11:32 pm
a former staffer named terror reid had for the most part been ignored by the mainstream media for weeks by him did about a dozen interviews including but anderson cooper and chuck todd and george stephanopoulos they never even asked. him about it but this morning this friday morning biden went on morning joe and faced meeker brzezinski's cross-examination but mr vice president as it pertained to dr ford everyone wanted high level democrat said she should be believed that they believed it happened you said if someone like dr ford were to come out the essence of what she is saying has to be believed has to be real and why i know and i'm sure it has why is that in real for dr for it but not for terror rate. shock the heck out of me she was fierce she was relentless bravo to mika now until now for the most part even biden's perspective vice presidential candidates were given
11:33 pm
a pass but there was one glaring exception and then is now has now spoken on the record with her former neighbor who says reid told her about the allegation within a few years of the alleged incident by and campaign says untrue never happened is this a credible allegation. i believe that women desire to be heard and i believe that they need to be listened to but i also believe that those allegations have to be investigated by credible sources the new york times did a deep investigation and they found that the accusation was not credible i believe joe biden well 1st of all bravo to don lemon another my head is spinning today but not so fast the new york times says they did not clear joe biden of these allegations during their investigation although joe new talking points or do more on this with the knish d'souza coming up in the next segment now you probably
11:34 pm
recall were president donald trump make some remarks about disinfectants and ultraviolet lights to fight the coronavirus well check this out this new york daily news headline couldn't be more misleading if you read this story ok calls were made to poison control over fears of ingesting cleaners no one was hospitalized no one died now if you drank this stuff if you ingested it you'd at least go to the e.r. nobody was hospitalized so can you say fake news and remember this from back in march take a lot of them in the same eating away at rutgers man has died after he took chloroquine phosphate because he believed that would protect him from the corona virus should they require the president has been talking about clarke when you see the president's press conference where did you hear about. your. mom. ok so the media went nuts blaming the president in effect for that death
11:35 pm
turns out the man's death is now being investigated by prosecutors to see what the real story behind his deadly fishtank cleaner cocktail really is so stay tuned although i wonder if the mainstream media will even care and then there's howard stern. i mean i would love that donald would get on t.v. and take an injection of clorox and let's see if his theory works let him volunteer and or hold a big rally safe this coronavirus with all of his followers and let them all to hug each other and kiss each other and and have a big big rally rigged cocktail of disinfectant and yes and we'll take disinfectant and all drop dead. all right and he's not the only one this is sad sick twisted demented stuff it really really is all right folks joining me now to discuss some of what we just went over and more of is and i'm so happy to have
11:36 pm
a dinesh d'souza writer speaker award winning filmmaker and author of united states of socialism it's out on june 2nd there it is on your screen you could preorder that book at the knishes is a dot com there's the address the whole thing then ash welcome aboard my friend a great to be on the show it's a pleasure thank you but i thank you very much right so let's start with that the whole biden thing the alleged sexual assault story friday morning this friday morning on morning joe we are biden hadn't appeared yet but would appear mika brzezinski shot that get the heck out of me addressing the disparity in coverage between how the media was covering brett kavanaugh did cover break cavanaugh and the sexual assault allegations and are covering joe biden watch. the media should not apply kavanaugh standard to any public figure a blanket and absolute standard of simply believing all women it's a notion we just missed here on the show early on and standards for the media in
11:37 pm
covering sexual assault allegation needs to be to report the facts listen to the accuser and give the accused full to process both men and women. what do you think of that i was shocked by that and the whole interview to be quite frank with you i did it. well i actually think you're giving her a little too much credit for 2 reasons one is if you listen to the tone of her interview it was soft respectful darragh putin could just contrast me because tone with the tone of any trump press conference and you'll see the difference between a rabbit aggression and this kind of monkey a lawyer gentle drawing out the facts that's the 1st point i think is a 2nd point this new standard of listening to the accuser by doing the investigation is only unfurled and now when it's beneficial to joe biden.
