(DCNF)—Democratic strategist James Carville voiced his “outrage” Wednesday at legal pundits claiming that former President Donald Trump is facing unfair legal treatment.
Trump has faced four criminal cases since leaving office in 2021, with two linked to the 2020 presidential election, one tied to the 2016 presidential election and another concerning the retention of classified documents. Carville, on his “Politics War Room” podcast, took aim at prominent attorney Alan Dershowitz, George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley and CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig for calling out issues in the cases against Trump.
“My outrage is, these are my favorite ass wipes in modern America, the truth tellers, the Alan Dershowitz’s of the world, the Jonathan Turley’s of the world. It’s ‘I can do no other, I must tell the truth,’” Carville said. “And right now in contention to break — but I don’t think the guy can — he can try, I don’t think he’s talented enough to break into Turley-Dershowitz thing, but try he is is one Elie Honig.”
Carville called on his listeners to read an article by former litigator Joe Patrice headlined, “Elie Honig Makes Pitch To Become Donald Trump’s Favorite Legal Analyst,” in which the author asserts that the former president might now prefer the CNN analyst over Turley and Dershowitz.
“They can’t help but tell the truth. ‘I just have to say that I think that Trump’s getting a bad deal from the legal system.’ Or, ‘You have to say, you have to admit, James, that these’ — you know, these are the kind of people that would have said that, ‘James, you got to admit that Roosevelt was mean to the Japanese,” the Democratic strategist added. “He cut off the oil, and yeah, you ought to focus on what happened at Nanking, but there have been other atrocities. Look at slavery in the United States.’ Or, ‘You gotta admit, James, even John Maynard Keynes said that the treaties post-World War I were too harsh.’”
“These are the kind of fucking people that want to preen in front of you and strut and tell you how they can’t help but be honest; they just have to call ’em like they see ’em,” Carville continued. “Oh, go fuck yourself, okay? All of you.”
The latest major development in Trump’s cases was Judge Tanya Chutkan releasing special counsel Jack Smith’s 165-page brief consisting of evidence collected in his investigation of Trump’s alleged interference in the 2020 election. Honig took to CNN’s airwaves to call the release “unusual” and wrote an article about it headlined “Jack Smith’s October Cheap Shot” in the Intelligencer.
“The Constitution is at risk, the entire future of the country at risk, so don’t tell me Abraham Lincoln suspended habeas corpus, all right? Don’t tell me that Franklin Roosevelt excluded farm workers from Social Security, all right?” Carville said. “These are the assholes that run around, ‘I’m better, I’m smarter, I’m more honest than you. I just have to call ’em like I see ’em.’ These are the kind of people that make me — they don’t make me want to throw up. They make me actually throw up.”
“And between now and election day, I’m on the look for these motherfuckers, and I’m going to call ’em out at every juncture,” he added. “But you need to look up this massive Jonathan Turdley, Alan Dershowitz and maybe this guy Elie Honig needs to go nude on some Martha’s Vineyard beach so he can be like his hero Alan Dershowitz. What a fucking fraud. What a fraud.”

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
