Howard Stern Confirms CNN LIED About Iraq War Support, NOT Donald Trump

After CNN published the headline “Howard Stern Says Trump Backed Iraq War In 2002” last week, the radio shock jock said he doesn’t know “how CNN came up with that headline” during Monday’s episode of “The Howard Stern Show.”
Howard Stern: I got so upset because, you know, let’s face it, tapes from our show featuring Donald Trump have been used in the campaign. And the other day, I was talking to Robin on the air, and I said to her, yeah, you know it was really surreal sorta laying there in bed and watching them mention my name on the debate. And I said, basically for people who might not be aware, I said, yeah, Trump was on our show, and he was talking — I asked him about the Iraq war, and he said that he was for it.
Robin Quivers: ‘Well, I guess you have to be,’ or something like that. It wasn’t like an enthusiastic…
Stern: So, then there was a big screaming headline on CNN — ‘Howard Stern Now Confirms.’ There’s a picture of me and Trump in an adversarial-type situation that…
Quivers: You didn’t confirm anything!
Sterns: Yeah, that ‘Howard Stern now says that Trump is lying about…’
*Groans in studio*
Stern: Yeah! This was on CNN. Big headline and they brought people in. They were having a discussion — a panel discussion. And I was sitting there and I…
Quivers: Can they really do that? You didn’t say anything!
Stern: Nothing! I said nothing new. And so I emailed Trump and I wanted to explain to him that, uh, that is not what I said.
Quivers: They took the tape and they used it.
Stern: They took the tape. I don’t provide tape to people. They’re now combing through tapes and dragging up statements that he might have said.
Quivers: Where are these tapes? I thought we had the only copies.
Stern: The only copies? They’re all over the fucking place.
*Quivers laughs*
Stern: So I felt a little weird about that. I’ll be honest with you, I did.
Quivers: Well, you see what the press does. They make up things!
Stern: Yeah. I didn’t come out with it. The tape is what the tape is. Make of it what you will.
Quivers: But don’t say you said anything.
tern: The only thing that I’m confirming is that the tape is from our show. That much I can confirm. That’s all I was saying. That’s why they mentioned me at the debate. But I don’t know how CNN came up with that headline. Now it’s true, over the weekend alone, there was at least seven new sort of things that Trump said on our show that they featured on these talk shows that came out. Paris Hilton comments, just everything they’re dragging out from our show. Which is fair. I don’t say no.
Quivers: It’s in the public record, I mean…
Stern: It’s in the public record.
Quivers: It was said, yeah.
Stern: I will say that Donald Trump was one of the best guests we ever had because he would kind of have this stream of consciousness and was not politically correct, and so he always made for a fun guest. And a lot of his stuff was in the spirit of that. But he did say it. So, you know, that’s what they’re using. But I think you would have to cut him some slack and say he’s doing it on the ‘Howard Stern Show’ in a fun sort of bit.
Quivers: Yeah, it’s almost like being on Saturday Night Live.
Stern: Yeah.
Quivers: You’re not going to hold him to everything he says on Saturday Night Live, are you?
Stern: Well, this is different because it’s not scripted and you are being yourself, technically, but please… and by the way, don’t hold me to everything I ever say on this show because I have no idea what I say. I know for me, I’m trying to be humorous and I think Donald Trump is trying to be humorous.
Quivers: Was to, yeah… But that’s what I mean. It’s not him necessarily sitting down and having a serious conversation about things.
Stern: Like, can you imagine when Tracy Morgan runs in 2031 for president of the United States?
Quivers: Oh my goodness. It’s going to be terrible.
Stern: All his comments about pussy.
Quivers: Oh dear!
Stern: Oh dear. Oh dear is right. But I did see that Trump was interviewed and he did say that, had I known I was going to run for president, I never would have done the ‘Howard Stern Show.’
Quivers: Well, that’s not right! Why can’t you do this show as well as any other?
Stern: Well I guess he would’ve approached it differently. Not try to be funny.
Quivers: Yeah, there are people who have done that.
Stern: And he said, if I had done that, I would’ve been boring on the show, which is true. But anyway, I’m on every political show. The show is mentioned everywhere — which is good for the show, you know. I mean, listen, our names are out there in the press, but I don’t even care about any of that. I just want the election over with.

U pervs are out of control…just look at the stories below. ….and this is the truthfeed?….haahaahaa. give me a fucking break. Donald Chump don’t even believe those stories…..hell, not even lying whining Fox don’t even repeat those stories….keep up the good work repubs, democrats will never leave the white house…haahaa haahaa haahaa haahaa haa
@Anthony: You’re going to be very upset after Trump wins. How do you plan to deal with the pain? Please don’t kill yourself. That would be awful.
I hope CTR is at least paying you a living wage. Because no one actually believes you are a real person with real feelings. Just a bought shill, paid to trash the opposition. Your candidate is so bad that they can’t even get an organic fan base on the fucking internet, they have to pay people to defend her. L O L
Dream big, puppet! You have no idea of what you wish to happen to this country. Your dearest “Hillary” will destroy this country and if you believe that it won’t be about you… think again!
You say he supported it because he said “yeah, I guess so”. Hillary was in office and actually voted for it. Do you think she supported it or are you one her typical shills who thinks she didn’t have all the information??
Ahhhhh go stick a cigar in an interns vagina or something!
I saw the Stern interview and they played a tape of the Stern-Trump interview. Donald said he was for it, not enthusiastically, and on CBS This Morning, Stern confirmed it. Trump supported the war and then makes a big deal about not supporting it.
“I guess so”
Not really a huge endorsement at all, shows at the time it really wasn’t on his mind. It’s not like he VOTED FOR IT LIKE SOMEONE ELSE DID!
He said, “I guess so” in 2002 when the approval rating for it was at 80%. Do you understand the difference in a civilian making a passing comment about it on an entertainment show and a politician like Hillary supporting the war?? Is this really what you idiots think is important against trump? Lol.
Clinton supporter are brain dead ignorant blind deaf followers who don’t care about the truth and corrupt government that love there welfare and dragging this country down!
Simply put, Hillary supporters are just USEFUL IDIOTS
1. I do not plan on voting this year. Not sure of who I would vote for.
2. I think whether Trump as a citizen supported the war is irrelevant. He doesn’t know the details, he wasn’t scrutinizing his position. I also think whether Hillary voted for the war is largely irrelevant. The Senate vote was 77-23 with only one republican voting no.
3. If you look at the track record of Trump’s statements, the timing of the Stern interview, and his whole attitude towards the Iraq war then you are kidding yourself if you think this man really thought going to war with Iraq was a good idea.
Common sense from Howard Stern and Robin. But the Lyong Media will not care. They will just keep on lying.
