President Biden finally announces Tucker Carlson hasgiven the bums rush, and the Secretary
of Transportation says the GOP wants planesto crash. There are a lot of
incredible or maybe we should say theywere, we were incredulous of many of
the did they really just say that? Moments this week. I'm Nancy Shack,
I'm Ben Parker. This is newsbite present Biden about to make it
(00:34):
efficient. We're expecting a campaign stylevideo announcement edits are now being made on
a video we are told our WhiteHouse team reporting that he reported at least
parts of this video two weekends ago. Let's finished this job. I know
we can't because this is the UnitedStates of there. There's nothing nothing we
cannot do for going together. That'sit for us for the week, and
(00:56):
we'll be back on Monday. Inthe meantime, have the best weekend.
I'm not sure Americans are all realizedthat one of the things they're talking about
cutting is our ability to grow theair traffic control workforce. Their budget proposal
would actually mean shutting down air trafficcontrol powers. That was our Secretary Transportation
(01:19):
Pete luigig basically stop it, basicallytelling Americans that the GOP wants to make
flying unsafe with their budget cuts.I mean, I'd like to hear the
full We'll play the full thing withoutmusic underneath it. But he's out there
fear mongering, trying to say thatthe President's budget is the one you want
because the Republicans want to kill youin plane crashes, because they want to
(01:44):
take away air traffic controllers Cut fortytwo. I'm not sure Americans are all
realized that one of the things they'retalking about cutting is our ability to grow
the air traffic control workforce. Theirbudget proposal would actually mean shutting down air
traffic control hours. Okay, I'mcalling bullbleep on that, and I want
to remind everybody, or tell thesecretary what everybody does realize is that you
(02:07):
really suck as a Secretary of TransportationCut forty two. A. Every flight
in the US grounded for a timetoday. That's the first time that's happened
since nine to eleven be trained arailmentin Ohio which resulted in a massive fire
and toxic chemical spill. Particularly underfire is Transportation Secretary Pete Buddhajad, do
(02:27):
you think this issue will be sortedin time for the holidays. I think
it's going to get better by theholidays. Passengers forced us sleep at airports
like it's scattered from city to city. Christmas was just ruined. This was
the worst Christmas ever. I Wishipis not like this. There was about
another trained arailment this week. Transportationis a fine. There are now trains
cars in the Mississippi, so it'sit's yeah, so you know. So
(02:51):
for him to get out there andsay that the Republicans want to make transportation
less safe is one of the mostludicrous statements i've very long time. I
will say this because I always totry to be the devil's advocate or whatever
it is. Uh, Pete wasn'tdriving the train that tipped over, But
certainly transportation needs some help in thiscountry, and and and somebody's got to
(03:13):
do something. Nobody is suggesting thatPete's actually driving trains. But he is
responsible for making the tracks safe,he is responsible for making the airlines run
safely. He's responsible for all ofthat. And he has failed miserable the
transportation department as a whole, whichPete bo judges the second time they are
(03:34):
the oversea or the the authoritarian partof a transportation. I mean, you
have your trains and your planes andyour automobiles, which, by the way,
is a great movie. Um Idigress. But yeah, and they
people drive him and run them.But but you have to have the people
in charge. Someone someone's always atthe top and in this case Pete and
then all of his people below him, and somebody's dropping the kicking the can
(03:57):
down the road or dropping. Secretaryof Transportation is doing a good job when
you're not hearing about transportation exactly right, exactly right. And every week there's
an issue Southwest aliens burned up again. I mean it's like this is this
is under our supply chain. Issueshave not gotten any better, this is
this is him. This he shouldnot I'll be honest with you. I
(04:20):
blame President Biden more than I blamedthe secretary. He was not um he
should never have been Secretary of Transportation. He did not have the requisite experience
to do it and didn't give himphil and potholes didn't do it, and
being a driver when he was inthe service did not do it. So
and that's on Biden, not onhim. He granted, people can argue
(04:43):
he shouldn't have taken a job thathe wasn't qualified for, but okay,
they offered it to him. Idon't think he understood exactly how how complicated
it was when he's been spending histime making sure that rhads aren't racist and
the crash dummies are female. SoI mean, that's what he's been doing.
He should never have been in theposi and I blame Joe Biden for
picking him. I blame Joe Bidenfor driving the train. Oh no,
(05:03):
he wasn't driving the training. He'sdriving our train though, the American trains
off the cliff. And that actuallywhat Bouda Jig said got lost in the
news cycle this week because the bigannouncement came this week. That's cut eight
A freedom. Personal freedom is fundamentalto who we are as Americans. There's
(05:24):
nothing more important, nothing more sacred. That's been the work of my first
turn to fight for our democracy.It shouldn't be a red or volution to
protect our rights, to make surethat everyone in this country is treated equally
and that everyone is given a fairshot at making it. But you know,
around the country, maggar extremists arelining up to take on those bedrock
(05:46):
freedoms, cutting Social Security and youpaid for your entire life, while cutting
taxes for the very wealthy, dictatingwhat healthcare decisions women can make, banning
books, and telling people who theycan love. All why I'm making it
more difficult for you to be ableto vote. Yeah. So that was
the President announcing his running in twentytwenty four. Let the fund begin.
(06:09):
I mean, he just he justlied through his teeth about MAGA positions.
But he's been doing that for awhile. And you know, the press.
The first questions the press asked,we're basically the first question that I
would have asked, and that thisman is over eighty years old? Can
he finish two terms in office?Cut twenty two? B the president planning
(06:31):
to serve all eight years? I'mnot. I'm just not going to get
ahead of the president. That's somethingfor him to decide. I'm just not
going to get ahead of it.And we're there's a twenty twenty four campaign.
Anything related to that, I wouldrefer you to that. Oh my
god. That was the White HousePress secretary not answering the question can the
president serve all eight years of twoterms? Oh mg? The I mean,
(06:58):
if I were working on Biden's campaign. I cannot begin to tell you
it probably, you know, Iwould probably just dropped out of a heart
attack right then and there. Thatthe Press secretary. She had to walk
that back within an hour of makingthat statement. So of course he's going
to of course that's what you answer. I think what she answered was actually
very accurate. Only he can decide, you know, and that she wasn't
sure. But that's but her jobis press secretary, so lie through her
(07:20):
teeth and so, as we havediscussed on many occasions, she lies when
she doesn't have to. Why wouldn'tshe lie there? Because maybe she herself
has doubts the president could finish Iwouldn't two terms. And there have been
some poles, um which of courseI always I always uh leary about poles.
And I'll tell you why. There'salways been her reason. I've never
(07:40):
been pulled in my entire life.Never, I've never pulled. No.
Never I've been hit with a pole, but that's a long story. But
no, I've never been pulled.So I always look at them and say,
well, they didn't ask me,but they're anyway. They have been
poles where even Democrats are like onehe's too old. They thinks it's one
thing. Look, you're always goingto have the other party saying yeah,
(08:01):
I don't like that guy. ButI mean now now his own party people
regularly poled. People in his ownparty are going home. What the hell?
