On Wednesday night, Fox News’ Tucker Carlson showed exclusive footage of New York police expressing their frustration over secret flights carrying illegal immigrants from the southern border to towns in their state. Carlson also showed footage of a government contractor being asked the reason for the secrecy and answering, “You know why. Look who’s in charge,” then asserting, “The government is betraying the American people.”
Carlson began, “So we’ve obtained exclusive bodycam footage from the police department in Westchester County, New York. The footage shows 100 apparently illegal immigrants, mostly teenagers, getting off a charter flight in the middle of the night in Westchester. The migrants then get on buses.  Someone on the tape describes how ‘DHS wants this on the low-down.’ In other words, secret, so you won’t know about it, despite the fact that you are a U.S. citizen who’s paying for it. They’re hiding it from you; they’re doing this without your consent, speaking of an attack on democracy.”
“In the footage, Westchester police express their frustration with what’s happening,” Carlson said as he introduced the footage.
The footage showed a policeman saying, “You trying to figure out what this is?” The reporter answers, “Yeah.” The policeman responds, “Good luck with that.” Reporter, “Yeah.” Policeman: “You’re on a secure facility here and we really don’t know anything and we’re in charge of security. So, hence we’re having a problem here.” Another policeman, “We’re hanging out here on the tarmac. I used to pick up basketball teams that had more security than this.”
“Now just to be completely clear, what you just saw is illegal,” Carlson charged. “That’s a crime. That’s why they’re keeping it secret. The U.S. government is not allowed to abet the breaking of federal law. Sorry. And that’s exactly what they’re doing.”
Carlson then played footage of a government contractor explaining that the flights of illegal immigrants arrived at smaller airports to keep them hidden from the public. The contractor stated, “You don’t want to be in somewhere the spotlight is there. You want to be as down-low as possible. &#8230; A lot of this is just down-low stuff that we don’t tell people because what we don’t want to do is attract attention; we don’t want the media. Like, we don’t even know where we’re going when they tell us.”
“Oh, so just changing the population of your country, the one you were born in, but keeping it secret from you and then attacking you as some kind of a bigot if you notice it: that’s the game,” Carlson commented. “Have you figured it out yet?”
Then Carlson played a clip of another contractor saying, “I get the whole secrecy and all that s*** but this is even above my f***ing pay grade. You know what I mean? Like s***, what the f***? You know what I mean?”
A reporter asks, “And why? You know why?”
The contractor answers, “You know why. Look who’s in office. That’s why. Come on.”
Reporter: “No, but what’s the big secret? Everybody knows it’s happening.”
Contractor: “You know why? Because if this gets out, the government is betraying the American people.”
Rob Astorino, a Westchester County executive who is running for governor of New York and obtained the bodycam footage through a FOIA request, told Carlson. “I saw with my own eyes, after they denied it, by the way, that they were put onto a bus to Costco and then released into cars into the community. Now they keep saying it’s just unaccompanied kids: completely a lie. And that these kids were not going to go into our own area. Completely a lie. They’re putting them into schools in Westchester, long Island, surrounding suburbs.”

Tucker Carlson

Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Thursday evening called Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh a &#8220;cringing little liberal&#8221; after Kavanaugh sided with the liberal justices to uphold a health care vaccine mandate.
As <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/tucker-carlson-calls-brett-kavanaugh-a-cringing-little-liberal">highlighted</a> by the Washington Examiner, Trump-appointed Kavanaugh and Chief Justice John Roberts joined the three liberal justices on the court to allow a vaccine mandate for medical facilities that take Medicare or Medicaid payments.
Speaking about the ruling with attorney Harmeet Dhillon, who represented The Daily Wire in the fight against the Biden administration, Carlson chimed in, &#8220;With no help from Brett Kavanaugh, I notice. Cringing little liberal.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Though Kavanaugh sided with the liberals on the health care mandate, he joined the conservatives to successfully block a Biden administration mandate that would have forced private businesses with at least 100 employees to require workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or submit to regular testing.
“OSHA’s COVID–19 Vaccination and Testing; Emergency Temporary Standard, 86 Fed. Reg. 61402, is stayed pending disposition of the applicants’ petitions for review in the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and disposition of the applicants’ petitions for writs of certiorari, if such writs are timely sought,&#8221; the court decided. &#8220;Should the petitions for writs of certiorari be denied, this order shall terminate automatically. In the event the petitions for writs of certiorari are granted, the order shall terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court.&#8221;
Notably, conservatives rallied around Justice Kavanaugh in 2018 when Christine Blasey Ford told Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) in a letter that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a house party when the pair were teenagers, sometime in the early 1980s. Ford could not recall key details about the alleged attack.
The dubious claim was uncorroborated, and the Senate Judiciary Committee ultimately found that there was “no evidence to substantiate any of the claims.”
“In neither the committee’s investigation nor in the supplemental background investigation conducted by the FBI was there ANY evidence to substantiate or corroborate any of the allegations,” the Committee <a href="https://twitter.com/senjudiciary/status/1058895253892063232?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1058895253892063232&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fthehill.com%2Fhomenews%2Fsenate%2F414792-senate-judiciary-committee-releases-report-on-kavanaugh-finds-no-support-for">said</a>.
Other conservatives voiced frustration with Kavanaugh over the vaccine mandate, too.
&#8220;I despise Brett Kavanaugh. We should have left him for the wolves. Freaking loser,&#8221; radio host Jesse Kelly commented.

