WEBVTT - 2020’s Most Embarrassing Mainstream Media Moments 0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:14.160 The following is a prerecorded program. This is the Buck 0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:17.560 Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode 0:00:17.560 --> 0:00:24.560 what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, bring 0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:29.200 You're a great American Again. The Buck Sexton Show begins. 0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:35.520 Analyst Remember he's a great guy. Seton now. Yes, yes, yes, 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:38.320 it is the Buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelka sitting in 0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:42.440 for my friend Buck Sexton. The Godfather is back. I'm 0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:44.320 happy to be here, thrilled to be here. It's been 0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:47.760 a while, but I'm back and I'm excited. It's Christmas 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:51.280 Eve Eve. It's just a couple of days before Christmas 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:56.480 in the weirdest year ever, literally the weirdest year ever. 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:58.920 I'm gonna try and get to as much as i 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:03.120 can as it relates to the weirdest year, plus some 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:07.560 information about the vaccine with my buddy doctor Michael Royson 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:11.360 from the Cleveland Clinic. We have our friend Tracy Beans 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:16.280 from Uncovered DC popping in and I have some questions 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:20.440 about the law as well as questions about the law 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.080 and how it relates to the vaccine. So we'll get 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:26.760 the opinion of my buddy attorney Wendy Patrick, and maybe 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:30.760 a couple other surprises. The big news was about twenty 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:36.000 four hours ago when the President dropped the hammer on Congress. 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:39.399 The President came out and told the House and the 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:43.320 Senate how he felt about their COVID relief bill, and 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:46.920 I thought it was fabulous. It really is a disgrace. 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:51.040 It's called the COVID Relief Bill, but it has almost 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:55.800 nothing to do with COVID. Yeah, almost nothing, almost nothing 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:57.880 to do with COVID, especially when you look at the 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:02.360 pittance that was being for to the American people and 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:06.760 the President was not having it. Nine hundred billion dollar 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:11.560 package provides hard working taxpayers with only six hundred dollars 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:15.000 each in relief payments, and not enough body is given 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:18.720 to small businesses, not enough, not even close to enough. 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:22.079 And all the pork projects that were shoved in there, 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:26.680 all the little ornaments, all the little presents shoved under 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:30.720 this Christmas tree of a bill. It really was disgusting 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:34.160 to me, and I'm glad the President made a point 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:37.680 of telling Congress exactly how he felt. I am asking 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:41.400 Congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:46.560 six hundred dollars to two thousand dollars or four thousand 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:51.079 dollars for a couple, And of course Nancy Pelosi and 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:55.560 Chuck Schumer and AOC and the squad all stood up 0:02:55.600 --> 0:03:00.560 and cheered and said, yes, he's come over to our side. No, 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.840 he didn't come over to your side. What the President 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:06.000 did was he came over to the side of the 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:10.800 American people. Decide. He's been on forever. The President said, 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:13.520 he wants you to get rid of all the crap 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:17.959 in that bill, all the garbage, the pork, the ornaments, 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:22.000 the presence under the tree. I'm also asking Congress to 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:26.160 immediately get rid of the wasteful and unnecessary items from 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:30.520 this legislation and to send me a suitable bill or 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.720 else the next administration will have to deliver a COVID 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:39.960 relief package. And maybe that administration will be me. Maybe maybe, 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:43.040 I sure hope. So I'm still holding out hope that 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:47.240 Donald Trump will pull out this last minute Hail Mary, 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:49.760 and it looks like it's going to have to happen 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:53.120 on January sixth. But we'll talk to Tracy Beans of 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:56.600 Uncovered DC about that. She's keeping an eye on all 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:04.120 of the legal maneuvering around the last ditch attempts to 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.400 point out the election fraud that so many of us 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:11.880 believe happened on a wholesale level in that November third election. 