So he was giving doing a jointpress conference for the President of South
Korea, and of course you know, one of the questions was cut thirty
one with regard to age. Ican't even say, I guess how old
(08:22):
I am. I can't even saythe number I've done't register with me.
But the only thing I can sayis that one of the things that people
are going to find out how they'regoing to see a race and they're going
to judge whether or not I haveor don't have it. I respect them
taking a hard look at it.I'd take a hard look at it as
well. I took a hard lookat it before I decided to run.
(08:43):
And I feel good. I feelexcited about the prospects, and I think
we're in the verge of really turningthe corner and away we have in a
long time. I don't know aboutyou, but having the presidents say I
can't even say the name, hedoesn't know how old he is? Can
somebody tell me? You know?I think he doesn't. I was thinking
when he said that, Um,perhaps I never want to put words in
(09:07):
anybody's mouth, but perhaps, likeI sometimes i'm fifty five, I don't
mind saying that. And there weredays when I I'm like, I feel
like I just got out of highschool, you know, like you're ready,
just isn't It's just a number kindof thing. So I think that's
where he was going with it.But we never know where he's going.
That's true. But here's the thing. Your compass mentis is not in question
by you, yeah, by me, So that's true, but his is.
(09:30):
Well, I think if you're presidentUnited States and people are worried about
your age and are making fun ofthe fact that you can't remember things,
I think the last thing you dois say I don't know how old I
am. Well, the thing aboutyou or I or anyone else anyone listening
right now, hello, Uh,you know, when they think about their
age in that regard whatever, they'renot president or running for president. And
I think that that's that's a bigdifference, and he is. And it's
(09:54):
a big question. And not onlythat because he did that. He laid
a lot of things open for people. One for people to ask the question
is can you really do this?And I'm not talking about you or me
asking I'm talking about people like NickyHaley, Ambassador Nicky Haley, who was
also running for president on the Republicanticket. But she came right out.
I was you could have knocked meover with a feather. She came right
(10:16):
out and said she's not sure he'sgoing to live till eighty six. Cut
six A. If you vote forJoe Biden, you really are counting on
a president Harris because the idea thathe would make it until eighty six years
old is not something that I thinkis likely. Okay, probably not right.
And here's the thing that she's aRepublican, right, But that same
(10:39):
issue, like if you're going tovote for Biden, remember you are actually
voting for a president Harris because hecannot finish a second term is not unique
to the Republican Party. Here isVan Jones on CNN on CNN, which
is, you know, a watercarrier for the Democratic Party saying basically the
(11:00):
same thing. Cut three A.I know that every four years we talk
about the significance of a vice presidentialpick. You and I have probably shared
a CNN set on like a vicepresidential debate night talking about how it was
this time, this time, we'regonna mean it. Yes, absolutely,
it's a Listen. She is insuch an unusual position. She's a woman,
(11:22):
she's black, she's Asian, andshe's running alongside the oldest person to
ever do it. So she's essentiallyrunning for president. That's what she's doing.
And I think people understand that.I think she understands that, and
I think I think that she's goingto rise to the occasion. I agree
with you. They gave her toughassignments that literally no president has been able
to solve. I think it's unfairto her. But now her job is
(11:43):
to make the case for what thisadministration has been able to do. She's
got a great case to make,it a great opportunity to make it.
She doesn't make cases very well though, that's part of her. That's the
issue is that, you know,Okay, so they're admitting that we're actually
not voting for Joe Biden in thiscampaign for a second, you're actually voting
for Harris. Let me remind youabout Vice President Harris This is something that
(12:03):
she said. You know, welaugh about word salad. She adds something
to it every week. Here's anotherexample. Cut five A. So,
I think it's very important, asyou have heard from so many incredible leaders
for us at every moment in time, and certainly this one, to see
(12:26):
the moment in time in which weexist and are present, and to be
able to contextualize it, to understandwhere we exist in the history and in
the moment as it relates not onlyto the past but the future. It's
almost amazing that any person, letalone the vice president of the United States.
(12:48):
It's very It's amazing that someone cansay so much and yet say so
little and then confuse the hell outof you while saying nothing. Oh my
god, And that's who you wantin charge. That's who you want dealing
with Putin and what that's gonna be. I'm not the most eloquent speaker in
the world, but good god,I'm not the vice president either. I
mean, I don't know. Look, we we kind of have an idea
(13:11):
of what played out in twenty twenty. And yeah, I mean, if
you voted for Biden, you feltthat, Okay, well, this is
nice. We have a woman vicepresident and blah blah blah blah blah,
great whatever, but but but itis the truth. Listen, if you're
a Biden supporter or were a Bidensupporter and are thinking of voting for him
in twenty twenty four, whoever youare, random person who may vote for
Joe Biden, you're not voting forJoe Biden. I mean, really realistically,
(13:35):
you're not voting for So if youdon't like Kamala Harris and the thought
of Kamala Harris because she ran forpresident, remember and she didn't do very
well, and that that's why sheshould make it to the game. That's
how she ended up being the vicepresident, will pick So. So if
you didn't want to vote for herfor president four years ago when she was
running for president, why would youin essence vote for her now because she's
(14:00):
running. I mean, the onlylogical reason you would do that is what
I've said many times is we don'tvote for president anymore. We vote against
You don't want so much, so, but I need to. That's why
the Republicans have to be careful whothey put up there. And I know
I know there's because that's who's runningwhoever's running for the Republicans is running against
(14:20):
Kamala Harris. Really you are.And even if you don't believe us about
that, and honest to God,both Republicans and Democrats have agreed that that's
what's happening. Even if you don't, I want to remind you the condition
that President Biden is in. Okay, this was yesterday. He did not
make the best showing and he wastalking to kids. Cut three C I'm
(14:43):
gonna take two more. I'm gettingmyself in trouble here because your parents are
saying, why is he going tostop? And my Secret Service agents they're
packing, so I gotta be carefulwhat they tell. So I'm trying to
think over the last words. Thelast place I was. It's hard to
keep track, U I mean,yeah, you're right, Ireland, that's
(15:03):
where it was. What's your favoritemovie? My favorite movie was the new
movie that was about that guy whoflies jet plains. You know who I'm
talking about, A top gun?Did you see did you see Top one?
Maverick? That's been my favorite movieI've seen this year. Okay,
for getting him a movie, allright, but he can remember he went
(15:26):
to Ireland. That's the last placeuntil like kid reminds him he went to
Ireland. Uh, you all youhave to do listen, We hear him,
and we play. Obviously we geta chance to cherry pick the best
of the worst or the worst ofthe best of what Biden says. And
that's fine. And so there maybe people to go who listen, turn
on the freaking news on any onany channel, CNN, Fox, that
(15:48):
your local TV doesn't matter, geta picture out of the paper. Here's
the thing, and there's a sadnessto it, but a reality to it.
