• 0:00
  Speaker 1: If you're a conservative, you're in shock to know that
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson is now out at Fox News Channel. If
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: you're a socialist or a communist, you're also shocked to
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: hear that Don Lemon was fired, So it wouldn't have
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: as big of a headline just an hour after Tucker
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Carlson was out at Fox News Channel. And how did
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: MSNBC break the news of two of the biggest names
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: in cable being out of their two competitors. Here's how
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: they broke the news.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Listen.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Now, the media landscape is significantly different than it was
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: just two hours ago, with two of the highest profile
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: cable hosts out of a job.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: First the news.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: At Tucker Carlson, who was regularly drawing three million viewers
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: a night, parted ways with Fox News and then just
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: an hour later Don Lemon tweeting he is out at
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: CNN after seventeen years with that network.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Day.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Don't even know how to celebrate it or to be
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: sad or what does it mean for the future. Now,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: let's deal with Tuger Carlson first, because that's who all
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: of us love. I have no doubt Tucker Carlson will
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: come back, and every time he comes back, he comes
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: back bigger. What's interesting about Tuger Carlson is he has
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: been fired from MSNBC, he came back bigger. He's been
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: fired from CNN, he came back bigger, and now he's
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: walked away from Fox News Channel.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: So what happens moving forward?
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I have no doubt he will come back in some
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: capacity in a way that is massive, whether it's direct,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: whether it's through an online team, or maybe even at
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: another conservative network.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Was this something he knew was coming.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: That's the speculation that everybody in the answer that everybody's
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out. Well, Friday night, Tucker Carlson was
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: speaking at the Heritage Foundation's fiftieth anniversary gala, and here
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: is what he had to say on Friday night. After
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: he did a normal show on Friday, saying I'll see
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: you back on Monday. There was no indication he was
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: saying goodbye to audience. In fact, his last segment with
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: IT was a pizza delivery guy that took down a
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: robber last week by tripping him caught on a ring doorbell.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: He had him on in his last segment eating pizza
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: with him. Not exactly how you would go out if
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: you thought it was your final show. So what did
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Tucker say on Friday night at the Heritage Foundation event?
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Here's what he said.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: The truth is contagious. Lying is, but the truth is
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: as well. And the second you decide to tell the
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: truth about something, you are filled with this I don't
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: want to get supernatural on you, but you are filled
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: with this power from somewhere else.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Try it.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Tell the truth about something. You feel it every day.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: The more you tell the truth, the stronger you become.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: That's completely real. It's measurable in the way that you feel.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: And of course the opposite is also true. The more
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: you lie, the weaker and more terrified you become. We
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: all know that feeling. You lie about something and all
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: of a sudden you're a prisoner of that lie.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: You buy it.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: You are weak and a freight. Drug and alcohol use
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: is the same way. It makes you weak and afraid.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: But you look around and you see these people, and
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: some of them really have paid a heavy price for
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: telling the truth, and they are cast out of their groups,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: whatever those groups are, but they do it anyway.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Now, you listened to Tiger Carlson on Friday night, and
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I think it's very clear even then he had no
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: idea what was going to happen over the weekend, or
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: if he did, he was hiding it. Now, why is
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Tuger Carlson not doing a show on Fox News Channel
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: any longer? A lot of this probably goes back to
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Dominion and the Dominion lawsuit, and Fox News had to
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: settle with Dominion. It was a case where there was
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Dominion saying, you guys came after us, right, you guys
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: came after us and implied that our machines were corrupted
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: and the elections were being stolen. And that is something
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: and an idea that cast lost in a settlement Fox
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: News over seven hundred million dollars. There's a very good
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: chance that it could come down to editorial control of
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the show again. There's people speculating online that after the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Dominion debacle where they've had to pay this seven hundred
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: plus million dollars and there's another lawsuit pending, that it
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: may have been a new decision from Fox News Channel
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: that they were going to have editorial control over everything
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: that airs, so that they don't find themselves with another
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: seven hundred million dollar lawsuit that they have to settle.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: And if that's the case, I could see where Tucker
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Carlson would say, I'm not going to play by those rules.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Is that a possibility, It certainly is. But outside of that,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: it doesn't seem to be a scandal. It seems to
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: be that things are changing at Fox. We also know