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:15.760 By the way back to this bill, even a Democrat 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:19.880 like Tulsey Gabbard thought the six hundred bucks was a 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:24.400 slap in the face to the American people. Six hundred 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:30.480 bucks I'll tell you in Hawaii that in most cases 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:35.800 won't even cover twenty five percent of your rent. It 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.200 is an insult and a slap in the face to 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.200 every single American in this country who is struggling because 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:46.839 of this COVID pandemic. It is it's an insult, and 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:50.760 I'm glad that both Democrats and Republicans are standing up 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:55.719 and saying that it's an insult. More importantly, I'm glad 0:04:55.720 --> 0:05:01.120 that people are pointing out that in this difficult time, 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:06.920 we don't need ridiculous programs like the ones that they're 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.240 funding in different parts of the world. The millions to 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:14.680 rebuild a boat in Sri Lanka. The half a billion 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:20.320 dollars going to study the immigration problem in Central America. Gee, 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:25.520 why would people leave those countries and come to America? Oh, 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:29.880 I don't know. Maybe because you propose bills that will 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:34.240 also allow people here illegally to get checks from the government, 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:38.839 to get a check from me and from you. Maybe 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:42.159 that's why they're now give me the five hundred million 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:46.240 dollars to study the problem with immigration coming from Central America. Yeah, 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.720 that's an easy one. That's a no brainer. People, I 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:54.360 don't understand these people. They're insane. They're insane. Now, spending 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:57.080 is a big deal. Rand Paul put out the Festivus 0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:00.640 Report today because in fact, it is Festivalus holiday for 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:04.599 the rest of us, and he points out a lot 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.159 of waste, fraud, and abuse. But you know, in this 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:11.240 spending bill, there's just so much. Now Runt Paul is 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:16.839 against giving checks to the American people. I'm saying, it's 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.920 okay as long as we have told them they can't 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.479 go to work. If the government has said you have 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:26.599 to shut down your business because of public health, then 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:30.080 we the people, the rest of the people have to 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:34.240 help out those folks. That's exactly how that works. But 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:36.800 Rand Paul was not very happy about some of the 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:42.039 proposals of giving money to people in this relief bill. 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:45.440 To so called conservatives who are quick to identify the 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:50.520 socialism of Democrats, if you vote for this spending montrosity, 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.600 you are no better. When you vote to pass out 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:58.239 free money, you lose your soul and you abandon forever 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:03.800 any semblance of moral or fiscal integrity. Now I understand 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:06.839 what he's saying, but we're not exactly voting to pass 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:11.920 out free money. He's not going quietly though. If free 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:16.000 money were the answer, if money really grew on trees, 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.240 why not give more free money? Why not give it 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:22.720 out all the time? Why stop at six hundred dollars 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:26.480 a person, Why not a thousand dollars? Why not two 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:31.720 thousand dollars? Maybe these new free money Republicans should join 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:36.200 thee everybody gets a guaranteed income caucus. I'm not for 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.960 guaranteed basic income. I'm not supporting that, not at all, 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.000 not in the least. I don't think that's a wise idea. 