11:38 pm
why not and for all the standard when you were discussing kavanagh why didn't you sound a note of caution and then when it would actually matter so what's interesting here is that they use the rabid dog standard against kavanaugh it's fails but very narrowly and now that their own guy is under scrutiny it's time to unfurl the new revised standard which is essentially let's weigh the evidence and make the kind of balanced judgment when all sides have been properly consulted i think that it's still in effect. excellent too little too late in other words and changing the game the rules of the game as it goes along excellent points and of course is still not giving terror read by his accuser her say she hasn't been able to get book done on these new shows i want your quick reaction to this dinesh a story out late last night on national review the michael flynn case the report
11:39 pm
that the f.b.i. wanted to drop that case until that back on january 7th of 017 until agent peter struck and we know all about him with his girlfriend and the letters and a lot loads and all that he intervened and he got the f.b.i. to keep the case open how could this happen in the united states of america. well 1st of all it shows you that the crooks all of the top the ordinary agents are doing their job they're doing the interrogations they're drawing normal conclusions and then the guys at the top are jumping in so it's clear that this is being rigged from the high end and in fact i don't think it stops what struck struck was probably directed to do this by comi remember that lisa page said in her e-mail to struck codice which is to say obama one student know everything i tallis sized everything which means that obama was in on this from the beginning and was being and tabs were being kept in
11:40 pm
a room remember susan rice sent an e-mail to herself basically saying obama wants to do this by the book now why would you say that unless you wanted to create a retrospective record insulating obama when the whole thing came out so i think that this goes very very high and we should not be content with grabbing some low level fish on this. ok well we'll continue to watch and coverage certainly i want to shift to how the virus is being used by the mainstream media to push their left wing agenda this is a kind of in line with your forthcoming book. and i'm very glad to ask you about it let's start with the censoring of new on social media platforms george stephanopoulos asked facebook's mark zuckerberg about these anti-lock down protests listen to what he said is somebody charged ordinary some poor and yet. it's volatile information we do classified as harmful misinformation and we take that
11:41 pm
down so they take that down of course you tube says they'll be bringing their international fact checking panel to the u.s. and out i want you to watch this also diminish 2 doctors from the bakersfield area say they have compiled their own statistics after testing more than 5000 people i say do we need to still shelter in place our insert is insanity plea know that from dr dan erikson and dr our team a c he who both own and run one of the biggest urgent care facilities in the bakersfield area now is you know the video produced by these 2 doctors was taken down removed by you tube you tweeted out about it calling it or well ian. that happened how was this again my question is how is this all happening and is the virus being used as an excuse for censorship. well 1st of all the censorship itself is extremely creepy i think stream of the creepy because
11:42 pm
you tube and the other platforms began this whole thing on the grounds that they were trying to outlaw hate speech hate speech that was presumably some kind of a provocation to violence but you can see that in these cases this is nothing to do with tapes this is a legitimate debate by credentialed people in a democratic society about an ongoing political issue 'd of great interest and so the idea that you should go with the party line in this case the w.h.o. the world health organization party line and essentially excommunicate ban anyone who is inconsistent with that i mean this is the kind of thing that would have george orwell shaking his head and john stuart mill the great defender free speech spinning in his grave we see here that the socialist impulse is not just about economics it's not just about taking your money it's also about attacking your basic liberties your right to speak your right to assemble your right to practice
11:43 pm
your religion the attack on churches for example rather blatant notice that none of this is being done by trump they all told us trump is a dictator trump will look for any pretext to take away as i was nobody's know it's the mayor is the governor is it's these democratic leftists that have shown that they've just got a little bit too much of a joe's of stallin streak running in their veins great great point great great point addition hate to nish great to talk to you i want to remind everybody that the book united states of socialism you could order in a to nash deserves a dot com it's out on june 2nd just a month from now the nash why have you back thank you so much my friend it was so great to talk to you. it's always a pleasure. all right folks i want you to stay right where you are have you heard what jimmy kimmel said about the vice president the united states bishop's remarks we have that and we'll talk about that and more with our tease scottie nell hughes that's right she joins us next she'll be weighing in don't go
