And how about some must see Independence Day programming a speech by nation of islam leader Louis Farrakhan well well tell you who scheduled it and then pulled it and why that might have happened im steve walz berg lets see the press. Oh yeah oh. Jesus wishes. To buy. A law everybody happy 4th of july weekend and i want to thank you for putting the press on your holiday. Menu id like to start with one of the most egregious examples of advocacy slash agenda driven journalism ive ever seen in my life c. N. N. s Brooke Baldwin had a guest on from black lives matter an organizer named molina abdula and she sat back and let her say these things about President Trump well i think we need to remember who he is that you know donald trump is them body met a white supremacist terrorism we need as a country to be willing to point to him and say that he is actually the terrorist and shes not only didnt baldwin challenge her guest she decided to pile on as if in defense of what she just heard wow those are strong strong words obviously the white house would dispute that but youre youre allowed your freedom of opinion and the fact is that the president is highly critical of black lives matter you know also has been critical of this notion of you know tearing down our nations monuments simply disgusting but im sure shell get a raise or a bonus over at c. N. N. Now on to the Washington Post and folks i know youve i think im making this up and i really kind of wish i was making this up one of the papers opinionated hers with a message or a veiled threat to white women you are lucky were not calling for revenge the tweet by karen attire captured by the Washington Examiner list several grievances including that 53 percent of white women voted for trump and it ends with white women are lucky were just calling them karyns sounds like a veiled threat to me the tweet was then deleted but a tie up tweeted in french that she had no regrets about her original posting how does this woman still have a job what would happen if a conservative editor made similar comments and tweeted them out about black women. Do you think would happen i think we all know the answer to that and speaking of continued employment ryan lizza of politico and c. N. N. He actually asked this question at a White House Press briefing does he believe this person trying to believe that he would. Sell off the civil war which cayley mcinerney replied this way the session is absolutely absurd hes proud of the United States of America Bravo caylee theres a was way ahead of the line a moment now for some news about the coanchor of this program at henry after everything claim an investigation involving Sexual Misconduct in the workplace and has been terminated from fox news that stunning announcement coming from ed henrys former cohost on americas newsroom sandra smith reportedly an attorney for a former fox employee came forward on june 25th with an allegation of sexual impropriety from years ago henry was 1st suspended and then following an investigation he was let go this past wednesday ok last week i played you an attempt by a philadelphia reporter a local guy to get Vice President mike pence to say black lives matter he badgered him over and over and over again well last week on c. B. S. Is face the nation John Dickerson he picked up where that other gentleman left off one thing protesters would like to hear is leaders say black lives who have hurt you wont say that why. All my life ive been inspired by the example of the reverend Dr Martin Luther King Jr and as a prolife american i also believe that all life matters born and unborn and he kept going what i see in the leaders of the black lives Matter Movement is a political agenda of the radical left that would defund the police that would leave that out of a trigger very monuments that would that would present. A radical left agenda that. And and in support of coals for the kind of violence that has mis sent the very communities that they say that theyre advocating for the right but so you want to say my class senator. John i really believe that all lives matter now contrast that with Tucker Carlson on fox and talk across that to me is a must watch every single night he went after republican senator braun senator mike braun who wants to end the immunity that Police Officers have against being sued watch fuel at home here is im sorry im sorry we just showed tape of you senator saying that we need to pull back we need to make it easier to sue the police because of quote agree just incidents like the death of ray sharpe brooks you said you wanted to speak about specifics do you believe that he was killed on justly do you believe officer ralph deserves the Death Penalty which he now faces what does he mean by that i think thats going to be determined by the court and when it comes i did it so what do we hold on you cited it what do you think of it youre the one who called it egregious so why dont you tell us what i surrender should have done when this man fired a taser at him what do you think is Chuck Schumer control i thought republicans controlled the senate and senator in place in your shoes from Chuck Schumer you got to saying Chuck Schumer might criticize me therefore i have to pass a law that makes it easier to simply talk youre going after a republican on fox on the issues not playing a game of gotcha like dickinson did and