Fox News Host Tucker Carlson Appears At National Review Ideas Summit

‘Cringing Little Liberal’: Tucker Carlson Slams Brett Kavanaugh For Upholding Health Care Vax Mandate

Brett Kavanaugh

On Tuesday, Fox News host Tucker Carlson took aim at Dr. Anthony Fauci, calling him a “filthy little demagogue” after Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) had confronted Fauci earlier in the day at a Senate hearing.
Carlson began, “Turns out, Tony Fauci’s even more loathsome and complicit even than his toughest critics ever alleged. Today, two Republican congressmen, James Comer and Jim Jordan, released emails that show Fauci was warned by scientists at the very beginning of the Corona pandemic this virus very likely leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. That’s the same lab where a Fauci agency was funding gain-of-function research.”
Carlson cited a letter from House Oversight Committee Republicans which stated, “On February 1, 2020, Dr. Fauci, Dr. Collins, and at least 11 other scientists convened a conference call to discuss Covid 19. &#8230; It was on this conference call that Drs. Fauci &amp; Collins were first warned that Covid 19 may have leaked from the WIV &amp;, further, may have been intentionally genetically manipulated.”
“So that’s news,” Carlson commented sardonically. “By the way, that was a year before it became the common view of the origin of Covid. During that year, anyone who raised the question was denounced as a racist. Anti-Asian or something. But it turned out to be very likely true.”
Then he turned to the mano-a-mano confrontation between Paul and Fauci in which Paul began by criticizing Fauci&#8217;s handling of and response to the pandemic.
Carlson then introduced a video clip of the exchange by saying, “So today, Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, asked Fauci about all this.  Watch how Fauci responds.”
<blockquote>Paul:  Did scientists come to you privately and say, “No way this came from the lab”?  Or was their initial impression, Dr. Gary and others that were involved, was their initial impression actually that it looked very suspicious for a virus that came from a lab.
Fauci:  Senator, we are here at a committee to look at a virus now that’s killed almost 900,000 people, and the purpose of the committee was to try to get things out how we can help to get the American public, and you keep coming back to personal attacks on me that have absolutely no relevance to reality.</blockquote>
Carlson snapped, “He’s such a filthy little demagogue. Filthy little demagogue. Doesn’t answer the question, makes it all about him, solipsist that he is, and then he whips around and accuses Rand Paul of endangering his life. Fauci held up a page from Rand Paul&#8217;s website that read ‘Fire Tony Fauci.’ Now, Fauci is the highest-paid federal employee and one of the longest-serving. He works for us, so we have a right not to want him to work for us anymore, that’s called democracy. But according to Fauci, that&#8217;s illegitimate. He blamed Rand Paul’s webpage for alleged threats of violence against him. In other words, if you criticized me you’re trying to get me killed.”
Carlson later continued, “Meanwhile, Fauci refused to take any responsibility for the lockdowns that he supported that wrecked the country in a lot of ways.” Carlson played the clip of Paul asking, “Do you think the lockdowns were good for our kids? Do you think we slowed down the death rate? More people have died now under President Biden than under President Trump. You are the one responsible. You are the architect. You are the lead architect for the response from the government and now 800,000 people have died. Do you think it’s a winning success what you’ve advocated for government?”
Fauci answered, “Senator, first of all, if you look at everything that I said, you accuse me of in a monolithic way telling people what they need to do. Everything that I’ve said has been in support of CDC guidelines: wear a mask; get boosted —”
Carlson said bitingly, “Are you following the reasoning here? So the first time Rand Paul asks him a question Fauci says almost a million people have died, you can’t ask me that question. So then Rand Paul says yeah, almost a million people have died but you were making the rules. So you’re not taking any responsibility for that? And Fauci, rather than answer the question, or manning up in any way, says, well, I wasn’t really in charge; I was just giving suggestions on TV.”
Carlson repeated, “Filthy demagogue.”

Tucker Carlson Denounces Fauci: ‘Filthy Little Demagogue’

Anthony Fauci

Fox News&#8217; Tucker Carlson mocked Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA) over a recent <a href="https://twitter.com/JoeConchaTV/status/1480692303958351874">eyebrow raising</a> TV appearance that was <a href="https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2022/01/11/nancy-pelosi-eyebrows-twitter/">quickly picked up on via social media</a>.
Carlson noted of the high-ranking Democrat official&#8217;s curious new look, mocking her as the reincarnation of deceased pop star Michael Jackson, who was known for apparently having numerous plastic surgeries.
Some folks watching TV this weekend &#8220;could have had the shock&#8221; of their life if they scrolled upon Pelosi&#8217;s interview, Carlson started the segment, aptly captioned, &#8220;Shocking TV Appearance Raises Eyebrows.&#8221;

&#8220;Michael Jackson was on &#8216;Face the Nation,'&#8221; Carlson said. &#8220;Let&#8217;s be clear, this wasn&#8217;t video of Michael Jackson performing his hit songs of the 1990s; this appeared to be a living version of the international pop star that news reports claim died of a drug [overdose] more than a dozen years ago. And despite those claims, there he was: fully, undeniably Michael Jackson talking on television.&#8221;
&#8220;How can that be?&#8221; Carlson mocked, adding, &#8220;we can only show you what he saw.&#8221; The segment then cut away to a clip of Pelosi talking about January 6, 2021, and ripping into Republicans.
&#8220;There&#8217;s nothing more important for us to do than to protect our Constitution and our democracy,&#8221; the House Speaker said on &#8220;Face the Nation.&#8221; &#8220;What the Republicans are doing across the country, is really a legislative continuation of what they did on January 6th, which is to undermine our democracy.&#8221;
&#8220;See, Michael Jackson,&#8221; Carlson said of Pelosi. &#8220;That was him.&#8221;
There was no performance of the song &#8220;Billie Jean,&#8221; the Fox News host said, &#8220;apparently he&#8217;s given up singing, now he&#8217;s telling lies about politics.&#8221;
Carlson wasn&#8217;t done yet, closing the segment: &#8220;If you&#8217;ve ever seen Michael Jackson, you cannot forget the face, though admittedly, he&#8217;s had a lot of work done since we saw him last.&#8221;