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: that last week Dan Bongino after ten years, a decade,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: after a decade, after ten years, he left Fox New
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Channel as well. They said it was over a contract dispute.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Part of that contract to dispute could have been the
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: issue of editorial control.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Again, there are many others that are speculating on this now.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: There's also a trend that's happening in anytime a business
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: changes a host. You see this happen when you have
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: a host change or a people like I'll never watch
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Fox again. Right, I was only watching Fox because of
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: my favorite host, and now that my favorite host has gone,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I am never going to watch again. We've seen this
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: play out several times. It's Fox still gonna be okay.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I think yes, I still think Fox has a very
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: important role to play in the conservative movement. I think
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: there's other brilliant conservative minds at Fox. Am I Sad
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and disappointed to see Tucker go. Yes, and so will
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: more than three million people a night that watch him.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: But when Bill.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: O'Reilly was gone, when Greta left, the list goes on
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: and on, there was still a hardcore conservative voices at
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Fox News channel to still make a difference. There are
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: people like Jesse Waters at waters World and others. Or
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: there's another way of looking at this. Was this the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: one that breaks the camel's back. There's a chance that
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: there are going to be people now that are going
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: to immediately leave and try to go to Newsmax Orn.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: There's also the argument of well, Ken Tucker Carlson show
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: up at Newsmax, could Bong Gino show up at Newsmax
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden Newsmax becomes Fox News two
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: point zero. The problem is the same lawsuit that Fox
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: News is faced with that they had to settle for
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: seven hundred plus million, is the same lawsuit that they're
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: also dealing with at Newsmax. So if you got rid
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: of Tucker or others because of all of this, then
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: is it a smart idea to have them pop up there?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: The question or the answer is we don't know yet.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Could they even afford Tucker Carlson. We don't know yet,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: But what I do know is that Tucker Carlson is
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: a brilliant and one of the most brilliant conservative minds
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: out there. It is a loss for the conservative movement.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Democrats are going to be cheering this on. They are
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: going to treat this as a massive victory, as they should.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: By the way, he had three million plus people a
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: night that he was talking directly to about hardcore conservative values.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: That, my friends, is an amazing thing.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: That is something that we should all be sad about,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: and it's something they're going to all be very happy about.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: But the show will go on. I can also promise
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: you that, let me say that again, the conservative movement
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: will go on. Tucker Carlson's work is not done. Tucker
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Carlson is still a very young man. Tucker Carlson, I
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: can promise you, is going to make a huge impact,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: make a huge difference in this country. Where he will
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: go to make that impact, I don't know. Could he
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: go back to the website he helped founded, Yes, I
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: believe he could.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Could he have a huge impact there, yes.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Could he still do TV maybe his own thing, maybe
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: a direct show on Rumble or something like that. Absolutely,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: he can do that. What I know is it's clear
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: that Tucker Carlson has a future. He has a big
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: future and a bright future, and he's not going to
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: be out of the conservative movement. That's what we should
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: be cheering on. That is what we should all be
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: really excited about. Now, before I get into more of
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: this story, I want to say thank you and tell
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: you about our good friends at the Gusta Precious Medals.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: You can get free gold just by learning about gold
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: iras from Augusta Precious Medals. It's important that you know
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: what's going on in this crazy economy and your hard

  Speaker 1: earned savings need protecting from the devalued dollar. Protecting from

  Speaker 1: the devalued dollar, especially if you're close to retirement. Augusta

  Speaker 1: Precious Medals will give you information on how to protect

• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Augusta Precious Metals and you can too. They will make
• 9:03

• 9:23
  Speaker 1: or Augusta Precious Metals dot Com. Let's move down now
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: to this Don Lemon story. Don Lemon is a guy
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: that has had a lot of hiccups lately at CNN.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: He's apparently had two of his coworkers leave the sets
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: crying because he's, you know, yelling at them and berating
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: them on set and even on live TV.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: They try to rehab him from that.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: The ratings ultimately have been a disaster on this show
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: after they canceled him in primetime in the morning. He's
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: been there for a long time. I have done probably
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: one hundred plus appearances on Don Lemon's show. I did
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: We Can Hit with him for gosh years on the
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: weekends when I edd CNN as well. I've done his
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: show probably more than any other show out there. We
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: have had epic battles, even where he was cussing at
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: me on live TV. If you want to go check
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: him out, they're on YouTube. He's now out at CNN.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: How did CNN announce it? Oliver Darcy their media guy
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: went on TV to tell the world what just happened.