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.960 But I do go back to my original argument that 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:51.760 if the government tells you shut your business, then the government, 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:57.119 we the people, all of us have to help temporarily, 0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:59.640 but we also have to get the country back on 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.640 its feet, in the country open again. Now the problem 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:05.600 here is these bills are so stuffed with all this 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:09.600 other garbage, and Mitch McConnell promised us that these bills 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:13.960 would be smarter, leaner targeted. Didn't you metch No sprawling 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:18.800 left wing wish lest no unconstrained bailouts for state and 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:24.280 local government with no connection to COVID age, just smart 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:31.280 targeted bipartisan policies. I'm not so sure about all of that. 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:34.760 I look at some of the some of the pork 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:38.319 in this bill, in both these bills, and I don't 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:43.640 know how much is it qualifying actually for smart targeted relief. 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:48.720 It's bipartisan as long as those people want to get reelected. 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.560 That's what that's all about. We have so much to 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:55.360 get to today, so many, so many different things to 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:58.920 get to, including the fact that Joe Biden still is 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:03.120 really not answer in questions about his kid, nothing about Hunter. 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:07.400 And I feel sorry for the Doocey kid over at 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:11.720 Fox who has been stationed outside of Joe Biden's office, 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:15.760 outside of Joe Biden's home, outside of the the Center 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:19.520 on the waterfront Wilmington, Delaware, and he's constantly shouting his 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:26.160 questions only to be rebuffed. And yesterday Peter Deucy shouted 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:31.000 at Joe Biden and asked about Hunter and if if 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:35.520 Joe Biden believes in fact that Hunter Biden and the 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:41.600 stories about him are just Russian disinformation. The answer is 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:56.599 just astounding. Yes, yes, yes, man, You're a one horse pony. 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:01.760 Thank you, thank you. I promise you my justice apart 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:05.160 will be totally on its own making his judgments about 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:09.680 how Now there's a couple of interesting things there and 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.360 a couple of crazy things there because Joe Biden said 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.680 something really ridiculous there. But he did say that he 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:21.600 still believes that all of the allegations about Hunter our 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:27.880 Russian disinformation. He still believes that, and maybe that's because 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:31.480 he watches MSNBC or CNN. And well, we will get 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:35.599 to the media shame for twenty twenty because there is 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:37.800 just so much media shame to go around. I've got 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:39.680 some of the greatest clips of the year, my top 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:44.839 ten moments of media shame this year. But what in 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:50.600 the heck was Joe Biden saying to Peter Doocey, God Love, 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:59.000 God Love you man, You're a one horse pony. What 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:03.680 does that even? God love you man, You're a one 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:07.960 horse pony. I think he meant to go back to 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:12.240 the other insult that he had, you're a dog faced 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:14.960 pony soldier, and he said that to a young lady 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.240 I think it was in Iowa when he asked her 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:19.320 if she'd ever been to a caucus before, and she 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:22.360 said yes, and he called her a liar and said 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:27.680 she was a dog faced pony soldier. Which I'm wondering 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:31.160 if a dog faced pony soldier is any different than 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:38.240 what you're a one horse pony as opposed to a 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:42.480 two horse pony or a multi I don't understand it. 