Pelosi recently made news when her January 6 &#8220;grief session&#8221; included Broadway tunes, The Daily Wire&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nancy-pelosis-january-6-grief-session-brings-broadway-tunes-equity-and-a-rewrite-of-americas-ideals">Tim Meads</a> reported:
<blockquote>For some reason, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi  (D-CA) thought it was necessary to have Broadway star Lin-Manuel Miranda and several of his castmates from the hit show “Hamilton” perform a song via Zoom. As Pelosi put it, artists could just “connect in ways” better than anybody else could and she was thrilled to have them for the somber occasion. The virtual sing-a-long came right before a conversation on how to “preserve the narrative of January 6th.” Manuel’s performance did not really touch upon January 6, but with it came a bit of revisionist history.
“To begin the conversation, we’re privileged to have a contribution from one of the great creative talents of our time — Lin-Manuel Miranda,” Pelosi stated. “May his beautiful words be an inspiration to us. Among the words he said, and the music, ‘We’ll make it right for you. If we lay a strong enough foundation, we’ll pass it on to you and we’ll give the world to you.’ Lin-Manuel, and his father, and the Hamilton singers who we’ll hear from said they were all honored to participate today.”</blockquote>

Tucker Carlson Goes Viral Mocking Nancy Pelosi’s ‘Eyebrow Raising’ TV Appearance: ‘Michael Jackson’ ‘Spotted’

Michael Jackson

Nancy Pelosi

The Nielsen ratings brought <a href="https://foxnews.com/">Fox News</a> an early Christmas present.
Fox News Channel will close out 2021 as the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/fox-news-channel-closes-2021-most-watched-cable-network-sixth-straight-year">most-watched channel</a>, not merely in cable news, but on all of basic cable. Viewers have made the conservative cable news network the top channel on basic cable for the last six of the network’s 25 years on the air. FNC — which debuted on October 7, 1996 — has also outpaced its liberal competitors MSNBC and CNN to become the number one choice in cable news for two decades.
“As we embark on our 20th year as the leader in cable news, the last six of which as number one in all of cable, I am incredibly proud of the unrivaled success we’ve had at FOX News Channel,” said FOX News Media CEO Suzanne Scott.
The network owned 10 of the top 15 programs in cable news, and nine of the top 15 shows among advertisers’ most-coveted demographic: viewers aged 25 to 54.
“Tucker Carlson Tonight” ended the year as the most-watched program on cable news with an average audience of 3.2 million viewers. Carlson’s populist conservative show, which interviewed figures ranging from Kyle Rittenhouse to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, proved such a ratings blockbuster that Carlson spun off a daytime show. “Tucker Carlson Today” <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/media/545443-tucker-carlson-streaming-show-debuts-monday-on-fox-nation">began streaming</a> on FoxNation in March.
“The Five” came in second with 2.9 million viewers, followed closely by “Hannity” with a 2.88 million-strong audience.
Scott also pointed with pride to the way Greg Gutfeld’s emphatically eponymous late-night show “Gutfeld!” consistently ranks as the number-two show in late night and beat number-one-ranked Stephen Colbert in a number of weeks. Gutfeld spent the year “transforming the entire late-night television landscape in the process, ensuring our continued momentum for many years to come,” said Scott.
In all, Fox News attracted an average audience of <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/fox-news-channel-closes-2021-most-watched-cable-network-sixth-straight-year">1.3 million</a> viewers through December 13; no other channel on basic cable exceeded one million viewers on average.
Fox News showed its continued dominance of cable news in its primetime schedule. FNC’s 2021 <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/now/124-cable-channels-ranked-average-193000903.html">primetime</a> ratings were nearly as high as rivals CNN and MSNBC combined. Fox News rated first in primetime, followed by sports giant ESPN, MSNBC, and CNN.
CNN barely broke one million viewers in primetime, in large part a reflection of the tumultuous year suffered by the network’s number one host, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/opinion-one-cuomo-down-one-to-go">Chris Cuomo</a>. CNN executives stood by Cuomo as revelations surfaced that he had advised his brother, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-fall-of-andrew-cuomo-how-an-empire-built-on-fear-came-crashing-down">former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D)</a>, on media strategy to combat a string of sexual harassment allegations. As New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) released documents showing the CNN host had been more deeply involved in his brother’s defense than he publicly admitted, ratings for “Cuomo Prime Time” began to sink. The network placed him on leave pending an investigation, then <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-cnn-terminates-chris-cuomo-effective-immediately-over-scandal">fired him</a> in early December as an allegation of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chris-cuomos-former-producer-felt-threatened-by-host-report">sexual harassment</a> surfaced against the younger Cuomo brother; his SiriusXM Radio show also abruptly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chris-cuomo-out-at-siriusxm-radio-show">came to an end</a>. Presently, the network has renamed his series “CNN Prime Time” and had Michael Smerconish serve as guest host.
