Instead the President United States,
the former President States opened up a January 6 video which is insane.
He should be running from that period.
I don't care his point of view.
That is not a good thing for him.
I thought that was absolutely awful.
>> That was Brian Kilmeade calling Trump insane for supporting the January
6 rioters during his campaign rally in Waco, Texas over the weekend.
There's a lot more from where that came from.
Why don't we hear more from Kilmeade?
And then we'll get into some other Fox news hosts going after Trump, but
Cenk can't help himself.
So go ahead, Cenk.
>> Before you do that in that clip.
Did you notice Rachel Campos stuff?
Hey, I think that's her with her eyes being like this, okay.
So let's watch to see what the other two reactions are in the next clip.
>> This is such an opportunity for Republicans just to say, look at what we
did, look at what he's doing, look at what we had, look at what he's doing.
And I think for President Trump to spend 80% of his time complaining about court
cases instead of just looking at his own record and what he would have done.
And let me tell you what I would have done to SPG.
Let me tell you what I would have done over in to Syria.
If we our guys got hit for the 74th time and twice in two days,
he does that or other candidates do that, they're gonna be unbelievably
successful because that's gonna be the conversation at the kitchen table.
Instead, the President United States,
the former President States opened up a January 6 video which is insane.
He should be running from that period.
I don't care his point of view.
That is not a good thing for him.
>> No, this is one of those rare instances where Cenk interrupting me makes a lot of
sense because I didn't notice that before because I'm looking at Kilmeade.
He's the one speaking, but look at the discomfort.
Rachel Campos Duffy and I don't know the name of the other guy are experiencing
as Kilmeade is trying to very gently critique Donald Trump for
opening his rally with the January 6th choir by the way to honor them.
The rioters who broke into the capitol and caused all this havoc.
>> So first, there was the Campo Duffy's local [LAUGH] towards him.
But the other interesting thing was the constant looking to presumably producers.
They're like.
>> What do we do?
>> What do we do? >> What to do.
>> Do we step in?
Is this legal, is this allowed?
He says things that are against Trump.
That's good. That's what we're doing.
We're doing that now, okay, all right.
Then I won't say anything, okay.
Which by the way they are.
Kilmeade is a good team player.
The, the memo at Fox is it's okay to hit Trump.
We're supporting desantis now.
You gotta balance it out so you don't lose the entire audience.
Kilmeade is actually towing the company line here and
notice Kilmeade never criticized Trump before Murdoch made the turn and
said we're in favor of the DeSantis instead of Trump.
>> That's exactly right.
And I have noticed that, by the way, Will Cain is the name of the other Fox and
friends host in that video.
So Fox has seemed to turn on Trump to some extent,
considering all the negative commentary he's been getting on the network.
Another example is actually Stuart Varney,
who didn't take kindly to a moment where Trump apparently threatened violence
against the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg.
Now he did this in the context of social media.
He was on truth social and
he posted an article that included imagery of Trump like wielding a bat around
Trump shared the image of himself holding a baseball bat with bragg's hands up.
So the New York post covered it and
they included the image of this on their front page.
On his true social platform Thursday as he devoted his day to
attacking the prosecutor for
pursuing a case over hush money payments to adult actress, Stormy Daniels.
The bat image was pulled from an article that he shared but was not removed, okay.
So Stuart Varney, who was also a giant Trump supporter was not happy about this.
And honestly, I think what he's about to say provides a lot
of common sense to the Republican Party if they're genuinely concerned
about winning in the next election.
But it doesn't matter for diehard Trump supporters,
they're not gonna hear any of that.
So without further ado, let's go to the last video here.
>> I don't think America wants that kind of behavior in a presidential candidate.
I think they're tired of it.
I don't think they like to see him wielding a baseball bat prior to some
possible charges in court.
I just don't think it goes down well with a majority of people.
What do you say?
>> Well, yes, no, I think you're exactly right about it.
And I think that even in 2016 people would have rather not had to turn to
somebody like Donald Trump.
How do you think independence in this country will react?
>> I don't think he's trying to win independence right now.
I think he's trying to.
>> You can't win the election without independence, right?
But you got 30%.
>> One of the greats.
You may get them.
But if he doesn't have the independence.
>> Right. >> He can't win.
>> So in at least two separate discussions,
Stuart Varney brought up the bat photo and clearly was not happy about it, but
he's actually making a good point.
And honestly a point that Republican leadership I'm sure is concerned about,
which is why they're trying to prop up DeSantis.
Donald Trump does well with the Republican base.
Clearly, he does not do well when it comes to the rest of the electorate,
namely the independent voters who get turned off by some of his antics.
Yeah.
>> That's what hurt Republicans during the midterm elections, right?
All the Trump candidates, most of the Trump candidates didn't perform well once
they made it to the general election.
Yes, so there are no good guys here.