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.080 All right. I'm going to step aside for a moment. 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:47.640 It's Michael Pelka in for my buddy buck Sexton on 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:51.080 the buck Sexton Show. A lot to get to tonight, Yes, 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:56.160 a lot to get to tonight, including the most horrific 0:11:56.559 --> 0:12:01.079 embarrassing moments from the media in twenty twenty. We'll get 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:03.839 to it just around the corner on the buck Sexton Show. 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:18.240 Thanks for listening to The bus Sexton Show podcasts. Remember 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:22.079 to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:45.720 you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the buck Sexton Show. 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.319 Michael Pelka sitting in for my friend Buck Sexton and 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:50.840 happy to be here, thrilled to be here. Hope you 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:53.600 and yours are having a great end of the year. 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:57.240 I know it's a strange year, maybe the weirdest year ever, 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:01.000 but we have to make good happen when we can, 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:03.720 and I'm trying to have a little fun tonight as 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:06.840 well as cover the news of the day. For example, 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:10.320 I want to poke fun at the mainstream media. Who doesn't. 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:13.920 It's just such a wonderful sport and there are so 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:18.360 many opportunities to do so. This year, the mainstream media 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:24.800 lost its mind. Trumped arrangement syndrome took over MSNBC, CNN 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:29.800 just totally swamped by the trump't arrangement syndrome, the hatred 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:33.959 of the president, ninety plus percent negative in terms of 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:37.680 story content, and then we find out that so much 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.520 of it was made up, so much of it was 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:45.360 Bravo Sierra. So with the help of Tom Elliott over 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:48.080 at Grabean, a company that puts together a lot of 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:51.720 clips from the news, I have gathered what I consider 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:58.560 ten of the most egregious media moments from the past year. 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:03.440 Ten moments from the mainstream media that actually should be 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:06.840 in the Hall of Shame for twenty twenty and maybe 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:10.400 for all eternity. We might need longer than we have 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:13.760 tonight to get through all of this. Number ten comes 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:19.120 in with the January moment. We started off the year 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:22.240 with Donald Trump doing something amazing. The commander in chief 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:27.720 authorized the death, the killing, the execution of a terrorist, 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:32.400 a guy who has American blood on his hands, Costumed Sulimani. 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:39.120 Remember that guy, Yeah, we killed him, graveyard dead. And 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:43.680 yet the mainstream media, well, they wanted to make this 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:46.960 guy a hero. They wanted to make him to be 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:50.160 some kind of a martyr. This actually went out over 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:54.920 the airwaves. Consum Sulimani was no ordinary general. The US 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:58.080 officially classified him as a terrorist, but in Iran he 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:01.440 was a national hero. He was a hero. He's regarded 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.560 as personally incredibly brave. The troops love him. I was 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:06.440 trying to think of somebody. I was thinking him to Gaul, 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:11.360 a smart, charismatic, ruthless, strategic and bold. His power made 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:15.960 a running's proud and apparently his power made CNN and 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:21.080 MSNBC proud too. They love the guy. They called him 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:26.800 a scholar, a hero. Yeah, Anderson Cooper compared to Charles 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:34.080 de Gaul. It's embarrassing. And only more embarrassing was the 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:39.040 way that MSNBC and CNN treated the impeachment of the president, 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:42.440 which happened just a few weeks later. So, Donald Trump's 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:47.560 busy paying attention to the coronavirus which is breaking out 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:53.160 in China, and he's starting the Defense Production Act with 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:57.800 initiating Operation Warp Speed, which got us to the vaccine 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:01.320 which is currently being put into the arms of Americans 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:07.920 at an amazing rate, already eight months after he authorized it. 