The network also concerned some of its core viewers in May when Don Lemon seemingly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/don-lemon-reports-fake-news-about-himself">implied his show had been canceled</a>; it had instead been rebranded “Don Lemon Tonight.”
Fox News prolonged its ratings success this year after significantly reshaping its programming lineup. In 2021:
<ul>
<li>Dana Perino joined Bill Hemmer as co-anchor of “America’s Newsroom” at 9 a.m. Eastern;</li>
<li>Harris Faulkner’s “The Faulkner Focus” began airing at 11 a.m.;</li>
<li>John Roberts and Sandra Smith became co-anchors of “America Reports” at 1 p.m.;</li>
<li>“The Story with Martha MacCallum” moved to 3 p.m.;</li>
<li>“Fox News Primetime” debuted at 7 p.m. The network announced its roster of rotating guest hosts would be temporary, with a permanent host named “<a href="https://press.foxnews.com/2021/01/fox-news-channel-to-launch-new-daytime-programming-lineup">at a later date</a>,” which has not yet arrived;</li>
<li>The late-night comedy smash “Gutfeld!” <a href="https://press.foxnews.com/2021/03/fox-news-channels-gutfeld-to-debut-on-monday-april-5-at-11-pmet">debuted</a> on April 5;</li>
<li>“FOX News @ Night with Shannon Bream” moved to the midnight slot; and</li>
<li>In June, Fox News added two new <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/trey-gowdy-dan-bongino-fox-news-weekend-shows">weekend programs</a>: “Unfiltered” with Dan Bongino and “Sunday Night in America” with former Congressman Trey Gowdy.</li>
</ul>
“Special Report with Bret Baier” also saw a shake-up, as longtime panelists Jonah Goldberg and Stephen Hayes <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/anti-trump-republicans-say-they-quit-fox-news-over-tucker-carlsons-january-6-content">departed</a> the network in November. The show’s ratings <a href="https://ctv.kwayisi.org/networks/fox/special-report-with-bret-baier/">increased sharply</a> that month.
Nielsen ratings show 2021 proved a good year for centrist and conservative alternatives to CNN and MSNBC, in general. FNC’s most successful conservative challenger, <a href="https://newsmax.com/">Newsmax TV</a>, also significantly increased its audience in 2020, due in part to controversies over FNC’s coverage of the 2020 presidential election. Newsmax grew its primetime audience by a whopping 38%, surging from <a href="https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/network-ratings-2020-top-channels-fox-news-cnn-msnbc-cbs-1234866801/">88th place</a> among basic cable networks in 2020 to <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/now/124-cable-channels-ranked-average-193000903.html">60th place</a> in 2021.
WGN America’s upstart cable news channel <a href="https://www.newsnationnow.com/">NewsNation</a>, which <a href="https://www.fourstateshomepage.com/news/wgn-america-news-nation-premiering-september-1st-2020/">debuted</a> in September 2020 and significantly <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/now/newsnation-debuts-expanded-programming-monday-120000085.html">expanded its news programming</a> this September, made its debut on the list as well.
Takeaways:
<ul>
<li>Tucker Carlson’s success shows that middle-class conservatism represents America’s true national disposition.</li>
<li>Greg Gutfeld continues to show that humor is a universal language, especially when that humor respects viewers’ fundamental beliefs and convictions. The Big Three networks will seemingly do anything to avoid presenting a conservative as funny, endearing, or in any way possessing human warmth.</li>
<li>Viewers have rewarded Fox News’ decision to reorder its programming schedule, with new program offerings clearly finding their respective audiences, especially Gutfeld, Bream, MacCallum, and <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/unfiltered-with-dan-bongino-fox-news-cnn-msnbc-ratings">Bongino</a>. More changes will be coming, as Chris Wallace departed the network for CNN&#8217;s streaming service this month.</li>
<li>MSNBC and CNN will face significant challenges in 2022. CNN has lost its most-watched host, Chris Cuomo, while MSNBC’s highest-rated personality, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rachel-maddow-considering-leaving-msnbc-report">Rachel Maddow</a>, will <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/rachel-maddow-new-contract-msnbc-1235001319/">dial back</a> her appearances on the network in the coming year. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/brian-williams-anchor-caught-misleading-about-iraq-retires-from-msnbc">Brian Williams also departed MSNBC’s “The 11th Hour”</a> earlier this month. The chaos could allow either or both networks to reconsider their embrace of elitist, left-wing, ideologically-driven programming. This is particularly true of CNN, where the incoming top shareholder has said, “I would like to see <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-would-like-to-see-cnn-evolve-back-to-doing-news-actually-have-journalists-incoming-top-shareholder">CNN evolve back to the kind of journalism that it started with</a> and, you know, actually have journalists.” Sources have indicated that MSNBC executives seriously questioned Joy Reid’s future with the network earlier this fall as well.</li>
<li>Newsmax TV has sustained its role as Fox News’ dominant challenger on the Right. Other potential alternatives include <a href="https://www.thefirsttv.com/">The First TV</a>, <a href="https://www.oann.com/">One America News Network</a>, and Glenn Beck’s <a href="https://www.blazetv.com/">Blaze TV</a>, all of which primarily find an audience via streaming platforms.</li>
<li>NewsNation, with its emphasis on unbiased reporting and a growing roster of talented news anchors (including Joe Donlon, Leland Vittert, Ashleigh Banfield, and most recently Dan Abrams), is well-positioned to make significant inroads in 2022.</li>