the others with pence thats talker carlson. Ted rall is a syndicated political cartoonist and columnist and author of a brand new book political suicide the fight for the soul of the Democratic Party now we claims he was fired by the l. A. Times back in 2015 because the l. A. P. D. Wanted out and ted joins us now ted welcome back to the show sir thank you steve. All right so you recently wrote a letter to the executive editor of the Los Angeles Times and i want to read a little bit from that letter to begin with the times should come clean about its longstanding cozy relationship with the l. A. P. D. It should end this deep conflict of interest which makes it impossible for your paper to report objective way about the police when the media fails to hold the Police Accountable they are free to abuse the citizens they are supposed to protect my case shines a light on how the media censors critics and breed selfcensorship by journalists i was the times editorial cartoonist from all night to 2015 my cartoons often criticized Police Brutality and racist policing instead of stopping their abuse of minorities the police repeatedly demanded that the papers that read my cartoons fire me those requests fell on deaf ears until 2014 when the times brought in a new publisher so why do you believe that you were fired by the l. A. Times because of pressure from the l. A. P. D. Well because the times has sworn to that in a deposition that they filed with mustnt alysa pure court i sued them after i was fired and in the course of the previous coverage process the times filed a deposition stating that there was a meeting secret meeting between the l. A. P. D. Police chief at the time charlie back and the l. A. Times publisher at the time Austin Buettner in which buettner and back met beck asked buettner to fire me as a favor to him and it should be noted at the time that the l. A. P. D. Pension fund was at that time the number one shareholder of the Parent Company of the l. A. Times in 14 other newspapers the companys culture abune publishing in that relationship has since been severed financially as far as i know but certainly the other times seem to remain in and theyre still fighting my lawsuit. So they said so theyve admitted it the publisher of the pasadena weekly has also published a piece in that he was requested by the police to fire me because they didnt like my entire Police Cartoons that were critical of the way that they treated people of color so they told it they admitted it was some really admit ok so so let me let me go on and you bring up your antiPolice Cartoons and there was talk of you exaggerating an incident that you were involved in with the police in 2001 heres one of your cartoons on the police calling them mountain lions who can strip search and finger rape you it seems to me to be a bit over the top and and this recent tweet by you calling for complete the funding of the police and calling them scumbags so some might say you know its you with the problem with the police well i do have a problem with the police because the police are so often very abusive of their power and they falsely accuse people of crimes they didnt commit in order to fill their quotas and they rough people up who are not resisting arrest so yeah i have a problem with the police i dont have a problem with the idea of the police or the theory of policing but i and but the the way the policing is actually occurring in the United States in this day and age it just doesnt were and its ineffective and it actually i think is a form of criminality in an up itself so to your book 5 political suicide the fight for the soul of the Democratic Party who or what in your view is the soul of the Democratic Party i dont think you believe its joe biden your cartoon here on biden ism seems to indicate that you dont believe that he is the answer at all so who is and where is the party. Well the party is split and thats what political suicide is about its about the struggle that has happened that has basically been going on since the 1972 defeat of George Mcgovern by Richard Nixon between the corporatists neo liberal wing embodied by Hillary Clinton and joe biden and the progressive wing of the party embodied currently by Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren so to answer your question which one is the sole well neither theyre fighting over to see which one its going to be currently progressives seem to be the majority of the voters but the d. N. C. Is controlled by the liberal by the neo liberal wing so theres this fight going on joe biden is asking us to do something that has never worked in american president ial electoral history which is to vote for a candidate purely based on our contempt or dislike of the sitting incumbent that has never worked he could work this time theres a 1st time for everything but i would be more comfortable and i think many voters would agree if biden were to articulate a clear agenda of ideas that would tell us i think what he plans. To articulate anything clearly appears to be problematic but thats a whole nother story ted great to see is sarah thank you for your coming on and stating your side of everything well speak to you again sounds good. Ok folks we hope that this piqued your appetite as we like to say stay right here for the main course were going to have a good surprise for you on this 4th of july weekend