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:12.560 Not four years, eight months, just amazing. But no, the 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:16.360 mainstream media was all caught up on the houses crazy 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:19.800 impeachment of the president, and they wanted to make that 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:26.600 impeachment into a religious event, a sacred event. You're watching 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:29.720 CNN special life coverage of what can only be described 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:33.120 as an historic It will be a busy historic day. 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:35.120 It was an historic day on Capitol Hill. This is 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:38.480 a historic day here in the nation's capital. Historic day 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:42.560 or another or another historic day. Yeah, this is history unfolding. 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:46.760 There's a sacramental quality of this. There's a there's a ritual. 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:49.520 I'm so glad Chris used the word ritual, just the 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:54.440 ceremony of it, walking over delivering the articles of impeachment. 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:56.960 There is something almost religious to it. I think there's 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:59.840 also something about the sort of the excommunication aspect of 0:16:59.880 --> 0:17:02.760 the thing that French and the French Revolution. I did 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:06.080 the guy getting his head taken off here the drum roll? 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:10.879 Why is there a drum roll? So MSNBC and CNN 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:13.919 looked at the impeachment of the president, even though it 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:17.040 was based on a false premise on a phone call, 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:21.320 it was definitely partisan. MSNBC and CNN looked at this 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:25.439 as a religious moment, and for them, I guess it 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:30.880 is because they have replaced God with government, so when 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:34.919 the government does something this big, it's a religious moment 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:37.760 to them. I thought it was really kind of odd 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:41.520 and creepy, which is kind of how I described Chris Matthews, 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:45.280 even though he's not around TV anymore, odd and creepy. 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:50.879 That Matthews, the former altar boy at an insane asylum 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:54.160 when he was kid. That Chris Matthews talked about this 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:58.639 in terms of a religious event and then also talked 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:05.199 about beheading. So in his mind, this was an excommunication 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:08.960 of Donald Trump. And I'm not sure what kind of 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:12.240 fever dream he was having that would lead him to 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:17.040 believe that a beheading would follow the impeachment of a president. 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:20.639 But that was a sign of maybe dumber things to 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:24.840 come from Chris Matthews because he has another addition to 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:29.639 the countdown of the top ten media shameful moments of 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:33.600 twenty twenty. I have so many more to go. Oh yeah, 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:35.720 we're going to get to them all, so I have 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:38.560 to take a break. When we come back, I will 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:44.159 play you number eight. And oddly enough, it involves MSNBC again. 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:48.080 This time though they're not going after Donald Trump. They 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:51.880 were feeding on one of their own, which is kind 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:54.640 of what they do all the time. Once they run 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:58.720 out of Republicans, they go after their own. We'll continue 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:01.000 here on the Buck Sex and Show with me Michael 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:11.600 Pelca sitting in for my friend Buck Sexton.