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: I want to share with you some important news right
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: here at our own network. CNN's Aliver Darcy is back
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: with us. Oliver, what do you know?
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: Some shocking news again, John, In the world of cable news,
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: Don Lemon and CNN have parted ways. This is according
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: to a memo that was sent out to CNN employees
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: just moments ago. I'll read to you part of it, John,
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: actually most of it. It says, CNN and Don have
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: parted ways. Don will forever be a part of the
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: CNN family, and we thank him for his contributions over
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: the past seventeen years. We wish him well, and we
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: will be hearing him on in his future endeavors. And
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: then it goes on to say that the network is
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: committed to the morning show seen in This Morning, which
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: of course is hosted or was hosted by Don Lemon,
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: as well as Caitlin Collins and Poppy Harlow. Now this
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: statement is coming from CNN CEO Chris Lick. It does
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: not tell what happened what led to Don's departure, but
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: Don Lemon is no longer with CNN. According to this
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: memo that just went out to see in an employees John, I.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: Was going through my follow up as it was in
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: the Tucker Carlson case, and we announced that he is
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: leaving Fox or he and Fox imported ways. At the
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: top of the show was the why. But it's clear
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: from that that we don't have any more information on that.
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: Correct, not at the moment, John, But rest all shirt.
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: Once I get out of here, I will be making
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: some calls.
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: OLIVI, Darcy appreciate the hustle very much on this breaking
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: news story. And again, I don't know the details happening
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: while I'm sitting in the chair here, but I work here.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: I love this place. Certainly wish Don the best. He's
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: always been good to me as a colleague.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I love that good. You know, he's always been good
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: to me. That's all we're going to tell you on CNN. Now,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: the real backstory behind this was from what we've been told,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Don Lemon was nothing but a cancer inside of CNN
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: didn't work well with others. Don Lemon still has his
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: profile up on Twitter as a conchor of a hashtag
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Scenn this morning. He's the author of This Is Fire
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: and his book has got a little, you know, point
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: to it. He also put out a statement earlier It
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: said this, I was informed this morning by my agent
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: that I've been terminated by CNN.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: I am stunned.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: After seventeen years at CNN, I would have thought someone
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: in management would have had the decency to tell me directly.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: And no time was I ever given any indication that
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I would not be able to continue to do the
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: work I have loved at the network. It is clear
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: that there are some larger issues at play. With that said,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: I want to think my colleagues and the many teams
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I have worked with for an incredible run. They are
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the most talented journalists in the business, and I wish
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: them all the best now.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Just a week ago, by the way, just five.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Days ago, Don Lemon got into it on set in
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: a really awkward conversation with a man that is running
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: for President Vivic, and he was going after him and
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: he was hit with some facts about the NRA and
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: about the civil rights movement. It got awkward. I want
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: you to hear this again. This was Don Lemon. Just
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: five days ago.
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: They got their second amount of rights, and they actually
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: got the NRA played a big role in debt. But
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: today down the NRA did not play.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Did not play a big role.
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: This is a historical fact, but a storical fact. The
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: part that I find, as you say it's historical, bet,
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: part that I find insulting is when you say today
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: black Americans don't have those rights after we have gone through.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: That civil rights revolution, that you sitting.
• 14:00
  Speaker 8: Here telling an African American about the rights, and what
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: you find insulting about.
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: The way I live, the skin I live in every day.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Here's where you and all the threedom when.
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: In black and white, that black people don't have this
• 14:11
  Speaker 8: and that black people do have.
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: Well, here's where you and I have a different point
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: of view. I think we should be able to express
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: our views regardless of the color of our skin. We
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: should have this debate without me regarding you as a
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: black man, insulting that you regarding you here as a
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: fellow citizen.