The sadness is that, look,he's an older man. We've all
had grandparents and we've watched them totear rerate and that's his case. He
he's the president. He wants torun for president again. But but look
at him. This is not athis isn't even a political thing. Would
(16:10):
you want your elderly grandfather who's likethree steps from the nursing home being the
president under that kind of stress?Right? Yeah, And so you don't
have to believe the cuts we playor anything like that. And I know
that the politics go on on theTVs all over the way. Just look
at him standing there and don't tellme when he's standing at an event,
because I had elderly grandparents, theirpassion. Now, but when you look
(16:33):
at him, he's not there.There's a vacancy in the eyes, even
when he's just standing watching somebody dosomething else. And that's a problem to
your point. It was so badthis week and here's the president of South
Korea visiting. It was so badthat when he went to do the joint
(16:55):
press conference with the South Korean president, his staff handed him a pocket what's
called a pocket card, and itwas a card that told him who to
call on a picture of the reporterand her question that was typed on there,
so he said, and his answerwas on the pocket card, so
that he had it in front ofhim. We know this because somebody,
(17:18):
very enterprising took a picture of thepocket card, so we can see it
and we can see everything on itwhile it is in his hand. One
of the most disconcerting things about itis that in it he had directions of
what to do, and they wereyou big giant capital letters. Why ou
you walked to the podium you callon literally they had to do it in
(17:41):
giant hyou to tell him, givehim directions? Now, we all saw
this. This was frightening for mostpeople to see that the president needed directions
like this. So this came up, and I must say this came up
at Jackie Heinrich from Fox News askedKarine Jean Pierre, the White House Press
Secretary, about it, and Ihave to say she did it very well
(18:03):
in a very gracious, non accusatory, non confrontation away. But it's a
very difficult question to ask, andshe did a good job. Cut one
b the La Times that their reporterdid not submit any questions and advancing yesterday's
press conferences. So to people whosaw that pocket card, can you explain
how that ended up there and whythe president needed something like that. Look,
(18:25):
we do not have specific questions inadvance. That's that's something that we
do. Our job is to geta sense of what you all want to
ask, and that is our jobhere to get a sense of what's the
news of the day, the topicsyou all are interested to ask of him.
Now, her answer was much longerthan that. It went on for
five minutes about but she tried todraw red herrings across the path by talking
(18:48):
about the economy, by talking aboutother things. But That was basically how
she responded to the question about thepocket card. Now here's the thing.
We all saw the pocket card.For her to say we don't do that
is bizarre because we're looking right atit. She's basically saying, who do
you believe me or your lying eyes. So another reporter tried to ask a
question about the prompt card, andhe got cut off at the knees,
(19:10):
cut two by I'm not I'm nottaking a call at Jackie us your colleague.
Your colleague is not done. It'sa very reasonable no. But to
hear you can you can you waityour turn? Like, thank you,
thank you, John, I appreciatethat. I really do good. Okay,
(19:33):
So she's saying, wait your turn, right, So then Jackie finishes
her stuff. He's waited his turn. He tries again, cut three,
b let me just take a questionfrom the back. Well, I just
took a bunch of questions on this. I want yeah. You also,
you also screamed you. I said, wait your turn. But now we're
running out of time. Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. Yeah.
(19:56):
So it refuses today because she knowsshe's caught in a big, huge,
fat whop and lie, and thatthe president United States needs directions to
tell him you need to walk tothe podium. You need here's her picture,
call on this woman, and here'sthe question she's going to ask you.
And here was She literally had tobe scripted for everything during a joint
press contrariant move by the way,wait your turn, and then sorry,
(20:18):
right, that's a perfect right time. No more in that line. And
for the roller coaster, this isn'tthe line for the roller coaster. Oh
my god, good god, ohmy god. It just goes to your
point before it's that. You know, if I maybe you know in twenty
years, I'm going to need helplike a pocket card. Not a problem
I I if my dad were herestill, he wouldn't need a pocket card.
(20:41):
My dad was not president. Ihave no intentions to, nor do
I have the building to become president. And that's exactly the issue I look
at. I have my political differenceswith a lot of people on this planet,
from from from tops in the worldto the dog catcher of a certain
town. But this guy is thepresident. This is not political. If
he was my grandfather, I'd givehim a hug and take him out for
(21:03):
an ice cream and whatever he wants. To do right. I mean,
again, we bought most of usright. But again, he's not my
grandfather, was not the president.My father, who is eighty six years
old and barely gets God bless him, is right, barely gets off the
couch, um, you know,and he probably wouldn't want me saying that,
but you know, he's eighty sixyears old. I would if if
(21:25):
my father tomorrow said hey, y'all, Ben, I think I'm going to
run for president, I'd be like, well, I'm vote for you.
I mean, this is not apolitical thing with Joe Biden. Joe Biden
is just not well because he's veryold and something's going on. And again,
if he was my grandfather, I'di'd give him a hug. Yeah,
But that's the thing. People say, well, you hate Joe Biden
because you don't agree with his politics. Well maybe that's true, but that's
(21:47):
not the reason he shouldn't be president. I mean, people who I don't
agree with have been president in thepast and will be in the future.
This is not about that. Thisis about just look at him. You
go to your local nursing home,walk down the hall. Check out a
few people sitting there eating. They'reputting whatever they're doing, and then go
back and watch clips of Joe Bidenand tell me he doesn't look closer to
the nursing home people than to avibrant president of the United States. And
(22:10):
again, not a political insult,a factual thing. Yep, but yep,
whatever, Baby's just me. Butoddly enough, here's the thing that
was not the biggest story this week. No, no, the thing that
took over the airwaves this week withthe fact that two big giant news anchors
to count them two, Um,we're out it. We're basically ousted,
(22:30):
is the better word? Where we'rethrowing sounds like a different thing happen does
First one is Don Lemon at CNNwas fired this week. And it's easy.
I'll be honest with you. Ithink it's easy to see why Lemon
is out. I have a bestof Lemon getting into issues on TV cut
nine. As a fellow citizen.You're sitting here, whatever ethnicity, are
(22:52):
explaining to me, whatever ethnicity.I'll tell you what I Nikkihley is in
our prime. Sorry, when awoman is concern or be in a prime
in or twenties, at thirties,and maybe that's not according to me Prime
for what it depends, and it'sjust like Prime. If you look it
up, it'll say if you ifyou google when is a woman in a
Prime, it'll say twenties, thirtiesand forties the Boston Tea Party rioting.
(23:18):
So don't do not get it twistedand think that, oh, this is
something that has not never happened before, and then this is so terrible and
where are we and these savages andall of that. This is how this
country was started. He's talking aboutGeorge Floyd protesters in that last bit the
first one, he's having a fightwith Ramaswamy and telling Ramswammy he has no
right to talk about minority. He'seven though Ramiswammy is a minority. So,
(23:38):
I mean he's gotten into done somestupid things in the year, so
I kind of see what happened there. But the other anchor that was fired
was Tucker Carlson at Fox, whois probably the top rated cable news host
talk show host in any across theboard, in any network in the country.