Buck Sexton 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:49.560 is back. Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. Michael 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:53.600 Pelca sitting in for my friend Buck Sexton. Happy Christmas, Eve. 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:55.960 Eve will be saying that all night. Just two days 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:59.040 away from Christmas and we're in the middle of doing 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:01.439 something that's a little bit of fun. We're having some 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:04.040 fun with the media. I'd like to point out when 0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:06.920 the mainstream media is totally off base, and they've been 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:11.200 totally off base for so long, it's just insane, and 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:15.720 some of the insanity deserves special recognition, and that's what 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:18.719 we're doing here tonight. It's the Media Hall of Shame. 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:23.679 My top ten most shameful moments from the mainstream media 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:27.639 in twenty twenty. And I'm not even talking about the 0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:31.040 way they called the election because that was just expected. 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:34.359 But you know, we're counting backwards from number ten to 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:39.400 number one. Coming in at number seven is a mainstream 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:46.480 media blunder from MSNBC. And this was unusual because MSNBC 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:50.040 did something we've only seen a few times before. They 0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:53.880 attacked one of their own. Yes, they went after one 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:57.080 of their own because one of their own, a Democrat, 0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:02.040 was threatening to upend the party's plans for who they 0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:06.480 wanted to become the nominee. And they couldn't stop Mike 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:10.080 Bloomberg from spending money, so they can only mock him. 0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:13.760 But in their efforts to mock him, they used what 0:21:13.960 --> 0:21:18.920 could probably best be described as common core math. Math 0:21:19.000 --> 0:21:21.640 that just gives you a grade because you made an effort. 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:28.240 This happened on MSNBC's Eleventh Hour with Brian Williams. The 0:21:28.320 --> 0:21:30.520 guy used to be the top of the network news 0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:33.680 anchors until he put himself in a bunch of stories 0:21:33.680 --> 0:21:39.080 that he was not in and conflated his history. And 0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:43.960 so he's now relegated to the eleventh Hour on MSNBC 0:21:44.640 --> 0:21:47.760 on a second or third rate cable channel. But this 0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:52.680 actually happened. They went after Mike Bloomberg. Somebody tweeted recently 0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:54.879 that actually, with the money he's spent, he could have 0:21:54.920 --> 0:21:57.680 given every American a million dollars. Got it. Let's put 0:21:57.720 --> 0:22:00.920 it up as great Bloomberg spend five million, adds US 0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:04.239 population three hundred and twenty seven million. Don't tell us 0:22:04.240 --> 0:22:05.800 if you're ahead of us on the math, he could 0:22:05.800 --> 0:22:10.160 have given each American one million dollars and I've had 0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:13.679 lunch money left over. It's an incredible way of putting it. 0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:18.520 It's an incredible way of putting it. It's true. It's disturbing. No, 0:22:18.880 --> 0:22:23.520 it's not true. What is disturbing is you bobos didn't 0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:26.919 do the math. Nobody checked the facts, Nobody put that 0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:30.520 in their Bomar brain calculator to see if the numbers 0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:33.840 added up. It's not even close. If you have three 0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:36.919 hundred and thirty million dollars and you give everybody a 0:22:37.000 --> 0:22:42.520 million dollars, it's not thirty two billion or whatever Bloomberg 0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:45.159 has in the bank. It's well beyond that. We're getting 0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:51.040 into the trillions. People. But NBC and MSNBC, we're not 0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:56.000 the worst. Those titles of being the worst the most 0:22:56.080 --> 0:23:01.239 embarrassing media outlet this year, well seeing an MSNBC might 0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:06.959 share the awards. Equally bad In seventh place was the 0:23:07.000 --> 0:23:11.679 mainstream media's coverage of the pandemic in the very early 0:23:11.800 --> 0:23:18.000 days the pandemic, initially because Donald Trump was paying attention 0:23:18.040 --> 0:23:23.600 to it, because Donald Trump was blocking air travel from Wuhan. 