• 14:22
  Speaker 9: You're going to hear whatever ethnicity you are explaining to
• 14:26
  Speaker 9: me what it's like to be black.
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: Whatever ethnicity. I'll tell you what I am. I'm an
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: Indian American. I'm proud of it. But I think we
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: should have this debate. Black white doesn't matter.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: I think we should have this content of the idea
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: to do it.
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: You should do it in an honest way and in
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: your way, and what you're doing is not an honest
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: and fair way.
• 14:41
  Speaker 9: We appreciate you coming.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: On with due respect.
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: Do I look forward to continuing that conversation.
• 14:44
  Speaker 9: Well, thank you the conversation.
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: Thank you so much.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Pop. We'll talk about China, yes, just talk
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: about China.
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: You come back, Oh, thank you much to say on
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: declaring independence from China.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Something you can die on that. Thank you, thank you. Okay,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: can we move on? Please? Can we move on? Please?
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: That's how he dismisses guests that he doesn't like. Now
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: that type of TV is something that maybe can work
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: late at night where Don Lemon used to have a show.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: But even when I dealt with Don Lemon worked with
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: him right. We would do debates together. I'm talking about
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: preident of debate nights. We would do campaign events together
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: and things like that where we would debate what was
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: going on. He wasn't that arrogant cocky where he would
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: just basically mock somebody. And because you didn't say what
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: he wanted you to say, he's like, all right, we're
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: going to move on.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: I'm done with you. It was terrible TV. It was terrible. TV.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Could get away with more of that late at night
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: when there's a lack of options, but in primetime morning,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: you have a lot of options, and a lot of
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: people just didn't want to see that type of arrogance
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: on TV. The other part about Don Lemon is is,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: you know, he always accuses everybody of racism and race
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: this and race that, and then he always accused other
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: people of lying. CNN Communications put out a tweet three
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: hours ago that said, quote Don Lemon's statement about this
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: morning's events is inaccurate.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: In other words, they're saying he's a liar.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Now, what's funny is it only took them what seventeen
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: years to fact check Don Lemon. How funny is that
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: now CNN's fact checking their own guy.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: They used to make up crap all the time.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: So now because they fired him, they're like, oh, we're
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: going to fact check the hell out of you.
• 16:21
  Speaker 10: Now.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: That is like the height of hypocrisy.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: But CNN's comms come out and said dun leman statement
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: about this morning's events is inaccurate. He was offered an
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: opportunity to meet with management, but instead of release his
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: statement on Twitter, so he wasn't fired through his agent
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: and not allowed to speak and talk to the people
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: that he worked with.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: They're saying no.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: An hour before that, CNN Comm's put out CNN and
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Donna part of ways. Donald will forever be a part
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: of the Cenan family, and we think it for his
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: contributions over the past seventeen years. We wish him well
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: and we'll be cheering him on his future endeavors. They
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: tried to basically do it the right way. Well, now
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: we know and again Don Leman's statement about this morning's events,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: So do Lemon gets fired from CNN and then Don
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Lemon lies in his first statement about CNN after being
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: fired from CNN.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: You can't make this up.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: What's also very interesting is what's going to be coming
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: to CNN on a weekly basis as there seem to
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: be changing and pivoting. Gail King is coming to CNN
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: starting this fall. The CBS Morning host will be co hosting,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: they say, a new weekly primetime show on CNN as
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: they're trying to change their brand significantly and guests who
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: she's going to be hosting it with. Listen to this
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: announcement from from CBS Morning News This morning, exciting news
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: about our very own here, and that's Gail King.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Starting in the fall, she'll be.
• 17:48
  Speaker 9: Co hosting a new weekly five time show on CNN
• 17:51
  Speaker 9: with any award winning sportscaster and NBA legend Charles Barkley
• 17:55
  Speaker 9: is going to.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Be called Genes. Do All announced their new gig on
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: ten He's NBA tip Off Saturday. Check it out.
• 18:04
  Speaker 9: I want it to be non political, just too well.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about policy, we will.
• 18:09
  Speaker 9: But we don't want to say we're a liberal exactly
• 18:12
  Speaker 9: conservative Republican Democrat. That's one of the things that's already
• 18:16
  Speaker 9: run television in general. And I know she's going to
• 18:19
  Speaker 9: be a straight shooter. You know, I'm going to be
• 18:21
  Speaker 9: a straight shooter.