(24:00):
And he signed off on Friday likethis cut fifteen, that's it for
us for the week, and we'llbe back on Monday. In the meantime,
have the best weekend with the onesthat you love and we'll see them.
And then Monday he was out.So he obviously had no idea what's
(24:21):
coming. And boy did the leftstart to celebrate the fact that he was
out. Cut twenty Please, FoxNews Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to
part ways. We thank you forhis service to the networking to hols it
a contribute. Ways. You know, we'll talk more about it tomorrow because
(24:48):
but we wanted to make sure thatwe let you know what was going.
Well, can I can I askthe audience if they'll help me do something?
Come on, folks, na naga. So you know, if Tucker
(25:14):
Carlson was that bad, why washe so highly rated? If he's so
highly rated, why is he offthe air? Well, there's an interesting
thought going around. This was SenatorChuck Schumer Majority Leader Chuck Senator Chuck Schumer
on the floor a few couple monthsago basically ordering Rupert Murdoch and Fox News
not to run another segment regarding Januarysix, which was what Tucker Carlson was
(25:37):
doing Cut twenty three. He's goingto come back tonight with another segment.
Fox News should tell him not toFox News Rupert Murdoch tell Carlson not to
run a second segment of lies.I urged Fox News to order Carlson to
cease propagating the big lie on hisnetwork and to let with their viewers about
(26:00):
the truth, the truth behind theefforts to mislead the public. Conduct like
theirs is just asking for another Januarysixth to happen. Did Fox News take
orders to the Murdox, take ordersfrom Chuck Schumer and the progressive left?
(26:21):
Possibly another explanation is this cut fifteenA. Imagine if Fox News attacked anyone
who refused to buy my pillow asan ally of Russia, as an enemy
of science, and then imagine thatFox kept up those libelous attacks even as
evidence mounted that my pillow caused heartattacks, fertility problems, and death.
If Fox News did that, whatwould you think of Fox News? Would
(26:45):
you trust us? Of course youwouldn't. You would know that we were
liars, Thank heaven. Fox Newsnever did anything like that, but the
other channels did. The other channelstook hundreds of millions of dollars from big
pharmac companies, and then they shilledfor their sketchy products on the air,
and as they did that, theymaligned anyone who was skeptical of those products.
(27:06):
At the very least, this wasa moral crime. It was disgusting,
but it was universal. It happenedto cross the American news media.
They all did it. So atthis point the question isn't who in public
life has corrupt too many to count. The question is who is telling the
truth? So that's the other shoe, is that did Big Farma orchestrate this
(27:27):
to get rid of him? Andyou know who is actually promoting that theory
is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.Who is running on the Democratic ticket for
president, and he has a bigbone to pick with Big Farma, and
he says, that's the reason whyTucker Carlson is out is because he was
taking shots at Farmer and exposing theirduplicity and how the fact that they were
(27:48):
in bed with the progressive left overvaccinations and other things such as that.
So I don't know why Tucker's out, but Tucker's out. Of course,
whenever anybody gets ousted unless there's aclear cut reason, and there have been
times when you go, oh,well that's why he's out or she's out.
Um, in this case, there'sI've saw why he was he was
bleeping up. That was ninety percentof why he's out. Yeah, there
(28:10):
might be something else too. Butbut with the with the Tucker Carlson thing,
and I've read stories and things andpeople saying, wow, this is
why, and this is why,and this is why. One of the
other things they said is though hewas wildly popular, they were having trouble
getting big companies to advertise, likethey had a lot of advertisers, but
they were smaller fish, so tospeak. So maybe there was a monetary
thing. I don't know how muchTucker Carlson made, and I don't know
(28:33):
how much Fox uh took in forhis show, but that could have been
one thing. Again, there's probablyone hundred reasons uh then pick one or
pick all of them, it doesn'tmatter I do. I want to quickly
go back to that that cut weplayed with the view because I didn't have
time to get it in then.But so it's always funny when something happens
to people the view doesn't like.And I won't use the view specifically,
there are a lot of shows likethem. But so they said to the
(28:56):
audience, Oh, Tucker Carlson's out, and you hear this loud applause,
like everybody in the world is happyTucker Carlson's gone, and you know,
let's let's let's rain it in ladies. Um. You know they you've got
a crowd that is basically your choir. You're the preachers, they're the choir.
So of course they're going to agreewith whatever you say. There's a
big sign that there's like sixty peoplein the audience or a hundred whatever they
(29:18):
have. I don't want to getin trouble for saying the wrong number,
but it's a It's a small crowdrelative to the country. It would be
like, uh, going to aflat Earth society gathering of one hundred people
and saying, hey, the Earthis flat. They all applaud. That
doesn't mean they Earth is flat.It means you're in the crowd that agrees
(29:40):
with you. So when you sayTucker Carlson's gone to the audience of the
view, of course they're gonna cheer. That's who they are, exactly right.
You know, I don't know howmany people in the country are happy
or sad that Tucker's gone, butit's just can tell you this Fox News
is ratings are going through into thetoilets, so that might give you an
idea how many people support Tucker beingwell not obviously, they have a lot
of properties other than Tucker Carlson,so I would guess that some people are
(30:02):
watching some other things too. Yes, however, their numbers directly correlated to
Monday when he was let go,have gone to the basement, So it's
a direct correlation. So I thinkthat makes your point that there are a
lot of other people who other thanthe few that were in the audience of
the view who were horrified and sayno, no, we're gone with Tucker.
(30:23):
So there you go. But Iwanted to play one more. I
know, we played a lot ofBiden cuts, you know, and they
would actually technically count as bidenisms,but there's one I just want to do
before we go, all right,And this was the President at a White
House I don't know what you'd callit, I guess reception, and he
wanted to call attention to a congresswomanfrom Connecticut who's sitting in the front row.
(30:47):
This is very important before you listento this cut. Her name is
Johanna Johanna Hayes, Congresswoman Johanna Hayes. Everybody got that. Everybody know where
her name is, Johannah Hayes cutthree. Thank you for the members of
Congress for here today, including twooutstanding educating congresswomen Jonah and by the way,
Jonah Hayes. Jonah, where areyou there? You are Jonah right
(31:11):
in front of me. Stand up, Jonah. Jonah happens to be a
teacher, happens to be the twentysixteen National Teacher of the Year. Okay,
so again that was written out forhim and he couldn't pronounce it,
and she was sitting right in frontmultiple times. You know, he's known
(31:32):
for making a mistake but then somehowcorrecting himself. He never corrected him.
