psalms at the end and talked about the joy, and the joy, the joy that cometh in the morning, this place was filled with joy last night. >> well, i think the whole theme of the campaign, and the democratic party's convention was that we want to get out of the darkness into the joy. so i wanted to have a biblical reference to it, and as class said, that is the spirit you felt this week. i remember as a kid, i might have been 13 or 14, the '68 riots in chicago. the contrast. you had protests here, but they were peaceful. they were -- there were some arrests, but no real violence, and people every day said it was going to be a disturbance. there was joy here from all races and all regions and i think that's what kamala harris has come here to represent, which i think is a huge threat to donald trump because if you can

, joe doesn't like it when i do this, but i do watch a lot of the right, whether it is foxnews or newsmax your podcasts and i want to hear what the reaction is on the right. and what i found interesting is that it is extremely mixed and extremely vitriolic and extremely loud, but not all the same stories. almost as if there is a grasping going on, i could be overstating it, but it is everything, from talking about his walk, talking about his appearance, trying to spread this information about his story, but very loud, very-- there's almost like a manic reaction to scramble to figure out what is wrong with this guy. and then you, like cut to a picture of tim walz and he is on the shotgun with his daughter at the minnesota state fair, surrounded by kids. i mean, he doesn't have-- i don't know. i mean, does this look like a cruel, mean guy. does this look like the bogeyman? because last time i checked, he is a pretty popular guy, who has now garnering tens and 12 thousand from kamala harris. so which is it, jonathan lemaire? >> republicans are straining for any coherent attack lines on the d

you don't see fox news or newsmax at the border anymore. you don't see trump at the border anymore.s project 2025 is for dictators. they are just using scare tactics. like the first few years when trump was in, republicans were in charge, they do not have the competence to know there were lawmakers making the law. they put the law on the wall and we are going through this mess right now. they had their chance in the first two years of trump and they blew it. that is it. host: ok. jim is in maryland also on our line for independents. good morning, jim. caller: good morning. how are you? host: doing well. thank you. caller: i want to reflect on the harris economic plan that was announced just two days ago. my seventh grader did the math on the 3 million new homes that want to be built, and using just an average cost per unit, we have to have over $15 trillion to do all of this. as my seventh grader said, there is not enough money in the world to do this. this is -- this can't be real. the other thing that she brought out with great applause from all the communists there is price contr

you don't see fox news or newsmax at the border anymore. you don't see trump at the border anymore.his project 2025 is for dictators. they are just using scare tactics. like the first few years when trump was in, republicans were in charge, they do not have the competence to know there were lawmakers making the law. they put the law on the wall and we are going through this mess right now. they had their chance in the first two years of trump and they blew it. that is it. host: ok. jim is in maryland also on our line for independents. good morning, jim. caller: good morning. how are you? host: doing well. thank you. caller: i want to reflect on the harris economic plan that was announced just two days ago. my seventh grader did the math on the 3 million new homes that want to be built, and using just an average cost per unit, we have to have over $15 trillion to do all of this. as my seventh grader said, there is not enough money in the world to do this. this is -- this can't be real. the other thing that she brought out with great applause from all the communists there is price con

but what they are doing, they are setting up, they are looking at newsmax and fox, and that is all theyisten to. this is a shame. host: he was the four headlines from breitbart in the wake of the interview. kamala's empty rhetoric exposed, harris unprepared, no good answers, nothing but platitudes. dana bash lets her off the book for abandoning the border. and walls hits on stolen valor. that is their four headlines for this morning's front page. caller: to that i will just say this, and then we can hang up. donald trump is -- in his presidency told over 45,000 lies. 45,000 lies. like, the bar is so low. it is the way we are looking at this end talking about. how come the person who has done work for the american people, dedicated, hard work, is being shunned and the guy that was born with the silver spoon in his mouth, who did not really do any kind of -- he did not build anything. he did not make anything. he did not help the people. it is like, look the other way, it's not that bad. anyway, thank you for listening to me this morning. but it is frustrating, the way they denigrate john