11:45 pm
30 years ago the berlin wall fell the cold war had essentially come to an end the fall of this cold war symbol was heralded as a new spring of nations and the end of communism decades on what is the legacy of this historic event of the promises of 1909 been fulfilled. time after time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability and it's very important to accelerate the transition to sustainable transport sustainability space where man at a more equitable and sustainable well. they claim their production is completely harmless. the big. companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away this is something else this let's keep going don't even and i
11:46 pm
mean look. this is the move and you listen to me didn't anyone and i'm stunned seemed to understand that look who is going and. why folks as we mentioned earlier in the show the mainstream media has made a decision they will push their climate change agenda by capitalizing or exploiting your fear of the coronavirus it's happening and i t's a touch your sweet has been watching and she joins us and she has this report yesterday as the fear surrounding the crowd of virus continues to grow some of the media is utilizing this pandemic as a time to put so-called climate change a head of our very own freedoms but is there a way to have some logical middle ground in this fight as people or in lockdown environmentalist have noticed a trend. normally at around 1 o'clock on a on
11:47 pm
a weekday morning it would be this part would be filled with there's an uptick in trees and wildlife with less pollution as flying and driving down oil plunges on wall street but is hunkering down with limited amount of freedoms really insert to saving the environment in b.c. he might say so is this a real time experiment on our impact on. the environment is a real families i met a real time experiment swedish climate activists sundberg couldn't help but jump on board with well she says climate activists will push even harder a swedish professor of environmental science says the crime of everest pandemic in the climate change are quote tightly interconnected and we're going to human health . in 2 countries and course. the crisis is a. far bigger anderson the under secretary general of the united nations is singing
11:48 pm
a similar to we should consider the lockdowns a silver lining to my mental helps so there's a silver lining with children being out of school and people falling into poverty and shutting down the economy isn't a bad thing as long as the environment is thriving well in case you're not in lighting just yet don't worry filmmaker michael moore has you covered in his new documentary we are losing the battle to stop climate change i've got a question. hall long do you think we humans have i think you said the amount of time. being high and i would say probably about 10 years 1012 years plus some elites say they support the environment yet continue to jump on private jets it makes you wonder who is actually helping the environment hunters may get a bad reputation but they actually help fund state wildlife agencies as you can see roughly 3300000000 dollars comes from hunting and fishing related activities and something else you won't hear in the mainstream media some green energy like wind
11:49 pm
turbines isn't all that good for the environment the u.s. fish and wildlife service saying at least $500000.00 birds are killed from one turbines each year steve. martin tasha thank you very much joining us now to discuss these climate change reports and much more is the host of news views use here on our team america scottie nell you scotty welcome aboard. thanks for having me stayed on there's a beautiful ascending day and most of america the sky is clear the sunshine is streaming through the windows it's a beautiful day lots of fresh air in the world that we live in today you know we're about to pick up what this guy who was a reporting on you have networks really going hard yet bill weir the climate guy on c.n.n. he did a letter a video letter to his son apologizing for the for the virus and the climate and we got to listen to science there combining these 2 issues playing on our fears of the
11:50 pm
coronavirus and saying we were warned about this you better listen to the warnings about climate change and it's really they do it without hesitation it's really an exploitation of our fears i believe. well you know steve i like to give the 360 view both sides and they tell you on one side you do have the climate change folks saying listen you thought coronavirus is bad and there are thousands of disease wrapped in the arctic ice that is melting so if you think this is bad just wait till some of these possible other diseases hit the world when we melt the arctic well you know that that gives you an argument but the other side of it is going but wait a minute there's also the economic impact i mean can you really change admissions standards without having a huge economic impact which is what we're seeing right now in the united states in the e.u. so there is actually this balance of the arguments going on right now that even those that love the environment they consider the climate change every one of their top 3 priorities they're going it's really hard for us to push our agenda when we