No, and of course she wastoo gracious. She was too gracious to
do that. So yeah, justa reminder that's who's running in twenty twenty
four. That or the word saladqueen, one of those two. Just
just saying good luck to you.Yeah. Yeah. If you want to
wish the president luck or any ofus luck if he is reelected again,
(31:55):
please feel free to contact Benjamin andI on Twitter at newsbite three an e
Wsbyte three, or on Facebook Newsbiteis the handle there. We upload a
new episode every single Monday, socheck back next week and see what new
offerings we have. Have a lovelyweek. I'm Nancy Shack and by the
way, if there's no new showon a Monday, you'll know we've been
(32:19):
Tucker Carlson, I'm Ben Parker.This is Newsbite
President Biden finally announces Tucker Carlson hasgiven the bums rush, and the Secretary
of Transportation says the GOP wants planesto crash. There are a lot of
incredible or maybe we should say theywere, we were incredulous of many of
the did they really just say that? Moments this week. I'm Nancy Shack,
I'm Ben Parker. This is newsbite present Biden about to make it
(00:34):
efficient. We're expecting a campaign stylevideo announcement edits are now being made on
a video we are told our WhiteHouse team reporting that he reported at least
parts of this video two weekends ago. Let's finished this job. I know
we can't because this is the UnitedStates of there. There's nothing nothing we
cannot do for going together. That'sit for us for the week, and
(00:56):
we'll be back on Monday. Inthe meantime, have the best weekend.
I'm not sure Americans are all realizedthat one of the things they're talking about
cutting is our ability to grow theair traffic control workforce. Their budget proposal
would actually mean shutting down air trafficcontrol powers. That was our Secretary Transportation
(01:19):
Pete luigig basically stop it, basicallytelling Americans that the GOP wants to make
flying unsafe with their budget cuts.I mean, I'd like to hear the
full We'll play the full thing withoutmusic underneath it. But he's out there
fear mongering, trying to say thatthe President's budget is the one you want
because the Republicans want to kill youin plane crashes, because they want to
(01:44):
take away air traffic controllers Cut fortytwo. I'm not sure Americans are all
realized that one of the things they'retalking about cutting is our ability to grow
the air traffic control workforce. Theirbudget proposal would actually mean shutting down air
traffic control hours. Okay, I'mcalling bullbleep on that, and I want
to remind everybody, or tell thesecretary what everybody does realize is that you
(02:07):
really suck as a Secretary of TransportationCut forty two. A. Every flight
in the US grounded for a timetoday. That's the first time that's happened
since nine to eleven be trained arailmentin Ohio which resulted in a massive fire
and toxic chemical spill. Particularly underfire is Transportation Secretary Pete Buddhajad, do
(02:27):
you think this issue will be sortedin time for the holidays. I think
it's going to get better by theholidays. Passengers forced us sleep at airports
like it's scattered from city to city. Christmas was just ruined. This was
the worst Christmas ever. I Wishipis not like this. There was about
another trained arailment this week. Transportationis a fine. There are now trains
cars in the Mississippi, so it'sit's yeah, so you know. So
(02:51):
for him to get out there andsay that the Republicans want to make transportation
less safe is one of the mostludicrous statements i've very long time. I
will say this because I always totry to be the devil's advocate or whatever
it is. Uh, Pete wasn'tdriving the train that tipped over, But
certainly transportation needs some help in thiscountry, and and and somebody's got to
(03:13):
do something. Nobody is suggesting thatPete's actually driving trains. But he is
responsible for making the tracks safe,he is responsible for making the airlines run
safely. He's responsible for all ofthat. And he has failed miserable the
transportation department as a whole, whichPete bo judges the second time they are
(03:34):
the oversea or the the authoritarian partof a transportation. I mean, you
have your trains and your planes andyour automobiles, which, by the way,
is a great movie. Um Idigress. But yeah, and they
people drive him and run them.But but you have to have the people
in charge. Someone someone's always atthe top and in this case Pete and
then all of his people below him, and somebody's dropping the kicking the can
(03:57):
down the road or dropping. Secretaryof Transportation is doing a good job when
you're not hearing about transportation exactly right, exactly right. And every week there's
an issue Southwest aliens burned up again. I mean it's like this is this
is under our supply chain. Issueshave not gotten any better, this is
this is him. This he shouldnot I'll be honest with you. I
(04:20):
blame President Biden more than I blamedthe secretary. He was not um he
should never have been Secretary of Transportation. He did not have the requisite experience
to do it and didn't give himphil and potholes didn't do it, and
being a driver when he was inthe service did not do it. So
and that's on Biden, not onhim. He granted, people can argue
(04:43):
he shouldn't have taken a job thathe wasn't qualified for, but okay,
they offered it to him. Idon't think he understood exactly how how complicated
it was when he's been spending histime making sure that rhads aren't racist and
the crash dummies are female. SoI mean, that's what he's been doing.
He should never have been in theposi and I blame Joe Biden for
picking him. I blame Joe Bidenfor driving the train. Oh no,
(05:03):
he wasn't driving the training. He'sdriving our train though, the American trains
off the cliff. And that actuallywhat Bouda Jig said got lost in the
news cycle this week because the bigannouncement came this week. That's cut eight
A freedom. Personal freedom is fundamentalto who we are as Americans. There's
(05:24):
nothing more important, nothing more sacred. That's been the work of my first
turn to fight for our democracy.It shouldn't be a red or volution to
protect our rights, to make surethat everyone in this country is treated equally
and that everyone is given a fairshot at making it. But you know,
around the country, maggar extremists arelining up to take on those bedrock
(05:46):
freedoms, cutting Social Security and youpaid for your entire life, while cutting
taxes for the very wealthy, dictatingwhat healthcare decisions women can make, banning
books, and telling people who theycan love. All why I'm making it
more difficult for you to be ableto vote. Yeah. So that was
the President announcing his running in twentytwenty four. Let the fund begin.
(06:09):
I mean, he just he justlied through his teeth about MAGA positions.
But he's been doing that for awhile. And you know, the press.
The first questions the press asked,we're basically the first question that I
would have asked, and that thisman is over eighty years old? Can
he finish two terms in office?Cut twenty two? B the president planning
(06:31):
to serve all eight years? I'mnot. I'm just not going to get
ahead of the president. That's somethingfor him to decide. I'm just not
going to get ahead of it.And we're there's a twenty twenty four campaign.
Anything related to that, I wouldrefer you to that. Oh my
god. That was the White HousePress secretary not answering the question can the
president serve all eight years of twoterms? Oh mg? The I mean,
(06:58):
if I were working on Biden's campaign. I cannot begin to tell you
it probably, you know, Iwould probably just dropped out of a heart
attack right then and there. Thatthe Press secretary. She had to walk
that back within an hour of makingthat statement. So of course he's going
to of course that's what you answer. I think what she answered was actually
very accurate. Only he can decide, you know, and that she wasn't
sure. But that's but her jobis press secretary, so lie through her
(07:20):
teeth and so, as we havediscussed on many occasions, she lies when
she doesn't have to. Why wouldn'tshe lie there? Because maybe she herself
has doubts the president could finish Iwouldn't two terms. And there have been
some poles, um which of courseI always I always uh leary about poles.
And I'll tell you why. There'salways been her reason. I've never
(07:40):
been pulled in my entire life.Never, I've never pulled. No.
