“There are many in the mainstream media, cable news networks, and left wing liberals who are rooting for him to fail. Hate is their daily fare. They hate him so much, they want him to fail. Peace be damned. If he doesn’t get credit for being the smartest, most clever and successful negotiator presidents of all time, then we’ll know …

Media Matters provides the transcript: TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): These people are beyond — they’re literally beyond parody. Author and columnist Mark Steyn joins us.

“Mueller’s witnesses – delete all your emails and then acid-wash your emails and hard drives on the phones, then take your phones and bash them with a hammer to little itsy bitsy pieces, use BleachBit, remove the sim cards and then take the pieces and hand them over to Robert Mueller, and say, Hillary Rodham Clinton, this is equal justice …

The Smoking Gun reports: The next time Laura Ingraham decides to taunt a teenager like David Hogg, the Parkland shooting survivor now helping to lead a nationwide gun control campaign, perhaps the Fox News host will recall what she was doing when she was Hogg’s age.

“The president said, ‘Dinesh, you’ve been a great voice for freedom.’ And he said that, ‘I got to tell you, man-to-man, you’ve been screwed.’ He goes, ‘I’ve been looking at the case. I knew from the beginning that it was fishy.’ But he said upon reviewing it he felt a great injustice had been done and that using his power …

“Trey Gowdy is a phony! Think about it. He was in charge of Benghazi, he was in charge of various committees, but what did he do? Nothing! He’s never done anything! No charges, no indictments, no revelations, nothing has ever happened except he gets to have some terrific moments as I think he did with Hillary Clinton. After 11 hours …

Mediaite reports: Fox News host Pete Hegseth offered a curious response to Ed Henry when his Fox & Friends Weekend co-host reminded him that innocent people died in the violent clashes between Palestinians in Gaza and Israeli security forces. “We should separate out,” Henry said. “There could be some innocent Palestinians, including children, who were killed.” “Because Hamas told them …

“Jeff Sessions has done nothing to make anyone responsible for the blatant corruption, the unmistakable perjury, the in-your-face obstruction of our laws that we’ve seen play out every day.

“The fact that so many kids are awash in video games, I mean these kids spend so much time in front of their television screens with some of these very violent and realistic video games.
