Media Matters has the transcript: We haven’t watched a ton of cable news recently, but we assumed with mass layoffs across the US economy, an egg shortage, crumbling cities, the prospect of a third world war looming on the horizon, we assumed we knew what the other channels would be covering. What we didn’t know is that all of those …

“David Azerrad was born and raised in Montreal, but like a lot of ambitious and freedom-loving people, he fled later to the United States. And because all the people who care about their own rights have left, Canada under Justin Trudeau has become effectively a dictatorship. And we don’t like dictatorships, we’re American. We liberate dictatorships. That’s what we do. …

Fox News has the transcript: Barack Obama, the former president, is weighing in directly on America’s latest fake hate crime. And you have to wonder why. He’s not doing it for himself. Obama is retired at this point. He’s living on Martha’s Vineyard with all the other rich white people. He’s doing it for his wife. His wife who’s never …

Media Matters has the transcript: The race riots of 2020 were never about George Floyd, obviously. That’s why there are no statues of him in American cities.

The first step, of course, was defunding police departments across the country and forcing them to lower their standards to attract unqualified applicants: hiring officers based …

The New York Times reports: The night before the start of a humiliating and historic five-day floor fight in Representative Kevin McCarthy’s quest to become speaker, Representative Matt Gaetz, Mr. McCarthy’s chief tormentor, handed him a list of demands from a hard-right faction ensuring that if Mr. McCarthy’s victory did occur, it would only be a pyrrhic one.

“Cops are desperate for more technical training and de-escalation and stress control, so they’re not put in a position that they feel they need to use lethal force. And instead, they’re being given implicit bias training, diversity training – a complete waste of money. “But the narrative that is being put on what looks to be a very horrific incident …

“So, of course, the very same people who are weeping on television about police brutality applauded when one of Nancy Pelosi’s officers murdered an unarmed woman called Ashli Babbitt. Yes, murder. That’s exactly what that was. Far more clearly than anything you just saw in the videotape we played. So, of course, the point of this is to federalize local …

“I have to ask you about Canada, and what we saw happen there last winter – the trucker protest and then the crackdown by the authoritarian government of Canada. “I’m completely in favor of a Bay of Pigs operation to liberate that country. Why should we stand back and let our biggest trading partner, the country with which we share …

Media Matters has the transcript: SEAN HANNITY (HOST): I don’t wanna America in these long, protracted conflicts, Bill. BILL O’REILLY (GUEST): Well, neither do I, because — you got to be careful with this. Because you’ve got an unstable dictator with nuclear weapons. You’ve got to be careful with this. HANNITY: How do — how do you be careful, Bill? …

Mediaite reports: Fox News got duped into taking an obvious joke about a root beer company’s beloved mascot and turning it into fodder for the endless culture war. A Fox Business article bore the headline “A&W Root Beer puts pants on ‘polarizing’ mascot bear Rooty after M&Ms ‘pauses’ spokescandies.” Fox News also promoted the article on social media by describing …

“You can be fully vaccinated, fully boosted, have all the booster — booster 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. You can have natural immunity but you can still catch COVID. You can still get it and get sick. You can still transmit the virus to others. That’s what the science tells us. “Look at the recent findings that show that …

Media Matters has the transcript: JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): The next thing you know CRT is everywhere. And you have to look out as a parent for code words — if they have a “wellness officer” at the school. They don’t use things like CRT if they say, “A class is about belonging.” That’s what you got to look out for. …

Mediaite reports: Just in case you needed more proof we live in the dumbest of all possible timelines, M&M’s are dropping their spokescandies after backlash from Fox News and other (mostly conservative) commentators, replacing the anthropomorphic chocolates with Maya Rudolph.

NPR reports: Fox’s attorneys offer “omitted context” for the seemingly incendiary remarks by such hosts as Sean Hannity, Jeanine Pirro, Lou Dobbs and Maria Bartiromo, as well as their featured guests, including Trump and his former campaign attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell.

Mediaite reports: Speaking with Rep. James Comer (R-KY) on Sunday Morning Futures, the Fox News anchor floated the notion that the president committed treason by keeping classified documents from his time as a Senator and Vice President at his Delaware residence and his Washington office. “Is this treason?” Bartiromo asked. Comer wasn’t quite willing to go that far, but also …

“They closed the gyms during COVID. Anybody who closed a gym during a pandemic that kills people who are fat clearly doesn’t care about your health at all. “They hate nicotine. They love THC. They are promoting weed to your children but they’re not letting you use tobacco or even non-tobacco nicotine delivery devices which don’t cause cancer. “Why do …

“The most authoritarian leader that country has ever had and no one else comes close. An appalling abuser of human rights of her own people. “She, of course, earned the admiration of Western leaders including former CIA director Michael Hayden by ushering in an era of near totalitarianism in New Zealand. “She shut down the entire country over a single …