Never I've been hit with a pole, but that's a long story. But
no, I've never been pulled.So I always look at them and say,
well, they didn't ask me,but they're anyway. They have been
poles where even Democrats are like onehe's too old. They thinks it's one
thing. Look, you're always goingto have the other party saying yeah,
(08:01):
I don't like that guy. ButI mean now now his own party people
regularly poled. People in his ownparty are going home. What the hell?
So he was giving doing a jointpress conference for the President of South
Korea, and of course you know, one of the questions was cut thirty
one with regard to age. Ican't even say, I guess how old
(08:22):
I am. I can't even saythe number I've done't register with me.
But the only thing I can sayis that one of the things that people
are going to find out how they'regoing to see a race and they're going
to judge whether or not I haveor don't have it. I respect them
taking a hard look at it.I'd take a hard look at it as
well. I took a hard lookat it before I decided to run.
(08:43):
And I feel good. I feelexcited about the prospects, and I think
we're in the verge of really turningthe corner and away we have in a
long time. I don't know aboutyou, but having the presidents say I
can't even say the name, hedoesn't know how old he is? Can
somebody tell me? You know?I think he doesn't. I was thinking
when he said that, Um,perhaps I never want to put words in
(09:07):
anybody's mouth, but perhaps, likeI sometimes i'm fifty five, I don't
mind saying that. And there weredays when I I'm like, I feel
like I just got out of highschool, you know, like you're ready,
just isn't It's just a number kindof thing. So I think that's
where he was going with it.But we never know where he's going.
That's true. But here's the thing. Your compass mentis is not in question
by you, yeah, by me, So that's true, but his is.
(09:30):
Well, I think if you're presidentUnited States and people are worried about
your age and are making fun ofthe fact that you can't remember things,
I think the last thing you dois say I don't know how old I
am. Well, the thing aboutyou or I or anyone else anyone listening
right now, hello, Uh,you know, when they think about their
age in that regard whatever, they'renot president or running for president. And
I think that that's that's a bigdifference, and he is. And it's
(09:54):
a big question. And not onlythat because he did that. He laid
a lot of things open for people. One for people to ask the question
is can you really do this?And I'm not talking about you or me
asking I'm talking about people like NickyHaley, Ambassador Nicky Haley, who was
also running for president on the Republicanticket. But she came right out.
I was you could have knocked meover with a feather. She came right
(10:16):
out and said she's not sure he'sgoing to live till eighty six. Cut
six A. If you vote forJoe Biden, you really are counting on
a president Harris because the idea thathe would make it until eighty six years
old is not something that I thinkis likely. Okay, probably not right.
And here's the thing that she's aRepublican, right, But that same
(10:39):
issue, like if you're going tovote for Biden, remember you are actually
voting for a president Harris because hecannot finish a second term is not unique
to the Republican Party. Here isVan Jones on CNN on CNN, which
is, you know, a watercarrier for the Democratic Party saying basically the
(11:00):
same thing. Cut three A.I know that every four years we talk
about the significance of a vice presidentialpick. You and I have probably shared
a CNN set on like a vicepresidential debate night talking about how it was
this time, this time, we'regonna mean it. Yes, absolutely,
it's a Listen. She is insuch an unusual position. She's a woman,
(11:22):
she's black, she's Asian, andshe's running alongside the oldest person to
ever do it. So she's essentiallyrunning for president. That's what she's doing.
And I think people understand that.I think she understands that, and
I think I think that she's goingto rise to the occasion. I agree
with you. They gave her toughassignments that literally no president has been able
to solve. I think it's unfairto her. But now her job is
(11:43):
to make the case for what thisadministration has been able to do. She's
got a great case to make,it a great opportunity to make it.
She doesn't make cases very well though, that's part of her. That's the
issue is that, you know,Okay, so they're admitting that we're actually
not voting for Joe Biden in thiscampaign for a second, you're actually voting
for Harris. Let me remind youabout Vice President Harris This is something that
(12:03):
she said. You know, welaugh about word salad. She adds something
to it every week. Here's anotherexample. Cut five A. So,
I think it's very important, asyou have heard from so many incredible leaders
for us at every moment in time, and certainly this one, to see
(12:26):
the moment in time in which weexist and are present, and to be
able to contextualize it, to understandwhere we exist in the history and in
the moment as it relates not onlyto the past but the future. It's
almost amazing that any person, letalone the vice president of the United States.
(12:48):
It's very It's amazing that someone cansay so much and yet say so
little and then confuse the hell outof you while saying nothing. Oh my
god, And that's who you wantin charge. That's who you want dealing
with Putin and what that's gonna be. I'm not the most eloquent speaker in
the world, but good god,I'm not the vice president either. I
mean, I don't know. Look, we we kind of have an idea
(13:11):
of what played out in twenty twenty. And yeah, I mean, if
you voted for Biden, you feltthat, Okay, well, this is
nice. We have a woman vicepresident and blah blah blah blah blah,
great whatever, but but but itis the truth. Listen, if you're
a Biden supporter or were a Bidensupporter and are thinking of voting for him
in twenty twenty four, whoever youare, random person who may vote for
Joe Biden, you're not voting forJoe Biden. I mean, really realistically,
(13:35):
you're not voting for So if youdon't like Kamala Harris and the thought
of Kamala Harris because she ran forpresident, remember and she didn't do very
well, and that that's why sheshould make it to the game. That's
how she ended up being the vicepresident, will pick So. So if
you didn't want to vote for herfor president four years ago when she was
running for president, why would youin essence vote for her now because she's
(14:00):
running. I mean, the onlylogical reason you would do that is what
I've said many times is we don'tvote for president anymore. We vote against
You don't want so much, so, but I need to. That's why
the Republicans have to be careful whothey put up there. And I know
I know there's because that's who's runningwhoever's running for the Republicans is running against
(14:20):
Kamala Harris. Really you are.And even if you don't believe us about
that, and honest to God,both Republicans and Democrats have agreed that that's
what's happening. Even if you don't, I want to remind you the condition
that President Biden is in. Okay, this was yesterday. He did not
make the best showing and he wastalking to kids. Cut three C I'm
(14:43):
gonna take two more. I'm gettingmyself in trouble here because your parents are
saying, why is he going tostop? And my Secret Service agents they're
packing, so I gotta be carefulwhat they tell. So I'm trying to
think over the last words. Thelast place I was. It's hard to
keep track, U I mean,yeah, you're right, Ireland, that's
(15:03):
where it was. What's your favoritemovie? My favorite movie was the new
movie that was about that guy whoflies jet plains. You know who I'm
talking about, A top gun?Did you see did you see Top one?
Maverick? That's been my favorite movieI've seen this year. Okay,
for getting him a movie, allright, but he can remember he went
(15:26):
to Ireland. That's the last placeuntil like kid reminds him he went to
Ireland. Uh, you all youhave to do listen, We hear him,
and we play. Obviously we geta chance to cherry pick the best
of the worst or the worst ofthe best of what Biden says. And
that's fine. And so there maybe people to go who listen, turn
on the freaking news on any onany channel, CNN, Fox, that
(15:48):
your local TV doesn't matter, geta picture out of the paper. Here's
the thing, and there's a sadnessto it, but a reality to it.