MSNBC host Joy Reid claimed Tuesday that Fox News hosts were intentionally spreading misinformation about COVID-19 and the available vaccines, and she argued that they were doing it because it was &#8220;fun for them.&#8221;
<a href="https://dailywire.com/news/joy-reid-seems-to-ignore-jussie-smollett-verdict-tweets-about-karens-who-made-false-claims/">Reid</a>, joined on her daily show &#8220;The Reidout&#8221; by New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay and presidential historian Michael Beschloss, said that <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/cnn-doctor-fox-news-leads-authoritarian-conspiracy-to-incite-violence-against-scientists/">Fox News</a> personalities were willfully misleading their own viewers and fans for &#8220;clicks&#8221; and that they didn&#8217;t care how many of them might die because of that.

&#8220;You know, God bless Joe Biden for — you know, he&#8217;s not perfect,&#8221; Reid began, and Beschloss nodded emphatically as she continued, &#8220;You know, there are a lot of things we can complain about about President Biden, but he actually is a caring human being who does want the whole country to survive this.&#8221;
&#8220;And there are just people there who have decided to turn him into the devil,&#8221; Reid continued, appearing to refer to Fox News. &#8220;Just because they would rather hear Tucker and all those &#8230; clowns, in a vaccinated — probably the most vaccinated company in America is Fox News — they&#8217;re all vaccinated.&#8221;
&#8220;They&#8217;re going to live through this and let their viewers and their fans die,&#8221; Reid added as Gay and Beschloss continued to smile and nod along. &#8220;They don&#8217;t give a damn. It&#8217;s just clicks to them. It&#8217;s just — they don&#8217;t care what happens, it&#8217;s — this is fun for them. You know? God bless Biden.&#8221;
&#8220;And are hundreds of thousands of people supposed to die to undermine Joe Biden and help the Republicans?&#8221; Beschloss asked.
&#8220;It&#8217;s sad,&#8221; Reid agreed. &#8220;Yeah. It&#8217;s what they think. Let &#8217;em die. If it gets them power again, they&#8217;ll let as many people die as are gonna die, they don&#8217;t care.&#8221;
President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/stop-it-now-biden-scolds-cable-tv-and-social-media-purveyors-of-lies-on-vaccines">Joe Biden</a> made a similar — if somewhat watered down — statement during his Tuesday address on the rise of the Omicron variant and the continued spread of COVID-19 in the United States.
As the Daily Wire reported:
<blockquote>[Biden] went on to note that people became more resistant to the vaccine as the summer approached, blaming their hesitance on cable news — although he did not name a specific network — and social media.
“Look, the unvaccinated are responsible for their own choices, but those choices have been fueled by dangerous misinformation on cable TV and social media. You know, these companies and personalities are making money by peddling lies and allowing this information that can kill their own customers and their own supporters. It’s wrong. It’s a immoral. I call on the purveyors of these lies and misinformation to stop it. Stop it now,” he said.</blockquote>

On Tuesday night, Fox News&#8217; Tucker Carlson slammed Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) in response to a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-maxine-waters-goes-maskless-on-cross-country-united-flight-after-bumping-passenger-from-window-seat">story first reported by The Daily Wire</a>, which included an exclusive photo of the California Democrat flying maskless on a recent United Airlines flight — despite her apparent support for masking as well as the federal government&#8217;s mandate requiring all passengers to be masked while aboard commercial airplanes.
&#8220;So, if you&#8217;re a normal person flying commercial, you don&#8217;t go ten seconds without a mask before you&#8217;re scolded by a flight attendant. By the way, that&#8217;s as they bark advertisements for credit cards over the [public address] system. When did that start happening? You&#8217;re like a captive in some credit card ad, what?&#8221; the host of &#8220;Tucker Carlson Tonight&#8221; quipped.
&#8220;But none of this happens to you if you&#8217;re Maxine Waters, &#8217;cause you make the rules — you don&#8217;t obey them,&#8221; Carlson continued. &#8220;You can be a super-spreader all you want. Maxine Waters was just spotted maskless on a United flight from Dulles to [Los Angeles], where she lives in a rich, very pale neighborhood.&#8221;
&#8220;According to The Daily Wire — which got the picture — flight attendants only asked Waters to put on a mask after they were alerted by a tipster. So, she could go barefaced for a full hour and even took a maskless nap,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Boy, if there&#8217;s a definition of luxury in commercial air travel — a maskless nap is it. Can you imagine being allowed to breathe while you nap on a plane?&#8221;
&#8220;You&#8217;ll notice that Maxine Waters was not physically dragged off the plane, charged with a federal felony, permanently banned from flying. No, of course not. She&#8217;s Maxine Waters. She gets to do whatever she wants,&#8221; Carlson surmised. &#8220;Shut up, serf. You&#8217;re not Maxine Waters.&#8221;

Last Thursday, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-maxine-waters-goes-maskless-on-cross-country-united-flight-after-bumping-passenger-from-window-seat">reported</a> that an anonymous source had provided the photo, claiming airline attendants hounded her for simply pulling her mask down to avoid a nosebleed, as had happened earlier on the flight.
But, The Daily Wire&#8217;s source said she did not receive the same treatment from United Airlines:
<blockquote>“My nose had bled pretty early into the flight, so I later on pulled my mask down below my nose to get some cooler air,” she explained. “Within a few minutes, a flight attendant informed me I had to put my mask back on over my nose, the right way, immediately.”
The source says she pointed in the direction of Waters, indicating that she wasn’t wearing a mask as a form of protest.
The flight attendant looked at Waters and said to the woman, “Okay, but you need to put your mask on the right way.”
“I put the mask on ‘the right way’ after the flight attendant told Maxine to put her mask on,” The Daily Wire’s source added. “Maxine had been napping. She did put the mask on after the attendant interrupted her sleep and told her to do so. I think she was startled by the rude awakening.”</blockquote>

WATCH: Tucker Carlson Slams Maxine Waters Over The Daily Wire’s ‘Maskless Flight’ Story

