the inarguable evidence of roger ailes behavior appalled him. he found it despicable, but he also knew him as a man who was wonderful company, had a great sense of humor. in fact, he was very, very tough on his own conservative clients. r being too conservative. >> yes, he was. somebody who worked for fox news, i can tell you. >> a startling piece of information. none of us is perfect. my favorite line in shakes spair, hamlet, most certainly shakespee's voice, saying, i am myself indifferent, honest and yet i could accuse me of ch things that it would better that my mother had never born me. we're all capable of good, and we're all capable of evil. and it's my job as an actor to explore all of those gray areas. >> you've alsolayed frank ling delnor roosevelt. >> what is it? >> so i heard you describe, you said, you learned of fdrhat "he had many slippery qualities. in a way events turned him into a sort of great unwitting hero." as a despendant of franklin delano roosevelt's chief political punching bag i fully agree with your characterization.

he recounts going to confront roger ailes about fox's coverage. i once met him in new york during the obama years to plead with him to put a leash on some of the crazies he was putting on the air. it was making my job trying to accomplish anything conservative that much harder. boehner goes on to say ailes was not receptive to his request. he was not just cynic kael manipulating right-wing outrage, roger ailes believed it all too. he weaponized an entire conservative media empire to broadcast that pathological paranoia. at least until he was forced out of the network he built when more than 20 women, including high-profile fox anchors, accused him of sexual harassment. he died shortly thereafter. and so it is true that to a certain extent fox operates as a state-run tv for elected republicans. just listen to former trump secretary stephanie grisham describe the relationship. >> what was the role of fox news in the white house? >> that's just where we went to get what we wanted out. they by and large didn't get tough with us. they just took what we

one of those people was roger ailes who was the creative force behind a lot of what you saw on the airg up a reactive news service in any way, our job is to be objective. we would like to be journalists, we would like to restore objectivity where we find it lacking. we expect to do fine balanced journalism. >> tucker: a lot has been said about roger ailes, i'm not sure how much we can add to that other than to point out that man understood people, human nature, tv talent better than really anybody. that turned out to be massively important. over the years, the single most important quality, the quality that has allowed this channel to continue and thrive for a quarter century is courage. the belief that we are doing something important by letting people talk. suzanne scott and jay wallace running it day today, the one thing they have in common addition to being nice people as they are totally committed to the freedom of speech. did they agree with everything we say on this show?re we have no idea, they've never told us. what we do know is they have a pet rock, unshakable belief that th

roger ailes had an interesting comment about the state of journalism. >> journalists provide a tremendous service to this nation but they must stay true to the cause of searching for the truth and putting the stories in context and we try to do that. laura: j wallace, the entire fox news team. >> when you see headlines and reports of mass firings and hundreds of people losing their jobs look at the bigger story. todd: friday october 8th, president biden dismissing outrage over and vaccinated americans losing their job, his approval rating on the economy dips to a new low as we await a new jobs report this morning. jillian: the migrants crisis taking a toll on president biden's presidency is a delegation heads to mexico city today. will they ignore the elephant in the room? todd: reaction, joining us live where we live, heart stopping moment. jillian: you are watching "fox and friends first" on friday morning. todd: you are taking a live look at the white house where president biden is holding out hope for better jobs report after disappointing numbers in office. >> inflation sores and the

also represented former fox news anchor gretchen carlson in a workplace harassment suit against roger ailes through what this complaint says and what it means legally thinking complaint basically patterns the allegations made by brittany kamiso, and she said she was going to file a complaint, we were in the city of albany. the sheriff investigated this complaint and filed it in the city court in albany. it's not going to a grand jury because the evidence is already being put in front of a judge. so there will be a probable cause hearing. and governor cuomo, former governor cuomo will appear on november 17th, and he can demand a hearing, or the judge can say i already have enough evidence, or he can say, you know, take me to trial. this seems to have come out before everybody was settled in and before the victim was properly notified. we're a little unsure about what's going happen next. but some of the reporting is it's going to go to a grand jury. it's not. it's a misdemeanor, and in city court in albany. >> a former aide to cuomo, which you just alluded to, made this public allegation. ta

. >> just to add one more thing, tucker carlson was handpicked by rupert murdoch, not roger ailes or suzanne scott. that was a rupert murdoch pick put in that 8:00 chair and everybody at fox knows that and the american people should know too who's responsible for tucker carlson. >> great point. rupert owns it. >>> up next -- we'll chi on the man bites dog problem. >>> plus, is it too late to save local journalism? it can't be, right. the answer to the problem may be found here in baltimore, and we're going to tell you all about it coming up. the exposed dentin to help repair sensitive teeth. life is just too short to miss out on simple things like drinking that cold cup of water or having a sip of hot coffee. i have the science to prove it, i can see that it works and i feel confident recommending it to my patients. i'm really excited to recommend new sensodyne repair and protect with deep repair.

you won't see roger ailes in retrospectives, his abuse of women, his leg cam, his paranoia, his rageh on tv often delivered with a smile. ailes also brought us donald trump. executives might say that merely holding a mirror up to america's divisions, but the research is clear, fox is not just a mirror. it's an accelerant. there's a new book coming out on tuesday, it's called "the brainwashing of my dad" about exactly what you think. for the families who feel they have been torn apart by fox, this week is not a happy anniversary. that's it for this edition of "reliable sources." we'll see you back here next week. >>> left turn. progressives in congress hold the line on the president's priorities. >> our position is exactly the same as the president's. >> forcing the speaker to delay a planned vote for the second time. is the left the new power bloc in democratic politics? the woman leading the charge, house progressive caucus chair pramila jayapal will be here.

of course, you know it's rupert murdoch who created this along with roger ailes 25 years ago.k about what they were doing, i was here in the early days, no one gave us a chance. you know, ted turner was talking about squishing us like a bug. he didn't. people were saying we wouldn't last six months, we did. just it doubters, they were ever where. and for the longest time as if i headed the witness protection program, a lot of people couldn't see me. the point i'm trying to make here is that brilliant ceos, brilliant corporate leaders, brilliant people in general, they tend to see the half full glass rather than the half empty glass. and it applies to, you know, titans from the technology to everyday car guys like iacocca. and over the past quarter of a century, identify had the honor of talking -- i've had the honor of talking to more than a few of them who got that and continue to this day, a good many of them, get it. take a look back. you're watching the cavuto business report in our behind the boardroom segment, jamie dimon. how much of what you've been able to orchestrate