0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:28.680 Remember we set up the blockade, the ban of air 0:23:28.680 --> 0:23:34.040 travel from China, and Joe Biden called Donald Trump a xenophope, 0:23:34.720 --> 0:23:39.040 a racist, and Nancy Pelosi and Bill Deblasia, we're telling 0:23:39.119 --> 0:23:42.720 people you got to go to Chinatown and eat. And 0:23:43.640 --> 0:23:50.240 meanwhile the mainstream media was telling everybody that this pandemic, 0:23:50.960 --> 0:23:55.000 this coronavirus, was not a problem. How each should Americans 0:23:55.040 --> 0:23:58.399 be about coronavirus coronavirus is not going to cause a 0:23:58.440 --> 0:24:01.720 major is the United States? How worried should the average 0:24:01.720 --> 0:24:05.880 American be given these flu numbers when it comes to coronavirus? Right, 0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:08.600 so the risk in this country is still deemed to 0:24:08.640 --> 0:24:10.960 be low. Okay, that is the risk. You know, the flu, 0:24:11.320 --> 0:24:14.240 it's already widespread in the US, and it really as 0:24:14.320 --> 0:24:17.919 much more deadly, is it not? How worried should Americans be? 0:24:18.040 --> 0:24:21.639 Should they panic? No, Americans do not need to panic. 0:24:21.920 --> 0:24:23.959 There's an important context we need to keep this in, 0:24:24.000 --> 0:24:29.640 and that is that the flu is more deadly. Yeah. Yeah, 0:24:29.680 --> 0:24:33.320 So that's what they were all saying, CNN, MSNBC, all 0:24:33.320 --> 0:24:37.760 telling us that we didn't need to worry about the coronavirus, 0:24:38.800 --> 0:24:41.480 that the flu was more deadly, that anyone who was 0:24:41.520 --> 0:24:46.720 actually worried about a flu coming out of China was 0:24:46.840 --> 0:24:52.879 probably racist. You were a bad person. And then fast 0:24:52.960 --> 0:24:56.600 forward just a couple of days later, maybe a week 0:24:56.680 --> 0:25:00.600 or two later, and suddenly, because the word old Health 0:25:00.760 --> 0:25:04.440 Organization a really bad group of people in bed with 0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:07.760 China doing everything China told them to do, the World 0:25:07.800 --> 0:25:10.439 Health Organization went, hold on a second, we got a 0:25:10.480 --> 0:25:15.119 pandemic here, we got a pandemic. We better mock Donald Trump. 0:25:15.960 --> 0:25:20.760 And so coming in at number six, the pandemic is 0:25:20.800 --> 0:25:23.919 now a problem. So actually the virus has become more 0:25:24.000 --> 0:25:27.800 dangerous because it can infect more people. It's more easily 0:25:28.240 --> 0:25:30.720 able to take root into communities. So it's changing in 0:25:30.760 --> 0:25:34.160 a worse way. This is going to be catastrophe, Bond catastrophe. 0:25:34.480 --> 0:25:37.680 And Trump wrote on Twitter, don't be afraid of COVID, 0:25:37.680 --> 0:25:39.640 don't let it dominate your life. What does that mean? 0:25:39.680 --> 0:25:42.719 Don't be afraid of it? Everyone should be afraid of COVID. 0:25:42.840 --> 0:25:46.199 Oh my goodness, Nicole. When I saw that Trump, I 0:25:46.200 --> 0:25:50.439 mean I literally was overwhelmed. If the White House and 0:25:50.480 --> 0:25:52.840 their calculation this is about trying to instill a sense 0:25:52.880 --> 0:25:55.639 of normalcy, then we all know that life can't really 0:25:55.680 --> 0:25:58.360 feel like it's back to normal. It can't feel Americans 0:25:58.400 --> 0:26:00.760 can't feel that they have the virus us under control. 0:26:00.880 --> 0:26:04.359 We have absolutely zero chance, and by zero chance, I 0:26:04.359 --> 0:26:09.440 mean zero, zero, zero chance of moving past us with 0:26:09.640 --> 0:26:14.760 noneld Trump in that job. Yes, yes, the shameful media 0:26:14.960 --> 0:26:21.560 turning from don't worry about coronavirus to the coronavirus is 0:26:21.600 --> 0:26:26.639 the worst thing ever. And Donald Trump is to blame 0:26:27.400 --> 0:26:31.359 That's exactly how they spun it, and they continue to 0:26:31.400 --> 0:26:36.240 put it that way. CNN today constantly running its body count. 0:26:36.800 --> 0:26:40.600 These ghouls at CNN cannot get past this, even though 0:26:40.680 --> 0:26:44.520 we're getting reports out of places like Denver, Colorado, where 0:26:44.840 --> 0:26:48.880 two people were shot and died and they were listed 0:26:48.920 --> 0:26:56.200 as COVID deaths. It's just amazing, just absolutely amazing. Coming 0:26:56.240 --> 0:27:02.680 in at number five is the mysterious peaceful protests. Remember 0:27:02.720 --> 0:27:05.160 all the people who were burning and looting. We had 0:27:05.200 --> 0:27:07.920 a what was it about? Oh? I guess it was 0:27:07.960 --> 0:27:11.480 about a billion dollars in damage in Minneapolis after the 0:27:11.520 --> 0:27:16.080 George Floyd killing. Horrible killing, by the way, but no 0:27:16.160 --> 0:27:19.040 reason to burn down your town and destroy businesses and 0:27:19.119 --> 0:27:21.359 people had nothing to do with it. But it was 0:27:21.400 --> 0:27:26.639 a peaceful protest, wasn't it. Wasn't it mainstream media, that 0:27:26.720 --> 0:27:29.400 ain't a riot what we're seeing right now in Minneapolo Broke, 0:27:29.480 --> 0:27:32.080 I think this is a march. Really, as they're coming off, 0:27:32.680 --> 0:27:36.800 it's peaceful, they're saying, peaceful protest. People are risking COVID 0:27:37.480 --> 0:27:41.320 to explain to this country that work fed up goodness 0:27:41.359 --> 0:27:44.040 for the looters man. Any reasonable person would say we 0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:46.760 shouldn't be destroying other people's property. But these are not 0:27:46.880 --> 0:27:50.160 reasonable times. Please show me where it says the protests 0:27:50.160 --> 0:27:53.399 are supposed to be polite and peaceful. I'll tell you 0:27:53.400 --> 0:27:55.920 where it says that. I'll tell you where it says 0:27:55.960 --> 0:28:01.120 that mister Cuomo, the lesser Cuomo one nn it says 0:28:01.119 --> 0:28:05.120 that in the First Amendment, peaceful protest is there. It's 0:28:05.400 --> 0:28:08.960 it's not violent protests that you guys call peaceful. And meanwhile, 0:28:09.160 --> 0:28:15.360 in the background of many of those shots were burning stores, fires, looting, 0:28:15.520 --> 0:28:17.280 all of that stuff. But you guys go ahead and 0:28:17.400 --> 0:28:21.040 keep calling it a peaceful protest. You're as confused about 0:28:21.119 --> 0:28:27.840 that as you are about what happened with NASCAR, aren't you? 0:28:27.840 --> 0:28:36.000