Maxine Waters

The Daily Wire

As the D.C. establishment beats war drums with Russia over the country&#8217;s potential invasion of Ukraine, on Tuesday night Fox News&#8217; Tucker Carlson <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-america-gain-nothing-from-starting-war-russia">pointed out the</a> one question that America&#8217;s elected representatives should be answering but for some reason aren&#8217;t even being asked.
&#8220;The only question that matters, the only question, is how does intervening in Ukraine help the core interests of the United States? And, of course, that is the one question no one in Washington is asking,&#8221; Carlson told his viewers in his opening monologue.
On Tuesday, The Daily Wire reported on the growing concern amongst some military experts:
<blockquote>Russia is reportedly preparing to launch a massive invasion into Ukraine in the immediate future with up to 175,000 troops, armor, and artillery as experts warn that Russia is seeking to take advantage of “weakness” from Democrat President Joe Biden.
[ &#8230; ]
The build-up by Russia comes as it demands that the U.S. guarantees that Ukraine will not join NATO and that NATO will not interfere in military activities around Ukraine.</blockquote>
The Daily Wire also reported that President Joe Biden had a virtual meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday, but that his &#8220;national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, refused to answer on Tuesday whether the world was a more or less safe place after the president met with Russian President Vladimir Putin amid concern that Russia is preparing to invade Ukraine.&#8221;
&#8220;President Biden was direct and straightforward with President Putin, as he always is,&#8221; Sullivan claimed.
&#8220;He told President Putin directly that if Russia further invades Ukraine, the United States and our European allies would respond with strong economic measures. We would provide additional defensive material to the Ukrainians above and beyond that which we are already providing,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And we would fortify our NATO Allies on the eastern flank with additional capabilities in response to such an escalation&#8221;
But prior to that meeting, Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) told media that Biden needed &#8220;to say to Vladimir Putin that we are no longer going to allow you to continue with the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. We need you to know and understand that we will defend Ukraine, we will provide them assistance. He needs to make that very clear.&#8221;
As Carlson put it, Ernst is &#8220;a totally affable, nice Republican, sort of reasonable on most things from the Midwest, suddenly sounding like a blood-thirsty warmonger; sounding a lot like actually Adam Schiff when she talks about that dastardly Vladimir Putin.&#8221;
&#8220;So what happens if we don’t defend Ukraine, Joni Ernst? Will kids in Des Moines grow up to speak Russian? No one asked her that question,&#8221; he continued later on. &#8220;She’s never thought about it for a moment. But all this reading from the same talking points &#8212; Adam Schiff to Roger Wicker to Joni Ernst. It turns out that foreign lobbying campaigns work pretty well. And that’s why the Ukrainians paid for one in Washington.&#8221;
The top-rated cable news host also pointed out that Americans never had to worry about new wars under President Donald Trump, something that has been increasingly rare for Americans in recent memory:
<blockquote>&#8220;So say what you will about <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> and his Twitter account, maybe you liked him, maybe you were appalled by his personal style. But in retrospect, if there’s one thing that Donald Trump deserves eternal credit for is keeping idiots like that in their box for four years. There were no pointless <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/politics/defense/wars" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wars</a> under Donald Trump. 
That is not a small thing in recent American history. 
In fact, it’s rarely happened over the past century. But through unwavering determination for which he’s not gotten credit &#8212; and if there’s one thing he deserves credit for, it’s this &#8212; Donald Trump pulled that off. 
He resisted again and again when members of Congress, guys from Raytheon, when all the interested parties pushed him to go to war here, there and everywhere, Donald Trump resisted that. And in Washington, above all, they hated him for that &#8230; &#8220;</blockquote>
Whether or not the U.S. provides military assistance to Ukraine, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/after-botched-afghanistan-evacuation-biden-making-contingency-plans-to-evacuate-americans-from-ukraine">reported</a> Tuesday that the White House is apparently preparing to evacuate Americans from the Eastern European country if necessary:
<blockquote>Fresh from the debacle of withdrawing from Afghanistan, where American citizens were left behind in the chaos from the Biden administration’s pullout, a report has emanated that the Biden administration, led by the Pentagon, is making plans to evacuate Americans from Ukraine if needed should the Russians invade their western neighbor. One source told <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/07/politics/us-citizens-evacuation-ukraine/index.html">CNN</a> that the Biden administration does not want to be caught “flat-footed” if the Russians invade.</blockquote>

Tucker Carlson: ‘How Does Intervening In Ukraine Help The Core Interests Of The United States?’

Russia

Ukraine

Speaking to conservative podcast host Charlie Kirk, Kyle Rittenhouse this week revealed what was on his mind during the trial as he sat expressionless like a “potted plant.”
“Believe it or not, I’m freaking out behind the scenes, because you don’t know what’s gonna happen,” the teenager <a href="https://omny.fm/shows/the-charlie-kirk-show/the-rittenhouse-interview-a-charlie-kirk-show-excl">told</a> Kirk, describing how he dealt with the trial and public spectacle.
Rittenhouse credited his support group, including his three attorneys, for helping him “stay calm.”
“What I’m thinking when I’m just the blank-faced, potted plant in court, I’m just saying in my head, ‘Is this guy serious?,’ referring to ‘Lunchbox’ and Binger, also known as ‘Little Finger,’” said Rittenhouse.
The name “Lunchbox” is a reference to Assistant District Attorney James Kraus, who was dubbed the nickname by some online commentators, perhaps due to his weight. “Little Finger” and “Little Binger” were common nicknames for Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger.
Kraus and Binger led the prosecution against Rittenhouse, who was facing life in prison without the chance of parole. Last month, the teen was found not guilty by a jury on all counts.
Appearing in a teaser clip for a documentary from Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Rittenhouse said after the acquittal that the jury “reached the right verdict.”
“Self-defense is not illegal, and I believe they came to the correct verdict, and I’m glad that everything went well.”
“It’s been a rough journey, but we made it through it,” the 18-year-old said. “We made it through the hard part.”
The special follows the teenager through the last year after he fatally shot two men and injured a third while defending himself against attackers during a Black Lives Matter protest that devolved into a riot.
“It’s the stuff that keeps you up at night, like once you do get to sleep, your dreams are about what happened and you’re waking up in a dark cold sweat,” the teenager revealed to Carlson’s crew.
Rittenhouse revealed that he has dreams about the deadly night “every single day.”
“It’s quite scary actually, because the dreams feel so real. And they’re not the same at all, they’re all different. They’re the different scenarios that run through your head during the day, like, what could have happened,” he detailed.
“I’m alive, but what could have happened, like what if I wasn’t alive, or what if I did let Mr. Rosenbaum steal my gun? It’s those types of dreams … almost every outcome is me getting seriously injured or hurt or dead. Those are the dreams I have on a daily basis.”
It was revealed during the trial by Rittenhouse’s defense attorney Mark Richards that the teenager is in therapy for the PTSD he suffers from, stemming from the night of August 25, 2020.