The sadness is that, look,he's an older man. We've all
had grandparents and we've watched them totear rerate and that's his case. He
he's the president. He wants torun for president again. But but look
at him. This is not athis isn't even a political thing. Would
(16:10):
you want your elderly grandfather who's likethree steps from the nursing home being the
president under that kind of stress?Right? Yeah, And so you don't
have to believe the cuts we playor anything like that. And I know
that the politics go on on theTVs all over the way. Just look
at him standing there and don't tellme when he's standing at an event,
because I had elderly grandparents, theirpassion. Now, but when you look
(16:33):
at him, he's not there.There's a vacancy in the eyes, even
when he's just standing watching somebody dosomething else. And that's a problem to
your point. It was so badthis week and here's the president of South
Korea visiting. It was so badthat when he went to do the joint
(16:55):
press conference with the South Korean president, his staff handed him a pocket what's
called a pocket card, and itwas a card that told him who to
call on a picture of the reporterand her question that was typed on there,
so he said, and his answerwas on the pocket card, so
that he had it in front ofhim. We know this because somebody,
(17:18):
very enterprising took a picture of thepocket card, so we can see it
and we can see everything on itwhile it is in his hand. One
of the most disconcerting things about itis that in it he had directions of
what to do, and they wereyou big giant capital letters. Why ou
you walked to the podium you callon literally they had to do it in
(17:41):
giant hyou to tell him, givehim directions? Now, we all saw
this. This was frightening for mostpeople to see that the president needed directions
like this. So this came up, and I must say this came up
at Jackie Heinrich from Fox News askedKarine Jean Pierre, the White House Press
Secretary, about it, and Ihave to say she did it very well
(18:03):
in a very gracious, non accusatory, non confrontation away. But it's a
very difficult question to ask, andshe did a good job. Cut one
b the La Times that their reporterdid not submit any questions and advancing yesterday's
press conferences. So to people whosaw that pocket card, can you explain
how that ended up there and whythe president needed something like that. Look,
(18:25):
we do not have specific questions inadvance. That's that's something that we
do. Our job is to geta sense of what you all want to
ask, and that is our jobhere to get a sense of what's the
news of the day, the topicsyou all are interested to ask of him.
Now, her answer was much longerthan that. It went on for
five minutes about but she tried todraw red herrings across the path by talking
(18:48):
about the economy, by talking aboutother things. But That was basically how
she responded to the question about thepocket card. Now here's the thing.
We all saw the pocket card.For her to say we don't do that
is bizarre because we're looking right atit. She's basically saying, who do
you believe me or your lying eyes. So another reporter tried to ask a
question about the prompt card, andhe got cut off at the knees,
(19:10):
cut two by I'm not I'm nottaking a call at Jackie us your colleague.
Your colleague is not done. It'sa very reasonable no. But to
hear you can you can you waityour turn? Like, thank you,
thank you, John, I appreciatethat. I really do good. Okay,
(19:33):
So she's saying, wait your turn, right, So then Jackie finishes
her stuff. He's waited his turn. He tries again, cut three,
b let me just take a questionfrom the back. Well, I just
took a bunch of questions on this. I want yeah. You also,
you also screamed you. I said, wait your turn. But now we're
running out of time. Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. Yeah.
(19:56):
So it refuses today because she knowsshe's caught in a big, huge,
fat whop and lie, and thatthe president United States needs directions to
tell him you need to walk tothe podium. You need here's her picture,
call on this woman, and here'sthe question she's going to ask you.
And here was She literally had tobe scripted for everything during a joint
press contrariant move by the way,wait your turn, and then sorry,
(20:18):
right, that's a perfect right time. No more in that line. And
for the roller coaster, this isn'tthe line for the roller coaster. Oh
my god, good god, ohmy god. It just goes to your
point before it's that. You know, if I maybe you know in twenty
years, I'm going to need helplike a pocket card. Not a problem
I I if my dad were herestill, he wouldn't need a pocket card.
(20:41):
My dad was not president. Ihave no intentions to, nor do
I have the building to become president. And that's exactly the issue I look
at. I have my political differenceswith a lot of people on this planet,
from from from tops in the worldto the dog catcher of a certain
town. But this guy is thepresident. This is not political. If
he was my grandfather, I'd givehim a hug and take him out for
(21:03):
an ice cream and whatever he wants. To do right. I mean,
again, we bought most of usright. But again, he's not my
grandfather, was not the president.My father, who is eighty six years
old and barely gets God bless him, is right, barely gets off the
couch, um, you know,and he probably wouldn't want me saying that,
but you know, he's eighty sixyears old. I would if if
(21:25):
my father tomorrow said hey, y'all, Ben, I think I'm going to
run for president, I'd be like, well, I'm vote for you.
I mean, this is not apolitical thing with Joe Biden. Joe Biden
is just not well because he's veryold and something's going on. And again,
if he was my grandfather, I'di'd give him a hug. Yeah,
But that's the thing. People say, well, you hate Joe Biden
because you don't agree with his politics. Well maybe that's true, but that's
(21:47):
not the reason he shouldn't be president. I mean, people who I don't
agree with have been president in thepast and will be in the future.
This is not about that. Thisis about just look at him. You
go to your local nursing home,walk down the hall. Check out a
few people sitting there eating. They'reputting whatever they're doing, and then go
back and watch clips of Joe Bidenand tell me he doesn't look closer to
the nursing home people than to avibrant president of the United States. And
(22:10):
again, not a political insult,a factual thing. Yep, but yep,
whatever, Baby's just me. Butoddly enough, here's the thing that
was not the biggest story this week. No, no, the thing that
took over the airwaves this week withthe fact that two big giant news anchors
to count them two, Um,we're out it. We're basically ousted,
(22:30):
is the better word? Where we'rethrowing sounds like a different thing happen does
First one is Don Lemon at CNNwas fired this week. And it's easy.
I'll be honest with you. Ithink it's easy to see why Lemon
is out. I have a bestof Lemon getting into issues on TV cut
nine. As a fellow citizen.You're sitting here, whatever ethnicity, are
(22:52):
explaining to me, whatever ethnicity.I'll tell you what I Nikkihley is in
our prime. Sorry, when awoman is concern or be in a prime
in or twenties, at thirties,and maybe that's not according to me Prime
for what it depends, and it'sjust like Prime. If you look it
up, it'll say if you ifyou google when is a woman in a
Prime, it'll say twenties, thirtiesand forties the Boston Tea Party rioting.
(23:18):
So don't do not get it twistedand think that, oh, this is
something that has not never happened before, and then this is so terrible and
where are we and these savages andall of that. This is how this
country was started. He's talking aboutGeorge Floyd protesters in that last bit the
first one, he's having a fightwith Ramaswamy and telling Ramswammy he has no
right to talk about minority. He'seven though Ramiswammy is a minority. So,
(23:38):
I mean he's gotten into done somestupid things in the year, so
I kind of see what happened there. But the other anchor that was fired
was Tucker Carlson at Fox, whois probably the top rated cable news host
talk show host in any across theboard, in any network in the country.