dont go away. You cannot be both with the yeah you want. Before. All of trump became a household now states and other world over. Washington ceased to be a city that. Gender corridor compromised by what is a sure National Interest people talked about gridlock in congress but you people got the bell. To the right so the radicals in both parties. This happened to. Be a solid bipartisan centrist approach to politics both domestic and foreign predates clark thats for sure. Folks as we sit here on this july 4th weekend theres little doubt that were living through you know problematic times in many respects so i sat down and i said what id like to talk about all thats going on with on this 4th of july weekend then i came up with to our t. V. Host believe it or not 2 people who i admire very much both have shows here in our city and they are father and son can you guess who im talking about thats right im happy to welcome in governor Jesse Ventura the host of the world according to jesse and the host of watching the hawks tyrrel. Ventura guys ive been wanting to do this in the back of my mind thank you both for coming on this is so great and long before your your r t days you guys both appeared on net t. V. To get the truth see these conspiracy theories governor what was it like working with your son tyrrell on that show well ive actually worked with him twice he he shot a movie down in mexico and was the director of the movie and i participated as an actor. Ive worked for him twice in that situation and then of course i was the principal person in Conspiracy Theory and he came and worked for me but russia thrill for me and especially here at our t. V. Because tyrrell came to our t. V. 1st so nobody can say i gabi in the job that his days it paved the way for him you know im not like the white house but anyway that so and said he it he has seniority on me and its its a let me finish steve i was watching baseball the other day and all you see is old films and i saw the griffey s. Sr and jr ended up on the same team and hit back to back home runs in that game almost of the identical spot in the outfield and i thought i know what the griffey is feel like. Thats a great analogy and tyrrell so you got your dad the job here right thats how it worked and what i did i play by the way a god god jesse has a job here i put in a good word. Well its great its great that people let that start because we dont have a lot of time unfortunately governor ive had the pleasure of interviewing you several times over the years most recently i think 4 years ago when i was on newsmax t. V. And we had this exchange you said we should take down the statue of liberty while while because we dont want the poor and ive tried many more. Ok now you have very prophetic back then even if you were speaking figuratively look at where we are today governor statues coming down everywhere whats your take on whats going on with that. Well my take is their size served in the military and i actually for 3 weeks served at fort benning i went through 5 months let me repeat 5 months of u. D. T. Seal training and then 3 weeks of Army Airborne training just want to get that in 5 to 3 weeks but anyway i didnt Pay Attention i was 19 years old i was getting ready to deploy overseas so fort benning did mean nothing to me other than teaching me out to jump out of a plane because i didnt like dealing with the army anyway being in the navy but i think absolutely these names need to change because theyre named after traders are we going to have a Benedict Arnold base now well maybe we do because in the movie stripes bill murray the base they went to was camp arnold maybe that was named after Benedict Arnold or my father fought in world war 26 bronze battle stars under patton and he told me what a great general rommel was well maybe we should name a base after rommel too you know these people are traitors they should not have nothing made after them. Well you know that maybe barack obama should have done something about it and have these diet is obvious both and i know that. When i hear i really wait a minute i hear it referred to by trump and obama we dont take an oath to the president we take an oath to the constitution and bill writes it is not obama army and it is not trumps army. Might buy that but the provide point is the media has blasted trump for not being on board with these changes and they gave obama a pass let me move on to tyrrell real quick here speaking of being prophetic years the president a couple of years ago and then john oliver mocking him watch tyrrell this week its robert e. Lee i notice that Stonewall Jackson is coming down i wonder is it George Washington next week and is it Thomas Jefferson the week after you know you really do have to ask yourself where does this stuff ok well ill tell you where it stops some way any telling someone else what does it stop the also is always some way you might let your kid have twizzlers but not inject black hole had it with. All right well looks like theyre going for the heroin here because theyre going after washington and jefferson just like the president said well you know you gotta like this you know History History isnt always changing and adapting thing and whenever were entering into a new era you have to look at what came out of the old error and say do we want that still to me my personal feelings on it is simply this