Within hours of its publication, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Johnny-Walrus-Matt-Walsh/dp/1956007040/ref=zg_bsms_books_1?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=Q2B5G7MQAX52GKAB76DG">Johnny the Walrus</a>,&#8221; penned by Daily Wire host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/county-changes-rules-so-matt-walsh-cant-speak-at-school-board-meeting-walsh-finds-workaround-with-new-lease">Matt Walsh</a>, has been ranked among the top-selling books on Amazon.
The book, which tackles the issue of radical transgender ideology foisted on children, hit the number one spot on the Amazon <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/movers-and-shakers/books/ref=zg_bsms_nav_0">Movers &amp; Shakers list</a>, which highlights the site&#8217;s biggest gainers in sales rank and is updated every hour.
&#8220;Embracing my true calling as a children&#8217;s author, I have written &#8216;Johnny the Walrus,&#8217; a tale about an imaginative young boy who pretends to be a walrus,&#8221; Walsh told The Daily Wire.
&#8220;The success of the book proves that people are tired of the children’s book market being dominated by left wing propaganda,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Also, it indicates perhaps that there is a mostly untapped interest in walruses.&#8221;
The book will teach children that there is a difference between reality and make-believe, and parents will learn that a child&#8217;s imaginative whims should not be turned into a full blown identity crisis, noted Walsh.
&#8220;There are dozens of children&#8217;s books brainwashing kids into the gender identity cult where they are taught that identity is malleable and biology is meaningless,&#8221; the author said. &#8220;This book is meant to be an antidote to that madness.&#8221;
Announcing the book&#8217;s launch Tuesday evening with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Walsh explained that the book illustrates that &#8220;if a young boy says that he’s a girl, it doesn’t mean that he actually is a girl.”
“See, the point here is that biology is not malleable, it’s not relative, it’s an objective reality,&#8221; emphasized Walsh.
“It’s all about a child,” the author said. “He’s very imaginative and pretends to be different things. … And one day, he pretends to be a walrus.”
“Unfortunately, his [Johnny’s] mother is very progressive,” the author explains. She gets convinced by the internet “to raise her child as a walrus — as a sort of trans-walrus, respecting his ‘self-identity.&#8217;”
The mother in the story “starts to learn … just because your child is pretending to be something, doesn’t mean he actually is that.”
The book&#8217;s description reads as follows: “Johnny is a little boy with a big imagination. One day he pretends to be a big scary dinosaur, the next day he’s a knight in shining armor or a playful puppy. But when the internet people find out Johnny likes to make-believe, he’s forced to make a decision between the little boy he is and the things he pretends to be — and he’s not allowed to change his mind.”
&#8220;Johnny the Walrus&#8221; is tagged as a “timely tale of innocence, identity, and imagination.”
Carlson, who has read the book, told his viewers, “Not only is it true, it is really, really funny.”
“You’re gonna wanna buy six copies for Christmas,” the Fox News host added. “Trust us, it’s worth it.”
Daily Wire’s vice president of publishing and editorial Alyssa Cordova noted that the book takes on a very serious issue in a light-hearted and smart style that has launched Walsh to become &#8220;one of America’s most influential conservative voices.&#8221;
“The Daily Wire’s mission is to hold the radical left accountable, stand up to tyranny, and take back the culture,&#8221; Cordova said. &#8220;‘Johnny the Walrus’ exposes the absurdity of the extreme gender ideology that many progressives are attempting to impose on children across our nation in the light-hearted, yet smart, style that has made Matt one of America’s most influential conservative voices.&#8221;
&#8220;Johnny the Walrus&#8221; is published by the Daily Wire, and makes a great holiday gift. The book is available on Amazon at <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Johnny-Walrus-Matt-Walsh/dp/1956007040/ref=sr_1_1?m=A26IC4ZC7A7L0Z&amp;marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;qid=1638215973&amp;qsid=139-8576501-7119201&amp;s=merchant-items&amp;sr=1-1&amp;sres=1956007040">JohnnyTheWalrus.com</a>.

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh’s producer, James Golden, who also goes by the pseudonym Bo Snerdley, revealed a story this week about how Limbaugh gave him a gift of $5,000 after he noticed the producer was in financial trouble.
Golden emphasized that the generous gift, which Limbaugh wanted kept between the two of them, came before Limbaugh was super wealthy and a household name, and when Golden was just &#8220;a black kid from Queens.&#8221;
Speaking to Fox News host &#8220;Tucker Carlson&#8221; during an episode of &#8220;Tucker Carlson Today,&#8221; Golden <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tv/CWrlJJsLkiQ/?utm_medium=copy_link">recalled</a> having to speak to personal creditors on the phone while he was at work. Limbaugh overheard him.
&#8220;Hey, James, can you come back in my office?&#8221; Limbaugh asked Golden at the time. &#8220;So listen, I don&#8217;t mean to pry, I don&#8217;t wanna get inside your business or anything, but I heard you on the phone. Is everything okay?&#8221;
Golden told Limbaugh how much he owed, $5,000, which the producer said is a lot of money to him now, and was especially back then.
&#8220;Don&#8217;t sweat it, everything is gonna be cool, everything is gonna work out,&#8221; Limbaugh told Golden.
&#8220;I get to work the next day,&#8221; the producer recalled to Carlson. &#8220;I want you to keep I mind, this is before Rush Limbaugh signed any big syndicated deals, this is before Rush Limbaugh-the-multi-millionaire, this is before Rush Limbaugh-I&#8217;m-on-the-track-to-blazing-success &#8212; this is before any of that. This is before there&#8217;s a Bo Snerdley, because Bo Snerdley didn&#8217;t exist then; this was James Golden, this black kid from Queens sitting in the newsroom, who used to take Rush&#8217;s stories,&#8221; Golden emphasized.
&#8220;So, the next day, I&#8217;m sitting in the newsroom, pulling stories again &#8212; in the intercom, it&#8217;s Rush. &#8216;Hey, James, can you come on in to the office for a second?'&#8221;
Golden went to the office and closed the door as instructed by Limbaugh. &#8220;Rush has an envelope. He pushed the envelope to me, he says, &#8216;Here.'&#8221;
&#8220;Inside it, there&#8217;s a check for $5,000,&#8221; Golden says, overcome with emotion. &#8220;What Rush said to me was, &#8216;I don&#8217;t want you to tell anybody about this, this is between you and me; this is not a loan, this is a gift, because good things need to happen to good people once in awhile.&#8221;
&#8220;You&#8217;re making me emotional,&#8221; Carlson told Golden.
Later in the interview, Golden said when Limbaugh revealed the news of his illness to the radio crew, he apologized. &#8220;He felt like [he] let [us] down,&#8221; the producer said.
“Tucker, he was one of the most exceptional human beings you could ever meet,&#8221; Golden asserted.
In February, Golden issued a statement of gratitude to Limbaugh’s supporters after the host was absent from the show all week. “Our prayers are with Rush as he continues to fight the illness he as been afflicted with,” he tweeted. “We are still praying for a remission. &#8230; Thanks for all of your prayers, kind words and wishes for our Rush. God Bless you.&#8221;
About a week later, after Limbaugh passed, the producer wrote, “God Bless you Rush. I love you. Always and ever.&#8221;

