dangerous when they promoted it? okay. you re talking about an anaconda which is a very dangerous animal. but i think they are doing what they re supposed to do. they are a cable network. they are looking for ratings and the best way to do that is to promote this ad nauseum all week until people tune in. is this the end of reality tv? have we just gone to where reality tv just can t? i feel like if you re stupid enough to devote two hours of your night hoping to watch somebody eaten by a snake, you deserve to be disappointed and not see the guy eaten by the snake. the show idea was dumb. i m against the animal thing, but with all the depressing news, i guess people wanted to watch something that could take their mind off of it. [ all speak at once ] that s all you can think about when you re looking at this happening. what i think is the worst part of this, the guy who did this is
they was asking me piece by piece, where i was, where i was standing at, if i was the one that shot the video. but he wasn t asking no questions about no police officer. he was asking everything towards eric, what was eric doing, why was eric there? it was nothing to do with the cop choking him. it was why was eric standing there. what was your read on that? well, i think go ahead, jim. i was going to say excuse me, faith. even an investigator, you would talk to that witness for a very long time. certainly if you re a prosecutor and you brought that witness to a grand jury, you d interview that witness ad nauseum, a minute by minute breakdown of everything they saw. also you d be gentle with the witness. the grand jury is not targeting this person. this person is a witness who made a video. so the whole system is turned
some weird things happening on the way to forum, carol. first of all, he had a pretty weak position with conservatives and i think that s actually improved in the last week because a lot of people are seeing this as a pile on by the liberal media. we have been talking about this ad nauseum for almost a week now and i think you re beginning to see the backlash of that. it may be overkill. some of the conservative party that had doubts about him are saying well wait, if the liberal media is coming after him, he can t be that bad. he is a conservative after all, he s one of us, let us embrace him. i don t know about that. anna always goes one step farther than i like. the truth is yes mark, darling, i m not trying to please you. let me give the news. clearly. no doubt about that. conservatives are closing ranks around him because there s a perception there s a pile on. i agree with that.
for subsidies, those really did have an impact. but i think the mainstream media that has been burned have gotten more skeptical. the cancellation stories, for a week there they were everywhere. and i think a vast majority of americans thought millions of people just lost their health insurance. they got a cancellation notice inviting them to join another plan that may cost them less. so that was a main stream media problem, and hopefully they got burned so they will sort of leave these other stories alone. but fox will push this story forever. as you suggest, this is an end to the stories, and the story raised, benghazi health care, there is really no reason to talk about the cover-up, benghazi, but they will keep talking about it. these right wing stories will continue ad nauseum, because
yeah, this is a real bind, obviously, for the administration. it s one talked about on the show ad nauseum almost by is do you pull out entirely in how much is too long? how many forces is too little forces. 7,000 strikes me as inefficient if there were to be a collapse and the country would be overrun. at the same time, there is very little to no political extension for even this. so the administration is trying to thread a needle here figuring out what can be sufficient to stop re-emerging threats and a lengthy deployment. doing the math on these, october of 2001, we went into afghanistan. now, we re looking at 2024. a quarter of a century almost. you talk about vietnam the length of that war. a helicopter leaves in 1975. that s ten years. the length of the war and something for put president to think about. there is no such thing as an