its a statue if i want to read about the people the statue represents put it in a museum dont put it out in public display if its offensive to half the public if it represents slavery for represents the the pain of our past put them in a museum and let us you will mayor you know they get to me and say you know this is this is all about change for the future and if the next 2 big generation say we dont want these you know we dont want these ideas idols sitting in our parks we dont want these people that the half the nation is my father said you know these people who are traitors represented in our parks that we dont want them there as far as washington and jefferson but we cant get around the fact they own slaves to. Ok boy i wish we had an hour to debate all this but i want to get it back to your dad real quick here black lives matter leader shaun king says statues of jesus have to go because they white jesus are a form of White Supremacy now you cant agree with that governor yes i can and ill tell you why im like neil de grasse tyson one of my idols the astrophysicist im an agnostic atheist so youve asked the right person i have no dog in the fight but let loose so what do we have to go to then we have to go to facts lets look at the facts there are no photographs of jesus christ there are no paintings of him basically we only know about his birth and his death the 30 years in between we know not do not know nothing about so anyone who portrays jesus in any manner is simply speculating and now weve got to look at other facts where did he live he lived in the deserts of arabia he was jewish at one point in the bible they said he had kinky hair he hardly looked like a scam avion the way hes portrayed in the Lutheran Church i go to church occasionally to the Baptist Church there is no displays layer at all whatsoever and thats the way it should be nobody on this planet can say what jesus christ looked like ok but you know what you know what those who disagree are free to erect their own statues rather than tear down the existing ones and i gotta leave it at that i hate giving myself 10 seconds jesse less work on that well you know if they want to have it but you know the Baptist Church says nothing so i tell people if they depict jesus if youre offended dont go to that church ok guys i wish we had 10 more hours of this i know you do too thank you so much happy 4th of july what its worth each of you and to everybody out there thank you this is great i hope we could do it again. Here to steer us forth. Weve been talking for quite some time here on the show about the subtle changes in some of the programming on the Fox News Channel so maybe it should have come as a big surprise that a streaming service owned by fox which is aimed at the Africanamerican Community called fox old t. V. Announced that they would be broadcasting live the 4th of july message of nation of islam leader Louis Farrakhan needless to say this led to outrage from many including the head of americans against antisemitism please we beg you fox soul stop it dont do it this man is dangerous this is not is the vice of this man is filled with hate he is the 5th floor of our totty his hatred towards the jewish people towards people who are gay and many others is known by everyone how is this possible c. N. N. s jake tapper tweeted this out farah khan is a vile anti l. G. B. T. Q. Antisemitic massage ines why is a fox channel airing his propaganda good question the Simon Wiesenthal center also called for the cancellation of the broadcast citing ferric ends long record of inflammatory an antisemitic language yes censorship is a terrible thing especially when you may be censoring insightful comments such as this is not to tell the jews. That he is wrong. When the talmud in which he believes. Has taught him that. Gentile our women and black women in particular you do anything to them you want. Because they have possibly animals or you might be missing out on a chance to hear him call judaism a gutter religion or comparing jews to termites or calling hitler a great man or trash. Jews for being accepting of homosexuality and you promote something. That god rejects. Youve lost your covenant status. You were not the chosen of god. You are the charles an obsolete so this past monday fox old t. V. Cancelled the broadcast of farrah cant speak correct decision 2 years ago Pulitzer Prize winning columnist Leonard Pitts wrote this the leader of the nation of islam has for years been a toxic fountain of antisemitic and homophobic rhetoric condemn it condemn it loudly condemn it with vigor condemn it and flinching lee i couldnt agree more and then theres this from the Wiesenthal Center farah kant is a racist antisemite a demagogue and a divider at a time when all americans need to hear messages of unity and hope the values which Dr Martin Luther King Jr lived and died for why fox old t. V. Put themselves in this position in the 1st place is beyond me but they did the right thing in canceling the broadcast look censorship of any kind should never be taken lightly but if past is prologue this would have been another vile hate filled speech on the 4th of july something this country really does not need happy 4th of july everyone. Calls thats our show for today i want you to stay curious stay hungry and you could watch all our full shows and be depressed right now on the portable t. V.
