EXCERPT:

STEPHENS: "Now, I think when the president goes to his rallies and starts screaming about fake news, the most he wants is for people to give CNN’s Jim Acosta a middle finger -- that’s -- that's the emotion. But if 1,000 people are giving Jim Acosta the middle continuing, some subset of that say 10 people are people like my caller. And then some subset of that are people willing to take it to the next step. There is someone out there. We live in the age of the active shooter and the president is goading them, he is inciting them. He’s not saying get rid of this turbulent priest but he’s not a child who doesn’t know he’s carrying a loaded gun. The blood will be on his hands the moment some whack-job thinks he’s carrying out the instructions of a president and goes into a newsroom like the one behind us or the one in my news organization or yours and murders people."