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 18:22
  Speaker 11: I think that, you know, decorum and courtesy and kindness
• 18:25
  Speaker 11: always works. But everybody I know has an opinion about something.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: I just think we have to.
• 18:30
  Speaker 11: Figure out a way to have a good conversation without
• 18:32
  Speaker 11: tearing each other down.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: And I think that we can do that.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: You get rid of Don Lemon, who obviously is extremely polarizing,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: very hateful. You can see the way he just treat
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: that presidential candidate, and then you bring in Gail King,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: who's much more likable, in Charles Barkley, who I think
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: is absolutely hysterical, and you see this happen. It's going
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: to be interesting to see what their other moves are next.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: It's going to be very interesting to see how their
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: new moves change moving forward.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: As for Tiger Carlson, let me say this. I cannot
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: stand the fact that he's not going to be on
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Fox tonight. But what I do know is he's going
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: to be back. And every single time Tiger Carlson disappears,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: he always comes back bigger than he was the time before.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: So never forget that. Either A new poll.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Is out and I want to get into the politics
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: of the White House right now, as we're now expecting
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: that Joe Biden is going to officially announce that he
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: is running for President of the United States of America
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: for re election this week, as the poll numbers for
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: him are getting really bad. Do you want Biden to
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: run again in twenty twenty four? A new poll shows
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: seventy percent of Americans don't want Joe Biden to run again.
• 19:54
  Speaker 12: Might be an uphill battle regardless of the rollout. An
• 19:56
  Speaker 12: NBC News poll conducted just about a week ago showed
• 19:59
  Speaker 12: seventy percent of Americans don't want President Biden to run again,
• 20:03
  Speaker 12: including more than half of Democrats, and nearly half of
• 20:06
  Speaker 12: them list Biden's age as a major reason they don't
• 20:09
  Speaker 12: want him on the ticket forty eight percent for that
• 20:11
  Speaker 12: an additional twenty one percent list his age as a
• 20:14
  Speaker 12: minor factor. Even the New York Times Editorial Board is
• 20:17
  Speaker 12: pushing the White House to address the age concerns, noting
• 20:20
  Speaker 12: that Biden's usual response to that question is just watch me, writing,
• 20:24
  Speaker 12: but mister Biden has given voters very few chances to
• 20:27
  Speaker 12: do just that, To watch him, and his refusal to
• 20:30
  Speaker 12: engage with the public regularly raises questions about his age
• 20:33
  Speaker 12: and health. That up ed also driving home other reporting
• 20:36
  Speaker 12: that the President has held the fewest press conferences since
• 20:39
  Speaker 12: Nixon and still has not done a sit down with
• 20:41
  Speaker 12: a newspaper reporter. I remember the White House tried to
• 20:44
  Speaker 12: claim in Ireland that the President has taken more questions
• 20:48
  Speaker 12: than Obama and President Trump combined, but they had to
• 20:52
  Speaker 12: quietly correct the record on that. They adjusted the transcript
• 20:55
  Speaker 12: because it is in fact not true, Sandra.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: After they were fact checked by moemultiple media organizations, including
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: this one.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Jackie Heinrich, thank you very much so.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Fox News reporting now this new poll seventy percent of
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Americans don't want Biden to run again. That's exactly why
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: he has to announce now that he needs to run
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: before somebody else comes out and actually comes after him.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Now this also comes as there's more bad news for
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: the Biden family. James Comer was on TV earlier today
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: talking about the informant that told them about the evidence
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: about Joe Biden benefiting financially from the Biden family schemes.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Listened to what he had to say again on this informant.
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: Yes, one hundred percent. I'm just last one. At what point,
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: I mean, all these hell sees as you describe them,
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: and you know, all these special treasury accounts, and how
• 21:53
  Speaker 8: is it that these family members who are really not
• 21:56
  Speaker 8: business people at all, have these LLC's and are getting
• 21:59
  Speaker 8: money from China and Ukraine and wherever they're getting money from.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: It's really quite remarkable.