(24:00):
And he signed off on Friday likethis cut fifteen, that's it for
us for the week, and we'llbe back on Monday. In the meantime,
have the best weekend with the onesthat you love and we'll see them.
And then Monday he was out.So he obviously had no idea what's
(24:21):
coming. And boy did the leftstart to celebrate the fact that he was
out. Cut twenty Please, FoxNews Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to
part ways. We thank you forhis service to the networking to hols it
a contribute. Ways. You know, we'll talk more about it tomorrow because
(24:48):
but we wanted to make sure thatwe let you know what was going.
Well, can I can I askthe audience if they'll help me do something?
Come on, folks, na naga. So you know, if Tucker
(25:14):
Carlson was that bad, why washe so highly rated? If he's so
highly rated, why is he offthe air? Well, there's an interesting
thought going around. This was SenatorChuck Schumer Majority Leader Chuck Senator Chuck Schumer
on the floor a few couple monthsago basically ordering Rupert Murdoch and Fox News
not to run another segment regarding Januarysix, which was what Tucker Carlson was
(25:37):
doing Cut twenty three. He's goingto come back tonight with another segment.
Fox News should tell him not toFox News Rupert Murdoch tell Carlson not to
run a second segment of lies.I urged Fox News to order Carlson to
cease propagating the big lie on hisnetwork and to let with their viewers about
(26:00):
the truth, the truth behind theefforts to mislead the public. Conduct like
theirs is just asking for another Januarysixth to happen. Did Fox News take
orders to the Murdox, take ordersfrom Chuck Schumer and the progressive left?
(26:21):
Possibly another explanation is this cut fifteenA. Imagine if Fox News attacked anyone
who refused to buy my pillow asan ally of Russia, as an enemy
of science, and then imagine thatFox kept up those libelous attacks even as
evidence mounted that my pillow caused heartattacks, fertility problems, and death.
If Fox News did that, whatwould you think of Fox News? Would
(26:45):
you trust us? Of course youwouldn't. You would know that we were
liars, Thank heaven. Fox Newsnever did anything like that, but the
other channels did. The other channelstook hundreds of millions of dollars from big
pharmac companies, and then they shilledfor their sketchy products on the air,
and as they did that, theymaligned anyone who was skeptical of those products.
(27:06):
At the very least, this wasa moral crime. It was disgusting,
but it was universal. It happenedto cross the American news media.
They all did it. So atthis point the question isn't who in public
life has corrupt too many to count. The question is who is telling the
truth? So that's the other shoe, is that did Big Farma orchestrate this
(27:27):
to get rid of him? Andyou know who is actually promoting that theory
is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.Who is running on the Democratic ticket for
president, and he has a bigbone to pick with Big Farma, and
he says, that's the reason whyTucker Carlson is out is because he was
taking shots at Farmer and exposing theirduplicity and how the fact that they were
(27:48):
in bed with the progressive left overvaccinations and other things such as that.
So I don't know why Tucker's out, but Tucker's out. Of course,
whenever anybody gets ousted unless there's aclear cut reason, and there have been
times when you go, oh,well that's why he's out or she's out.
Um, in this case, there'sI've saw why he was he was
bleeping up. That was ninety percentof why he's out. Yeah, there
(28:10):
might be something else too. Butbut with the with the Tucker Carlson thing,
and I've read stories and things andpeople saying, wow, this is
why, and this is why,and this is why. One of the
other things they said is though hewas wildly popular, they were having trouble
getting big companies to advertise, likethey had a lot of advertisers, but
they were smaller fish, so tospeak. So maybe there was a monetary
thing. I don't know how muchTucker Carlson made, and I don't know
(28:33):
how much Fox uh took in forhis show, but that could have been
one thing. Again, there's probablyone hundred reasons uh then pick one or
pick all of them, it doesn'tmatter I do. I want to quickly
go back to that that cut weplayed with the view because I didn't have
time to get it in then.But so it's always funny when something happens
to people the view doesn't like.And I won't use the view specifically,
there are a lot of shows likethem. But so they said to the
(28:56):
audience, Oh, Tucker Carlson's out, and you hear this loud applause,
like everybody in the world is happyTucker Carlson's gone, and you know,
let's let's let's rain it in ladies. Um. You know they you've got
a crowd that is basically your choir. You're the preachers, they're the choir.
So of course they're going to agreewith whatever you say. There's a
big sign that there's like sixty peoplein the audience or a hundred whatever they
(29:18):
have. I don't want to getin trouble for saying the wrong number,
but it's a It's a small crowdrelative to the country. It would be
like, uh, going to aflat Earth society gathering of one hundred people
and saying, hey, the Earthis flat. They all applaud. That
doesn't mean they Earth is flat.It means you're in the crowd that agrees
(29:40):
with you. So when you sayTucker Carlson's gone to the audience of the
view, of course they're gonna cheer. That's who they are, exactly right.
You know, I don't know howmany people in the country are happy
or sad that Tucker's gone, butit's just can tell you this Fox News
is ratings are going through into thetoilets, so that might give you an
idea how many people support Tucker beingwell not obviously, they have a lot
of properties other than Tucker Carlson,so I would guess that some people are
(30:02):
watching some other things too. Yes, however, their numbers directly correlated to
Monday when he was let go,have gone to the basement, So it's
a direct correlation. So I thinkthat makes your point that there are a
lot of other people who other thanthe few that were in the audience of
the view who were horrified and sayno, no, we're gone with Tucker.
(30:23):
So there you go. But Iwanted to play one more. I
know, we played a lot ofBiden cuts, you know, and they
would actually technically count as bidenisms,but there's one I just want to do
before we go, all right,And this was the President at a White
House I don't know what you'd callit, I guess reception, and he
wanted to call attention to a congresswomanfrom Connecticut who's sitting in the front row.
(30:47):
This is very important before you listento this cut. Her name is
Johanna Johanna Hayes, Congresswoman Johanna Hayes. Everybody got that. Everybody know where
her name is, Johannah Hayes cutthree. Thank you for the members of
Congress for here today, including twooutstanding educating congresswomen Jonah and by the way,
Jonah Hayes. Jonah, where areyou there? You are Jonah right
(31:11):
in front of me. Stand up, Jonah. Jonah happens to be a
teacher, happens to be the twentysixteen National Teacher of the Year. Okay,
so again that was written out forhim and he couldn't pronounce it,
and she was sitting right in frontmultiple times. You know, he's known
(31:32):
for making a mistake but then somehowcorrecting himself. He never corrected him.
No, and of course she wastoo gracious. She was too gracious to
do that. So yeah, justa reminder that's who's running in twenty twenty
four. That or the word saladqueen, one of those two. Just
just saying good luck to you.Yeah. Yeah. If you want to
wish the president luck or any ofus luck if he is reelected again,
