TUCKER CARLSON IS UP NEXT.
>> Tucker: GOOD EVENING AND
WELCOME TO "TUCKER CARLSON
TONIGHT," BIG CHANGES IN THE
TINY HOTHOUSE IN THE TINIEST
CABLE NEWS THIS EVENING.
CNN’S TOP RATED ANCHOR CHRIS
CUOMO HAS BEEN PULLED OFF THE
AIR LIKELY FOR GOOD.
YOU’LL PROBABLY NEVER SEE HIM ON
CAMERA AGAIN.
FOR US HERE AT FOX, AND FEELS
LIKE THE END OF SOMETHING WEIRD
LIKE MOST AMERICANS, WE NEVER
ACTUALLY WATCHED THE CHRIS
PALMER SHOW ASSUMING THAT’S WAS
ITS NAME.
WE SAW CLIPS AND IT TRANSFIXED
US.
HOW WE WONDERED HOW A MAN WHO
COULD BARELY SPEAK ENGLISH WIND
UP WITH A PAYING JOB ON
TELEVISION?
SOME KIND OF WEIRD AFFIRMATIVE
ACTION PROGRAM FOR THE
ILLITERATE?
WE NEVER FIGURED IT OUT.
IT WAS REMARKABLE TO SEE IT.
SENTENCE AFTER BADLY MANGLED
SENTENCE, HE COULDN’T UNDERSTAND
ANY OF IT.
IT WAS A KIND OF PERFORMANCE
ART, COMMUNICATOR WHOLLY UNABLE
TO COMMUNICATE, THEN THERE WAS
THE WEIGHT LIFTING, SOMETHING
WRONG WITH LIFTING WEIGHTS OR
KEEPING IN SHAPE OBVIOUSLY BUT
THERE WAS ALWAYS SOMETHING VERY
WRONG WITH THE VIDEOS THAT CHRIS
CUOMO HAD SHOT OF HIMSELF AND
THEN PUT ON THE INTERNET.
IMAGINE WANTING OTHER PEOPLE TO
SEE THIS.
>> SORRY.
GETTING A LITTLE PRESHOW PUMP.
CUOMO PRIME TIME. 100 POUNDS, WORK IT OUT, LITTLE
100 POUNDS, WORK IT OUT, LITTLE
BIT OF LIGHT STUFF.
NEWS TIME.
>> WE ARE ALSO USING THAT
DUMBBELL.
>> MULTITASKING FOR A REAL MAN.
>> Tucker: HIS POOR STAFF.
YES, WE MADE FUN OF CHRIS CUOMO
QUITE A BIT ON THE SHOW, PRETTY
RELENTLESSLY FOR THE PAST FIVE
YEARS.
HE WAS ALSO IN THE WAY THAT THEY
TEND TO BE INCREDIBLY
SELF-RIGHTEOUS AND FALSE.
HERE HE IS FOR EXAMPLE
PRETENDING TO EMERGE FROM SELF
IMPOSED QUARANTINE IN HIS
BASEMENT AFTER RECOVERING FROM
COVID.
>> A HUGE DAY TODAY, TAKE A LOOK
AT THIS.
HERE IS THE OFFICIAL FROM THE
BASELINE.
CLEARED BY CDC, JUST WORKED OUT,
IT HAPPENS.
THIS IS WHAT I’VE BEEN DREAMING
OF LITERALLY FOR WEEKS, THIS IS
THE DREAM IS TO BE BACK UP HERE
DOING NORMAL THINGS.
>> Tucker: HIS POOR FAMILY, HE
PULLED THEM INTO IT.
WE LEARN THE WHOLE THING WAS
FAKE.
CHRIS CUOMO HADN’T QUARANTINED.
IN FACT, HE’D BEEN OUT AND ABOUT
WANDERING AROUND LONG ISLAND
WITHOUT A MASK YELLING ANYONE
WHO QUESTIONED HIM.
NOW, NO ONE ELSE AT THE TIME IN
THE MEDIA SEEMED BOTHERED BY
THIS BUT IT STRUCK US AS A BIG
DEAL.
BUT HIS BOSSES DIDN’T CARE.
BEFORE HE KNEW IT, HE WAS BACK
ON TELEVISION BARKING AT YOU FOR
YES NOT WEARING A MASK.
>> PUT ON A MASK.
YOU’RE IN CALIFORNIA AND
RIVERSIDE, WHERE THE MASK.
YOU WANT TO AVOID SITUATIONS
LIKE THIS WHERE YOU LIVE, WHERE
THE MASK.
WE CARE ABOUT DOING THE RIGHT
THINGS, I HAD THE DISEASE.