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: But my question to you is, at what point does
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: this go into the Oval office? At what point do
• 22:09
  Speaker 8: we find that there was a sharing of income from
• 22:13
  Speaker 8: these LLCs into the occupant of the Oval office, mister Biden.
• 22:19
  Speaker 10: Well, our informants have told us there is, in fact,
• 22:23
  Speaker 10: there will be evidence where it would point to Joe Biden.
• 22:27
  Speaker 10: There they had these family schemes that involve paying for
• 22:31
  Speaker 10: things that would involve Joe Biden. So we're going to
• 22:34
  Speaker 10: continue to dig. We're going to continue to track the money,
• 22:39
  Speaker 10: both the money coming into the Biden accounts and the
• 22:41
  Speaker 10: money going out.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Of the bidenccount.
• 22:42
  Speaker 10: So we've got confidence that the president was involved. Look,
• 22:47
  Speaker 10: obviously the President was involved in some form of fashion
• 22:50
  Speaker 10: because you don't have rank and file family members, just
• 22:53
  Speaker 10: average people off the street that are getting million dollar
• 22:57
  Speaker 10: wires from adversaries around the world, including the Chinese Communist Party.
• 23:00
  Speaker 10: So we know that from talking to the to the
• 23:05
  Speaker 10: informants that were involved in some of these schemes, that
• 23:08
  Speaker 10: Joe was directly involved, he had knowledge, and that we
• 23:11
  Speaker 10: do believe in fact he was getting financial benefit in
• 23:14
  Speaker 10: some areas from these family business schemes.
• 23:17
  Speaker 8: Chairman James Calmer appreciates your time.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, this informant has apparently told them a hell
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: of a lot, and not just told them, but apparently
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: has the goods to back it.
• 23:28
  Speaker 10: Up.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: He also went on to say that he believes that
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: the Biden family.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Looks like organized crime. So how will this works? Sir?
• 23:40
  Speaker 8: Will you have the whistleblower testify before your committee? And
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: let me ask, will you have you asked Mark Carland
• 23:48
  Speaker 8: testifying because you're putting them under oath, are you not?
• 23:53
  Speaker 10: Yeah, the whistleblower will testify or do a deposition with
• 23:57
  Speaker 10: the Housewaves and Meets Committee because they have jurisdiction over
• 24:00
  Speaker 10: the irs. Now, we're continuing to subpoena bank records, We're
• 24:05
  Speaker 10: continuing to follow the money. That's what our investigation is
• 24:07
  Speaker 10: all about. This is an investigation of Joe Biden. But
• 24:10
  Speaker 10: what we're finding is it deals with a lot more
• 24:13
  Speaker 10: than just the president's son and the president's brother. We
• 24:16
  Speaker 10: believe there are even more Biden family members that we
• 24:18
  Speaker 10: just haven't identified transactions yet. Look, we went into this
• 24:22
  Speaker 10: thinking that there were a handful of banks and a
• 24:26
  Speaker 10: handful of LLC's. But the number of banks, the number
• 24:29
  Speaker 10: of LLC's, the number of accounts, and the number of
• 24:32
  Speaker 10: Biden's continues to grow each week. So this is a
• 24:36
  Speaker 10: very complicated family scheme. You could say it looks like
• 24:40
  Speaker 10: organized crime, but because it's a Biden, it would be
• 24:43
  Speaker 10: disorganized crime, and we're going to get to the bottom
• 24:47
  Speaker 10: of this. Once we put together a trace of all
• 24:50
  Speaker 10: the different money, all the different accounts, and all the
• 24:53
  Speaker 10: different wires from the different adversaries around the world, then
• 24:56
  Speaker 10: we'll start bringing people in to testify, either in a
• 24:59
  Speaker 10: committee here.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Or in a deposition.
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: Family members. You're going to bring in family members.
• 25:05
  Speaker 10: Well, if they'll come, that's gonna be a lot harder.
