>> A Fox News host was kicked off of his own show on Fox Nation, that's the digital streaming
platform for Fox.
The name of the show was UN-PC and his own female co host alleged that he had been sexually
harassing her.
Tyrus is the name of the guy who has been booted off the show, and he had, on multiple
occasions, sent her unwanted and unsolicited text messages with lewd, sexual comments.
Here's a video featuring Tyrus and McHenry.
>> Who the heck are we?
Okay, well, he's one word like Madonna Tyrus.
You may know him from a show.
It's a little show, a very big show called Greg Gutfeld Show and he's also famous for
slamming people around the wrestling ring, not me.
>> As for Britt, thank God it didn't work out with that sports network.
What was that place called?
ESPN, UPN, USY, ABC?
But now we have our own show.
It is called UN-PC, a place where we can speak our minds on the topics other people are afraid
of.
But there's a little more to us, so let's roll that beautiful tape.
>> It's more a reflection of society right now and how left wing UN-PC it's gotten.
>> So he hasn't been fired.
They booted him off of UN-PC and then they gave him his own show called Nuff Said.
Sounds like compelling news content, yeah.
>> Yeah, that was already scintillating that TV show.
But here's my favorite irony here.
When they asked other Fox News staffers, hey, how would you think about Tyrus potentially
sexually harassing his co-host?
They said, well, he talks in a politically incorrect ways.
The name of the show is UN-PC, okay.
>> Mm-hm >> They're not politically correct.
But Brit McHenry all of a sudden when it happens to you, hey, I like you so much, right?
Cuz it isn't about like, hey, making sure that everyone says all the, just the perfect
things.
No, it's so that somebody doesn't come and try to take advantage of his position to have
sex with you, and that's why we try to defend folks like you, but you laughed and derided
it.
And, in fact, the whole name of your show is to make fun of people who are trying to
protect you and then it turns out, oops, you need the protection.
>> Your point reminds me a little bit about, and I apologize, I forget the name of the
republican lawmaker.
But it was a republican lawmaker who had alleged she was divorcing with her husband and she
alleged that he had committed sexual misconduct against her.
But when it came to Christine Blasey Ford, and her testimony against Kavanaugh, she was
not very empathetic toward Blasey Ford.
And I bring that up because it just appears that they expect sympathy, and expect understanding
when they're victimized, and I'm more than happy to provide that sympathy and that understanding.
But I would just ask if they extend that to others who have been victimized, right?
And I would also ask them to not wait until they've experienced it themselves to treat
others with respect and understand what victims go through.
That's all I'm saying.
>> Yeah.
>> You know?
>> Yeah, and I think for me, a big thing that stands out, too, is this idea of being PC,
right?
And I've had many conversations in regards to this is, I think people see it oftentimes
as something isolated from anything else, right?
From the political environment, from the structures of oppression that we live under, right?
So these things like patriarchy and white supremacy that are, every day institutions,
cultural forces that basically influence everything we're talking about is very much a product
also of our language and how we think about things.
So, what often times and to be fair, the much of the left does this as well but the right
often does this.
Or the idea that you could have a straight pride parade for example, is this idea that
you're divorcing what's happening from any sort of political context, right?
So the idea that again this sort of, when we're talking about rape culture, it doesn't
start with the individual people that are doing the most degradious act, right?
It starts with the culture that allows us to persist and obviously, in my industry,
when we look at through the media movement, it's not just the individual bad actors who
are causing harm that allow this to happen.
There's a culture that allows this to happen.
Unless we're willing to shift that, we're never actually going to deal with the problem
itself.
And part of shifting that is understanding, shifting how we're thinking, shifting how
we're talking, and much of that comes with the idea that right.
I'm sure many of the comments he made, like you said, Jank, would be easily dismissed
as, that's just who he is.
Boys will be boys, right?
But when you look at sort of the broader cultural issues at play, we really have to actually
look at how we're speaking and what that's a product of in terms of our thought process.
>> Definitely.
>> In fact, the Daily Beast had two sources aside from Fox News, so it's that not only
said, as I alluded to earlier, well, he's just being politically incorrect.
And they said, well, his humor is edgy to say the least.
You know what that means.
That means he says to everybody, and he says wild outrageous things and as long as his
jokes, it was jokes.
A person like Britt McHenry who's hosting a show called UN-PC is not going to turn around
and complain if you guys are actually good friends and he made and joke that was a little
too racy.
No, he's obviously coming onto her.
And so Fox News, they're not, they moved them all for one show but that's not doing anything.
You moved them to a context where he can then sexually harass other people.
>> Exactly.
>> And in fact, they gave him his own show.
I don't know if it's because they're like, well, compared to the decades of sexual harassment
and assault that Roger Ailes did while he was running the network.
It's not a big deal, compared to the five tremendous lawsuits that Bill O'Reilly paid
off for doing sexual harassment.
This seems like nothing, right?
No, it's still sexual harassment and you should do something about it.
And they're such bad guys, because both apparently according to The Daily Beast reporting, both
Tyrus and McHenry are terrible to the people they work with as well.
Like the camera guys, the crew, etc.
And they're constantly yelling at them and belittling them.
Tyrus yelled at one of them because, they took down a banner for one of his favorite
teams and put up the banner for another team.
Like if Edwin and Craig did that here, took down a Steelers banner and put up a Cowboys
one just to mess with me or as a joke.
Could you imagine if I was like, how dare they?
And started yelling at them.
>> You might if there's like fantasy football somehow involved in the situation.
>> No.
>> You get real salty over fantasy football.
You come in in a rage.
>> No, no.
>> Not towards us.
>> Not towards you, guys.
>> Yeah, yeah.
>> Okay, and then obviously.
My god, Edward actually has a Raider's shirt on.
How dare you?
I mean what kind of a guy does that, man?
Humorless people who like to kick down and kiss up, right?
And so last thing on this, Anna's right.
It was Joni Ernst, the senator from Iowa.
When Christine Blasey Ford started to say, I don't care, I want Kevin on the court and
then all of a sudden, when gets divorced.
I can't believe it happened to me, right?
And Rob Portman, the Republican senator from Ohio.
His son came out as gay, and he said, okay, that's it, I'm gonna vote for gay rights.
And great, I love that you changed your mind on it.
But with Cnservatives, it's always one inch in front of my nose.
It's like if you are perceived as the other in any way, shape or form, I got nothing but
fear and hatred for you.
Okay, you're my son, okay, fine, all right, since you're gay, I'm all right with it.
It happened to me, now I want protections.
Yeah, it's not political correctness that asks for minimum level of protection.
And apparently, Fox News, still not given the door.
>> One final thing I want to say is, look.
I get it and I know what the media landscape is like if you're looking to break in, if
you're looking to establish yourself, it's tough out there.
But with that said, as a woman, when a company tells you who they are, believe them, right?
Look at the way Fox News, and Fox as a company has treated the whole issue of me, too, right?
And look, I don't mean Fox as an entire like, Fox is not just Fox News.
I don't mean like the entire broader Fox family, I just mean Fox News and its digital platform.
How have they covered the Me Too Movement?
How have they treated women who have come forward with sexual assault and sexual harassment
allegations?
If they have minimized it, if they have belittled that movement, it is very likely that they
will minimize any type of victimization within their own institution.