11:51 pm
know that there are 30000000 americans right now out of a job that obviously that's more important to them so i like i said i think of your os the board right now you are seeing both sides pushing their arguments the truth is we are seeing greenhouse gas emissions are going to be down 8 percent just based on the last 6 weeks and people were do saying they're driving but what's whole has that taken on our society and our economy and we actually sustain absolutely. absolutely that those are the questions are and i want you to watch jimmy kimmel go after a vice president mike pence for not wearing that mask on his visit to the mayo clinic watch mike pence he's required to keep his lips free at all times for kissing master this was good though this patient i hope and i only assume this guy wore pink socks just to make mike pence uncomfortable i don't maybe mike pence just wants to catch it already and be put out of his misery i mean you know i mean and
11:52 pm
he camels not alone i mean there's we played earlier i think by you know howard stern aside a soundbite from howard stern saying he hopes so all trump supporters drink clorox and die i mean these people are knots. nothing about this rhetoric is a new coming out their mouth but i think what is you know and to for the record i do think the vice president meant should have had a mask on he's in a hospital environment and that is the policy of the hospital which mayo clinic put out but i understand at this stage you know they're going to take anything here's what really made me angry about this steve is later on in his comment he called the trump supporters his army of imbeciles that what is where i think this is going to be a real hard thing to get over is the insults for those that are saying listen i want to have my right whether to choose whether or not wear a mask whether or not to go into a business those people being called names like army of imbeciles as well as what we saw the names being called of the people in michigan yesterday in the state capital demonstrating their rights whether you agree with them or not insults and
11:53 pm
name calling it does not help either side come to a solution and that actually shows just how rabid some of these folks hate the president and hate anybody that supports them absolutely ok now i want to go to a kind of a rarity it's rare when i show host knox's own network up but that was the case kind of when howard kurtz of fox news took to task 2 recent fox news guests of a very controversial remark that they made about the coronavirus watch. 2 prominent television doctors had to walk back their comments about coronavirus after a sharp a backlash dr oz said on fox that we should reopen the schools dr phil in a separate fox appearance minimize the impact of the virus personally i'd rather hear from medical doctors who actually know something about infectious diseases. i mean that's you know that's pretty gutsy i guess it was okayed by everybody but there's still he's knocking the choice of guests who appeared on fox shows and he's
11:54 pm
of course on fox well and that's a thing i think is actually more of covering in their own behinds on this one you know obviously we've heard about people like trish reagan diamon and so others on fox news saying one thing being let go by the network while there's people who are still saying those exact same basically reflections of some that people believe here in america and here and they're going to keep their job and some are not in this case i think howard kurtz is more distant this from a legal standpoint to show how both dr phil and dr dr oz went on and apologized and said they were wrong in their statements fox just wants to make sure that they are covered whether it's because there's this magic that there's this behind the scenes that legal case grow against him that we keep hearing rumors about or just the general mob mentality that is going out against him that's on both sides are mama teles are tacking beliefs that do not are not beholden to their own so i think fox is really just trying to cover their own and howard kurtz want to make sure that a case is ever won and when in front of a judge look we actually showed their apologies it was right not once but twice.
11:55 pm
right scottie for the folks out there besides the obvious that you're at home like i'm at home how is this and we've got less than a minute how is this changed you as a journalist do you think this whole virus. this is absolutely changing as as a good as a person as a mom but also as a journalist in the fact that right now it's really hard to everybody is truly saying the same thing conflicting so you can go down one line and this is a potential cure for coronavirus and then literally the next day you hear no it's not trying to find trusted sources today that do not have their own agenda is even more difficult and you're seeing how quickly people can just swim a one way or the other so truly trying to find the facts in a situation you have to dig deep and you have to qualify your sources even more than normal when it comes to something as important as the coronavirus scotty great to see you great to talk to you i'm sure everybody out there feels the same way the
11:56 pm