But let me break down two different camps, Rachel Campos stuff.
He was the one that kind of halfway debated him for about three minutes in
one of those instances that we just showed you and she kept going back to.
Well, it's a two tier justice system and Donald Trump and
his fans are just complaining about the two tier justice system.
>> What?
>> Yeah.
>> Okay, yeah, let's talk about the two tier justice system.
If anyone else committed the kind of tax fraud that Donald Trump had committed,
the kind of financial fraud that Donald Trump committed,
they'd be in prison right now.
>> 100% what I talked about this on Friday's show, it's that the right wing,
especially the elites within the right wing have never been held accountable
their whole lives.
There's almost no rule of law for them.
So that's why when the idea of being held accountable is a new concept to them.
For the left wing, we're always under the thumb of the law, right?
But for a lot of the powerful people in the right wing,
they've never heard of it, right.
The idea that a rich Republican go to jail.
It's just such a foreign concept.
That's why they're like, shocked.
They're like this, did you guys know that in the justice system that if you break
the law, you can go to jail?
Yeah, the rest of us all already knew that the ironic thing is there is a two tier
justice system.
You're just in the tier that never gets held accountable and
now you're shocked to find out that you might be held accountable anyway.
So that's that camp that says we can break the law if we want to because we're right
wingers the Stuart Barney campus guys, you're gonna cost us the election.
And how we're gonna get tax cuts for the rich.
If you cost us the election, he doesn't care about the bats or anything like that.
And neither does Murdoch.
They're just like we need those independents.
We need to trick those independents into voting for us.
>> That right, yeah. >> So we do more tax cuts for the rich.
>> No, that is exactly right.
>> So it's not like he's a good guy.
He's just pointing out elementary politics.
>> I know that the amazing thing that like pointing out elementary
politics to the viewers is just taking this massive risk because of
how they're gonna react to it.
>> 100%, by the way, we have that on the left too.
If you point out super elementary politics,
the extreme leftists are like, no, okay.
So everybody's got their incredibly counterproductive litmus test.
But anyway, the right wing has mastered the course in that.
Unfortunately, it's the majority of the party, not a fringe little part of it.
So now, last thing is, Trump,
he doesn't owe to the January 6 riders in the beginning, okay.
Look, Kilmeade outrages.
If this is the first time he's ever heard of it, we're all super used to it.
But my point isn't that my point is.
So if you're doing an ode to them, forget the ode, why don't you give them money?
They're in prison now, they need legal help.
You have hundreds of millions of dollars that you raised from people and
including probably people in that crowd in Waco, Texas.
So said, why don't you come out to the speech?
And by the way, you get tons of shit, say, what,
I'm giving $100 million to the defense fund.
>> I'm gonna cover their legal fees.
>> Or I'm just gonna forgive you.
You probably don't need anywhere near $100 million.
I'm gonna cover their legal fees.
He's not giving them one dime $0.
>> Nothing.
That's what he's giving them because Trump is a fraud.
He's the most obvious con man in the world right wing.
I don't like your brand of populism.
The economic stuff.
We can maybe one day off in the future unite on, your culture war stuff is toxic.
But if you're gonna pick a populist,
couldn't you pick one that was a quarter honest.
Whose main thing is it robbing you guys?
I mean, he does the biggest robbery of you, not us.
>> The problem is Trump is a showman.
You get what I'm saying?
>> Yeah. >> So in a political environment that has
increasingly become more about culture wars and
cults of personality, someone like Donald Trump who can dunk on other
Republicans as well as he does is appealing to the voters, right?
Because all of us, it's not just Republican voters.
All of us at this point have been so conditioned to expect so
little from our elected lawmakers.
>> 100%. >> And from our politicians and so
politics has just turned into a blood sport.
It's turned into a massive ridiculous reality show.
And that is what I think a lot of voters judge candidates on to some extent.
>> No, Ana, you're 100% right?
You're forcing me to say one last point.
forcing? >> Yes, you're forcing, you made me do.
Trump got past the goalie,the goalie because he was a celebrity and
he was a clown.
So the mainstream media thought, celebrity we always cover celebrity.
>> Right.
>> And he's a clown.
So it's harmless, right?
So progressive populist can't get past the goalie because the goalie is the media and
they're progressives, they actually care about American citizens.
No, block, don't cover them.
Don't give them any press because if you give us press, we might attack and
be really popular like Donald Trump is.
The unspoken iceberg of support that Donald Trump has is because partly
because he attacks the establishment, they never talk about that.
Yes, some of it is because of the racism, bigotry, sexism, etc, right?
But a huge part of it is he just says FU to the establishment which people love.
He's the first to get past the goalie.
>> Yep. >> So he's collecting all the f
the establishment vote that should be progressives, collecting that.
But we cannot get past the mainstream media.
If we're being honest, they're actually our biggest opponents.