YOU NEED TO WEAR A MASK AND YOU
HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF OTHER
PEOPLE IN YOUR COMMUNITY AND
IT’S GOT TO BE ABOUT US BECAUSE
HELP IS NOT GOING TO COME FROM
ABOVE.
>> Tucker: SAID THE GUY WHO
SCREAMED AT SOMEONE ELSE FOR
POINTING OUT THAT HE WAS NOT
WEARING A MASK.
AT THE TIME, AND IT SEEMED
PRETTY UNFORGIVABLE TO US AND IT
STILL DOES SEEM UNFORGIVABLE BUT
ONCE AGAIN, HIS BOSSES WEREN’T
BOTHERED AT ALL.
IT SEEMS THERE’S NO PENALTY FOR
FALSENESS.
THE ONLY THING YOU CAN’T DO AT
CNN, THE THING THEY WILL NEVER
TOLERATE IS DISPLEASING THE
PEOPLE IN CHARGE.
THAT MEANS NOT SIMPLY ZUCKER WHO
RUNS THE COMPANY BUT THE
BILLIONAIRES WHO RUN THE
COUNTRY.
YOU CROSS THEM, YOU ARE DONE.
SO THIS MORNING WHEN WE SAW THE
"ATLANTIC" MAGAZINE, WE KNEW IT
WAS CURTAINS FOR CUOMO.
IT FUNCTIONS AS A KIND OF MODERN
SOCIAL REGISTRY, A PLACE WHERE
THE RULING CLASS TO TALK TO
ITSELF AND THE ATLANTIC DECIDED
IT WAS DEEPLY DISPLEASED CHRIS
CUOMO HAD DARED TO HELP HIS
BROTHER, THE FORMER GOVERNOR OF
NEW YORK WHEN HE WAS ACCUSED OF
SEXUAL HARASSMENT.
CHRIS CUOMO MUST GO, THE
ATLANTIC DECLARED AND IN THE
WORLD THAT HE LIVES IN, THE
ATLANTIC MAKES THE RULES.
AND THAT’S WHEN FOR THE FIRST
TIME EVER AND VERY UNEXPECTEDLY,
WE STARTED TO FEEL SORRY FOR
CHRIS CUOMO.
HELPING HIS BROTHER IS NOT THE
WORST THING HE EVER DID IT IN
FACT IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE BEST
THING HE EVER DID.
NOT BECAUSE ANDREW CUOMO WAS A
GOOD PERSON, HE CERTAINLY WASN’T
A GOOD PERSON BUT HE WAS CHRIS
CUOMO’S BROTHER AND THAT’S WHAT
YOU DO WITH BROTHERS EVEN
BOTHERSOME ONES.
YOU HELP THEM WHEN THEY NEEDED.
MATT, IT’S CALLED LOYALTY.
THIS IS AN ALIEN CONCEPT.
IS THERE A SINGLE PERSON AT CNN
OR ANY OTHER LEFT-WING NETWORK
WHO WOULD RISK HIS JOB TO HELP
HIS OWN BROTHER?
ABOVE ALL, THESE PEOPLE ARE
RUTHLESS CAREERISTS.
JEFF ZUCKER TOLD THIS GUY TO
DENOUNCE HIS OWN WIFE ON
TELEVISION, DO YOU THINK YOU
HESITATE BEFORE DOING IT?
OF COURSE HE WOULDN’T COME IN
OUT FOR A SECOND.
SO WHEN WE TELL YOU THE MEDIA
ARE CORRUPT, WE DON’T JUST MEAN
THEY ARE CORRUPT POLITICALLY, IT
IS MUCH DEEPER THAN THAT.
YOU DON’T ACKNOWLEDGE THE MOST
IMPORTANT ROLES IN LIFE, YOUR
FIRST OBLIGATION IS TO YOUR
FAMILY, YOUR FIRST OBLIGATION IS
NOT TO THE STATE, NOT TO A
POLITICAL PARTY, NOT TO JEFF
ZUCKER OR SOME CREEPY LEADER,
IT’S IT’S NOT EVEN TO YOUR OWN
CAREER.
YOUR MOST BASIC OBLIGATION IS TO
THE PEOPLE YOU ARE RELATED TO.
WHEN THEY NEED YOUR HELP NO
MATTER WHO THEY ARE EVEN IF
YOU’RE THE GOVERNOR OF A STATE,
EVEN IF THEIR HORRIBLE PEOPLE,
YOU HELP THEM ANYWAY BECAUSE
IT’S YOUR FAMILY.
IT CHRIS CUOMO MAY BE AN IDIOT