but what i have heard on fox news -- i think it was either fox news or newsmax, israel told hamas wheny were going to attack, and they ordered, you know, the independence, to get out from that area. the leaders of hamas stopped that, told them to stay. now, after that israel attacked anyway. so, i'm thinking that the death toll of the innocents is high. have you heard anything about that? that hamas -- i'm sorry, that israel was giving hamas, like, have you heard about that? host: mean, there is the -- the idf does try to clear areas, but sometimes they either don't do that to have the element of surprise or there is really no place else for people to go. so, that has been a problem, mike. caller: mean, the thing is, if your life depends on it, you are going to find somewhere to go. you are going to go somewhere in that area. so, i mean, like, like, what country in history, or wartime, has gave warnings to, you know, to, you know, you understand, so they won't get hurt. host: andrea is a democrat in sanford, maine. morning. caller: good morning. i'm calling in response, really, to oliv

you can find conservative things on it just as you can find conservative things on fox or newsmax or something like that. most of the media in general is slanted so much it's liberal. host: you think that even after musk took over x, twitter? caller: that really helps. that's a huge plus. just like there are people that will tune in to fox or tune in to news, max or different conservative -- more conservative viewpoints that x has helped a lot since elon musk took over. i saw a segment of that interview. it seemed like -- that's a real interview. he was asking him real questions. and you get all these softball questions from the mainstream media. when you have someone like j.d. vance on, who really made some excellent points and he went on face the nation, which ever one it was, not sure which -- host: he was on the sunday shows this past sunday. caller: yeah. and he was asking some questions. he says why aren't you asking -- why aren't you really having an interview with kamala harris. when he does -- host: michael, you said that you watched some of the interview with elon musk last

the national press secretary for the trump campaign, when asked about, on newsmax, about this story that donald trump told in his news conference last thursday. >> i know willie brown very well. in fact, i went down in a helicopter with him. we thought maybe this is the end. we were in a helicopter going to a certain location together, and there was an emergency landing. this was not a pleasant landing. willie was, he was a little concerned. i know him pretty well. i haven't seen him in years. >> trump also implied that brown shared with him some unflattering information about kamala harris. the next day, brown reacted to the comments, telling cnn he and trump had never been in a helicopter together. >> have you ever been in a helicopter with donald trump? >> no. never happened. period. i think my memory is probably better than his. >> you know, mika, i remember i was in a helicopter. i'm here. george clooney is here. >> no. >> brad pitt is backseat. tom cruise, always a show-off, is like maneuvering, going through -- >> hanging from the -- yeah. >> almost crashed, yeah. >> no. >> i don'

because they are listening to propaganda from right-wing politicians and from fox news and oan and newsmaxight talk radio people who have no integrity and no credibility and that is their problem to listen to those kinds of people. the other thing i wanted to note on the economy is everything looks good on the economy, from wall street take here in las vegas, when we go out, everyplace is busy, everybody is spending money, the stores are busy, profits are way up. if you want to complain about gas prices, all of these people on the right need to look at the oil company profits, which are driving lots of this, but they cannot do that because if they were to acknowledge reality they would not have much of a platform to run on outside grievance for the fact that kamala harris apparently is not the right skin color for them. i am supporting her because she is saying, she is well experienced, she is quite capable of doing the job. she knows how to deal with the border, not because she goes to the border but because she goes down to the countries and talks to the people there about what needs to

, joe doesn't like it when i do this, but i do watch a lot of the right, whether it's fox news or newsmax or pod casts. i want to hear what the reaction is on the right. and what i found interesting is that it's extremely mixed and extremely vitriolic and extremely loud, but not all the same stories. almost as if there's a grasping going on. i could be overstating it, but it is everything from talking about his walk, talking about his appearance, trying to spread disinformation about his story, but very loud, very -- there's almost like a manic reaction, a scramble to figure out what's wrong with this guy. then you, like, cut to a picture of tim walz, and he's on the shotgun with his daughter at the minnesota state fair or, you know, surrounded by kids. he doesn't have, i don't know, does this look like a cruel, mean guy? does this look like the boogeyman? last time i checked, he's a pretty popular guy who is now garnering crowds of 10, 12, 14,000 along with kamala harris. so which is it, jonathan lemire? >> certainly, right now, republicans are straining for any sort of coherent attack l

my guest is chris ruddy, a long—time trump friend and ceo of the conservative media group newsmax.s team trump veering off track? stephen, good to be back with you. it's great to talk to you. do you believe that he has been rattled by the transformation in the presidential election race that we've seen as the democratic nominee? it's probably a bit disconcerting. i actually spoke to him last night by telephone. i got a sense that he's quite...quite surprised trying to portray the ticket of harris—walz as dangerously liberal. but if you actually look at walz�*s record, for example, he served two decades in the national guard. his signature issue as governor of minnesota was delivering universal free school meals. he's a man who for many years has advocated gun rights.