Bo Snerdley Makes Tucker Carlson ‘Emotional’ Revealing Story About Rush Limbaugh Before Money And Fame

Rush Limbaugh

Kyle Rittenhouse told Fox News host Tucker Carlson that, although he is trying to stay out of politics for the time being, he liked some of the policies espoused by former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang.
Calling <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/andrew-yang-says-he-has-left-democratic-party/">Yang</a> &#8220;a good dude,&#8221; <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/rittenhouse-interview-asked-about-future-in-politics-talks-possible-name-change-beard/">Rittenhouse</a> said that he liked the Silicon Valley entrepreneur, but added, &#8220;I didn&#8217;t know much about politics. I was just a 17-year-old kid.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
In a previously unaired segment from his interview with Tucker Carlson, Kyle Rittenhouse reacts to portrayals of Gaige Grosskreutz as a hero, and reveals that he was part of the &#8220;Yang Gang.&#8221; <a href="https://t.co/uzRmSe2Tfw">pic.twitter.com/uzRmSe2Tfw</a>
— The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) <a href="https://twitter.com/TPostMillennial/status/1463682017703436289?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 25, 2021</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Carlson began the segment with a comment about Gaige Grosskreutz, who was one of the three men Rittenhouse shot in self-defense during an August, 2020 riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
&#8220;Gaige Grosskreutz stuck a loaded gun in your face,&#8221; Carlson said, noting that Grosskreutz had not been charged with any crimes pursuant to his interaction with Rittenhouse.
&#8220;He — I told him I was going to the police and he pointed a gun at my head. And from what I remember — time slowed down — I just remember staring down the barrel of a pistol thinking I&#8217;m about to die,&#8221; Rittenhouse paused and took a deep breath before continuing.
&#8220;He hasn&#8217;t been charged with a single crime, and what&#8217;s really disturbing is that his DUI case was dropped right before my trial so my attorneys couldn&#8217;t ask him about it,&#8221; <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/rittenhouse-on-if-hes-been-watched-over-i-believe-gods-been-on-my-side-from-the-beginning/">Rittenhouse</a> continued, noting that the case had been officially closed just a week before the trial began.
Carlson went on to ask Rittenhouse whether he was surprised to see legacy media outlets painting Grosskreutz as &#8220;a hero.&#8221;
&#8220;I don&#8217;t see him as — In my opinion, there&#8217;s no winners in this case, there&#8217;s no heroes in this case. I defended myself, I was attacked,&#8221; Rittenhouse replied, adding, &#8220;I think it&#8217;s actually quite sickening how Mr. Huber and Mr. Grosskreutz are described as heroes when it&#8217;s on video that they attempted to murder me in the middle of the street.&#8221;
&#8220;So what&#8217;s the message you think the media are sending by describing them as heroes?&#8221; Carlson asked.
Rittenhouse said that the message he got was that &#8220;they&#8217;re saying you can go out and riot and attack anybody and you will have the support from the media and the politicians to do whatever you want and kill innocent people.&#8221;
<a href="https://dailywire.com/news/tucker-a-rapist-called-joseph-rosenbaum-died-as-he-had-lived-trying-to-touch-an-unwilling-minor/">Carlson</a> pivoted to politics then, asking Rittenhouse whether he had had any interest in politics before the protests, the shootings and the subsequent trial.
&#8220;I’m going to get a lot of hate for this, but I was a pretty big Andrew Yang supporter before all this,&#8221; Rittenhouse said, prompting a loud laugh from Carlson.
&#8220;Were you really? You were part of the Yang Gang?&#8221; he asked. &#8220;I like Yang.&#8221;
&#8220;I was part of the Yang Gang. He’s a good dude,&#8221; Rittenhouse said.
&#8220;I wasn’t really into politics. I didn’t know much about Trump. I didn’t know much about Biden. I went to a Trump rally because Trump supports the police. He’s a businessman. That’s what I liked about Trump. I didn’t know much about politics. I was just a 17-year-old kid,&#8221; Rittenhouse added.
&#8220;But you liked Andrew Yang,&#8221; Carlson said again.
&#8220;I liked Andrew Yang,&#8221; Rittenhouse replied. &#8220;I liked his policy a little bit.&#8221;
&#8220;Yeah. Well, he’s a very smart, interesting guy,&#8221; Carlson said, asking Rittenhouse whether his experiences over the last year and throughout the trial had changed his politics.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t know,&#8221; Rittenhouse said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been trying to stay out of politics completely, like, no matter what direction I&#8217;m gonna go, there&#8217;s going to be people that don&#8217;t support me no matter what. So I think it&#8217;s just in my best interest to avoid politics, because I&#8217;m not a political person. I&#8217;m just a person who was attacked and defended myself.&#8221;
