she shouldn t be allowed to run, okay? there s virtually no doubt that fbi director comey and the great, great special agents of the fbi will be able to collect more than enough evidence to honor indictments against hillary clinton and her inner circle, despite her efforts to disparage them and discredit them. if she were to win this election, it would create an unprecedented constitutional crisis. in that situation, we could very well have a sitting president under felony indictment and, ultimately, a criminal trial. [ crowd booing ] it would grind government to a halt. wow. well, that was then candidate donald trump just three days before the 2016 election, saying a president under felony indictment would grind the government to a halt and create a constitutional crisis. he got the premise right, just the players wrong, as he is now the first former u.s. president and candidate to be convicted of a crime. i mean, this is what he said. she should not be able to run. i
is, will the public, or at least will a good portion of the public look at that and say, you know what, i m all for it? or, you know what? our foundational system of government and the rule of law is too important. it was telling to me, when joe biden offered his first remarks on the trial last week, he did not go after the substance of the verdict. no one expected him to do that. what he did is he got really heated about the effort to get republicans to undermine the faith in the rule of law. that s where he wants to point his anger, and that s the case he wants to make heading into the election. politics of this are going to be fascinating. yes, polling shows there is a percentage of republicans who won t vote for trump, or say the convicted felon, but now there are talking points, creating an ecochamber about how unfair the verdict was. now, let s see what the
and i agree completely, a uniquely destructive force that was enabled by the murdochs. he repeatedly thanked them for keeping him on air despite all the controversies and blowback to your larger point, even though fox itself won t change, and i think in part it s because tucker helped fuel and build this blood thirst and this appetite that that audience is going to want to be satisfied. and fox is going to aggressively work to make sure they can satiate that part of the reason he was so uniquely destructive, that he pulls in the things that were right on the edges and laundered them through the fox news apparatus not just into the right-wing ecochamber, but directly into the republican party. he built this pipeline and then leveraged the tools at his disposal to reshape and replace our politics great replacement theory is now totally acceptable in the republican party because tucker talked about it several thousand times on fox news. tara, to that point, kevin mccarthy gave only one
fifth album is coming out next month. that s not all vicky ward is in the house a seasoned magazine editor and tv reporter. she has her own newsletter which you can find it s called vicky ward investigates welcome to both of you thank you thanks for being here we will get into the fun stuff i wanted your reaction to the fox case so many people say, okay, sure, but the viewers will never find out. it seems that some of this is breaking through i m curious what you think you know, it s a fifth of the viewers, didn t i read that today? i think that s really interesting. i m in the camp that i was skeptical that the viewers of fox news would even notice that it was an ecochamber talking to an echo chamber talking to itself i was shocked to read what was
who do understand so i think if i just speak the truth, which is what i m trying to do, just speak the truth and i do so with a pure heart, that s what i m here to do. tucker: i wonder why this hasn t occurred, again for the third time, bless you for doing it but i m wondering why it hasn t occurred to senior people in this business, maybe people who ran, i don t know, our medical agencies, um, to do the same. i mean, that would just that would do a lot for the country, don t you think? i think it would do, um, it is a necessary thing to happen for this country for us to have a reckoning about this particular issue. can restore trust. people will remember this for the rest of their lives. i think the reason the people in charge of these institutions don t do anything is they re surrounded by a bunch of people that think similar to them. they re not being exposed to ordinary people in a regular basis. they re in the ecochamber, patting each other on the back all the time. for that