• 25:07
  Speaker 10: But once we bring in all the different people that
• 25:10
  Speaker 10: were involved in these schemes outside family members, once we
• 25:13
  Speaker 10: have all the bank records showing the money that the
• 25:16
  Speaker 10: Bidens took in, then I don't think it'll it'll matter
• 25:19
  Speaker 10: whether the Bidens come or not. We're going to give
• 25:21
  Speaker 10: the Bidens an opportunity. There may be subpoenas for the Biden,
• 25:25
  Speaker 10: but at the end of the day, they're going to
• 25:26
  Speaker 10: have an opportunity to defend themselves. But you know, it's
• 25:29
  Speaker 10: going to be hard to defend the indefensible Larry, but
• 25:32
  Speaker 10: certainly they'll have their day in front of the House
• 25:35
  Speaker 10: Oversight Committee to explain what the purpose of all these
• 25:39
  Speaker 10: wires were, what the purpose of all these LLCs were,
• 25:42
  Speaker 10: and all these different bank accounts, and it's just it's
• 25:45
  Speaker 10: much bigger than what people can comprehend.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: It's much bigger than people can comprehend. You listen to
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Comer and the ways laying this out. There is no
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: option for this president anymore but to come out and
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: immediately say I'm running for president, because otherwise the media
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: is going to start dealing with this representative. Comer also said,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: very few third world countries would allow their leaders to
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: get away with the things that the Biden family has
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: gotten away with. This is this new accusation.
• 26:15
  Speaker 8: Listen, so let me just begin with Merrek Garland slow walking.
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: That apparently is what the whistleblower is saying, even though
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: they don't want the whistleblower to testify.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: I regard that as the dirty trick.
• 26:27
  Speaker 8: What's your take on it, sir?
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: It is a dirty trick.
• 26:31
  Speaker 10: I mean, if you look at the evidence of what
• 26:34
  Speaker 10: all the Biden family has gotten away with thus far,
• 26:38
  Speaker 10: there are very few third world countries that would allow
• 26:40
  Speaker 10: their leaders to get away with the things that the
• 26:43
  Speaker 10: Biden family has.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Gotten away with.
• 26:44
  Speaker 10: I don't think that Attorney General Garland evergreen that Republicans
• 26:50
  Speaker 10: of the House Oversight Committee would have access to those
• 26:53
  Speaker 10: bank violations at the Treasury crabt much less bank records
• 26:57
  Speaker 10: that show all the different schemes that the Biden family
• 27:01
  Speaker 10: had with respect to countless LLCs transferring money from one
• 27:06
  Speaker 10: account to the other, to try, in my opinion, to
• 27:09
  Speaker 10: hide the source of where the foreign wires were coming from,
• 27:12
  Speaker 10: and then to deceive the IRS about the tax ability
• 27:17
  Speaker 10: of those direct deposits from our adversaries around the world.
• 27:22
  Speaker 10: One thing that I think Merrick Garland is going to
• 27:25
  Speaker 10: have to deal with with all this is it's not
• 27:28
  Speaker 10: just the president's son. It's not just the president's son
• 27:31
  Speaker 10: and the president's brother, it's the entire family. We've been
• 27:35
  Speaker 10: very transparent about the fact that we've now determined nine
• 27:39
  Speaker 10: Biden family members got suspicious wires from our adversaries around
• 27:44
  Speaker 10: the world. We went in thinking they were around a
• 27:47
  Speaker 10: dozen LLCs. Now we see that there are you know,
• 27:50
  Speaker 10: you know, many many more llc. So this is a
• 27:54
  Speaker 10: very complicated case, and I think that Merrick Garland was
• 27:57
  Speaker 10: just hoping it would go away, the media would continue
• 27:59
  Speaker 10: to a blind eye, and Republican investigators would never find
• 28:02
  Speaker 10: anything out about this.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you just think about what he just
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: said there about the third world countries wouldn't even let
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: their leaders get away with us, and many many more LLCs.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: And we've got nine Biden family members who are on
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: the take. Nine is a lot, folks, sound a little.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Nine is a lot, I mean nine is a hell
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: of a lot of people that are on the take
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: here from the Biden crime family. And this is all
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: their family members making money off of trading off of
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: his name. If you just look at that alone by
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: itself and you see what he's saying, there is clearly
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: hell to pay for this one on this one. Look,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep covering this. Make sure you hit that
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: subscriber auto down with button. Please share a podcast on
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: social media, and if there's news that breaks before the
